This report describes changes to the Fund that occurred during the reporting period.
What were the Fund’s costs for the last year?
(based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)
| | |
Share Class | Costs of a $10,000 investment | Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |
Class M* | $49 | 0.45% |
| |
* | During the period, fees were waived and/or expenses reimbursed pursuant to an agreement with the Fund’s investment adviser, BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. If this agreement is not extended in the future, expenses could be higher. |
How did the Fund perform last year?
• For the 12-month period ended August 31, 2024, the Fund’s Class M shares returned 17.15%.
• In comparison, the Morningstar Moderate Target Risk Index returned 15.55% for the same period.
What affected the Fund’s performance?
• Global markets rose amid U.S. economic growth, a strong job market, continued disinflation, a central bank easing stance, optimism regarding artificial intelligence, and healthy corporate earnings, margins and balance sheets.
• The Fund’s performance relative to the Index benefited primarily from its equity position, driven by asset allocation, largely due to an overweight allocation to U.S. large-cap issues.
• Fixed-income positioning detracted from relative performance, resulting from overweight allocation to the lagging U.S. investment-grade category.

How did the Fund perform over the past 10 years? The Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund’s future performance. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. | Cumulative Performance from September 1, 2014 through August 31, 2024 Initial Investment of $10,000 Years Ended 8/31 |
The above graph compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund’s Class M shares to a hypothetical investment of $10,000 made in each of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (a broad-based index), S&P 500® Index (a broad-based index), and Morningstar Moderate Target Risk Index on 8/31/2014. The performance shown takes into account applicable fees and expenses of the Fund, including management fees and other expenses. The Fund’s performance also assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Unlike the Fund, the indexes are not subject to charges, fees and other expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in any index.

| | |
Share Class | Costs of a $10,000 investment | Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |
Class M | $59 | 0.57% |
How did the Fund perform last year?
• For the 12-month period ended August 31, 2024, the Fund’s Class M shares returned 7.20%.
• In comparison, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 7.30% for the same period.
What affected the Fund’s performance?
• Bond prices generally gained ground as inflation moderated, and the U.S. Federal Reserve paused its rate hiking cycle. Corporate bonds outperformed U.S. Treasury bonds, agencies and mortgage-backed securities.
• The Fund’s performance relative to the Index benefited from slightly overweight exposure to corporate bonds and solid duration management.
• Overweight exposure to finance-related corporate bonds enhanced relative returns, as did a bias toward lower-coupon mortgage-backed securities.
• A small position in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities detracted slightly from relative performance.

• In comparison, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 15.07% for the same period.
What affected the Fund’s performance?
• Expectations for U.S. interest-rate cuts helped propel emerging markets to a positive return over the period, although China underperformed, owing to continued market concerns about the country’s economic recovery.

• Bond prices generally gained ground, as inflation moderated and interest rates plateaued. Shorter-maturity yields fell more than longer-maturity yields, while lower credit quality municipals outperformed.
• The Fund’s performance relative to the Index benefited from exposure to longer-dated maturities, and from security selection in the AA-rated category. New York State holdings further enhanced relative returns.
• From a sector perspective, tax-supported general obligation securities were the strongest contributor to the Fund’s relative performance.
• Holdings of securities with maturities shorter than the Index were major detractors from the Fund’s relative performance.

• The Fund’s performance relative to the Index benefited from exposure to longer maturities than the Index and from security selection among AA-rated bonds.
• From a sector perspective, positive contributors to relative performance included tax-supported securities, education sector bonds and industry development revenue/pollution control revenue (IDR/PCR) bonds.
• Securities with a duration shorter than the Index detracted from relative returns, as did cash holdings.

• Resilient U.S. economic growth, a softening but still strong job market, continued disinflation and a shift to central bank easing, along with lower yields, contributed to positive sentiment.

How did the Fund perform over the past 10 years? The Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund’s future performance. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. | Cumulative Performance from September 1, 2014 through August 31, 2024 Initial Investment of $10,000 Years Ended 8/31 |
The above graph compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund’s Investor shares to a hypothetical investment of $10,000 made in each of the Russell 3000® Index (a broad-based index), Russell 2000® Index, Russell 2000® Growth Index, and Russell 2000® Value Index on 8/31/2014. The performance shown takes into account applicable fees and expenses of the Fund, including management fees and other expenses. The Fund’s performance also assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Unlike the Fund, the indexes are not subject to charges, fees and other expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in any index.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The following tables describe the performance for each share class of each fund for the fiscal periods indicated. All information (except portfolio turnover rate) reflects financial results for a single fund share. Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, and redemption at net asset value on the last day of the period. Net asset value total return includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
BNY Mellon Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust that is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company, operates as a series company currently consisting of seventeen series, including the following diversified funds: BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund, BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, BNY Mellon International Fund, BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund and BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund (each, a “fund” and collectively, the “funds”). The objectives of the funds are as follows: BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund and BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund seek capital appreciation and BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund seeks total return (consisting of capital appreciation and income). BNY Mellon International Fund and BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund seek long-term capital growth. BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund seeks long-term growth of principal in conjunction with current income.
BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY”), serves as each fund’s investment adviser. The Bank of New York Mellon serves as administrator for the funds pursuant to an Administration Agreement with the Trust (the “Administration Agreement”). The Bank of New York Mellon has entered into a Sub-Administration Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which BNY pays the Adviser for performing certain administrative services.
Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc. (“Boston Partners”), and Geneva Capital Management LLC (“Geneva”), serve as BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund’s sub-adviser with respect to the Boston Partners Mid Cap Value Strategy and the Geneva Mid Cap Growth Strategy, respectively. Newton Investment Management North America, LLC (“NIMNA”), also an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY and an affiliate of the Adviser serves as a sub-adviser of (i) BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund; (ii) BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund responsible for the portions of the fund’s assets allocated to the Opportunistic Mid Cap Value Strategy and the Mid Cap Growth Strategy; (iii) BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund responsible for the portions of the fund’s assets allocated to the Opportunistic Small Cap Strategy, the Small Cap Value Strategy and the Small Cap Growth Strategy; and (iv) BNY Mellon International Fund. NIMNA, subject to the Adviser’s supervision and approval, provides investment advisory assistance and research and the day-to-day management of the respective fund’s assets or the portion of the respective fund’s assets allocated to the strategies described above. NIMNA has entered into a sub-sub-investment advisory agreement with its affiliate, Newton Investment Management Limited (“NIM”), which enables NIM to provide certain advisory services to NIMNA for the benefit of the funds, including, but not limited to, portfolio management services. NIM is subject to the supervision of the NIMNA and the Adviser. NIM, also an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY and an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the sub-adviser for BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund. NIM has entered into a sub-sub-investment advisory agreement with its affiliate, NIMNA, which enables NIMNA to provide certain advisory services to NIM for the benefit of the funds, including, but not limited to, portfolio management services. NIMNA is subject to the supervision of the NIM and the Adviser.
BNY Mellon Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is the distributor of each fund’s shares. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class M and Investor and for BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund only Class A, Class C, Class I and Class Y. Class A and Class C shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear Distribution and/or Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class A shares generally are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class A shares bought without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more may be charged a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% if redeemed within one year. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after the date of purchase, without the imposition of a sales charge. Class I shares are sold primarily to bank trust departments and other financial service providers (including BNY and its affiliates), acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or an investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no Distribution or Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value per share generally to institutional investors, and bear no Distribution or Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class I and Class Y shares are offered without a front-end sales charge or CDSC. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental

entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Each fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the FASB ASC Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. Each fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The funds do not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.
(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value each fund’s investments are as follows:
The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has designated the Adviser as each fund’s valuation designee to make all fair value determinations with respect to each fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight and pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act.
BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund: Investments in debt securities excluding short-term investments (other than U.S. Treasury Bills) are valued each business day by one or more independent pricing services (each, a “Service”) approved by the Board. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of a Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by a Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by a Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Securities are valued as determined by a Service, based on methods which include consideration of the following: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. The Services are engaged under the general supervision of the Board. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in equity securities and exchanged traded funds are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. For open short positions, asked prices are used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value. All of the preceding securities are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices. U.S Treasury Bills are valued at the mean price between quoted prices and asked prices by the Service. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a Service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs and futures. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
78
When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the funds calculate their net asset value, the funds may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.
For securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange.
The following below summarizes the inputs used as of August 31, 2024 in valuing each fund’s investments:

(b) Foreign currency transactions: Each relevant fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized on securities transactions between trade and settlement date, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments resulting from changes in exchange rates. Foreign currency gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are also included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Foreign taxes: Each relevant fund may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, realized and unrealized capital gains on investments or certain foreign currency transactions. Foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the funds’ understanding of the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the funds and are reflected in the Statements of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of August 31, 2024, if any, are disclosed in the funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
(c) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with BNY, the funds may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the funds’ policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Adviser, or U.S. Government and Agency securities. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold or re-pledged by the funds, except in the event of borrower default. The securities on loan, if any, are also disclosed in each fund’s Statements of Investments. The funds are entitled to receive all dividends, interest and distributions on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner, BNY is required to replace the securities for the benefit of the funds or credit the funds with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the funds’ rights against the borrower and the collateral. Additionally, the contractual maturity of security lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. Table 1 summarizes the amount BNY earned from each relevant fund from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement during the period ended August 31, 2024.

For financial reporting purposes, each relevant fund elects not to offset assets and liabilities subject to a securities lending agreement, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Therefore, all qualifying transactions are presented on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of August 31, 2024, each relevant fund had securities lending and the impact of netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received, if any, based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the securities lending agreement are detailed in the following tables:

(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Adviser are defined as “affiliated” under the Act.
(e) Market Risk: The value of the securities in which each fund invests may be affected by political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed-income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect each fund. Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies world-wide.
Foreign Investment Risk: To the extent each fund invests in foreign securities, each fund’s performance will be influenced by political, social and economic factors affecting investments in foreign issuers. Special risks associated with investments in foreign issuers include less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political and economic instability and differing auditing and legal standards.
Emerging Market Risk: The securities of issuers located or doing substantial business in emerging market countries tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the securities of issuers located in countries with more mature economies. Emerging markets generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Investments in these countries may be subject to political, economic, legal, market and currency risks. Special risks associated with investments in emerging market issuers may include a lack of publicly available information, a lack of uniform disclosure, accounting and financial reporting and recordkeeping standards and limited investor protections applicable in developed economies. The risks also may include unpredictable political and economic policies, the imposition of capital controls and/or foreign investment limitations by a country, nationalization of businesses and the imposition of sanctions or restrictions on certain investments by other countries, such as the United States.
ETF And Other Investment Company Risk: To the extent each relevant fund invests in pooled investment vehicles, such as ETFs and other investment companies, each relevant fund will be affected by the investment policies, practices and performance of such entities in direct proportion to the amount of assets each relevant fund has invested therein. The risks of investing in other investment companies, including ETFs, typically reflect the risks associated with the types of instruments in which the investment companies invest. When each relevant fund invests in an ETF or other investment company, shareholders of the fund will bear indirectly their proportionate share of the expenses of the ETF or other investment company (including management fees) in addition to the expenses of each relevant fund. ETFs are exchange-traded investment companies that are, in many cases, designed to provide investment results corresponding to an index. The value of the underlying securities can fluctuate in response to activities of individual companies or in response to general market and/or economic conditions. Additional risks of investments in ETFs
84
include: (i) the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value; (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained; or (iii) trading may be halted if the listing exchanges’ officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts trading generally. The fund will incur brokerage costs when purchasing and selling shares of ETFs.
Fixed-Income Market Risk: The market value of a fixed-income security may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity. Liquidity can decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity may be caused by a rise in interest rates (or the expectation of a rise in interest rates). An unexpected increase in each of the relevant fund redemption requests, including requests from shareholders who may own a significant percentage of each of the relevant fund’s shares, which may be triggered by market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, could cause each of the relevant fund to sell its holdings at a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely affect each of the relevant fund’s share price and increase each of the relevant fund’s liquidity risk, fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. Federal Reserve policy in response to market conditions, including with respect to interest rates, may adversely affect the value, volatility and liquidity of dividend and interest paying securities. Policy and legislative changes worldwide are affecting many aspects of financial regulation. The impact of these changes on the markets and the practical implications for market participants may not be fully known for some time.
(f) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Dividends and distributions payable to shareholders are recorded by each fund on the ex-dividend date. BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund and BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund normally declare and pay dividends from net investment income monthly. BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, BNY Mellon International Fund and BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund normally declare and pay dividends from net investment income annually. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but each fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers of a fund, it is the policy of each fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(g) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of each fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes. For federal income tax purposes, each fund is treated as a separate entity for the purpose of determining such qualification.
As of and during the period ended August 31, 2024, the funds did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. Each fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended August 31, 2024, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the four-year period ended August 31, 2024 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

During the period ended August 31, 2024, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, where indicated each identified fund increased (decreased) total distributable earnings (loss) and increased (decreased) paid-in capital as summarized in Table 5. These permanent book to tax differences are primarily due to the tax treatment for treating a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as a distribution for tax purposes for BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund and BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by these reclassifications.

Pursuant to separate sub-investment advisory agreements, Geneva and Boston Partners serve as a sub-adviser responsible for the day-to-day management of their respective portion of BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund’s portfolio. The Adviser pays Boston Partners and Geneva separate monthly fees at an annual percentage of BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund’s average daily net assets allocated to the Boston Partners Mid Cap Value Strategy and the Geneva Mid Cap Growth Strategy, respectively. The Adviser has obtained an exemptive order from the SEC (the “Order”), upon which the funds may rely, to use a manager of managers approach that permits the Adviser, subject to certain conditions and approval by the Board, to enter into and materially amend sub-investment advisory agreements with one or more sub-advisers who are either unaffiliated with the Adviser or are wholly-owned subsidiaries (as defined under the Act) of the Adviser’s ultimate parent company, BNY, without obtaining shareholder approval. The Order also allows the funds to disclose the sub-advisory fee paid by the Adviser to any unaffiliated sub-adviser in the aggregate with other unaffiliated sub-advisers in documents filed with the SEC and provided to shareholders. In addition, pursuant to the Order, it is not necessary to disclose the sub-advisory fee payable by the Adviser separately to a sub-adviser that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY in documents filed with the SEC and provided to shareholders; such fees are to be aggregated with fees payable to the Adviser. The Adviser has ultimate responsibility (subject to oversight by the Board) to supervise any sub-adviser and recommend the hiring, termination, and replacement of any sub-adviser to the Board.
During the period ended August 31, 2024, the Distributor retained $2,768 from commissions earned on sales of BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund Class A shares and $24 from CDSC fees on redemptions of the fund’s Class C shares.
(b) Under the Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class C shares of BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund pay the Distributor for distributing its shares at an annual rate of .75% of the value of its average daily net assets.

During the period ended August 31, 2024, Class C shares were charged $7,969 pursuant to the Distribution Plan.
Each fund has adopted a Shareholder Services Plan with respect to its Investor shares.

Each fund pays the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of its Investor shares, and BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund pays the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of its Class A and Class C shares, based on the respective fund’s average daily net assets for the provision of certain services. The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding a fund, and services related to the maintenance of such shareholder accounts. The Shareholder Services Plan allows the Distributor to make payments from the shareholder services fees it collects from each fund to compensate service agents (certain banks, securities brokers or dealers and other financial institutions) with respect to these services.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract. (Unaudited)
At a meeting of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) held on March 18-19, 2024, the Board considered the renewal of (i) the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement, pursuant to which the Adviser provides the funds with investment advisory services and The Bank of New York Mellon is responsible for the provision of administrative services to the funds (together, the “Management Agreement”); (ii) the separate Sub-Investment Advisory Agreements with respect to BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, pursuant to which (a) Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc. (“Boston Partners”) provides day-to-day management of the fund’s investments allocated to the Boston Partners Mid Cap Value Strategy, (b) Geneva Capital Management, LLC (“Geneva”) provides day-to-day management of the portion of the fund’s investments allocated to the Geneva Mid Cap Growth Strategy, and (c) Newton Investment Management North America, LLC (“NIMNA”) provides day-to-day management of the portion of the fund’s investments allocated to the Opportunistic Mid Cap Value Strategy and Mid Cap Growth Strategy; (iii) the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, pursuant to which NIMNA provides day-to-day management of the portion of the fund’s investments allocated to the Opportunistic Small Cap Strategy, the Small Cap Value Strategy and the Small Cap Growth Strategy; (iv) the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund, pursuant to which NIMNA provides day-to-day management of the fund’s investments; (v) the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to BNY Mellon International Fund, pursuant to which NIMNA provides day-to-day management of the fund’s investments; (vi) the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund, pursuant to which Newton Investment Management Limited (“NIM”) provides day-to-day management of the fund’s investments; (vii) the Sub-Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund, BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund – Opportunistic Mid Cap Value Strategy and Mid Cap Growth Strategy, and BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy – Opportunistic Small Cap Value Strategy and Small Cap Growth Strategy, pursuant to which NIMNA may use the investment advisory personnel, resources and capabilities available at its sister company, NIM, in providing the day-to-day management of the applicable funds’ investments; and (viii) the Sub-Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund, pursuant to which NIM may use the investment advisory personnel, resources and capabilities available at its sister company, NIMNA, in providing the day-to-day management of the fund’s investments. The Management Agreement, together with the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Sub-Investment Advisory Agreements, are referred to as the “Agreements,” Boston Partners, Geneva, NIMNA and NIM are each referred to as a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively as the “Sub-Advisers,” and BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund, BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund, BNY Mellon International Fund, and BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund are referred to collectively as the “Sub-Advised Funds.” The Bank of New York Mellon has entered into a Sub-Administration Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which The Bank of New York Mellon pays the Adviser for performing certain of the administrative services referenced above. The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust, were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers. In considering the renewal of the Agreements, the Board considered several factors that it believed to be relevant, including those discussed below. The Board did not identify any one factor as dispositive, and each Board member may have attributed different weights to the factors considered.
Analysis of Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided to the Funds. The Board considered information provided to it at the meeting and in previous presentations from representatives of the Adviser regarding the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the funds in the Trust, including the funds. The Adviser provided the number of open accounts in each fund, each fund’s asset size and the allocation of fund assets among distribution channels. The Adviser also had previously provided information regarding the distribution channel(s) of the funds and the need to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each distribution channel, as applicable to each fund.
The Board also considered research support available to, and portfolio management capabilities of, each fund’s portfolio management personnel and that the Adviser also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements. The Board also considered the Adviser’s extensive administrative, accounting and compliance infrastructures, as well as, for the Sub-Advised Funds, the Adviser’s supervisory activities over the Sub-Adviser(s). The Board also considered portfolio management’s brokerage policies and practices (including policies and practices regarding soft dollars) and the standards applied in seeking best execution.
Comparative Analysis of the Funds’ Performance and Management Fees and Expense Ratios. For each fund, the Board reviewed reports prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data based on classifications provided by Thomson Reuters Lipper (“Lipper”), which included information comparing (1) the performance of the fund’s Class M shares with the performance of a group of institutional funds selected by Broadridge as
98
comparable to the fund (the “Performance Group”) and with a broader group of funds consisting of all retail and institutional funds in the particular Lipper classification (the “Performance Universe”), all for various periods ended December 31, 2023, and (2) the fund’s actual and contractual management fees and total expenses with those of the same group of funds in the Performance Group (the “Expense Group”) and with a broader group of funds consisting of all institutional funds in the particular Lipper classification, excluding outliers (the “Expense Universe”). At the Adviser’s request, the Board also reviewed reports prepared by Broadridge with respect to BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund, a “fund of funds,” which included information comparing (1) the performance of the fund’s Class M shares with the performance of a group of funds of funds selected by Broadridge as comparable to the fund (the “Funds of Funds Performance Group”), all for various periods ended December 31, 2023, and (2) the fund’s actual and contractual management fees and total expenses with those of the same group of funds in the Funds of Funds Performance Group (the “Funds of Funds Expense Group”) and with a broader group of funds consisting of the funds in the Funds of Funds Expense Group and Funds of Funds in the fund’s Expense Universe (the “Funds of Funds Expense Universe”). The information for each comparison was derived, in part, from fund financial statements available to Broadridge as of the date of its analysis. The Adviser previously had furnished the Board with a description of the methodology Broadridge used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe and the Expense Group and Expense Universe and representatives of the Adviser informed the Board of the methodology Broadridge used to select the funds in the Funds of Funds Performance Group and the Funds of Funds Expense Group and the funds in the Funds of Funds Expense Universe.
Performance Comparisons. Representatives of the Adviser stated that the usefulness of performance comparisons may be affected by a number of factors, including different investment limitations and policies that may be applicable to each fund and comparison funds and the end date selected. The Board also considered the funds’ performance in light of overall financial market conditions.
Management Fee and Expense Ratio Comparisons. For each fund, the Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee rate (i.e., the aggregate of the investment advisory and administration fees pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement) payable by the fund to the Adviser in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, respectively. In addition, the Board reviewed and considered the actual management fee rate paid by the fund over the fund’s last fiscal year, which included any reductions for an expense limitation arrangement in place that reduced the management fee paid to the Adviser. The Board also reviewed the range of actual and contractual management fees and total expenses as a percentage of average net assets of the Expense Group and Expense Universe funds and discussed the results of the comparisons.
For the Sub-Advised Funds, the Board considered the fee payable to the Sub-Adviser(s) in relation to the fee payable to the Adviser by the fund and the respective services provided by the Sub-Adviser(s) and the Adviser. The Board also took into consideration that each Sub-Adviser’s fee is paid by the Adviser, out of its fee from the relevant fund, and not the fund.
For each of BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund and BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund, representatives of the Adviser reviewed with the Board the management or advisory fees paid by any funds advised by the Adviser in the same Lipper category as the fund (the “Similar Fund(s)”) and explained the nature of the Similar Fund(s). They discussed differences in fees paid and the relationship of the fees paid in light of any differences in the services provided and other relevant factors. For each such fund, the Board considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Fund(s) to evaluate the appropriateness of the fund’s management fee. For each such fund, representatives of the Adviser noted that there were no separate accounts and/or other types of client portfolios advised by the Adviser or, for the Sub-Advised Funds, the Sub-Adviser(s), that are considered to have similar investment strategies and policies as the fund.
For each of BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund and BNY Mellon International Fund, representatives of the Adviser reviewed with the Board the management or advisory fees (1) paid by any Similar Fund(s) and (2) paid to the Adviser or its affiliates or, for the Sub-Advised Funds, the Sub-Adviser(s), for advising the one or more separate accounts and/or other types of client portfolios that are considered to have similar investment strategies and policies as the fund (together with the Similar Funds, the “Similar Clients”), and explained the nature of the Similar Clients. They discussed differences in fees paid and the relationship of the fees paid in light of any differences in the services provided and other relevant factors. For each such fund, the Board considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Clients to evaluate the appropriateness of the fund’s management fee.
99
BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund
The information comparing the fund’s performance to that of its Performance Group and Performance Universe consisted of funds classified as mixed-asset target allocation growth funds by Lipper and to that of its Funds of Funds Performance Group consisted of funds classified as mixed-asset target allocation growth funds of funds.
The Board discussed with representatives of the Adviser the results of the performance comparisons and considered that the fund’s total return performance was below the Performance Group median for all periods, except for the one- and four-year periods when the fund’s total return performance was above or at the Performance Group median, respectively, and was below the Performance Universe median for all periods, except for the four-year period when the fund’s total return performance was above the Performance Universe median. The Board also considered that the fund’s total return performance was below the Funds of Funds Performance Group median for the one-year period, at the Funds of Funds Performance Group median for the two- and three-year periods, and above the Funds of Funds Performance Group median for the four-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board also reviewed performance attribution information relating to each fund strategy to which fund assets were allocated and the managers and underlying funds responsible for the strategy compared to the strategy’s benchmark index for the one-year period ended December 31, 2023, which showed that eight out of the sixteen managers/underlying funds in the strategies to which fund assets were allocated performed better than the respective benchmark index. The Adviser also provided a comparison of the fund’s calendar year total returns to the returns of the fund’s benchmark index, and it was noted that the fund’s returns were above the returns of the index in seven of the ten calendar years shown. The Board noted that the fund had a four-star rating from Morningstar for the five-year period based on Morningstar’s risk-adjusted return measure.
The Board considered that the fund invests a portion of its assets in underlying mutual funds (“Acquired Funds”) and that the fund’s pro rata share of the expenses of the Acquired Funds was included in the fund’s total expenses used to determine its rankings in the Expense Group, Expense Universe (even though not all other funds in the Expense Group and Expense Universe invest in underlying funds), Funds of Funds Expense Group and Funds of Funds Expense Universe. Moreover, unlike most funds in the Funds of Funds Expense Group and Funds of Funds Expense Universe, the fund may invest directly in equity securities and fixed-income securities and money market instruments. The Board considered that the fund’s contractual management fee was lower than the Expense Group median and higher than the Funds of Funds Expense Group median contractual management fee; the fund’s actual management fee was lower than the Expense Group median and Expense Universe median actual management fee (lowest in the Expense Group) and higher than the Funds of Funds Expense Group median and the Funds of Funds Expense Universe median actual management fee; and the fund’s total expenses were higher than the Expense Group median and the Expense Universe median total expenses (lower without Acquired Fund expenses) and higher than the Funds of Funds Expense Group median and the Funds of Funds Expense Universe median total expenses (including Acquired Fund expenses). The Board determined that the fee payable by the fund pursuant to the Management Agreement was based on services provided that were in addition to, rather than duplicative of, the services provided under the advisory contracts of the Acquired Funds in which the fund invested.
Representatives of the Adviser stated that the Adviser has contractually agreed, until December 29, 2024, to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the expenses of the fund so that the total annual fund operating expenses of neither class of fund shares (including indirect fees and expenses of the underlying funds, but excluding shareholder services fees, taxes, interest expense, brokerage commissions, commitment fees on borrowings and extraordinary expenses) exceed .87% of the fund’s average daily net assets.

The Board noted that the fund had a five-star rating from Morningstar for the three-year period based on Morningstar’s risk-adjusted return measure. It was noted that the Performance Group and Performance Universe were comprised of mid-cap growth funds, whereas the fund allocates its assets among multiple investment strategies which include mid-cap growth, value and core investment strategies. Management confirmed that the fund continued to apply consistent investment strategies and performed in a manner management expected under then-current market conditions.

The information comparing the fund’s performance to that of its Performance Group and Performance Universe consisted of funds classified as emerging markets funds by Lipper.
The Board discussed with representatives of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser the results of the performance comparisons and considered that the fund’s total return performance was below the Performance Group median and Performance Universe median for all periods, except for the three-year period when the fund’s total return performance was at the Performance Group median and the three-, four- and five-year periods when the fund’s total return performance was above the Performance Group median.

Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. Representatives of the Adviser reviewed the expenses allocated and profit received by the Adviser and its affiliates and the resulting profitability percentage for managing each fund and the aggregate profitability percentage to the Adviser and its affiliates for managing the funds in the BNY Mellon fund complex, and the method used to determine the expenses and profit. The Board concluded that the profitability results were not excessive, given the services rendered and service levels provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to each fund. The Board also considered the expense limitation arrangements for certain funds and the effect each such arrangement had on the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also had been provided with information prepared by an independent consulting firm regarding the Adviser’s approach to allocating costs to, and determining the profitability of, individual funds and the entire BNY Mellon fund complex. The consulting firm also had analyzed where any economies of scale might emerge in connection with the management of a fund.
102
As to each fund, the Board considered, on the advice of its counsel, the profitability analysis (1) as part of its evaluation of whether the fees under the Agreements, considered in relation to the mix of services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser(s), including the nature, extent and quality of such services, supported the renewal of the Agreements and (2) in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders. Since the Adviser, and not the fund, pays each Sub-Adviser pursuant to the respective Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board did not consider the Sub-Adviser’s profitability to be relevant to its deliberations. Representatives of the Adviser stated that a discussion of economies of scale is predicated on a fund having achieved a substantial size with increasing assets and that, if a fund’s assets had been stable or decreasing, the possibility that the Adviser may have realized any economies of scale would be less. Representatives of the Adviser also stated that, as a result of shared and allocated costs among funds in the BNY Mellon fund complex, the extent of economies of scale could depend substantially on the level of assets in the complex as a whole, so that increases and decreases in complex-wide assets can affect potential economies of scale in a manner that is disproportionate to, or even in the opposite direction from, changes in the fund’s asset level. The Board also considered potential benefits to the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers from acting as investment adviser and sub-investment adviser, respectively, and took into consideration the soft dollar arrangements in effect for trading certain fund’s investments.
At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to the renewal of the Agreements. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board concluded and determined as follows.
· The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to each fund, and by the Sub-Adviser to the applicable Sub-Advised Fund, are adequate and appropriate.
· With respect to BNY Mellon Mid Cap Multi-Strategy Fund and BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, the Board was satisfied with the manner in which the Adviser monitors and evaluates the performance of each Sub-Adviser and with each fund’s long-term performance.
· With respect to BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund, BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund, BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund and BNY Mellon International Fund, the Board determined each fund’s overall performance was satisfactory in light of the totality of the information presented.
· With respect to each fund, as applicable, the Board concluded that the fees paid to the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers continued to be appropriate under the circumstances and in light of the factors and the totality of the services provided as discussed above.
· The Board determined that the fees charged by the Adviser under the Management Agreement with respect BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund were for services in addition to, and not duplicative of, services provided under the advisory contracts of the Acquired Funds in which the fund invested.
· The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the management of the funds had been adequately considered by the Adviser in connection with the fee rate charged to each fund pursuant to the Management Agreement and that, to the extent in the future it were determined that material economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund.
In evaluating the respective Agreement with respect to each fund, the Board considered these conclusions and determinations and also relied on its previous knowledge, gained through meetings and other interactions with the Adviser and its affiliates and the Sub-Advisers, of the Adviser (and, for the Sub-Advised Funds, the Sub-Adviser(s)) and the services provided to the fund pursuant to the respective Agreement. The Board also relied on information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year relating to the operations of the funds and the investment management and other services provided under the respective Agreement, including information on the investment performance of each fund in comparison to similar mutual funds and benchmark performance indices; general market outlook as applicable to each fund; and compliance reports. In addition, the Board’s consideration of the contractual fee arrangements for each fund had the benefit of a number of years of reviews of the Agreements, during which lengthy discussions took place between the Board and representatives of the Adviser. Certain aspects of the arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than in others, and the Board’s conclusions may be based, in part, on its consideration of the
103
respective fund’s arrangements, or substantially similar arrangements for the other funds in the Trust, in prior years. The Board determined to renew the Agreement(s) for each fund.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The following tables describe the performance for each share class of each fund for the fiscal periods indicated. All information (except portfolio turnover) reflects financial results for a single fund share. Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, and redemption at net asset value on the last day of the period. Net asset value total return includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
BNY Mellon Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust that is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company, operates as a series company currently consisting of seventeen series, including the following diversified funds: BNY Mellon Bond Fund, BNY Mellon Intermediate Bond Fund, BNY Mellon Corporate Bond Fund and BNY Mellon Short-Term U.S. Government Securities Fund (each, a “fund” and collectively, the “funds”). The objectives of the funds are as follows: BNY Mellon Bond Fund, BNY Mellon Intermediate Bond Fund and BNY Mellon Corporate Bond Fund seek total return (consisting of capital appreciation and current income). BNY Mellon Short-Term U.S. Government Securities Fund seeks to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital.
BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY”), serves as each fund’s investment adviser. The Bank of New York Mellon serves as administrator for the funds pursuant to an Administration Agreement with the Trust (the “Administration Agreement”). The Bank of New York Mellon has entered into a Sub-Administration Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which BNY pays the Adviser for performing certain administrative services.
BNY Mellon Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is the distributor of each fund’s shares, which are sold without a sales charge. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class M and Investor. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to the Shareholder Service Plan and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs, and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Each fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the FASB ASC Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. Each fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The funds do not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.
(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
37
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value each fund’s investments are as follows:
The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has designated the Adviser as each fund’s valuation designee to make all fair value determinations with respect to each fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight and pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act.
Investments in debt securities excluding short-term investments (other than U.S. Treasury Bills) are valued each business day by one or more independent pricing services (each, a “Service”) approved by the Board. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of a Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by a Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by a Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Securities are valued as determined by a Service, based on methods which include consideration of the following: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. The Services are engaged under the general supervision of the Board. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Each relevant fund: Investments in equity securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. For open short positions, asked prices are used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value. All of the preceding securities are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a Service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant American Depository Receipts and futures. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the funds calculate their net asset value, the funds may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.
For securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following below summarizes the inputs used as of August 31, 2024 in valuing each fund’s investments:

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with BNY, the funds may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the funds’ policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Adviser, or U.S. Government and Agency securities. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold or re-pledged by the funds, except in the event of borrower default. The securities on loan, if any, are also disclosed in each fund’s Statements of Investments. The funds are entitled to receive all dividends, interest and distributions on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner, BNY is required to replace the securities for the benefit of the funds or credit the funds with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the funds’ rights against the borrower and the collateral. Additionally, the contractual maturity of security lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. Table 1 summarizes the amount BNY earned from each relevant fund from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement during the period ended August 31, 2024.

For financial reporting purposes, each relevant fund elects not to offset assets and liabilities subject to a securities lending agreement, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Therefore, all qualifying transactions are presented on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of August 31, 2024, each relevant fund had securities lending and the impact of netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received, if any, based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the securities lending agreement are detailed in the following tables:

(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Adviser are defined as “affiliated” under the Act.
(d) Market Risk: The value of the securities in which each fund invests may be affected by political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed-income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect each fund. Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected,
41
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies world-wide.
Government Securities Risk: Not all obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. Some obligations are backed only by the credit of the issuing agency or instrumentality, and in some cases there may be some risk of default by the issuer. Any guarantee by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities of a security held by the fund does not apply to the market value of such security or to shares of the fund itself.
Mortgage-Related Securities Risk: Mortgage-related securities are complex derivative instruments, subject to credit, prepayment and extension risk, and may be more volatile, less liquid and more difficult to price accurately than more traditional debt securities. The fund is subject to the credit risk associated with these securities, including the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuing federal agency, as well as the credit quality of the underlying assets. Although certain mortgage-related securities are guaranteed as to the timely payment of interest and principal by a third party (such as a U.S. government agency or instrumentality with respect to government-related mortgage securities) the market prices for such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate. As with other interest-bearing securities, the prices of certain mortgage-related securities are inversely affected by changes in interest rates. However, although the value of a mortgage-related security may decline when interest rates rise, the converse is not necessarily true, since in periods of declining interest rates the mortgages underlying the security are more likely to be prepaid causing the fund to purchase new securities at current market rates, which usually will be lower. The loss of higher yielding underlying mortgages and the reinvestment of proceeds at lower interest rates, known as prepayment risk, can reduce the fund’s potential price gain in response to falling interest rates, reduce the fund’s yield and/or cause the fund’s share price to fall. When interest rates rise, the effective duration of the fund’s mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities may lengthen due to a drop in prepayments of the underlying mortgages or other assets. This is known as extension risk and would increase the fund’s sensitivity to rising interest rates and its potential for price declines.
Short-Term Trading Risk: At times, the fund may engage in short-term trading, which could produce higher transaction costs and taxable distributions and lower the fund’s after-tax performance.
Fixed-Income Market Risk: The market value of a fixed-income security may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity. Liquidity can decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity may be caused by a rise in interest rates (or the expectation of a rise in interest rates). An unexpected increase in fund redemption requests, including requests from shareholders who may own a significant percentage of the funds’ shares, which may be triggered by market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, could cause the funds to sell its holdings at a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely affect the funds’ share price and increase the funds’ liquidity risk, fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. Federal Reserve policy in response to market conditions, including with respect to interest rates, may adversely affect the value, volatility and liquidity of dividend and interest paying securities. Policy and legislative changes worldwide are affecting many aspects of financial regulation. The impact of these changes on the markets and the practical implications for market participants may not be fully known for some time.
Interest Rate Risk: Prices of bonds and other fixed rate fixed-income securities tend to move inversely with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in rates will adversely affect fixed-income securities and, accordingly, will cause the value of each fund’s investments in these securities to decline. Interest rates in the United States have recently been rising. A wide variety of market factors can cause interest rates to rise, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation and changes in general economic conditions. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase (or decrease) interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such changes. During periods of very low interest rates, which occur from time to time due to market forces or actions of governments and/or their central banks, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in the U.S., each fund may be subject to a greater risk of principal decline from rising interest rates. When interest rates fall, each fund’s investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce each fund’s income. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from fund performance. The magnitude of these fluctuations in the market price of fixed-income securities is generally greater for securities with longer effective maturities and durations because such instruments do not mature, reset interest rates or become callable for longer periods of time.
(e) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Dividends and distributions payable to shareholders are recorded by each fund on the ex-dividend date. The funds normally declare and pay dividends from net investment income monthly. Dividends from net
42
realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but each fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers of a fund, it is the policy of each fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(f) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of each fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes. For federal income tax purposes, each fund is treated as a separate entity for the purpose of determining such qualification.
As of and during the period ended August 31, 2024, the funds did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. Each fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended August 31, 2024, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the four-year period ended August 31, 2024 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:
The funds participate with other long-term open-end funds managed by the Adviser in a $738 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. (the “Citibank Credit Facility”) and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by BNY (the “BNY Credit Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions (each, a “Facility”). The Citibank Credit Facility is available in two tranches: (i) Tranche A is in an amount equal to $618 million and is available to all long-term open-ended funds, including the funds, and (ii) Tranche B is in amount equal to $120 million and is available only to the BNY Mellon Floating Rate Income Fund, a series of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc. Prior to September 27, 2023, the Citibank Credit Facility was $823.5 million with Tranche A available in an amount equal to $688.5 million and Tranche B available in an amount equal to $135 million. In connection therewith, each fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for Tranche A of the Citibank Credit Facility and the BNY Credit Facility. Interest is charged to the funds based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended August 31, 2024, the funds did not borrow under either Facility.
NOTE 3—Management Fee, Administration Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser, the management fee is payable monthly and computed on the average daily value of each fund’s net assets at the following annual rates: .40% of BNY Mellon Bond Fund, .40% of BNY Mellon Intermediate Bond Fund, ..40% of BNY Mellon Corporate Bond Fund and .35% of BNY Mellon Short-Term U.S. Government Securities Fund.
For BNY Mellon Short-Term U.S. Government Securities Fund, the Adviser has contractually agreed, from September 1, 2023 through December 29, 2024, to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the direct expenses of the fund so that the direct expenses of neither class of fund shares (excluding Shareholder Services Plan fees, taxes, interest expense, brokerage commissions, commitment fees on borrowings and extraordinary expenses) exceed .50% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. On or after December 29, 2024, the Adviser may terminate this expense limitation agreement at any time. The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $154,289 during the period ended August 31, 2024.
Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, The Bank of New York Mellon provides or arranges for fund accounting, transfer agency and other fund administration services and receives a fee based on the total net assets of the Trust based on the following rates:
0 up to $6 billion .15%
$6 billion up to $12 billion .12%
In excess of $12 billion .10%
(b) Each fund has adopted a Shareholder Services Plan with respect to its Investor shares. Each fund pays the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of its Investor shares average daily net assets for the provision of certain services. The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding a fund, and services related to the maintenance of such shareholder accounts. The Shareholder Services Plan allows the Distributor to make payments from the shareholder services fees it collects from each fund to compensate service agents (certain banks, securities brokers or dealers and other financial institutions) with respect to these services. Table 5 summarizes the amounts Investor shares were charged during the period ended August 31, 2024, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statements of Operations.

The funds have an arrangement with BNY Mellon Transfer, Inc., (the “Transfer Agent”), a subsidiary of BNY and an affiliate of the Adviser, whereby the funds may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset Transfer Agent fees. For financial reporting purposes, the funds include net earnings credits, if any, as an expense offset in the Statements of Operations.

The funds have an arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”), a subsidiary of BNY and an affiliate of the Adviser, whereby the funds will receive interest income or be charged overdraft fees when cash balances are maintained. For financial reporting purposes, the funds include this interest income and overdraft fees, if any, as interest income in the Statements of Operations.
Each fund compensates the Transfer Agent, under a transfer agency agreement, for providing cash management services for the funds. The Transfer Agent fees are comprised of amounts paid on cash management fees which are related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. BNY pays each fund’s Transfer Agent fees comprised of amounts paid on a per account basis out of the administration fee it receives from the Trust. These fees, if any, are included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations. These fees were partially offset by earnings credits for each fund, also summarized in Table 6.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of the Funds and Board of Trustees of
BNY Mellon Funds Trust:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of BNY Mellon Bond Fund, BNY Mellon Intermediate Bond Fund, BNY Mellon Corporate Bond Fund and BNY Mellon Short-Term U.S. Government Securities Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), each a series of BNY Mellon Funds Trust, including the statements of investments as of August 31, 2024, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of August 31, 2024, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. investment companies since 1994.

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract. (Unaudited)
At a meeting of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) held on March 18-19, 2024, the Board considered the renewal of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement, pursuant to which the Adviser provides the funds with investment advisory services and The Bank of New York Mellon is responsible for the provision of administrative services to the funds (together, the “Agreement”). The Bank of New York Mellon has entered into a Sub-Administration Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which The Bank of New York Mellon pays the Adviser for performing certain of the administrative services. The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust, were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Adviser. In considering the renewal of the Agreement, the Board considered several factors that it believed to be relevant, including those discussed below. The Board did not identify any one factor as dispositive, and each Board member may have attributed different weights to the factors considered.
Analysis of Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided to the Funds. The Board considered information provided to it at the meeting and in previous presentations from representatives of the Adviser regarding the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the funds in the Trust, including the funds. The Adviser provided the number of open accounts in each fund, each fund’s asset size and the allocation of fund assets among distribution channels. The Adviser also had previously provided information regarding the distribution channel(s) of the funds and the need to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each distribution channel, as applicable to each fund.
The Board also considered research support available to, and portfolio management capabilities of, each fund’s portfolio management personnel and that the Adviser also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements. The Board also considered the Adviser’s extensive administrative, accounting and compliance infrastructures.
Comparative Analysis of the Funds’ Performance and Management Fees and Expense Ratios. For each fund, the Board reviewed reports prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data based on classifications provided by Thomson Reuters Lipper (“Lipper”), which included information comparing (1) the performance of the fund’s Class M shares with the performance of a group of institutional funds selected by Broadridge as comparable to the fund (the “Performance Group”) and with a broader group of funds consisting of all retail and institutional funds in the particular Lipper classification (the “Performance Universe”), all for various periods ended December 31, 2023, and (2) the fund’s actual and contractual management fees and total expenses with those of the same group of funds in the Performance Group (the “Expense Group”) and with a broader group of funds consisting of all institutional funds in the particular Lipper classification, excluding outliers (the “Expense Universe”). The information for each comparison was derived, in part, from fund financial statements available to Broadridge as of the date of its analysis. The Adviser previously had furnished the Board with a description of the methodology Broadridge used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe and the Expense Group and Expense Universe.
Performance Comparisons. Representatives of the Adviser stated that the usefulness of performance comparisons may be affected by a number of factors, including different investment limitations and policies that may be applicable to each fund and comparison funds and the end date selected. The Board also considered the funds’ performance in light of overall financial market conditions.
Management Fee and Expense Ratio Comparisons. For each fund, the Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee rate (i.e., the aggregate of the investment advisory and administration fees pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement) payable by the fund to the Adviser in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management services provided by the Adviser. In addition, the Board reviewed and considered the actual management fee rate paid by the fund over the fund’s last fiscal year, which included any reductions for an expense limitation arrangement in place that reduced the management fee paid to the Adviser. The Board also reviewed the range of actual and contractual management fees and total expenses as a percentage of average net assets of the Expense Group and Expense Universe funds and discussed the results of the comparisons.
For BNY Mellon Bond Fund, representatives of the Adviser reviewed with the Board the management or advisory fees paid by any funds advised by the Adviser in the same Lipper category as the fund (the “Similar Fund(s)”) and explained the nature of the Similar Fund(s). They discussed differences in fees paid and the relationship of the fees paid in light of any differences in the services provided and other relevant factors. The Board considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Fund(s) to evaluate the appropriateness of the fund’s management fee. As to each other fund, representatives of the Adviser noted that there were no Similar Fund(s).
52
As to each fund, representatives of the Adviser noted that there were no separate accounts and/or other types of client portfolios advised by the Adviser that are considered to have similar investment strategies and policies as the fund.
BNY Mellon Bond Fund
The information comparing the fund’s performance to that of its Performance Group and Performance Universe consisted of funds classified as core bond funds by Lipper.
The Board discussed with representatives of the Adviser the results of the performance comparisons and considered that the fund’s total return performance was below the Performance Group median for all periods, except for the two- and three-year periods when the fund’s total return performance was above the Performance Group median, and was below the Performance Universe median for all periods. The Board also considered that the fund’s yield performance was at or above the Performance Group median for six of the ten one-year periods ended December 31st and above the Performance Universe median for all ten one-year periods ended December 31st. The Adviser also provided a comparison of the fund’s calendar year total returns to the returns of the fund’s benchmark index, and it was noted that the fund’s returns were above the returns of the index in five of the ten calendar years shown. The Board considered the relative proximity of the fund’s total return performance and yield performance to the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians and benchmark index returns during the periods under review.
The Board considered that the fund’s contractual management fee was higher than the Expense Group median contractual management fee, the fund’s actual management fee was higher than the Expense Group median and Expense Universe median actual management fee, and the fund’s total expense were higher than the Expense Group median and Expense Universe median total expenses.

The Board also considered that the fund’s yield performance was at or above the Performance Group median for five of the ten one-year periods ended December 31st and above the Performance Universe median for seven of the ten one-year periods ended December 31st. The Adviser also provided a comparison of the fund’s calendar year total returns to the returns of the fund’s benchmark index, and it was noted that the fund’s returns were above the returns of the index in three of the ten calendar years shown. The Board considered the relative proximity of the fund’s total return performance and yield performance to the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians and benchmark index returns during the periods under review.
The Board considered that the fund’s contractual management fee was higher than the Expense Group median contractual management fee, the fund’s actual management fee was higher than the Expense Group median and Expense Universe median actual management fee, and the fund’s total expenses were higher than the Expense Group median and Expense Universe median total expenses.
BNY Mellon Corporate Bond Fund
The information comparing the fund’s performance to that of its Performance Group and Performance Universe consisted of funds classified as BBB-rated corporate debt funds by Lipper.
The Board discussed with representatives of the Adviser the results of the performance comparisons and considered that the fund’s total return performance was above the Performance Group median and Performance Universe median for all periods. The Board also considered that the fund’s yield performance was at or above the Performance Group medians for eight out of the ten one-year periods ended December 31st and above the Performance Universe medians for nine of the ten one-year periods ended December 31st. The Adviser also provided a comparison of the fund’s calendar year total returns to the returns of the fund’s benchmark index, and it was noted that the fund’s returns were above the returns of the index in six of the nine calendar years shown. The Board also noted that the fund had a five-star rating for each of the three-, five- and ten-year periods and a five-star overall rating from Morningstar based on Morningstar’s risk-adjusted return measures.
53
The Board considered that the fund’s contractual management fee was higher than the Expense Group median contractual management fee, the fund’s actual management fee was higher than the Expense Group median and Expense Universe median actual management fee, and the fund’s total expenses were higher than the Expense Group median and Expense Universe median total expenses.
BNY Mellon Short-Term U.S. Government Securities Fund
The information comparing the fund’s performance to that of its Performance Group and Performance Universe consisted of funds classified as short U.S. government funds by Lipper.
The Board discussed with representatives of the Adviser the results of the performance comparisons and considered that the fund’s total return performance was at or above the Performance Group and above the Performance Universe medians for all periods, except for the one- and ten-year period where the fund’s total performance was slightly below the Performance Group median. The Board also considered that the fund’s yield performance was at or above the Performance Group median for four of the ten one-year periods ended December 31st and above the Performance Universe median for seven of the ten one-year periods ended December 31st. The Adviser also provided a comparison of the fund’s calendar year total returns to the returns of the fund’s benchmark index, and it was noted that the fund’s returns were above the returns of the index in one of the ten calendar years shown. The Board considered the relative proximity of the fund’s total return performance and yield performance to the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians and benchmark index returns during certain periods under review. The Board also noted that the fund had a four-star rating from Morningstar for the three-year period based on Morningstar’s risk-adjusted return measures.

Representatives of the Adviser stated that the Adviser has contractually agreed, until December 29, 2024 to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the direct expenses of the fund so that the direct expenses of neither class of fund shares (excluding shareholder services fees, taxes, interest expense, brokerage commissions, commitment fees on borrowings and extraordinary expenses) exceed .50% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. Representatives of the Adviser reviewed the expenses allocated and profit received by the Adviser and its affiliates and the resulting profitability percentage for managing each fund and the aggregate profitability percentage to the Adviser and its affiliates for managing the funds in the BNY Mellon fund complex, and the method used to determine the expenses and profit. The Board concluded that the profitability results were not excessive, given the services rendered and service levels provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to each fund. The Board also considered the expense limitation arrangement for BNY Mellon Short-Term U.S. Government Securities Fund and the effect such arrangement had on the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also had been provided with information prepared by an independent consulting firm regarding the Adviser’s approach to allocating costs to, and determining the profitability of, individual funds and the entire BNY Mellon fund complex. The consulting firm also had analyzed where any economies of scale might emerge in connection with the management of a fund.
As to each fund, the Board considered, on the advice of its counsel, the profitability analysis (1) as part of its evaluation of whether the fees under the Agreement, considered in relation to the mix of services provided by the Adviser, including the nature, extent and quality of such services, supported the renewal of the Agreement and (2) in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders. Representatives of the Adviser stated that a discussion of economies of scale is predicated on a fund having achieved a substantial size with increasing assets and that, if a fund’s assets had been stable or decreasing, the possibility that the Adviser may have realized any economies of scale would be less. Representatives of the Adviser also stated that, as a result of shared and allocated costs among funds in the BNY Mellon fund complex, the extent of economies of scale could depend substantially on the level of assets in the complex as a whole, so that increases and decreases in complex-wide assets can affect potential economies of scale in a manner that is disproportionate to, or even in the opposite direction from, changes in the fund’s asset level. The Board also considered potential benefits to the Adviser from acting as investment adviser and took into consideration that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect for trading the funds’ investments.
54
At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to the renewal of the Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board concluded and determined as follows.
· The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to each fund are adequate and appropriate.
· With respect to BNY Mellon Bond Fund, and BNY Mellon Intermediate Bond Fund, the Board determined each fund’s overall performance was satisfactory in light of the totality of the information presented.
· With respect to BNY Mellon Corporate Bond Fund and BNY Mellon Short-Term U.S. Government Securities Fund, the Board was satisfied with the fund’s performance.
· With respect to each fund, the Board concluded that the fees paid pursuant to the Agreement continued to be appropriate under the circumstances and in light of the factors and the totality of the services provided as discussed above.
· The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the management of the funds had been adequately considered by the Adviser in connection with the fee rate charged to each fund pursuant to the Agreement and that, to the extent in the future it were determined that material economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund.
In evaluating the Agreement with respect to each fund, the Board considered these conclusions and determinations and also relied on its previous knowledge, gained through meetings and other interactions with the Adviser and its affiliates, of the Adviser and the services provided to the fund pursuant to the Agreement. The Board also relied on information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year relating to the operations of the funds and the investment management and other services provided under the Agreement, including information on the investment performance of each fund in comparison to similar mutual funds and benchmark performance indices; general market outlook as applicable to each fund; and compliance reports. In addition, the Board’s consideration of the contractual fee arrangements for each fund had the benefit of a number of years of reviews of the Agreement for the funds, during which lengthy discussions took place between the Board and representatives of the Adviser. Certain aspects of the arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than in others, and the Board’s conclusions may be based, in part, on its consideration of the respective fund’s arrangements, or substantially similar arrangements for the other funds in the Trust, in prior years. The Board determined to renew the Agreement for each fund.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The following tables describe the performance for each share class of each fund for the fiscal periods indicated. All information (except portfolio turnover rate) reflects financial results for a single fund share. Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, and redemption at net asset value on the last day of the period. Net asset value total return includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
BNY Mellon Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust that is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company, operates as a series company currently consisting of seventeen series, including the following diversified funds: BNY Mellon National Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, BNY Mellon National Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund, BNY Mellon Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, BNY Mellon Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, BNY Mellon New York Intermediate Tax-Exempt Bond Fund and BNY Mellon Municipal Opportunities Fund (each, a “fund” and collectively, the “funds”). The objectives of the funds are as follows: BNY Mellon National Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund and BNY Mellon National Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund seek to maximize current income exempt from federal income tax to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital. BNY Mellon Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund seeks as high a level of current income exempt from federal and Pennsylvania state income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital. BNY Mellon Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund seeks as high a level of income exempt from federal and Massachusetts state income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital. BNY Mellon New York Intermediate Tax-Exempt Bond Fund seeks as high a level of income exempt from federal, New York state and New York city income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital. BNY Mellon Municipal Opportunities Fund seeks to maximize total return consisting of high current income exempt from federal income tax and capital appreciation.
BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY”), serves as each fund’s investment adviser. The Bank of New York Mellon serves as administrator for the funds pursuant to an Administration Agreement with the Trust (the “Administration Agreement”). The Bank of New York Mellon has entered into a Sub-Administration Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which BNY pays the Adviser for performing certain administrative services.
BNY Mellon Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is the distributor of each fund’s shares, which are sold without a sales charge. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class M and Investor. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to the Shareholder Service Plan and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Each fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the FASB ASC Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. Each fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The funds do not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.
(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
101
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value each fund’s investments are as follows:
The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has designated the Adviser as each fund’s valuation designee to make all fair value determinations with respect to each fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight and pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act.
Investments in municipal securities and futures are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Municipal investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of the following: yields or prices of municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. The Service is engaged under the general oversight of the Board. All of the preceding securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the funds calculate their net asset value, the funds may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.
For securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Futures are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day and are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following below summarizes the inputs used as of August 31, 2024 in valuing each fund’s investments:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.
BNY Mellon Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, BNY Mellon Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund and BNY Mellon New York Intermediate Tax-Exempt Bond Fund each follow an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the funds.
(c) Market Risk: The value of the securities in which each fund invests may be affected by political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed-income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect each fund. Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies world-wide.
Municipal Securities Risk: The amount of public information available about municipal securities is generally less than that for corporate equities or bonds. Special factors, such as legislative changes, and state and local economic and business developments, may adversely affect the yield and/or value of the funds’ investments in municipal securities. Other factors include the general conditions of the municipal securities market, the size of the particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and the rating of the issue. Changes in economic, business or political conditions relating to a particular municipal project, municipality, or state, territory or possession of the United States in which each fund invests may have an impact on the funds’ share price. Any such credit impairment could adversely impact the value of their bonds, which could negatively impact the performance of the fund.
Interest Rate Risk: Prices of bonds and other fixed rate fixed-income securities tend to move inversely with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in rates will adversely affect fixed-income securities and, accordingly, will cause the value of each fund’s investments in these securities to decline. Interest rates in the United States have recently been rising. A wide variety of market factors can cause interest rates to rise, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation and changes in general economic conditions. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase (or decrease) interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such changes. During periods of very low interest rates, which occur from time to time due to market forces or actions of governments and/or their central banks, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in the U.S., each fund may be subject to a greater risk of principal decline from rising interest rates. When interest rates fall, each fund’s investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce each fund’s income. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from fund performance. The magnitude of these fluctuations in the market price of fixed-income securities is generally greater for securities with longer effective maturities and durations because such instruments do not mature, reset interest rates or become callable for longer periods of time.
State-Specific Risk: BNY Mellon Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund is subject to the risk that Pennsylvania’s economy, and the revenues underlying its municipal obligations, may decline. Investing primarily in the municipal obligations of a single state makes the fund more sensitive to risks specific to that state and may entail more risk than investing in the municipal obligations of multiple states as a result of potentially less diversification.
BNY Mellon Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund is subject to the risk that Massachusetts’ economy, and the revenues underlying its municipal obligations, may decline. Investing primarily in the municipal obligations of a single state makes the fund more sensitive to risks specific to that state and may entail more risk than investing in the municipal obligations of multiple states as a result of potentially less diversification.
BNY Mellon New York Intermediate Tax-Exempt Bond Fund is subject to the risk that New York’s economy, and the revenues underlying its municipal obligations, may decline. Investing primarily in the municipal obligations of a single state makes the fund more sensitive to risks specific to that state and may entail more risk than investing in the municipal obligations of multiple states as a result of potentially less diversification.
Derivatives Risk: A small investment in derivatives could have a potentially large impact on the relevant fund’s performance. The use of derivatives involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying assets, and the relevant fund’s use of derivatives may result in losses to the relevant fund. Derivatives in which the fund may invest
104
can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value, and there is the risk that changes in the value of a derivative held by the relevant fund will not correlate with the underlying assets or the relevant fund’s other investments in the manner intended. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment, and involve greater risks than the underlying assets because, in addition to general market risks, they are subject to liquidity risk, credit and counterparty risk (failure of the counterparty to the derivatives transaction to honor its obligation) and pricing risk (risk that the derivative cannot or will not be accurately valued).
(d) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: It is the policy of each fund to declare dividends daily from net investment income. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but each fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of each fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(e) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of each fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax-exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes. For federal income tax purposes, each fund is treated as a separate entity for the purpose of determining such qualification.
As of and during the period ended August 31, 2024, the funds did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. Each fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended August 31, 2024, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the four-year period ended August 31, 2024 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, each fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. Furthermore, capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:
The funds participate with other long-term open-end funds managed by the Adviser in a $738 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. (the “Citibank Credit Facility”) and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by BNY (the “BNY Credit Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions (each, a “Facility”). The Citibank Credit Facility is available in two tranches: (i) Tranche A is in an amount equal to $618 million and is available to all long-term open-ended funds, including the funds, and (ii) Tranche B is in amount equal to $120 million and is available only to the BNY Mellon Floating Rate Income Fund, a series of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc. Prior to September 27, 2023, the Citibank Credit Facility was $823.5 million with Tranche A available in an amount equal to $688.5 million and Tranche B available in an amount equal to $135 million. In connection therewith, each fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for Tranche A of the Citibank Credit Facility and the BNY Credit Facility. Interest is charged to the funds based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended August 31, 2024, the funds did not borrow under either Facility.
NOTE 3—Management Fee, Administration Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser, the management fee is payable monthly and computed on the average daily value of each fund’s net assets at the following annual rates: .35% of BNY Mellon National Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, .35% of BNY Mellon National Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund, .50% of BNY Mellon Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, .35% of BNY Mellon Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, .50% of BNY Mellon New York Intermediate Tax-Exempt Bond Fund and .50% of BNY Mellon Municipal Opportunities Fund.
For BNY Mellon National Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund, the Adviser has contractually agreed, from September 1, 2023 through December 29, 2024, to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the direct expense of the fund so that the direct expense of neither class of fund shares (excluding Shareholder Services Plan fees, taxes, interest expense, brokerage commissions, commitment fees on borrowings and extraordinary expenses) exceed .44% of the fund’s average daily net assets. On or after December 29, 2024, the Adviser may terminate this expense limitation agreement at any time. The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $445,033 during the period ended August 31, 2024.

(b) Each fund has adopted a Shareholder Services Plan with respect to its Investor shares. Each fund pays the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of its Investor shares average daily net assets for the provision of certain services. The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding a fund, and services related to the maintenance of such shareholder accounts. The Shareholder Services Plan allows the Distributor to make payments from the shareholder services fees it collects from each fund to compensate service agents (certain banks, securities brokers or dealers and other financial institutions) with respect to these services. Table 4 summarizes the amounts Investor shares were charged during the period ended August 31, 2024, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statements of Operations.

The funds have arrangements with the BNY Mellon Transfer, Inc., (the “Transfer Agent”) and The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”), both a subsidiary of BNY and an affiliate of the Adviser, whereby the funds may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset transfer agency and custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the funds include net earnings credits, if any, as expense offsets in the Statements of Operations.
Each fund compensates the Transfer Agent, under a transfer agency agreement, for providing cash management services for the funds. The Transfer Agent fees are comprised of amounts paid on cash management fees which are related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. BNY pays each fund’s Transfer Agent fees comprised of amounts paid on a per account basis out of the administration fee it receives from the Trust. These fees were partially offset by earnings credits for each fund, also summarized in Table 5.

Inverse Floater Securities: BNY Mellon Municipal Opportunities Fund participates in secondary inverse floater structures in which fixed-rate, tax-exempt municipal bonds are transferred to a trust (the “Inverse Floater Trust”). The Inverse Floater Trust typically issues two variable rate securities that are collateralized by the cash flows of the fixed-rate, tax-exempt municipal bonds. One of these variable rate securities pays interest based on a short-term floating rate set by a remarketing agent at predetermined intervals (“Trust Certificates”). A residual interest tax-exempt security is also created by the Inverse Floater Trust, which is transferred to the fund, and is paid interest based on the remaining cash flows of the Inverse Floater Trust, after payment of interest on the other securities and various expenses of the Inverse Floater Trust. An Inverse Floater Trust may be collapsed without the consent of the fund due to certain termination events such as bankruptcy, default or other credit event.
The fund accounts for the transfer of bonds to the Inverse Floater Trust as secured borrowings, with the securities transferred remaining in the fund’s investments, and the related floating rate certificate securities reflected as fund liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The fund may invest in inverse floater securities on either a non-recourse or recourse basis. These securities are typically supported by a liquidity facility provided by a bank or other financial institution (the “Liquidity Provider”) that allows the holders of the Trust Certificates to tender their certificates in exchange for payment from the Liquidity Provider of par plus accrued interest on any business day prior to a termination event. When the fund invests in inverse floater securities on a non-recourse basis, the Liquidity Provider is required to make a payment under the liquidity facility due to a termination event to the holders of the Trust Certificates. When this occurs, the Liquidity Provider typically liquidates all or a portion of the municipal securities held in the Inverse Floater Trust. A liquidation shortfall occurs if the Trust Certificates exceed the proceeds of the sale of the bonds in the Inverse Floater Trust (“Liquidation Shortfall”). When a fund invests in inverse floater securities on a recourse basis, the fund typically enters into a reimbursement agreement with the Liquidity Provider where the fund is required to repay the Liquidity Provider the amount of any Liquidation Shortfall. As a result, a fund investing in a recourse inverse floater security bears the risk of loss with respect to any Liquidation Shortfall.
The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the inverse floater structure during the period ended August 31, 2024, was approximately $15,147,445, with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 3.62%.
Derivatives: A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. 18f-4 under the Act regulates the use of derivatives transactions for certain funds registered under the Act. Each fund, with the exception of the BNY Mellon Municipal Opportunities Fund, is deemed a “limited” derivatives user under the rule and is required to limit its derivatives exposure so that the total notional value of applicable derivatives does not exceed 10% of each fund’s net assets, and is subject to certain reporting requirements.
BNY Mellon Municipal Opportunities Fund’s derivative transactions are subject to a value-at-risk leverage limit and certain reporting and other requirements pursuant to a derivatives risk management program adopted by the fund. Each type of derivative instrument that was held by each relevant fund during the period ended August 31, 2024 is discussed below.
Futures: In the normal course of pursuing their investment objective, each relevant fund exposed to market risk, including interest rate risk, as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments. The funds invest in futures in order to manage their exposure to or protect against changes in the market. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or a sale of an asset at a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, these investments require initial margin deposits with a
109
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
counterparty, which consist of cash or cash equivalents. The amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which the contract is traded and is subject to change. Accordingly, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses which are recorded in the Statements of Operations. When the contracts are closed, the funds recognize a realized gain or loss which is reflected in the Statements of Operations. There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the funds with futures since they are exchange traded, and the exchange guarantees the futures against default. Futures open at August 31, 2024 are set forth in the each relevant fund’s Statements of Investments.
Table 10 summarizes each fund’s average market value of derivatives outstanding during the period ended August 31, 2024.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract. (Unaudited)
At a meeting of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) held on March 18-19, 2024, the Board considered the renewal of the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement, pursuant to which the Adviser provides the funds with investment advisory services and The Bank of New York Mellon is responsible for the provision of administrative services to the funds (together, the “Agreement”). The Bank of New York Mellon has entered into a Sub-Administration Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which The Bank of New York Mellon pays the Adviser for performing certain of the administrative services. The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust, were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Adviser. In considering the renewal of the Agreement, the Board considered several factors that it believed to be relevant, including those discussed below. The Board did not identify any one factor as dispositive, and each Board member may have attributed different weights to the factors considered.
Analysis of Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided to the Funds. The Board considered information provided to it at the meeting and in previous presentations from representatives of the Adviser regarding the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the funds in the Trust, including the funds. The Adviser provided the number of open accounts in each fund, each fund’s asset size and the allocation of fund assets among distribution channels. The Adviser also had previously provided information regarding the distribution channel(s) of the funds and the need to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each distribution channel, as applicable to each fund.
The Board also considered research support available to, and portfolio management capabilities of, each fund’s portfolio management personnel and that the Adviser also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements. The Board also considered the Adviser’s extensive administrative, accounting and compliance infrastructures.
Comparative Analysis of the Funds’ Performance and Management Fees and Expense Ratios. For each fund, the Board reviewed reports prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data based on classifications provided by Thomson Reuters Lipper (“Lipper”), which included information comparing (1) the performance of the fund’s Class M shares with the performance of a group of institutional funds selected by Broadridge as comparable to the fund (the “Performance Group”) and with a broader group of funds consisting of all retail and institutional funds in the particular Lipper classification (the “Performance Universe”), all for various periods ended December 31, 2023, and (2) the fund’s actual and contractual management fees and total expenses with those of the same group of funds in the Performance Group (the “Expense Group”) and with a broader group of funds consisting of all institutional funds in the particular Lipper classification, excluding outliers (the “Expense Universe”). The information for each comparison was derived, in part, from fund financial statements available to Broadridge as of the date of its analysis. The Adviser previously had furnished the Board with a description of the methodology Broadridge used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe and the Expense Group and Expense Universe.
Performance Comparisons. Representatives of the Adviser stated that the usefulness of performance comparisons may be affected by a number of factors, including different investment limitations and policies that may be applicable to each fund and comparison funds and the end date selected. The Board also considered the funds’ performance in light of overall financial market conditions.
Management Fee and Expense Ratio Comparisons. For each fund, the Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee rate (i.e., the aggregate of the investment advisory and administration fees pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement) payable by the fund to the Adviser in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management services provided by the Adviser. In addition, the Board reviewed and considered the actual management fee rate paid by the fund over the fund’s last fiscal year, which included any reductions for an expense limitation arrangement in place that reduced the management fee paid to the Adviser. The Board also reviewed the range of actual and contractual management fees and total expenses as a percentage of average net assets of the Expense Group and Expense Universe funds and discussed the results of the comparisons.
For each of BNY Mellon Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, BNY Mellon Municipal Opportunities Fund, and BNY Mellon Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, representatives of the Adviser reviewed with the Board the management or advisory fees paid by any funds advised by the Adviser that are in the same Lipper category as the fund (the “Similar Fund(s)”), and explained the nature of the Similar Funds. They discussed differences in fees paid and the relationship of the fees paid in light of any differences in the services provided and other relevant factors. The Board considered the relevance of the fee information
116
provided for the Similar Funds to evaluate the appropriateness of the relevant fund’s management fee. As to each fund, representatives of the Adviser noted that there were no Similar Funds for the other funds and that there were no separate accounts and/or other types of client portfolios advised by the Adviser that are considered to have similar investment strategies and policies as the fund.

The Board also considered that the fund’s yield performance was below the Performance Group median for eight of the ten one-year periods ended December 31st and above the Performance Universe median for eight of the ten one-year periods ended December 31st.

The Board considered that the fund’s contractual management fee was higher than the Expense Group median contractual management fee, the fund’s actual management fee was higher than the Expense Group median and Expense Universe median actual management fee, and the fund’s total expenses were higher than the Expense Group median and Expense Universe median total expenses.
Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. Representatives of the Adviser reviewed the expenses allocated and profit received by the Adviser and its affiliates and the resulting profitability percentage for managing each fund and the aggregate profitability percentage to the Adviser and its affiliates for managing the funds in the BNY Mellon fund complex, and the method used to determine the expenses and profit. The Board concluded that the profitability results were not excessive, given the services rendered and service levels provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to each fund. The Board also considered the expense limitation arrangement for certain funds and the effect such arrangements had on the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also had been provided with information prepared by an independent consulting firm regarding the Adviser’s approach to allocating costs to, and determining the profitability of, individual funds and the entire BNY Mellon fund complex. The consulting firm also had analyzed where any economies of scale might emerge in connection with the management of a fund.
As to each fund, the Board considered, on the advice of its counsel, the profitability analysis (1) as part of its evaluation of whether the fees under the Agreement, considered in relation to the mix of services provided by the Adviser, including the nature, extent and quality of such services, supported the renewal of the Agreement and (2) in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders. Representatives of the Adviser stated that a discussion of economies of scale is predicated on a fund having achieved a substantial size with increasing assets and that, if a fund’s assets had been stable or decreasing, the possibility that the Adviser may have realized any economies of scale would be less. Representatives of the Adviser also stated that, as a result of shared and allocated costs among funds in the BNY Mellon fund complex, the extent of economies of scale could depend substantially on the level of assets in the complex as a whole, so that increases and decreases in complex-wide assets can affect potential economies of scale in a manner that is disproportionate to, or even in the opposite direction from, changes in the fund’s asset level. The Board also considered potential benefits to the Adviser from acting as investment adviser and took into consideration that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect for trading the funds’ investments.
119
At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to the renewal of the Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board concluded and determined as follows.
· The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to each fund are adequate and appropriate.
· With respect to each fund, the Board generally was satisfied with the fund’s performance.
· With respect to each fund, the Board concluded that the fees paid pursuant to the Agreement continued to be appropriate under the circumstances and in light of the factors and the totality of the services provided as discussed above.
· The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the management of the funds had been adequately considered by the Adviser in connection with the fee rate charged to each fund pursuant to the Agreement and that, to the extent in the future it were determined that material economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund.
In evaluating the Agreement with respect to each fund, the Board considered these conclusions and determinations and also relied on its previous knowledge, gained through meetings and other interactions with the Adviser and its affiliates, of the Adviser and the services provided to the fund pursuant to the Agreement. The Board also relied on information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year relating to the operations of the funds and the investment management and other services provided under the Agreement, including information on the investment performance of each fund in comparison to similar mutual funds and benchmark performance indices; general market outlook as applicable to each fund; and compliance reports. In addition, the Board’s consideration of the contractual fee arrangements for each fund had the benefit of a number of years of reviews of the Agreement for the funds, during which lengthy discussions took place between the Board and representatives of the Adviser. Certain aspects of the arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than in others, and the Board’s conclusions may be based, in part, on its consideration of the respective fund’s arrangements, or substantially similar arrangements for the other funds in the Trust, in prior years. The Board determined to renew the Agreement for each fund.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The following tables describe the performance for each share class for the fiscal periods indicated. All information reflects financial results for a single fund share. Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, and redemption at net asset value on the last day of the period. Net asset value total return includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
BNY Mellon National Municipal Money Market Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of BNY Mellon Funds Trust (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering seventeen series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek as high a level of current income exempt from federal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. BNY serves as administrator for the fund pursuant to an Administration Agreement with the Trust (the “Administration Agreement”). BNY has entered into a Sub-Administration Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which BNY pays the Adviser for performing certain administrative services.
Effective September 1, 2023, the Adviser has engaged its affiliate, Dreyfus (the “Sub-Adviser”), to serve as the fund’s sub-investment adviser. Dreyfus is a division of Mellon Investments Corporation, a registered investment adviser and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY, with its principal office located at One Boston Place, 15th Floor, Boston, MA 02108.
BNY Mellon Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold without a sales charge. The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class M and Investor. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to the Shareholder Service Plan and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
As of August 31, 2024, MBC Investments Corporation, an indirect subsidiary of BNY, held 40,000 shares of investor shares for BNY Mellon National Municipal Money Market Fund.
It is the fund’s policy to maintain a constant net asset value (“NAV”) per share of $1.00 and the fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so. There is no assurance, however, that the fund will be able to maintain a constant NAV per share of $1.00.
The fund operates as a “retail money market fund” as that term is defined in Rule 2a-7 under the Act.
The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the FASB ASC Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate fair market value, the fair value of the portfolio securities will be determined by procedures established by and under the general oversight of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act.
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
11
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2024 in valuing the fund’s investments:
| | | | | | |
| Level 1-Unadjusted Quoted Prices | Level 2- Other Significant Observable Inputs | | Level 3-Significant Unobservable Inputs | Total | |
Assets ($) | | |
Investments in Securities:† | | |
Municipal Securities | - | 129,438,845 | | - | 129,438,845 | |
† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations, if any.
(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and is recognized on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.
(c) Market Risk: The value of the securities in which the fund invests may be affected by political, regulatory, economic and social developments. Events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the fund and its investments. Recent examples include pandemic risks related to COVID-19 and aggressive measures taken world-wide in response by governments, including closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel, and the imposition of prolonged quarantines of large populations, and by businesses, including changes to operations and reducing staff.
Interest Rate Risk: This risk refers to the decline in the prices of fixed-income securities that may accompany a rise in the overall level of interest rates. A sharp and unexpected rise in interest rates could impair the fund’s ability to maintain a stable net asset value. A wide variety of market factors can cause interest rates to rise, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation and changes in general economic conditions. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase (or decrease) interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such changes. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from fund performance.
Municipal Securities Risk: Municipal securities may be fully or partially backed or enhanced by the taxing authority of a local government, by the current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets, or by the credit of, or liquidity enhancement provided by, a private issuer. Special factors, such as legislative changes, and state and local economic and business developments, may adversely affect the yield and/or each relevant fund’s ability to maintain a stable net asset value.
(d) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from net investment income. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains.
(e) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax-exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
As of and during the period ended August 31, 2024, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended August 31, 2024, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
12
Each tax year in the four-year period ended August 31, 2024 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At August 31, 2024, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed tax-exempt income $181,391.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023 were as follows: tax–exempt income $4,751,404 and $7,026,672, ordinary income $56,777 and $28,935, respectively.
During the period ended August 31, 2024, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to treating a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as a distribution for tax purposes, the fund decreased total distributable earnings (loss) by $3,167 and increased paid-in capital by the same amount. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.
At August 31, 2024, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the Statement of Investments).
NOTE 2—Management Fee, Administration Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .15% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. The Adviser has contractually agreed, from June 28, 2024 through on or about October 21, 2024, to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the expenses of the fund so that the total annual fund operating expenses of the fund (excluding Shareholder Services Plan fees, taxes, interest expense, brokerage commissions, commitment fees on borrowings and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed .39% for Class M shares and .64% for Investor shares. The undertaking reflects the fund’s current total annual operating expenses (excluding Shareholder Services Plan fees for Investor shares) as of June 28, 2024. During the period ended August 31, 2024, there were no reimbursements pursuant to the undertaking.
Pursuant to a sub-investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser pays to the Sub-Adviser a monthly fee of 50% of the monthly management fee the Adviser receives from the fund with respect to value of the sub-advised net assets of the fund, net of any fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements made by the Adviser.
Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, The Bank of New York Mellon provides or arranges for fund accounting, transfer agency and other fund administration services and receives a fee based on the total net assets of the Trust based on the following rates:
0 up to $6 billion .15%
$6 billion up to $12 billion .12%
In excess of $12 billion .10%
(b) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Investor shares pay the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of its average daily net assets for the provision of certain services. The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (securities dealers, financial institutions or other industry professionals) with respect to these services. The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended August 31, 2024, the fund was charged $100 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.
The fund has arrangements with BNY Mellon Transfer, Inc., (the “Transfer Agent”) and The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”), both subsidiaries of BNY and affiliates of the Adviser, whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset Transfer Agent and Custodian fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes transfer agent net earnings credits, if any, and custody net earnings credits, if any, as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.
The fund compensates the Transfer Agent, under a transfer agency agreement, for providing cash management services for the fund. The Transfer Agent fees are comprised of amounts paid on cash management fees which are related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. BNY pays the fund’s Transfer Agent fees comprised of amounts paid on a per account basis out of the administration fee it receives from the Trust. These fees are included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations. These fees were partualy offset by earnings credits of $38.
The fund compensates the Custodian, under a custody agreement, for providing custodial services for the fund. These fees are determined based on net assets, geographic region and transaction activity. During the period ended August 31, 2024, the fund was charged $7,770 pursuant to the custody agreement. These fees were offset by earnings credits of $7,770.
13
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The fund compensates the Custodian, under a shareholder redemption draft processing agreement, for providing certain services related to the fund’s check writing privilege. During the period ended August 31, 2024, the fund was charged $3 pursuant to the agreement, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations.
During the period ended August 31, 2024, the fund was charged $20,979 for services performed by the fund’s Chief Compliance Officer and his staff. These fees are included in Chief Compliance Officer fees in the Statement of Operations.
The components of “Due to BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: Management fee of $18,846, Administrative Services Plan fees of $17,404, Shareholder Services Plans fees of $8, Custody Fees of $2,186, and Chief Compliance Officer fees of $2,846.
(c) Each board member of the fund also serves as a board member of other funds in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds complex. Annual retainer fees and meeting attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.
NOTE 3—Securities Transactions:
BNY Mellon National Municipal Money Market Fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain affiliated funds under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the fund from or to another fund or portfolio that are, or could be, considered an affiliate by virtue of having a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment adviser), common Trustees and/or common officers, complies with Rule 17a-7 under the Act. During the period ended August 31, 2024, the fund engaged in purchases and sales of securities pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the Act amounting to $108,460,000 and $114,300,000 respectively.
NOTE 4—Plan of Liquidations:
The Board has approved the liquidation of the fund, effective on or about October 21, 2024 (the “Liquidation Date”). Before the Liquidation Date, and at the discretion of fund management, the fund’s portfolio securities will be sold and/or allowed to mature in their normal course and the fund may cease to pursue its investment objective and policies. The liquidation of the fund may result in one or more taxable events for shareholders subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, effective on September 18, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the fund was closed to any investments for new accounts, except that new accounts may be established for “sweep accounts” and by participants in group retirement plans if the fund is established as an investment option under the plans before the Closing Date.
NOTE 5—Subsequent Event:
On July 12, 2023, the SEC adopted amendments to rules that govern money market funds. The amendments became effective October 2, 2023 with tiered compliance dates. The fund is compliant with all amendments that are effective to date, and is currently preparing for any amendments applicable to this fund that will become effective after the date of these financial statements.

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract. (Unaudited)
At a meeting of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) held on March 18-19, 2024, the Board considered the renewal of (i) the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement pursuant to which the Adviser provides the fund with investment advisory services and The Bank of New York Mellon is responsible for the provision of administrative services to the fund (together, the “Management Agreement”) and (ii) the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement pursuant to which Mellon Investments Corporation (“Mellon”), through its Dreyfus division (“Dreyfus” or the “Sub-Adviser”), provides day-to-day management of the fund’s investments. The Management Agreement, together with the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, are referred to as the “Agreements”. The Bank of New York Mellon has entered into a Sub-Administration Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which The Bank of New York Mellon pays the Adviser for performing certain of the administrative services. The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust, were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. In considering the renewal of the Agreements, the Board considered several factors that it believed to be relevant, including those discussed below. The Board did not identify any one factor as dispositive, and each Board member may have attributed different weights to the factors considered.
Analysis of Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund. The Board considered information provided to it at the meeting and in previous presentations from representatives of the Adviser regarding the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to funds in the Trust, including the fund. The Adviser provided the number of open accounts in the fund, the fund’s asset size and the allocation of fund assets among distribution channels. The Adviser also had previously provided information regarding the distribution channel(s) of the fund and the need to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each distribution channel, as applicable to the fund.
The Board also considered research support available to, and portfolio management capabilities of, the fund’s portfolio management personnel and that the Adviser also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements. The Board also considered the Adviser’s extensive administrative, accounting and compliance infrastructures, as well as, the Adviser’s supervisory activities over the Sub-Adviser.
Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Performance and Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board reviewed reports prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data based on classifications provided by Thomson Reuters Lipper (“Lipper”), which included information comparing (1) the performance of the fund’s Class M shares with the performance of a group of money market funds selected by Broadridge as comparable to the fund (the “Performance Group”) and with a broader group of funds consisting of all money market funds in the particular Lipper classification (the “Performance Universe”), all for various periods ended December 31, 2023, and (2) the fund’s actual and contractual management fees and total expenses with those of the same group of funds in the Performance Group (the “Expense Group”) and with a broader group of funds consisting of all money market funds in the particular Lipper classification, excluding outliers (the “Expense Universe”). The information for the comparison was derived, in part, from fund financial statements available to Broadridge as of the date of its analysis. The Performance Group and Performance Universe comparisons for the fund were provided based on both “gross” (i.e., without including fees and expenses) and “net” (i.e., including fees and expenses) total returns. The Adviser previously had furnished the Board with a description of the methodology Broadridge used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe and the Expense Group and Expense Universe.
Performance Comparisons. Representatives of the Adviser stated that the usefulness of performance comparisons may be affected by a number of factors, including different investment limitations and policies that may be applicable to the fund and comparison funds and the end date selected. The Board also considered the fund’s performance in light of overall financial market conditions.
Management Fee and Expense Ratio Comparisons. The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee rate (i.e., the aggregate of the investment advisory and administration fee pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement) payable by the fund to the Adviser in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board reviewed and considered the actual management fee rate paid by the fund over the fund’s last fiscal year. The Board also reviewed the range of actual and contractual management fees and total expenses as a percentage of average net assets of the Expense Group and Expense Universe funds and discussed the results of the comparisons.
20
The Board considered the fee payable to the Sub-Adviser in relation to the fee payable to the Adviser by the fund and the respective services provided by the Sub-Adviser and the Adviser. The Board also took into consideration that the Sub-Adviser’s fee is paid by the Adviser, out of its fee from the fund, and not the fund.
Representatives of the Adviser reviewed with the Board the management or advisory fee paid by funds advised by the Adviser that are in the same Lipper category as the fund (the “Similar Funds”), and explained the nature of the Similar Funds. They discussed differences in fees paid and the relationship of the fees paid in light of any differences in the services provided and other relevant factors. The Board considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Funds to evaluate the appropriateness of the fund’s management fee. Representatives of the Adviser noted that there were no separate accounts and/or other types of client portfolios advised by the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser that are considered to have similar investment strategies and policies as the fund.
The information comparing the fund’s performance to that of its Performance Group consisted of funds classified as retail no-load tax-exempt money market funds by Lipper and to that of its Performance Universe consisted of funds classified as retail tax-exempt money market funds by Lipper.
The Board discussed with representatives of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser the results of the performance comparisons and considered that the fund’s gross total return performance was above the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians for all periods, except for the ten-year period when the fund’s total return performance was slightly below the Performance Universe median. The Board considered that the fund’s net total return performance was at or above the Performance Group median and was above the Performance Universe median for all periods.
The Board considered that the fund’s contractual management fee was higher than the Expense Group median contractual management fee, the fund’s actual management fee was higher than the Expense Group median and Expense Universe median actual management fee, and the fund’s total expenses were lower than the Expense Group median and higher than the Expense Universe median total expenses.
Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. Representatives of the Adviser reviewed the expenses allocated and profit received by the Adviser and its affiliates and the resulting profitability percentage for managing the fund and the aggregate profitability percentage to the Adviser and its affiliates for managing the funds in the BNY Mellon fund complex, and the method used to determine the expenses and profit. The Board concluded that the profitability results were not excessive, given the services rendered and service levels provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to the fund. The Board also had been provided with information prepared by an independent consulting firm regarding the Adviser’s approach to allocating costs to, and determining the profitability of, individual funds and the entire BNY Mellon fund complex. The consulting firm also had analyzed where any economies of scale might emerge in connection with the management of a fund.
The Board considered, on the advice of its counsel, the profitability analysis (1) as part of its evaluation of whether the fees under the Agreements, considered in relation to the mix of services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, including the nature, extent and quality of such services, supported the renewal of the Agreements and (2) in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders. Representatives of the Adviser stated that a discussion of economies of scale is predicated on a fund having achieved a substantial size with increasing assets and that, if a fund’s assets had been stable or decreasing, the possibility that the Adviser may have realized any economies of scale would be less. Representatives of the Adviser also stated that, as a result of shared and allocated costs among funds in the BNY Mellon fund complex, the extent of economies of scale could depend substantially on the level of assets in the complex as a whole, so that increases and decreases in complex-wide assets can affect potential economies of scale in a manner that is disproportionate to, or even in the opposite direction from, changes in the fund’s asset level. The Board also considered potential benefits to the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser from acting as investment adviser and sub-investment adviser, respectively, and took into consideration that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect for trading the fund’s investments.
At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to the renewal of the Agreements. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board concluded and determined as follows.
21
· The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser to the fund are adequate and appropriate.
· The Board was satisfied with the fund’s performance.
· The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser continued to be appropriate under the circumstances and in light of the factors and the totality of the services provided as discussed above.
· The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the management of the fund had been adequately considered by the Adviser in connection with the fee rate charged to the fund pursuant to the Management Agreement and that, to the extent in the future it were determined that material economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund.
In evaluating the Agreements, the Board considered these conclusions and determinations and also relied on its previous knowledge, gained through meetings and other interactions with the Adviser, its affiliates and the Sub-Adviser, of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, and the services provided to the fund pursuant to the Agreements. The Board also relied on information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year relating to the operations of the fund and the investment management and other services provided under the Agreements, including information on the investment performance of the fund in comparison to similar mutual funds and benchmark performance measures; general market outlook as applicable to the fund; and compliance reports. In addition, the Board’s consideration of the contractual fee arrangements for the fund had the benefit of a number of years of reviews of the Management Agreement for the fund, during which lengthy discussions took place between the Board and representatives of the Adviser. Certain aspects of the arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than in others, and the Board’s conclusions may be based, in part, on its consideration of the fund’s arrangements, or substantially similar arrangements for the other funds in the Trust, in prior years. The Board determined to renew the Agreements.
