BNY Mellon Global Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund Institutional W Income

Objectives and Investment Policy OBJECTIVE To achieve capital growth over the long term (5 years or more). POLICY The Fund will: – invest in emerging markets globally; and – invest at least 75% of the portfolio in equities (company shares) and equity-related securities in companies listed, traded, located or deriving at least half of their revenue or income from emerging market countries across the world. Emerging market countries are countries, which are progressing towards becoming advanced, usually displayed by some development in financial markets, the existence of some form of stock exchange and a regulatory body. The Fund may: – invest in money market instruments, deposits, cash and near cash; – invest in other transferable securities; – use derivatives (financial instruments whose value is derived from other assets) with the aim of risk or cost reduction or to generate additional capital or income; and – invest up to 10% in other collective investment schemes (including but not limited to another Sub-Fund or Sub-Funds of the Company or BNY Mellon funds). Benchmark: The Fund will measure its performance against the MSCI Emerging Markets NR Index as a comparator benchmark (the "Benchmark"). The Fund will use the Benchmark as an appropriate comparator because it includes a broad representation of the asset class, sectors and geographical areas in which the Fund predominantly invests. The Fund is actively managed, which means the Investment Manager has discretion over the selection of investments subject to the investment objective and policies disclosed in the Prospectus. While the Fund's holdings may include constituents of the Benchmark, the selection of investments and their weightings in the portfolio are not influenced by the Benchmark. The investment strategy does not restrict the extent to which the Investment Manager may deviate from the Benchmark. OTHER INFORMATION Treatment of income: income from investments will be paid to shareholders annually on or before 31 August. Dealing: you can buy and sell your shares in the Fund between 9:00 and 17:00 (UK time) on each business day in England and Wales.
