To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests in a broad range of U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities, including money market instruments. The fund's investments may include: securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities (including mortgage-related securities); certificates of deposit, time deposits, bankers' acceptances and other short-term securities issued by domestic or foreign banks or thrifts or their subsidiaries or branches; domestic and foreign commercial paper, and other short-term corporate obligations, including those with floating or variable rates of interest; obligations issued or guaranteed by one or more foreign governments or any of their political subdivisions or agencies; repurchase agreements, including tri-party repurchase agreements; asset-backed securities; municipal securities; inflation-indexed securities; and zero coupon securities. The fund is designed to provide a high degree of share price stability while generating higher returns than money market funds over time and, thus, may be an investment alternative to money market funds and other fixed-income funds. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in debt securities, including money market instruments. The fund is not a money market fund and is not subject to the maturity, quality, liquidity and diversification requirements applicable to money market funds.
Under normal circumstances, the fund expects to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 120 days or less. In addition, the fund will only buy individual securities with remaining maturities of 18 months or less, or that have demand or other features which reduce their maturities to 18 months or less at the time of purchase.
Under normal circumstances, the fund invests only in securities that, at the time of purchase, are rated investment grade (i.e., Baa/BBB or higher) or in the top three short-term rating categories by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc.
The fund's portfolio managers buy and sell debt securities based on credit quality, financial outlook and yield potential. The fund attempts to increase yields by trading to take advantage of short-term market variations.
The fund will concentrate its investments in the financial services industry. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the fund will invest more than 25% of its assets in securities issued by companies in the financial services industry and repurchase agreements secured by such obligations. The fund may, however, invest less than 25% of its assets in securities issued by companies in the financial services industry for temporary defensive purposes.
