DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE(Unaudited)

For the period from November 1, 2021, through October 31, 2022, as provided by Nancy G. Rogers, CFA and Gregg Lee, CFA, Portfolio Managers

Market and Fund Performance Overview

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022, the BNY Mellon Bond Market Index Fund’s (the “fund”) Class I shares produced a total return of −15.94%, and its Investor shares produced a total return of −16.15%.¹ In comparison, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”) achieved a total return of −15.68% for the same period.²

Returns were negative across the board in the fixed-income market, but spread sectors, including corporate and securitized bonds fared the worst. The difference in returns between the fund and the Index was primarily the result of operating expenses that are not reflected in the Index’s results.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks to match the total return of the Index. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in bonds that are included in the Index (or other instruments with similar economic characteristics). To maintain liquidity, the fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in various short-term, fixed-income securities and money market instruments.

The fund’s investments are selected by a “sampling” process, which is a statistical process used to select bonds so that the fund has investment characteristics that closely approximate those of the Index. By using this sampling process, the fund typically will not invest in all of the securities in the Index.

Inflation Hampers the Market

Fixed-income markets posted a negative performance during the reporting period, driven primarily by worries about rising inflation. The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) responded with a hawkish stance and a series of hikes in the federal funds rate.

Inflation initially heated up in response to pent-up demand resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Pricing pressures were exacerbated by extended lockdowns in China, which caused bottlenecks in supply chains. Finally, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia reduced the supply of oil and other commodities, further adding to inflation pressures.

In March 2022, the Fed began to hike interest rates, hiking the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (bps). This was followed by an increase of 50 bps in May, and hikes of 75 bps in June, July and September, bringing the federal funds target to 3.00% - 3.25%. While some investors began to anticipate that the Fed would pivot and slow the pace of rate increases, the Fed gave little indication that it was ready to make this move.

Treasury yields rose across the yield curve during the reporting period, but especially at the short end, where the Fed’s actions have the most effect. The yield on the two-year Treasury rose approximately 400 bps, while the yield on the 10-year Treasury increased by approximately 250 bps.

Corporate and Securitized Bonds Perform Worst

The Index lost 15.68%, the weakest performance in decades, with declines occurring across the board. The loss was driven largely by bonds in spread sectors, especially corporate bonds, which declined approximately 19%, and by securitized bonds, which fell about 15%.

On the other hand, Treasuries outperformed the Index, declining about 14%, as did government agency bonds, which fell 10%. In the securitized sector, asset-backed securities, which tend to be of shorter duration, slid only 6%.

Replicating the Composition of the Index

As an index fund, we attempt to match closely the returns of the Index by approximating its composition and credit quality. Although we do not actively manage the fund’s investments in response to the macroeconomic environment, we continue to monitor factors which affect the fund’s investments.

November 15, 2022

¹Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid. The fund’s return reflects the absorption of certain fund expenses by BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. pursuant to an agreement. Had these expenses not been absorbed, returns would have been lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price, yield and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.

²Source: Lipper Inc. — The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based, flagship benchmark that measures the investment-grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The Index includes Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), ABS and CMBS (agency and nonagency). Investors cannot invest directly in any index.

Bonds are subject generally to interest-rate, credit, liquidity and market risks, to varying degrees, all of which are more fully described in the fund’s prospectus. Generally, all other factors being equal, bond prices are inversely related to interest-rate changes, and rate increases can cause price declines.

Indexing does not attempt to manage market volatility, use defensive strategies, or reduce the effects of any long-term periods of poor index performance. The correlation between fund and index performance may be affected by the fund’s expenses and use of sampling techniques, changes in securities markets, changes in the composition of the index, and the timing of purchases and redemptions of fund shares.

Recent market risks include pandemic risks related to COVID-19. The effects of COVID-19 have contributed to increased volatility in global markets and will likely affect certain countries, companies, industries and market sectors more dramatically than others. To the extent the fund may overweight its investments in certain countries, companies, industries or market sectors, such positions will increase the fund’s exposure to risk of loss from adverse developments affecting those countries, companies, industries or sectors.

FUND PERFORMANCE(Unaudited)

Comparison of change in value of a $10,000 investment in Investor shares and Class I shares of BNY Mellon Bond Market Index Fund with a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”).

^†Source: Lipper Inc.

Past performance is not predictive of future performance.

The above graph compares a hypothetical investment of $10,000 made in each of the Investor shares and Class I shares of BNY Mellon Bond Market Index Fund on 10/31/12 to a hypothetical investment of $10,000 made in the Index on that date. All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested.

The fund’s performance shown in the line graph above takes into account all applicable fees and expenses for Investor shares and Class I shares. The Index is a broad-based flagship benchmark that measures the investment-grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The Index includes Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), ABS and CMBS (agency and nonagency). Unlike a mutual fund, the Index is not subject to charges, fees and other expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in any index. Further information relating to fund performance, including expense reimbursements, if applicable, is contained in the Financial Highlights section of the prospectus and elsewhere in this report.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited)

As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees and other expenses. Using the information below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds. You also may pay one-time transaction expenses, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, which are not shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.

Review your fund’s expenses

The table below shows the expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in BNY Mellon Bond Market Index Fund from May 1, 2022 to October 31, 2022. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment
Assume actual returns for the six months ended October 31, 2022
	Class I	Investor Shares
Expenses paid per $1,000†	$.73	$1.95
Ending value (after expenses)	$931.00	$929.80

COMPARING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES WITH THOSE OF OTHER FUNDS (Unaudited)

Using the SEC’s method to compare expenses

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total cost) of investing in the fund with those of other funds. All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment
Assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended October 31, 2022
		Class I	Investor Shares
Expenses paid per $1,000†		$.77	$2.04
Ending value (after expenses)		$1,024.45	$1,023.19
†	Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .15% for Class I and .40% for Investor Shares, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The following tables describe the performance for each share class 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. These figures have been derived from the fund’s financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

BNY Mellon Bond Market Index Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc. (the “Company”), 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 four series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to match the total return of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser.

BNY Mellon Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge. The fund is authorized to issue 500 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Class I and Investor. Class I shares are sold primarily to bank trust departments and other financial service providers (including BNY Mellon 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 Plan fees. Investor shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear Distribution Plan fees. Differences between the two classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, as well as their minimum purchase and account balance requirements. 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 Company 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

58

require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Companyenters 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: 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 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.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:

The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has designated the Adviser as the fund’s valuation designee, effective September 8, 2022, to make all fair value determinations with respect to the fund’s portfolio

59

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

investments, subject to the Board’s oversight and pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act.

Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value and are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

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.

When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to accurately reflect 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 fund calculates its net asset value, the fund 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 such securities are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2022in valuing the fund’s investments:

(b) Foreign taxes: The 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 applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the fund and are reflected in the Statement of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred or those subject to reclaims as of October 31, 2022, if any, are disclosed in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

61

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(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 Mellon, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s 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. The fund is 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 Mellon is required to replace the securities for the benefit of the fund or credit the fund with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the fund’s rights against the borrower and the collateral. Additionally, the contractual maturity of security lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. During the period ended October 31, 2022, BNY Mellon earned $10,386 from the lending of the fund’s portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.

(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Adviser are considered “affiliated” under the Act.

(e) Market Risk: The value of the securities in which the 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. The value of a security may also decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company or industry, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, changes to inflation, adverse changes to credit markets or adverse investor sentiment generally. 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 the 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

62

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. 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.

Debt Risk: The fund invests primarily in debt securities. Failure of an issuer of the debt securities to make timely interest or principal payments, or a decline or the perception of a decline in the credit quality of a debt security, can cause the debt security’s price to fall, potentially lowering the fund’s share price. In addition, the value of debt securities may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment. Such values may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry.

(f) 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. 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 the 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 and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

As of and during the period ended October 31, 2022, 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 October 31, 2022, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

63

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2022 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At October 31, 2022, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $271,282, accumulated capital losses $20,683,158 and unrealized depreciation $84,875,394.

The 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.

The accumulated capital loss carryover is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future netrealized capital gains, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 2022. The fund has $19,309,922 of short-term capital losses and $1,373,236 of long-term capital losses which can be carried forward for an unlimited period.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021 were as follows: ordinary income $16,878,725 and $22,086,760, and long-term capital gains $8,149,345 and $5,022,398, respectively.

(h) New accounting pronouncements: In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), and in January 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (“ASU 2021-01”), which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates as of the end of 2021. The temporary relief provided by ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 (“FASB Effective Date”). Management had evaluated the impact of ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 on the fund’s investments, derivatives, debt and other contracts that will undergo reference rate-related modifications as a result of the Reference Rate Reform. Management will be adopting ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 on FASB Effective Date or if amended ASU 2020-04 new extended FASB Effective Date, if any. Management will continue to work with other financial institutions and counterparties to modify contracts as required by applicable regulation and within the regulatory deadlines. As of October

64

31, 2022, management believes these accounting standards have no impact on the fund and does not have any concerns of adopting the regulations by FASB Effective Date.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

The fund participates with other long-term open-end funds managed by the Adviser in a $823.5 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. (the “Citibank Credit Facility”) and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by BNY Mellon (the “BNYM 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 $688.5 million and is available to all long-term open-ended funds, including the fund, and (ii) Tranche B is an amount equal to $135 million and is available only to BNY Mellon Floating Rate Income Fund, a series of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for Tranche A of the Citibank Credit Facility and the BNYM Credit Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended October 31, 2022, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Adviser, the Adviser provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates to provide investment advisory, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund. The Adviser also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually obligated to pay the Adviser a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of .15% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Out of its fee the Adviser pays all of the expenses of the fund except brokerage fees, taxes, interest expenses, commitment fees on borrowings, Distribution Plan fees, fees and expenses of non-interested Board Members (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, the Adviser is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Board Members (including counsel fees). During the period ended October 31, 2022, fees reimbursed by the Adviser amounted to $84,210.

(b) Under the Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Investor shares may pay annually up to .25% of the value of its

65

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

average daily net assets to compensate the Distributor for shareholder servicing activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Investor shares. During the period ended October 31, 2022, Investor shares were charged $579,294 pursuant to the Distribution Plan.

Under its terms, the Distribution Plan shall remain in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by a vote of a majority of those Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of or in any agreement related to the Distribution Plan.

The fund has an arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”), a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of the Adviser, whereby the fund will receive interest income or be charged overdraft fees when cash balances are maintained. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes this interest income and overdraft fees, if any, as interest income 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 $80,643 and Distribution Plan fees of $44,426, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $4,500.

(c) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales (including paydowns) of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended October 31, 2022, amounted to $1,901,423,767 and $2,141,596,970, respectively, of which $805,626,719 in purchases and $806,913,692 in sales were from mortgage dollar transactions.

Mortgage Dollar Rolls: A mortgage dollar roll transaction involves a sale by the fund of mortgage related securities that it holds with an agreement by the fund to repurchase similar securities at an agreed upon price and date. The securities purchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories than those securities sold. The fund accounts for mortgage dollar rolls as purchases and sales transactions. The fund executes mortgage dollar rolls entirely in the To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) market.

66

TBA Securities: During the period ended October 31, 2022, the fund transacted in TBA securities that involved buying or selling mortgage-backed securities on a forward commitment basis. A TBA transaction typically does not designate the actual security to be delivered and only includes an approximate principal amount; however, delivered securities must meet specified terms defined by industry guidelines, including issuer, rate and current principal amount outstanding on underlying mortgage pools. TBA securities subject to a forward commitment to sell at period end are included at the end of the fund’s Statement of Investments. The proceeds and value of these commitments are reflected in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Receivable for TBA sale commitments (included in receivable securities sold) and TBA sale commitments, at value, respectively.

At October 31, 2022, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $759,436,508; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized depreciation on investments was $84,875,649 consisting of $600,240 gross unrealized appreciation and $85,475,889 gross unrealized depreciation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of the Fund and Board of Directors of
BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc.:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of BNY Mellon Bond Market Index Fund (the Fund), a series of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc., including the statement of investments, as of October 31, 2022, the related statement 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 Fund as of October 31, 2022, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its 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 Fund’s 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 Fund 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 October 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were not received. 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.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE(Unaudited)

For the period from November 1, 2021, through October 31, 2022, as provided by David France, CFA, Todd Frysinger, CFA, Vlasta Sheremeta, CFA, Michael Stoll and Marlene Walker Smith, Portfolio Managers.

Market and Fund Performance Overview

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022, the BNY Mellon Institutional S&P 500 Stock Index Fund’s (the “fund”) Class I shares produced a total return of −14.78%.¹ In comparison, the S&P 500^® Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, returned −14.60% for the same period.²

Equities declined during the reporting period under pressure from increasing inflation, tightening central bank policies and uncertainties related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The difference in returns between the fund and the Index resulted primarily from transaction costs and operating expenses that are not reflected in Index results.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks to match the total return of the Index. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 95% of its total assets in common stocks included in the Index. To replicate Index performance, the fund’s portfolio managers use a passive management approach and generally purchase all the securities comprising the Index (though, at times, the fund may invest in a representative sample of the Index). Because the fund has expenses, performance will tend to be slightly lower than that of the Index. The fund attempts to have a correlation between its performance and that of the Index of at least .95, before expenses. A correlation of 1.00 would mean that the fund and the Index were perfectly correlated.

The Index is an unmanaged index of 500 common stocks, chosen to reflect the industries of the U.S. economy, and is often considered a proxy for the stock market in general.

Increasing Inflation and Slowing Economic Growth Pressure Equities

U.S. equities started the reporting period on a mixed note. Concerns regarding the new COVID-19 Omicron variant came to the fore in November 2021. Markets recovered in December on continued economic growth and strong corporate earnings reports, despite increasingly hawkish rhetoric from the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) regarding the tapering of the Fed’s asset-purchase program in the face of rising inflation. The start of 2022 saw increasingly aggressive comments from the Fed regarding monetary tightening, along with rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine, two major suppliers of energy, agricultural products and other natural resources. As a result, equity markets weakened in January, then plunged in early February as Russia invaded its neighbor, while commodity prices rose, led by soaring energy prices.

Rapidly rising inflation marked the second half of the period. The Fed attempted to dampen the trend by raising rates five times between March and September, from a range of .00 – .25% at the beginning of the period to 3.00% – 3.25% as of October 31, 2022—its most aggressive series of rate increases in decades, with further increases projected by the end of the year. Rising rates heightened concerns that economic growth could be undermined by anti-inflationary moves. The resulting risk-off sentiment broadly undermined equity markets,

with defensive, value-oriented stocks strongly outperforming more cyclical, growth-oriented shares.

Communication Services Lead the Equity Market Lower

Communications services led the market lower as the sector was viewed as both cyclical and interest-rate sensitive, with companies subject to supply-chain disruptions and discretionary spending constraints. Consumer discretionary shares suffered as well due to rising input prices and seemingly intractable supply-chain bottlenecks. Real estate underperformed as rising interest rates increased mortgage expenses and dampened property sales.

On the positive side, shares in oil & gas exploration & production companies soared as commodity prices climbed. Consumer staples shares advanced mildly as a value-oriented sector that typically tends to perform relatively well during times of increasing economic stress and uncertainty. Utility stocks also generated slight gains due to their value-oriented investment proposition and the ability of power generators to insulate profits from rising input expenses by hedging energy costs.

The fund’s use of derivatives during the period was limited to futures contracts employed solely to offset the impact of cash positions, which the fund holds pursuant to its operations. These derivatives helped the fund more closely match the performance of the Index.

Replicating the Performance of the Index

In seeking to match the performance of the Index, we do not actively manage investments in response to macroeconomic trends. We note, however, that rising inflation, tightening Fed policy and geopolitical uncertainties related to the war in Ukraine are likely to continue posing challenges for equity investors for the foreseeable future. With inflation in the United States currently running well above the Fed’s 2% target rate, the question remains open as to how soon the Fed can bring inflation under control and to what extent its actions will slow economic growth. As always, we continue to monitor factors that affect the fund’s investments.

November 15, 2022

¹ Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid. The fund’s return reflects the absorption of certain fund expenses by BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. pursuant to an agreement. Had these expenses not been absorbed, returns would have been lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.

² Source: Lipper Inc. — The S&P 500^® Index is widely regarded as the best single gauge of large-cap U.S. equities. The Index includes 500 leading companies and captures approximately 80% coverage of available market capitalization. Investors cannot invest directly in any index.

Equities are subject generally to market, market sector, market liquidity, issuer and investment style risks, among other factors, to varying degrees, all of which are more fully described in the fund’s prospectus.

Recent market risks include pandemic risks related to COVID-19. The effects of COVID-19 have contributed to increased volatility in global markets and will likely affect certain countries, companies, industries and market sectors more dramatically than others. To the extent the fund may overweight its investments in certain countries, companies, industries or market sectors, such positions will increase the fund's exposure to risk of loss from adverse developments affecting those countries, companies, industries or sectors.

The fund may, but is not required, to use derivative instruments. A small investment in derivatives could have a potentially large impact on the 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.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The following table describes the performance for the fiscal periods indicated. 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. These figures have been derived from the fund’s financial statements.

Class I shares are sold primarily to bank trust departments and other financial service providers (including BNY Mellon 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 Service Plan fees. Class I shares are offered without a front-end sales charge or a contingent deferred sales charge.

The Company 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 Companyenters 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: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability

26

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 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.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:

The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has designated the Adviser as the fund’s valuation designee, effective September 8, 2022, to make all fair value determinations with respect to the fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight and pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act.

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

27

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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 pricing 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 accurately reflect 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 fund calculates its net asset value, the fund 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 such securities are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Futures, which are traded on an exchange, 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 is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2022in valuing the fund’s investments:

^†See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations, if any.

^††Amount shown represents unrealized appreciation (depreciation) at period end, but only variation margin on exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives, if any, are reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

(b) Foreign taxes: The 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 applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the fund and are reflected in the Statement of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred or those subject to reclaims as of October 31, 2022, if any, are disclosed in the fund’s Statement 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 Mellon, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s 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. The fund is 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 Mellon is required to replace the securities for the benefit of

29

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

the fund or credit the fund with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the fund’s rights against the borrower and the collateral. Additionally, the contractual maturity of security lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. During the period ended October 31, 2022, BNY Mellon earned $5,534 from the lending of the fund’s portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.

(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Adviser are considered “affiliated” under the Act.

(e) Market Risk: The value of the securities in which the 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. The value of a security may also decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company or industry, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, changes to inflation, adverse changes to credit markets or adverse investor sentiment generally. 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 the 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. 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.

(f) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are normally declared and paid quarterly. 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. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

30

(g) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the 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 and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

As of and during the period ended October 31, 2022, 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 October 31, 2022, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2022 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At October 31, 2022, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $9,768,465, undistributed capital gains $303,993,830 and unrealized appreciation $1,618,034,815.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021 were as follows: ordinary income $43,708,894 and $53,143,275, and long-term capital gains $338,902,418 and $82,703,373, respectively.

During the period ended October 31, 2022, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for treating a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as a distribution for tax purposes, the fund decreased total distributable earnings (loss) by $46,347,605 and increased paid-in capital by the same amount. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

The fund participates with other long-term open-end funds managed by the Adviser in a $823.5 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. (the “Citibank Credit Facility”) and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by BNY Mellon (the “BNYM 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 $688.5 million and is available to all long-term open-ended funds, including the fund, and (ii) Tranche B is an amount equal to $135 million and is available only to BNY Mellon Floating Rate Income Fund, a series of BNY Mellon

31

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Investment Funds IV, Inc. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for Tranche A of the Citibank Credit Facility and the BNYM Credit Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing.

The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Facilities during the period ended October 31, 2022 was approximately $938,082 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 2.62%.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Adviser, the Adviser provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates to provide investment advisory, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund. The Adviser also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually obligated to pay the Adviser a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of .20% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Out of its fee, the Adviser pays all of the expenses of the fund except brokerage fees, taxes, interest expense, commitment fees on borrowings, fees and expenses of non-interested Board Members (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, the Adviser is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Board Members (including counsel fees). During the period ended October 31, 2022, fees reimbursed by the Adviser amounted to $293,200.

(b) The fund has an arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”), a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of the Adviser, whereby the fund will receive interest income or be charged overdraft fees when cash balances are maintained. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes this interest income and overdraft fees, if any, as interest income in the Statement of Operations.

The components of “Due to BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc.” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fee of $378,227, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $80,000.

(c) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

32

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities and futures, during the period ended October 31, 2022, amounted to $49,910,732 and $540,879,879, respectively.

Derivatives:A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. The SEC recently adopted Rule 18f-4 under the Act, which, effective August 18, 2022, regulates the use of derivatives transactions for certain funds registered under the Act. The 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 derivatives does not exceed 10% of fund’s net assets, and is subject to certain reporting requirements. Each type of derivative instrument that was held by the fund during the period ended October 31, 2022 is discussed below.

Futures: In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the fund is exposed to market risk, including equity price risk,as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments. The fund invests in futures in order to manage its 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 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 Statement of Operations. When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss which is reflected in the Statement of Operations. There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the fund with futures since they are exchange traded, and the exchange guarantees the futures against default. Futures open at October 31, 2022 are set forth in the Statement of Investments.

The following summarizes the average market value of derivatives outstanding duringthe period ended October 31, 2022:

	Average Market Value ($)
Equity futures	21,232,433

At October 31, 2022, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $681,515,432; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $1,618,034,815, consisting of

$1,662,608,780 gross unrealized appreciation and $44,573,965 gross unrealized depreciation.

NOTE 5—Shareholder Demand Review:

On July 30, 2021, the fund Board received a demand letter sent on behalf of a shareholder, alleging that the fund paid excessive management fees to the Adviser, and demanding that the Board investigate the compensation paid by the fund to the Adviser and take certain other actions.  In response to the demand letter, the Board established a Demand Review Committee (the “Committee”) of independent members of the Board to investigate the shareholder’s claims with the assistance of independent counsel. At the fund’s fourth quarter 2022 Board meeting, the Committee informed the Board that it had concluded its investigation, presented the findings of its investigation, and recommended that the Board reject taking any of the actions outlined in the demand letter. The Board accepted the Committee’s recommendation and voted to reject taking the actions outlined in the demand letter. As of the end of the reporting period, the fund paid $523,207 in extraordinary expense disclosed as Legal fees within the Statement of Operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of the Fund and Board of Directors of
BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc. :

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of BNY Mellon Institutional S&P 500 Stock Index Fund (the Fund), a series of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc., including the statement of investments, as of October 31, 2022, the related statement 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 Fund as of October 31, 2022, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its 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 Fund’s 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 Fund 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 October 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were not received. 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.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE(Unaudited)

For the period from November 1, 2021, through October 31, 2022, as provided by portfolio managers Alan R. Christensen, Catherine P. Crain, W. Gentry Lee, Jr., Christopher B. Sarofim, and Charles E. Sheedy of Fayez Sarofim & Co., sub-adviser.

Market and Fund Performance Overview

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022, BNY Mellon Tax Managed Growth Fund’s (the “fund”) Class A shares produced a total return of −18.09%, Class C shares returned −18.70% and Class I shares returned −17.90%.¹ In comparison, the S&P 500^® Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, returned −14.60% for the same period.²

U.S. equities declined during the reporting period in response to inflation, tightening monetary policy and concerns about a potentially slowing economy. The fund lagged its benchmark due primarily to unfavorable security selection.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation consistent with minimizing realized capital gains. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in common stocks and employs a tax-managed strategy, which is an approach to managing a fund that seeks to minimize capital gains-tax liabilities.

In choosing stocks, the fund’s portfolio managers first identify economic sectors that they believe will expand over the next three to five years or longer. Using fundamental analysis, the fund’s portfolio managers then seek companies within these sectors that have dominant positions in their industries, and that have demonstrated sustained patterns of profitability, strong balance sheets, an expanding global presence and the potential to achieve predictable, above-average earnings growth. The fund’s portfolio managers also are alert to companies that they consider undervalued in terms of current earnings, assets or growth prospects.

The fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated American depositary receipts (ADRs). The fund attempts to enhance after-tax returns by minimizing its annual taxable distributions to shareholders. To do so, the fund employs a “buy-and hold” investment strategy, which generally has resulted in an annual portfolio turnover rate of below 15%.

Markets Hindered by Inflation, Tightening Monetary Policy and Growth Concerns

The reporting period was defined by a significant shift from positive to negative investor sentiment, which led to steep declines in the equity market. The Index reached new all-time highs in early January of 2022 before concerns over high inflation, monetary policy normalization, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict turned investor sentiment negative.

Inflation continued the upward trend that began in 2021 and ultimately reached a multidecade high of 9.1% in June of 2022, as measured by the annual headline Consumer Price Index, worrying consumers and investors alike. In response to this persistently high inflation, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) shifted its policy from helping the economy recover after the COVID-19 shutdowns to taming high inflation by raising interest rates and reducing its balance sheet. Citing a strong economy and noting a sense of urgency, the Fed

began to implement rate hikes in March 2022. Higher rates are intended to help tame inflation as consumers and businesses cut back on consumption and investments due to higher borrowing costs. But an overly aggressive approach could go too far and tip the economy into a recession. The ultimate result of the Fed’s monetary tightening policy continues to be debated, with a recession as the worst-case scenario and a “soft landing” as the best-case scenario.

The adverse impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on the global supply chain also continued to weigh on investor sentiment. The U.S. and major economies in Europe and Asia imposed sanctions against Russia for its invasion, exacerbating the already high price of commodities such as wheat and crude oil.

As markets digested the winding down of pandemic-era accommodative monetary policies, the growth outlook has been dampened by the intertwining issues of supply-chain disruptions, COVID-19 lockdowns and inflation. As 2022 has progressed, inflation data and the Fed’s monetary tightening policies dominated the market narrative. While some investors were optimistic that a downtick in inflation would compel the Fed to pivot away from its monetary tightening path, Chairman Powell rejected any notion of a pivot and shifted expectations toward a prolonged period of restrictive monetary policy and slower growth. Slower growth prospects, supply-chain concerns, and higher interest rates for longer negatively impacted stock valuations.

Within the S&P 500, the energy sector was a standout and gained over 60% during the period, driven by high energy prices. Several other sectors were challenged, with the communication services, consumer discretionary and real estate sectors performing the worst.

Stock Selection Hampered Performance

The fund underperformed the S&P 500 Index during the period as a negative stock selection effect outweighed a positive allocation effect. In the communication services sector, a negative allocation and stock selection effect detracted from fund results. In the health care sector, the combination of the fund’s holdings trailing their sector peers and an underweight allocation resulted in an overall negative contribution for the period. Stock selection was also a detractor in the financial sector. The top detractors from relative performance included Meta Platforms Inc., Microsoft Corp., Amazon.com Inc., Alphabet Inc. and Estee Lauder Companies.

On a more positive note, the fund was a beneficiary of positive stock selection and allocation effects stemming from its overweight allocation to the energy sector, which was the best-performing sector in the Index. In the consumer discretionary sector, the fund also benefited from positive allocation and selection effects as its holdings outpaced the Index. The fund’s strategic holdings in the information technology sector also contributed positively to performance. The top contributors to relative performance included Chevron Corp., Hess Corp., UnitedHealth Group Inc., Exxon Mobil Corp. and The Progressive Corp.

A Focus on Quality

We expect markets to be turbulent as we endure a longer period of monetary policy tightening, which can result in strains on the economy. As the fund has done in its long history, it remains focused on companies with solid pricing power, high margins and secure

balance sheets. We believe the earnings and cash flow streams of these companies should remain resilient. In the current environment, capital allocation and operational excellence remain paramount, as missteps are being punished quickly.

Although we do not see reasons to be overly aggressive while the Fed is hiking rates, we are beginning to see more attractive valuations in companies that we believe may have unique competitive positioning and advantages. It is easy to be pessimistic, but we are reminded that we have been through many difficult periods through seven decades of market history. In addition, it is important to remember that lower valuations and share prices tend to, typically, improve the opportunity for future returns. We remain dedicated to identifying the best businesses and management teams at attractive prices.

¹Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid and does not take into consideration the maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge imposed on redemptions in the case of Class C shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.

²Source: Lipper Inc. — The S&P 500^® Index is widely regarded as the best single gauge of large-cap U.S. equities. The Index includes 500 leading companies and captures approximately 80% coverage of available market capitalization. Investors cannot invest directly in any index.

Investing in foreign denominated and/or domiciled securities involves special risks, including changes in currency exchange rates, political, economic, and social instability, limited company information, differing auditing and legal standards, and less market liquidity. These risks generally are greater with emerging market countries.

Equities are subject generally to market, market sector, market liquidity, issuer and investment style risks, among other factors, to varying degrees, all of which are more fully described in the fund’s prospectus.

References to specific securities, asset classes and financial markets are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be and should not be interpreted as recommendations.

Recent market risks include pandemic risks related to COVID-19. The effects of COVID-19 have contributed to increased volatility in global markets and will likely affect certain countries, companies, industries and market sectors more dramatically than others. To the extent the fund may overweight its investments in certain countries, companies, industries or market sectors, such positions will increase the fund’s exposure to risk of loss from adverse developments affecting those countries, companies, industries or sectors.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The following tables describe the performance for each share class 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. These figures have been derived from the fund’s financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

BNY Mellon Tax Managed Growth Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc. (the “Company”), 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 four series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation consistent with minimizing realized capital gains. BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. Fayez Sarofim & Co. (the “Sub-Adviser” or “Sarofim & Co.”) serves as the sub-adviser to the fund. Due to a change in the ownership and organizational structure of Sarofim & Co. that occurred on May 28, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), the then-existing sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Sarofim & Co., on behalf of the fund (the “Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement”) terminated in accordance with its terms and the Act.

To enable Sarofim & Co. to continue to provide sub-advisory services to the fund after the Effective Date, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved an interim sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Sarofim & Co., on behalf of the fund (the “Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement”), which did not require shareholder approval, and a new sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Sarofim & Co., on behalf of the fund (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreement”), which required approval by a majority of the fund’s outstanding voting securities before it could go into effect. As required under the Act, the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement expired upon the earlier of 150 days after the Effective Date or upon shareholder approval and effectiveness of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. Therefore, the Board called a Special Meeting of Shareholders to seek shareholder approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement in order to ensure that Sarofim & Co. could provide uninterrupted service as sub-adviser to the fund. At a Special Meeting of Shareholders held on October 4, 2022, votes were presented and counted but the fund did not receive enough votes to reach the required threshold to approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. While the percentage of shares voted was significantly in favor of the proposal, the shareholder meeting was further adjourned to October 24, 2022 to provide additional time for shareholders of the fund to vote. At a Special Meeting of Shareholders on October 24, 2022, shareholder approval was obtained for the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. See “Proxy Results (Unaudited)”.

19

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The sub-advisory fee payable under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement is the same as the sub-advisory fee under the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Adviser continues to serve as the fund’s investment adviser.

BNY Mellon Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is the distributor of the fund’s shares. The fund is authorized to issue 600 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock. The fund currently has authorized three classes of shares: Class A (300 million shares authorized), Class C (100 million shares authorized) and Class I (200 million shares authorized). Class A and Class C shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear Distribution fees and/or Service 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 Mellon 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 Service Plan fees. Class I 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, 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 Company 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

20

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 Companyenters 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: 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 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.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:

The Board has designated the Adviser as the fund’s valuation designee, effective September 8, 2022, to make all fair value determinations with

21

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

respect to the fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight and pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act.

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 pricing 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.

When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to accurately reflect 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 fund calculates its net asset value, the fund 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 such securities 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.

22

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2022in 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:†
Equity Securities - Common Stocks	122,875,474	-	-	122,875,474
Investment Companies	962,357	-	-	962,357

^†See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations, if any.

(b) Foreign currency transactions: The 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 fund’s 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: The 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 applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the fund and are reflected in the Statement of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred or those subject to reclaims as of October 31, 2022, if any, are disclosed in the fund’s Statement 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

23

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with BNY Mellon, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s 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. The fund is 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 Mellon is required to replace the securities for the benefit of the fund or credit the fund with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the fund’s rights against the borrower and the collateral. Additionally, the contractual maturity of security lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. During the period ended October 31, 2022, BNY Mellon earned $1,177 from the lending of the fund’s portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.

(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Adviser are considered “affiliated” under the Act.

(e) Market Risk: The value of the securities in which the 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. The value of a security may also decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company or industry, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, changes to inflation, adverse changes to credit markets or adverse investor sentiment generally. 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 the 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. Recent examples include pandemic risks related to COVID-19 and aggressive measures taken world-wide in response by governments,

24

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.

(f) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are normally declared and paid quarterly. 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. 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 the 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 and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

As of and during the period ended October 31, 2022, 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 October 31, 2022, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2022 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At October 31, 2022, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $227,196, undistributed capital gains $8,966,377 and unrealized appreciation $73,291,988.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021 were as follows: ordinary income $85,003 and $255,421, and long-term capital gains $6,181,556 and $7,950,249, respectively.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

The fund participates with other long-term open-end funds managed by the Adviser in a $823.5 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank,

25

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

N.A. (the “Citibank Credit Facility”) and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by BNY Mellon (the “BNYM 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 $688.5 million and is available to all long-term open-ended funds, including the fund, and (ii) Tranche B is an amount equal to $135 million and is available only to BNY Mellon Floating Rate Income Fund, a series of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for Tranche A of the Citibank Credit Facility and the BNYM Credit Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended October 31, 2022, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.

NOTE 3—Management Fee, Sub-Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Adviser, the Adviser provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates to provide management, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund. The Adviser also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually obligated to pay the Adviser a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of .95% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Out of its fee, the Adviser pays all of the expenses of the fund except brokerage fees, taxes, interest expenses, commitment fees on borrowings, Distribution Plan fees and Service Plan fees, fees and expenses of the non-interested Board Members (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, the Adviser is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Board Members (including counsel fees). During the period ended October 31, 2022, fees reimbursed by the Adviser amount to $14,603.

Pursuant to a sub-investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser a monthly fee at an annual rate of .2175% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets.

During the period ended October 31, 2022, the Distributor retained $3,077 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $132 from CDSC fees on redemptions of the fund’s Class C shares.

26

(b) Under the Distribution Plans adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Distribution Plans”) under the Act, Class A shares pay annually up to .25% of the value of its average daily net assets to compensate the Distributor and its affiliates for shareholder servicing activities and expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A shares. The Distributor may compensate Service Agents in respect of distribution-related services with regard to the fund and/or shareholder services to the Service Agents’ clients that hold Class A shares. Class C shares pay the Distributor for distributing its shares at an aggregate annual rate of .75% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. The Distributor may pay one or more Service Agents for distribution-related services, and determines the amounts, if any, to be paid to Service Agents and the basis on which such payments are made.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of BNY Mellon Tax Managed Growth Fund (the Fund), a series of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc., including the statement of investments, as of October 31, 2022, the related statement 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 Fund as of October 31, 2022, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its 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.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE APPROVAL OF THE FUND'S NEW SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) held on June 6, 2022 (the “June Meeting”), the Board discussed the passing of Fayez Sarofim, the founder and controlling shareholder of Fayez Sarofim & Co. (the “Sub-Adviser”), the fund’s sub-adviser. Mr. Sarofim’s passing caused a “change in control” of the Sub-Adviser which triggered an assignment and automatic termination of the then-existing sub-investment advisory agreement (the “Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the fund’s investment adviser, BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), on behalf of the fund, and the Sub-Adviser, pursuant to its terms and the applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). To enable the Sub-Adviser to continue to provide day-to-day management of the fund’s investments after the automatic termination of the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board Members, a majority of whom are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the fund (the “Independent Board Members”), discussed and approved an interim sub-investment advisory agreement (the “Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Adviser, on behalf of the fund, and the Sub-Adviser, which did not require shareholder approval before it went into effect on May 28, 2022 (the “Effective Date”). As required under the 1940 Act, the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement expires upon the earlier of 150 days after the Effective Date or upon shareholder approval and effectiveness of a new sub-investment advisory agreement between the fund and the Sub-Adviser.

At a meeting of the fund’s Board of Directors held on July 21, 2022 (the “July Meeting”), the Board considered and approved a new sub-investment advisory agreement (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Adviser, on behalf of the fund, and the Sub-Adviser, subject to shareholder approval, pursuant to which the Sub-Adviser would continue to provide day-to-day management of the fund’s portfolio, and agreed to recommend that shareholders of the fund approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement at a shareholder meeting to be held on October 4, 2022. The New Sub-Advisory Agreement was approved by fund shareholders as of October 24, 2022.

The Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement was most recently reapproved by the Board for a one-year continuance at a meeting held March 2-3, 2022 (the “15(c) Meeting”). At the 15(c) Meeting, the Independent Board Members requested and received information from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser they deemed reasonably necessary for their review of the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement and the performance and services provided by the Sub-Adviser. The information received by the Board included information related to the fees paid by the fund to the Adviser and by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates with respect to the fund, among other items, in accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act. At the June Meeting and July Meeting, management of the Adviser confirmed that it believed that there were no material changes to the information presented at the 15(c) Meeting relevant to the Board’s consideration of the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement, respectively, other than the information about the change in control at the Sub-Adviser following the death of Mr. Sarofim as the firm’s controlling shareholder. In addition, the Sub-Adviser represented that its new ownership structure was not

32

expected to have a material impact on the nature, extent or quality of the investment advisory services that the Sub-Adviser provided to the fund, and that the persons responsible for portfolio management of the fund (other than Mr. Fayez Sarofim) were anticipated to remain the same. It was also noted that the terms of the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement were substantially similar in material respects to the fund’s Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement, except for the term and termination provisions.

In connection with the June Meeting and July Meeting and in accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested, and the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provided, materials relating to the change in control of the Sub-Adviser in connection with the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement, respectively. This included a description of the Sub-Adviser’s new ownership structure and its anticipated effects on the Sub-Adviser and its business activities and personnel. The Board noted that the services provided under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement, respectively, would be substantially identical to those provided under the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement. In addition, the sub-advisory fee under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement, respectively, would remain the same as the sub-advisory fee under the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement. Management of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser represented that under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement, respectively, there would be no diminution in services provided by the Sub-Adviser to the fund or changes in the fees payable by the fund to the Adviser or by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered the substance of discussions with representatives of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser at the 15(c) Meeting. Additionally, the Board reviewed materials supplied by counsel that were prepared for use by the Board in fulfilling its duties under state law and the 1940 Act.

In voting to approve the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered whether the approval of the agreements would be in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders, an evaluation based on several factors including those discussed below. At the June Meeting and July Meeting, the Independent Board Members were represented by legal counsel that is independent of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser in connection with their consideration of approval of the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and New Sub-Advisory Agreement, respectively. Based on their discussions and considerations, including those described below, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, approved the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement at the June Meeting and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement at the July Meeting. It is currently anticipated that the New Sub-Advisory Agreement will be reviewed by the Board as part of its annual review of advisory arrangements for the fund in the first quarter of 2023.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided under the Interim and New Sub-Advisory Agreements. At the 15(c) Meeting, the Board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the fund by the Sub-Adviser under the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board noted information received at regular meetings throughout the year related to the services rendered by the

33

INFORMATION ABOUT THE APPROVAL OF THE FUND'S NEW SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

Sub-Adviser to the fund, including the scope and quality of the investment management and other capabilities of the Sub-Adviser. Based on such considerations, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Sub-Adviser were adequate and appropriate.

At the June Meeting and July Meeting, the Board received and considered information regarding the fact that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the fund by the Sub-Adviser under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement or the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, respectively, would not change as a result of the Sub-Adviser’s new ownership structure. The Board Members discussed with management the portfolio management strategies of the fund’s portfolio managers and noted that there were currently no long-term or short-term plans to make changes to the management or investment policies, strategies or objective of the fund as a result of the Sub-Adviser’s new ownership structure. The Board Members considered the specific responsibilities in all aspects of the day-to-day management of the fund by the Sub-Adviser, and the fact that the persons responsible for portfolio management (with the exception of Mr. Fayez Sarofim) were anticipated to remain the same. The Board also considered that the division of responsibilities between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser would remain the same as it was under the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board Members also considered the financial resources available to the Sub-Adviser. At the July Meeting, the fund’s Chief Compliance Officer discussed the compliance infrastructure of the Sub-Adviser. The Board also discussed the acceptability of the terms of the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, respectively.

The Board concluded that the fund will continue to benefit from the quality and experience of the Sub-Adviser’s investment professionals that will continue to provide services to the fund. Based on its consideration and review of the foregoing information, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the sub-investment advisory services expected to be provided by the Sub-Adviser.

Fund Investment Performance. The Board Members considered the investment performance of the Sub-Adviser in managing the fund’s portfolio as a factor in evaluating the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. At the 15(c) Meeting, the Board received and reviewed reports prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data, which included information comparing the fund’s performance with the performance of a group of funds selected by Broadridge as comparable to the fund (the “Performance Group”) and with a broader group of funds, all for various periods. It was noted that, while the Board has found the Broadridge data generally useful, the Board Members recognized the limitations of such data, including that the data may vary depending on the end date selected and that the results of the performance comparisons may vary depending on the selection of the peer group and its composition over time. The Adviser also provided a comparison of the fund’s calendar year total returns to the returns of the fund’s benchmark index. The Board concluded that it was generally satisfied with the fund’s overall performance.

34

At the July Meeting, the Board reviewed updated reports prepared by Broadridge which included information comparing the fund’s performance with its Performance Group and Performance Universe, all for various periods ended May 31, 2022. The Board discussed with representatives of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser the results of the comparisons and considered the fund’s performance in light of overall financial market conditions. Where the fund’s total return performance was below the median during one or more specified periods, the Board noted the explanations from the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser concerning the fund’s relative performance versus the Performance Group or Performance Universe for such periods. Based on its review, the Board concluded that it continued to be generally satisfied with the fund’s historical performance under the Sub-Adviser’s management.

At the July Meeting, the Board Members discussed with representatives of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser that the investment strategies employed by the Sub-Adviser in the management of the fund’s assets are expected to remain the same under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Board also considered the fact that the persons responsible for portfolio management of the fund at the Sub-Adviser would remain (with the exception of Mr. Fayez Sarofim) the same. Based on its consideration and review of the foregoing, the Board concluded that these factors supported a decision to approve the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Sub-Advisory Fee and Expense Ratio. At the 15(c) Meeting, the Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee payable by the fund to the Adviser pursuant to the Management Agreement and the contractual sub-investment advisory fee payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser pursuant to the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the sub-investment advisory services provided by the Sub-Adviser. The Board considered the fee paid to the Sub-Adviser in relation to the fee paid to the Adviser by the fund and the respective services provided by the Sub-Adviser and the Adviser. The Board also reviewed reports prepared by Broadridge which included information comparing 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 (the “Expense Universe”), the information for which was derived in part from fund financial statements available to Broadridge as of the date of its analysis. The Board also reviewed the range of actual and contractual advisory fees and total expenses of the Expense Group and Expense Universe funds and discussed the results of the comparisons. The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Sub-Adviser were appropriate under the circumstances and in light of the factors and the totality of the services provided.

At the June Meeting and July Meeting, the Board considered the proposed fee payable under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, respectively, noting that the proposed fee would be the same as that payable under the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement for the fund and that the proposed fee would continue to be paid by the Adviser and, thus, would not impact the fees paid by the fund. At the July Meeting, the Board reviewed updated reports prepared by Broadridge which included information comparing the fund’s actual and contractual management fees and

35

INFORMATION ABOUT THE APPROVAL OF THE FUND'S NEW SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

total expenses with those of its Expense Group and Expense Universe, the information for which was derived in part from fund financial statements available to Broadridge as of the date of its analysis. The Board also reviewed the range of actual and contractual advisory fees and total expenses of the Expense Group and Expense Universe funds and discussed the results of the comparisons.

The Board determined that the advisory fees and other expenses were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the funds under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, respectively. The Board concluded that the fees payable to the Sub-Adviser under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement continued to be appropriate under the circumstances and in light of the factors and the totality of the services expected to be provided.

Profitability. At the 15(c) Meeting, the Board received and considered a profitability analysis of the Adviser and its affiliates in providing services to the fund, noting at the time that an analysis of profitability was more appropriate in the context of the Board’s consideration of the Management Agreement. The Adviser representatives 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.

At the June Meeting and July Meeting, the Board noted that the fee payable to the Sub-Adviser under the Prior Sub-Advisory Agreement was the same as that payable under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, respectively, and thus, no material impact to profitability with respect to the fund is expected as a result of the Sub-Adviser’s new ownership structure. Therefore, the Board determined that profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates should not be excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the fund under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement or the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. At the July Meeting, the Board received and considered a profitability analysis of the Sub-Adviser in providing services to the fund and concluded that the profitability results were not excessive, given the services and service levels expected to be provided by the Sub-Adviser under New Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Economies of Scale. At the 15(c) Meeting, the Board discussed any economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result from increases in the fund’s assets. The Board noted that there are various ways to share potential economies of scale with fund shareholders and that it appeared that the benefits of any economies of scale would be appropriately shared with shareholders.

At the June Meeting and July Meeting, the Board noted that no material impact to the analysis of economies of scale is expected as a result of the Sub-Adviser’s new ownership structure and that, to the extent in the future it were determined that material

36

economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund.

Other Benefits to the Sub-Adviser. At the 15(c) Meeting, the Board considered potential benefits to the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser from acting as investment adviser and sub-investment adviser, respectively, and took into consideration the soft dollar arrangements in effect for trading the fund’s investments. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser is required to select brokers who met the funds’ requirements for seeking best execution, and that the Adviser monitors and evaluates the Sub-Adviser’s trade execution with respect to fund brokerage transactions on a quarterly basis and provides reports to the Board on these matters. In light of the costs of providing investment management and other services to the fund and the Sub-Adviser’s commitment to the fund, any other ancillary benefits that the Sub-Adviser received were considered reasonable. At the June Meeting and July Meeting, the Board determined that any such ancillary benefits continued to be reasonable.

After full consideration of the factors discussed above, with no single factor identified as being of paramount importance, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, approved the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for the fund.
