To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of small cap companies. The fund currently considers small cap companies to be those companies with market capitalizations that are equal to or less than the market capitalization of the largest company included in the Russell 2000^® Index. As of November 30, 2025, the market capitalization of the largest company in the Russell 2000^® Index was approximately $30.5 billion, and the weighted average and median market capitalizations of the Russell 2000^® Index were approximately $4.7 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. The fund normally allocates its assets among multiple investment strategies employed by BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (BNYIA) and its affiliates that invest primarily in equity securities issued by small cap companies. The fund is designed to provide exposure to various small cap equity portfolio managers and investment strategies and styles. The fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in the equity securities of foreign issuers.

BNYIA determines the investment strategies and sets the target allocations and ranges. The investment strategies and the fund's targets and ranges (expressed as a percentage of the fund's investable assets) for allocating its assets among the investment strategies as of the date of this prospectus were as follows:


Investment Strategy	Target	Range
Small Cap Value Strategy	50%	0% to 100%
Small Cap Growth Strategy	50%	0% to 100%

BNYIA has the discretion to change the investment strategies and the target allocations and ranges when BNYIA deems it appropriate without notice to or approval by shareholders. The investment strategies are employed by Newton Investment Management North America, LLC (NIMNA), an affiliate of BNYIA.

The portion of the fund's assets allocated to the Small Cap Value Strategy normally is invested primarily in equity securities of small cap value companies. In constructing this portion of the fund's portfolio, NIMNA employs a value-based investment style, which means that it seeks to identify those companies with stocks trading at prices below what are believed to be their intrinsic value. NIMNA focuses primarily on individual stock selection for the Small Cap Value Strategy instead of trying to predict which industries or sectors will perform best. The stock selection process is designed to produce a diversified portfolio of companies that the sub-adviser believes are undervalued relative to expected business growth, with the presence of a catalyst (such as a corporate restructuring, change in management or spin-off) that will trigger a near-term or mid-term price increase.

The portion of the fund's assets allocated to the Small Cap Growth Strategy normally is invested primarily in equity securities of small cap companies with favorable growth prospects. In constructing this portion of the fund's portfolio, NIMNA employs a growth-oriented investment style, which means it seeks to identify those small cap companies which are experiencing or are expected to experience rapid earnings or revenue growth. NIMNA looks for high quality companies for the Small Cap Growth Strategy, especially those with products or services that are believed to be leaders in their market niches. NIMNA focuses on individual stock selection instead of trying to predict which industries or sectors will perform best.

To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of foreign issuers. Foreign issuers are companies organized under the laws of a foreign country, whose principal trading market is in a foreign country or with a majority of their assets or business outside the United States. The fund may invest in

companies of any market capitalization. Though not specifically limited, the fund ordinarily will invest in a broad range of (and in any case at least five different) countries. The fund may, from time to time, invest a significant portion (more than 20%) of its total assets in securities of issuers in a single country. The fund will limit its investments in any single company to no more than 5% of the fund's net assets at the time of purchase.

The stocks purchased may have value and/or growth characteristics. The fund's sub-adviser, Newton Investment Management North America, LLC (NIMNA), an affiliate of BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (BNYIA), employs a bottom-up investment approach which emphasizes individual stock selection.

The stock selection process is designed to produce a diversified portfolio that, relative to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe, Australasia and Far East (EAFE) Index, has a below-average price/earnings ratio and an above-average earnings growth trend.

The fund typically sells a stock when, in the view of the fund's sub-adviser, it appears less likely to benefit from the current market and economic environment, shows deteriorating fundamentals or declining momentum, or falls short of the expectations of the fund's sub-adviser.

To pursue its goal, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies organized, or with a majority of assets or operations, in countries considered to be emerging

markets. Emerging market countries generally include all countries represented by the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Emerging Markets Index. The fund's portfolio allocations, sector weightings and risk characteristics are a result of bottom-up fundamental analysis and may vary from those of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index at any given time. Normally, the fund will invest in companies in a broad range of (and in any case at least five different) emerging market countries and may invest in companies of any market capitalization. The stocks purchased for the fund may have value and/or growth characteristics.

The fund's sub-adviser, Newton Investment Management Limited (NIM), an affiliate of BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (BNYIA), employs a bottom-up investment approach which emphasizes individual stock selection. In selecting stocks for the fund's portfolio, the fund's sub-adviser considers the qualitative and quantitative attributes of companies within the emerging markets investment universe, including governance standards, long term growth outlook, business franchise quality, pricing power, returns on invested capital and financial leverage. The stock selection process is designed to produce a diversified portfolio of equity securities perceived by the fund's sub-adviser to have attractive quality and growth characteristics and priced at a level that offers an attractive risk-reward profile for investors. The fund may overweight or underweight certain emerging market countries, companies, industries or market sectors relative to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. In addition, the fund may, from time to time, invest a significant portion (more than 20%) of its total assets in securities of companies in certain sectors or located in particular emerging market countries. As of the date of this prospectus, the fund expects to have significant exposure to securities of companies in China, India, South Korea and Taiwan and to securities of companies in the information technology sector.

The fund typically sells a stock when the fund's sub-adviser determines the attributes of the business have fundamentally deteriorated relative to their previously held view, or when developments (including stock price moves) have caused the risk-reward profile of the investment to have fundamentally deteriorated.

To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in bonds. The fund's sub-adviser, Insight North America LLC (INA), an affiliate of BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (BNYIA), actively manages the fund's bond market and maturity exposure and credit profile and uses a disciplined process to select bonds and manage risk. The process includes computer modeling and scenario testing of possible changes in market conditions. The fund's sub-adviser will use other techniques in an attempt to manage market risk and duration.

The fund's investments in bonds must be rated investment grade (i.e., Baa/BBB or higher) at the time of purchase or, if unrated, deemed of comparable quality by the fund's sub-adviser. Investments in bonds may include government securities, corporate bonds, mortgage-related securities and municipal securities. Generally, the average effective duration of the fund's portfolio will not exceed eight years. Because of events affecting the bond markets and interest

rate changes, the duration of the portfolio might not meet the foregoing target at all times. The fund may invest in individual bonds of any duration. There are no restrictions on the dollar-weighted average maturity of the fund's portfolio or on the maturities of the individual bonds the fund may purchase. A bond's maturity is the length of time until the principal must be fully repaid with interest. Dollar-weighted average maturity is an average of the stated maturities of the securities held by the fund, based on their dollar-weighted proportions in the fund. Duration is an indication of an investment's "interest rate risk," or how sensitive a bond or the fund's portfolio may be to changes in interest rates.

The fund may use derivative instruments as a substitute for investing directly in an underlying asset, to increase returns, to manage interest rate risk, to manage the effective duration or maturity of the fund's portfolio, or as part of a hedging strategy. The derivative instruments in which the fund may invest typically include options, futures and options on futures (including those relating to securities, indices and interest rates).

The fund typically sells a security when the fund's sub-adviser believes that there has been a negative change in the credit quality of the issuer or has identified a more attractive opportunity or when the sub-adviser seeks to manage the fund's duration or tax position or to provide liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal bonds that provide income exempt from federal and Massachusetts state personal income taxes. These municipal bonds include those issued by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as well as those issued by territories and possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, or multistate agencies and authorities.

The fund's investments in municipal and taxable bonds must be rated investment grade (i.e., Baa/BBB or higher) at the time of purchase or, if unrated, deemed of comparable quality by the fund's sub-adviser, Insight North America LLC (INA), an affiliate of BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (BNYIA). Generally, the fund's average effective portfolio

maturity will be between three and ten years and the average effective duration of the fund's portfolio will not exceed eight years. Because of events affecting the bond markets and interest rate changes, the maturity and duration of the portfolio might not meet the foregoing targets at all times. The fund may invest in individual municipal and taxable bonds of any maturity or duration. A bond's maturity is the length of time until the principal must be fully repaid with interest. Average effective portfolio maturity is an average of the maturities of bonds held by the fund directly and the bonds underlying derivative instruments entered into by the fund, if any, adjusted to reflect provisions or market conditions that may cause a bond's principal to be repaid earlier than at its stated maturity. Duration is an indication of an investment's "interest rate risk," or how sensitive a bond or the fund's portfolio may be to changes in interest rates.

Although the fund seeks to provide income exempt from federal and Massachusetts state income taxes, income from some of the fund's holdings may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

The fund's sub-adviser focuses on identifying undervalued sectors and securities. To select municipal bonds for the fund, the fund's sub-adviser uses fundamental credit analysis to estimate the relative value and attractiveness of various sectors and securities and to exploit pricing inefficiencies in the municipal bond market. The fund's sub-adviser actively trades among various sectors and securities based on their apparent relative values. The fund seeks to invest in several different sectors and may overweight a particular sector depending on each sector's relative value at a given time.

The fund typically sells a security when the fund's sub-adviser believes that there has been a negative change in the credit quality of the issuer or has identified a more attractive opportunity or when the sub-adviser seeks to manage the fund's duration or tax position or to provide liquidity to meet shareholder redemptions.

The fund may invest in both individual securities and other investment companies, including other series of BNY Mellon Funds Trust (the Trust), funds in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds and unaffiliated open-end funds, closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds (referred to below as the "underlying funds"), which in turn may invest directly in the asset classes described below. To pursue its goal, the fund currently intends to allocate its assets, directly and/or through investment in the underlying funds, to gain investment exposure to the following asset classes: Large Cap Equities, Small Cap and Mid Cap Equities, Developed International and Global Equities, Emerging Markets Equities, Investment Grade Bonds, High Yield Bonds, Emerging Markets Debt, Diversifying Strategies and Money Market Instruments.

BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (BNYIA) allocates the fund's investments (directly and/or through investment in the underlying funds) among these asset classes using fundamental and quantitative analysis, and its outlook for the economy and financial markets. BNYIA has engaged its affiliate, Insight North America LLC (INA), to serve as a sub-adviser responsible for the portion of the fund's assets allocated to direct investments in fixed-income securities. The underlying funds are selected by BNYIA based on their investment objectives and management policies, portfolio holdings, risk/reward profiles, historical performance, and other factors, including the correlation and covariance among the underlying funds. The fund may change the underlying funds – whether affiliated or unaffiliated – from time to time without notice to or approval by fund shareholders. The fund may invest directly in the equity securities of large-cap companies (generally those with total market capitalizations of $5 billion or more) and in fixed-income securities rated investment grade (i.e., Baa/BBB or higher) or, if unrated, deemed to be of comparable quality by INA, at the time of purchase.

The fund is not required to maintain exposure to any particular asset class and BNYIA determines whether to invest in a particular asset class and whether to invest directly in securities or through an underlying fund, and sets the target allocations. The asset classes and the fund's targets and ranges (expressed as a percentage of the fund's investable assets) for allocating its assets among the asset classes, and the underlying funds selected by BNYIA as fund investment options as of the date of this prospectus were as follows:


Asset Class	Target	Range
Large Cap Equities Direct Investments BNY Mellon Appreciation Fund, Inc. BNY Mellon Research Growth Fund, Inc. BNY Mellon Dynamic Value Fund	45%	20% to 60%
Small Cap and Mid Cap Equities BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund BNY Mellon US Small Cap Core Equity ETF BNY Mellon US Mid Cap Core Equity ETF	7%	0% to 20%

Developed International and Global Equities BNY Mellon International Fund BNY Mellon International Equity Fund BNY Mellon Global Stock Fund BNY Mellon International Stock Fund BNY Mellon Developed Markets Real Estate Securities Fund	8%	0% to 20%
Emerging Markets Equities BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund BNY Mellon Global Emerging Markets Fund	4%	0% to 20%
Investment Grade Bonds Direct Investments BNY Mellon Ultra Short Income ETF Unaffiliated Investment Company	27%	15% to 55%


Asset Class	Target	Range
High Yield Bonds BNY Mellon High Yield Fund BNY Mellon Floating Rate Income Fund	3%	0% to 10%
Emerging Markets Debt Unaffiliated Investment Company	0%	0% to 10%
Diversifying Strategies Unaffiliated Investment Companies	5%	0% to 20%
Money Market Instruments Direct Investments	1%	0% to 10%

The asset classes and the target weightings and ranges have been selected for investment over longer time periods based on BNYIA's expectation that the selected securities and underlying funds, in combination, will be appropriate to achieve the fund's investment objective. The target weightings will deviate over the short term because of market movements and fund cash flows. If appreciation or depreciation in the value of selected securities or an underlying fund's shares causes the percentage of the fund's assets invested in an asset class to fall outside the applicable investment range, BNYIA will consider whether to reallocate the fund's assets, but is not required to do so. BNYIA normally considers reallocating the fund's investments at least quarterly, but may do so more often in response to market conditions. Any changes to the asset classes, underlying funds or the allocation weightings may be implemented over a reasonable period of time. BNYIA has the discretion to change the asset classes, whether to invest directly in securities or through an underlying fund, and the target allocations and ranges, without shareholder approval or prior notice, when BNYIA deems it appropriate. To the extent an underlying fund offers multiple classes of shares, the fund will purchase shares of the class with the lowest expense ratio and without a sales load or distribution and/or service fee.
