BNY Mellon Income Stock Fund | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fund Summary | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Investment Objective | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The fund seeks total return (consisting of capital appreciation and income).
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fees and Expenses | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in the fund or certain funds in the Dreyfus Family of Funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial professional and in the Shareholder Guide section beginning on page 12 of the prospectus and in the How to Buy Shares section beginning on page III-1 of the fund's Statement of Additional Information.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Example | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Portfolio Turnover | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 65.75% of the average value of its portfolio.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Principal Investment Strategy | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in stocks. The fund seeks to focus on dividend-paying stocks and other investments and investment techniques that provide income. The investment adviser chooses stocks through a disciplined investment process that combines computer modeling techniques, fundamental analysis and risk management. The fund emphasizes those stocks with value characteristics, although it may also purchase growth stocks. The fund may invest in the stocks of companies of any size, although it focuses on large-cap companies. The fund's investment process is designed to provide investors with investment exposure to sector weightings and risk characteristics generally similar to those of the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index SM (Dow Jones Index), but allocations may differ from those of the Dow Jones Index. The fund invests primarily in common stocks but also may invest up to 10% of its assets in convertible securities and up to 10% of its assets in preferred stocks.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Principal Risks | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit. It is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. It is not a complete investment program. The fund's share price fluctuates, sometimes dramatically, which means you could lose money.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Performance | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The bar chart shows the performance of the fund's Class A shares from year to year. The table compares the average annual total returns of the fund's Class A, Class C, Class I and Class Y shares to those of the Dow Jones Index, which is comprised of 100 of the highest dividend-yielding securities in the Dow Jones U.S. Index SM , a broad-based index that is representative of the total U.S. equity market. The fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the fund will perform in the future. Sales charges, if any, are not reflected in the bar chart, and if those charges were included, returns would have been less than those shown. More recent performance information may be available at www.dreyfus.com . The historical performance of the fund's Class M shares, which are not offered in this prospectus, is used to calculate the performance of the fund's shares shown in the bar chart and table. Since Class A, Class C, Class I and Class Y shares are new, past performance information is not available for those classes of shares as of the date of this prospectus. All of the fund's share classes invest in the same portfolio of securities. Performance for each share class will vary from the performance of the fund's other share classes due to differences in charges and expenses. The performance figures shown have not been adjusted to reflect differences in service and distribution fees; if these expenses had been reflected, the performance shown would have been lower. After-tax performance is shown only for Class A shares (adjusted to reflect the sales load applicable to the fund's Class A shares) and is calculated based on the fund's Class M performance using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. After-tax performance of the fund's other share classes will vary. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown, and the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their shares through U.S. tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.
