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. 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:

Expense Example - BNY Mellon Worldwide Growth Fund, Inc. - USD ($)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class A	684	913	1,161	1,871
Class C	293	597	1,026	2,222
Class I	95	296	515	1,143
Class Y	84	262	455	1,014

Expense Example No Redemption - BNY Mellon Worldwide Growth Fund, Inc. - USD ($)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years

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 8.87% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy

To pursue its goals, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in the common stock of U.S. and foreign companies. The fund focuses on "blue chip" multinational companies with total market values of more than $5 billion. These are large, established, globally managed companies that manufacture and distribute their products and services throughout the world.

In choosing stocks, the fund's sub-adviser, Fayez Sarofim & Co., LLC, first identifies economic sectors that it believes will expand over the next three to five years or longer. Using fundamental analysis, the fund's sub-adviser then seeks companies within these sectors that have demonstrated sustained patterns of profitability, strong balance sheets, an expanding global presence and the potential to achieve predictable, above-average earnings growth. As a supplement to its primarily qualitative approach to risk, the fund's sub-adviser utilizes attribution software and equity risk factor models to conduct scenario analysis to enhance its understanding and management of the risk profile of the fund's portfolio.

Under normal circumstances, at least 40% of the fund's assets will be invested in companies that have significant exposure to the economies of countries other than the United States. These are companies that are organized or domiciled in a foreign country or have at least 50% of their assets outside the U.S. or at least 50% of their revenues or profits are from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed outside the United States. These companies may be subject to the risks that are involved in investing in foreign securities. The fund also invests in U.S. dollar-denominated American Depositary Receipts (ADRs).

The fund employs a "buy-and-hold" investment strategy, which is an investment strategy characterized by a low portfolio turnover rate, which helps reduce the fund's trading costs and minimizes tax liability by limiting the distribution of capital gains.

The fund typically sells a stock when the fund's sub-adviser believes there is a significant adverse change in the company's business fundamentals that may lead to a sustained impairment in earnings power.

Principal Risks

Performance

The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the fund's Class A shares from year to year. 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. The table compares the average annual total returns of the fund's shares to those of a broad measure of market performance. The fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the fund will perform in the future. Performance for each share class will vary due to differences in expenses. More recent performance information may be available at www.im.bnymellon.com.

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.
