About MPBFX

BNY Mellon Bond Fund Class M is an actively managed mutual fund focused on intermediate-term, investment-grade fixed income securities. The fund primarily seeks to achieve a total return that combines capital appreciation with current income, allocating at least 80% of its net assets to a broad range of bonds, including U.S. government, corporate, and securitized debt instruments. It emphasizes maintaining high credit quality and moderate interest rate sensitivity, with an effective duration close to that of similar core bond funds. Positioned within the intermediate core bond category, the fund is designed to offer diversified exposure to the U.S. bond market while limiting below-investment-grade holdings to less than 5% of assets. Its portfolio typically features a significant allocation to U.S. Treasury securities and other high-quality government-related instruments. Managed by an experienced investment team since 2005, the fund aims to provide a stable income stream and measured capital growth, serving as a foundational fixed income component for investors seeking balanced risk and return within their portfolios.
