About BYSAX
BNY Mellon Short Term Income Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund focused on short-duration, investment-grade fixed income. Its primary objective is to maximize total return through a blend of current income and modest capital appreciation, emphasizing preservation of principal and liquidity management for investors seeking lower interest-rate sensitivity. The portfolio typically invests predominantly in U.S. dollar–denominated, investment-grade bonds across sectors such as corporate credit, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, U.S. government and agency debt, and high-quality money market instruments. While centered on domestic issuers, the strategy allows measured exposure to foreign fixed-income securities within investment-grade parameters, adding diversification without materially increasing credit risk. Positioned as a core short-term bond holding, the fund aims to provide steadier income distributions with controlled volatility relative to intermediate and long-duration peers, supported by a diversified holdings count and an established track record since the early 1990s. Its role in portfolios often includes cash management, laddering within fixed income, and dampening overall portfolio fluctuations while maintaining daily liquidity and transparent net asset value pricing.
Performance
BYSAX had a total return of 6.12% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 7.88%.
