About DQEIX
The BNY Mellon Global Equity Income Fund Class I is an open-end mutual fund that focuses on generating income and long-term capital appreciation through investments in global equities. The fund primarily targets dividend-paying stocks from companies located in developed capital markets, including the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, and Western Europe. It can also allocate up to 30% of its assets to emerging markets, offering broad geographic diversification within its portfolio.
The fund follows a large-cap value investment style, generally investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities. Its holdings are concentrated in sectors such as healthcare, financial services, technology, utilities, and consumer defensive, as reflected in its top positions like Sanofi SA, CME Group, Dominion Energy, and Cisco Systems. The objective is to maintain consistent income, evidenced by a trailing twelve-month yield of around 2.8%.
Aimed at institutional investors, the fund is valued for its low volatility and risk-managed approach, often exhibiting limited losses during market downturns but potentially lagging in strong bull markets. Managed by Newton Investment Management, an affiliate of BNY Mellon, the fund plays a significant role in global income strategies for diversified portfolios.
