About DWOAX
BNY Mellon Research Growth Fund, Inc. Class A is an actively managed mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital growth while maintaining a strong commitment to the preservation of capital. Current income is considered a secondary objective. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities issued by U.S. companies, but it also has the flexibility to allocate up to 25% of its assets to foreign securities, broadening its global exposure. The portfolio typically includes common stocks, preferred stocks, and convertible securities, with occasional participation in initial public offerings. Employing a rigorous bottom-up investment approach, the fund's management team emphasizes companies with leading positions in their respective industries and seeks out catalysts for potential price appreciation, such as corporate restructurings or management changes. Diversification and stock selection are driven by detailed fundamental analysis, with a preference toward growth-oriented companies. Established in 1972 and managed by BNY Mellon's asset management division, this fund is recognized in the large growth category and serves investors seeking a disciplined, research-driven strategy for long-term portfolio appreciation.
