About PEOPX
The BNY Mellon S&P 500 Index Fund is a mutual fund designed to replicate the performance of the S&P 500 Index, a widely recognized benchmark representing 500 leading companies across major sectors of the U.S. economy. Its primary function is to provide broad exposure to the U.S. large-cap equity market by investing in all, or substantially all, of the stocks included in the S&P 500 in proportion to their weights within the index. This makes the fund a large blend offering, capturing both growth and value characteristics across diverse industries such as technology, consumer, healthcare, financials, and communication services. The fund is managed with a passive investment approach, meaning its portfolio changes only as the S&P 500's composition shifts, contributing to a relatively low turnover rate. Noted for its cost efficiency, the fund offers a competitive expense ratio and maintains a cost advantage over many peers in its category. With over $2 billion in assets, the fund is significant for investors seeking to mirror the overall performance of the U.S. equity market in a single, diversified investment vehicle. Established in 1989, it has become a foundational component in many portfolios focused on long-term market participation.
