* For BNY Mellon Global Funds, plc, none of the sub-funds which are recognised schemes in Singapore constitute ESG Funds (as defined in the MAS’s Circular No. CFC 02/2022), except for BNY Mellon Sustainable Global Emerging Markets Fund. Other funds which are not registered for offering to retail investors may or may not constitute ESG funds (where defined in the relevant local jurisdiction).

BNY Mellon Investment Management aims to enhance real value over a longer time frame. Guided by a clear and consistent investment philosophy and backed by a proven research process, we use a stockcentric approach to manage global equities.

We have an extensive track record of identifying world-class companies that have the potential to deliver sustained earnings growth over the long term. Unconstrained by benchmark restrictions, we have the flexibility to analyse businesses that are most likely to meet our stringent investment criteria and standards, regardless of geography or industry.

This results in a focused portfolio of between 40 and 60 companies.

Each holding undergoes detailed in-house analysis. While our primary sources of information are company reports and audited financial statements, we also actively engage with investee companies, establishing a dialogue and making frequent trips to meet their management teams, as well as competitors.

Aided by our investment horizon, our holdings have ample time to realise their potential. This ensures that our investee companies are more likely to sustainably grow their earnings while benefiting the Fund as it compounds returns over the longer term.

Ultimately, we aim to offer investors access to a distinctive return profile and seek to capture opportunities in different underlying market conditions. Whilst no company is entirely immune to the unpredictability of the global economy, our approach is designed to identify those companies with promising financial profiles and robust business models that are likely to demonstrate greater longterm resilience.

We believe that the integrated analysis of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) related factors are essential, regardless of a client’s investment objective. In our view, an investee company’s sustainability profile is not divorced from other analytical factors. It must form part of our research due to its potential impact on shareprice performance.
