DIAVX Investment Objective and Strategy
BNY Mellon Inflation Adjusted Securities Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by BNY Mellon Investment Funds VII, Inc..
Investment objective
The fund seeks returns that exceed the rate of inflation.
Principal investment strategy
"To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in inflation-indexed securities. These are fixed-income securities designed to protect investors from a loss of value due to inflation by periodically adjusting their principal and/or coupon according to the rate of inflation. The inflation-indexed securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and some foreign government issuers, for example, accrue inflation into the principal value of the bond. Other issuers may pay out the Consumer Price Index accruals as part of a semi-annual coupon. The fund primarily invests in high quality, U.S. dollar-denominated, inflation-indexed securities. To a limited extent, the fund may invest in foreign currency-denominated, inflation-protected securities and other fixed-income securities not adjusted for inflation which are rated investment grade or the unrated equivalent as determined by The Dreyfus Corporation.
Such other fixed-income securities may include: U.S. government bonds and notes, corporate bonds, mortgage-related securities and asset-backed securities. The fund seeks to keep the average effective duration of its portfolio at two to ten years. The fund may invest in individual fixed-income securities of any maturity or duration. The fund may adjust its portfolio holdings or average effective duration based on actual or anticipated changes in interest rates or credit quality. A bond's maturity is the length of time until the principal must be fully repaid with interest. Duration is an indication of an investment's ""interest rate risk,"" or how sensitive a bond or the fund's portfolio may be to changes in interest rates."
