BNY Mellon Core Plus ETF

The BNY Mellon Core Plus ETF aims to deliver robust total returns while simultaneously safeguarding capital. To achieve this, the fund predominantly allocates its investments to a diverse array of fixed-income instruments. This encompasses sovereign debt, corporate bonds issued by both U.S. and international entities, as well as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. At the time of purchase, the majority of the fund's bond holdings possess an investment-grade rating (equivalent to Baa3/BBB- or higher), or are determined by the sub-adviser to be of comparable quality if unrated. Nonetheless, the fund retains the flexibility to invest a maximum of 25% of its net assets in bonds rated below investment grade – commonly referred to as "high yield" or "junk" bonds – or their unrated equivalents, as assessed by the sub-adviser at the point of acquisition. As an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF), it offers investors the convenience of intra-day trading, allowing for purchases and sales whenever the market is open.
