REPORT

This report describes changes to the Fund that occurred during the reporting period.

What were the Fund’s costs for the last year ?

(based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)

Share Class	Costs of a $10,000 investment	Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment
Class M^*	$59	0.55%

*	During the period, fees were waived and/or expenses reimbursed pursuant to an agreement with the Fund’s investment adviser, BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. If this agreement is not extended in the future, expenses could be higher.

How did the Fund perform last year ?

For the 12-month period ended August 31, 2026, the Fund’s Class M shares returned 14.11%.
In comparison, the Morningstar Moderate Target Risk Index (the “Index”) returned 13.41% for the same period.

What affected the Fund’s performance?

Global equities advanced broadly across regions on resilient economic growth, strong corporate earnings and AI enthusiasm. Global bonds gained modest ground as interest income offset the impact of higher yields.
The strongest contributors to the Fund’s performance relative to the Index included large-cap equities, led by direct equities, followed by emerging-market equities and then global equities.
Core bonds were the most significant detractor from relative performance, led by direct fixed income, followed by high-yield bonds, including floating-rate bonds.

How did the Fund perform over the past 10 years?

The Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund’s future performance. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares.

Share Class	Costs of a $10,000 investment	Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment
Class M	$62	0.62%

How did the Fund perform last year ?

For the 12-month period ended August 31, 2026, the Fund’s Class M shares returned 1.29%.
In comparison, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”) returned 1.89% for the same period.

What affected the Fund’s performance?

Despite higher interest rates, bond markets delivered positive total returns. Risk assets also performed well, supported by a strong labor market and a favorable domestic economic outlook.
The strongest contributors to the Fund’s performance relative to the Index included overweight allocations to corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and non-agency mortgage-backed securities.
Within the corporate bond sector, overweight positions in banks, energy and finance companies were beneficial, as was security selection favoring non-traditional asset-backed securities sectors.
Overweight exposure to agency mortgage-backed securities detracted from relative performance, as did overweight duration positioning and underweight exposure to emerging markets.
Among corporate bonds, allocations to the communications and technology sectors further detracted.

How has the Fund changed?

The Board of Trustees of BNY Mellon Funds Trust (the “Trust”) and shareholders have approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of BNY Mellon International Fund (the “Fund”), and BNY Mellon ETF Trust II, on behalf of BNY Mellon Active International Equity ETF (the “Acquiring ETF”). The Fund, which is currently operated as a mutual fund, will be converted into an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) through its reorganization with and into the Acquiring ETF. Accordingly, the Fund will transfer its assets to the Acquiring ETF, in exchange for whole shares of the Acquiring ETF and the assumption by the Acquiring ETF of the Fund’s liabilities. The Fund is expected to be converted from a mutual fund to an ETF on or about December 11, 2026. For more information, please refer to prospectus/proxy statement filed July 29, 2026.

Changes in or Disagreements with Accountants

On October 20, 2026 shareholders approved the Reorganization of the Fund, which will result in Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) becoming the independent registered public accounting firm of the Fund. On that date, KPMG LLP was discharged as the Fund’s accounting firm subject to completion of the August 31, 2026 fiscal year audit, which occurred on October 29, 2026. EY serves as the independent registered public accounting firm for all funds in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds. There were no disagreements with the former accounting firm during the Fund’s fiscal years ended August 31, 2026 and August 31, 2025 and the subsequent interim period through October 29, 2026.

This is a summary of certain changes to the Fund since September 1, 2025 .

You can find additional information about the Fund at bny.com/investments/us/en/intermediary/products/bny-mellon.html.

This report describes changes to the Fund that occurred during the reporting period.

(based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)

Share Class	Costs of a $10,000 investment	Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment
Class M	$69	0.68%

How did the Fund perform last year ?

For the 12-month period ended August 31, 2026, the Fund’s Class M shares returned 2.54%.
In comparison, the Bloomberg Municipal 3-15 Years Blend Index returned 2.72% for the same period.

What affected the Fund’s performance?

Intermediate municipal bonds were pressured by rising Treasury yields and elevated new issuance but ended the period roughly flat, supported by strong demand for tax-exempt income.
The strongest contributors to the Fund’s relative performance included allocation and curve positioning in the 2029–2035 maturity range and credit-quality positioning in securities rated A and Baa.
Sector allocation also contributed, particularly the Fund’s overweight exposure to higher-education bonds.
The most significant detractors from relative performance included the Fund’s exposure to the 10–15 year maturity range, where heavy new-issue supply and weaker demand pressured valuations.
Duration positioning also detracted modestly late in the period, as the Fund’s average duration extended slightly, increasing sensitivity to rising municipal yields.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The following tables describe the performance for each share class for the fiscal periods indicated. All information (except portfolio turnover rate) reflects financial results for a single fund share. Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, and redemption at net asset value on the last day of the period. Net asset value total return includes adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for financial reporting purposes and the returns based upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and returns for shareholder transactions.

NIM, located at 160 Queen Victoria Street, London, EC4V, 4LA, England, was formed in 1978. NIM has entered into a sub-sub-investment advisory agreement with its affiliate, NIMNA, which enables NIMNA to provide certain advisory services to NIM for the benefit of the funds, including, but not limited to, portfolio management services. NIMNA is subject to the supervision of the NIM and the Adviser. Effective October 1, 2025, the Adviser has engaged its affiliate, Insight North America LLC (“INA”), to serve as the sub-adviser to BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund. INA is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY and is registered in the United States with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser. INA’s principal office is located at 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166.

BNY Mellon Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is the distributor of each fund’s shares, which are sold without a sales charge. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class M and Investor. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to the shareholder services plan fee and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series of the Trust are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Each fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the FASB ASC Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. Each fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The funds do not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value each fund’s investments are as follows:

Investments in debt securities and instruments generally will be valued, to the extent possible, by one or more independent pricing services (the “Service”). When, in the judgment of the Service, quoted bid prices for investments are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market, these investments are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). The value of other debt securities and instruments is determined by the Service based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. The Services are engaged under the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Overnight and certain other short-term debt securities and instruments (excluding Treasury bills) will be valued by the amortized cost method, which approximates fair value, unless a Service provides a valuation for such security or, in the opinion of the board or a committee or other persons designated by the Board, such as the Adviser, the amortized cost method would not represent fair value. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Equity investments, including ETFs (but not including investments in other open-end registered investment companies), generally are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities primarily are traded. Securities listed on Nasdaq markets generally will be valued at the official closing price. If there are no transactions in a security, or no official closing prices for a Nasdaq market-listed security on that day, the security will be valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Open short positions for which there is no sale price on a given day are valued at the lowest asked price. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their reported net asset values (“NAVs”) each day. All of the preceding securities are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair value of foreign equity securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using correlations between the movement of prices of foreign securities and indexes of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as closing market prices of relevant ADRs and futures contracts. The valuation of a security based on this fair value process may differ from the security’s most recent closing price and from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their NAVs. Foreign securities held by a fund may trade on days when the fund does not calculate its NAV and thus may affect the fund’s NAV on days when investors will not be able to purchase or sell (redeem) fund shares. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Restricted securities, as well as securities or other assets for which recent market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value (such as when the value of a security has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the funds calculate their NAV), or which are not valued by one or more independent pricing services, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith based on procedures approved by the Board. Fair value of investments is determined by the Adviser, as the funds’ valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act, using such information as it deems appropriate under the circumstances. The factors that may be considered when fair valuing a security include fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. Using fair value to price investments may result in a

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their NAVs. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.

Market quotations of foreign securities in foreign currencies and any fund assets or liabilities initially expressed in terms of foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the spot rate.

Futures contracts will be valued at the most recent settlement price and are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2026 in valuing each fund’s investments:

††	Transfer out of Level 3 represents the value at the date of transfer. The transfer out of Level 3 for the current period were due to additional observable inputs.

(b) Foreign currency transactions: Each relevant fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized on securities transactions between trade and settlement date, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments resulting from changes in exchange rates. Foreign currency gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are also included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Foreign taxes: Each fund may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, realized and unrealized capital gains on investments or certain foreign currency transactions. Foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the funds and are reflected in the Statements of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred or those subject to reclaims as of August 31, 2026, if any, are disclosed in the funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

(c) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with BNY, the funds may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the funds’ policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Adviser, or U.S. Government and Agency securities. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold or re-pledged by the funds, except in the event of borrower default, and is not reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The securities on loan, if any, are also disclosed in each fund’s Schedules of Investments. The funds are entitled to receive all dividends, interest and distributions on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner, BNY is required to replace the securities for the benefit of the funds or credit the funds with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the funds’ rights against the borrower and the collateral. Additionally, the contractual maturity of security lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. The table below summarizes the amount BNY earned from each relevant fund from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement during the period ended August 31, 2026.

Securities Lending Agreement ($)
BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund	2,562
BNY Mellon International Fund	506
BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund	734
BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund	1,031

For financial reporting purposes, each relevant fund elects not to offset assets and liabilities subject to a securities lending agreement, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Therefore, all qualifying transactions are presented on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of August 31, 2026, each relevant fund had securities lending and the impact of netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received, if any, based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the securities lending agreement are detailed in the following tables. As of August 31, 2026, BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund and BNY Mellon International Fund had no securities on loan.

securities lending.

(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Adviser are considered “affiliated” under the Act.

(e) Market Risk: The value of the securities in which each fund invests may be affected by political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed-income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect each fund. Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies world-wide. Local, regional or global events such as war, military conflicts, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, elevated levels of government debt, changes in trade regulation or economic sanctions, internal unrest and discord, or other events could have a significant impact on the fund and its investments.

Foreign Investment Risk: To the extent each fund invests in foreign securities, each fund’s performance will be influenced by political, social and economic factors affecting investments in foreign issuers. Special risks associated with investments in foreign issuers include exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political and economic instability and differing auditing and legal standards.

Emerging Market Risk: The securities of issuers located or doing substantial business in emerging market countries tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the securities of issuers located in countries with more mature economies. Emerging markets generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Investments in these countries may be subject to political, economic, legal, market and currency risks. Special risks associated with investments in emerging market issuers may include a lack of publicly available information, a lack of uniform disclosure, accounting and financial reporting and recordkeeping standards and limited investor protections applicable in developed economies. The risks also may include unpredictable political and economic policies, the imposition of capital controls and/or foreign investment limitations by a country, nationalization of businesses and the imposition of sanctions or restrictions on certain investments by other countries, such as the United States.

Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF”) And Other Investment Company Risk: To the extent each relevant fund invests in pooled investment vehicles, such as ETFs and other investment companies, each relevant fund will be affected by the investment policies, practices and performance of such entities proportion to the amount of assets each relevant fund has invested therein. The risks of investing in other investment companies, including ETFs, typically reflect the risks associated with the types of instruments in which the investment companies invest. When each relevant fund invests in an ETF or other investment company, shareholders of the fund will bear indirectly their proportionate share of the expenses of the ETF or other investment company (including management fees) in addition to the expenses of each relevant fund. ETFs are exchange-traded investment companies that are, in many cases, designed to provide investment results corresponding to an index. The value of the underlying securities can fluctuate in response to activities of individual companies or in response to general market and/or economic conditions. Additional risks of investments in ETFs include: (i) the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value; (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained; or (iii) trading may be halted if the listing exchanges’ officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts trading generally. The fund will incur brokerage costs when purchasing and selling shares of ETFs.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Interest Rate Risk: Prices of bonds and other fixed rate fixed-income securities tend to move inversely with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in rates will adversely affect fixed-income securities and, accordingly, will cause the value of each fund’s investments in these securities to decline. A wide variety of market factors can cause interest rates to rise, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation and changes in general economic conditions. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase (or decrease) interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such changes. During periods of very low interest rates, which occur from time to time due to market forces or actions of governments and/or their central banks, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in the U.S., each fund may be subject to a greater risk of principal decline from rising interest rates. When interest rates fall, each fund’s investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce each fund’s income. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from fund performance. The magnitude of these fluctuations in the market price of fixed-income securities is generally greater for securities with longer effective maturities and durations because such instruments do not mature, reset interest rates or become callable for longer periods of time.

Fixed-Income Market Risk: The market value of a fixed-income security may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity. Liquidity can decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity may be caused by a rise in interest rates (or the expectation of a rise in interest rates). An unexpected increase in each relevant fund’s redemption requests, including requests from shareholders who may own a significant percentage in each relevant fund’s shares, which may be triggered by market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, could cause each relevant fund to sell its holdings at a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely affect each relevant fund’s share price and increase each relevant fund’s liquidity risk, fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. Federal Reserve policy in response to market conditions, including with respect to interest rates, may adversely affect the value, volatility and liquidity of dividend and interest paying securities. Policy and legislative changes worldwide are affecting many aspects of financial regulation. The impact of these changes on the markets and the practical implications for market participants may not be fully known for some time.

(f) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Dividends and distributions payable to shareholders are recorded by each fund on the ex-dividend date. BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund normally declares and pays dividends from net investment income monthly. BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, BNY Mellon International Fund and BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund normally declare and pay dividends from net investment income annually. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but each fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers of a fund, it is the policy of each fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

(g) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of each fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes. For federal income tax purposes, each fund is treated as a separate entity for the purpose of determining such qualification.

As of and during the period ended August 31, 2026, the funds did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. Each fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended August 31, 2026, the funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each tax year in the four-year period ended August 31, 2026 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

NOTE 2—

Bank Lines of Credit:

The funds participate with other long-term open-end funds managed by the Adviser in a $738 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. (the “Citibank Credit Facility”) and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by BNY (the “BNY Credit Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions (each, a “Facility”). The Citibank Credit Facility is available in two tranches: (i) Tranche A is in an amount equal to $618 million and is available to all long-term open-ended funds, including the funds, and (ii) Tranche B is an amount equal to $120 million and is available only to BNY Mellon Floating Rate Income Fund, a series of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc. In connection therewith, each fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for Tranche A of the Citibank Credit Facility and the BNY Credit Facility. Interest is charged to the funds based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended August 31, 2026, BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, BNY Mellon International Fund and BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund did not borrow under either Facility.

During the period ended August 31, 2026, BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund was charged $150 for interest expense. These fees are included in Interest expense in the Statements of Operations. The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Citibank Credit Facility during the period ended August 31, 2026 was approximately $3,288 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 4.56%. As of August 31, 2026, the fund has no outstanding loan balance from either Facility.

For financial reporting purposes, the funds include this interest income and overdraft fees, if any, as interest income in the Statements of Operations.

Each fund compensates the Transfer Agent, under a transfer agency agreement, for providing cash management services for the funds.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

TBA Securities: During the period ended August 31, 2026, BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund transacted in TBA securities that involved buying or selling mortgage-backed securities on a forward commitment basis. A TBA transaction typically does not designate the actual security to be delivered and only includes an approximate principal amount; however, delivered securities must meet specified terms defined by industry guidelines, including issuer, rate and current principal amount outstanding on underlying mortgage pools. TBA securities subject to a forward commitment to sell at period end are included at the end of each relevant fund’s Schedules of Investments.The proceeds and value of these commitments are reflected in the relevant fund’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Receivable for TBA sale commitments (included in Receivable for investment securities sold-TBA) and TBA sale commitments, at value, respectively.

BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund enters into forward-settling mortgage-backed securities transactions (including TBA trades) pursuant to Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“MSFTAs”) with approved counterparties. The MSFTAs provide for rights of setoff and close-out netting of covered transactions with the same counterparty upon an event of default and require posting or receipt of collateral (including cash) based on changes in the fair value of open positions.

BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund does not offset TBA-related assets and liabilities in the statement of assets and liabilities because the criteria for offsetting under GAAP are not met in the ordinary course of business. However, the relevant fund’s TBA positions are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements. Collateral posted or received under MSFTAs is presented separately as “Cash pledged as collateral” or “Cash received as collateral”, if any. Collateral amounts are not offset against the related assets or liabilities except where offsetting criteria are met.

At August 31, 2026, the amounts are as follows:

TBA Sale Commitments:	Assets ($)	Liabilities ($)
BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund
TBA forward receivables/payables (fair value)	1,012,615	(2,171,888)
Amounts offset in the statement of financial position	-	-
Net amounts presented	1,012,615	(2,171,888)
Financial instruments subject to MSFTA (not offset)	(1,007,736)	2,163,997
Financial collateral (including cash) subject to MSFTA	-	-
Net amount	4,879	(7,891)

Derivatives: A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. Rule 18f-4 under the Act regulates the use of derivatives transactions for certain funds registered under the Act. Each type of derivative instrument that was held by each relevant fund during the period ended August 31, 2026 is discussed below.

Broker Deposits: The amount included in Cash collateral held by broker in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities represents cash balances that are held by one or more brokers, including collateral required for derivative contracts. Any income earned on cash balances held by a broker is recorded as interest income to each relevant fund.

Futures: In the normal course of pursuing their investment objective, each relevant fund is exposed to market risk, including interest rate risk, as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments. Each relevant fund invests in futures in order to manage its exposure to or protect against changes in the market. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or a sale of an asset at a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, these investments require initial margin deposits with a counterparty, which consist of cash or cash equivalents. The amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which the contract is traded and is subject to change. Accordingly, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses which are recorded in the Statements of Operations. When the contracts are closed, the funds recognize a realized gain or loss which is reflected in the Statements of Operations. There is minimal counterparty credit risk to each relevant fund with futures since they are exchange traded, and the exchange guarantees the futures against default. Futures open at August 31, 2026 are set forth in each relevant fund’s Schedules of Investments.

The following tables show each relevant fund’s exposure to different types of market risk as it relates to the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the Statements of Operations, respectively.

NOTE 5—

Plan of Reorganization:

The Board and shareholders have approved the conversion of BNY Mellon International Fund and BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund (collectively, the “Predecessor Funds”), which currently operates as a mutual fund, into a corresponding exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) (each, a “Reorganization” and together, the “Reorganizations”). The Predecessor Funds will be converted into an ETF through its reorganization with and into a corresponding newly created ETF BNY Mellon Active International Equity ETF and BNY Mellon Small Cap ETF (each, an “Acquiring ETF” and together, the “Acquiring ETFs”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of Predecessor Funds, and BNY Mellon ETF Trust II (“ETF Trust II”), on behalf of each Acquiring ETF. As of the end of the reporting period, total reorganization costs were estimated to be approximately $356,000 and 350,000, of which $89,000 and $87,500 was accrued BNY Mellon International Fund and BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, respectively, as of August 31, 2026.

●Each Predecessor Fund is expected to be converted from a mutual fund to an ETF on or about December 11, 2026 (the “Closing Date”). If deemed advisable by management, Predecessor Funds may effect a share split (either forward or reverse) approximately two weeks in advance of the Reorganization. If a share split is effected, the Closing Date is expected to be after the close of business on or about December 18, 2026.

The corresponding Acquiring ETF will carry on the business of the Predecessor Funds and assume its performance and financial records. Each Acquiring ETF will have the same investment objective and similar investment strategies as the corresponding Predecessor Funds.

To facilitate the conversions the following actions will occur:

●No sales charge, redemption fee or contingent deferred sales charges will be imposed. In addition, the corresponding Acquiring ETF will not be subject to any sales charges, redemption fees or contingent deferred sales charges.

●Investor shares of the Predecessor Funds will be converted into Class M shares of the Predecessor Funds (without a charge) approximately three to four weeks before the Reorganization. In addition, approximately two weeks before the Reorganization, the Predecessor Funds may, if deemed advisable by management of the Adviser, effect a share split (either forward or reverse) to approximate the net asset value per share of the corresponding Acquiring ETF. After such share split (if any), any fractional shares held by shareholders will be redeemed at the current net asset value, and the Predecessor Funds will distribute the redemption proceeds in cash to those shareholders. The redemption of fractional shares is expected to occur approximately one to two business days before the Reorganization. The distribution to shareholders of redemption proceeds, which is expected to be a small amount, will likely be a taxable event to shareholders who hold their shares in a taxable account and shareholders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors to determine the effect of such redemption.

In addition, at a meeting on September 15, 2026, the Board has approved, subject to shareholder approval, an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund (the “Merger Fund”), and BNY Mellon Investment Funds II, Inc., on behalf of BNY Mellon Global Emerging Markets Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”). The Agreement provides for the transfer of the Merger Fund’s assets to the Acquiring Fund in a tax-free exchange for Class Y shares and Class A shares of the Acquiring Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the Merger Fund’s net assets and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the stated liabilities of the Merger Fund, the distribution of the corresponding class of shares of the Acquiring Fund to Merger Fund shareholders (with holders of Class M shares and Investor shares of the Merger Fund receiving Class Y shares and Class A shares of the Acquiring Fund, respectively) and the subsequent termination of the Merger Fund (the “Merger”).

It is currently contemplated that shareholders of the Merger Fund as of October 15, 2026 (the “Merger Record Date”) will be asked to approve the Merger Agreement on behalf of the Merger Fund at a special meeting of shareholders to be held on or about December 16, 2026. If the Merger Agreement is approved, the Merger will be consummated on or about February 19, 2027.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of the Funds and Board of Trustees of BNY Mellon Funds Trust:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, BNY Mellon International Fund, BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund and BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), each a series of BNY Mellon Funds Trust, including the schedules of investments, as of August 31, 2026, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of August 31, 2026, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. investment companies since 1994.

Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants for Open-End Management Investment Companies (Unaudited)

(a) BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund and BNY Mellon International Fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are series of BNY Mellon Funds Trust (the “Trust”). On October 20, 2026, KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) was notified that it would be dismissed as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds effective upon (i) completion of KPMG’s audit of the Funds’ financial statements to be included in the Funds’ Annual Report on Form N-CSR (the “2026 Annual Report”) and (ii) the issuance of KPMG’s report on the same. KPMG’s dismissal as the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm was effective on October 29, 2026, which is the date KPMG issued their report on their audit of the Funds’ financial statements to be included in the 2026 Annual Report.

During the fiscal years ended August 31, 2026 and August 31, 2025, and the subsequent interim period through October 29, 2026, there were no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with KPMG’s reports on the financial statements. In addition, there have been no reportable events of the kind described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The audit reports of KPMG on the financial statements of the Funds as of and for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2026 and August 31, 2025 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

The Funds provided KPMG with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and has requested that KPMG furnish the Funds with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) stating whether KPMG agrees with the above statements. A copy of the letter from KPMG is filed as an Exhibit to this Form N-CSR.

(b) Based on a shareholder meeting held on October 20, 2026 that approved the reorganization of the Funds (and thereby the dismissal of KPMG) recommended by the Board of the Trust, Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) will become the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm effective upon (i) the completion of KPMG’s audit of the Funds’ 2026 Annual Report and (ii) issuance of KPMG’s report on the same. EY serves as the independent registered public accounting firm for all funds in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds. Accordingly, a change in the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm was deemed to occur as of October 29, 2026 upon the completion and issuance of KPMG’s report on the audit of the Funds’ 2026 Annual Report.

At a meeting of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) held on March 30-31, 2026, the Board considered the renewal of (i) the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement, pursuant to which the Adviser provides the funds with investment advisory services and The Bank of New York Mellon is responsible for the provision of administrative services to the funds (together, the “Management Agreement”); (ii) the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, pursuant to which Newton Investment Management North America, LLC (“NIMNA”) provides day-to-day management of the portion of the fund’s investments allocated to the Small Cap Value Strategy and the Small Cap Growth Strategy; (iii) the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to BNY Mellon International Fund, pursuant to which NIMNA provides day-to-day management of the fund’s investments; (iv) the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund, pursuant to which Newton Investment Management Limited (“NIM”) provides day-to-day management of the fund’s investments; (v) the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund, pursuant to which INA provides day-to-day management of the fixed-income investments portion of BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund; (vi) the Sub-Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund and BNY Mellon International Fund, pursuant to which NIMNA may use the investment advisory personnel, resources and capabilities available at its sister company, NIM, in providing the day-to-day management of the respective fund’s investments; and (vii) the Sub-Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund, pursuant to which NIM may use the investment advisory personnel, resources and capabilities available at its sister company, NIMNA, in providing the day-to-day management of the fund’s investments. The Management Agreement, together with the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreements and the Sub-Sub-Investment Advisory Agreements, are referred to as the “Agreements,” NIMNA and NIM are each referred to as a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively as “Sub-Advisers.” The Bank of New York Mellon has entered into a Sub-Administration Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which The Bank of New York Mellon pays the Adviser for performing certain of the administrative services referenced above. The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust, were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers. In considering the renewal of the Agreements, the Board considered several factors that it believed to be relevant, including those discussed below. The Board did not identify any one factor as dispositive, and each Board member may have attributed different weights to the factors considered.

Analysis of Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided to the Funds. The Board considered information provided to it at the meeting and in previous presentations from representatives of the Adviser regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the funds in the Trust, including the funds. The Adviser provided the number of open accounts in each fund, each fund’s asset size and the allocation of fund assets among distribution channels. The Adviser also had previously provided information regarding the distribution channel(s) of the funds and the need to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each distribution channel, as applicable to each fund.

The Board also considered research support available to, and portfolio management capabilities of, each fund’s portfolio management personnel and that the Adviser also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements. The Board also considered the Adviser’s extensive administrative, accounting and compliance infrastructures, as well as the Adviser’s supervisory activities over the Sub-Advisers. The Board also considered portfolio management’s brokerage policies and practices (including policies and practices regarding soft dollars) and the standards applied in seeking best execution.

Comparative Analysis of the Funds’ Performance and Management Fees and Expense Ratios. For each fund, the Board reviewed reports prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data based on classifications provided by Thomson Reuters Lipper (“Lipper”), which included information comparing (1) the performance of the fund’s Class M shares with the performance of a group of institutional funds selected by Broadridge as comparable to the fund (the “Performance Group”) and with a broader group of funds consisting of all retail and institutional funds in the particular Lipper classification (the “Performance Universe”), all for various periods ended December 31, 2025, and (2) the fund’s actual and contractual management fees and total expenses with those of the same group of funds in the Performance Group (the “Expense Group”) and with a broader group of funds consisting of institutional funds in the particular Lipper classification, excluding outliers (the “Expense Universe”). At the Adviser’s request, the Board also reviewed reports prepared by Broadridge with respect to BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund, a “fund of funds,” which included information comparing (1) the performance of the fund’s Class M shares with the performance of a group of funds of funds selected by Broadridge as comparable to the fund (the “Funds of Funds Performance Group”), all for various

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited) (continued)

periods ended December 31, 2024, and (2) the fund’s actual and contractual management fees and total expenses with those of the same group of funds in the Funds of Funds Performance Group (the “Funds of Funds Expense Group”) and with a broader group of funds consisting of the funds in the Funds of Funds Expense Group and Funds of Funds in the fund’s Expense Universe (the “Funds of Funds Expense Universe”). The information for each comparison was derived, in part, from fund financial statements available to Broadridge as of the date of its analysis. The Adviser previously had furnished the Board with a description of the methodology Broadridge used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe and the Expense Group and Expense Universe and representatives of the Adviser informed the Board of the methodology Broadridge used to select the funds in the Funds of Funds Performance Group and the Funds of Funds Expense Group and the funds in the Funds of Funds Expense Universe.

Performance Comparisons. Representatives of the Adviser stated that the usefulness of performance comparisons may be affected by a number of factors, including different investment limitations and policies that may be applicable to each fund and comparison funds and the end date selected. The Board also considered the funds’ performance in light of overall financial market conditions.

Management Fee and Expense Ratio Comparisons. For each fund, the Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee rate (i.e., the aggregate of the investment advisory and administration fees pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement) payable by the fund to the Adviser in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, respectively. In addition, the Board reviewed and considered the actual management fee rate paid by the fund over the fund’s last fiscal year, which included any reductions for an expense limitation arrangement in place that reduced the management fee paid to the Adviser. The Board also reviewed the range of actual and contractual management fees and total expenses as a percentage of average net assets of the Expense Group and Expense Universe funds and discussed the results of the comparisons.

For each fund, the Board considered the fee payable to the Sub-Advisers in relation to the fee payable to the Adviser by the fund and the respective services provided by the Sub-Advisers and the Adviser. The Board also took into consideration that each Sub-Adviser’s fee is paid by the Adviser, out of its fee from the relevant fund, and not the fund.

For each of BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund and BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund representatives of the Adviser reviewed with the Board the management or advisory fees paid by any funds advised by the Adviser in the same Lipper category as the fund (the “Similar Fund(s)”) and explained the nature of the Similar Fund(s). They discussed differences in fees paid and the relationship of the fees paid in light of any differences in the services provided and other relevant factors. For each such fund, the Board considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Fund(s) to evaluate the appropriateness of the fund’s management fee. For each such fund, representatives of the Adviser noted that there were no separate accounts and/or other types of client portfolios advised by the Adviser or, for the Sub-Advised Funds, the Sub-Adviser(s), that are considered to have similar investment strategies and policies as the fund.

For BNY Mellon International Fund, representatives of the Adviser reviewed with the Board the management or investment advisory fees paid to the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser or its affiliates for advising any separate accounts and/or other types of client portfolios that are considered to have similar investment strategies and policies as the fund (the “Similar Clients”), and explained the nature of the Similar Clients. They discussed differences in fees paid and the relationship of the fees paid in light of any differences in the services provided and other relevant factors. The Board considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Clients to evaluate the appropriateness of the fund’s management fee. Representatives of the Adviser noted that there were no other funds advised by the Adviser that are in the same Lipper category as the fund.

BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund

The information comparing the fund’s performance to that of its Performance Group and Performance Universe consisted of funds classified as mixed-asset target allocation growth funds by Lipper and to that of its Funds of Funds Performance Group consisted of funds classified as mixed-asset target allocation growth funds of funds.

The Board discussed with representatives of the Adviser the results of the performance comparisons and considered that the fund’s total return performance was above the Performance Group median for all periods, except for the four-, five- and ten-year periods when the fund’s total return performance was below the Performance Group median, and was below the Performance Universe median for all periods under review, except for the two-year period when the fund’s total return performance was above the Performance Universe

median. The Board also considered that the fund’s total return performance was below the Funds of Funds Performance Group median for all periods under review, except for the five- and ten-year periods when the fund’s total return performance was at or above the Funds of Funds Performance Group median. The Board also reviewed performance attribution information relating to each fund strategy to which fund assets were allocated and the managers and underlying funds responsible for the strategy compared to the strategy’s benchmark index for the one-year period ended December 31, 2025, which showed that eight out of the ten managers/underlying funds in the strategies to which fund assets were allocated performed below the respective benchmark index. The Adviser also provided a comparison of the fund’s calendar year total returns to the returns of the fund’s benchmark indices. The Board discussed with representatives of the Adviser the reasons for the fund’s underperformance versus the Performance Group, Funds of Funds Performance Group and Performance Universe during certain periods under review and noted that the managers responsible for the fund’s strategies are very experienced with an impressive long-term track record. Management confirmed that the fund continued to apply consistent investment strategies and performed in a manner management expected under then-current market conditions.

The Board considered that the fund invests a portion of its assets in underlying mutual funds (“Acquired Funds”) and that the fund’s pro rata share of the expenses of the Acquired Funds was included in the fund’s total expenses used to determine its rankings in the Expense Group, Expense Universe (even though not all other funds in the Expense Group and Expense Universe invest in underlying funds), Funds of Funds Expense Group and Funds of Funds Expense Universe. Moreover, unlike most funds in the Funds of Funds Expense Group and Funds of Funds Expense Universe, the fund may invest directly in equity securities and fixed-income securities and money market instruments. The Board considered that the fund’s contractual management fee was higher than the Expense Group median and higher than the Funds of Funds Expense Group median contractual management fee; the fund’s actual management fee was lower than the Expense Group median and lower than the Expense Universe median actual management fee and higher than the Funds of Funds Expense Group median and higher than the Funds of Funds Expense Universe median actual management fee; and the fund’s total expenses were approximately equivalent to the Expense Group median and higher than the Expense Universe median total expenses (lower without Acquired Fund expenses) and lower than the Funds of Funds Expense Group median and higher than the Funds of Funds Expense Universe median total expenses (including Acquired Fund expenses). The Board determined that the fee payable by the fund pursuant to the Management Agreement was based on services provided that were in addition to, rather than duplicative of, the services provided under the advisory contracts of the Acquired Funds in which the fund invested.

Representatives of the Adviser stated that the Adviser has contractually agreed, until December 31, 2026, to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the expenses of the fund so that the total annual fund operating expenses of neither class of fund shares (including indirect fees and expenses of the underlying funds, but excluding shareholder services fees, taxes, interest expense, brokerage commissions, commitment fees on borrowings and extraordinary expenses) exceed .87%.

BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund

The information comparing the fund’s performance to that of its Performance Group and Performance Universe consisted of funds classified as small-cap core funds by Lipper.

The Board discussed with representatives of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser the results of the performance comparisons and considered that the fund’s total return performance was above the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians for all periods under review, except for the three-, four- and five-year periods when the fund’s total return performance was below the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians. The Board also reviewed performance attribution information relating to each fund strategy and the managers responsible for the strategy compared to the strategy’s benchmark index for the one-year period ended December 31, 2025, which showed that the fund’s growth strategy performed above, and the fund’s value strategy performed below, the respective benchmark index. It was noted that the Performance Group and Performance Universe were comprised of small-cap core funds, whereas the fund allocates its assets among small-cap growth and value investment strategies. Management confirmed that the fund continued to apply consistent investment strategies and performed in a manner management expected under then-current market conditions. The Adviser also provided a comparison of the fund’s calendar year total returns to the returns of the fund’s benchmark indices.

The Board considered that the fund’s contractual management fee was higher than the Expense Group median contractual management fee, the fund’s actual management fee was higher than the Expense Group median and higher than the Expense Universe median actual management fee, and the fund’s total expenses were higher than the Expense Group median and higher than the Expense Universe median total expenses.

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited) (continued)

BNY Mellon International Fund

The information comparing the fund’s performance to that of its Performance Group and Performance Universe consisted of funds classified as international multi-cap core funds by Lipper.

The Board considered that the fund’s contractual management fee was higher than the Expense Group median contractual management fee, the fund’s actual management fee was higher than the Expense Group median and higher than the Expense Universe median actual management fee, and the fund’s total expenses were approximately equivalent to the Expense Group median and approximately equivalent to the Expense Universe median total expenses.

Representatives of the Adviser stated that the Adviser has contractually agreed, until December31, 2026, to waive receipt of a portion of its management fee in the amount of .20% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets.

BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund

The information comparing the fund’s performance to that of its Performance Group and Performance Universe consisted of funds classified as emerging markets funds by Lipper.

Representatives of the Adviser stated that the Adviser has contractually agreed, until December 31, 2026, to waive receipt of a portion of its management fee in the amount of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets.

Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. Representatives of the Adviser reviewed the expenses allocated and profit received by the Adviser and its affiliates and the resulting profitability percentage for managing each fund and the aggregate profitability percentage to the Adviser and its affiliates for managing the funds in the BNY fund complex, and the method used to determine the expenses and profit. The Board concluded that the profitability results were not excessive, given the services rendered and service levels provided by the Adviser and its affiliates to each fund. The Board also considered the expense limitation arrangements for certain funds and the effect each such arrangement had on the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also had been provided with information prepared by an independent consulting firm regarding the Adviser’s approach to allocating costs to, and determining the profitability of, individual funds and the entire BNY fund complex. The consulting firm also had analyzed where any economies of scale might emerge in connection with the management of a fund.

As to each fund, the Board considered, on the advice of its counsel, the profitability analysis (1) as part of its evaluation of whether the fees under the Agreements, considered in relation to the mix of services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, including the nature, extent and quality of such services, supported the renewal of the Agreements and (2) in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of

scale for the benefit of fund shareholders. Representatives of the Adviser stated that a discussion of economies of scale is predicated on a fund having achieved a substantial size with increasing assets and that, if a fund’s assets had been stable or decreasing, the possibility that the Adviser may have realized any economies of scale would be less. Representatives of the Adviser also stated that, as a result of shared and allocated costs among funds in the BNY fund complex, the extent of economies of scale could depend substantially on the level of assets in the complex as a whole, so that increases and decreases in complex-wide assets can affect potential economies of scale in a manner that is disproportionate to, or even in the opposite direction from, changes in the fund’s asset level. The Board also considered potential benefits to the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers from acting as investment adviser and sub-investment adviser, respectively, and took into consideration the soft dollar arrangements in effect for trading certain fund’s investments.

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to the renewal of the Agreements. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board concluded and determined as follows.

●The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to each fund, and by the Sub-Advisers to the applicable funds, are satisfactory and appropriate.

●With respect to BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund and BNY Mellon Small Cap Multi-Strategy Fund, the Board determined each fund’s overall performance was satisfactory in light of the totality of the information presented.

●With respect to BNY Mellon International Fund and BNY Mellon Emerging Markets Fund, the Board was satisfied with the manner in which the Adviser monitors and evaluates the performance of each Sub-Adviser and with each fund’s long-term performance.

●With respect to each fund, the Board concluded that the fees paid to the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers continued to be appropriate under the circumstances and in light of the factors and the totality of the services provided as discussed above.

●The Board determined that the fees charged by the Adviser under the Management Agreement with respect BNY Mellon Asset Allocation Fund were for services in addition to, and not duplicative of, services provided under the advisory contracts of the Acquired Funds in which the fund invested.

●The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the management of the funds had been adequately considered by the Adviser in connection with the fee rate charged to each fund pursuant to the Management Agreement and that, to the extent in the future it were determined that material economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund.

In evaluating the respective Agreement with respect to each fund, the Board considered these conclusions and determinations and also relied on its previous knowledge, gained through meetings and other interactions with the Adviser and its affiliates and the Sub-Advisers, of the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers and the services provided to the fund pursuant to the respective Agreement. The Board also relied on information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year relating to the operations of the funds and the investment management and other services provided under the respective Agreement, including information on the investment performance of each fund in comparison to similar mutual funds and benchmark performance indices; general market outlook as applicable to each fund; and compliance reports. In addition, the Board’s consideration of the contractual fee arrangements for each fund had the benefit of a number of years of reviews of the Agreements, during which lengthy discussions took place between the Board and representatives of the Adviser. Certain aspects of the arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than in others, and the Board’s conclusions may be based, in part, on its consideration of the respective fund’s arrangements, or substantially similar arrangements for the other funds in the Trust, in prior years. The Board determined to renew the Agreements for each fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—

Significant Accounting Policies:

BNY Mellon Bond Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of BNY Mellon Funds Trust (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering six series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek total return (consisting of capital appreciation and current income). BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. Effective October 1, 2025, the Adviser has engaged its affiliate, Insight North America LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY and an affiliate of the Adviser, to serve as the fund’s sub-adviser.

The Bank of New York Mellon serves as administrator for the fund pursuant to an Administration Agreement with the Trust (the “Administration Agreement”). The Bank of New York Mellon has entered into a Sub-Administration Agreement with the Adviser pursuant to which BNY pays the Adviser for performing certain administrative services.

BNY Mellon Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold without a sales charge. The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class M and Investor. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to the shareholder services plan fee and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the FASB ASC Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:

Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their reported net asset values (“NAVs”) each day and are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Restricted securities, as well as securities or other assets for which recent market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value (such as when the value of a security has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the fund calculates its NAV), or which are not valued by the Service, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith based on procedures approved by the Board. Fair value of investments is determined by the Adviser, as the fund’s valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act, using such information as it deems appropriate under the circumstances. The factors that may be considered when fair valuing a security include fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. Using fair value to price investments may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their NAVs. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.

Futures contracts will be valued at the most recent settlement price and are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2026 in valuing the fund’s investments:

††

Amount shown represents unrealized appreciation (depreciation) at period end, but only variation margin on exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives,

if any, are reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with BNY, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Adviser, or U.S. Government and Agency securities. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold or re-pledged by the fund, except in the event of borrower default, and is not reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The securities on loan, if any, are also disclosed in the fund’s Schedule of Investments. The fund is entitled to receive all dividends, interest and distributions on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner, BNY is required to replace the securities for the benefit of the fund or credit the fund with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the fund’s rights against the borrower and the collateral. Additionally, the contractual maturity of security lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. During the period ended August 31, 2026, BNY earned $15,463 from the lending of the fund’s portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.

For financial reporting purposes, the fund elects not to offset assets and liabilities subject to a securities lending agreement, if any, in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Therefore, all qualifying transactions are presented on a gross basis in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of August 31, 2026, the fund had securities lending and the impact of netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received, if any, based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the securities lending agreement are detailed in the following table:

Assets ($)

Net amount	-

†

The value of the related collateral received by the fund exceeded the value of the securities loaned by the fund pursuant to the securities lending agreement. In addition,

the value of collateral may include pending sales that are also on loan. See Schedule of Investments for detailed information regarding collateral received for open

securities lending.

(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Adviser are considered “affiliated” under the Act.

(d) Market Risk: The value of the securities in which the fund invests may be affected by political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed-income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

adversely affect the fund. Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies world-wide. Local, regional or global events such as war, military conflicts, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, elevated levels of government debt, changes in trade regulation or economic sanctions, internal unrest and discord, or other events could have a significant impact on the fund and its investments.

Interest Rate Risk: Prices of bonds and other fixed rate fixed-income securities tend to move inversely with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in rates will adversely affect fixed-income securities and, accordingly, will cause the value of the fund’s investments in these securities to decline. A wide variety of market factors can cause interest rates to rise, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation and changes in general economic conditions. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase (or decrease) interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such changes. During periods of very low interest rates, which occur from time to time due to market forces or actions of governments and/or their central banks, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in the U.S., the fund may be subject to a greater risk of principal decline from rising interest rates. When interest rates fall, the fund’s investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce the fund’s income. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from fund performance. The magnitude of these fluctuations in the market price of fixed-income securities is generally greater for securities with longer effective maturities and durations because such instruments do not mature, reset interest rates or become callable for longer periods of time.

Government Securities Risk: Not all obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. Some obligations are backed only by the credit of the issuing agency or instrumentality, and in some cases there may be some risk of default by the issuer. Any guarantee by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities of a security held by the fund does not apply to the market value of such security or to shares of the fund itself.

Fixed-Income Market Risk: The market value of a fixed-income security may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity. Liquidity can decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity may be caused by a rise in interest rates (or the expectation of a rise in interest rates). An unexpected increase in fund redemption requests, including requests from shareholders who may own a significant percentage of the fund’s shares, which may be triggered by market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, could cause the fund to sell its holdings at a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely affect the fund’s share price and increase the fund’s liquidity risk, fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. Federal Reserve policy in response to market conditions, including with respect to interest rates, may adversely affect the value, volatility and liquidity of dividend and interest paying securities. Policy and legislative changes worldwide are affecting many aspects of financial regulation. The impact of these changes on the markets and the practical implications for market participants may not be fully known for some time.

Mortgage-Related Securities Risk: Mortgage-related securities are subject to credit, prepayment and extension risk, and may be more volatile, less liquid and more difficult to price accurately than more traditional debt securities. The fund is subject to the credit risk associated with these securities, including the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuing federal agency, as well as the credit quality of the underlying assets. Although certain mortgage-related securities are guaranteed as to the timely payment of interest and principal by a third party (such as a U.S. government agency or instrumentality with respect to government-related mortgage securities) the market prices for such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate. As with other interest-bearing securities, the prices of certain mortgage-related securities are inversely affected by changes in interest rates. However, although the value of a mortgage-related security may decline when interest rates rise, the converse is not necessarily true, since in periods of declining interest rates the mortgages underlying the security are more likely to be prepaid causing the fund to purchase new securities at current market rates, which usually will be lower. The loss of higher yielding underlying mortgages and the reinvestment of proceeds at lower interest rates, known as prepayment risk, can reduce the fund’s potential price gain in response to falling interest rates, reduce the fund’s yield and/or cause the fund’s share price to fall. When interest rates rise, the effective duration of the fund’s mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities may lengthen due to a drop in prepayments of the underlying mortgages or other assets. This is known as extension risk and would increase the fund’s sensitivity to rising interest rates and it potential for price declines.

(e) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

net investment income are normally declared and paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

(f) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

As of and during the period ended August 31, 2026, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended August 31, 2026, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each tax year in the four-year period ended August 31, 2026 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At August 31, 2026, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $1,483,376, accumulated capital and other losses $156,389,438 and unrealized depreciation $51,328,434.

The fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. Furthermore, capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses.

The accumulated capital loss carryover is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net realized capital gains, if any, realized subsequent to August 31, 2026. The fund has $51,650,093 of short-term capital losses and $104,685,560 of long-term capital losses which can be carried forward for an unlimited period.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2026 and August 31, 2025 were as follows: ordinary income $46,123,272 and $48,999,959, respectively.

(g) Operating segment reporting: In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), the fund has operated and been managed as a single reportable segment, generating returns through dividends, interest, and/or gains from investments aligned with its single stated investment objective as outlined in the fund’s prospectus. The fund’s accounting policies are consistent with those described in these Notes to Financial Statements. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is represented by BNY Investments and is comprised of Senior Management and Directors of BNY Investments. The CODM considers the net increase in net assets resulting from operations when deciding whether to purchase additional investments or make distributions to shareholders. Detailed financial information for the fund is presented in these financial statements, including total assets and liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, investments held in the Schedule of Investments, results of operations and significant segment expenses in the Statement of Operations, and additional performance information—such as total return, portfolio turnover, and ratios—in the Financial Highlights.

NOTE 2—

Bank Lines of Credit:

The fund participates with other long-term open-end funds managed by the Adviser in a $738 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. (the “Citibank Credit Facility”) and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by BNY (the “BNY Credit Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions (each, a “Facility”). The Citibank Credit Facility is available in two tranches: (i) Tranche A is in an amount equal to $618 million and is available to all long-term open-ended funds, including the fund, and (ii) Tranche B is an amount equal to $120 million and is available only to BNY Mellon Floating Rate Income Fund, a series of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for Tranche A of the Citibank Credit Facility and the BNY Credit Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended August 31, 2026, the fund did not borrow under either Facility.

NOTE 3—

Management Fee, Administration Fee, Sub-Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .40% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

0 up to $6 billion	.15%
$6 billion up to $12 billion	.12%
In excess of $12 billion	.10%

Effective October 1, 2025, pursuant to a sub-investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser a monthly fee at an annual rate of .20% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets.

(b) Under the shareholder services plan (the “Shareholder Services Plan”), Investor shares pay the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of their average daily net assets for the provision of certain services. The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Distributor may make payments to service agents (securities dealers, financial institutions or other industry professionals) with respect to these services. The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to service agents. During the period ended August 31, 2026, the fund was charged $21,824 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The fund has an arrangement with BNY Mellon Transfer, Inc., (the “Transfer Agent”), a subsidiary of BNY and an affiliate of the Adviser, whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset Transfer Agent fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes transfer agent net earnings credits, if any, as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund has an arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”), a subsidiary of BNY and an affiliate of the Adviser, whereby the fund will receive interest income or be charged overdraft fees when cash balances are maintained. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes this interest income and overdraft fees, if any, as interest income in the Statement of Operations.

The fund compensates the Transfer Agent, under a transfer agency agreement, for providing cash management services for the fund. The Transfer Agent fees are comprised of amounts paid on cash management fees which are related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. BNY pays the fund’s Transfer Agent fees comprised of amounts paid on a per account basis out of the administration fee it receives from the Trust. During the period ended August 31, 2026, there were no transfer agent cash management fees and earnings credits for the fund.

The fund compensates the Custodian, under a custody agreement, for providing custodial services for the fund. These fees are determined based on net assets, geographic region and transaction activity. During the period ended August 31, 2026, the fund was charged $16,840 pursuant to the custody agreement.

The fund compensates the Custodian, under a shareholder redemption draft processing agreement, for providing certain services related to the fund’s check writing privilege. During the period ended August 31, 2026, the fund was charged $91 pursuant to the agreement, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations.

During the period ended August 31, 2026, the fund was charged $29,500 for services performed by the fund’s Chief Compliance Officer and his staff. These fees are included in Chief Compliance Officer fees in the Statement of Operations.

The fund compensates the Custodian for providing shareholder reporting and regulatory services for the fund. These fees are included in shareholder and regulatory reports service fees in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended August 31, 2026, the Custodian was compensated $18,000 for financial reporting and regulatory services.

The components of “Due to BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fee of $403,535, administration fees of $151,326, Shareholder Services Plan fees of $2,097, Custodian fees of $10,500, Chief Compliance Officer fees of $3,704, checkwriting fees of $10 and shareholder and regulatory reports service fees of $6,000.

(c) Each board member of the fund also serves as a board member of other funds in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

NOTE 4—

Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales (including paydowns) of investment securities, excluding short-term securities and derivatives, during the period ended August 31, 2026, amounted to $1,059,219,831 and $1,089,996,650, respectively, of which $54,199,335 in purchases and $54,265,050 in sales were from mortgage dollar transactions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

TBA Securities: During the period ended August 31, 2026, the fund transacted in TBA securities that involved buying or selling mortgage-backed securities on a forward commitment basis. A TBA transaction typically does not designate the actual security to be delivered and only includes an approximate principal amount; however, delivered securities must meet specified terms defined by industry guidelines, including issuer, rate and current principal amount outstanding on underlying mortgage pools. TBA securities subject to a forward commitment to sell at period end are included at the end of the fund’s Schedule of Investments.The proceeds and value of these commitments are reflected in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Receivable for TBA sale commitments (included in Receivable for investment securities sold-TBA) and TBA sale commitments, at value, respectively.

The fund enters into forward-settling mortgage-backed securities transactions (including TBA trades) pursuant to Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (“MSFTAs”) with approved counterparties. The MSFTAs provide for rights of setoff and close-out netting of covered transactions with the same counterparty upon an event of default and require posting or receipt of collateral (including cash) based on changes in the fair value of open positions.

The fund does not offset TBA-related assets and liabilities in the statement of assets and liabilities because the criteria for offsetting under GAAP are not met in the ordinary course of business. However, the fund’s TBA positions are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements. Collateral posted or received under MSFTAs is presented separately as “Cash pledged as collateral” or “Cash received as collateral”, if any. Collateral amounts are not offset against the related assets or liabilities except where offsetting criteria are met.

At August 31, 2026, the amounts are as follows:

TBA Sale Commitments:	Assets ($)	Liabilities ($)
TBA forward receivables/payables (fair value)	-	(18,023,378 )
Amounts offset in the statement of financial position	-	-
Net amounts presented	-	(18,023,378 )
Financial instruments subject to MSFTA (not offset)	-	17,962,820
Financial collateral (including cash) subject to MSFTA	-	-
Net amount	-	(60,558 )

Derivatives: A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. Rule 18f-4 under the Act regulates the use of derivatives transactions for certain funds registered under the Act. Each type of derivative instrument that was held by the fund during the period ended August 31, 2026 is discussed below.

Broker Deposits: The amount included in Cash collateral held by broker in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities represents cash balances that are held by one or more brokers, including collateral required for derivative contracts. Any income earned on cash balances held by a broker is recorded as interest income to the fund.

Futures: In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the fund is exposed to market risk, including interest rate risk, as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments. The fund invests in futures in order to manage its exposure to or protect against changes in the market. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or a sale of an asset at a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, these investments require initial margin deposits with a counterparty, which consist of cash or cash equivalents. The amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which the contract is traded and is subject to change. Accordingly, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses which are recorded in the Statement of Operations. When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss which is reflected in the Statement of Operations. There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the fund with futures since they are exchange traded, and the exchange guarantees the futures against default. Futures open at August 31, 2026 are set forth in the fund’s Schedule of Investments.

The following tables show the fund’s exposure to different types of market risk as it relates to the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations, respectively.

To the Shareholders of BNY Mellon Bond Fund and Board of Trustees of BNY Mellon Funds Trust:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of BNY Mellon Bond Fund (the “Fund”), a series of BNY Mellon Funds Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of August 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. investment companies since 1994.

Statement of Operations as Trustees’ fees and expenses and Chief Compliance Officer fees, respectively.

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited)

Analysis of Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided to the Funds. The Board considered information provided to it at the meeting and in previous presentations from representatives of the Adviser regarding the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the funds in the Trust, including the fund. The Adviser provided the number of open accounts in the fund, the fund’s asset size and the allocation of fund assets among distribution channels. The Adviser also had previously provided information regarding the distribution channel(s) of the funds and the need to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each distribution channel, as applicable to the fund.

The Board also considered research support available to, and portfolio management capabilities of, the fund’s portfolio management personnel and that the Adviser also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements. The Board also considered the Adviser’s extensive administrative, accounting and compliance infrastructures, as well as the Adviser’s supervisory activities over the Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered portfolio management’s brokerage policies and practices (including policies and practices regarding soft dollars) and the standards applied in seeking best execution.

Comparative Analysis of the Funds’ Performance and Management Fees and Expense Ratios. The Board reviewed reports prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data based on classifications provided by Thomson Reuters Lipper (“Lipper”), which included information comparing (1) the performance of the fund’s Class M shares with the performance of a group of institutional funds selected by Broadridge as comparable to the fund (the “Performance Group”) and with a broader group of funds consisting of all retail and institutional funds in the particular Lipper classification (the “Performance Universe”), all for various periods ended December 31, 2025, and (2) the fund’s actual and contractual management fees and total expenses with those of the same group of funds in the Performance Group (the “Expense Group”) and with a broader group of funds consisting of institutional funds in the particular Lipper classification, excluding outliers (the “Expense Universe”). The Adviser previously had furnished the Board with a description of the methodology Broadridge used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe and the Expense Group and Expense Universe.

Performance Comparisons. Representatives of the Adviser stated that the usefulness of performance comparisons may be affected by a number of factors, including different investment limitations and policies that may be applicable to each fund and comparison funds and the end date selected. The Board also considered the fund’s performance in light of overall financial market conditions.

Management Fee and Expense Ratio Comparisons. The Board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee rate (i.e., the aggregate of the investment advisory and administration fees pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement and Administration Agreement) payable by the fund to the Adviser in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, respectively. In addition, the Board reviewed and considered the actual management fee rate paid by the fund over the fund’s last fiscal year, which included any reductions for an expense limitation arrangement in place that reduced the management fee paid to the Adviser. The Board also reviewed the range of actual and contractual management fees and total expenses as a percentage of average net assets of the Expense Group and Expense Universe funds and discussed the results of the comparisons.

The Board considered the fee payable to the Sub-Adviser in relation to the fee payable to the Adviser by the fund and the services provided by the Sub-Adviser and the Adviser. The Board also took into consideration that Sub-Adviser’s fee is paid by the Adviser, out of its fee from the fund, and not the fund.

The information comparing the fund’s performance to that of its Performance Group and Performance Universe consisted of funds classified as core bond funds by Lipper.

The Board discussed with representatives of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser the results of the performance comparisons and considered that the fund’s total return performance was below the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians for all periods under review, except for the one-year period when the fund’s total return performance was slightly above the Performance Universe median. The Board also considered that the fund’s yield performance was at or above the Performance Group median for six of the ten one-year periods ended December 31st and above the Performance Universe median for seven of the ten one-year periods ended December 31st. The Adviser also provided a comparison of the fund’s calendar year total returns to the returns of the fund’s benchmark index. The Board discussed with representatives of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser the reasons for the fund’s underperformance versus the Performance Group and Performance Universe and noted the relative proximity of the fund’s total return performance and yield performance to the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians and benchmark index returns during the periods under review. The Adviser also provided a comparison for the fund’s calendar year total returns to the returns of the fund’s benchmark index.

The Board considered, on the advice of its counsel, the profitability analysis (1) as part of its evaluation of whether the fees under the Agreements, considered in relation to the mix of services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, including the nature, extent and quality of such services, supported the renewal of the Agreements and (2) in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders. Representatives of the Adviser stated that a discussion of economies of scale is predicated on a fund having achieved a substantial size with increasing assets and that, if a fund’s assets had been stable or decreasing, the possibility that the Adviser may have realized any economies of scale would be less. Representatives of the Adviser also stated that, as a result of shared and allocated costs among funds in the BNY fund complex, the extent of economies of scale could depend substantially on the level of assets in the complex as a whole, so that increases and decreases in complex-wide assets can affect potential economies of scale in a manner that is disproportionate to, or even in the opposite direction from, changes in the fund’s asset level. The Board also considered potential benefits to the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers from acting as investment adviser and sub-investment adviser, respectively, and took into consideration the soft dollar arrangements in effect for trading certain fund’s investments, noting that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect for trading the investments for BNY Mellon Bond Fund.

Item 11. Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts (Unaudited) (continued)

●The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the fund, and by the Sub-Adviser, are satisfactory and appropriate.

●With respect to BNY Mellon Bond Fund, the Board determined each fund’s overall performance was satisfactory in light of the totality of the information presented.

●The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser continued to be appropriate under the circumstances and in light of the factors and the totality of the services provided as discussed above.

In evaluating the respective Agreement with respect to the fund, the Board considered these conclusions and determinations and also relied on its previous knowledge, gained through meetings and other interactions with the Adviser and its affiliates and the Sub-Adviser, of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and the services provided to the fund pursuant to the respective Agreement. The Board also relied on information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year relating to the operations of the funds and the investment management and other services provided under the respective Agreement, including information on the investment performance of each fund in comparison to similar mutual funds and benchmark performance indices; general market outlook as applicable to each fund; and compliance reports. In addition, the Board’s consideration of the contractual fee arrangements for the fund had the benefit of a number of years of reviews of the Agreements, during which lengthy discussions took place between the Board and representatives of the Adviser. Certain aspects of the arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than in others, and the Board’s conclusions may be based, in part, on its consideration of the fund’s arrangements, or substantially similar arrangements for the other funds in the Trust, in prior years. The Board determined to renew the Agreements for the fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—

Significant Accounting Policies:

BNY Mellon Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of BNY Mellon Funds Trust (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering six series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek as high a level of income exempt from federal and Massachusetts state income taxes as is consistent with the preservation of capital. BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. Effective October 1, 2025, the Adviser has engaged its affiliate, Insight North America LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY and an affiliate of the Adviser, to serve as the fund’s sub-adviser.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the FASB ASC Topic 946 Financial Services-Investment Companies. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Investments in municipal securities and instruments generally will be valued, to the extent possible, by one or more independent pricing services (the “Service”). When, in the judgment of the Service, quoted bid prices for investments are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market, these investments are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). The value of other municipal securities and instruments is determined by the Service based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. The Services are engaged under the general supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Overnight and certain other short-term debt securities and instruments (excluding Treasury bills) will be valued by the amortized cost method, which approximates fair value, unless a Service provides a valuation for such security or, in the opinion of the board or a committee or other persons designated by the Board, such as the Adviser, the amortized cost method would not represent fair value. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Restricted securities, as well as securities or other assets for which recent market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value (such as when the value of a security has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”)), or which are not valued by the Service, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith based on procedures approved by the Board. Fair value of investments is determined by the Adviser, as the fund’s valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act, using such information as it deems appropriate under the circumstances. The factors that may be considered when fair valuing a security include fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. Using fair value to price investments may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their NAVs. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of August 31, 2026 in valuing the fund’s investments:

	Level 1 - Unadjusted Quoted Prices	Level 2- Other Significant Observable Inputs	Level 3- Significant Unobservable Inputs	Total
Assets ($)
Investments in Securities:†
Municipal Securities	—	102,980,152	—	102,980,152
	—	102,980,152	—	102,980,152

†	See Schedule of Investments for additional detailed categorizations, if any.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and is recognized on the accrual basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

The fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the fund.

(c) Market Risk: The value of the securities in which the fund invests may be affected by political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed-income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect the fund. Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies world-wide. Local, regional or global events such as war, military conflicts, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, elevated levels of government debt, changes in trade

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

regulation or economic sanctions, internal unrest and discord, or other events could have a significant impact on the fund and its investments.

Interest Rate Risk: Prices of bonds and other fixed rate fixed-income securities tend to move inversely with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in rates will adversely affect fixed-income securities and, accordingly, will cause the value of the fund’s investments in these securities to decline. A wide variety of market factors can cause interest rates to rise, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation and changes in general economic conditions. It is difficult to predict the pace at which central banks or monetary authorities may increase (or decrease) interest rates or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of such changes. During periods of very low interest rates, which occur from time to time due to market forces or actions of governments and/or their central banks, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in the U.S., the fund may be subject to a greater risk of principal decline from rising interest rates. When interest rates fall, the fund’s investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce the fund’s income. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from fund performance. The magnitude of these fluctuations in the market price of fixed-income securities is generally greater for securities with longer effective maturities and durations because such instruments do not mature, reset interest rates or become callable for longer periods of time.

Municipal Securities Risk: Municipal securities are subject to interest rate, credit, liquidity, valuation, market and political risks. The amount of public information available about municipal securities is generally less than that for corporate equities or bonds. Special factors, such as legislative and regulatory changes, executive orders, voter initiatives, and state and local economic and business developments, may adversely affect the yield and/or value of the fund’s investments in municipal securities. Other factors include the general conditions of the municipal securities market, the size of the particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and the rating of the issue. Changes in economic, business or political conditions relating to a particular municipal project, municipality, or state, territory or possession of the United States in which the fund invests may have an impact on the fund’s share price. Any such credit impairment could adversely impact the value of their bonds, which could negatively impact the performance of the fund. In addition, income from municipal securities held by the fund could be declared taxable because of, among other things, unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct of an issuer or other obligated party. Loss of tax-exempt status for municipal securities held by the fund may cause interest received and distributed to shareholders by the fund to be taxable and may result in a significant decline in the values of such municipal securities.

State-Specific Risk: The fund is subject to the risk that Massachusetts’ economy, and the revenues underlying its municipal obligations, may decline. Investing primarily in the municipal obligations of a single state makes the fund more sensitive to risks specific to that state and may entail more risk than investing in the municipal obligations of multiple states as a result of potentially less diversification.

(d) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from net investment income. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

(e) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax-exempt dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

Each tax year in the four-year period ended August 31, 2026 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At August 31, 2026, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: accumulated capital losses $8,116,956 and unrealized depreciation $3,415,536.

The fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. Furthermore, capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The accumulated capital loss carryover is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net realized capital gains, if any, realized subsequent to August 31, 2026. The fund has $782,972 of short-term capital losses and $7,333,984 of long-term capital losses which can be carried forward for an unlimited period.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2026 and August 31, 2025 were as follows: tax-exempt income $2,747,739 and $3,210,188, and ordinary income $6,773 and $13,569, respectively.

(f) Operating segment reporting: In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), the fund has operated and been managed as a single reportable segment, generating returns through dividends, interest, and/or gains from investments aligned with its single stated investment objective as outlined in the fund’s prospectus. The fund’s accounting policies are consistent with those described in these Notes to Financial Statements. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is represented by BNY Investments and is comprised of Senior Management and Directors of BNY Investments. The CODM considers the net increase in net assets resulting from operations when deciding whether to purchase additional investments or make distributions to shareholders. Detailed financial information for the fund is presented in these financial statements, including total assets and liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, investments held in the Schedule of Investments, results of operations and significant segment expenses in the Statement of Operations, and additional performance information—such as total return, portfolio turnover, and ratios—in the Financial Highlights.

Effective October 1, 2025, pursuant to a sub-investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser a monthly fee at an annual rate of .175% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets.

The fund has arrangements with BNY Mellon Transfer, Inc., (the “Transfer Agent”) and The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”), both a subsidiary of BNY and an affiliate of the Adviser, whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset Transfer Agent and Custodian fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes transfer agent net earnings credits, if any, and custody net earnings credits, if any, as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The fund compensates the Custodian, under a shareholder redemption draft processing agreement, for providing certain services related to the fund’s check writing privilege. During the period ended August 31, 2026, the fund was charged $106 pursuant to the agreement, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations.

The components of “Due to BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fee of $31,284, administration fees of $13,407, Shareholder Services Plan fees of $2,353, Custodian fees of $883, Chief Compliance Officer fees of $3,704, checkwriting fees of $9 and shareholder and regulatory reports service fees of $6,000.

NOTE 4—

Securities Transactions:

At August 31, 2026, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $106,395,688; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized depreciation on investments was $3,415,536, consisting of $226,942 gross unrealized appreciation and $3,642,478 gross unrealized depreciation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of BNY Mellon Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund and Board of Trustees of BNY Mellon Funds Trust:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of BNY Mellon Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”), a series of BNY Mellon Funds Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of August 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of August 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. investment companies since 1994.

Representatives of the Adviser stated that the usefulness of performance comparisons may be affected by a number of factors, including different investment limitations and policies that may be applicable to each fund and comparison funds and the end date selected. The Board also considered the fund’s performance in light of overall financial market conditions.

The information comparing the fund’s performance to that of its Performance Group and Performance Universe consisted of funds classified as “other states” intermediate municipal debt funds by Lipper.

The Board discussed with representatives of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser the results of the performance comparisons and considered that the fund’s total return performance was above the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians for all periods under review, except for the one-year period when the fund’s total return performance was at the Performance Group median. The Board also considered that the fund’s yield performance was at or above the Performance Group median for four of the ten one-year periods ended December 31st and above the Performance Universe median for eight of the ten one-year periods ended December 31st. The Board also considered that not all the other funds in the Performance Group or Performance Universe invested primarily in Massachusetts municipal securities. The Adviser also provided a comparison of the fund’s calendar year total returns to the returns of the fund’s benchmark index. The Board also noted that the fund had a four-star rating from Morningstar for the five-year period based on Morningstar’s risk-adjusted return measures.

The Board considered that the fund’s contractual management fee was approximately equivalent to the Expense Group median contractual management fee, the fund’s actual management fee was higher than the Expense Group median and higher than the Expense Universe median actual management fee, and the fund’s total expenses were slightly higher than the Expense Group median and higher than the Expense Universe median total expenses.
