BNY Mellon S&P 500 Index Fund (PEOPX)

The fund's core objective is to closely mirror the performance of the S&P 500® Index. To achieve this, it typically allocates substantially all of its assets to the common stocks that constitute the S&P 500®, alongside holding financial futures contracts whose returns are directly linked to the index. Specifically, the fund invests in all 500 companies included in the S&P 500®, ensuring their representation within the fund precisely matches their weighting within the index. The S&P 500® itself is a passively managed benchmark, composed of 500 prominent U.S. equities selected to represent the breadth of the American economic landscape, and is widely regarded as a key indicator of the overall stock market's performance.
