Forward-Looking Statements


We have included in this report statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or statements of current conditions, but instead represent only our beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside our control. These statements are not guarantees of future results or performance and involve certain known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict and are often beyond our control. These statements relate to, among other things, our goals, targets, aspirations, strategy, plans, intentions and objectives, and actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any of these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause our outcomes and results to differ from the forward-looking statements include global socio-demographic and economic trends, energy prices, technological innovations, climate-related conditions and weather events, our ability to gather and verify data regarding environmental impacts, our ability to successfully implement various initiatives throughout the company under expected timeframes, the compliance of various third parties with our policies and procedures, legislative and regulatory changes, and other unforeseen events or conditions. In addition, important factors that generally affect our business and operations can be found under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and in subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).


Certain disclosures included in this report are being provided in connection with our application of guidelines and recommendations of the Global Reporting Initiative, the UN Global Compact, the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures and others. Our approach to the disclosures included in this report differs from our approach to the disclosures we include in our mandatory regulatory reports, including our filings with the SEC. While certain matters discussed in this report may be significant, any significance should not be read as necessarily rising to the level of materiality used for the purposes of complying with the U.S. federal securities laws and regulations, even if we use the word “material” or “materiality” in this report. This report is intended to provide information from a different perspective and in more detail than that required to be included in other regulatory reports, including our filings with the SEC.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made, and BNY Mellon undertakes no obligation to update any statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such forward-looking statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

A derivatives valuation represents only one view as to the estimated general value of a derivatives instrument at a particular point in time, and therefore is subject to change at any time without notice. Derivatives valuations may incorporate information from the most active markets to which a Vendor or BNY Mellon, as applicable, has access and, consequently, may not represent an estimate of the value of the particular derivatives instrument in all or other markets to which BNY Mellon or others may have access. None of BNY Mellon or the Vendors makes any warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or use or non-infringement in connection with any of the data or anything done or supplied by the Vendors through BNY Mellon or by BNY Mellon though its proprietary valuation services. Derivatives valuations are being provided by BNY Mellon at the client’s request for information purposes only and are not intended as an offer or solicitation for the purchase or sale of a security or a contractual obligation with respect to any derivatives instrument.

 

Money market fund shares are not a deposit or obligation of BNY Mellon. Investments in money market funds are not insured, guaranteed, recommended or otherwise endorsed in any way by BNY Mellon, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although a money market fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, fund shares are subject to investment risk and your investment may lose value. Money market fund yield performance represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results and investment returns will fluctuate. Before investing, investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, tax impact and expenses of the fund that are explained in each fund’s prospectus. The following factors, among many, could reduce any one fund’s income level and/or share price: interest rates could rise sharply, causing the value of the fund’s investments and its share price to drop; interest rates could drop, thereby reducing the fund’s yield; any of the fund’s holdings could have its credit rating downgraded or could default; and there are risks generally associated with concentrating investments in any one industry. Investments in instruments of non-U.S. issuers are subject to the risks of certain domestic events—such as political upheaval, financial troubles, nationalization (certain assets, entities or sectors) or natural disasters—that may weaken a country’s securities markets. Country risk may be especially high in emerging markets. Such investments may be affected by market risk on a global scale based on responses of certain foreign markets to markets of other countries or global market sectors. Foreign-currency denominated securities are subject to fluctuations in exchange rates that could have an adverse effect on the value or price of, or income derived from, the investment. Investments in foreign instruments are subject to the risk that the value of a foreign investment, measured in U.S. dollars, will decrease because of unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates.

 

Securities instruments and services other than money market mutual funds and off-shore liquidity funds are offered by BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC.

D. COLLATERAL MANAGEMENT & SEGREGATION

Liquidity DIRECT

 

Money market fund shares are not a deposit or obligation of BNY Mellon.  Investments in money market funds are not insured, guaranteed, recommended or otherwise endorsed in any way by BNY Mellon, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although a money market fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, fund shares are subject to investment risk and your investment may lose value. Money market fund yield performance represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results and investment returns will fluctuate. Before investing, investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, tax impact and expenses of the fund that are explained in each fund’s prospectus. The following factors, among many, could reduce any one fund’s income level and/or share price: interest rates could rise sharply, causing the value of the fund’s investments and its share price to drop; interest rates could drop, thereby reducing the fund’s yield; any of the fund’s holdings could have its credit rating downgraded or could default; and there are risks generally associated with concentrating investments in any one industry. Investments in instruments of non-U.S. issuers are subject to the risks of certain domestic events—such as political upheaval, financial troubles, nationalization (certain assets, entities or sectors) or natural disasters—that may weaken a country’s securities markets. Country risk may be especially high in emerging markets. Such investments may be affected by market risk on a global scale based on responses of certain foreign markets to markets of other countries or global market sectors. Foreign-currency denominated securities are subject to fluctuations in exchange rates that could have an adverse effect on the value or price of, or income derived from, the investment. Investments in foreign instruments are subject to the risk that the value of a foreign investment will decrease because of unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates.

 

Securities instruments and services other than money market mutual funds and off-shore liquidity funds are offered by BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC.

BNY Mellon and its affiliates lend and provide other products and services to issuers and others, and provide and receive related fees and compensation. Capital Markets is a member of FINRA and SIPC, which protects securities customers of its members up to $500,000 (including $250,000 for claims for cash). Explanatory brochure available upon request or at www.sipc.org. SIPC does not protect against loss due to market fluctuation. SIPC protection is not the same as, and should not be confused with, FDIC insurance.

 

This material is for reference purposes only and not intended to be a recommendation with respect to, or solicitation or offer to buy or sell, any particular financial instrument, including but not limited to BNY Mellon stock, or to participate in any particular trading strategy and is not tax, legal, investment or accounting advice. Nor is it an offer or solicitation in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation would be illegal.   Capital Markets does not make representations as to the actual value to be received in connection with a transaction. Although information is from sources believed reliable, there is no undertaking as to accuracy and opinions and information contained herein are subject to change without notice. Difficulties in the mortgage and broader credit markets have led to a substantial decrease in the availability of credit. The extent and duration of any future continued weakening of U.S. and global credit and financial markets, higher costs of borrowing, and disruptions in debt and equity markets potentially make it more difficult to liquidate an investment, or determine the impact, if any, on the performance and prospects of particular issuers or securities. A client should not enter into any transactions unless it has fully understood all risks and that not all investments will be suitable, and has independently determined that such transactions are appropriate, for the client. Prices may fluctuate and it is possible that such fluctuations may be substantial in response to many factors including, without limitation, general market and market sector conditions, U.S. and global, in addition to company specific conditions. Past performance is not a guide to future performance of any instrument, transaction or financial structure, and a loss of original capital may occur.

DISCLOSURES

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

DISCLOSURES


BNY Mellon Markets

 

BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC

 

Product-Specific Disclosures

 

Fixed Income Securities. Fixed income investments, including municipal bonds, are subject to various risks including changes in interest rates, call features, credit quality, possible default, difficulty in market valuations, liquidity, prepayments, early redemption, tax ramifications, inflation and other factors.

 

Floating Rates. Investment in any floating rate instrument presents unique risks, including the discontinuation of the floating rate reference or any successors or fallbacks thereto. Capital Markets does not guarantee and is not responsible for the availability or continued existence of a floating rate reference associated with any particular instrument. Before investing in any floating rate instrument, please evaluate the risks independently with your financial, tax and other advisors as you deem necessary.

 

Treasury and Government Agency Obligations. Not all obligations of the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. In addition, if not held to maturity, prices will rise and fall on interest rate movements in response to economic conditions.

 

Corporate Debt.  Corporate debt securities are subject to risks including, but not limited to: early call or redemption risk, reinvestment risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, event risk, sector risk or market risk.

 

Commercial Paper. Commercial paper, an unsecured, short-term debt instrument, is not usually backed by any form of collateral, and although there may be back up lines of credit or back up liquidity, may still be subject to default by the issuer.

 

Certificates of Deposit. Certificates of Deposit are most suitable for holding until maturity. Early withdrawal of any CD may not be available and may be subject to applicable penalties.

 

CDs: Limits on FDIC insurance. If you have or will have money on deposit (such as a savings account) at the same insured institution that issues the CDs, the total value of your deposit accounts could exceed the amount of FDIC insurance to which your deposits (including CDs) are entitled.

 

Yankee CDs/No FDIC Insurance. Yankee CDs are not FDIC insured in whole or in part.

 

Money Market Mutual Funds and Ultra Short Bond Funds. Money market funds generally only invest in certain high-quality, short-term investments issued by the U.S. government, U.S. corporations and state and local governments and are subject to strict diversification and maturity standards. Ultra-short bond funds are not subject to these requirements. The net asset value (NAV) of an ultra-short bond fund will fluctuate, while money market funds seek to maintain a stable NAV of $1 per share, although there is no guarantee that they will achieve this goal.

 

Not acting as Municipal Advisor, Financial Advisor or Fiduciary: Capital Markets is providing the information contained in this document for discussion purposes only in anticipation of serving as an Underwriter, Broker-Dealer, CP Dealer or Remarketing Agent to the addressee and is not recommending any action to the addressee.  The primary role of Capital Markets, as Underwriter, is to sell and purchase securities, as applicable, to and from investors, in arm's length commercial transactions; Capital Markets has financial and other interests that differ from those of the addressee.  As such, Capital Markets is not acting as a municipal advisor, financial advisor or fiduciary to the addressee or any other person or entity in connection with the information provided.  The information provided is not intended to be and should not be construed as "advice" within the meaning of Section 15B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the rules thereunder.  The addressee should consult with its own financial and/or municipal, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors, as applicable, to the extent it deems appropriate.  If the addressee would like a municipal advisor in a transaction that has legal fiduciary duties to the addressee, then the addressee is free to engage a municipal advisor to serve in that capacity.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Capital Markets is registered as a municipal advisor and may, from time to time, act as a municipal advisor with respect to municipal issuers and their investments.  Issuers should contact their Capital Markets representative to discuss an engagement with Capital Markets as a municipal advisor.

 

Mutual Funds. Before investing in mutual funds, it is important to understand the sales charges, expenses, and management fees that you will be charged, as well as any available volume-based breakpoint discounts, and whether the mutual fund's investment strategy is compatible with your investment objectives.

 

Equity Securities. Prices may fluctuate and it is possible that such fluctuations may be substantial in response to many factors including, without limitation, general market and market sector conditions, U.S. and global, in addition to company specific conditions.  Dividends are not guaranteed and are subject to change or elimination.

 

Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). ETFs generally represent an interest in a portfolio of securities and/or commodities, subjecting the investor to a substantial loss in principal and income due to market risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, currency exchange risk, and risks specific to a particular sector.

 

Options. Options carry a high level of risk and are not suitable for all investors. An option holder may lose the entire amount paid for the option in a relatively short period of time and an options writer may incur significant loss if the price of the underlying interest declines.

 

Investment Banking and Public Finance. The Company should discuss any financial instrument offering, engagement, or relationship with its own counsel and financial advisors. Capital Markets does not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice, and any information provided by Capital Markets does not include the legal, tax or accounting effects of consummating any transaction.

 

No Tax, Legal or Accounting Advice. Capital Markets does not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice. You should independently and carefully consider whether any information or investment instruments are suitable for your particular investment objectives and financial position and, if you believe it appropriate, seek professional advice, including tax, legal and accounting advice.

 

Past performance is not indicative of nor a guarantee of future performance and a loss of original capital may occur. You should not enter into any transactions unless you have fully understood all risks, that not all investments will be suitable, and you have independently determined that such transactions are appropriate, for you. Investing in securities involves risk, including loss of the principal amount invested. Additional information is provided on FINRA's Web site at https://www.finra.org/investors/learn-to-invest/key-investing-concepts/evaluating-investment-performance.

 

Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS).  Potential issuers of securities should discuss any financial instrument offering, engagement, or relationship with their own counsel and financial advisors.  Beginning in the second half of 2007, difficulties in the mortgage and broader credit markets led to a substantial decrease in the availability of credit.  As a result, U.S., European and global credit and financial markets in general have been, and are, experiencing difficulties.  The extent and duration of any future continued weakening of these markets, higher costs of borrowing, and disruptions in debt and equity markets may potentially make it more difficult to issue a financial instrument, exit an investment or define the impact, if any, on the performance and prospects of particular issuers or securities.  There can be no assurance that any of the governmental or private sector initiatives designed to strengthen the condition of the credit markets will be successful, and there is no way to know the effect that these initiatives will have on the performance of any particular securities or issuers.


Only GNMA is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.  Securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and MBS in general have recently experienced volatility and other increased risks due to homeowner defaults and severe problems in the housing market.

 

Structured products are not suitable for all investors. Structured Products are subject to special risks and considerations.  All relevant offering documents including, but not limited to, term sheets and prospectuses should be consulted and understood prior to investing. Investors should understand characteristics, risks, and potential rewards.  Investors should contact their own accounting, tax or legal advisors to review the suitability of any investment.

For example, if you currently receive images of your checks in your monthly statement those same check images will be available to you online.

 

For your convenience, we offer two choices regarding delivery of your account related documents:

 

Online - If you select this option we will deliver your account related documents to you electronically and securely through Online Banking. Simply log in and the account related documents that you elect to receive online will be available for you to view, print, or save. With this option you will no longer receive paper copies of account related documents in the mail.

 

Important Note For Clients with Duplicate Statements - If you currently have duplicate paper account related documents, by selecting the Online-only option for electronic delivery, you will suppress paper copies of account related documents completely.

Please note that for security reasons, at no time will we send you electronic account related documents via email. The only email we send is the reminder email that an account related document is available for viewing.

 

If you have selected "Online" delivery for your account related documents, once enrolled, you will be able to view any documents we have stored for you in our archive as well as any subsequent statements for eligible accounts.

 

In some cases, such as with new accounts, you will be able to view your account related documents online beginning with your next statement.
