Celebrating Three Years of the BOLD Effect

Today's investors are progressively seeking more than just financial returns. BOLD shares allow clients to make a direct social impact with their liquidity investment by supporting the Howard University Graduation, Retention and Access to Continued Excellence (GRACE) Grant at no additional cost.

The Future is BOLD

BOLD and BOLD Future shares are offered through our flagship Dreyfus Government Cash Management fund. As extensions of our largest fund in the government money market category, as well as in the most significant liquidity space, both share classes include a charitable contribution to Howard University, a leading Historically Black College and University (HBCU).1

Since 2022, the BOLD impact is strong with over $1 million donated to the Howard University GRACE Grant. In addition, BNY and Dreyfus have mentored more than 30 students, hosted almost a dozen interns and hired two Howard University graduates to the BNY Analyst program.

 

 

We are proud to celebrate the three-year anniversary of the BOLD shares. In this time, BNY and Dreyfus have donated more than $1 million and taken significant steps toward building mentorships and real-life educational opportunities for Howard University students. It is an honor to enable our investors to make such a powerful impact on the next generation of leaders and scholars.

John Tobin
Chief Investment Officer, Dreyfus

 

 

Two Share Classes Are Available

BOLD shares are designed to address the liquidity needs of institutional investors. 

BOLD Future shares are designed to address the liquidity needs of retail investors and are available for purchase through financial advisers or other intermediaries.

The GRACE Grant Impact

Howard University’s GRACE Grant helps enable students with the highest need to remain on track for graduation. Since its inception, GRACE recipients saw an average 9% increase in retention, and an 18% increase in graduation rates compared to students in the same financial category who did not receive GRACE funds. These students now show an average four-year graduation rate of 67%.2

1The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, defines an HBCU as: "...any historically black college or university that was established prior to 1964, whose principal mission was, and is, the education of black Americans, and that is accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association determined by the Secretary [of Education] to be a reliable authority as to the quality of training offered or is, according to such an agency or association, making reasonable progress toward accreditation."

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of a money market fund carefully before investing. To obtain a prospectus, or summary prospectus, if available, that contains this and other information about the fund, contact your financial professional or visit dreyfus.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

You could lose money by investing in a money market fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund's sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time. Although the fund's board has no current intention to impose a fee upon the sale of shares, the board reserves the ability to do so after providing at least 60 days prior written notice to shareholders.

ESG evaluation risk. Where appropriate and as applicable, Dreyfus incorporates environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into its fundamental credit research process. Dreyfus may not consider ESG ratings or other ESG data or analysis in connection with every investment decision and may determine that other attributes of an investment outweigh ESG considerations when making an investment decision. ESG factors may not be determinative with respect to a given credit analysis or investment decision. Accordingly, a fund may invest in securities of a company/issuer with a negative ESG profile, and a fund may divest or not invest in a company/issuer with a positive ESG profile. In light of the fact that ESG data often lacks standardization, consistency and transparency, such data including ESG ratings for certain issuers/companies may not be available, complete or accurate. As a result, the fund’s investments may differ from, and potentially underperform funds that incorporate ESG data from other sources or utilize other methodologies.
