DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE(Unaudited)

For the period from November 1, 2022, through October 31, 2023, as provided by Nancy G. Rogers, CFA and Gregg Lee, CFA, Portfolio Managers

Market and Fund Performance Overview

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023, the BNY Mellon Bond Market Index Fund (the “fund”) produced a total return of .24% for Class I shares and −.02% for Investor shares.¹ In comparison, the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”) achieved a total return of .36% for the same period.²

Absolute returns were slightly positive in the fixed-income market, but all sectors posted excess returns versus Treasuries. The difference in returns between the fund and the Index was primarily the result of operating expenses that are not reflected in the Index’s results.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks to match the total return of the Index. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in bonds that are included in the Index (or other instruments with similar economic characteristics). To maintain liquidity, the fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in various short-term, fixed-income securities and money market instruments.

The fund’s investments are selected by a “sampling” process, which is a statistical process used to select bonds so that the fund has investment characteristics that closely approximate those of the Index. By using this sampling process, the fund typically will not invest in all of the securities in the Index.

Inflation Declines, Rate Hikes Eased

Fixed-income markets posted a positive performance during the reporting period. Despite a rise in longer-term Treasury yields, the yield curve remained inverted, driven in part by continued rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”). The Fed raised the federal funds rate six times during the reporting period, bringing the target rate to 5.25-5.50%.

Yields rose across the curve, with the two-year maturity rising to 5.09% and 30-year maturity finishing the period at 5.09% as well. The yield on the 10-year Treasury hit a low of 3.31% and rose to a high of 4.99%, finishing the period at 4.93%.

The dominant theme during the reporting period was the Fed’s continued efforts to fight inflation while also hoping to avoid causing a recession. Inflation continued to respond to the Fed’s policy, though it remained well above the 2% target rate.

Easing pricing pressures allowed the Fed to slow the size of its rate increases. After hikes of 75 basis points (“bps”) in November 2022 and 50 bps in December 2022, the Fed followed with increases of 25 bps in February, March and May 2023, before implementing pauses at the June and September 2023 meetings. Total rate increases numbered six, and the total magnitude came to 225 bps.

Broad-based gains in the bond market came despite a banking crisis in March 2023 that involved two bank failures, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. In addition, First Republic Bank was acquired by J.P. Morgan, and Credit Suisse was acquired by UBS. Markets were largely calmed by the FDIC’s regulatory response, which secured deposits, and by the Fed, which provided extra liquidity. These banks comprised a negligible portion of the Index, and performance was not affected.

In August 2023, an impasse in Congress regarding whether to raise the debt ceiling produced some volatility. In October 2023, the market experienced a delayed and slight reaction to the decision of Fitch Ratings to downgrade the U.S. government’s credit rating from AAA to AA+, based on the growing debt burden and the government’s apparent inability to take necessary actions. Given the large

2

portion of the Index that consists of Treasury securities, the downgrade lowered the overall Index rating on the U.S. government bonds, but from a market perspective this proved to be a non-event.

Also in October 2023, the attack on Israel by Hamas raised concerns about the possibility of a broader conflict in the Middle East. The prospect of a wider war also brought to the forefront the possibility that a resulting increase in oil prices could further stoke inflation.

Market Posts Broad-based, but Minimal Gains

The Index gained 0.36%, with gains relative to Treasuries occurring across the board. Corporates were the leading sector, outperforming Treasuries by over 400 bps. The leading portions of this sector were industrials, utilities and financials.

On the other hand, the securitized sector, which includes mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities, produced a negative absolute return. But relative to Treasuries, the return was positive.

Replicating the Composition of the Index

As an index fund, we attempt to match closely the returns of the Index by approximating its composition and credit quality. Although we do not actively manage the fund’s investments in response to the macroeconomic environment, we continue to monitor factors which affect the fund’s investments.

November 15, 2023

¹Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid. The fund’s return reflects the absorption of certain fund expenses by BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. pursuant to an agreement. Had these expenses not been absorbed, returns would have been lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price, yield and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.

²Source: Lipper Inc. — The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based, flagship benchmark that measures the investment-grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The Index includes Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), ABS and CMBS (agency and nonagency). Investors cannot invest directly in any index.

Bonds are subject generally to interest-rate, credit, liquidity and market risks, to varying degrees, all of which are more fully described in the fund’s prospectus. Generally, all other factors being equal, bond prices are inversely related to interest-rate changes, and rate increases can cause price declines.

Indexing does not attempt to manage market volatility, use defensive strategies, or reduce the effects of any long-term periods of poor index performance. The correlation between fund and index performance may be affected by the fund’s expenses and use of sampling techniques, changes in securities markets, changes in the composition of the index, and the timing of purchases and redemptions of fund shares.

FUND PERFORMANCE(Unaudited)

Comparison of change in value of a $10,000 investment in Investor shares and Class I shares of BNY Mellon Bond Market Index Fund with a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”).

^†Source: Lipper Inc.

Past performance is not predictive of future performance.

The above graph compares a hypothetical investment of $10,000 made in each of the Investor shares and Class I shares of BNY Mellon Bond Market Index Fund on 10/31/13 to a hypothetical investment of $10,000 made in the Index on that date. All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested.

The fund’s performance shown in the line graph above takes into account all applicable fees and expenses for Investor shares and Class I shares. The Index is a broad-based flagship benchmark that measures the investment-grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The Index includes Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), ABS and CMBS (agency and nonagency). Unlike a mutual fund, the Index is not subject to charges, fees and other expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in any index. Further information relating to fund performance, including expense reimbursements, if applicable, is contained in the Financial Highlights section of the prospectus and elsewhere in this report.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited)

As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees and other expenses. Using the information below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds. You also may pay one-time transaction expenses, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, which are not shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.

Review your fund’s expenses

The table below shows the expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in BNY Mellon Bond Market Index Fund from May 1, 2023 to October 31, 2023. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment
Assume actual returns for the six months ended October 31, 2023
	Class I	Investor Shares
Expenses paid per $1,000†	$.73	$1.95
Ending value (after expenses)	$938.70	$937.50

COMPARING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES WITH THOSE OF OTHER FUNDS (Unaudited)

Using the SEC’s method to compare expenses

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total cost) of investing in the fund with those of other funds. All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment
Assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended October 31, 2023
		Class I	Investor Shares
Expenses paid per $1,000†		$.77	$2.04
Ending value (after expenses)		$1,024.45	$1,023.19
†	Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .15% for Class I and .40% for Investor Shares, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

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. These figures have been derived from the fund’s financial statements.

BNY Mellon Bond Market Index Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc. (the “Company”), 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 four series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to match the total return of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser.

BNY Mellon Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge. The fund is authorized to issue 500 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Class I and Investor. Class I shares are sold primarily to bank trust departments and other financial service providers (including BNY Mellon and its affiliates), acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or an investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no Distribution Plan fees.

Differences between the two classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, as well as their minimum purchase and account balance requirements. 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 Company 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 are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may

62

require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Companyenters 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.

(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).

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 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:

The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has designated the Adviser as the fund’s valuation designee to make all fair value determinations with respect to the fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight and pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act.

63

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value and are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in debt securities, excluding short-term investments (other than U.S. Treasury Bills) are valued each business day by one or more independent pricing services (each, a “Service”) approved by the Board.Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of a Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by a Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by a Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Securities are valued as determined by a Service, based on methods which include consideration of the following: 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 Board. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to accurately reflect fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: 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. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.

For securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2023in valuing the fund’s investments:

(b) Foreign taxes: The 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 fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the fund and are reflected in the Statement of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred or those subject to reclaims as of October 31, 2023, if any, are disclosed in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

65

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(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 Mellon, 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. The securities on loan, if any, are also disclosed in the fund’s Statement 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 Mellon 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 October 31, 2023, BNY Mellon earned $10,630 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 October 31, 2023, the fund had securities on loan and the value of the related collateral received by the fund exceeded the value of the securities loaned by the fund. The value of the securities loaned by the fund, if any, are also disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and in the Statement of Investments. The total amount of cash and non-cash securities lending collateral received is disclosed in the footnotes to the Statement of Investments.

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

66

(e) 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.

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.

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.

67

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Mortgage-Related Securities Risk: Mortgage-related securities are complex derivative instruments, 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 its potential for price declines.

(f) 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.

(g) 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.

68

As of and during the period ended October 31, 2023, 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 October 31, 2023, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2023 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At October 31, 2023, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $263,232, accumulated capital losses $38,082,492 and unrealized depreciation $84,010,440.

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 netrealized capital gains, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 2023. The fund has $23,947,938 of short-term capital losses and $14,134,554 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 October 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022 were as follows: ordinary income $20,090,167 and $16,878,725, and long-term capital gains $0 and $8,149,345, respectively.

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 Mellon (the “BNYM 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. Prior to September 27, 2023, the Citibank Credit Facility was $823.5 million with Tranche A available in an amount equal to $688.5 million and Tranche B available in an amount equal to $135 million. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro

69

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

rata portion of commitment fees for Tranche A of the Citibank Credit Facility and the BNYM 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 October 31, 2023, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Adviser, the Adviser provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates to provide investment advisory, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund. The Adviser also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually obligated to pay the Adviser a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of .15% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser has agreed in its investment management agreement with the fund to: (1) pay all of the fund’s direct expenses, except management fees, Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan fees and certain other expenses, including the fees and expenses of the non-interested board members and their counsel, and (2) reduce its fees pursuant to the investment management agreement in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of the fees and expenses of the non-interested board members and their counsel. These provisions in the investment management agreement may not be amended without the approval of the fund’s shareholders. During the period ended October 31, 2023, fees reimbursed by the Adviser amounted to $84,000.

(b) Under the Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Investor shares may pay annually up to .25% of the value of its average daily net assets to compensate the Distributor for shareholder servicing activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Investor shares. During the period ended October 31, 2023, Investor shares were charged $551,165 pursuant to the Distribution Plan.

Under its terms, the Distribution Plan shall remain in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by a vote of a majority of those Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of or in any agreement related to the Distribution Plan.

The fund has an arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”), a subsidiary of BNY Mellon 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

70

fund includes this interest income and overdraft fees, if any, as interest income 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 $71,274 and Distribution Plan fees of $44,536, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $7,000.

(c) Each board member 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, during the period ended October 31, 2023, amounted to $1,011,268,073 and $1,066,868,794, respectively, of which $408,619,957 in purchases and $408,296,101 in sales were from mortgage dollar transactions.

Mortgage Dollar Rolls: A mortgage dollar roll transaction involves a sale by the fund of mortgage related securities that it holds with an agreement by the fund to repurchase similar securities at an agreed upon price and date. The securities purchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories than those securities sold. The fund accounts for mortgage dollar rolls as purchases and sales transactions. The fund executes mortgage dollar rolls entirely in the To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) market.

TBA Securities: During the period ended October 31, 2023, 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 Statement 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 securities sold) and TBA sale commitments, at value, respectively.

71

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

At October 31, 2023, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $678,185,056; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized depreciation on investments was $84,010,577 consisting of $514,027 gross unrealized appreciation and $84,524,604 gross unrealized depreciation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of BNY Mellon Bond Market Index Fund and Board of Directors of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc.:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of BNY Mellon Bond Market Index Fund (the Fund), a series of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc., including the statement of investments, as of October 31, 2023, 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 October 31, 2023, 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 October 31, 2023, by correspondence with custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other 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.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE(Unaudited)

For the period from November 1, 2022, through October 31, 2023, as provided by David France, CFA, Todd Frysinger, CFA, Vlasta Sheremeta, CFA, Michael Stoll and Marlene Walker Smith, portfolio managers.

Market and Fund Performance Overview

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023, the BNY Mellon Institutional S&P 500 Stock Index Fund’s (the “fund”) Class I shares produced a total return of 9.87%.¹ In comparison, the S&P 500^® Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, returned 10.13% for the same period.²

Large-cap equities gained ground during the reporting period as inflationary pressures eased, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) reduced the pace of interest-rate hikes, and economic growth remained positive. The difference in returns between the fund and the Index resulted primarily from transaction costs and operating expenses that are not reflected in Index results.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks to match the total return of the Index. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 95% of its total assets in common stocks included in the Index. To replicate Index performance, the fund’s portfolio managers use a passive management approach and generally purchase all the securities comprising the Index (though, at times, the fund may invest in a representative sample of the Index). Because the fund has expenses, performance will tend to be slightly lower than that of the Index. The fund attempts to have a correlation between its performance and that of the Index of at least 0.95, before expenses. A correlation of 1.00 would mean that the fund and the Index were perfectly correlated.

The Index is an unmanaged index of 500 common stocks, chosen to reflect the industries of the U.S. economy, and is often considered a proxy for the stock market in general.

Equities Gain Ground as Inflation Eases

Large-cap U.S. equities gained ground during the reporting period as interest-rate hikes implemented by the Fed gained traction in the fight against inflation. Inflation decreased from more than 7% annually in November 2022 to between 3% and 4% from June through September 2023, while the federal funds rate rose by more than 2% to a range of 5.25%–5.50%. Counter to expectations, despite the rise in interest rates, economic growth remained relatively strong, bolstered by robust consumer spending. As a result, investor expectations turned to hopes for a “soft landing,” in which the Fed would bring inflation under control without triggering a serious recession. Growth-oriented stocks performed particularly well in this environment, with market strength led by mega-cap technology-related names leveraged to advances in artificial intelligence (“AI”). Value-oriented and interest-rate-sensitive stocks underperformed, with the utilities, real estate and health care sectors lagging the Index by the widest margin.

Market sentiment shifted during the last three months of the period, as hawkish comments from the Fed dashed hopes that the central bank might soon reverse course and begin to reduce interest rates. As investors absorbed the increasing likelihood that rates would remain higher for longer, stocks lost some of their earlier gains.

2

Growth-Oriented Technology Shares Lead Markets Higher

Communication services stocks produced the strongest returns in the Index, led by fast-growing technology-centric companies such as Meta Platforms, Inc., Cl. A and Netflix, Inc., as investors’ risk appetites increased. The information technology sector, with an abundance of growth-oriented technology companies, outperformed as well, with notably strong returns from AI-related semiconductor manufacturers, such as NVIDIA Corp. and Broadcom, Inc. The consumer discretionary sector, leveraged to robust consumer spending, also produced relatively strong returns, with leading names including residential construction company PulteGroup, Inc., cruise line operator Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. and travel services provider Booking Holdings, Inc.

Conversely, the utilities sector came under pressure as rising interest rates undermined the appeal of high yielding stocks. Notable underperformers included The AES Corp. and Dominion Energy, Inc. Real estate stocks, such as Extra Space Storage, Inc. and Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. lost ground as rising mortgage rates impacted the residential market, while underused office space hurt commercial property values. Finally, health care lagged as demand for COVID-19 vaccines and treatments slowed as the pandemic waned, driving share price contraction for companies such as Insulet Corp., Illumina, Inc. and Moderna, Inc.

The fund’s use of derivatives during the period was limited to futures contracts employed solely to offset the impact of cash positions, which the fund holds pursuant to its operations, but the Index does not. Such holdings helped the fund more closely match the performance of the Index.

Replicating the Performance of the Index

Although the Fed may not raise rates further in the coming months, the impact of recent rate hikes is likely to continue rippling through the economy for some time to come. Time will tell if the rate increases already imposed can bring inflation down to the Fed’s target of 2%, and if the economy can continue to grow despite the impact of higher borrowing costs for consumers and businesses alike.

However developments unfold, in seeking to match the performance of the Index, we do not actively manage investments in response to macroeconomic trends. As always, we continue to monitor factors that affect the fund’s investments.

¹ Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid. The fund’s return reflects the absorption of certain fund expenses by BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. pursuant to an agreement. Had these expenses not been absorbed, returns would have been lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The following table describes the performance for the fiscal periods indicated. 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. These figures have been derived from the fund’s financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

BNY Mellon Institutional S&P 500 Stock Index Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc. (the “Company”), 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 four series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to match the total return of the S&P 500^® Index. BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. BNY Mellon Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is the distributor of the fund’s shares.

Class I shares are sold primarily to bank trust departments and other financial service providers (including BNY Mellon and its affiliates), acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or an investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no Distribution or Shareholder Service Plan fees. Class I shares are offered without a front-end sales charge or a contingent deferred sales charge.

The Company 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 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. 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 Companyenters 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.

(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

27

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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).

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 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:

The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has designated the Adviser as the fund’s valuation designee to make all fair value determinations with respect to the fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight and pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act.

Investments in equity securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. For open short positions, asked prices are used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset

28

value. All of the preceding securities are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant American Depositary Receipts and futures. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to accurately reflect fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: 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. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.

For securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Futures, which are traded on an exchange, are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day and are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2023in 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) Foreign taxes: The 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 fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the fund and are reflected in the Statement of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred or those subject to reclaims as of October 31, 2023, if any, are disclosed in the fund’s Statement 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 Mellon, 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. The securities on loan, if any, are also disclosed in the fund’s Statement of Investments. The fund is entitled

30

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 Mellon 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 October 31, 2023, BNY Mellon earned $7,682 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 October 31, 2023, the fund had securities on loan and the value of the related collateral received by the fund exceeded the value of the securities loaned by the fund. The value of the securities loaned by the fund, if any, are also disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and in the Statement of Investments. The total amount of cash and non-cash securities lending collateral received is disclosed in the footnotes to the Statement of Investments.

(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 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.

(f) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are normally declared and paid quarterly. 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

31

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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.

(g) 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 October 31, 2023, 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 October 31, 2023, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2023 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At October 31, 2023, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $8,161,442, undistributed capital gains $397,697,912 and unrealized appreciation $1,321,628,042.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022 were as follows: ordinary income $32,013,213 and $43,708,894, and long-term capital gains $304,002,450 and $338,902,418, respectively.

During the period ended October 31, 2023, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for treating a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as a distribution for tax purposes, the fund decreased total distributable earnings (loss) by $69,660,633 and increased paid-in capital by the same amount. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.

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 Mellon (the “BNYM Credit Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the

32

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. Prior to September 27, 2023, the Citibank Credit Facility was $823.5 million with Tranche A available in an amount equal to $688.5 million and Tranche B available in an amount equal to $135 million. 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 BNYM 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 October 31, 2023, the fund was charged $28,474 for interest expense. These fees are included in Interest expense in the Statement of Operations. The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Facilities during the period ended October 31, 2023 was approximately $504,658 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 5.64%.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Adviser, the Adviser provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates to provide investment advisory, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund. The Adviser also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually obligated to pay the Adviser a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of .20% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser has agreed in its investment management agreement with the fund to: (1) pay all of the fund’s direct expenses, except management fees and certain other expenses, including the fees and expenses of the non-interested board members and their counsel, and (2) reduce its fees pursuant to the investment management agreement in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of the fees and expenses of the non-interested board members and their counsel. These provisions in the investment management agreement may not be amended without the approval of the fund’s shareholders. During the period ended October 31, 2023, fees reimbursed by the Adviser amounted to $244,500.

(b) The fund has an arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”), a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of the Adviser,

33

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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 components of “Due to BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc.” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fee of $316,187, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $18,600.

(c) Each board member 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 of investment securities, excluding short-term securities and futures, during the period ended October 31, 2023, amounted to $37,700,604 and $704,373,857, respectively.

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. The fund is deemed a “limited” derivatives user under the rule and is required to limit its derivatives exposure so that the total notional value of applicable derivatives does not exceed 10% of fund’s net assets, and is subject to certain reporting requirements. Each type of derivative instrument that was held by the fund during the period ended October 31, 2023 is discussed below.

Futures: In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the fund is exposed to market risk, including equity price 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

34

exchange guarantees the futures against default. Futures open at October 31, 2023 are set forth in the Statement of Investments.

The following table summarizes the average market value of derivatives outstanding duringthe period ended October 31, 2023:

	Average Market Value ($)
Equity futures	14,454,777

At October 31, 2023, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $478,838,123; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $1,321,628,042, consisting of $1,359,487,091 gross unrealized appreciation and $37,859,049 gross unrealized depreciation.

NOTE 5—Shareholder Demand Review:

On July 30, 2021, the fund Board received a demand letter sent on behalf of a shareholder, alleging that the fund paid excessive management fees to the Adviser, and demanding that the Board investigate the compensation paid by the fund to the Adviser and take certain other actions.  In response to the demand letter, the Board established a Demand Review Committee (the “Committee”) of independent members of the Board to investigate the shareholder’s claims with the assistance of independent counsel. At the fund’s fourth quarter 2022 Board meeting, the Committee informed the Board that it had concluded its investigation, presented the findings of its investigation, and recommended that the Board reject taking any of the actions outlined in the demand letter. The Board accepted the Committee’s recommendation and voted to reject taking the actions outlined in the demand letter. During the reporting period, the fund paid $87,152 in extraordinary expense disclosed as Legal fees within the Statement of Operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of BNY Mellon Institutional S&P 500 Stock Index Fund and Board of Directors of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc. :

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of BNY Mellon Institutional S&P 500 Stock Index Fund (the Fund), a series of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc., including the statement of investments, as of October 31, 2023, 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 October 31, 2023, 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 October 31, 2023, by correspondence with custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other 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.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE(Unaudited)

For the period from November 1, 2022, through October 31, 2023, as provided by portfolio managers Alan R. Christensen, Catherine P. Crain, W. Gentry Lee, Jr., Christopher B. Sarofim, and Charles E. Sheedy of Fayez Sarofim & Co.,LLC, sub-adviser.

Market and Fund Performance Overview

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023, BNY Mellon Tax Managed Growth Fund (the “fund”) produced a total return of 10.66% for Class A shares, 9.83% for Class C shares and 10.95% for Class I shares.¹ In comparison, the S&P 500^® Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, returned 10.13% for the same period.²

U.S. equities rose during the reporting period as investors began to anticipate the end of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) rate-hiking cycle. The fund’s relative performance versus its benchmark was due primarily to favorable security selection.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation consistent with minimizing realized capital gains. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in common stocks and employs a tax-managed strategy, which is an approach to managing a fund that seeks to minimize capital gains tax liabilities.

In choosing stocks, the fund’s sub-adviser first identifies economic sectors that it believes will expand over the next three to five years or longer. Using fundamental analysis, the fund’s sub-adviser then seeks companies within these sectors that have dominant positions in their industries, and that have demonstrated sustained patterns of profitability, strong balance sheets, an expanding global presence and the potential to achieve predictable, above-average earnings growth. The fund’s sub-adviser also is alert to companies that they consider undervalued in terms of current earnings, assets or growth prospects.

The fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated American depositary receipts (ADRs). The fund attempts to enhance after-tax returns by minimizing its annual taxable distributions to shareholders. To do so, the fund employs a “buy-and hold” investment strategy, which generally has resulted in an annual portfolio turnover rate of below 15%.

Stocks Aided by Anticipated End to Rate Hikes

The Index steadily appreciated over the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023, returning 10.13% and rebounding from a challenging 2022. Investor enthusiasm was driven by hopes that the Fed could successfully engineer a soft landing, as inflation began to cool, while the U.S. economy remained resilient. Expectations that the Fed’s rate-hike campaign was nearing an end propelled the stock market in the period. However, persistently high inflation, a tepid economic outlook from corporations, the U.S. regional banking crisis and government debt-ceiling crisis tempered sentiment.

After raising the federal funds rate through 11 consecutive increases to the current 5.25%−5.50% range in July 2023, the Fed held rates steady in the September 2023 Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Its quantitative tightening efforts have produced signs of successfully cooling the economy, with labor growth decelerating and wages softening. The

headline Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) rate was 3.7% for the 12 months ending September 2023 — a meaningful decline from the recent high of 9.1% for the 12 months ending June 2022, yet still above the 2% inflation rate targeted by the Fed.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell discussed his plan to continually evaluate emerging data and allow time for the full impact of the elevated rates to flow through the economy before any further rate increases. Investor sentiment has accordingly shifted to preparing for a “higher for longer” interest-rate environment, with speculation now turning to when the Fed would begin cutting rates.

Consistent themes from management teams arose during the earnings seasons over the course of the year. Internally, companies are focused on implementing cost-saving strategies and leveraging artificial intelligence and other machine learning processes to optimize performance and reduce expenses. Externally, management teams have observed the impacts of a resilient U.S. consumer and an uneven recovery in China, as it reopens after years of restrictive “Zero COVID-19” policies.

A U.S. regional banking crisis in March 2023 impacted markets, as some banks faced mounting losses on their long-dated bonds due to rising interest rates. Many depositors lost confidence and moved their money into larger money center banks in a “flight to safety,” and three regional banks in the U.S. collapsed, went into receivership and were eventually sold to larger banks. The swift government response was enough to calm global markets, and the regional banking crisis should serve to indirectly ameliorate inflation by tightening bank lending standards. Furthermore, a deal announced in May 2023 to lift the $31.4 trillion debt limit and avert a U.S. credit default buoyed markets after a months-long stalemate between Congress and the White House.

While there was a steady uptrend for stocks, a deeper look at the market’s performance reveals that seven mega-cap technology companies (dubbed the “Magnificent Seven”) have driven the majority of the returns. This narrow, tech-focused leadership suggests there was less optimism for the broader economy. In October 2023, the 10-year Treasury yield reached and surpassed 5% for the first time in 16 years. While ultimately retreating, these rates served as a psychological and technical milestone that marked a new phase in credit tightening for companies and consumers. Toward the end of the 12-month period, angst built up, as markets continued to digest higher interest rates and a generally muted economic outlook. These concerns began to sour investor sentiment, and the stock market pulled back from its bullish run.

Within the Index, the communication services, information technology, and consumer discretionary sectors were relative outperformers, while the utilities, real estate and health care sectors were relative laggards in the period.

Performance Driven by Stock Selection

The fund’s relative performance versus the Index in the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023 was driven by a positive stock selection effect. Within the health care and consumer discretionary sectors, the fund benefited from both allocation and selection effects. The fund also benefited from its selective holdings across the financials sector, with a particular focus on non-bank positions. The top contributors to relative performance included Microsoft

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE(Unaudited) (continued)

Corp., Novo Nordisk A/S, Amazon.com, Inc., ASML Holding NV and Alphabet, Inc. (parent of Google).

Conversely, within the information technology sector, the impact of a negative stock selection effect detracted from relative performance. Across the consumer staples and energy sectors, an overweight allocation relative to the Index also resulted in a negative allocation effect, while the fund’s holdings trailed sector peers, contributing negatively to relative performance. The top detractors from relative performance include Chevron Corp., The Estée Lauder Companies, Inc., UnitedHealth Group, Inc., Texas Instruments, Inc. and PepsiCo. Inc.

A Focus on Quality

With the federal funds rate at its highest levels since 2007, and Fed Chair Powell signaling that these rates will remain “higher for longer,” investor focus has shifted toward profitability. This renewed attention to earnings and cash flow durability drives earnings pressure for companies exposed to fluctuating financing costs or credit-exposed consumers. Ultimately, these pressures may result in margin compression, an inability to pursue growth strategies and a reduced capacity to return capital to shareholders in the form of dividends or share buybacks.

The fund continues to seek out companies with better credit quality, strong balance sheets, pricing power and the capability to self-fund growth and expansion plans. Companies with these characteristics should be better positioned to withstand macroeconomic headwinds and generate attractive returns, while continuing capital distribution plans to shareholders.

We have been focused on the broader financial implications of a prolonged, tightening monetary policy environment and have re-evaluated our holdings through this lens by determining, among other considerations, whether stocks in the fund are exposed to risk related to capital, labor or energy requirements. The businesses in which we invest minimize exposure to these risks and naturally exhibit higher margins and returns on capital, giving them an advantage in dealing with changing economic conditions and in consistently generating free cash flow, which positions the fund to outperform over a long-term investment horizon.

¹Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid and does not take into consideration the maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge imposed on redemptions in the case of Class C shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.

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. These figures have been derived from the fund’s financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

BNY Mellon Tax Managed Growth Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc. (the “Company”), 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 four series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation consistent with minimizing realized capital gains. BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser.

Prior to February 27, 2023, Fayez Sarofim & Co. served as the sub-adviser to the fund pursuant to a sub-investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and Fayez Sarofim & Co. (the “Prior Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement”). Effective February 27, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved an amended sub-investment advisory agreement (the “Amended Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement”), which reflected a change in Fayez Sarofim & Co.’s corporate form, from a Texas corporation to a Delaware limited liability company, and a new name, Fayez Sarofim & Co., LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”). The sub-advisory fee payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser under the Amended Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement is the same as the sub-advisory fee under the Prior Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement. The fund’s investment strategy and management policies did not change in connection with the implementation of the Amended Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement. The Adviser continues to serve as the fund’s investment adviser.

BNY Mellon Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is the distributor of the fund’s shares. The fund is authorized to issue 600 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock. The fund currently has authorized three classes of shares: Class A (300 million shares authorized), Class C (100 million shares authorized) and Class I (200 million shares authorized). Class A and Class C shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear Distribution fees and/or Service Plan fees. Class A shares generally are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class A shares bought without an initial sales charge as part of an investment of $1 million or more may be charged a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% if redeemed within one year. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class C

19

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after the date of purchase, without the imposition of a sales charge. Class I shares are sold primarily to bank trust departments and other financial service providers (including BNY Mellon and its affiliates), acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or an investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no Distribution or Service Plan fees. Class I shares are offered without a front-end sales charge or CDSC. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, 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 Company 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 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. 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 Companyenters 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.

(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).

20

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 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:

The Board has designated the Adviser as the fund’s valuation designee to make all fair value determinations with respect to the fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight and pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Act.

Investments in equity securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. For open short positions, asked prices are used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value. All of the preceding securities are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

21

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs and futures. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to accurately reflect fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events 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 fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: 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. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.

For securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2023in 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:†
Equity Securities - Common Stocks	123,025,451	-	-	123,025,451
Investment Companies	1,960,390	-	-	1,960,390

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

(b) Foreign currency transactions: The 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

22

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 fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange 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: The 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 fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the fund and are reflected in the Statement of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred or those subject to reclaims as of October 31, 2023, if any, are disclosed in the fund’s Statement 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 Mellon, 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. The securities on loan, if any, are also disclosed in the fund’s Statement 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

23

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner, BNY Mellon 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 October 31, 2023, BNY Mellon earned $840 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 October 31, 2023, the fund had securities on loan and the value of the related collateral received by the fund exceeded the value of the securities loaned by the fund. The value of the securities loaned by the fund, if any, are also disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and in the Statement of Investments. The total amount of cash and non-cash securities lending collateral received is disclosed in the footnotes to the Statement of Investments.

(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 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.

Foreign Investment Risk: To the extent the fund invests in foreign securities, the 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.

24

(f) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are normally declared and paid quarterly. 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.

(g) 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 October 31, 2023, 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 October 31, 2023, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2023 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At October 31, 2023, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $257,206, undistributed capital gains $8,594,954 and unrealized appreciation $77,066,424.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022 were as follows: ordinary income $544,978 and $85,003, and long-term capital gains $8,970,254 and $6,181,556, respectively.

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 Mellon (the “BNYM Credit Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the

25

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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. Prior to September 27, 2023, the Citibank Credit Facility was $823.5 million with Tranche A available in an amount equal to $688.5 million and Tranche B available in an amount equal to $135 million. 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 BNYM 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 October 31, 2023, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.

NOTE 3—Management Fee, Sub-Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to an investment management agreement with the Adviser, the Adviser provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates to provide management, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund. The Adviser also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually obligated to pay the Adviser a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of .95% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser has agreed in its investment management agreement with the fund to: (1) pay all of the fund’s direct expenses, except management fees, Rule 12b-1 Distribution/Service Plan fees and certain other expenses, including the fees and expenses of the non-interested board members and their counsel, and (2) reduce its fees pursuant to the investment management agreement in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of the fees and expenses of the non-interested board members and their counsel. These provisions in the investment management agreement may not be amended without the approval of the fund’s shareholders. During the period ended October 31, 2023, fees reimbursed by the Adviser amount to $16,242.

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 .2175% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets.

During the period ended October 31, 2023, the Distributor retained $1,200 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares, $8 and

26

$755 from CDSC fees on redemptions of the fund’s Class A and Class C shares, respectively.

(b) Under the Distribution Plans adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Distribution Plans”) under the Act, Class A shares pay annually up to .25% of the value of its average daily net assets to compensate the Distributor and its affiliates for shareholder servicing activities and expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A shares. The Distributor may compensate Service Agents in respect of distribution-related services with regard to the fund and/or shareholder services to the Service Agents’ clients that hold Class A shares. Class C shares pay the Distributor for distributing its shares at an aggregate annual rate of .75% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. The Distributor may pay one or more Service Agents for distribution-related services, and determines the amounts, if any, to be paid to Service Agents and the basis on which such payments are made. Class C shares are also subject to a service plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Service Plan”), under which Class C shares pay the Distributor for providing certain services to the holders of their shares, a fee at an annual rate of .25% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. Services include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund, and providing services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Distributor may make payments to certain Service Agents in respect of these services. During the period ended October 31, 2023, Class A and Class C shares were charged $244,084 and $27,312, respectively, pursuant to their Distribution Plans. During the period ended October 31, 2023, Class C shares were charged $9,104 pursuant to the Service Plan.

Under its terms, the Distribution Plans and Service Plan shall remain in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by a vote of a majority of those Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of or in any agreement related to the Distribution Plans or Service Plan.

The fund has an arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”), a subsidiary of BNY Mellon 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 components of “Due to BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management

27

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

fee of $101,486, Distribution Plans fees of $22,131 and Service Plan fees of $674, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $2,744.

To the Shareholders of BNY Mellon Tax Managed Growth Fund and Board of Directors of BNY Mellon Investment Funds IV, Inc.:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2023, 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.
