Background:
|
BNY Investments is the asset management arm of BNY, a publicly traded, institutional bank founded in 1784 by Alexander Hamilton. (Yes, that Hamilton.) The firm lays claim to being the United States' oldest bank and New York City's longest continuously operating financial services company.
BNY Investments traces its roots back to the 1951 founding of Dreyfus, when Jack Dreyfus took over the faltering Nesbett Fund and rebranded it as the Dreyfus Fund. Dreyfus built the fund's reputation through what the firm claims was the first mutual fund retail advertising campaign that started with a series of cleverly-captioned print cartoons and that culminated with its famed ad featuring a lion exiting the "J" Train on Wall Street1.
The "Dreyfus Lion" remains featured in the "D" in the Dreyfus logo.
Mellon Financial [see profile] purchased the Dreyfus fund family in 1994 and long used Dreyfus as Mellon's retail asset management brand. In the 2000s, Mellon created a multi-boutique model across equity, fixed income and money market mutual funds featuring its in-house, institutionally-focused investment management affiliates as subadvisors to the funds.
In the summer of 2007, Mellon merged with the Bank of New York to become the Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (aka BNY Mellon), and Dreyfus became the retail brand of BNY Mellon Asset Management (later BNY Mellon Investment Management). In 2024, BNY Mellon dropped the "Mellon" half of its name and rebranded as BNY, and BNY Mellon Investment Management became BNY Investments.
As of 2025, BNY Investments had seven boutiques:
ARX Investimentos;
Dreyfus (BNY's money market business);
Newton Investment Management;
Insight Investment;
Mellon (created out of the 2018 combination of the Boston Company, Mellon, and Mellon Capital);
Sigulfer Guff; and
Walter Scott.
BNY Investments' subadvisors over the years have also included Alcentra, Ankura, Blackfriars Asset Management, BNY Mellon Cash Investment Strategies, EACM Advisors, Fayez Sarofim & Co, Hamon Investment Group, Ivy Asset Management, Mellon Global Alternative Investments, Pareto, Standish, Urdang, and West I.B Mellon Asset Management.
