PFG BNY Mellon Diversifier Strategy Fund (PFADX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks income with a secondary objective of capital appreciation by investing primarily in a portfolio of BNY Mellon-managed mutual funds and ETFs. The fund targets a strategic allocation of approximately 60% to investment grade fixed income or floating rate securities, 30% to diversifiers or real return assets, and 10% to natural resources or real estate, providing diversification against traditional asset classes such as U.S. aggregate bonds. Core holdings include BNY Mellon Core Plus Fund Class I (approximately 66-71% of net assets), BNY Mellon Global Real Return Fund Class I (20-25%), BNY Mellon Developed Markets Real Estate Securities Fund Class I (5%), iShares Global Infrastructure ETF (2%), and BNY Mellon Natural Resources Fund Class I (2%), encompassing U.S. and non-U.S. bonds, equities, real estate, infrastructure, and natural resources exposure.
Managed by The Pacific Financial Group, Inc. (TPFG) and sub-advised through BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc., the fund operates in the global conservative allocation category with a focus on mid-credit quality bonds and moderate interest-rate sensitivity, serving institutional and retail investors seeking balanced fixed income alternatives.

Launched on December 11, 2017, the fund maintains low portfolio turnover at 12% and an expense ratio of around 2.56%, with shares traded on NASDAQ.
