NEW YORK - BNY Mellon High Yield Strategies Fund (NYSE: DHF) announced today that its Board of Trustees has approved a monthly cash dividend of $0.0175 per share, consistent with the previous month’s distribution. Shareholders of record by the close of business on June 6, 2025, will be eligible for the dividend, scheduled for payment on June 23, 2025. The parent company BNY Mellon (BK) currently trades near its 52-week high of $90.62, with a robust market capitalization of $63.94 billion and a P/E ratio of 14.49.

The declared dividend matches the Fund’s April distribution, maintaining its regular payout to investors. The ex-dividend date is also set for June 6, 2025, meaning that buyers of the shares from that date onwards will not receive the dividend. According to InvestingPro, BNY Mellon has maintained dividend payments for 55 consecutive years, with a current dividend yield of 2.11%. The company has demonstrated impressive performance with a 54.62% return over the past year.

BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc., the investment adviser for the Fund, operates under BNY Investments, a global asset manager with $2.0 trillion in assets under management as of March 31, 2025. BNY Investments is recognized for its specialized expertise across major asset classes, supported by the extensive capabilities of BNY.

BNY, the parent company, oversees $53.1 trillion in assets under custody and/or administration as of the same date. As America’s oldest bank, established in 1784, BNY facilitates capital markets worldwide by offering a suite of services for managing and servicing financial assets throughout their lifecycle.

It is important to note that closed-end funds like DHF are traded on the stock exchange and their share value fluctuates with market conditions. The Fund’s shares may trade at a premium or discount to the net asset value of its portfolio, and there is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its investment objective.
