Selection Methodology: The stocks represented in the Portfolio are issued primarily by companies that are among the oldest, largest or most profitable American companies in their respective industries, and have established records of earnings over a relatively long time. These are commonly known as "blue chip" stocks. Dividend payments, while not required, are considered. Fees & Expenses |
Defining Your Costs You will pay an initial sales charge of about 1% the first time you buy. In addition, you'll pay a deferred sales charge in six monthly installments of $2.50 per 1,000 units, deducted from the Portfolio's net asset value each year of its two-year life ($30.00 total). |

Deferred Sales Charge Year 1 | 1.50% | $15.00 |

If you sell your units before the final deferred sales charge installment in either the first or second year, the remaining balance of your deferred sales charge for that year will be deducted, along with the estimated costs of selling Portfolio securities. If you roll over to a successor Portfolio, if available, the initial sales charge on that Portfolio will be waived. You will only pay the deferred sales charge. | ||
Volume Purchase Discounts For larger purchases, the overall sales charges are reduced to put more of your investment dollars to work for you.

Risk Considerations
|
Distributions and Taxes | ||
Distribution Frequency (if any) | ||
Two (2) per year. | ||
Reinvestment Options | ||
By selecting the reinvestment option, you may choose to have your distributions used to purchase additional units of the fund (reinvestment). As such, your investment will increase each distribution period. Because distributions are based in part on the size of your investment, these payments may increase proportionately. | ||
Tax Reporting | ||
Generally, dividends and any net capital gains will be subject to tax each year, whether or not reinvested. When seeking capital appreciation, managing tax liability on capital gains can be important to your overall return. By holding this Fund for more than one year, certain individuals may be eligible for favorable Federal tax rates on net long-term capital gains (currently no more than 20%). Please consult your tax advisor concerning state and local taxation. |

The Bank of New York Defined Asset Funds® are established as Unit Investment Trusts. By definition, a trust account requires a trustee. The trustee holds the trust securities, ensuring their safekeeping until the trust is terminated. The trustee is also responsible for recordkeeping, for collecting any interest or dividend income and principal payments, and for distributing this money to investors.
