Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund's investments relating to Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 (FAS 157),
| Fair Value Measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below. Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2009 in valuing the fund's investments:
| Level 3 - | ||||
| Level 1 - | Significant | |||
| Quoted | Level 2 - Other Significant | Unobservable | ||
| Assets ($) | Prices | Observable Inputs | Inputs | Total |
| Investment in Securities | 28,925,474 | 0 | 0 | 28,925,474 |
| Other Financial Instruments+ | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Liabilities ($) | ||||
| Other Financial Instruments+ | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Other financial instruments include derivative instruments, such as futures, forward currency exchange contracts, swap contracts and options contracts. Amounts shown represents unrealized appreciation (depreciation) at period end.
Portfolio valuation: Investments in 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 sale price. 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. 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. When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately 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 of Trustees. 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 contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the Board of Trustees, certain factors may be considered 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. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Forward currency exchange contracts are valued at the forward rate.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the funds 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 Manager, U.S. Government and Agency securities or letters of credit. The fund is entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner.
Additional investment related disclosures are hereby incorporated by reference to the annual and semi-annual reports previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-CSR.

At March 31, 2009, the aggregate cost of investment securities for income tax purposes was $188,438,181. Net unrealized depreciation on investments was $51,236,896 of which $4,013,832 related to appreciated investment securities and $55,250,728 related to depreciated investment securities.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund's investments relating to Financial Accounting Standard No. 157 (FAS 157),
| Fair Value Measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below. Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) . |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2009 in valuing the fund's investments:
| Level 2 - Other Significant | Level 3 -Significant | |||
| Assets ($) | Level 1 -Quoted Prices | Observable Inputs | Unobservable Inputs | Total |
| Investment in Securities | 137,201,285 | 0 | 0 137,201,285 | |
| Other Financial Instruments+ | 0 | 0 | 0 0 | |
| Liabilities ($) | ||||
| Other Financial Instruments+ | 0 | 0 | 0 0 |
Other financial instruments include derivative instruments, such as futures, forward currency exchange contracts, swap contracts and options contracts. Amounts shown represents unrealized appreciation (depreciation) at period end.
Portfolio valuation: Investments in 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. 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, except for open short positions, where the asked price is 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. When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately 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 portfolio calculates its net asset value, the portfolio may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. 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 contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the Board of Trustees, certain factors may be considered 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. Financial futures are valued at the last sales price.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, the portfolio may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the portfolios 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 Manager, U.S. Government and Agency securities or letters of credit. The portfolio is entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the portfolio bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner.
Additional investment related disclosures are hereby incorporated by reference to the annual and semi-annual reports previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-CSR.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2009 in valuing the fund's investments:

Other financial instruments include derivative instruments, such as futures, forward currency exchange contracts, swap contracts and options contracts. Amounts shown represents unrealized appreciation (depreciation) at period end.
Portfolio valuation: Investments in 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. 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. 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. When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately 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 portfolio calculates its net asset value, the portfolio may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. 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 contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the Board of Trustees, certain factors may be considered 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. Financial futures are va lued at the last sales price.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, the portfolio may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the portfolios 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 Manager, U.S. Government and Agency securities or letters of credit. The portfolio is entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the portfolio be ars the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner.
The portfolio may invest in financial futures contracts in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the market. The portfolio is exposed to market risk as a result of changes in the value of the underlying financial instruments. Investments in financial futures require the portfolio to mark to market on a daily basis, which reflects the change in the market value of the contracts at the close of each days trading. Accordingly, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses. When the contracts are
closed, the portfolio recognizes a realized gain or loss. These investments require initial margin deposits with a broker, which consist of cash or cash equivalents, up to approximately 10% of the contract amount. 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.
Additional investment related disclosures are hereby incorporated by reference to the annual and semi-annual reports previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-CSR.

Financial futures are valued at the last sales price. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Forward currency exchange contracts are valued at the forward rate.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, the portfolio may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the portfolios 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.

Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the portfolio bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in , the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner.
The portfolio may enter into forward currency exchange contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings and to settle foreign currency transactions. When executing forward currency exchange contracts, the
portfolio is obligated to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specified rate on a certain date in the future. With respect to sales of forward currency exchange contracts, the portfolio would incur a loss if the value of the contract increases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed. The portfolio realizes a gain if the value of the contract decreases between those dates. With respect to purchases of forward currency exchange contracts, the portfolio would incur a loss if the value of the contract decreases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed. The portfolio realizes a gain if the value of the contract increases between those dates. The portfolio is also exposed to credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance on these forward currency exchange contracts which is typically limited to the unrealized gain on each open contract.
