LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholder:

This annual report for Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Government Money Market Fund covers the 12-month period ended March 31, 2017. During the reporting period, the fund produced the following yields and effective yields:1

    Yield    Effective Yield

Institutional Shares        0.36%           0.36%

Hamilton Shares              0.31%           0.31%

Premier Shares                 0.07%           0.07%

Classic Shares                 0.01%           0.01%

Agency Shares               0.21%           0.21%

Yields of money market instruments climbed modestly over the reporting period when the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) twice raised short-term interest rates and investors looked forward to higher levels of inflation and economic growth.

U.S. Economy Continued to Expand Slowly

The reporting period began near the start of a recovery from several troubling economic developments, including an economic slowdown in China and plunging global commodity prices. In April 2016, 144,000 new jobs were created and the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 5.0%. Manufacturing and utility output advanced strongly, and inflation accelerated as energy prices recovered from earlier weakness. Economic data were mixed in May when only 24,000 new jobs were created while the unemployment rate declined to 4.7% as workers left the labor force. Investors remained cautious in June due to uncertainty surrounding a referendum in the United Kingdom to leave the European Union. Meanwhile, a robust 271,000 jobs were created during the month, but the unemployment rate increased to 4.9%. U.S. GDP grew at only a 1.4% annualized rate over the second quarter of 2016.

Robust job growth continued in July with the addition of 252,000 positions and an unchanged unemployment rate. The manufacturing and services sectors continued to grow, but at slower rates than previously. August brought a decline in new job creation to 176,000 positions and a contraction in manufacturing activity. In September, 249,000 new jobs were added even as the unemployment rate climbed to 5.0%. U.S. GDP grew at a relatively robust 3.5% annualized rate over the third quarter.

Despite uncertainty ahead of the U.S. election, economic data generally remained positive in October. The unemployment rate slid to 4.9% as an estimated 124,000 jobs were created and

quarterly corporate earnings exceeded most analysts’ expectations. November saw a post-election rally in most financial markets when investors looked forward to more stimulative fiscal, tax, and regulatory policies from a new presidential administration. Consumer confidence rose to its highest level since July 2007, and the unemployment rate slid to 4.6% while 164,000 new jobs were created.

The Fed implemented a long-awaited rate hike in December, raising the overnight federal funds rate by 0.25 percentage points to between 0.50% and 0.75%. The unemployment rate ticked up to end the year at 4.7%, and 155,000 jobs were created during the month. U.S. GDP growth moderated to a 2.1% annualized rate during the fourth quarter as declining export activity partly offset gains in consumer spending and corporate profits.

In January 2017, the economy added 216,000 new jobs, but the unemployment rate moved higher to 4.8%. Meanwhile, both manufacturing and non-manufacturing activity continued to expand. February saw the addition of 219,000 jobs, a reduction in first-time claims for unemployment benefits, and a decrease in the unemployment rate to 4.7%. Corporate earnings reports generally continued to exceed analysts’ expectations, manufacturing activity expanded, and consumer and business confidence remained high. March brought another rate hike from the Fed, its second in three months. Citing a strong labor market and mounting inflationary pressures, monetary policymakers raised the target for the federal funds rate another 0.25 percentage points to between 0.75% and 1.00%. Although the unemployment rate fell to a multi-year low of 4.5%, job creation declined to an estimated 98,000 new positions during the month.

More Rate Hikes Expected

As of the reporting period’s end, investors have continued to respond positively to expectations that business-friendly government policies will fuel greater economic growth. Therefore, most analysts expect the Fed to raise short-term rates further over the remainder of 2017.

In the rising-interest-rate environment, we have maintained the fund’s weighted average maturity in a range that is modestly shorter than industry averages. This strategy is intended to capture higher yields as they become available. As always, we have retained our longstanding focus on quality and liquidity.

You could lose money by investing in a money market fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.

Although, the fund’s board has no current intention to impose a fee upon the sale of shares or temporarily suspend redemptions if the fund’s liquidity falls below certain levels, the board reserves the ability to do so after providing at least 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders.

1 Effective yield is based upon dividends declared daily and reinvested monthly. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Yields fluctuate. Yields provided for the fund reflect the absorption of certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation pursuant to an undertaking in effect that may be extended, terminated, or modified at any time. Had these expenses not been absorbed, fund yields would have been lower, and in some cases, 7-day yields during the reporting period would have been negative absent the expense absorption.

Sincerely,

Patricia A. Larkin
Senior Portfolio Manager

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES (Unaudited)

As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees and other expenses. Using the information below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds. You also may pay one-time transaction expenses, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, which are not shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.

Review your fund’s expenses

The table below shows the expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Government Money Market Fund from October 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017.

COMPARING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
WITH THOSE OF OTHER FUNDS
(Unaudited)

Using the SEC’s method to compare expenses

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total cost) of investing in the fund with those of other funds. All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Government Money Market Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of Dreyfus Institutional Reserves Funds (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company currently offering three series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser.

MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge. The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Institutional shares, Hamilton shares, Agency shares, Premier shares and Classic shares. Hamilton shares, Agency shares, Premier shares and Classic shares are subject to a Service Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

It is the fund’s policy to maintain a constant net asset value (“NAV”) per share of $1.00; the fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so. There is no assurance, however, that the fund will be able to maintain a constant NAV per share of $1.00.

The Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC

16

 

registrants. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate market value, the fair value of the portfolio securities will be determined by procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Company’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”)..

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the 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. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in

17

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

accordance with rules under the Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of March 31, 2017 in valuing the fund’s investments:

   

Valuation Inputs

Short-Term Investments ($)

Level 1 - Unadjusted Quoted Prices

-

Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs

5,163,829,871

Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs

-

Total

5,163,829,871

 See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.

At March 31, 2017, there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and is recognized on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.

The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions, deemed to be creditworthy by Dreyfus, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase and the fund’s agreement to resell such securities at a mutually agreed upon price. Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, such securities must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the terms of the repurchase price plus accrued interest at all times. If the value of the underlying securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, the fund will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the fund maintains its right to sell the underlying securities at market value and may claim any resulting loss against the seller. The collateral is held on behalf of the fund by the tri-party administrator with respect to any tri-party agreement. The fund may also jointly enter into one or more repurchase agreements with other Dreyfus-managed funds in accordance with an exemptive order granted by the SEC pursuant to section 17(d) and Rule 17d-1 under the Act. Any joint repurchase agreements must be collateralized fully by U.S. Government securities.

18

 

(c) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains.

(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

As of and during the period ended March 31, 2017, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended March 31, 2017, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each tax year in the two-year period ended March 31, 2017 and each tax year in the two-year period ended December 31, 2015 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At March 31, 2017, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. Furthermore, capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses.

The accumulated capital loss carryover is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net realized capital gains, if any, realized subsequent to March 31, 2017. The fund has $120,367 of short-term capital losses which can be carried forward for an unlimited period.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended March 31, 2017, March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were all ordinary income.

At March 31, 2017, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the Statement of Investments).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTE 2—Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with Dreyfus, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .14% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. Out of its fee, Dreyfus pays all of the expenses of the fund except management fees, Rule 12b-1 Service Plan fees, brokerage fees, taxes, and expenses, fees and expenses of non-interested Trustees (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, Dreyfus is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Trustees (including counsel fees). During the period ended March 31, 2017, fees reimbursed by Dreyfus amounted to $63,949.

Dreyfus has also contractually agreed, from April 1, 2016 through August 1, 2017 to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the expenses of the fund so that annual fund operating expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 fees and certain other expenses) do not exceed .10% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $1,442,620 during the period ended March 31, 2017.

Dreyfus has also undertaken to waive receipt of the management fee and/or reimburse operating expenses in order to facilitate a daily yield at or above a certain level which may change from time to time. This undertaking is voluntary and not contractual, and may be terminated at any time. The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $22,440 during the period ended March 31, 2017.

(b) Under the fund’s Service Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, with respect to the fund’s applicable Hamilton, Agency, Premier and Classic shares, the fund pays the Distributor for distributing such classes of shares, for servicing and/or maintaining shareholder accounts and for advertising and marketing.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Government Money Market Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of asset and liabilities, including the statement of investments, of Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Government Money Market Fund (one of the series comprising Dreyfus Institutional Reserves Funds) as of March 31, 2017, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and others. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Government Money Market Fund at March 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

THE DREYFUS FAMILY OF FUNDS

CODE OF ETHICS FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE

AND SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS

 

1.      Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code

This code of ethics (the "Code") for the investment companies within the complex (each, a "Fund") applies to each Fund's Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer or Controller, or other persons performing similar functions, each of whom is listed on Exhibit A (the "Covered Officers"), for the purpose of promoting:

·           honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

·           full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Fund files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and in other public communications made by the Fund;

·           compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

·           the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

·           accountability for adherence to the Code.

Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

2.      Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

Overview. A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Officer's private interest interferes with the interests of, or his service to, the Fund.  For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position with the Fund.

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Advisers Act"). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Fund because of their status as "affiliated persons" of the Fund. The compliance programs and procedures of the Fund and the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser") are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. The Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and the circumstances they cover fall outside of the parameters of the Code.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Fund and the Adviser of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees.  As a result, the Code recognizes that the Covered Officers, in the ordinary course of their duties (whether formally for the Fund or for the Adviser, or for both), will be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the Adviser and the Fund. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Fund and the Adviser and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Fund and, if addressed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Fund's Board that the Covered Officers also may be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes of ethics.

 


 

 

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act.  Covered Officers should keep in mind that the Code cannot enumerate every possible scenario.  The overarching principle of the Code is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Fund.

Each Covered Officer must:

·           not use his personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Fund whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund;

·           not cause the Fund to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the Fund; and

·           not retaliate against any employee or Covered Officer for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith.

3.      Disclosure and Compliance

·           Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Fund within his area of responsibility;

·           each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Fund to others, whether within or outside the Fund, including to the Fund's Board members and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations;

·           each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Fund and the Adviser with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Fund files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Fund; and

·           it is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

 


 

 

4.      Reporting and Accountability

Each Covered Officer must:

·           upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter, as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Board that he has received, read, and understands the Code;

·           annually thereafter affirm to the Board that he has complied with the requirements of the Code; and

·           notify the Adviser's General Counsel (the "General Counsel") promptly if he knows of any violation of the Code.  Failure to do so is itself a violation of the Code.

The General Counsel is responsible for applying the Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret the Code in any particular situation. However, waivers sought by any Covered Officer will be considered by the Fund's Board.

The Fund will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing the Code:

·           the General Counsel will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to him;

·           if, after such investigation, the General Counsel believes that no violation has occurred, the General Counsel is not required to take any further action;

·           any matter that the General Counsel believes is a violation will be reported to the Board;

·           if the Board concurs that a violation has occurred, it will consider appropriate action, which may include: review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the Adviser or its board; or dismissal of the Covered Officer;

·           the Board will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate; and

·           any waivers of or amendments to the Code, to the extent required, will be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

5.      Other Policies and Procedures

The Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Fund for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. The Fund's, its principal underwriter's and the Adviser's codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and the Adviser's additional policies and procedures, including its Code of Conduct, are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of the Code.

 


 

 

6.      Amendments 

The Code may not be amended except in written form, which is specifically approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Fund's Board, including a majority of independent Board members.

7.      Confidentiality 

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to the Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or the Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the appropriate Funds and their counsel, the appropriate Boards (or Committees) and their counsel and the Adviser

8.      Internal Use

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Fund and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of the Fund, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
