A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this semiannual report for The Dreyfus Fund Incorporated, covering the six-month period from January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016. For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as general market perspectives, we provide a Discussion of Fund Performance on the pages that follow.

Financial markets experienced heightened turbulence over the first half of 2016 when global economic challenges fueled dramatic swings in market sentiment. At the start of the year, investors reacted cautiously to an economic slowdown in China, sluggish growth in Europe, plummeting commodity prices, and rising short-term interest rates in the United States. These worries sparked sharp declines in U.S. and global equity markets, while high-quality bonds gained value as investors flocked to traditional safe havens.

Investor sentiment subsequently rebounded when U.S. monetary policymakers refrained from additional rate hikes, major central banks eased their monetary policies further, and commodity prices improved. Stocks rallied strongly during the spring, recouping earlier losses, and bonds continued to benefit from robust investor demand. Still, by June, uncertainty continued to dominate the capital markets amid worries about Great Britain’s exit from the European Union and disappointing job growth in the United States.

We remain encouraged by the resilience of the stock and bond markets, but we expect volatility to persist until global economic uncertainty abates. In addition, wide differences in underlying fundamental and technical influences across various asset classes, economic sectors, and regional markets suggest that selectivity may be an important determinant of investment success over the second half of 2016. As always, we encourage you to discuss the implications of our observations with your financial advisor.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Sincerely,

J. Charles Cardona
President
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period of January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2016, as provided by Elizabeth Slover, David Sealy, Leigh Todd, and Barry K. Mills, Primary Portfolio Managers

Market and Fund Performance Overview

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, The Dreyfus Fund Incorporated produced a total return of 1.67%.¹ In comparison, the Standard & Poor’s 500^® Composite Stock Price Index (the “S&P 500 Index”), the fund’s benchmark, provided a total return of 3.82% for the same period.²

U.S. equities achieved modest gains amid heightened market volatility stemming from a variety of global and domestic economic concerns. The fund lagged its benchmark, largely due to underweighted exposure to some of the higher-yielding industry groups that led the S&P 500 Index’s rise.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks long-term capital growth consistent with the preservation of capital. Current income is a secondary goal. To pursue these goals, the fund primarily invests in common stocks issued by U.S. companies. The fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in foreign securities. In choosing stocks, we focus on large-capitalization U.S. companies with strong positions in their industries and catalysts that can trigger a price increase. We use fundamental analysis to create a broadly diversified portfolio composed of a blend of growth stocks, value stocks, and stocks that exhibit characteristics of both investment styles. We select stocks based on how shares are priced relative to the underlying company’s perceived intrinsic worth, the sustainability or growth of earnings or cash flow, and the company’s financial health.

Economic Uncertainties Roiled Equity Markets

Equity markets declined sharply early in 2016 in the face of deteriorating oil prices, disappointing U.S. GDP growth, renewed instability among Chinese equities, and a recent increase in short-term U.S. interest rates. Investors sought safety in traditionally defensive and higher-yielding areas of the market, a trend that was reinforced when Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) Chair Janet Yellen warned that global market turbulence could undermine U.S. economic growth.

Stocks recovered from mid-February through late April, spurred by rising commodity prices, accommodative fiscal policies from central banks in Europe and Asia, and indications that the Fed would delay additional U.S. rate hikes. However, concerns that the United Kingdom might leave the European Union (EU) began to unsettle investors in May. The late June vote to leave the EU prompted a brief-but-sharp decline in equity prices, with the subsequent recovery concentrated among the more defensive and higher-yielding areas of the market, such as the telecommunication services and utilities sectors, while more economically sensitive stocks and most financial companies lagged market averages.

Flight to Safety Undermined Fund Performance

In light of their high valuations, the fund invested in few of the richly priced, high-yielding stocks favored by prevailing market sentiment. In the financials sector, the fund avoided high-flying real estate investment trusts (REITs), focusing instead on capital markets companies, such as Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, and consumer finance providers, such as Synchrony Financial. Likewise, underweighted exposure to telecommunication services and utilities stocks hampered returns compared to the benchmark. In the consumer staples sector, the fund avoided high-yielding tobacco stocks, a group that fared well despite dubious long-term industry prospects. Our most disappointing holding in the consumer staples sector, food manufacturer Mondelez International, paid a relatively modest dividend and was not viewed as a takeover candidate like some of the company’s competitors. In the energy sector, the fund emphasized high-quality companies, such as equipment-and-services provider

3

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

Schlumberger and exploration-and-production companies EOG Resources and Occidental Petroleum, rather than more volatile investments highly leveraged to the price of oil.

On a more positive note, the fund outperformed its benchmark in the health care sector, bolstered by relatively strong-performing holdings such as biotechnology developer AbbVie, pharmaceutical giants Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer, and medical equipment and supply companies Boston Scientific and Medtronic. In the consumer discretionary sector, the fund’s favorable relative performance was led by specialty retailer Ulta Salon Cosmetics & Fragrance and online retailer Amazon.com, both of which demonstrated strong sales and revenue growth. In the industrials sector, the fund avoided airlines, which struggled with rising oil prices, focusing instead on railroads, such as Union Pacific, which generated better returns. Another top performer, database software developer Oracle, gained value as the company migrated toward cloud-based services.

Emphasizing Stock Selection

As we look toward the second half of the year, we remain confident in the resiliency of the U.S. economy, which continues to grow, albeit at a more measured pace. Bright spots include solid employment, housing strength, and stabilizing oil prices, which has reduced the strength of the dollar. In addition, manufacturing may be poised for a pickup as the ISM Manufacturing Index has steadily risen from 48.2 in January to 53.2 in June (a measure above 50 signals expansion). Comments by Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen have made it clear that she is also focused on weaker international growth, which would imply the Fed is reluctant to raise rates again, weakening the likelihood of a rate increase this year. While corporate earnings remain challenged in terms of growth, most U.S. companies are on a solid financial footing. If oil remains stable and the dollar strength fades, that could reduce a meaningful headwind. We believe overall corporate growth challenges present an opportunity to identify and benefit from those companies that have unique or well-positioned businesses that can grow in the face of overall weaker global growth. In this scenario, stock dispersion is likely to grow wider, emphasizing the importance of stock selection in the face of growing global headwinds.

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 The Dreyfus Fund Incorporated from January 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment
assuming actual returns for the six months ended June 30, 2016
Expenses paid per $1,000†	$3.81
Ending value (after expenses)	$1,016.70

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.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment
assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended June 30, 2016
Expenses paid per $1,000†	$3.82
Ending value (after expenses)	$1,021.08

^†Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .76%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

The Dreyfus Fund Incorporated (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company. The fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth consistent with the preservation of capital. 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 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 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 fundenters 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: 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.

14

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.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:

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. For open short positions, asked prices are 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. All of the preceding securities are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

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. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 American Depositery Receipts and financial futures. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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

15

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

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 fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments 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. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.

For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of June 30, 2016in valuing the fund’s investments:

	Level 1 - Unadjusted Quoted Prices	Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs	Level 3 -Significant Unobservable Inputs	Total
Assets ($)
Investments in Securities:
Equity Securities—Domestic Common Stocks†	1,288,688,394	-	-	1,288,688,394
Equity Securities—Foreign Common Stocks†	23,962,525	-	-	23,962,525
Exchange-Traded Funds	27,028,785	-	-	27,028,785
Mutual Funds	44,292,137	-	-	44,292,137

^†See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.

At June 30, 2016, 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. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.

16

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s 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 Dreyfus, or U.S. Government and Agency securities. The fund is entitled to receive all dividends, interest and distributions on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner, The Bank of New York Mellon is required to replace the securities for the benefit of the fund or credit the fund with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the fund’s rights against the borrower and the collateral. Additionally, the contractual maturity of security lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. During the period ended June 30, 2016, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $4,614 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.

(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” under the Act. Investments in affiliated investment companies during the period ended June 30, 2016 were as follows:

Affiliated Investment Company	Value 12/31/2015 ($)	Purchases ($)	Sales ($)	Value 6/30/2016 ($)	Net Assets (%)
Dreyfus Institutional Cash Advantage Fund, Institutional Shares	-	72,351,477	72,351,477	-	-
Dreyfus Institutional Preferred Plus Money Market Fund	2,886,854	155,877,237	114,471,954	44,292,137	3.3
Total	2,886,854	228,228,714	186,823,431	44,292,137	3.3

(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net are normally declared and paid quarterly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make

17

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

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. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

(e) 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 June 30, 2016, 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 June 30, 2016, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

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

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was as follows: ordinary income $14,076,989 and long-term capital gains $136,690,498. The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $555 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. Prior to January 11, 2016, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $480 million. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing.

The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Facilities during the period ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $155,500 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.37%.

18

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with Dreyfus, the management fee is payable monthly, based on the following annual percentages of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets: .65% of the first $1.5 billion; .625% of the next $500 million; .60% of the next $500 million; and .55% over $2.5 billion. The effective management fee rate during the period ended June 30, 2016 was .65%.

The Agreement also provides for an expense reimbursement from Dreyfus should the fund’s aggregate expenses (excluding taxes and brokerage commissions) exceed 1% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets for any full fiscal year. During the period ended June 30, 2016, there was no reduction in expenses pursuant to the Agreement.

(b) The fund has arrangements with the transfer agent and the custodian whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset transfer agency and custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, under a transfer agency agreement for providing transfer agency and cash management services for the fund. The majority of transfer agency fees are comprised of amounts paid on a per account basis, while cash management fees are related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. During the period ended June 30, 2016, the fund was charged $188,033 for transfer agency services and $15,880 for cash management services. These fees are included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations. Cash management fees were partially offset by earnings credits of $7,414.

The fund compensates The Bank of New York Mellon under a custody agreement for providing custodial services for the fund. These fees are determined based on net assets, geographic region and transaction activity. During the period ended June 30, 2016, the fund was charged $40,881 pursuant to the custody agreement.

During the period ended June 30, 2016, the fund was charged $4,812 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer and his staff.

The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $741,112, custodian fees $27,990, Chief Compliance Officer fees $4,812 and transfer agency fees $57,517.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended June 30, 2016, amounted to $433,513,392 and $554,621,868, respectively.

At June 30, 2016, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $254,531,112, consisting of $269,571,015 gross unrealized appreciation and $15,039,903 gross unrealized depreciation.

At June 30, 2016, 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).
