Supplement to Current Prospectus

In 2008, each of the above-referenced Dreyfus money market funds (each, a “Fund”) entered into a Guarantee Agreement with the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”), which permits the Fund to participate in the Treasury’s Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”).

(Continued on Reverse Side)


Under the Program, the Treasury guarantees the share price of shares of the Fund held by shareholders as of September 19, 2008 at $1.00 per share if the Fund’s net asset value per share falls below $0.995 (a “Guarantee Event”) and the Fund liquidates. Recovery under the Program is subject to certain conditions and limitations, including the following:

  • For shareholders of a Fund, the Program provides a guarantee for the lesser of (a) the number of Fund shares owned by the shareholder at the close of business on September 19, 2008, or (b) the number of Fund shares owned by the shareholder on the date of a Guarantee Event.
  • The total amount of coverage available for all participants in the Program is limited to the amount of funds available under the Federal Exchange Stabilization Fund at the time of a Guarantee Event (currently approximately $50 billion).
  • In order to recover, a Guarantee Event must occur during the term of the Program.

Fund shares acquired by investors after September 19, 2008 that increase the number of Fund shares the investor held at the close of business on September 19, 2008 are not eligible for protection under the Program. In addition, Fund shares acquired by investors who did not hold Fund shares at the close of business on September 19, 2008 are not eligible for protection under the Program.

The Program, which was originally set to expire on December 18, 2008, had been extended by the Treasury through April 30, 2009, and again extended through September 18, 2009, and each Fund has taken the necessary steps to extend its participation through September 18, 2009. Participation in the Program during the initial term and the extended period from December 19, 2008 through April 30, 2009 required each Fund to pay the Treasury fees in the amount of .01% and .015%, respectively, of the Fund’s net asset value as of September 19, 2008. Participation in the Program during the extended period from May 1, 2009 through September 18, 2009 required payment to the Treasury in the amount of .015% to .023% of the Fund’s net asset value as of September 19, 2008. These fees were borne by the Funds without regard to any expense limitation currently in effect for any Fund.
