Example
The Example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the
fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that
you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also
assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund's
operating expenses remain the same. The Example does not reflect fees and
expenses incurred under VA contracts and VLI policies; if they were reflected,
the figures in the Example would be higher. Although your actual costs may be
higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may
indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 3.27%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategy
To pursue its goal, the fund generally is fully invested in stocks included in
the S&P 500® Index and in futures whose performance is tied to the index. The
fund generally invests in all 500 stocks in the S&P 500 Index in proportion to
their weighting in the index. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500
common stocks chosen to reflect the industries of the U.S. economy and is often
considered a proxy for the stock market in general. S&P weights each company's
stock in the index by its market capitalization, adjusted by the number of
available float shares divided by the company's total shares outstanding, which
means larger companies with more available float shares have greater
representation in the index than smaller ones. The fund attempts to have a
correlation between its performance and that of the S&P 500 Index of at least
.95 before fees and expenses. A correlation of 1.00 would mean that the fund and
the index were perfectly correlated.

Principal Risks
An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit. It is not insured or guaranteed
by the FDIC or any other government agency. It is not a complete investment
program. The fund's share price fluctuates, sometimes dramatically, which means
you could lose money.

o Risks of stock investing. Stocks generally fluctuate more in value than bonds
and may decline significantly over short time periods. There is the chance that
stock prices overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles,
with periods of rising prices and falling prices. The market value of a stock
may decline due to general weakness in the stock market or because of factors
that affect the company or its particular industry.

o Indexing strategy risk. The fund uses an indexing strategy. It does not
attempt to manage market volatility, use defensive strategies or reduce the
effects of any long-term periods of poor index performance. The correlation
between fund and index performance may be affected by the fund's expenses,
changes in securities markets, changes in the composition of the index and the
timing of purchases and redemptions of fund shares.

o Non-diversification risk. The fund is non-diversified, which means that the
fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number
of issuers. Therefore, the fund's performance may be more vulnerable to changes
in the market value of a single issuer or group of issuers and more susceptible
to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence
than a diversified fund.
Performance
The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of
investing in the fund. The table compares the average annual total returns
of the fund's shares to those of a broad measure of market performance.
The fund's past performance is no guarantee of future results. More
recent performance information may be available at www.dreyfus.com.

Performance information reflects the fund's expenses only and does not reflect
the fees and charges imposed by participating insurance companies under their VA
contracts or VLI policies. Because these fees and charges will reduce total
return, policyowners should consider them when evaluating and comparing the
fund's performance. Policyowners should consult the prospectus for their
contract or policy for more information.
The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the fund's Initial shares
from year to year.
