A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this semiannual report for Dreyfus Stock Index Fund, Inc., covering the six-month period from January 1, 2012, through June 30, 2012. 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.

Economic optimism helped drive stock prices higher in early 2012 when investors responded positively to improving U.S. employment trends and measures by European policymakers to address the region’s sovereign debt crisis. However, political developments later raised doubts about some of Europe’s proposed solutions, and U.S. economic data weakened in the spring. Consequently, U.S. stocks gave back their previous gains, and most major market indices ended the first half of the year close to where they began.

Despite the recent downturn in market sentiment, we believe the U.S. and global economies are likely to remain on mildly upward trajectories. In our judgment, current sluggishness is at least partly due to the lagging effects of tighter monetary policies in some areas of the world, and we expect stronger growth when a shift to more accommodative policies begins to have an impact on global economic activity. In addition, the adjustment among U.S. exporters to weaker European demand and slower economic growth in certain emerging markets should be largely completed later this year, setting the stage for better business conditions in 2013.

As always, we encourage you to discuss our observations with your financial advisor.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period of January 1, 2012, through June 30, 2012, as provided by Thomas J. Durante, CFA, Karen Q. Wong, CFA, and Richard A. Brown, CFA, Portfolio Managers

Fund and Market Performance Overview

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, Dreyfus Stock Index Fund’s Initial shares produced a total return of 9.36%, and its Service shares produced a total return of 9.25%.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500 Index”), produced a total return of 9.48% for the same period.2,3

Mixed economic data fueled heightened market volatility as gains over the first quarter of 2012 were partly offset by declines during the second quarter of the year. The difference in returns between the fund and the S&P 500 Index was primarily the result of transaction costs and operating expenses that are not reflected in the S&P 500 Index’s results.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks to match the total return of the S&P 500 Index by generally investing in all 500 stocks in the S&P 500 Index in proportion to their respective weighting. Often considered a proxy for the stock market in general, the S&P 500 Index is made up of 500 common stocks chosen to reflect the industries of the U.S. economy. Each stock is weighted by its market capitalization; that is, larger companies have greater representation in the S&P 500 Index than smaller ones.The fund also may use stock index futures as a substitute for the sale or purchase of securities.

Macroeconomic Developments Fueled Market Volatility

The first quarter of 2012 began with a strong rally among U.S. stocks amid employment gains and other encouraging domestic economic news. In addition, a quantitative easing program in Europe appeared to forestall a more severe banking crisis in the region, and monetary policymakers in China seemed to have engineered a “soft landing” and lower inflation in a major engine of global growth. Consequently,

The Fund 3



DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

investors grew more tolerant of risks, and they focused more intently on companies in economically sensitive industry groups expected to benefit from better business conditions.

However, these positive influences were called into question in the second quarter, when the U.S. labor market’s rebound slowed as the public sector shed jobs and employment gains in the private sector proved more anemic than expected. At the same time, measures designed to relieve fiscal pressures in Europe encountered political resistance in several countries, including Greece, threatening proposed bailout programs.These headwinds caused most stock market averages, including the S&P 500 Index, to fall over the second quarter of the year, partly offsetting previous gains. Nonetheless, it is worth noting that U.S. stocks provided higher returns, on average, than their counterparts in most other nations over the first half of 2012.

Most Market Sectors Advanced over the First Half of 2012

In this environment, nine of the 10 economic sectors represented in the S&P 500 Index posted positive absolute returns for the reporting period. The consumer discretionary sector led the market’s advance, with robust gains posted by cable television operators and programmers, including Comcast and The Walt Disney Company. These companies benefited from higher revenues from their cable operations as well as strong results from their theme parks.

In the information technology sector, several companies benefited from strong demand for new products. Electronics innovator Apple continued to score success with its smartphone and tablet computer products, and online retailer Amazon.com saw strong results from its e-readers. In addition, companies in the enterprise storage, cloud computing and network security industries fared well as corporate demand intensified for productivity enhancing technologies. Lenders in the financials sector benefited from low interest rates, which boosted refinancing activity among mortgage holders over the reporting period. In addition, large, diversified financial institutions showed signs of recovery, as prior mergers-and-acquisitions activity and greater geographical diversification helped them withstand the protracted downturn in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.

4



The energy sector produced mildly negative returns over the first half of 2012, largely due to falling oil and natural gas prices as global demand faltered in a sluggish economic environment. In addition, geopolitical instability in the Middle East and Africa prompted companies to intensify exploration and production activity in North America, where the drilling costs are higher. Although the utilities sector eked out a positive total return, plunging natural gas prices undermined their financial results. Similarly, the materials sector produced positive results overall, masking weakness among steel, gold and coal mining companies as commodity prices fell.

Index Funds Offer Diversification Benefits

As an index fund, we attempt to replicate the returns of the S&P 500 Index by closely approximating its composition. In our view, one of the greatest benefits of an index fund is that it offers a broadly diversified investment vehicle that can help investors manage risks by limiting the impact on the overall portfolio of unexpected losses in any single industry group or holding.

July 16, 2012

Equity funds are subject generally to market, market sector, market liquidity, issuer and investment
style risks, among other factors, to varying degrees, all of which are more fully described in the
fund’s prospectus.
The fund is only available as a funding vehicle under variable life insurance policies or variable
annuity contracts issued by insurance companies. Individuals may not purchase shares of the fund
directly.A variable annuity is an insurance contract issued by an insurance company that enables
investors to accumulate assets on a tax-deferred basis for retirement or other long-term goals.

1 Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid. Past performance is no
guarantee of future results. Share price and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption
fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.The fund’s performance does not
reflect the deduction of additional charges and expenses imposed in connection with investing in
variable insurance contracts, which will reduce returns.
2 SOURCE: LIPPER INC. — Reflects reinvestment of dividends daily and, where applicable,
capital gain distributions.The Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index is a
widely accepted, unmanaged index of U.S. stock market performance. Investors cannot invest
directly in any index.

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), redemption fees and expenses associated with variable annuity or insurance contracts, 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 Stock Index Fund, Inc. from January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012. 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, 2012

    Initial Shares    Service Shares 
Expenses paid per $1,000  $ 1.46  $ 2.76 
Ending value (after expenses)  $ 1,093.60  $ 1,092.50 

 

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.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment
assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended June 30, 2012

    Initial Shares    Service Shares 
Expenses paid per $1,000  $ 1.41  $ 2.66 
Ending value (after expenses)  $ 1,023.47  $ 1,022.23 

 

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .28% for Initial Shares and .53% for Service Shares,
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:

Dreyfus Stock Index Fund, Inc. (the “fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a non-diversified open-end management investment company, that is intended to be a funding vehicle for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies to be offered by the separate accounts of life insurance companies.The fund’s investment objective is to match the total return of the Standard and Poor’s® 500 Composite Stock Price Index. 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. Mellon Capital Management Corporation (“Mellon Capital”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of BNY Mellon, serves as the fund’s index manager.

MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold without a sales charge.The fund is authorized to issue 400 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Initial shares (250 million shares authorized) and Service shares (150 million shares authorized). Initial shares are subject to a shareholder services fee and Service shares are subject to a distribution fee. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to the distribution plan, shareholder services plan, the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

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 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 fund 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: 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.

32



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. 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

The Fund 33



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

asset value. All of the preceding securities are categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

U.S. Treasury Bills are valued at the mean price between quoted bid prices and asked prices by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Directors. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Service’s procedures are reviewed by Dreyfus under the general supervision of the Board of Directors.

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 Depository 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 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 Directors. 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 as Level 2 or 3 depending on the relevant inputs used.

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

34



Financial futures, which are traded on an exchange, are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day.These securities are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of June 30, 2012 in valuing the fund’s investments:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

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, 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. During the period ended June 30, 2012,The Bank of NewYork Mellon earned $26,175 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.

(c) Affiliated issuers: Other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are considered to be “affiliated” with the fund.

(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net are declared and paid on a quarterly basis. 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. 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, 2012, 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, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011 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, 2011 was as follows: ordinary income $31,032,668 and long-term capital gains $11,621,531.The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

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. During the period ended June 30, 2012, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.

The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency and cash management services for the fund. During the period ended June 30, 2012, the fund was charged $563 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations.

(d) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities and financial futures, during the period ended June 30, 2012, amounted to $24,421,381 and $101,558,875, respectively.

Financial Futures: In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the fund is exposed to market risk, including equity price risk, as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments. The fund invests in financial futures in order to manage its exposure to or protect against changes in the market. A financial futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or a sale of an asset at a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, these investments require initial margin deposits with a counterparty, which consist of cash or cash equivalents.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.Accordingly, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses which are recorded in the Statement of Operations.When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss.There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the fund with financial futures since they are exchange traded, and the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees the financial futures against default. Financial futures open at June 30, 2012 are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.

The following summarizes the average market value of derivatives outstanding during the period ended June 30, 2012:

  Average Market Value ($) 
Equity financial futures contracts  35,483,693

At June 30, 2012, 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).

NOTE 5—Pending Legal Matters:

The fund and more than two hundred other entities have been named as defendants in two pending litigations (Deutsche Bank Trust Co., Americas et al. v.Adaly Opportunity Fund TD Secs. Inc. et al., No. 11-cv-04784, filed July 12, 2011 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of NewYork, and Niese et al. v.AllianceBernstein L.P. et al., No. 11-cv-04538, filed July 1, 2011 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York) against shareholders of the Tribune Company who received payment for their shares in June or December 2007, as part of a leveraged buyout of the company (the “LBO”). Approximately one year after the LBO was concluded, the Tribune Company filed for bankruptcy. Thereafter, in approximately June 2011, certain Tribune Company creditors filed dozens of complaints in various courts throughout the country, including complaints in the two actions referred to above, alleging that the payments made to shareholders in the LBO were “fraudulent conveyances,” and that the shareholders must return the payments they received for their shares to satisfy the plaintiffs’ unpaid claims. These cases have been consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (S.D.N.Y. No. 11-md-2296 (WHP)).

In addition, there was a case pending in United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware brought by the Unsecured Creditors

Committee of the Tribune Company that has since been transferred to a multi-district litigation in the United States District Court for the Southern District of NewYork (The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Tribune Co. v. Fitzsimons et al., formerly Bankr. D. Del. Adv. Pro. No. 10-54010 (KJC) and now S.D.N.Y. No. 12-cv-2652 (WHP)). The case was originally filed on November 1, 2010. In this case, the Creditors Committee seeks recovery for alleged “fraudulent conveyances” from more than 32,000 Tribune shareholders, including the fund, in a Third Amended Complaint filed in January 2012.

At this stage in the proceedings, it is not possible to assess with any reasonable certainty the probable outcomes of the pending litigations. Consequently, at this time, management is unable to estimate the possible loss that may result.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE RENEWAL OF THE
FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the fund’s Board of Directors held on March 6, 2012, the Board considered the renewal of the fund’s Management Agreement pursuant to which Dreyfus provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services (the “Agreement”), and the Index Management Agreement (together, the “Agreements”), pursuant to which Mellon Capital Management Corporation (the “Index Manager”) provides day to day management of the fund’s investments. The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund, were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of Dreyfus and the Index Manager. In considering the renewal of the Agreements, the Board considered all factors that it believed to be relevant, including those discussed below. The Board did not identify any one factor as dispositive, and each Board member may have attributed different weights to the factors considered.

Analysis of Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund.The Board considered information previously provided to them in presentations from Dreyfus representatives regarding the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and Dreyfus representatives confirmed that there had been no material changes in this information. Dreyfus provided the number of open accounts in the fund, the fund’s asset size and the allocation of fund assets among distribution channels. Dreyfus also had previously provided information regarding the diverse intermediary relationships and distribution channels of funds in the Dreyfus fund complex and Dreyfus’ corresponding need for broad, deep, and diverse resources to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each distribution channel, including the distribution channel(s) for the fund.

The Fund 43



INFORMATION ABOUT THE RENEWAL OF THE FUND’S
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

The Board also considered research support available to, and portfolio management capabilities of, the fund’s portfolio management personnel and that Dreyfus also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements.The Board also considered Dreyfus’ extensive administrative, accounting, and compliance infrastructures, as well as Dreyfus’ supervisory activities over the Index Manager. The Board also considered portfolio management’s brokerage policies and practices (including policies and practices regarding soft dollars) and the standards applied in seeking best execution.

Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Performance and Management Fee and Expense Ratio.The Board reviewed reports prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, which included information comparing (1) the fund’s performance with the performance of a group of comparable funds (the “Performance Group”) and with a broader group of funds (the “Performance Universe”), all for various periods ended December 31, 2011, and (2) the fund’s actual and contractual management fees and total expenses with those of a group of comparable funds (the “Expense Group”) and with a broader group of funds (the “Expense Universe”), the information for which was derived in part from fund financial statements available to Lipper as of the date of its analysis. Dreyfus previously had furnished the Board with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe and the Expense Group and Expense Universe.

Dreyfus representatives stated that the usefulness of performance comparisons may be affected by a number of factors, including different investment limitations that may be applicable to the fund and comparison funds.The Board discussed the results of the comparisons and noted that the fund’s total return performance was above the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians for the various periods and ranked in the first quartile of the Performance Universe in all periods and in the first quartile of the Performance Group for four of the six

44



periods shown. Dreyfus also provided a comparison of the fund’s calendar year total returns to the returns of the fund’s benchmark index.

The Board also reviewed the range of actual and contractual management fees and total expenses of the Expense Group and Expense Universe funds and discussed the results of the comparisons.The Board noted that the fund’s contractual management fee was below the Expense Group median and the fund’s actual management fee and total expenses were below the Expense Group and the Expense Universe medians.

Dreyfus representatives reviewed with the Board the management or investment advisory fees (1) paid by funds advised or administered by Dreyfus that are in the same Lipper category as the fund and (2) paid to Dreyfus or the Index Manager or its affiliates for advising any separate accounts and/or other types of client portfolios that are considered to have similar investment strategies and policies as the fund (the “Similar Clients”), and explained the nature of the Similar Clients. They discussed differences in fees paid and the relationship of the fees paid in light of any differences in the services provided and other relevant factors.The Board considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Clients to evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of the fund’s management fee.

The Board considered the fee to the Index Manager in relation to the fee paid to Dreyfus by the fund and the respective services provided by the Index Manager and Dreyfus.The Board also noted the Index Manager’s fee is paid by Dreyfus (out of its fee from the fund) and not the fund.

Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. Dreyfus representatives reviewed the expenses allocated and profit received by Dreyfus and the resulting profitability percentage for managing the fund, and the method used to determine the expenses and profit. The Board concluded that the profitability results were not unreasonable, given the services rendered and service levels provided by Dreyfus. The

The Fund 45



INFORMATION ABOUT THE RENEWAL OF THE FUND’S
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)

Board previously had been provided with information prepared by an independent consulting firm regarding Dreyfus’ approach to allocating costs to, and determining the profitability of, individual funds and the entire Dreyfus fund complex. The consulting firm also had analyzed where any economies of scale might emerge in connection with the management of a fund.

The Board’s counsel stated that the Board should consider the profitability analysis (1) as part of their evaluation of whether the fees under the Agreements bear a reasonable relationship to the mix of services provided by Dreyfus and the Index Manager, including the nature, extent and quality of such services, and (2) in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders. Since Dreyfus, and not the fund, pays the Index Manager pursuant to the Index Management Agreement, the Board did not consider the Index Manager’s profitability to be relevant to its deliberations. Dreyfus representatives noted that a discussion of economies of scale is predicated on a fund having achieved a substantial size with increasing assets and that, if a fund’s assets had been stable or decreasing, the possibility that Dreyfus may have realized any economies of scale would be less. Dreyfus representatives also noted that, as a result of shared and allocated costs among funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, the extent of economies of scale could depend substantially on the level of assets in the complex as a whole, so that increases and decreases in complex-wide assets can affect potential economies of scale in a manner that is disproportionate to, or even in the opposite direction from, changes in the fund’s asset level. The Board also considered potential benefits to Dreyfus and the Index Manager from acting as investment adviser and index manager, respectively, and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect for trading the fund’s investments.

46



At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to the renewal of the Agreements. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board concluded and determined as follows.

  • The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Dreyfus and the Index Manager are adequate and appropriate.

  • The Board was satisfied with the fund’s performance.

  • The Board concluded that the fees paid to Dreyfus and the Index Manager were reasonable in light of the considerations described above.

  • The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to Dreyfus and its affiliates in connection with the management of the fund had been adequately considered by Dreyfus in connection with the fee rate charged to the fund pursuant to the Agreement and that, to the extent in the future it were determined that material economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund.

The Board considered these conclusions and determinations, along with information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year. In addition, it should be noted that the Board’s consideration of the contractual fee arrangements for this fund had the benefit of a number of years of reviews of prior or similar agreements during which lengthy discussions took place between the Board and Dreyfus representatives. Certain aspects of the arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than in others, and the Board’s conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of the same or similar arrangements in prior years.The Board determined that renewal of the Agreements was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.
