A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus International Stock Index Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2012, through October 31, 2013. 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.

Improving global economic conditions drove developed stock markets higher over much of the reporting period. Europe appeared to put the worst of its sovereign debt and banking crises behind it, and Japan embarked on a new economic course designed to reflate its long-stagnant domestic economy. However, the world’s emerging markets struggled with the effects of local economic slowdowns. As a result, equity market returns varied widely from one country to another over the past 12 months.

We currently expect global economic conditions to continue to improve in 2014, with stronger growth in many developed countries fueled by past and continuing monetary ease. The emerging markets seem poised for moderate economic expansion despite recently negative investor sentiment. In the United States, we anticipate accelerating growth supported by the fading drags of tighter federal fiscal policies and downsizing on the state and local levels. For more information on how these observations may affect your investments, we encourage you to speak with your financial advisor.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.


J. Charles Cardona
President
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the reporting period of November 1, 2012, through October 31, 2013, as provided byThomas J. Durante, CFA, Richard A. Brown, CFA, and Karen Q.Wong, CFA, Portfolio Managers

Fund and Market Performance Overview

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2013, Dreyfus International Stock Index Fund produced a total return of 26.01%.1 This compares with a 26.88% total return for the fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (the “MSCI EAFE® Index” or the “Index”), during the same period.2

International stocks responded positively to a recovering global economy during the reporting period.The difference in returns between the fund and the MSCI EAFE® Index was primarily the result of transaction costs and operating expenses that are not reflected in the MSCI EAFE® Index’s results.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks to match the performance of the MSCI EAFE® Index, a broadly diversified, international index composed of approximately 1,000 companies located in developed markets outside the United States and Canada. To pursue its goal, the fund is generally fully invested in stocks included in the MSCI EAFE® Index. The fund’s investments are selected to match the benchmark composition along individual name, country, and industry weighting, and other benchmark characteristics. Under these circumstances, the fund maintains approximately the same weighting for each stock as the MSCI EAFE® Index does.

The fund employed futures contracts and currency forward contracts during the reporting period in its efforts to replicate the returns of the MSCI EAFE® Index.

Recovering Global Economy Fueled Stock Markets’ Gains

Stock markets throughout the developed world rallied in response to the aggressively accommodative monetary policies adopted by most major central banks.The United States led the global recovery, as domestic economic growth has been supported by employment gains, rebounding housing markets, and a massive quantitative easing program.The worst of Europe’s financial crisis seems to be over, as evidenced by the

end of a regional recession, greater confidence in the banking system, and rebounding stock prices, particularly in previously hard hit nations. Japan’s stock market was lifted by newly stimulative fiscal and monetary policies from a new government seeking to reflate the domestic economy after years of stagnation.

Although stocks from the emerging markets are not part of the MSCI EAFE® Index, it is worth noting that many developing nations struggled with economic slowdowns during the reporting period. In this environment, some emerging stock markets, such as China, fared relatively well, while others, most notably India and Brazil, underperformed global market averages.

Financials Sector Led the International Markets’ Advance

All of the economic sectors represented in the MSCI EAFE® posted positive absolute returns during the reporting period. The markets’ gains were led by the financials sector, which rebounded from previously depressed levels as investor confidence improved. Commercial banks fared especially well in Japan, where an aggressively accommodative monetary policy boosted liquidity in the banking system. Banks in the United Kingdom also gained value in the midst of a recovering housing market. Despite slowing growth in the emerging markets, Australian banks continued to benefit from financing opportunities in nearby developing nations. Gains among investment banks were driven by rallying equity markets, intensifying mergers-and-acquisitions activity, and rising bond issuance volumes. Wealth management firms prospered as stock prices climbed.

The consumer discretionary sector was supported by Japanese automobile manufacturers, which benefited from a depreciating local currency that fueled exports to the United States and China. Sales of Japanese vehicles in China also were buoyed by improved relations between the two countries as concerns surrounding a territorial dispute waned. German automakers also fared well in the recovering global economy, due primarily to robust demand from affluent consumers for luxury brands. Other strong performers in the consumer discretionary sector included consumer electronics producers and media companies. In the health care sector, large pharmaceutical developers benefited from waning concerns regarding research-and-development efforts, as well as diversification by some major drug companies into the health-and-beauty category.

The energy sector ranked among the weaker segments of the MSCI EAFE® Index as a glut of shale oil drove commodity prices lower, hurting profit margins for refiners. Although the utilities sector posted double-digit returns for the reporting period, it lagged sector averages when investors turned their attention away from income-oriented stocks and toward industry groups with greater growth potential.

From a county perspective, Japan and the United Kingdom ranked as the reporting period’s top performers, while Israel was the only country in the MSCI EAFE® Index to post a negative absolute return.

Replicating the Performance of the MSCI EAFE Index

Although we do not actively manage the fund’s investments in response to macroeconomic trends, it is worth noting that recent evidence of sustained global growth has the potential to fuel further gains in international equity markets. As always, we have continued to monitor the factors considered by the fund’s investment model in light of current market conditions.

November 15, 2013

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’s performance will be influenced by political, social and economic factors affecting investments in foreign companies. Special risks associated with investments in foreign companies include exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards.

1 Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid. Past performance is no guarantee of future 
results. Share price, yield and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more 
or less than their original cost.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus International Stock Index Fund (the “fund”) is a separate non-diversified series of Dreyfus Index Funds, Inc. (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 match the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East (free) Index (MSCI EAFE ®).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 the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.

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 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: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a lia-

42



bility 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.

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

The Fund 43



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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 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 Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).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.

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. 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

44



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 categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange.

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 and are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) are valued at the forward rate and are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2013 in valuing the fund’s investments:

(b) Foreign currency transactions: The fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized on securities transactions between trade and settlement date, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments resulting from changes in exchange rates. Foreign currency gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are also included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

(c) 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.

(d) 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 October 31, 2013 were as follows:

Affiliated

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(e) Risk: Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S.These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls and delayed settlements, and their prices may be more volatile than those of comparable securities in the U.S.

(f) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and 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.

(g) 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 October 31, 2013, 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 October 31, 2013, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2013 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

48



At October 31, 2013, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $10,314,242, undistributed capital gains $5,878,013 and unrealized appreciation $52,365,904.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012 were as follows: ordinary income $12,705,604 and $14,103,072.

During the period ended October 31, 2013, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for passive foreign investment companies and foreign currency gains and losses, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $399,195 and increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by the same amount. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.

(h) Accounting Pronouncement: In January 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01 (“ASU 2013-01”), “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, which replaced Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 (“ASU 2011-11”), “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities.ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to enforceable master netting arrangements (“MNA”) or similar agreements. Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2013-01 and its impact on the fund’s financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $265 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. Prior to October 9, 2013, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $210 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 October 31, 2013 was approximately $792,100 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.13%.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .35% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Manager has agreed to pay all of the fund’s direct expenses, except management fees, Shareholder Services Plan fees, brokerage fees and commissions, taxes, interest expense, commitment fees on borrowings, fees and expenses of non-interested Board members, fees and expenses of independent counsel to the fund and extraordinary expenses. The Manager has also agreed to reduce its management fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of the accrued fees and expenses of the non-interested Board members and fees and expenses of independent counsel to the fund and to non-interested Board members. During the period ended October 31, 2013, fees reimbursed by the Manager amounted to $45,638.

50



(b) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, the fund pays the Distributor for the provision of certain services, at an annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts.The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (securities dealers, financial institutions or other industry professionals) with respect to these services. The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended October 31, 2013, the fund was charged $1,277,255 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $168,465 and Shareholder Services Plan fees $120,332, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $2,522.

(c) 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, forward contracts and financial futures, during the period ended October 31, 2013, amounted to $129,521,304 and $115,676,755, respectively.

Derivatives: A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. Each type of derivative instrument that was held by the fund during the period ended October 31, 2013 is discussed below.

The Fund 51



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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 which is reflected in the Statement of Operations.There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the fund with financial futures since they are exchange traded, and the exchange guarantees the financial futures against default. Financial futures open at October 31, 2013 are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The fund enters into forward contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings, to settle foreign currency transactions or as a part of its investment strategy.When executing forward contracts, the fund is obligated to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specified rate on a certain date in the future.With respect to sales of forward contracts, the fund incurs a loss if the value of the contract increases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed. The fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract decreases between those dates.With respect to purchases of forward contracts, the fund incurs a loss if the value of the contract decreases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed.The fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract increases between those dates.Any realized or unrealized gains or losses which occurred during the period are reflected in the

52



Statement of Operations.The fund is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments.The fund is also exposed to credit risk associated with counterparty nonper-formance on these forward contracts, which is generally limited to the unrealized gain on each open contract.The following summarizes open forward contracts at October 31, 2013:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Shareholders and Board of Directors
Dreyfus International Stock Index Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statements of investments and financial futures, of Dreyfus International Stock Index Fund (one of the series comprising Dreyfus Index Funds, Inc.) as of October 31, 2013, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended.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 October 31, 2013 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 International Stock Index Fund at October 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus S&P 500 Index Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2012, through October 31, 2013. 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.

Although expectations of higher long-term interest rates and a more moderately stimulative monetary policy sparked volatility in the U.S stock market at times during the reporting period, improved U.S. economic conditions drove stock prices substantially higher for the reporting period overall. Even the 16-day U.S. government shutdown in October failed to derail the market’s advance, enabling some broad measures of stock market performance to reach new record highs by the end of the month. Stocks across most capitalization ranges and investment styles produced strong results.

We currently expect U.S. economic conditions to continue to improve in 2014, with accelerating growth supported by the fading drags of tighter federal fiscal policies and downsizing on the state and local levels. Moreover, inflation is likely to remain muted, so monetary policy can remain stimulative. Globally, we anticipate stronger growth in many developed countries due to past and continuing monetary ease, while emerging markets seem poised for moderate economic expansion despite recently negative investor sentiment. For more information on how these observations may affect your investments, we encourage you to speak with your financial advisor.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period of November 1, 2012, through October 31, 2013, 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 12-month period ended October 31, 2013, Dreyfus S&P 500 Index Fund produced a total return of 26.56%.1 In comparison, the Standard & Poor’s® 500 Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500 Index”), the fund’s benchmark, returned 27.16% for the same period.2,3

U.S. stocks responded positively during the reporting period to recovering global and domestic economies.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 weightings. Often considered a barometer for the stock market in general, the S&P 500 Index is made up of 500 widely held common stocks across 10 economic sectors. Each stock is weighted by its float-adjusted market capitalization; that is, larger companies have greater representation in the S&P 500 Index than smaller ones.

The fund employed futures contracts during the reporting period in its efforts to replicate the returns of the S&P 500 Index.

Recovering U.S. and Global Economies Fueled Market Gains

The reporting period began soon after the start of a sustained stock market rally driven by improved U.S. employment and housing markets. Investors were particularly encouraged by a new round of quantitative easing from the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) involving massive monthly purchases of U.S. government securities. Improving conditions in overseas markets also contributed to greater optimism as investors responded positively to the potential for improved earnings among U.S.-based multinationals and more robust export activity to overseas markets.

The Fund 3



DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

Economic data continued to improve, and stocks generally continued to rally, through the spring of 2013. However, in late May, relatively hawkish remarks by Fed chairman Ben Bernanke were widely interpreted as a signal that U.S. monetary policymakers would back away from their quantitative easing program sooner than many analysts had expected, sparking volatility that erased some of the market’s previous gains.The S&P 500 Index generally stabilized over the summer, and stocks advanced strongly in September when the Fed refrained from tapering its bond purchasing program. Even a 16-day federal government shutdown in October failed to derail the rally, enabling the S&P 500 Index to reach record highs by the reporting period’s end.

The Financials Sector Led the Market’s Advance

All of the economic sectors represented in the S&P 500 Index produced double-digit gains over the reporting period, reflecting broad-based support for U.S. equities. The financials sector led the market rally as large, diversified financial institutions rebounded from previously depressed levels in the wake of the 2007–2009 U.S. financial crisis. Big banks particularly benefited from widening net interest margins and greater mortgage refinancing activity as the U.S. economic recovery gained traction and long-term interest rates moved higher. In the insurance industry, financial results were bolstered by higher premiums at a time when relatively few domestic natural disasters kept claims low. Capital markets-oriented companies advanced along with the financial markets. However, large cap real estate investment trusts lagged sector averages by a wide margin when investors turned away from income-oriented stocks and toward their more growth-oriented counterparts.

In the consumer discretionary sector, media companies advanced strongly amid more robust spending by consumers on activities such as movies and visits to theme parks. Specialty retailers also gained value, including home improvement chains benefiting from recovering housing markets. Internet retailers exhibited strong earnings growth over the reporting period, with some Internet-related stocks doubling and tripling in value. Finally, in the industrials sector, aerospace and defense companies posted strong gains despite the potentially negative implications of reduced government spending stemming from protracted budget disagreements in Congress.

The fund received less favorable contributions from the materials sector, where metals-and-mining companies struggled with lower commodity prices due to waning demand for construction materials in the emerging markets. In addition, coal producers in the energy sector were hurt by intensifying competition from lower cost natural gas.

Replicating the Performance of the S&P 500 Index

Although we do not actively manage the fund’s investments in response to macroeconomic trends, it is worth noting that recent evidence of sustained domestic and global growth has the potential to fuel further gains in U.S. equity markets.As always, we have continued to monitor the factors considered by the fund’s investment model in light of current market conditions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus S&P 500 Index Fund (the “fund”) is a separate non-diversified series of Dreyfus Index Funds, Inc. (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 match the performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of NewYork Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.

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 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: 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

30



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.

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

The Fund 31



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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 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 Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).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.

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. 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

32



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 categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 and are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2013 in valuing the fund’s investments:

At October 31, 2013, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses

The Fund 33



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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.

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 the Manager 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. During the period ended October 31, 2013, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $39,959 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 October 31, 2013 were as follows:

(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and 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 October 31, 2013, 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 October 31, 2013, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2013 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

The Fund 35



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

At October 31, 2013, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $36,540,330, undistributed capital gains $54,403,086 and unrealized appreciation $1,460,806,816.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012 were as follows: ordinary income $44,234,704 and $38,184,950, and long-term capital gains $29,828,852 and $10,730,688, respectively.

During the period ended October 31, 2013, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for real estate investment trusts, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $339,613 and increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by the same amount. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.

(f) Accounting Pronouncement: In January 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01 (“ASU 2013-01”), “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, which replaced Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 (“ASU 2011-11”), “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities.ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to enforceable master netting arrangements (“MNA”) or similar agreements. Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2013-01 and its impact on the fund’s financial statements.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $265 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York

36



Mellon (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. Prior to October 9, 2013, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $210 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 October 31, 2013 was approximately $48,200 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.12%.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Manager has agreed to pay all of the fund’s direct expenses, except management fees, Shareholder Services Plan fees, brokerage fees and commissions, taxes, interest expense, commitment fees on borrowings, fees and expenses of non-interested Board members, fees and expenses of independent counsel to the fund and extraordinary expenses. The Manager has also agreed to reduce its management fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of the accrued fees and expenses of the non-interested Board members and fees and expenses of independent counsel to the fund and to non-interested Board members. During the period ended October 31, 2013, fees reimbursed by the Manager amounted to $233,960.

(b) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, the fund pays the Distributor for the provision of certain services, at an annual rate of .25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets.The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

accounts.The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (securities dealers, financial institutions or other industry professionals) with respect to these services.The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended October 31, 2013, the fund was charged $6,346,420 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $574,179 and Shareholder Services Plan fees $574,179, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $20,365.

(c) 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 October 31, 2013, amounted to $72,785,197 and $191,088,741, respectively.

Derivatives: A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. Each type of derivative instrument that was held by the fund during the period ended October 31, 2013 is discussed below.

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

38



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 which is reflected in the Statement of Operations.There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the fund with financial futures since they are exchange traded, and the exchange guarantees the financial futures against default. Financial futures open at October 31, 2013 are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.

The following summarizes the average market value of derivatives outstanding during the period ended October 31, 2013:

  Average Market Value ($) 
Equity financial futures  31,652,978 

 

At October 31, 2013, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $1,304,744,260; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $1,460,806,816, consisting of $1,567,931,409 gross unrealized appreciation and $107,124,593 gross unrealized depreciation.

NOTE 5—Pending Legal Matters:

The fund and many other entities have been named as defendants in numerous pending litigations as a result of their participation in the leveraged buyout transaction (“LBO”) of the Tribune Company (“Tribune”).The cases allege that Tribune took on billions of dollars of debt in the LBO to purchase its own stock from shareholders at $34 per share.The LBO was closed in a two-step transaction with shares being repurchased by Tribune in a tender offer in June 2007 (“Step One”) and in a go-private merger in December 2007 (“Step Two”). In 2008, approximately one year after the LBO was concluded,Tribune filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11. Thereafter, in approximately June 2011, certain Tribune creditors filed dozens of complaints in various courts throughout the country alleging that the payments made to shareholders in the LBO were “fraudulent conveyances” under state

The Fund 39



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

and/or federal law, 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 coordinated pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York titled In re Tribune Company Fraudulent Conveyance Litigation (S.D.N.Y. Nos. 11-md-2296 and 12-mc-2296 (RJS) (“Tribune MDL”)). On March 27, 2013, the Tribune MDL was reassigned from Judge William H. Pauley to Judge Richard J. Sullivan. No explanation was given for the reassignment.

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 theTribune MDL (formerly The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Tribune Co. v. FitzSimons, et al., Bankr. D. Del.Adv. Pro. No. 10-54010 (KJC)).The case was originally filed on November 1, 2010. In a Fourth Amended Complaint filed in November 2012, among other claims, the Creditors Committee sought recovery under the Bankruptcy Code for alleged “fraudulent conveyances” from more than 5,000 Tribune shareholders (“Shareholder Defendants”), including the fund, and a defendants’ class of all shareholders who tendered their Tribune stock in the LBO and received cash in exchange.There were 35 other counts in the Fourth Amended Complaint that did not relate to claims against Shareholder Defendants, but instead were brought against parties directly involved in approval or execution of the leveraged buyout. On January 10, 2013, pursuant to the Tribune bankruptcy plan, Mark S. Kirchner, as Litigation Trustee for the Tribune Litigation Trust, became the successor plaintiff to the Creditors Committee in this case.The case is now proceeding as: Mark S. Kirchner, as Litigation Trustee for the Tribune Litigation Trust v. FitzSimons, et al., S.D.N.Y. No. 12-cv-2652 (RJS). On August 1, 2013, the plaintiff filed a Fifth Amended Complaint with the Court. The Fifth Amended Complaint contains more detailed allegations regarding the steps Tribune took in consideration and execution of the LBO, but does not change the legal basis for the claim previously alleged against the Shareholder Defendants.

40



On November 6, 2012, a motion to dismiss was filed in the Tribune MDL. Oral argument on the motion to dismiss was held on May 23, 2013. On September 23, 2013 Judge Sullivan granted the motion to dismiss on standing grounds, after rejecting defendants’ preemption arguments. By granting the motion, Judge Sullivan dismissed nearly 50 cases in theTribune MDL, including all cases with Deutsche BankTrust Company Americas or William A. Niese as the lead plaintiff.The fund was a defendant in at least one of the dismissed cases.The motion had no effect on the FitzSimons case, which had been stayed.

On September 30, 2013, plaintiffs appealed the motion to dismiss decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On October 28, 2013, certain defendants cross-appealed from Judge Sullivan’s decision, seeking review of the arguments that Judge Sullivan rejected in his decision. Briefing on the appeal and cross appeal is scheduled for completion in April 2014.

On November 11, 2013, Judge Sullivan entered Master Case Order No. 4 in the Tribune MDL. Master Case Order No. 4 addressed numerous procedural and administrative tasks for the cases that remain in the Tribune MDL, including the FitzSimons case. Under Master Case Order No. 4, the parties – through their executive committees and liaison counsel – are to attempt to negotiate a protocol for motions to dismiss and other procedural issues in December 2013 and January 2014. No answers to the Fifth Amended Complaint in the FitzSimons case may be filed at this time, and no briefing schedule for any further motions has been set.

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.

A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Smallcap Stock Index Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2012, through October 31, 2013. 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.

Although expectations of higher long-term interest rates and a more moderately stimulative monetary policy sparked volatility in the U.S stock market at times during the reporting period, improved U.S. economic conditions drove stock prices substantially higher for the reporting period overall. Even the 16-day U.S. government shutdown in October failed to derail the market’s advance, enabling some broad measures of stock market performance to reach new record highs by the end of the month. Stocks across most capitalization ranges and investment styles produced strong results.

We currently expect U.S. economic conditions to continue to improve in 2014, with accelerating growth supported by the fading drags of tighter federal fiscal policies and downsizing on the state and local levels. Moreover, inflation is likely to remain muted, so monetary policy can remain stimulative. Globally, we anticipate stronger growth in many developed countries due to past and continuing monetary ease, while emerging markets seem poised for moderate economic expansion despite recently negative investor sentiment. For more information on how these observations may affect your investments, we encourage you to speak with your financial advisor.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the reporting period of November 1, 2012, through October 31, 2013, as provided by Thomas J. Durante, Richard A. Brown, and Karen Q.Wong, Portfolio Managers

Fund and Market Performance Overview

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2013, Dreyfus Smallcap Stock Index Fund produced a total return of 38.63%.1 In comparison, the Standard & Poor’s SmallCap 600® Index (“S&P 600 Index”), the fund’s benchmark, produced a 39.08% total return for the same period.2,3

Small-cap stocks responded positively to recovering global and domestic economies during the reporting period. The difference in returns between the fund and the S&P 600 Index was primarily the result of transaction costs and operating expenses that are not reflected in the S&P 600 Index’s results.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks to match the total return of the S&P 600 Index by generally investing in a representative sample of the stocks listed in the S&P 600 Index.The S&P 600 Index is composed of 600 domestic stocks across 10 economic sectors. Each stock is weighted by its market capitalization; that is, larger companies have greater representation in the S&P 600 Index than smaller ones.The fund may also use stock index futures as a substitute for the sale or purchase of stocks.

The fund employed futures contracts during the reporting period in its efforts to replicate the returns of the S&P 600 Index.

Recovering U.S. and Global Economies Fueled Market Gains

The reporting period began soon after the start of a sustained stock market rally driven by improved U.S. employment and housing markets. Investors were particularly encouraged by a new round of quantitative easing from the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) involving massive monthly purchases of U.S. government securities. Improving conditions in overseas markets also contributed to greater optimism as investors responded positively to the potential for more robust export activity to overseas markets.

The Fund 3



DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

Economic data continued to improve, and stocks generally continued to rally, through the spring of 2013. However, in late May, remarks by Fed chairman Ben Bernanke were widely interpreted as a signal that U.S. monetary policymakers would begin to back away from their quantitative easing program sooner than expected, sparking volatility that erased some of the market’s previous gains. The S&P 600 Index generally stabilized over the summer, and stocks advanced strongly in September when the Fed refrained from tapering its bond purchasing program. Even a 16-day federal government shutdown in October failed to derail the rally, enabling the S&P 600 Index to reach record highs by the reporting period’s end.

In this constructive environment, small-cap stocks produced higher returns, on average, than their large- and midcap counterparts.

Information Technology Sector Led the Market’s Advance

All of the economic sectors represented in the S&P 600 Index produced double-digit gains for the reporting period, reflecting broad-based support for small-cap stocks.The information technology sector led the market rally as producers of electrical equipment, manufacturers of electrical components, and software developers benefited from intensifying demand for productivity and efficiency enhancements among business enterprises. Results were especially strong among software companies providing cloud computing and data management services, as well as automation technology providers serving a growing U.S. manufacturing base. Rising mergers-and-acquisitions activity also buoyed the small-cap information technology sector during the reporting period.

In the financials sector, commercial banks with a regional focus benefited from strengthening housing markets, higher lending volumes, and declining loan losses. Banks in areas experiencing a boom in shale oil and natural gas production fared especially well. Real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) in the small-cap space gained value as more companies converted to REITs for tax purposes. Gains were especially robust among REITs specializing in correctional facilities and office space. In the consumer discretionary sector, hotels, restaurants, and leisure companies advanced particularly strongly. For example, casual dining restaurant chains encountered more

robust customer spending at a time when the cost of opening new locations fell significantly. Meanwhile, textile companies and apparel producers benefited from greater mergers-and-acquisitions activity, and some have cut costs and boosted profit margins by outsourcing their manufacturing operations.

The fund received less favorable contributions from the telecommunications services and utilities sectors due to cash flow issues. In other areas, REITs specializing in residential apartments and mortgages lagged amid waning demand for rentals, and coal producers were hurt by competition from lower cost natural gas.

Replicating the Performance of the S&P 600 Index

Although we do not actively manage the fund’s investments in response to macroeconomic trends, it is worth noting that recent evidence of sustained domestic and global growth has the potential to fuel further gains in U.S. equity markets, including small-cap stocks. As always, we have continued to monitor the factors considered by the fund’s investment model in light of current market conditions.

November 15, 2013

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. Stocks of small-cap companies often experience sharper price fluctuations than stocks of larger-cap companies.

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 Smallcap Stock Index Fund from May 1, 2013 to October 31, 2013. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Smallcap Stock Index Fund (the “fund”) is a separate non-diversified series of Dreyfus Index Funds, Inc. (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 match the performance of the Standard & Poor’s® SmallCap 600 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. MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.

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 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.

The Fund 33



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(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.

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:

34



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 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 Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).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.

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

The Fund 35



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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. 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 categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 and are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2013 in valuing the fund’s investments:

††  Amount shown represents unrealized (depreciation) at period end. 

 

At October 31, 2013, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 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.

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 the Manager 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. During the period ended October 31, 2013, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $424,354 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 October 31, 2013 were as follows:

(d) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and 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.

38



As of and during the period ended October 31, 2013, 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 October 31, 2013, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2013 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At October 31, 2013, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $15,512,702, undistributed capital gains $52,680,978 and unrealized appreciation $536,467,719.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012 were as follows: ordinary income $17,724,942 and $11,863,852, and long-term capital gains $30,273,334 and $29,919,375, respectively.

During the period ended October 31, 2013, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for dividend reclassification, the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $15,647 and decreased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by the same amount. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.

ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities.ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements,

The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended October 31, 2013, the fund was charged $3,387,886 pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $337,157 and Shareholder Services Plan fees $337,157, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $9,865.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Derivatives: A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. Each type of derivative instrument that was held by the fund during the period ended October 31, 2013 is discussed below.

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 which is reflected in the Statement of Operations.There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the fund with financial futures since they are exchange traded, and the exchange guarantees the financial futures against default. Financial futures open at October 31, 2013 are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.

The following summarizes the average market value of derivatives outstanding during the period ended October 31, 2013:

  Average Market Value ($) 
Equity financial futures  19,059,805 

 

At October 31, 2013, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $1,167,572,967; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $536,467,719, consisting of $584,711,617 gross unrealized appreciation and $48,243,898 gross unrealized depreciation.

Shareholders and Board of Directors
Dreyfus Smallcap Stock Index Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the statements of investments and financial futures, of Dreyfus Smallcap Stock Index Fund (one of the series comprising Dreyfus Index Funds, Inc.) as of October 31, 2013, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended.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 October 31, 2013 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 Smallcap Stock Index Fund at October 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
