A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Worldwide Growth Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2011, through October 31, 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.

Despite pronounced stock market weakness during the spring of 2012, stocks generally advanced over the reporting period as investors responded to encouraging macroeconomic developments throughout the world. Employment gains in the United States, credible measures to prevent a more severe banking crisis in Europe, and the likelihood of a “soft landing” for China’s economy buoyed investor sentiment, as did aggressively accommodative monetary policies from central banks in the United States, Europe, Japan and China. Consequently, U.S. stocks across all capitalization ranges posted double-digit returns, on average, for the reporting period.

In light of the easy monetary policies adopted by many countries, we expect global growth to be slightly more robust in 2013 than in 2012.The U.S. economic recovery is likely to persist at subpar levels over the first half of the new year, as growth may remain constrained by uncertainties surrounding fiscal policy and tax reforms. However, successful resolution of the current fiscal debate may prompt corporate decision-makers to increase capital spending, which could have positive implications for the U.S. economy and domestic equity markets.As always, we encourage you to stay in touch with your financial advisor as new developments unfold.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Jonathan R. Baum
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period of November 1, 2011, through October 31, 2012, as provided by Fayez Sarofim, Portfolio Manager of Fayez Sarofim & Co., Sub-Investment Adviser

Fund and Market Performance Overview

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2012, Dreyfus Worldwide Growth Fund’s Class A shares produced a total return of 12.42%, Class C shares returned 11.57% and Class I shares returned 12.70%.¹ For the same period, the fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index (“MSCI World Index”), produced a 9.45% total return.²

Despite bouts of volatility, equities generally advanced over the reporting period as global and domestic economic conditions gradually improved. The fund produced higher returns than its benchmark, mainly due to the success of our security selection strategy in the consumer staples, information technology, energy, and health care sectors.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund invests primarily in large, well-established, multinational companies that we believe are well positioned to weather difficult economic climates and thrive during favorable times. We focus on purchasing large-cap, blue-chip stocks at a price we consider to be justified by a company’s fundamentals.The result is a portfolio of stocks of prominent companies selected for what we consider to be sustained patterns of profitability, strong balance sheets, expanding global presence and above-average earnings growth potential.The fund pursues a “buy-and-hold” investment strategy in which we typically buy and sell relatively few stocks during the course of the year, which may help to reduce investors’ tax liabilities and the fund’s trading costs.³

Markets Reacted to Shifting Macroeconomic Developments

The reporting period began in the wake of major stock market declines throughout the world, resulting in attractive valuations in a number of market sectors in November 2011. By the beginning of 2012, stocks in many markets were rallying strongly amid encouraging macroeconomic developments, including U.S. employment gains, a quantitative easing program in Europe that forestalled a more severe regional banking crisis, and less restrictive monetary and fiscal policies in China. Meanwhile, corporate

The Fund  3 

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

earnings generally remained strong, and many companies had shored up their balance sheets. Consequently, investors grew more tolerant of risks, focusing more on company fundamentals and less on macroeconomic developments.

These positive influences were called into question during the spring, when the U.S. labor market’s rebound slowed, measures designed to relieve fiscal pressures in Europe encountered resistance and China’s economy remained sluggish.The summer saw the market rally resume amid more encouraging economic news, enabling the MSCI World Index to end the reporting period with respectable gains.

Stock Selections Buoyed Relative Performance

The fund participated more than fully in the global market’s overall gains, with particularly strong contributions from its focus on global, dividend-paying companies in the consumer staples sector when turmoil in Europe caused investors to seek more defensive investments.Winners in the consumer staples sector included companies with significant exposure to faster-growing emerging markets, including tobacco producer Philip Morris International, spirits maker Diageo, ADR, beauty products purveyor L’Oreal,ADR, food giant Nestle,ADR and beverages leader Coca-Cola.

Among the fund’s information technology holdings, electronics innovator Apple continued to score impressive success with its tablet computer and smartphone products. In the energy sector, the fund’s focus on integrated oil companies, most notably ExxonMobil, buoyed relative results. Winners in the health care sector included Denmark-based pharmaceutical developer Novo Nordisk, ADR, which benefited from a robust new product pipeline and rising demand for its diabetes drugs, and German drug company Roche Holding, ADR, which was rewarded by investors for its strong oncology and biotechnology franchises.

The fund achieved more disappointing relative results from the consumer discretionary sector. In addition, a handful of disappointing stock selections in the market segment included casual dining giant McDonald’s, which was hurt by lower same-store sales comparisons, and Brazilian fast food franchisee Arcos Dorados Holdings, Cl.A, which struggled as the local economy slowed. Although an underweighted position in the financials sector had helped the fund over much of 2011, it proved counterproductive during the reporting period when banks and other financial institutions rallied.

Meanwhile, semiconductor makers Intel and Texas Instruments encountered weakness in the midst of a slower economic environment.

Stocks Could Move Higher Amid Volatility

While the global economy has shown signs of moderate improvement in some markets, we believe that the ongoing European debt crisis and lingering concerns regarding an economic slowdown in the emerging markets may continue to fuel heightened market volatility. However, stock valuations remain attractive compared to historical averages, corporate earnings generally are robust, and monetary policies throughout the world are aggressively stimulative, suggesting that the global economic recovery could gain momentum in 2013.

In light of these factors, we made a number of changes to the portfolio over the reporting period. We established new positions in investment manager BlackRock, energy producer Canadian Natural Resources, and technology company QUALCOMM, and we eliminated certain positions in the health care and food processing industries.

November 15, 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. 

1 Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid, and does not take into consideration the 

maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares, or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge imposed 

on redemptions in the case of Class C shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. 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. 

2 SOURCE: LIPPER INC. – Reflects reinvestment of net dividends and, where applicable, capital gain distributions. 

The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index is an unmanaged index of global stock market 

performance, including the United States, Canada, Europe,Australia, New Zealand and the Far East. Investors 

cannot invest directly in any index. 

3 Achieving tax efficiency is not a part of the fund’s investment objective, and there can be no guarantee that the fund 

will achieve any particular level of taxable distributions in future years. In periods when the manager has to sell 

significant amounts of securities (e.g., during periods of significant net redemptions or changes in index components) 

the fund can be expected to be less tax efficient than during periods of more stable market conditions and asset flows.

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 Worldwide Growth Fund from May 1, 2012 to October 31, 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 October 31, 2012
	Class A	Class C	Class I
Expenses paid per $1,000†	$ 6.11	$ 9.83	$ 4.90
Ending value (after expenses)	$ 1,008.80	$ 1,005.20	$ 1,010.20

COMPARING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES 

WITH THOSE OF OTHER FUNDS (Unaudited) 

Using the SEC’s method to compare expenses

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total cost) of investing in the fund with those of other funds.All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.

Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment
assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended October 31, 2012
	Class A	Class C	Class I
Expenses paid per $1,000†	$ 6.14	$ 9.88	$ 4.93
Ending value (after expenses)	$ 1,019.05	$ 1,015.33	$ 1,020.26

Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.21% for Class A, 1.95% for Class C and .97% for Class I, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Worldwide Growth Fund (the “fund”) is the sole series of Dreyfus Premier Worldwide Growth Fund, Inc. (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company.The fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation consistent with the preservation of capital. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. Fayez Sarofim & Co. (“Sarofim & Co.”) serves as the fund’s sub-investment adviser.

MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, is the distributor of the fund’s shares.The fund is authorized to issue 400 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock.The fund currently offers three classes of shares: Class A (200 million shares authorized), Class C (100 million shares authorized) and Class I (100 million shares authorized). Class A shares are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class I shares are sold at net asset value per share only to institutional investors. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved, effective as of the close of business on March 13, 2012, the transfer of shares authorized from Class B to Class A shares. Class B shares were subject to a CDSC imposed on Class B share redemptions made within six years of purchase and automatically converted to Class A shares after six years. The fund no longer offers Class B shares. Effective March 13, 2012, all outstanding Class B shares were automatically converted to Class A shares. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other

The Fund  19 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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.

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 measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that pri-oritizes 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.

20

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

Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs

The Fund  21 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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 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.

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

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2012 in valuing the fund’s investments:

		Level 2—Other	Level 3—
	Level 1—	Significant	Significant
	Unadjusted	Observable	Unobservable
	Quoted Prices	Inputs	Inputs	Total

Mutual Funds	13,156,552	—	—	13,156,552
† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.

22

At October 31, 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

(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 investments 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.

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

The Fund  23 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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 October 31, 2012, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $14,098 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.

(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” in the Act. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended October 31, 2012 were as follows:

Affiliated

Total	14,409,000		122,391,282	123,643,730 13,156,552			2.3

(e) 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”). Effective March 31, 2012, dividends from investment income-net were declared and paid quarterly and dividends from net realized capital gains, if any, were declared and paid annually.To the extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to

24

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

(f) 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, 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 four-year period ended October 31, 2012 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At October 31, 2012, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $1,966,606, undistributed capital gains $2,588,539 and unrealized appreciation $291,114,952.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011 were as follows: ordinary income $10,404,395 and $8,208,022 and long-term capital gains $12,974,638 and $9,430,557, respectively.

During the period ended October 31, 2012, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for foreign currency gains and losses and dividend reclassification, the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $9,566 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.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $225 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. Effective October 10, 2012, the $225 million unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A., was decreased to $210 million. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility.

The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (securities dealers, financial institutions or other industry professionals) in respect of these services.The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended October 31, 2012, Class A, Class B and Class C shares were charged $1,076,325, $1,595 and $144,791, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

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, 2012 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 Worldwide Growth Fund at October 31, 2012, 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.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE RENEWAL OF THE 

FUND’S MANAGEMENT AND SUB-INVESTMENT 

ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited) 

At a meeting of the fund’s Board of Directors held on July 24, 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 Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement (together, the “Agreements”), pursuant to which Fayez Sarofim & Co. (the “Sub-Adviser”) 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 Sub-Adviser. 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 (such as retail direct or intermediary, in which intermediaries typically are paid by the fund and/or Dreyfus) and Dreyfus’ corresponding need for broad, deep, and diverse resources to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each intermediary or distribution channel, as applicable to the fund.

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’

AND SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued) 

extensive administrative, accounting, and compliance infrastructures, as well as Dreyfus’ supervisory activities over the Sub-Adviser.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 June 30, 2012, 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 all periods, and ranked in the first quartile of the Performance Group and Performance Universe for most of the periods. 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

32

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 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 Sub-Adviser 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 Sub-Adviser in relation to the fee paid to Dreyfus by the fund and the respective services provided by the Sub-Adviser and Dreyfus.The Board also noted the Sub-Adviser’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 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 the evaluation of whether the fees under the

The Fund  33 

INFORMATION ABOUT THE RENEWAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT 

AND SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued) 

Agreements bear a reasonable relationship to the mix of services provided by Dreyfus and the Sub-Adviser, 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 Sub-Adviser pursuant to the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board did not consider the Sub-Adviser’s profitability to be relevant to its deliberations. Dreyfus representatives 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 Sub-Adviser from acting as investment adviser and sub-investment adviser, respectively, and noted the soft dollar arrangements in effect for trading the fund’s investments.

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 Sub-Adviser are adequate and appropriate.

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

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

34

• 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.

In evaluating the Agreements, the Board considered these conclusions and determinations and also relied on its previous knowledge, gained through meetings and other interactions with Dreyfus and its affiliates and the Sub-Adviser, of the fund and the services provided to the fund by Dreyfus and the Sub-Adviser.The Board also relied on information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year relating to the operations of the fund and the investment management and other services provided under the Agreements, including information on the investment performance of the fund in comparison to similar mutual funds and benchmark performance indices; general market outlook as applicable to the fund; and compliance reports. 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.

EX-99.COD ETH

Exhibit (a)(1)

THE DREYFUS FAMILY OF FUNDS

CODE OF ETHICS FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE

AND SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS

1.Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code

This code of ethics (the "Code") for the investment companies within the complex (each, a "Fund") applies to each Fund's Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer or Controller, or other persons performing similar functions, each of whom is listed on Exhibit A(the "Covered Officers"), for the purpose of promoting:

·honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

·full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Fund files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and in other public communications made by the Fund;

·compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

·the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

·accountability for adherence to the Code.

Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

2.Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

Overview. A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Officer's private interest interferes with the interests of, or his service to, the Fund.  For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position with the Fund.

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Advisers Act"). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Fund because of their status as "affiliated persons" of the Fund. The compliance programs and procedures of the Fund and the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser") are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. The Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and the circumstances they cover fall outside of the parameters of the Code.

SSL-DOCS2 70116469v3

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Fund and the Adviser of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees.  As a result, the Code recognizes that the Covered Officers, in the ordinary course of their duties (whether formally for the Fund or for the Adviser, or for both), will be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the Adviser and the Fund. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Fund and the Adviser and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Fund and, if addressed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Fund's Board that the Covered Officers also may be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes of ethics.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act.  Covered Officers should keep in mind that the Code cannot enumerate every possible scenario.  The overarching principle of the Code is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Fund.

Each Covered Officer must:

·not use his personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Fund whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund;

·not cause the Fund to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the Fund; and

·not retaliate against any employee or Covered Officer for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith.

3.Disclosure and Compliance

·Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Fund within his area of responsibility;

·each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Fund to others, whether within or outside the Fund, including to the Fund's Board members and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations;

·each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Fund and the Adviser with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Fund files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Fund; and

-2-

SSL-DOCS2 70116469v3

·it is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

4.Reporting and Accountability

Each Covered Officer must:

·upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter, as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Board that he has received, read, and understands the Code;

·annually thereafter affirm to the Board that he has complied with the requirements of the Code; and

·notify the Adviser's General Counsel (the "General Counsel") promptly if he knows of any violation of the Code.  Failure to do so is itself a violation of the Code.

The General Counsel is responsible for applying the Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret the Code in any particular situation. However, waivers sought by any Covered Officer will be considered by the Fund's Board.

The Fund will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing the Code:

·the General Counsel will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to him;

·if, after such investigation, the General Counsel believes that no violation has occurred, the General Counsel is not required to take any further action;

·any matter that the General Counsel believes is a violation will be reported to the Board;

·if the Board concurs that a violation has occurred, it will consider appropriate action, which may include: review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the Adviser or its board; or dismissal of the Covered Officer;

·the Board will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate; and

·any waivers of or amendments to the Code, to the extent required, will be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

5.Other Policies and Procedures

The Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Fund for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. The Fund's, its principal underwriter's and the Adviser's codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and the Adviser's additional policies and procedures, including its Code of Conduct, are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of the Code.

SSL-DOCS2 70116469v3

6.Amendments 

The Code may not be amended except in written form, which is specifically approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Fund's Board, including a majority of independent Board members.

7.Confidentiality 

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to the Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or the Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the appropriate Funds and their counsel, the appropriate Boards (or Committees) and their counsel and the Adviser. 

8.Internal Use

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Fund and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of the Fund, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
