A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Dynamic Alternatives Fund, Inc., covering the period between the fund’s inception on March 9, 2010, and October 31, 2010.

Although a double-dip recession has recently become an increasingly unlikely scenario in our view, persistent uncertainty regarding the breadth and strength of the U.S. and global economic recoveries led to bouts of heightened volatility for U.S. stocks during most of 2010.The spending power of the U.S. consumer, long an important catalyst for economic growth, has been diminished by concerns over job security and an inability to generate cash from home equity.The second major driver of sustainable growth, corporate investment, has been stunted to a similar extent by tight credit conditions. However, the recent announcement of additional quantitative easing (QE2) measures by the Federal Reserve Board, as well as improved fundamentals across many developing nations, have helped support moderate global economic growth.

Uncertainty will probably remain in the broader financial markets until we see more evidence of robust economic growth, but we remain optimistic regarding the prospects for equities. Many stocks of quality companies with healthy balance sheets, higher credit ratings and strong cash flows appear to be currently priced at a discount.With that, we strongly suggest that you meet with your financial advisor to discuss the potential opportunities which may exist in the global markets, as well as to evaluate your portfolio to help meet your individual investment needs and your future goals relative to your risk-tolerance level.

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.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period of March 9, 2010, through October 31, 2010, as provided by Vassilis Dagioglu, James Stavena, Torrey Zaches, and Joseph Miletich, Portfolio Managers

Fund and Market Performance Overview

For the period between the fund’s inception on March 9, 2010, and October 31, 2010, Dreyfus Dynamic Alternatives Fund’s Class A shares produced a total return of –2.08%, Class C shares returned –2.56% and Class I shares returned –1.84%.¹ In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index (the “HFRI Index”), produced a total return of 7.04% from February 28, 2010, through October 31, 2010.² Our analyses indicated that hedge funds likely benefited from short U.S. Treasury positions but were hurt by exposure to the U.S. dollar during the reporting period. The fund produced returns that were lower than its benchmark, due mainly to short positions across a variety of equity markets.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks total return (consisting of capital appreciation and income) that approximates or exceeds the total return of a diversified portfolio of hedge funds included in the HFRI Index. To pursue its goal, the fund follows a hedge fund beta replication strategy designed to provide investment exposure to a diversified portfolio of hedge funds included in the HFRI Index, combined with a managed futures replication strategy designed to mitigate downside risks of its hedge fund beta replication strategies.The fund normally will use derivative instruments—particularly futures, options, swaps and forward contracts—on U.S. and non-U.S. equity and fixed-income securities, securities indices, currencies, commodities and other instruments.

When selecting investments in connection with the hedge fund beta replication strategy, we employ statistical models to estimate the market exposures (or betas) that drive the HFRI Index’s returns.When selecting investments to mitigate risks, we estimate the exposures that drive the aggregate returns of certain commodity trading advisors in the HFRI Index.To determine the allocation of fund assets, we use a proprietary macro risk allocation model.We then implement the allocation through a combination of long and short positions in equity index futures and options, U.S. Treasury and foreign sovereign bond futures, currency forward contracts, commodity and commodity index futures, and index total rate of return swaps.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

Economic Concerns Sparked Market Volatility

Early in the reporting period, stocks, bonds and many commodities were driven higher amid heightened volatility as investors reacted to continually improving economic data.Although the fund began operations in the midst of an economic recovery, investor confidence was soon shaken by a sovereign debt crisis in Europe. In the United States, mixed housing and employment data and a catastrophic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico added to uncertainty. As investor sentiment deteriorated during the spring and summer, financial markets declined sharply. However, investors’ fears at the time may have been overblown. Corporate earnings generally continued to improve, and the U.S. and global economies remained on mildly upward trajectories, sparking market rallies in September and October that erased the reporting period’s previous losses.

Replication Strategy Lagged Market Averages

Our models suggested that hedge funds were short U.S.Treasury securities and long the U.S. dollar during the reporting period.This positioning would have produced mixed results, as U.S.Treasuries rallied and the U.S. dollar lost value in anticipation of a new round of quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve Board.

As hedge fund returns and market conditions evolved, we made tactical shifts in the fund’s exposure across and within asset classes. Most significantly, we changed from an extremely bearish view on the U.S. dollar to a mildly bullish view.We also purchased U.S.Treasury securities across the maturity spectrum.To a lesser degree, we increased the fund’s long position in emerging-markets equities, and we reduced a long position in small-cap stocks.

However, our replication strategies did not match the results provided by the broader hedge-fund market.The shortfall was primarily due to short positions across a variety of stock indices, most notably the NASDAQ 100 Index and, to a lesser extent, the MSCI EAFE Index and European stocks.The managed futures employed in our risk management strategy also produced lower returns than the HFRI Index.

Relative weakness stemming from these positions was offset to a significant degree by others.The fund’s long positions in emerging-markets equities and U.S. small-cap stocks proved to be the greatest positive contributors to relative performance. The fund’s investments in commodities—namely long positions in corn and gold—also contributed positively to the fund’s results.

Positioned for Further Recovery

As of the reporting period’s end, we have established a net long position in global equities, with an emphasis on the emerging markets. In anticipation of low to moderate inflation expectations, the fund has maintained long positions in the sovereign bonds of the United States and Europe. Among commodities, the fund holds a long position in gold, as major

4

currencies may continue to encounter political and market uncertainty. In our judgment, these strategies potentially position the fund for continued economic recovery with mild increases in inflation expectations.

November 15, 2010

	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
	prospectus of the fund and that of each underlying fund.
	A small investment in derivatives could have a potentially large impact on the fund’s performance.
	The use of derivatives involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated
	with investing directly in the underlying assets. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and
	difficult to value, and there is the risk that changes in the value of a derivative held by the fund
	will not correlate with the underlying instruments or the fund’s other investments.
	The use of leverage, such as entering into futures contracts and forward currency contracts, engaging
	in forward commitment transactions, and engaging in reverse repurchase agreements, may magnify
	the fund’s gains and losses. Because many derivatives have a leverage component, adverse changes
	in the value or level of the underlying asset, reference rate or index can result in a loss
	substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself.
	The fund does not invest in hedge funds.The fund, however, seeks investment exposure to the asset
	categories and investment strategies that drive the aggregate returns of a diversified portfolio of hedge
	funds and commodity trading advisors included in the HFRI Index. Because hedge funds are often
	illiquid and highly leveraged, investors should consider purchasing shares of the fund only as part of
	an overall diversified portfolio and should be willing to assume the potentially significant risks.
	The fund is not an index fund.The fund, however, follows a hedge fund beta replication strategy
	combined with a managed futures replication strategy designed to provide investment exposure to
	the HFRI Index.The HFRI Index may not provide an accurate representation of hedge fund
	returns or the returns of commodity trading advisors managing funds using momentum or long
	volatility strategies.
	The fund’s performance attributable to its hedge fund beta replication strategy may not correlate to
	that of the HFRI Index because the strategy may not successfully indentify or be able to replicate
	the common factors that drive the aggregate returns of the HFRI Index.
	To the extent the fund has investment exposure to foreign markets, the fund’s performance will be
	influenced by political, social and economic factors affecting investments in foreign issuers. 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. Emerging markets tend
	to be more volatile than the markets of more mature economies, and generally have less diverse and
	less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries.
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, yield and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares
	may be worth more or less than their original cost. Return figures provided reflect an undertaking
	for the absorption of certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation through March 31,
	2011, at which time it may be extended, terminated or modified. Had these expenses not been
	absorbed, the fund’s returns would have been lower.

	comprise the Index. Constituent funds must have either $50 million under management or a track
	record of greater than 12 months.The HFRI Index consists only of hedge funds. Investors cannot

(the “fund”) had no operations until March 9, 2010 (commencement of operations) other than matters relating to its organization and registration as a non-diversified open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”) and the sale and issuance of 3,200 shares of Class A, 2,400 shares of Class C and 2,400 shares of Class I Common Stock (“Initial Shares”) to The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”). The fund’s investment objective is to seek total return (consisting of capital appreciation and income) that approximates or exceeds the total return of a diversified portfolio of hedge funds included in the HFRI^TM Fund Weighted Composite Index (“HFRI Index”).The HFRI Index is a Trademark of the Hedge Fund Research, Inc. (“HFR”) and has been licensed for use by Dreyfus in connection with the fund.The fund has agreed to pay a fee for the use of this license. HFR makes no recommendation or representation regarding the fund or the advisability of investing in the fund. The Manager, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of NewYork Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. The Manager has engaged its affiliate, Mellon Capital Management Corporation (the “Sub-Adviser” or “Mellon Capital”), to serve as the fund’s sub-investment adviser and to provide day-to-day management of the fund’s investments, subject to the supervision of the Manager.

The fund may invest in certain commodities through its investment in Dreyfus Alternatives Fund Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary of the fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands.The Subsidiary has the ability to invest in commodities and securities consistent with the investment objective of the fund. As of October 31, 2010, the fund held $2,341,179 in the Subsidiary, representing 17.18% of the fund’s net assets.

The financial statements have been consolidated and include the accounts of the fund and the Subsidiary. Accordingly, all inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

16

MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares. The fund is authorized to issue 200 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class C and Class I. 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. 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 than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investme nts are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

As of October 31, 2010, MBC Investments Corp., an indirect subsidiary of BNY Mellon, held 243,200 Class A, 82,400 Class C and 82,400 Class I shares of the fund.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 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 consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions.Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in equity 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 valu e.When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Directors. 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 futures contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the Board of Directors, certain factors may be considered such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that inf luence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers.

Investments in debt securities excluding short-term investments (other than U.S. Treasury Bills), financial futures, options transactions and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Directors. Investments for which

18

quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are valued as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Short-term investments, excluding U.S.Treasury Bills, are carried at amortized cost, which approximates value. Financial futures and options, which are traded on an exchange, are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities a re primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day. Options traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean between the bid and asked price. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of the exchange. Forward contracts are valued at the forward rate.

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.

The Fund 19

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2010 in valuing the fund’s investments:

		Level 2—Other	Level 3—

In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. The portions of ASU No. 2010-06 which require reporting entities to prepare new disclosures surrounding amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 have been adopted by the fund. No significant transfers between Level 1 or Level 2 fair value measurements occurred at October 31, 2010.The remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.These new and revi sed disclosures are required to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 may have on the fund’s consolidated financial statement disclosures.

(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 included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

The Fund 21

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(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” in the Act.

The fund may invest in shares of certain affiliated investment companies also advised or managed by Dreyfus. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended October 31, 2010 were as follows:

Affiliated
Investment	Value		Value	Net
Company	3/9/2010 ($)	Purchases ($)	Sales ($) 10/31/2010 ($)	Assets (%)
Dreyfus
Institutional
Preferred
Plus Money
Market Fund	—	12,299,000	9,639,000 2,660,000	19.5

(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”).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.

(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 pro-

22

visions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary’s income. Net investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.

As of and during the period ended October 31, 2010, 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 Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the period, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

The tax period ended October 31, 2010 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At October 31, 2010, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: accumulated capital losses $143,301 and unrealized appreciation $97,495.

The accumulated capital loss carryover is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 2010. If not applied, the carryover expires in expires in fiscal 2018.

During the period ended October 31, 2010, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for net operating losses and fund start-up costs, the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $87,361, increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by $87,127 and decreased paid-in capital by $174,488. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.

NOTE 2—Management Fee, Sub-Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of 1.00% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.The Manager has contractually agreed, until March 31, 2011, to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the direct expenses of the fund, and the operating costs of the Subsidiary, so that the expenses of none of the classes (excluding the fund’s Rule 12b-1 fees, shareholder services fees, taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, commitment fees on borrowings, and extraordinary expenses) exceed 1.20%. In addition, the Manager has contractually agreed, until March 31, 2011 and thereafter for as long as the fund invests in the Subsidiary, to waive the management fee it receives from the fund in an amount equal to the management fee paid to the Manager by the Subsidiary. This undertaking may not be terminated, until March 31, 2011, unless the Manager obtains the prior approval of the fund’s Board of Directors.The expense reimbursement, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $229,206 during the period ended October 31, 2010.

Pursuant to a sub-investment advisory agreement between the Manager and Mellon Capital, the Manager pays Mellon Capital a monthly fee at an annual rate of .41% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets.

During the period ended October 31, 2010, the Distributor retained $44 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares.

(b) Under the Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class C shares pay the Distributor for distributing its shares at an annual rate of .75% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. During the period ended October 31, 2010, Class C shares were charged $4,883, pursuant to the Plan.

(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Class A and Class C shares pay the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of their average daily net assets for the provision of certain services.The services pro-

24

vided 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 (a securities dealer, financial institution or other industry professional) in respect of these services.The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended October 31, 2010, Class A and Class C shares were charged $5,056 and $1,628, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the fund.

The fund has arrangements with the custodian and cash management bank whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody and cash management fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The fund compensates The Bank of NewYork Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, under a cash management agreement for performing cash management services related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. During the period ended October 31, 2010, the fund was charged $27 pursuant to the cash management agreement, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.These fees were partially offset by earnings credits of $2.

The fund also compensates The Bank of New York Mellon under a custody agreement for providing custodial services for the fund.

The Fund 25

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

During the period ended October 31, 2010, the fund was charged $1,507 pursuant to the custody agreement.

During the period ended October 31, 2010, the fund was charged $6,114 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.

(e) A 2% redemption fee is charged and retained by the fund on certain shares redeemed within sixty days following the date of issuance subject to exceptions, including redemptions made through use of the fund’s exchange privilege.

NOTE 3—Securities Transactions:

During the period October 31, 2010, there were no purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, financial futures, options transactions and forward contracts.

The provisions of ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The disclosure requirements distinguish between derivatives, which are accounted for as “hedges” and those that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Because investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in

26

fair value through the Consolidated Statement of Operations, they do not qualify for such accounting. Accordingly, even though a fund’s investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for purposes of this disclosure.The following tables show the fund’s exposure to different types of market risk as it relates to the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Consolidated Statement of Operations, respectively.

Fair value of derivative instruments as of October 31, 2010 is shown below:

Futures Contracts: In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the fund is exposed to market risk, including equity price risk, interest rate risk, commodity risk and foreign currency risk as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments.The fund invests in financial futures contracts in order to manage its exposure to or protect against changes in the market. A 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 broker, 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

28

daily unrealized gains or losses which are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Futures contracts are valued daily at the last sales price established by the Board ofTrade or exchange upon which they are traded.When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss.There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the fund with futures since futures are exchange traded, and the exchange’s clearinghouse guarantees the futures against default. Contracts open at October 31, 2010 are set forth in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Futures.

Options: The fund purchases and writes (sells) put and call options to hedge against changes in the values of equities, or as a substitute for an investment.The fund is subject to market risk in the course of pursuing its investment objectives through its investments in options contracts.A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the writer to sell, the underlying security or securities at the exercise price at any time during the option period, or at a specified date. Conversely, a put option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to sell, and obligates the writer to buy the underlying security or securities at the exercise price at any time during the option period, or at a specified date.

As a writer of call options, the fund receives a premium at the outset and then bears the market risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the financial instrument underlying the option. Generally, the fund realizes a gain, to the extent of the premium, if the price of the underlying financial instrument decreases between the date the option is written and the date on which the option is terminated. Generally, the fund incurs a loss, if the price of the financial instrument increases between those dates.

As a writer of put options, the fund receives a premium at the outset and then bears the market risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the financial instrument underlying the option. Generally, the fund realizes a gain, to the extent of the premium, if the price of the underlying financial instrument increases between the date the option is

The Fund 29

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

written and the date on which the option is terminated. Generally, the fund incurs a loss, if the price of the financial instrument decreases between those dates.

As a writer of an option, the fund has no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (called) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.There is a risk of loss from a change in value of such options which may exceed the related premiums received. One risk of holding a put or a call option is that if the option is not sold or exercised prior to its expiration, it becomes worthless. However, this risk is limited to the premium paid by the fund. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The following summarizes the fund’s call/put options written for the period ended October 31, 2010:

			Options Terminated

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

30

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 gain or loss which occurred during the period is reflected in the Consolidated 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 typically limited t o the unrealized gain on each open contract.The following summarizes open forward contracts at October 31, 2010:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated statements of investments, financial futures and options written, of Dreyfus Dynamic Alternatives Fund, Inc. as of October 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in net assets and financial highlights for the period from March 9, 2010 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 2010. 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 audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit 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 pri nciples 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, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and others.We believe that our audit provides 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 consolidated financial position of Dreyfus Dynamic Alternatives Fund, Inc. at October 31, 2010, and the consolidated results of its operations, changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period from March 9, 2010 to October 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

EX-99.COD ETH

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.

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

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

-2-

SSL-DOCS2 70116469v3

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.

-3-

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.
