If an Investment Company, named as Insured herein, shall, while this bond is in force, merge or consolidate with, or purchase the assets of another institution, coverage for such acquisition shall apply automatically from the date of acquisition. The Insured shall notify the Underwriter of such acquisition within 60 days of said date, and an additional premium shall be computed only if such acquisition involves additional offices or employees.

No statement made by or on behalf of the Insured, whether contained in the application or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a warranty of anything except that it is true to the best of the knowledge and belief of the person making the statement.

C. COURT COSTS AND ATTORNEYS' FEES (Applicable to all Insuring Agreements or Coverages now or hereafter forming part of this bond)

The Underwriter will indemnify the Insured against court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred and paid by the Insured in defense, whether or not successful, whether or not fully litigated on the merits and whether or not settled of any suit or legal proceeding brought against the Insured to enforce the Insured's liability or alleged liability on account of any loss, claim or damage which, if established against the Insured, would constitute a loss sustained by the Insured covered under the terms of this bond provided, however, that with respect to Insuring Agreement (A) this indemnity shall apply only in the event that

SECTION 4. LOSS -NOTICE -PROOF-LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

This bond is for the use and benefit only of the Insured named in the Declarations and the Underwriter shall not be liable hereunder for loss sustained by anyone other than the Insured unless the Insured, in its sole discretion and at its option, shall include such loss in the Insured's proof of loss.

(b)	receives written notice of an actual or potential claim by a third party which alleges that the Insured is liable under circumstance

which would cause a reasonable person to assume that a loss covered by the bond has been or will be incurred even though the exact amount or details of loss may not be then known.

SECTION 5. VALUATION OF PROPERTY

The value of any Property, except books of accounts or other records used by the Insured in the conduct of its business, for the loss of which a claim shall be made hereunder, shall be determined by the average market value of such Property on the business day next preceding the discovery of such loss; provided, however, that the value of any Property replaced by the Insured prior to the payment of claim therefor shall be the actual market value at the time of replacement; and further provided that in case of a loss or misplacement of interim certificates, warrants, rights, or other securities, the production which is necessary to the exercise of subscription, conversion, redemption or deposit privileges, the value thereof shall be the market value of such privileges immediately preceding the expiration thereof if said loss or misplacement is not discovered until after their expiration. If no market price is quoted for such Property or for such privileges, the value shall be fixed by agreement between the parties or by arbitration.

In case of any loss or damage to Property consisting of books of accounts or other records used by the Insured in the conduct of its business, the Underwriter shall be liable under this bond only if such books or records are actually reproduced and then for not more than the cost of blank books, blank pages or other materials plus the cost of labor for the actual transcription or copying of data which shall have been furnished by the Insured in order to reproduce such books and other records.

SECTION 6. VALUATION OF PREMISES AND FURNISHINGS

In case of damage to any office of the Insured, or loss of or damage to the furnishings, fixtures, stationery, supplies, equipment, safes or vaults therein, the Underwriter shall not be liable for more than the actual cash value thereof, or for more than the actual cost of their replacement or repair. The Underwriter may, at its election, pay such actual cash value or make such replacement or repair. If the Underwriter and the Insured cannot agree upon such cash value or such cost of replacement or repair, such shall be determined by arbitration.

SECTION 7. LOST SECURITIES

If the Insured shall sustain a loss of securities the total value of which is in excess of the limit stated in Item 3 of the Declarations of this bond, the liability of the Underwriter shall be limited to payment for, or duplication of, securities having value equal to the limit stated in Item 3 of the Declarations of this bond.

If the Underwriter shall make payment to the Insured for any loss of securities, the Insured shall thereupon assign to the Underwriter all of the Insured's rights, title and interests in and to said securities.

With respect to securities the value of which do not exceed the Deductible Amount (at the time of the discovery of the loss) and for which the Underwriter may at its sole discretion and option and at the request of the Insured issue a Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds to effect replacement thereof, the Insured will pay the usual premium charged therefor and will indemnify the Underwriter against all loss or expense that the Underwriter may sustain because of the issuance of such Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds.

With respect to securities the value of which exceeds the Deductible Amount (at the time of discovery of the loss) and for which the Underwriter may issue or arrange for the issuance of a Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds to effect replacement thereof, the Insured agrees that it will pay as premium therefor a proportion of the usual premium charged therefor, said proportion being equal to the percentage that the Deductible Amount bears to the value of the securities upon discovery of the loss, and that it will indemnify the issuer of said Lost Instrument Bond or Bonds against all loss and expense that is not recoverable from the Underwriter under the terms and conditions of this INVESTMENT COMPANY BLANKET BOND subject to the Limit of Liability hereunder.

This bond does not afford coverage in favor of such Corporations or Exchanges or any nominee in whose name is registered any security included within the systems for the central handling of securities established and maintained by such Corporations, and upon payment to the Insured by the Underwriter on account of any loss(es) within the systems, an assignment of such of the Insured's rights and causes of action as it may have against such Corporations or Exchanges shall to the extent of such payment, be given by the Insured to the Underwriter, and the Insured shall execute all papers necessary to secure to the Underwriter the rights provided for herein.

Exhibit E

AGREEMENT REGARDING

BNY MELLON FUNDS JOINT INSURED BOND

AGREEMENT among BNY Mellon Large Cap Securities Fund, Inc. (formerly, The Dreyfus Fund Incorporated) and certain other investment companies as to which BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (formerly, The Dreyfus Corporation) or any affiliate (“BNY Investment Adviser”) now acts as Investment Adviser, Sub-Investment Adviser and/or Administrator (individually, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) and which are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Funds are covered as joint insureds under a Fidelity Bond or Bonds (the “Bond”) which complies with Rule 17g-1 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Act (“Rule 17g-1”); and

WHEREAS, the Funds have entered into this Agreement to meet the requirements of paragraph (f) of Rule 17g-1;

NOW THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY AGREED:

1.       In the event that recovery is received under the Bond as a result of a loss sustained by two or more of the Funds, each Fund shall receive an equitable and proportionate share of said recovery, but said recovery shall at least equal the amount that each such Fund would have received had the Fund provided and maintained a single insured bond with the minimum coverage required by paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 17g-1.

2.       The Funds acknowledge and agree that, upon approval by the Funds’ respective Boards of Directors/Trustees, the amount of the Bond or the carriers issuing the Bond may be changed from time to time, and that any such change shall not affect the rights and obligations of the Funds under this Agreement.

1

3.       Each Fund shall be responsible for paying its pro-rata share, based on the ratio of its assets to the assets of all of the Funds, of the premium payable in respect of the Bond. The Funds acknowledge and agree that any new Fund added to the Bond or as a party to this Agreement will not be responsible for the foregoing amount incurred prior to the first Bond renewal following the addition of such Fund.

4.       The Funds agree that any registered investment company for which BNY Investment Adviser in the future becomes the Investment Adviser, Sub-Investment Adviser and/or Administrator added as a joint insured under the Bond may become a party to this Agreement upon the execution of a copy of this Agreement by its duly authorized officer and shall thereafter be deemed a “Fund” hereunder.

5.       This Agreement shall cease to apply to any Fund in respect of any loss that occurs after such Fund (i) ceases to be an investment company by order of the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 8(f) of the Act, or (ii) ceases to be advised, sub-advised and/or administered by BNY Investment Adviser, and such Fund shall, at and after such time, cease to be a party to this Agreement for all purposes.

6.       This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of any successor company of any of the undersigned, or any company into which any of the undersigned may be merged or with which it may be consolidated.

7.       As to each Fund that is organized as a trust, this Agreement has been executed on behalf of the Fund by the undersigned officer of the Fund in her capacity as an officer of the Fund; the obligations of this Agreement shall only be binding upon the assets and property of the Fund and shall not be binding upon any Board member, officer or shareholder of the Fund individually.

2

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Funds listed on Schedule A have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective officers, thereunto duly authorized as of the day and year written below.
