Dear Shareholder:

     Your Dreyfus fund(s) and certain other funds in the Dreyfus Family of Funds will hold a special joint meeting of shareholders on February 8, 2012. Shareholders of certain funds will be asked to elect an additional Board member of their fund and, in the case of certain funds, elect three Board members who have been appointed by their fund’s Board and serve as current Board members of the fund, but whose election has not been proposed to shareholders until now. The enclosed proxy statement describes the nominees’ qualifications and each of their respective current roles overseeing funds in the Dreyfus Family of Funds. Please take the time to read the enclosed materials.

     Because the proposal to elect Board members is common to these funds, we have combined the proxy statement. If you own shares of more than one of these Dreyfus funds, the combined proxy statement may save you the time of reading more than one document before you vote. If you own shares of more than one of these funds on the record date for the meeting, please note that each fund has a separate proxy card. You should vote one for each fund in which you own shares.

     Remember, your vote is extremely important, no matter how large or small your fund holdings. By voting promptly, you can help avoid additional costs that are incurred with follow-up letters and calls.

To vote, you may use any of the following methods:

  • By Mail. Please complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card for each fund in which you own shares and mail it in the enclosed, postage-paid envelope.

  • By Internet. Have your proxy card(s) available. Go to the website listed on the proxy card. Enter your control number from your proxy card. Follow the instructions on the website.

  • By Telephone. Have your proxy card(s) available. Call the toll-free number listed on the proxy card. Enter your control number from your proxy card. Follow the recorded instructions.

  • In Person. Any shareholder who attends the meeting in person may vote by ballot at the meeting.

     We encourage you to vote through the Internet or by telephone using the number that appears on your proxy card(s). If you later decide to attend the meeting, you may revoke your proxy and vote your shares in person at the meeting. Whichever voting method you choose, please take the time to read the full text of the proxy statement before you vote.

     Your vote is very important to us. If you have any questions before you vote, please call one of the Dreyfus service representatives at 1-800-DREYFUS. Thank you for your response and for your continued investment with the Dreyfus Family of Funds.

COMBINED PROXY STATEMENT

Special Joint Meeting of Shareholders
to be held on February 8, 2012

     This proxy statement is furnished in connection with a solicitation of proxies by each of the respective Boards of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc. (“D/LFI”), The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds Trust (“D/LFT”), The Dreyfus/Laurel Tax-Free Municipal Funds (“D/LT-F”), Dreyfus Investment Funds (“DIF”) and Dreyfus Funds, Inc. (“DFI”) (each, a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”)* to be used at the Special Joint Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) of each Fund to be held on Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 10:30 a.m., at the offices of The Dreyfus Corporation (“Dreyfus”), 200 Park Avenue, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10166, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Special Joint Meeting of Shareholders. Shareholders of record at the close of business on November 1, 2011 are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each Fund share held and fractional votes for each fractional Fund share held. Shareholders can vote only on matters affecting the Fund(s) of which they are shareholders. Shares represented by executed and unrevoked proxies will be voted in accordance with the specifications made thereon. If any enclosed form of proxy is executed and returned, it nevertheless may be revoked by another proxy, by calling the toll-free telephone number, through the Internet or by letter directed to the relevant Fund, which must indicate the shareholder’s name and account number. To be effective, such revocation must be received before the Meeting. In addition, any shareholder who attends the Meeting in person may vote by ballot at the Meeting, thereby canceling any proxy previously given.

     Shareholders of each Fund will vote as a single class (which includes all series of a Fund) and will vote separately from the shareholders of each other Fund on the election of Board members. It is essential that shareholders who own shares in more than one Fund complete, date, sign and return, or otherwise provide voting instructions with respect to, each proxy card they receive.

     Information as to the number of shares outstanding and share ownership for each Fund is set forth on Schedule 1 to this proxy statement.

     The principal executive offices of each Fund are located at 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166. Copies of each Fund’s most recent Annual and Semi-Annual Reports are available upon request, without charge, by writing to the Fund at 144 Glenn Curtiss Boulevard, Uniondale, New York 11556-0144, or by calling toll-free 1-800-DREYFUS.

*     

Each Fund is a “series” investment company comprised of separate portfolios. For a list of each Fund’s series, see Schedule 1 to this proxy statement. Shareholders of each series of a Fund will vote as a single class on the proposal to elect Board members for the respective Fund.


 

PROPOSAL: ELECTION OF BOARD MEMBERS

     With respect D/LFI, D/LFT and D/LT-F, it is proposed that shareholders consider the election of Francine J. Bovich as an additional Board member of their Fund and also consider the election of Joseph S. DiMartino and Benaree Pratt Wiley, current Board members of these Funds not previously proposed to shareholders of the Funds, until now. With respect to DIF and DFI, it is proposed that shareholders consider the election of Ms. Bovich, a current Board member of these Funds not previously proposed to shareholders of the Funds, until now. Ms. Bovich, Ms. Wiley and Mr. DiMartino (the “Nominees”) were selected and nominated by those members of the present Boards of the Funds who are not “interested persons” of the Funds (“Independent Board members”), as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), after recommendation by one or more Independent Board members. The Nominees also currently serve as Board members of other funds in the Dreyfus Family of Funds. Ms. Wiley and Mr. DiMartino were elected by shareholders of DIF effective December 2008 and by shareholders of DFI effective September 2009. Mr. DiMartino currently serves as Chairman of the Board of each Fund and of the other funds in the Dreyfus Family of Funds. Each Nominee has consented to being named in this proxy statement and has agreed to serve as a Board member of the Funds if elected. Biographical information about each Nominee is set forth below. Biographical information about each Fund’s current Board members who are not Nominees, information on each Nominee’s and current Board member’s ownership of shares of the Funds, and other relevant information is set forth on Exhibit A to this proxy statement.

     The persons named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card(s) will vote for the election of the Nominees unless authority to vote for any or all of the Nominees is withheld in the proxy. Each Nominee elected will serve as an Independent Board member of the relevant Fund and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. It is not contemplated that any Nominee will be unable to serve as a Board member for any reason, but if that should occur prior to the Meeting, the proxy holders will vote for such other nominee or nominees as the Funds’ Independent Board members may recommend. Independent board members of investment companies play a critical role in overseeing fund operations and policing potential conflicts of interest between the fund and its investment adviser and other service providers.

     The following tables present information about the Nominees, including their principal occupations, other board memberships for the past five years and when they first became a Board member of a Fund. The address of each Nominee is c/o The Dreyfus Corporation, 200 Park Avenue, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10166.

     Each Fund typically pays its Board members its allocated portion of an annual retainer and a fee per meeting attended for the Funds and reimburses them for their expenses. Each Fund also pays its Emeritus Board members its allocated portion of an annual retainer and a fee per meeting attended for the Funds. For information on the amount of compensation paid to each current Board member by a Fund for the Fund’s last fiscal year, and paid by all funds in the Dreyfus Family of Funds for which such person was a Board member for the year ended December 31, 2010, see Exhibit A to this proxy statement.

     The current Board members of each Fund are responsible for overseeing management of the Funds. For more information on the Board’s oversight role as well as its composition and leadership structure, see Exhibit A to this proxy statement.

     Each Fund has a standing audit and nominating committee, each of which is comprised of the Fund’s Independent Board members. Each Fund also has a standing compensation committee comprised of Ms. Roslyn M. Watson (Chair), Mr. James M. Fitzgibbons and Ms. Wiley. For information on the number of committee meetings held during each Fund’s last fiscal year, see Exhibit A to this proxy statement.

     The function of each Fund’s audit committee is to (i) oversee the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the Fund’s financial statements and (ii) assist in the Board’s oversight of the integrity of the Fund’s financial statements, the Fund’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, independence and performance.

     Each Fund’s nominating committee is responsible for selecting and nominating persons for election or appointment by the Board and for election by shareholders. In evaluating potential nominees, including any nominees recommended by shareholders, the committee takes into consideration various factors listed in the nominating committee charter, including character and integrity and business and professional experience. The Committee may consider whether a potential nominee’s professional experience, education, skills and other individual qualities and attributes, including gender, race or national origin, would provide beneficial diversity of skills, experience or perspective to the Board’s membership and collective attributes. Such considerations will vary based on the Board’s existing membership and other factors, such as the strength of a potential nominee’s overall qualifications relative to diversity considerations. The nominating committee will consider recommendations for nominees from shareholders submitted to the Secretary of the Fund, c/o The Dreyfus Corporation Legal Department, 200 Park Avenue, 8th Floor East, New York, New York 10166, which include information regarding the recommended nominee as specified in the nominating committee charter. A copy of the Funds’ nominating committee charter is not available on the Funds’ or Dreyfus’ website, but is attached as Exhibit B to this proxy statement.

     The function of the compensation committee is to establish the appropriate compensation for serving on the Board. Each Fund also has a standing pricing committee comprised of any one Board member. The function of the pricing committee is to assist in valuing the Fund’s investments.

Required Vote

     For each Fund other than DFI, the election of a Nominee requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of votes cast at the Meeting for the election of Board members of the Fund. For DFI, the election of a Nominee requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the Meeting in person or by proxy.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

     The 1940 Act requires that each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm be selected by a majority of the Independent Board members of the Fund. One of the purposes of each Fund’s audit committee is to recommend to the Fund’s Board the selection, retention or termination of the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund. Each Fund’s audit committee recommended, and each Fund’s Board, including a majority of its Independent Board members, approved, the selection of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund’s current fiscal year. A representative of KPMG is expected to be present at the Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement (if the representative so desires) and to respond to appropriate questions.

     PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), an independent registered public accounting firm, was the independent registered public accounting firm for DIF for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008. At meetings held on February 9-10, 2009, the audit committee and the Board of DIF engaged KPMG to replace PwC as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund. During the Fund’s two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim periods prior to their replacement: (i) no report on the Fund’s financial statements contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles; and (ii) there were no “disagreements” (as such term is used in Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report. PwC has performed no auditing procedures subsequent to February 27, 2009 with respect to any financial statements of DIF.

     Ernst &Young LLP (“E&Y”), an independent registered public accounting firm, was the independent registered public accounting firm for DFI for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. At a meeting held on February 9, 2010, the audit committee and the Board of DFI engaged KPMG to replace E&Y as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund. During the Fund’s two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim period prior to their replacement: (i) no report on the Fund’s financial statements contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles; and (ii) there were no “disagreements” (as such term is used in Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with E&Y on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report. E&Y has performed no auditing procedures subsequent to February 25, 2010 with respect to any financial statements of DFI.

     Information regarding the audit and non-audit fees that the Funds were charged by their independent registered public accounting firms in the Funds’ last two fiscal years is set forth in Exhibit A to this proxy statement.

Investment Adviser, Distributor and Transfer Agent

     The investment adviser for each Fund is Dreyfus, 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166. Founded in 1947, Dreyfus manages approximately $268 billion in 192 mutual fund portfolios. Dreyfus is the primary mutual fund business of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), a global financial services company focused on helping clients move and manage their financial assets, operating in 36 countries and serving more than 100 markets. BNY Mellon is a leading provider of financial services for institutions, corporations and high-net-worth individuals, providing asset and wealth management, asset servicing, issuer services, and treasury services through a worldwide client-focused team. BNY Mellon has $26.3 trillion in assets under custody and administration and $1.3 trillion in assets under management, and it services more than $11.8 trillion in outstanding debt. Additional information is available at www.bnymellon.com.

     MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus with principal offices at 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166, serves as each Fund’s distributor.

     Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus with principal offices at 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166, serves as each Fund’s transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

Voting Information

     Each Fund will bear its pro rata share of the cost of soliciting proxies based on the net assets of the Fund. In addition to the use of the mails, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone, and Dreyfus may pay persons holding Fund shares in their names or those of their nominees for their expenses in sending soliciting materials to their principals. The Funds may retain proxy solicitors to assist in the solicitation of proxies primarily by contacting shareholders by telephone, which is expected to cost approximately $7,000, plus any out of pocket expenses, such cost to be borne pro rata among the Funds based on their net assets.

     Authorizations to execute proxies may be obtained by telephonic or electronically transmitted instructions in accordance with procedures designed to authenticate the shareholder’s identity. In all cases where a telephonic proxy is solicited (as opposed to where the shareholder calls the toll-free number directly to vote), the shareholder will be asked to provide or confirm certain identifiable information and to confirm that the shareholder has received the Fund’s proxy statement and proxy card in the mail. Within 72 hours of receiving a shareholder’s telephonic or electronically transmitted voting instructions, a confirmation will be sent to the shareholder to ensure that the vote has been taken in accordance with the shareholder’s instructions and to provide a telephone number to call immediately if the shareholder’s instructions are not correctly reflected in the confirmation. Shares represented by executed and unrevoked proxies will be voted in accordance with the specifications made thereon, and, if no voting instructions are given, shares will be voted “FOR” the proposal. Any shareholder giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by submitting to the Fund a written notice of revocation or a subsequently executed proxy, by calling the toll-free telephone number or through the Internet, or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

     If a proxy is properly executed and returned accompanied by instructions to withhold authority to vote or represents a broker “non-vote” (that is, a proxy from a broker or nominee indicating that such person has not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other person entitled to vote Fund shares and the broker or nominee does not have discretionary power to vote on the proposal) (together, “abstentions”), the Fund shares represented thereby will be considered to be present at the Meeting for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions will not constitute a vote in favor of the proposal.

     With respect to Dreyfus-sponsored individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Individual Retirement Custodial Account Agreement governing the IRAs requires The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), as the custodian of the IRAs, to vote Fund shares held in such IRAs in accordance with the IRA shareholder’s instructions. However, if no voting

5


 

instructions are received, BNYM may vote Fund shares held in the IRA in the same proportions as the Fund shares for which voting instructions are received from other Dreyfus IRA shareholders. Therefore, if an IRA shareholder does not provide voting instructions prior to the Meeting, BNYM will vote the IRA shares in the same proportions as it votes the shares for which properly conveyed instructions are timely received from other Dreyfus IRA shareholders.

     If a quorum is not present at the Meeting for a Fund, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting with respect to that Fund to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares affected by the adjournment that are represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy. With respect to D/LFI and DFI, 33-1/3% of the Fund’s shares entitled to vote constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. With respect to each of D/LFT and D/LT-F a majority of the Fund’s shares entitled to vote constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. With respect to DIF, 50% of the Fund’s shares entitled to vote constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting.

OTHER MATTERS

     No Fund’s Board is aware of any other matters which may come before the Meeting. However, should any such matters properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy to vote proxies in accordance with their judgment on such matters.

     Under the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), shareholder proposals meeting requirements contained in those rules may, under certain conditions, be included in the Funds’ proxy materials for a particular meeting of shareholders. One of these conditions relates to the timely receipt by a Fund of any such proposal. Since the Funds do not have regular annual meetings of shareholders, under these rules, proposals submitted for inclusion in the proxy materials for a particular meeting must be received by a Fund a reasonable time before the solicitation of proxies for the meeting is made. The fact that a Fund receives a shareholder proposal in a timely manner does not ensure its inclusion in proxy materials since there are other requirements in the proxy rules relating to such inclusion.

NOTICE TO BANKS, BROKER/DEALERS AND VOTING TRUSTEES
AND THEIR NOMINEES

     Please advise the appropriate Fund, in care of Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., P.O. Box 9263, Boston, Massachusetts 02205-8501, whether other persons are the beneficial owners of Fund shares for which proxies are being solicited from you, and, if so, the number of copies of this proxy statement and other soliciting material you wish to receive in order to supply copies to the beneficial owners of shares.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT PROXIES BE RETURNED PROMPTLY. THEREFORE, SHAREHOLDERS WHO DO NOT EXPECT TO ATTEND THE MEETING IN PERSON ARE URGED TO COMPLETE, SIGN, DATE AND RETURN, OR OTHERWISE PROVIDE VOTING INSTRUCTIONS WITH RESPECT TO, EACH PROXY CARD IN THE ENCLOSED STAMPED ENVELOPE.

EXHIBIT A

PART I

     Part I sets forth, as to each Fund, information regarding the Board’s oversight role in management, its composition and its leadership structure, as well as information regarding the current Board members and Nominees. Part I also sets forth information regarding the independent registered public accounting firm fees for the Funds as indicated.

Boards of the Funds

     Board’s Oversight Role in Management. Each Board’s role in management of the Funds is oversight. As is the case with virtually all investment companies (as distinguished from operating companies), service providers to the Funds, primarily Dreyfus (also referred to as the “Manager”) and its affiliates, have responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Funds, which includes responsibility for risk management (including management of investment performance and investment risk, valuation risk, issuer and counterparty credit risk, compliance risk and operational risk). As part of its oversight, each Board, acting at its scheduled meetings, or the Chairman, acting between Board meetings, regularly interacts with and receives reports from senior personnel of service providers, including the Manager’s Chief Investment Officer (or a senior representative of his office), the Funds’ and the Manager’s Chief Compliance Officer and portfolio management personnel. Each Board’s audit committee (which consists of all Board members) meets during its scheduled meetings, and between meetings the audit committee chair maintains contact, with the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm and the Funds’ Chief Financial Officer. Each Board also receives periodic presentations from senior personnel of the Manager or its affiliates regarding risk management generally, as well as periodic presentations regarding specific operational, compliance or investment areas, such as business continuity, anti-money laundering, personal trading, valuation, credit, investment research and securities lending. Each Board also receives reports from counsel to the Manager, counsel to the Funds and the Board’s own independent legal counsel regarding regulatory compliance and governance matters. Each Board has adopted policies and procedures designed to address certain risks to the Funds. In addition, the Manager and other service providers to each Fund have adopted a variety of policies, procedures and controls designed to address particular risks to the Fund. Different processes, procedures and controls are employed with respect to different types of risks. However, it is not possible to eliminate all of the risks applicable to the Funds, and the Boards’ risk management oversight is subject to inherent limitations.

     Board Composition and Leadership Structure. The 1940 Act requires that at least 40% of each Fund’s Board members be Independent Board members. To rely on certain exemptive rules under the 1940 Act, a majority of a Fund’s Board members must be Independent Board members, and for certain important matters, such as the approval of investment advisory agreements or transactions with affiliates, the 1940 Act or the rules thereunder require the approval of a majority of the Independent Board members. Currently, all of each Fund’s Board members, including the Chairman of the Board, are Independent Board members. Each Board has determined that its leadership structure, in which the Chairman of the Board is not affiliated with the Manager, is appropriate in light of the services that the Manager and its affiliates provide to the Fund and potential conflicts of interest that could arise from these relationships.

     Information About Each Board Member’s Experience, Qualifications, Attributes or Skills. Board members of each Fund (other than the Nominees, whose information is provided above), together with information as to their positions with the Funds, principal occupations and other board memberships for the past five years, are shown below.

     Each Board member, with the exception of Ms. Bovich, has been a Board member of Dreyfus mutual funds for over ten years. Additional information about each Board member follows (supplementing the information provided in the table above) that describes some of the specific experiences, qualifications, attributes or skills that each Board member possesses which the Board believes has prepared them to be effective Board members. Each Board believes that the significance of each Board member’s experience, qualifications, attributes or skills is an individual matter (meaning that experience that is important for one Board member may not have the same value for another) and that these factors are best evaluated at the Board level, with no single Board member, or particular factor, being indicative of Board effectiveness. However, each Board believes that Board members need to have the ability to critically review, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, and to interact effectively with the Funds’ management, service providers and counsel, in order to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties; the Board believes that its members satisfy this standard. Experience relevant to having this ability may be achieved

The charter for each Board’s nominating committee contains certain other factors considered by the committee in identifying and evaluating potential Board member nominees. To assist them in evaluating matters under federal and state law, the Board members are counseled by their own independent legal counsel, who participates in Board meetings and interacts with the Manager, and also may benefit from information provided by the Manager’s counsel and the Funds’ counsel; counsel to the Funds and to the Boards have significant experience advising funds and fund board members. Each Board and its committees have the ability to engage other experts as appropriate. Each Board evaluates its performance on an annual basis.

COMPENSATION TABLE

     Each of the Board members serves as a Director/Trustee of the Funds and Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund (DHF). Effective January 1, 2012, the Funds and DHF will pay each Board member their respective allocated portions of an annual retainer of $85,000 and a fee of $10,000 for each regularly scheduled Board meeting attended ($75,000 and $8,000, respectively, in the aggregate, prior to January 1, 2012). With respect to the annual retainer and Board meetings of the Funds and DHF, the Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such compensation (with the exception of reimbursable amounts). Each Board member receives $2,500 for any separate in-person committee meetings attended which are not held in conjunction with a regularly scheduled Board meeting, such amount to be allocated among the respective funds and DHF, as applicable. In the event that there is a joint telephone meeting of the Funds or a joint telephone meeting of the Funds and

DHF, a fee of $2,000 will be allocated among the applicable Funds and DHF, accordingly (prior to January 1, 2012, the fee to be allocated was $2,500 if the meeting included DHF). The chair of each of the Board’s committees, unless the chair also serves as Chairman of the Board, receives $1,500 per applicable committee meeting. Each emeritus Board member is entitled to receive an annual retainer of one-half the amount paid as a retainer at the time the Board member became emeritus and a per meeting attended fee of one-half the amount paid to Board members. The Funds also reimburse each Board member and emeritus Board member who is not an “interested person” of the Funds (as defined in the 1940 Act) for travel and out-of-pocket expenses.

     Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. Each Fund’s audit committee has established policies and procedures (the “Policy”) for pre-approval (within specified fee limits) of the independent registered public accounting firm’s engagements for non-audit services to the Fund and Service Affiliates without specific case-by-case consideration. The pre-approved services in the Policy can include pre-approved audit services, pre-approved audit-related services, pre-approved tax services and pre-approved all other services. Pre-approval considerations include whether the proposed services are compatible with maintaining the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. Pre-approvals pursuant to the Policy are considered annually.

     Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm’s Independence. Each Fund’s audit committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to Service Affiliates which did not require pre-approval are compatible with maintaining the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence.

EXHIBIT B

NOMINATING COMMITTEE CHARTER AND PROCEDURES

Organization

     The Nominating Committee (the “Committee”) of each fund in the Dreyfus Family of Funds (each, the “Fund”) shall be composed solely of Directors/Trustees (“Directors”) who are not “interested persons” of the Fund as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (“Independent Directors”). The Board of Directors of the Fund (the “Board”) shall select the members of the Committee and shall designate the Chairperson of the Committee.

Responsibilities

The Committee shall select and nominate persons for election or appointment by the Board as Directors of the Fund.

Evaluation of Potential Nominees

     The Board believes that Directors need to have the ability to critically review, evaluate, question and discuss information provided to them, and to interact effectively with Fund management, service providers and counsel, in order to exercise effective business judgment in the performance of their duties. In evaluating potential Director nominees (including any nominees recommended by shareholders as provided below) in light of this standard, and to address certain legal and other requirements and considerations associated with composition of the Board, the Committee shall consider, among other factors it may deem relevant:

  • the character and integrity of the person;

  • whether or not the person is qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a Director of the Fund;

  • whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her service on the Board;

  • whether nomination of the person would be consistent with Fund policy and applicable laws and regulations regard- ing the number and percentage of Independent Directors on the Board;

  • whether or not the person serves on boards of, or is otherwise affiliated with, competing financial service organiza- tions or their related fund complexes;

  • whether or not the person is willing to serve and is willing and able to commit the time necessary for the perfor- mance of the duties and responsibilities of a Director of the Fund; and

  • the educational background; business, professional training or practice (e.g., medicine, accounting or law), public service or academic positions; experience from service as a board member (including the Board) or as an executive of investment funds, public companies or significant private or not-for-profit entities or other organizations; and/or other life experiences.

     In addition, the Committee may consider whether a potential nominee’s professional experience, education, skills and other individual qualities and attributes, including gender, race or national origin, would provide beneficial diversity of skills, experience or perspective to the Board’s membership and collective attributes. Such considerations will vary based on the Board’s existing membership and other factors, such as the strength of a potential nominee’s overall qualifications relative to

B-1


 

diversity considerations.

     While the Committee is solely responsible for the selection and nomination of Directors, the Committee may consider nominees recommended by Fund shareholders. The Committee will consider recommendations for nominees from shareholders sent to the Secretary of the Fund, c/o The Dreyfus Corporation Legal Department, 200 Park Avenue, 8th Floor East, New York, New York 10166. A nomination submission must include all information relating to the recommended nominee that is required to be disclosed in solicitations or proxy statements for the election of Directors, as well as information sufficient to evaluate the factors listed above. Nomination submissions must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the Board and to serve if elected by the shareholders, and such additional information must be provided regarding the recommended nominee as reasonably requested by the Committee.

Nomination of Directors

     After a determination by the Committee that a person should be selected and nominated as a Director of the Fund, the Committee shall present its recommendation to the full Board for its consideration.

Review of Charter and Procedures

The Committee shall review the charter and procedures from time to time, as it considers appropriate.
