The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.  The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.  The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the fund's operating expenses remain the same.  The one-year example and the first year of the three-, five- and ten-year examples are based on net operating expenses, which reflect the expense limitation by The Dreyfus Corporation.  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
