Example

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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Principal Investment Strategy

To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its assets in short-term, high quality municipal obligations that provide income exempt from federal income taxes. The fund also may invest in high quality, short-term structured notes, which are derivative instruments whose value is tied to underlying municipal obligations. In addition, the fund may invest temporarily in high quality, taxable money market instruments, including when the portfolio manager believes that acceptable municipal obligations are unavailable for investment.

   


0264SP0620

 

 

Although the fund is permitted to invest up to 20% of its assets in municipal obligations that provide income that may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax, the fund currently is managed so that income paid by the fund will not be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

The fund is a money market fund subject to the maturity, quality, liquidity and diversification requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, although the net asset value of the fund's shares will "float," meaning the net asset value will fluctuate with changes in the values of the fund's portfolio securities.

Principal Risks

An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit.  It is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency.  You could lose money by investing in the fund.  Because the share price of the fund will fluctuate, when you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you originally paid for them.  The fund's yield will fluctuate as the short-term securities in its portfolio mature or are sold and the proceeds are reinvested in securities with different interest rates.  The fund may impose a fee upon the sale of shares (a "liquidity fee") or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares (a redemption "gate") if the fund's liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors.  Neither BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. nor its affiliates have a legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. or its affiliates will provide financial support to the fund at any time.  The following are the principal risks that could reduce the fund's income level and/or share price:

· Interest rate risk. This risk refers to the decline in the prices of fixed-income securities that may accompany a rise in the overall level of interest rates. A sharp and unexpected rise in interest rates could cause the fund's share price to decline. A low interest rate environment may prevent the fund from providing a positive yield or paying fund expenses out of fund assets and could lead to a decline in the fund's share price.

· Liquidity risk. When there is little or no active trading market for specific types of securities, it can become more difficult to sell the securities in a timely manner at or near their perceived value. In such a market, the value of such securities may fall dramatically, potentially leading to a decline in the fund's share price.

· Credit risk. Failure of an issuer of a security to make timely interest or principal payments when due, or a decline or perception of a decline in the credit quality of the security, can cause the security's price to fall. Although the fund invests only in high quality debt securities, the credit quality of the securities held by the fund can change rapidly in certain market environments, and the default or a significant price decline of a single holding could have the potential to cause significant deterioration of the fund's net asset value.

· Floating net asset value risk. The fund does not maintain a stable net asset value per share. The net asset value of the fund's shares will be calculated to four decimal places and will "float," meaning the net asset value will fluctuate with changes in the values of the fund's portfolio securities. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

· Liquidity fee and/or redemption gate risk. The fund may impose a fee upon the sale of your shares (a "liquidity fee") or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares (a redemption "gate") if the fund's liquidity falls below required minimums because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, redemptions by a few large investors, or other reasons. If a liquidity fee is imposed by the fund, it would reduce the amount you will receive upon the redemption of your shares. A "gate" will suspend your ability to redeem your shares while the gate is imposed and may prevent the fund from being able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period stated in this prospectus.

· Municipal securities risk. Municipal securities may be fully or partially backed or enhanced by the taxing authority of a local government, by the current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets, or by the credit of, or liquidity enhancement provided by, a private issuer. Special factors, such as legislative changes, and state and local economic and business developments, may adversely affect the yield and/or value of the fund's investments in municipal securities.

· Structured notes risk. Structured notes, a type of derivative instrument, can be volatile, and the possibility of default by the financial institution or counterparty may be greater for these instruments than for other types of money market instruments. Structured notes typically are purchased in privately negotiated transactions from financial institutions and, thus, an active trading market for such instruments may not exist.

· Tax risk. To be tax-exempt, municipal obligations generally must meet certain regulatory requirements. If any such municipal obligation fails to meet these regulatory requirements, the interest received by the fund from its investment in such obligations and distributed to fund shareholders will be taxable.

· Market risk. The value of the securities in which the fund invests may be affected by political, regulatory, economic and social developments.  Events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the fund and its investments.

Portfolio Management

The fund is managed by Dreyfus Cash Investment Strategies, a division of BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc., the fund's investment adviser.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares

The fund is designed for institutional investors. In general, the fund's minimum initial investment is $10,000,000, with no minimum subsequent investment, unless: (a) the investor has invested at least $10,000,000 in the aggregate among the fund and any of the Dreyfus Institutional Liquidity Funds, Cash Advantage Funds, Cash Management Funds or Institutional Preferred Funds; or (b) the investor has, in the opinion of BNY Mellon Institutional Services, adequate intent and availability of assets to reach a future aggregate level of investment of $10,000,000 in such funds. Certain types of accounts are eligible for lower minimum investments. You may sell (redeem) your shares on any business day by telephone or compatible computer facility.

Tax Information

The fund anticipates that dividends paid by the fund generally will be exempt from federal income tax. However, the fund may realize and distribute taxable income and capital gains from time to time as a result of the fund's normal investment activities.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of fund shares and related services. To the extent that the intermediary may receive lesser or no payments in connection with the sale of other investments, the payments from the fund and its related companies may create a potential conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your financial representative to recommend the fund over the other investments. This potential conflict of interest may be addressed by policies, procedures or practices adopted by the financial intermediary. As there may be many different policies, procedures or practices adopted by different intermediaries to address the manner in which compensation is earned through the sale of investments or the provision of related services, the compensation rates and other payment arrangements that may apply to a financial intermediary and its representatives may vary by intermediary. Ask your financial representative or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information. 

This prospectus does not constitute an offer or solicitation in any state or jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, such offering or solicitation may not lawfully be made.
