Principal Investment Strategy

As a money market fund, the fund is subject to the maturity, quality, liquidity and diversification requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which are designed to help money market funds maintain a stable share price of $1.00. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests substantially all of its net assets in short-term, high quality municipal obligations that provide income exempt from federal, New York state and New York city income taxes. The fund also seeks to provide income exempt from the federal alternative minimum tax. The fund also may invest in high quality short-term structured notes, which are derivative instruments whose value is tied to underlying municipal obligations.


Although the fund seeks to provide income exempt from federal, New York state and New York city income taxes, the fund may invest temporarily in high quality, taxable money market instruments and/or municipal obligations that pay income exempt only from federal income tax, including when the portfolio manager believes acceptable New York state or New York city municipal obligations are not available for investment. During such periods, the fund may not reach its investment objective.

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. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.


The fund's yield will fluctuate as the short-term securities in its portfolio mature and the proceeds are reinvested in securities with different interest rates. Additionally, while the fund has maintained a constant share price since inception, and will continue to try to do so, neither The Dreyfus Corporation nor its affiliates are required to make a capital infusion, enter into a capital support agreement or take other actions to prevent the fund's share price from falling below $1.00. 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 a money market fund's share price to drop below a dollar. A low interest rate environment may prevent the fund from providing a positive yield or paying fund expenses out of fund assets and could impair the fund's ability to maintain a stable net asset value.


· Credit risk. Failure of an issuer to make timely interest or principal payments, or a decline or perception of a decline in the credit quality of a security, can cause the security's price to fall. Although the fund invests only in high quality debt securities, any of the fund's holdings could have its credit rating downgraded or could default. The credit quality and prices 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 impair the fund's ability to maintain a stable net asset value.


· 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 impairing the fund's ability to maintain a stable net asset value, even during periods of declining interest rates. Also, during such periods, redemptions by a few large investors in the fund may impair the fund's ability to maintain a stable net asset value and remaining fund shareholders.


· Regulatory risk. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted amendments to the rules governing money market funds that may change the way that the fund, and similar money market funds, operate. Under the amended rules, as of October 14, 2016, the share price of money market funds that will be designated as "institutional prime" or "institutional municipal" type money funds would fluctuate and, as a result, shares of those funds when sold may be worth more or less than their original purchase price. In addition, as of October 14, 2016, all prime and all municipal money market funds become subject to a regime of liquidity fees imposed upon the sale of their shares or the temporary suspension of redemptions, in each case triggered (and subject to board determination) by the percentage of a fund's Weekly Liquid Assets falling below certain minimums as defined in amended Rule 2a-7. The amendments impose additional regulatory and reporting requirements on all money market funds, which generally are expected to be implemented by the funds by April 14, 2016. As a result of the amendments, additional expenses may be incurred by the fund.


· State-specific risk. The fund is subject to the risk that New York's economy, and the revenues underlying its municipal obligations, may decline. Investing primarily in a single state makes the fund more sensitive to risks specific to the state and may magnify other risks.


· 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.


· 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.


· Non-diversification risk. The fund is non-diversified, which means that the fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers. Therefore, the fund's performance may be more vulnerable to changes in the market value of a single issuer or group of issuers and more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a diversified fund.
