Principal Investment Strategy
As a money market fund, the fund is subject to maturity, liquidity, quality and
diversification requirements designed to help it maintain a stable share price
of $1.00.

To pursue its goal, the fund invests in a diversified portfolio of high-quality,
dollar-denominated short-term debt securities, including securities issued or
guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government or its agencies
or instrumentalities, certificates of deposit, time deposits, bankers'
acceptances and other short-term securities issued by domestic or foreign banks
or thrifts or their subsidiaries or branches, repurchase agreements, including
tri-party repurchase agreements, asset-backed securities, domestic and foreign
commercial paper and other short-term corporate obligations, and obligations
issued or guaranteed by one or more foreign governments or any of their
political subdivisions or agencies.

Normally, the fund invests at least 25% of its net assets in domestic or
dollar-denominated foreign bank obligations.
Principal Risks
An investment in the fund 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:
  
o 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.

o 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, potentially lowering the
fund's share price. The credit quality of the securities held by the fund can
change rapidly in certain market environments, and the default of a single
holding could have the potential to cause significant deterioration of the
fund's net asset value.

o 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 at or
near their perceived value. In such a market, the value of such securities may
fall dramatically, potentially lowering the fund's share price, even during
periods of declining interest rates. Also, during such periods, redemptions by a
few large investors in the fund may have a significant adverse effect on the
fund's net asset value and remaining fund shareholders.

o Banking industry risk. The risks generally associated with concentrating
investments in the banking industry, such as interest rate risk, credit risk,
and regulatory developments relating to the banking industry.

o Foreign investment risk. The risks generally associated with
dollar-denominated foreign investments, such as economic and political
developments, seizure or nationalization of deposits, imposition of taxes or
other restrictions on payment of principal and interest.

o Government securities risk. Not all obligations of the U.S. government, its
agencies and instrumentalities are backed by the full faith and credit of the
U.S. Treasury. Some obligations are backed only by the credit of the issuing
agency or instrumentality, and in some cases there may be some risk of default
by the issuer. Any guarantee by the U.S. government or its agencies or
instrumentalities of a security held by the fund does not apply to the market
value of such security or to shares of the fund itself.

o Repurchase agreement counterparty risk. The risk that a counterparty in a
repurchase agreement could fail to honor the terms of its agreement.
