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-years examples are based on net operating expenses, which reflect the expense limitation by The Dreyfus Corporation.

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 invests in a diversified portfolio of high quality, short-term dollar-denominated 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 dollar-denominated foreign commercial paper and other short-term corporate obligations, including those with floating or variable rates of interest; and dollar-denominated 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 a bank deposit. An investment in the fund 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. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. Neither The Dreyfus Corporation nor its affiliates have a legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that The Dreyfus Corporation or its affiliates will provide financial support to the fund at any time. 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. 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.

·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.

·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 a security, can cause the security's price to fall. Although the fund invests only in high quality debt securities, 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.

·Regulatory risk. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted amendments to the rules governing money market funds that will change the way that the fund, and similar money market funds, operate. The amended rules permit, and in some cases will require, the fund to impose a "liquidity fee" of up to 2% of the amount redeemed or temporarily restrict shareholder redemptions from the fund. The liquidity fee or redemption restrictions could be applied (subject to board determination) when the fund's "weekly liquid assets"—including cash, certain U.S. government securities and securities maturing in five business days—fall below 30% of the fund's total assets. These changes are anticipated to take effect on October 14, 2016. The changes to the rules may affect fund investment strategies and the cost of operating the fund.

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

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

·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. A security backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the United States, is guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity.

·Repurchase agreement counterparty risk. The fund is subject to the risk that a counterparty in a repurchase agreement and/or for a tri-party repurchase agreement, the third party bank priority payment administration, collateral custody and management services for the transaction could fail to honor the terms of the agreement.
