Emerging Markets Fund 

A LETTER FROM THE CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Premier Emerging Markets Fund, covering the 12-month period from June 1, 2006, through May 31, 2007.

Conditions in the global economy have remained relatively robust, even as U.S. economic growth has moderated. While we expect the global expansion to continue, it probably will do so at a somewhat reduced pace as softer U.S. consumer and business spending reduces demand for imports and some high-flying emerging markets, notably China, take steps to reduce unsustainably high growth rates. These factors may compel global investors to proceed with a sense of greater caution.

The U.S. dollar, however, has continued to decline relative to most other currencies, making investments denominated in foreign currencies more valuable for U.S. residents.We expect this trend to persist, as a stubborn U.S. trade deficit and stronger economic growth in some overseas markets continue to attract global capital away from U.S. markets and toward those with higher potential returns. These factors, combined with a weakening U.S. dollar, could lead to new opportunities and challenges in international equity markets. As always, your financial advisor can help you position your investments for these developments.

For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as market perspectives, we have provided a Discussion of Fund Performance given by the fund’s Portfolio Manager.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period of June 1, 2006, through May 31, 2007, as provided by D. Kirk Henry, Senior Portfolio Manager

Market and Fund Performance Overview

The emerging markets continued to advance during the reporting period, benefiting from an expanding global economy and robust demand for natural resources. In addition, low global interest rates, benign inflation in many regions, rising disposable incomes and prudent economic reforms have enabled many developing markets to become greater contributors to the global economy. Although the fund participated in the market’s gains to a significant degree, its returns fell short of the benchmark’s, due mainly to disappointing security selections in the technology sector and reduced exposure to commodities stocks that no longer met our value-oriented criteria.

For the period from June 1, 2006, through May 31, 2007, the fund produced total returns of 32.36% for its Class A shares, 31.36% for Class B shares, 31.43% for Class C shares, 32.78% for Class I shares and 31.83% for Class T shares.1 This compares with a 38.59% total return provided by the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index (MSCI EM Index), the fund’s benchmark, for the same period.2

Effective 6/1/07, Class R shares were renamed Class I shares.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund seeks long-term capital growth. In seeking to do so, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the stocks of companies organized, or with a majority of assets or business, in countries generally represented in the MSCI EM Index. Normally, the fund will not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any single emerging market country.We identify potential investments through quantitative and fundamental research, using a value-oriented approach that emphasizes individual stock selection over economic and industry trends. We assess how a stock is valued relative to its intrinsic worth, the company’s efficiency and profitability, and the presence of a catalyst that could trigger an increase in the stock’s price in the near- or intermediate term.

The Fund 3


DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

Emerging Markets Continued to Advance in Expanding Global and Domestic Economies

As they have for some time, the world’s emerging equity markets continued to post highly competitive returns during the reporting period, with gains fueled by strong demand for exports and increased domestic consumption by a growing middle class. Gains were particularly robust among commodities producers as a number of former third-world countries continued to build their industrial infrastructures. While the fund benefited from these trends, we began to reduce its exposure to basic materials producers as their valuations reached richer levels. However, materials stocks continued to gain value, and the fund’s underweighted position prevented it from participating more fully in their gains.

Instead, we have been increasing the fund’s exposure to companies that we believe are poised to benefit from greater domestic consumption. For example, the fund received strong contributions from its South Africa holdings. Retailer Edgars Consolidated Stores was acquired by another company, and paper and forest products firm Sappi rebounded when its manufacturing costs moderated along with oil and gas prices. The fund also benefited from its position in Sasol, a synthetic fuel producer, as we increased the fund’s exposure to the company when oil prices rose during the reporting period, and we decreased exposure when oil prices retreated.

Malaysia’s stock market rallied after the country adopted the “Ninth Malaysian Plan,” a comprehensive expansion of government investment in various infrastructure projects and public works. Notable winners included Gamuda, a construction firm, and Sime Darby, the country’s oldest and largest conglomerate, which secured a major project for its engineering subsidiary.The fund’s exposure to the banking industry in the Philippines produced some of the emerging markets’ better returns as declining interest rates led to higher levels of lending activity. In addition, utility Manila Electric advanced during the reporting period on the heels of long-awaited governmental reforms.

4


On the other hand, the fund received disappointing results from the technology sector, where a number of semiconductor holdings suffered due to pricing pressures in an oversupplied market. In India, the fund’s limited exposure to software companies, which we deemed too expensive, and emphasis on state-owned refiners Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum detracted from relative performance. Exporters in South Korea, such as Hyundai Motor, Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics, were hurt by the declining value of the U.S. dollar. Finally, the fund’s limited participation in a number of IPOs in China’s banking industry held back its relative performance.

Smaller-Cap Stocks Gaining Favor with Global Investors

As of the end of the reporting period, we believe that we have seen a marginal reversal in leadership in the emerging markets, in which small-and midcap stocks have become more attractive to investors. Investors apparently have become more comfortable investing in smaller, more speculative stocks, as a growing number of companies have demonstrated their ability to generate gains over an extended period of time. The emerging markets also have benefited from increased mergers-and-acquisitions activity, a trend we believe is likely to continue. Our investment strategy recently has led us to companies with strong balance sheets and strong cash flows, qualities frequently sought in takeover candidates.

1    Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid and does not take into 
    consideration the maximum initial sales charges in the case of Class A and Class T shares, or the 
    applicable contingent deferred sales charges imposed on redemptions in the case of Class B and 
    Class C shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Past performance 
    is no guarantee of future results. Share price, yield and investment return fluctuate such that upon 
    redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Past performance is not predictive of future performance. 
The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in Class A shares of Dreyfus Premier Emerging Markets Fund 
on 5/31/97 to a $10,000 investment made in the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index 
(the “Index”) on that date. All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested. Performance for Class B, Class C, 
Class I and Class T shares will vary from the performance of Class A shares shown above due to differences in charges 
and expenses. 
The fund’s performance shown in the line graph above takes into account the maximum initial sales charge on Class A 
shares and all other applicable fees and expenses.The Index is a market capitalization-weighted index composed of 
companies representative of the market structure of 26 emerging market countries in Europe, Latin America and the 
Pacific Basin.The Index excludes closed markets and those shares in otherwise free markets that are not purchasable by 
foreigners.The Index includes gross dividends reinvested and does not take into account charges, fees and other expenses. 
These factors can contribute to the Index potentially outperforming the fund. Further information relating to fund 
performance, including expense reimbursements, if applicable, is contained in the Financial Highlights section of the 
prospectus and elsewhere in this report.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Premier Emerging Markets Fund (the “fund”) is a separate non-diversified series of Dreyfus International Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company and operates as a series company that offers one series, the fund.The fund’s investment objective is long-term capital growth. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”) serves as the fund’s investment adviser. During the reporting period, the Manager was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation (“Mellon Financial”).

On July 1, 2007, Mellon Financial and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. merged, forming The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. As part of this transaction, Dreyfus became a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.

Dreyfus Service Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares. Effective June 30, 2007, the Distributor will be known as MBSC Securities Corporation.The fund is authorized to issue 100 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class T. Class A and Class T shares are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class B shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) imposed on Class B share redemptions made within six years of purchase and automatically convert to Class A shares after six years. Effective June

1, 2006, the fund no longer offers Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class R shares are sold at net asset value per share only to institutional investors. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

26


The fund’s Board of Directors approved the redesignation of the fund’s Class R shares as Class I shares, effective June 1, 2007.The description of the eligibility requirements for Class I shares remains the same as it was for Class R shares.

The Company accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series’ operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown.The fund does not anticipate recognizing any loss related to these arrangements.

(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available, are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sale price. Securities not listed on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices, except for open short positions, where the asked price is used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered open-end investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value.When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset

The Fund 27


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Directors. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADR’s and futures contracts. For other securities that are fair valued by the Board of Directors, certain factors may be considered such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. Financial futures are valued at the last sales price. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Forward currency exchange contracts are valued at the forward rate.

On September 20, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

(b) Foreign currency transactions: The fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange

28


gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Such gains and losses are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

(c) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.

The fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby the fund receives earnings credits from the custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits, if any, as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Manager are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.

(e) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and dividends from net realized capital gain, if any, are normally declared and paid annually, but the fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).To the extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by capital loss carryovers, if any, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gain. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(f) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

The Fund 29


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

On July 13, 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management does not believe that the application of this standard will have a material impact on the financial statements of the fund.

At May 31, 2007, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $53,874,112, undistributed capital gains $127,254,471 and unrealized appreciation $409,154,861.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended May 31, 2007 and May 31, 2006, were as follows: ordinary income $66,930,653 and $38,088,139 and long-term capital gains $276,954,739 and $133,449,233, respectively.

During the period ended May 31, 2007, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for passive foreign investment companies, foreign currency gains and losses and Indian capital gain taxes, the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $1,851,352 and decreased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by the same amount. Net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

NOTE 2—Bank Line of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $350 million redemption credit facility (the “Facility”) to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions.

30


In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the Facility. Interest is charged to the fund at rates based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowing. During the period ended May 31, 2007, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions With 
Affiliates: 

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of 1.25% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly.

During the period ended May 31, 2007, the Distributor retained $5,127 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $7,671 and $72 from CDSC on redemptions of the fund’s Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

(b) Under a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class B, Class C and Class T shares pay the Distributor for distributing their shares at the annual rates of .75% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares and .25% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class T shares. During the period ended May 31, 2007, Class B, Class C and Class T shares were charged $30,117, $60,301 and $205, respectively, pursuant to the Plan.

(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class T shares pay the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of their average daily net assets for the provision of certain services.The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts.The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (a securities dealer, financial institution or other industry professional) in respect of these services.The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended May 31, 2007, Class A, Class B, Class C and Class T shares

The Fund 31


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

were charged $2,997,768, $10,039, $20,100 and $205, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the fund. During the period ended May 31, 2007, the fund was charged $203,338 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement.

During the period ended May 31, 2007, the fund was charged $4,089 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.

The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $1,593,541, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $8,253, shareholder services plan fees $245,569, chief compliance officer fees $3,748 and transfer agency per account fees $33,980.

(d) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

(e) Pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC, the fund may invest its available cash balances in affiliated money market mutual funds. Management fees of the underlying money market mutual funds have been waived by the Manager.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:

The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities and forward currency exchange contracts, during the period ended May 31, 2007, amounted to $676,686,193 and $956,914,360, respectively.

The fund enters into forward currency exchange contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings and to settle foreign currency transactions. When executing forward currency exchange contracts, the fund is obligated to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specified rate on a certain date in the future.With respect to sales of forward currency exchange con-

32


tracts, the fund would incur a loss if the value of the contract increases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed.The fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract decreases between those dates.With respect to purchases of forward currency exchange contracts, the fund would incur a loss if the value of the contract decreases between the date the forward contract is opened and the date the forward contract is closed.The fund realizes a gain if the value of the contract increases between those dates. The fund is also exposed to credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance on these forward currency exchange contracts which is typically limited to the unrealized gain on each open contract. The following summarizes open forward currency exchange contracts at May 31, 2007:

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REVIEW AND APPROVAL 
OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) 

At a meeting of the fund’s Board held on March 7 and 8, 2007, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement with Dreyfus for a one-year term ending March 30, 2008. The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of Dreyfus. In approving the continuance of the Management Agreement, the Board considered all factors that they believed to be relevant, including, among other things, the factors discussed below.

Analysis of Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund. The Board members received a presentation from representatives of Dreyfus regarding services provided to the fund and other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and discussed the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the fund pursuant to its Management Agreement. Dreyfus’s representatives reviewed the fund’s distribution of accounts and the relationships Dreyfus has with various intermediaries and the different needs of each. Dreyfus’s representatives noted the various distribution channels for the fund as well as the diverse methods of distribution among other funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and Dreyfus’s corresponding need for broad, deep, and diverse resources to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each distribution channel, including those of the fund. Dreyfus also provided the number of accounts investing in the fund, as well as the fund’s asset size.

The Board members also considered Dreyfus’s research and portfolio management capabilities and Dreyfus’s oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements.The Board members also considered Dreyfus’s extensive administrative, accounting and compliance infrastructure.

Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Performance and Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board members reviewed the fund’s performance, management fee and expense ratio, placing significant emphasis on comparative data supplied by Lipper, Inc., an independent provider

36


of mutual fund data, including contractual and actual (net of fee waivers and expense reimbursements) management fees, operating expense components and total return performance.The fund’s performance was compared to that of a Performance Universe, consisting of all funds with the same Lipper classification/objective, and a Performance Group, consisting of comparable funds chosen by Lipper based on guidelines previously approved by the Board. Similarly, the fund’s contractual and actual management fee and operating expenses were compared to those of an Expense Universe, consisting of funds with the same or similar Lipper classification/objective, and an Expense Group, consisting comparable funds chosen by Lipper based on guidelines previously approved by the Board.As part of its review of expenses, the Board also considered other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, custody fees, 12b-1 or non-12b-1 service fees (if any), and other non-management fees, as well as any waivers or reimbursements of fees and expenses.

In its review of performance, the Board noted, among other things, that the fund’s average annual total return ranked in the fifth quintile of its Performance Group and its Performance Universe for the one-and two year periods ended December 31, 2006.The Board also noted that the fund’s absolute returns were strong, but relative performance was hurt by the fund’s lower risk profile during a period in which higher risk securities outperformed.

In its review of the fund’s management fee and operating expenses, the Board examined the range of management fees and expense ratios of the funds in the Expense Group and Expense Universe, noting, among other things, that the fund’s actual management fee ranked in the fourth quintile of its Expense Group and Expense Universe and the total expenses ranked in the second quartile in the Expense Group and Expense Universe (the first quintile represents those funds with the lowest expenses).

Representatives of Dreyfus reviewed with the Board members the fees paid to Dreyfus or its affiliates by mutual funds and/or separate accounts managed by Dreyfus with similar investment objectives, policies and

FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued) 

strategies as the fund (the “Similar Accounts”), and explained the nature of the Similar Accounts and the differences, from Dreyfus’s perspective, as applicable, in providing services to the Similar Accounts as compared to the fund. Dreyfus’s representatives also reviewed the costs associated with distribution through intermediaries. The Board analyzed differences in fees paid to Dreyfus and discussed the relationship of the advisory fees paid in light of Dreyfus’s performance, and the services provided.The Board members considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Accounts managed by Dreyfus to evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of the fund’s management fees.The Board acknowledged that differences in fees paid by the Similar Accounts seemed to be consistent with the services provided.

Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. Dreyfus’s representatives reviewed the dollar amount of expenses allocated and profit received by Dreyfus and the method used to determine such expenses and profit. The Board members evaluated the profitability analysis in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund investors. The Board members also considered potential benefits to Dreyfus from acting as investment adviser and noted the soft dollar arrangements with respect to trading the fund’s investments.

It was noted that the Board members should consider Dreyfus’s profitability with respect to the fund as part of their evaluation of whether the fees under the Management Agreement bear a reasonable relationship to the mix of services provided by Dreyfus, including the nature, extent and quality of such services and that a discussion of economies of scale is predicated on a fund having achieved a substantial size with increasing assets and that, if a fund’s assets had been relatively static, the possibility that Dreyfus may have realized any economies of scale would be less. It also was noted that the profitability percentage for managing the fund was within ranges determined by appropriate court cases to be reasonable given the services rendered and generally

38


superior service levels provided.The Board also noted the fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements in place for the fund and its effect on Dreyfus’s profitability.

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board made the following conclusions and determinations.

  • The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the ser- vices provided by Dreyfus are adequate and appropriate.
  • The Board was generally satisfied with the fund’s performance in light of the portfolio’s risk profile.
  • The Board concluded that the fee paid by the fund to Dreyfus was reasonable in light of the services provided, comparative performance, expense and advisory fee information, costs of the services provided and profits to be realized and benefits derived or to be derived by Dreyfus from its relationship with the fund.
  • The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to Dreyfus and its affiliates in connection with the management of the fund had been adequately considered by Dreyfus in connection with the management fee rate charged to the fund and that, to the extent in the future it were determined that material economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund.

The Board members considered these conclusions and determinations, along with information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year, and, without any one factor being dispositive, the Board determined that continuation of the fund’s Management Agreement was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.

     This code of ethics (the "Code") for the investment companies within the complex (each, a "Fund") applies to each Fund's Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer or Controller, or other persons performing similar functions, each of whom is listed on Exhibit A (the "Covered Officers"), for the purpose of promoting:

  • honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
  • full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Fund files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and in other public communications made by the Fund;
  • compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;
  • the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and
  • accountability for adherence to the Code.

     Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

2. Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

     Overview. A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Officer's private interest interferes with the interests of, or his service to, the Fund. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position with the Fund.

     Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Advisers Act"). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Fund because of their status as "affiliated persons" of the Fund. The compliance programs and procedures of the Fund and the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser") are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. The Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and the circumstances they cover fall outside of the parameters of the Code.

     Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Fund and the Adviser of


which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees. As a result, the Code recognizes that the Covered Officers, in the ordinary course of their duties (whether formally for the Fund or for the Adviser, or for both), will be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the Adviser and the Fund. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Fund and the Adviser and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Fund and, if addressed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Fund's Board that the Covered Officers also may be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes of ethics.

     Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. Covered Officers should keep in mind that the Code cannot enumerate every possible scenario. The overarching principle of the Code is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Fund.

  Each Covered Officer must:
  • not use his personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Fund whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund;
  • not cause the Fund to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the Fund; and
  • not retaliate against any employee or Covered Officer for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith.

3. Disclosure and Compliance

  • Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Fund within his area of responsibility;
  • each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Fund to others, whether within or outside the Fund, including to the Fund's Board members and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations;
  • each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Fund and the Adviser with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Fund files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Fund; and
  • it is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

4. Reporting and Accountability
Each Covered Officer must:
  • upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter, as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Board that he has received, read, and understands the Code;
  • annually thereafter affirm to the Board that he has complied with the requirements of the Code; and
  • notify the Adviser's General Counsel (the "General Counsel") promptly if he knows of any violation of the Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of the Code.

     The General Counsel is responsible for applying the Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret the Code in any particular situation. However, waivers sought by any Covered Officer will be considered by the Fund's Board.

The Fund will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing the Code:

  • the General Counsel will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to him;
  • if, after such investigation, the General Counsel believes that no violation has occurred, the General Counsel is not required to take any further action;
  • any matter that the General Counsel believes is a violation will be reported to the Board;
  • if the Board concurs that a violation has occurred, it will consider appropriate action, which may include: review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the Adviser or its board; or dismissal of the Covered Officer;
  • the Board will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate; and
  • any waivers of or amendments to the Code, to the extent required, will be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.
5. Other Policies and Procedures

     The Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Fund for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. The Fund's, its principal underwriter's and the Adviser's codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and the Adviser's additional policies and procedures, including its Code of Conduct, are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of the Code.

6. Amendments

     The Code may not be amended except in written form, which is specifically approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Fund's Board, including a majority of independent Board members.

7. Confidentiality

     All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to the Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or the Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the appropriate Funds and their counsel, the appropriate Boards (or Committees) and their counsel and the Adviser.

8. Internal Use

     The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Fund and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of the Fund, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
