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 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. 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 waiver/reimbursement by The Dreyfus Corporation. Although your actual
costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Example Dreyfus Brazil Equity Fund (USD $)	Expense Example, with Redemption, 1 Year	Expense Example, with Redemption, 3 Years	Expense Example, with Redemption, 5 Years	Expense Example, with Redemption, 10 Years
Class A	766	1,207	1,674	2,957
Class C	378	904	1,555	3,300
Class I	178	605	1,059	2,317

You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:

Expense Example, No Redemption Dreyfus Brazil Equity Fund (USD $)	Expense Example, No Redemption, 1 Year	Expense Example, No Redemption, 3 Years	Expense Example, No Redemption, 5 Years	Expense Example, No Redemption, 10 Years
Class A	766	1,207	1,674	2,957
Class C	278	904	1,555	3,300
Class I	178	605	1,059	2,317

Portfolio Turnover

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected
in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's
performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio
turnover rate was 38.60% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy

To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets,
plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of companies:
(i) that have their registered office in Brazil; (ii) whose principal trading
market is in Brazil; or (iii) that have a majority of their assets, or that
derive a significant portion of their revenue or profits from businesses,
investments or sales, in Brazil. The fund may invest in the stocks of companies
of any size, although it focuses on large and mid-cap companies (generally, with
market capitalizations of $2 billion or more at the time of purchase). The
fund's sub-investment adviser seeks investment opportunities in companies with
sustainable earnings, attractive valuations and high dividend yields that
indicate the potential for strong sustainable capital growth. The sub-adviser
constructs the fund's portfolio through a combination of quantitative and
fundamental bottom-up research, and an understanding of local/regional
macroeconomic trends. In selecting securities, the fund's portfolio managers use
a three-step investment process consisting of: (1) quantitative analysis, (2)
fundamental analysis and (3) portfolio construction.

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. It is not a complete investment program. The fund's share price fluctuates,
sometimes dramatically, which means you could lose money.

o Risks of concentrating investments in Brazil. The fund's performance will be
influenced by political, social and economic factors affecting Brazil. Special
risks include exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed
or efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information,
political instability and differing accounting and legal standards. Because the
fund's investments are concentrated in Brazil, the fund's performance could be
more volatile than that of more geographically diversified funds.

As an emerging market, the Brazilian market tends to be more volatile than the
markets of more mature economies, and generally has a less diverse and less
mature economic structure and a less stable political system than those of
developed countries. Certain political, economic, legal and currency risks have
contributed to a high level of price volatility in the Brazilian equity and
currency markets and could adversely affect investments in the fund. Brazil has
historically experienced high rates of inflation and may continue to do so.
Inflationary pressures may slow the rate of growth of the Brazilian economy and
may lead to further government intervention in the economy, which could
adversely affect the fund's investments. Brazil continues to suffer from chronic
structural public sector deficits. Unanticipated political or social
developments may result in increased volatility in the fund's share price and
sudden and significant investment losses.

o Emerging market risk. The securities of issuers located in emerging markets
tend to be more volatile and less liquid than securities of issuers located in
more mature economies, and emerging markets generally have less diverse and less
mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of
developed countries. The securities of issuers located or doing substantial
business in emerging markets are often subject to rapid and large changes in
price.

o Foreign currency risk. Investments in foreign currencies are subject to the
risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or,
in the case of hedged positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline relative to
the currency being hedged. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly
over short periods of time. Foreign currencies are also subject to risks caused
by inflation, interest rates, budget deficits and low savings rates, political
factors and government intervention and controls.
  
o Risks of stock investing. Stocks generally fluctuate more in value than bonds
and may decline significantly over short time periods. There is the chance that
stock prices overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles,
with periods of rising prices and falling prices. The market value of a stock
may decline due to general weakness in the stock market or because of factors
that affect the company or its particular industry.

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 and
the fund's share price may fall dramatically. Investments in foreign securities,
particularly those of issuers located in emerging markets, may have greater
exposure to liquidity risk than domestic securities.

o 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.

Performance

The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of
investing in the fund. The table compares the average annual total returns
of the fund's shares to those of a broad measure of market performance. The
fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an
indication of how the fund will perform in the future. More recent performance
information may be available at www.dreyfus.com.

The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the fund's Class A shares
from year to year. Sales charges, if any, are not reflected in the bar chart,
and if those charges were included, returns would have been less than those
shown.

Year-by-Year Total Returns as of 12/31 each year (%) -- Class A

Best Quarter
Q3, 2010: 19.19%
Worst Quarter
Q3, 2011: -25.57%

The year-to-date total return of the fund's Class A shares
as of 9/30/12 was 3.06%.

After-tax performance is shown only for Class A shares. After-tax performance
of the fund's other share classes will vary. After-tax returns are calculated
using the historical highest individual federal marginal tax rates, and do not
reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend
on the investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown, and the
after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their shares
through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement
accounts.

[1] The Dreyfus Corporation has contractually agreed, until January 1, 2014, to assume the direct expenses of the fund so that the total annual fund operating expenses of none of the classes (excluding Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees, shareholder services plan fees, taxes, interest expense, brokerage commissions, commitment fees on borrowings and extraordinary expenses) exceed 1.75%. On or after January 1, 2014, The Dreyfus Corporation may terminate this expense waiver at any time.
