A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO

Dear Shareholder:

We present to you this annual report for Dreyfus Worldwide Growth Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2010, through October 31, 2011. For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as general market perspectives, we provide a Discussion of Fund Performance on the pages that follow.

Investors were encouraged by expectations of a more robust economic recovery during the final months of 2010, but sentiment deteriorated in 2011 due to disappointing global economic data, rising commodity prices, an escalating sovereign debt crisis in Europe and a contentious debate regarding taxes, spending and borrowing in the United States. International stocks proved sensitive to these macroeconomic developments, often regardless of underlying company fundamentals, and most international equity market indices ended the reporting period with mildly negative absolute returns.

The global economic outlook currently remains clouded by market turbulence and political infighting, but we believe that a continued subpar global expansion is more likely than a return to recession. Although Europe continues to struggle with a debt crisis, inflationary pressures appear to be waning in most countries as energy prices recently have retreated from their highs. In Asia, China seems to have averted an economic contraction after implementing measures to dampen inflationary pressures. In the United States, moderately low core inflation and an accommodative monetary policy could help support near-trend growth despite ongoing deleveraging activity in the private sector.To assess the potential impact of these and other developments on your investments, we encourage you, as always, to speak with your financial advisor.

Thank you for your continued confidence and support.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

For the period of November 1, 2010, through October 31, 2011, as provided by Fayez Sarofim, Portfolio Manager of Fayez Sarofim & Co., Sub-Investment Adviser

Fund and Market Performance Overview

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2011, Dreyfus Worldwide Growth Fund’s Class A shares produced a total return of 8.72%, Class B shares returned 7.50%, Class C shares returned 7.93% and Class I shares returned 9.01%.¹For the same period, the fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index (“MSCI World Index”), produced a 1.76% total return.²

Global stocks generally rallied through the first quarter of 2011 amid expectations of continued economic recovery. However, several macroeconomic disappointments later derailed investor sentiment, erasing most of the market’s previous gains.The fund produced higher returns than its benchmark as investors favored large, multinational companies amid turbulent market conditions, particularly over the reporting period’s second half.

The Fund’s Investment Approach

The fund invests primarily in large, well-established, multinational companies that we believe are well positioned to weather difficult economic climates and thrive during favorable times. We focus on purchasing large-cap, blue-chip stocks at a price we consider to be justified by a company’s fundamentals. The result is a portfolio of stocks of prominent companies selected for their sustained patterns of profitability, strong balance sheets, expanding global presence and above-average earnings growth potential. The fund pursues a “buy-and-hold” investment strategy in which we typically buy and sell relatively few stocks during the course of the year, which may help to reduce investors’ tax liabilities and the fund’s trading costs.³

Shifting Sentiment Sparked Heightened Market Volatility

Gains in employment, consumer spending and corporate earnings supported a stock market rally over the first several months of the reporting period. However, the rally was interrupted in February


The Fund	3

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)

when political unrest in the Middle East led to sharply rising crude oil prices, and again in March when catastrophic natural and nuclear disasters in Japan disrupted the global industrial supply chain. Nonetheless, investors proved resilient, and stocks rebounded quickly from these unexpected shocks.

Investor sentiment began to deteriorate in earnest in late April when Greece appeared headed for default on its sovereign debt and pressures mounted on the banking systems of other European nations. In addition, U.S. economic data proved more disappointing than expected, and investors reacted cautiously to a contentious political debate regarding U.S. government spending and borrowing. Stocks suffered bouts of heightened volatility when newly risk-averse investors shifted their focus from economically sensitive industry groups and relatively speculative companies to those that historically have held up well under uncertain economic conditions.Volatility was particularly severe in August and September, after a major credit-rating agency downgraded its assessment of long-term U.S. government debt. In contrast, the market rebounded strongly in October when some macroeconomic worries seemed to ease.

Quality Bias Supported Fund Performance

Our longstanding focus on blue-chip companies with globally diversified markets, healthy balance sheets and strong income characteristics enabled the fund to perform better than market averages during the reporting period. Overweighted exposure to the energy sector proved to be a primary driver of the fund’s strong relative performance, as large integrated oil companies and major energy services providers benefited early in the reporting period from rising commodity prices. The fund also held substantially underweighted exposure to the financials sector, which helped it avoid weakness among banks that were adversely affected by Europe’s sovereign debt crisis. Finally, the consumer staples sector benefited from investors’ preference for traditionally defensive industry groups, and a number of globally dominant companies continued to make inroads into the emerging markets.

The fund’s top performing individual holdings included electronics innovator Apple, which continued to gain value due to the success of its smartphone and tablet computer products. Energy giant Chevron advanced after twice raising its dividend during the reporting period.

Technology leader International Business Machines continued to grow its global consulting business. British American Tobacco saw sales in Japan surge in the wake of that nation’s natural disasters. Semiconductor manufacturer Intel boosted earnings, raised its dividend and captured market share from its competitors.

Laggards during the reporting period included metals-and-mining companies Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold and RioTinto, which suffered amid falling industrial commodity prices. In the financials sector, European investment managers Eurazeo and GAM Holding were hurt by deteriorating investor sentiment towards financial companies due to the sovereign debt crisis.

New Opportunities in a Subpar Economic Recovery

We expect the global economic rebound to persist fitfully amid significant headwinds, especially in Europe, leading us to conclude that investors are likely to continue to favor large, multinational companies with solid business fundamentals and generous dividend yields. Indeed, corporate earnings in 2011 so far generally have remained robust despite the economic downturn.When adjusting to the changing market environment, we identified a number of new opportunities among multinational companies with healthy balance sheets, ample cash reserves and a presence in growing markets.

	Equity funds are subject generally to market, market sector, market liquidity, issuer and investment
	style risks, among other factors, to varying degrees, all of which are more fully described in the
	fund’s prospectus.
1	Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid, and does not take into
	consideration the maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A 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 and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption,
	fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.
2	SOURCE: LIPPER INC. — Reflects reinvestment of net dividends and, where applicable,
	capital gain distributions.The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index is an
	unmanaged index of global stock market performance, including the United States, Canada,
	Europe,Australia, New Zealand and the Far East. Investors cannot invest directly in any index.
3	Achieving tax efficiency is not a part of the fund’s investment objective, and there can be no
	guarantee that the fund will achieve any particular level of taxable distributions in future years. In
	periods when the manager has to sell significant amounts of securities (e.g., during periods of
	significant net redemptions or changes in index components) the fund can be expected to be less
	tax efficient than during periods of more stable market conditions and asset flows.

The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in each of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares of

Dreyfus Worldwide Growth Fund on 10/31/01 to a $10,000 investment made in the Morgan Stanley Capital

International World Index (the “Index”) on that date.All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested.

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 on all classes. Performance for Class B shares assumes the conversion of

Class B shares to Class A shares at the end of the sixth year following the date of purchase. The Index is an

unmanaged index of global stock market performance, including the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand

and the Far East and includes net dividends reinvested. Unlike a mutual fund, the Index is not subject to charges, fees

and other expenses. Investors cannot invest directly in any index. 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 Worldwide Growth Fund (the “fund”) is the sole series of Dreyfus Premier Worldwide Growth Fund, Inc. (the “Company”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company.The fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation consistent with the preservation of capital. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly owned subsidiary ofThe Bank of NewYork Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. Fayez Sarofim & Co. (“Sarofim & Co.”) serves as the fund’s sub-investment adviser.

MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, is the distributor of the fund’s shares.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 and Class I. Class A 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. The fund no longer offers Class B shares, except in connection with dividend reinvestment and permitted exchanges of Class B shares and, effective on or about March 13, 2012, all outstanding Class B shares will automatically covert to Class A shares. Class C shares are subject to a CDSC on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class I 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, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs 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.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions.Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company 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: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e. the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value.This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.


The Fund	21

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements.These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:

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 sales 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 investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value.All preceding securities are categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 ADRs and futures contracts. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Directors. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments 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.These securities are either categorized as Level 2 or 3 depending on the relevant inputs used.

For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange.These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2011 in valuing the fund’s investments:


		Level 2—Other	Level 3—
	Level 1—	Significant	Significant
	Unadjusted	Observable	Unobservable
	Quoted Prices	Inputs	Inputs	Total

The Fund	23

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common FairValue Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value mea-surements.The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.

(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 of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized on securities transactions between trade and settlement date 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 gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments resulting from changes in exchange rates. Foreign currency gains and losses on investments 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 gains and losses 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.

Investing in foreign markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the U.S. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls and delayed settlements, and their prices may be more volatile than those of comparable securities in the U.S.

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

The fund may invest in shares of certain affiliated investment companies also advised or managed by Dreyfus. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended October 31, 2011 were as follows:


Affiliated
Investment	Value				Value		Net
Company	10/31/2010	($)	Purchases ($)	Sales ($)	10/31/2011	($)	Assets (%)
Dreyfus
Institutional
Preferred
Plus Money
Market Fund	1,243,000		68,517,000	55,351,000	14,409,000		2.9

(e) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net and dividends from net realized capital gains 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 gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund


The Fund	25

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

not to distribute such gains. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

(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.

As of and during the period ended October 31, 2011, the fund did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions.The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four-year period ended October 31, 2011 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At October 31, 2011, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $4,449,204, undistributed capital gains $12,973,992 and unrealized appreciation $240,817,181.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010 were as follows: ordinary income $8,208,022 and $8,004,846 and long-term capital gains $9,430,557 and $8,904,779, respectively.

During the period ended October 31, 2011, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for foreign currency gains and losses, the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $11,435 and decreased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by the same amount. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:

The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $225 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended October 31, 2011, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.

NOTE 3—Management Fee, Sub-Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(b) Under the Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class B and Class C shares pay the Distributor for distributing their shares at an annual rate of .75% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. During the period


The Fund	27

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Class A, Class B and Class C 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 October 31, 2011, Class A, Class B and Class C shares were charged $998,580, $9,928 and $127,578, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.

The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the fund. During the period ended October 31, 2011, the fund was charged $297,016 pursuant to the transfer agency agreement, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations.

The fund has arrangements with the custodian and cash management bank whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset custody and cash management fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.

The fund compensates The Bank of New York Mellon under a cash management agreement for performing cash management services related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. During the period ended October 31, 2011, the fund was charged $44,184 pursuant to

the cash management agreement, which is included in Shareholder servicing costs in the Statement of Operations. These fees were partially offset by earnings credits of $1,806.

The fund also compensates The Bank of New York Mellon under a custody agreement for providing custodial services for the fund. During the period ended October 31, 2011, the fund was charged $56,050 pursuant to the custody agreement.

During the period ended October 31, 2011, the fund was charged $6,751 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE RENEWAL OF THE

FUND’S MANAGEMENT AND SUB-INVESTMENT

ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited)

At a meeting of the fund’s Board of Directors held on July 26, 2011, the Board considered the renewal of the fund’s Management Agreement pursuant to which Dreyfus provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services (the “Agreement”), and the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement (together, the “Agreements”), pursuant to which Fayez Sarofim & Co. (the “Sub-Adviser”) provides day-to-day management of the fund’s investments.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 and the Sub-Adviser. In considering the renewal of the Agreements, the Board considered all factors that it believed to be relevant, including those discussed below.The Board did not identify any one factor as dispositive, and each Board member may have attributed different weights to the factors considered.

Analysis of Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund.The Board members considered information previously provided to them in presentations from representatives of Dreyfus regarding the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and representatives of Dreyfus confirmed that there had been no material changes in this information. Dreyfus provided the number of open accounts in the fund, the fund’s asset size and the allocation of fund assets among distribution channels. Dreyfus also had previously provided information regarding the diverse intermediary relationships and distribution channels of funds in the Dreyfus fund complex and Dreyfus’ corresponding need for broad, deep, and diverse resources to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each distribution channel, including the distribution channel(s) for the fund.

The Board members also considered research support available to, and portfolio management capabilities of, the fund’s portfolio management personnel and that Dreyfus also provides 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’ extensive administrative, accounting, and compliance infrastructures, as well as Dreyfus’ supervisory activities over the Sub-Adviser. The Board also considered portfolio management’s brokerage policies and practices (including policies and practices regarding soft dollars) and the standards applied in seeking best execution.

Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Performance and Management Fee and Expense Ratio.The Board members reviewed reports prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data, which included information comparing (1) the fund’s performance with the performance of a group of comparable funds (the “Performance Group”) and with a broader group of funds (the “Performance Universe”), all for various periods ended June 30, 2011, and (2) the fund’s actual and contractual management fees and total expenses with those of a group of comparable funds (the “Expense Group”) and with a broader group of funds (the “Expense Universe”), the information for which was derived in part from fund financial statements available to Lipper as of June 30, 2011. Dreyfus previously had furnished the Board with a description of the methodology Lipper used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe and the Expense Group and Expense Universe.

Dreyfus representatives stated that the usefulness of performance comparisons may be affected by a number of factors, including different investment limitations that may be applicable to the fund and comparison funds.The Board members discussed the results of the comparisons and noted that the fund’s total return performance was above the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians. The Board members also noted that the fund ranked in the first quartile of the Performance Group and Performance Universe in most of the periods. Dreyfus also provided a comparison of the fund’s calendar year total returns to the returns of the fund’s benchmark index.

AND SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

The Board members also reviewed the range of actual and contractual management fees and total expenses of the Expense Group and Expense Universe funds and discussed the results of the comparisons.They noted that the fund’s contractual management fee was below the Expense Group median and the fund’s actual management fee and total expenses were below the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians.

Representatives of Dreyfus reviewed with the Board members the management or investment advisory fees (1) paid by funds advised or administered by Dreyfus that are in the same Lipper category as the fund and (2) paid to Dreyfus or the Sub-Adviser or its affiliates for advising any separate accounts and/or other types of client portfolios that are considered to have similar investment strategies and policies as the fund (the “Similar Clients”), and explained the nature of the Similar Clients.They discussed differences in fees paid and the relationship of the fees paid in light of any differences in the services provided and other relevant factors.The Board members considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Clients to evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of the fund’s management fee.

The Board considered the fee to the Sub-Adviser in relation to the fee paid to Dreyfus by the fund and the respective services provided by the Sub-Adviser and Dreyfus.The Board also noted the Sub-Adviser’s fee is paid by Dreyfus (out of its fee from the fund) and not the fund.

Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. Dreyfus’ representatives reviewed the expenses allocated and profit received by Dreyfus and the resulting profitability percentage for managing the fund, and the method used to determine the expenses and profit. The Board concluded that the profitability results were not unreasonable, given the services rendered and service levels provided by Dreyfus.The Board previously had been provided with information prepared by an independent consulting firm regarding Dreyfus’ approach to allocating costs to, and determining the profitability of, individual funds and the entire Dreyfus fund complex. The consulting firm also had analyzed where any economies of scale might emerge in connection with the management of a fund.

The Board’s counsel stated that the Board members should consider the profitability analysis (1) as part of their evaluation of whether the fees under the Agreements bear a reasonable relationship to the mix of services provided by Dreyfus and the Sub-Adviser, including the nature, extent and quality of such services, and (2) 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 shareholders. Since Dreyfus, and not the fund, pays the Sub-Adviser pursuant to the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board did not consider the Sub-Adviser’s profitability to be relevant to its deliberations. Dreyfus representatives noted that, as a result of shared and allocated costs among funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, the extent of economies of scale could depend substantially on the level of assets in the complex as a whole, so that increases and decreases in complex-wide assets can affect potential economies of scale in a manner that is disproportionate to, or even in the opposite direction from, changes in the fund’s asset level.The Board members also considered potential benefits to Dreyfus and the Sub-Adviser from acting as investment adviser and sub-investment adviser, respectively, and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect for trading the fund’s investments.

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 the renewal of the Agreements. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board concluded and determined as follows.

The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Dreyfus and the Sub-Adviser are adequate and appropriate.
The Board was satisfied with the fund’s performance.
The Board concluded that the fees paid to Dreyfus and the Sub- Adviser were reasonable in light of the considerations described above.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE RENEWAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT

AND SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)

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 in connection with the fee rate charged to the fund pursuant to the Agreements 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. In addition, it should be noted that the Board’s consideration of the contractual fee arrangements for this fund had the benefit of a number of years of reviews of prior or similar agreements during which lengthy discussions took place between the Board members and Dreyfus representatives. Certain aspects of the arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than in others, and the Board members’ conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of the same or similar arrangements in prior years. The Board members determined that renewal of the Agreements was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.
