Rankings and Ratings reflect past performance of the fund, which is no guarantee of future results. Share price and investment return fluctuate and an investor’s shares may be worth more or less than original cost upon redemption. Go to Dreyfus.com for the fund’s most recent month-end returns. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the fund carefully before investing. Call your advisor for a prospectus that contains this and other information about the fund, and read it carefully before investing. Part of the fund’s recent performance is attributable to positive returns from its initial public offering (IPO) investments. There can be no guarantee that IPOs will have or continue to have a positive effect on the fund’s performance. Equity securities 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. Midcap companies involve greater risks because their earnings and revenues tend to be less predictable than those of larger companies. Portfolio managers from TBCAM are dual employees of Dreyfus and TBCAM, and apply their firm’s proprietary investment process in managing the funds. *Source: Morningstar, Inc.
