LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholder:

This annual report for Dreyfus Institutional Treasury Securities Cash Advantage Fund covers the
12-month period ended April 30, 2019. During the reporting period, the fund produced the following yields and effective yields:¹


	Yield	Effective Yield
Institutional Shares	1.99%	2.01%
Hamilton Shares	1.95%	1.97%
Premier Shares	1.70%	1.71%

Yields of money market instruments climbed during the reporting period in response to sustained economic growth, more stimulative fiscal policies, and three increases in short-term interest rates from the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”).

Federal Reserve Pauses Interest-Rate Hikes, Economy Remains Robust

The reporting period began in the midst of positive investor sentiment, as investors and monetary policymakers looked forward to stronger economic growth stemming in part from tax reform enacted in December 2017 and from business-friendly policies of the Trump administration. In May 2018, the expanding U.S. economy led to the creation of 270,000 new jobs, and the unemployment rate slid to 3.8%.

In June, gross domestic product (GDP) for the first quarter of 2018 came in at 2.2%, and the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.0%, while 262,000 new jobs were added. On June 14, the Fed raised short-term interest rates for the second time in 2018, sending the federal funds rate to between 1.75% and 2.00%. The Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, the “core” Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, which excludes food and energy prices, slipped to 1.7%, below the Fed’s 2.0% target.

The economy generated 178,000 new jobs in July, and the unemployment rate declined to 3.9%. In August, 282,000 jobs were added, while the unemployment rate slipped to 3.8%. Housing starts were disappointing, while the core PCE Price Index slipped from 1.8% in July to 1.7%.

In September, the labor market produced 108,000 new jobs, and the unemployment rate fell to 3.7%. Data released during the month showed that the U.S. economy expanded at a 4.2% annualized rate in the second quarter of 2018. The Fed continued on its path of monetary tightening, raising the federal funds target rate for a third time in 2018, bringing it to between 2.00% and 2.25%. The core PCE Price Index remained unchanged at 1.7%.

The unemployment rate edged up to 3.8% in October, and 277,000 jobs were created. Industrial production improved only slightly, as utility-related output was hindered by Hurricane Michael. Housing starts improved, but single-family units declined for the second straight month.

In November, the unemployment rate slipped to 3.7%, and 196,000 jobs were created. The core PCE Price Index came in at 1.9%, just below the Fed’s 2.0% target. In December, the Fed again raised short-term interest rates, bringing the federal funds target rate to 2.25%-2.50%. Unemployment ticked up to 3.9%, while job creation remained strong, with new positions numbering 227,000. GDP data released during the month showed that third-quarter economic growth amounted to 3.4%.

In January, the unemployment rate rose to 4.0%, and the economy generated 312,000 new jobs, while the core PCE Price Index fell to 1.8% from 2.0% in December. In addition, the Fed indicated that it would pause its interest-rate hike plans, making future hikes more data-dependent.

In February, unemployment fell to 3.8%, and job creation fell to just 56,000. The unemployment rate remained unchanged in March, while new jobs rebounded to 153,000, and the PCE Price Index fell further to 1.6%. GDP for the fourth quarter of 2018 came in at 2.2%, according to the third estimate, while GDP for the year rose 2.9%. April experienced a further drop in unemployment to 3.6%, while job creation improved to an estimated 224,000. The initial estimate for first-quarter 2019 gross domestic product showed that the economy grew at a rate of 3.2%.

Rate Hikes on Pause

During the reporting period, the Fed shifted its hawkish stance on monetary policy, indicating that additional short-term interest-rate hikes in 2019 will be data-dependent. Core inflation during the period generally remained below the Fed’s target rate of 2.0%.

In this interest-rate environment, we have maintained the fund’s weighted average maturity in a range that is modestly shorter than industry averages. This strategy is intended to capture higher yields as they become available. As always, we have retained our longstanding focus on quality and liquidity.

¹Effective yield is based upon dividends declared daily and reinvested monthly. Yields fluctuate. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

You could lose money by investing in a money market fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.

Sincerely,

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES(Unaudited)

As a mutual fund investor, you pay ongoing expenses, such as management fees and other expenses. Using the information below, you can estimate how these expenses affect your investment and compare them with the expenses of other funds. You also may pay one-time transaction expenses, including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, which are not shown in this section and would have resulted in higher total expenses. For more information, see your fund’s prospectus or talk to your financial adviser.

Review your fund’s expenses

The table below shows the expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in Dreyfus Institutional Treasury Securities Cash Advantage Fund from November 1, 2018 to April 30, 2019. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns and expenses.


Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment
assuming actual returns for the six months ended April 30, 2019
	Institutional Shares		Hamilton Shares		Premier Shares
Expenses paid per $1,000^†		$.80		$1.00		$2.24
Ending value (after expenses)		$1,011.00		$1,010.80		$1,009.60

COMPARING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES
WITH THOSE OF OTHER FUNDS(Unaudited)

Using the SEC’s method to compare expenses

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has established guidelines to help investors assess fund expenses. Per these guidelines, the table below shows your fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment, assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total cost) of investing in the fund with those of other funds. All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison. Please note that you cannot use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period.


Expenses and Value of a $1,000 Investment
assuming a hypothetical 5% annualized return for the six months ended April 30, 2019
	Institutional Shares		Hamilton Shares		Premier Shares
Expenses paid per $1,000		$.80		$1.00		$2.26
Ending value (after expenses)		$1,024.00		$1,023.80		$1,022.56

^† Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of .16% for Institutional shares, .20% for Hamilton shares and .45% for Premier shares, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Institutional Treasury Securities Cash Advantage Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of Dreyfus Institutional Reserves Funds (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 currently offering three series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser.

Effective June 3, 2019, The Dreyfus Corporation, the fund’s investment adviser and administrator, changed its name to “BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc.”, MBSC Securities Corporation, the fund’s distributor, changed its name to “BNY Mellon Securities Corporation” and Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., the fund’s transfer agent, changed its name to “BNY Mellon Transfer, Inc.”

BNY Mellon Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge. The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of $.001 par value shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Institutional shares, Hamilton shares and Premier shares. Hamilton shares and Premier shares are subject to a Service Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. 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.

The fund operates as a “government money market fund” as that term is defined in Rule 2a-7 under the Act. It is the fund’s policy to maintain a constant net asset value (“NAV”) per share of $1.00 and the fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so. There is no assurance, however, that the fund will be able to maintain a constant NAV per share of $1.00.

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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 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 Companyenters 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 amortized cost in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate market value, the fair value of the portfolio securities will be determined by procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Company’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”).

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.

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.).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(continued)

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. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2019in valuing the fund’s investments:


Valuation Inputs	Short-Term Investments ($)^†
Level 1 - Unadjusted Quoted Prices	-
Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs	604,808,093
Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs	-
Total	604,808,093

^†See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.

At April 30, 2019, there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. It is the fund’s policy to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.

(b) Securities transactions and investment income:Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is earned from settlement date and is recognized on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.

(c) Dividends and distributions to shareholders:It is the policy of the fund to declare dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly. Dividends from net realized capital gains, 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 gains can be offset by capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gains.

(d) 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 and

net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.

As of and during the period ended April 30, 2019, 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 ended April 30, 2019, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each tax year in the four-year period ended April 30, 2019 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At April 30, 2019, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.

The fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. Furthermore, capital loss carryovers retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses.

The accumulated capital loss carryover is available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future netrealized capital gains, if any, realized subsequent to April 30, 2019. The fund has $173,251 of short-term capital losses which can be carried forward for an unlimited period.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended April 30, 2019 and April 30, 2018 were as follows: ordinary income $12,237,119 and $9,610,687 and long-term capital gains $0 and $22,657, respectively.

At April 30, 2019, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the Statement of Investments).

(e) New Accounting Pronouncements: In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization On Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”). The update shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(continued)

effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these changes to future financial statements.

NOTE 2—Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a)Pursuant to a management agreement with the Adviser, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .16% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. Out of its fee, the Adviser pays all of the expenses of the fund except management fees, Rule 12b-1 Service Plan fees, brokerage fees, taxes, fees and expenses of non-interested Trustees (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, The Adviser is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Trustees (including counsel fees). During the period ended April 30, 2019, fees reimbursed by the Adviser amounted to $44,627.

(b) Under the fund’s Service Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, with respect to the fund’s applicable Hamilton shares and Premier shares, the fund pays the Distributor for distributing such classes of shares, for servicing and/or maintaining shareholder accounts and for advertising and marketing. The Service Plan provides for payments to be made at annual rates of .04% and .29% of the value of such class’ average daily net assets of the Hamilton and Premier shares, respectively. The fees payable under the Service Plan are payable without regard to actual expenses incurred. During the period ended April 30, 2019, Hamilton shares and Premier shares were charged $733 and $642,361, respectively, pursuant to the Service Plan.

The components of “Due to BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $80,191 and Service Plan fees $44,743, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $4,500.

(c) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of Dreyfus Institutional Treasury Securities Cash Advantage Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Dreyfus Institutional Treasury Securities Cash Advantage Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Dreyfus Institutional Reserves Funds), including the statement of investments, as of April 30, 2019, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, for the period from January 1, 2016 to April 30, 2016 and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2015 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the funds constituting Dreyfus Institutional Reserves Funds) at April 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, for the period from January 1, 2016 to April 30, 2016 and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in the BNY Mellon Family of Funds since at least 1957, but we are unable to determine the specific year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:

Dreyfus Institutional Treasury and Agency Cash Advantage Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of Dreyfus Institutional Reserves Funds (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 currently offering three series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. (the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser.

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 following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2019in valuing the fund’s investments:


Valuation Inputs	Short-Term Investments ($)^†
Level 1 - Unadjusted Quoted Prices	-
Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs	689,859,750
Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs	-
Total	689,859,750

^†See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.

At April 30, 2019, there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. It is the fund’s policy to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period.

The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions, deemed to be creditworthy by the Adviser, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase and the fund’s agreement to resell such securities at a mutually agreed upon price. Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, such securities must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the terms of the repurchase price plus accrued interest at all times. If the value of the underlying securities falls below the value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, the fund will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the fund maintains its right to sell the underlying securities at market value and may claim any resulting loss against the seller. The collateral is held on behalf of the fund by the tri-party administrator with

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(continued)

respect to any tri-party agreement. The fund may also jointly enter into one or more repurchase agreements with other funds managed by the Adviser in accordance with an exemptive order granted by the SEC pursuant to section 17(d) and Rule 17d-1 under the Act. Any joint repurchase agreements must be collateralized fully by U.S. Government securities.

Each tax year in the four-year period ended April 30, 2019 and the tax year ended December 31, 2015 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

At April 30, 2019, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were substantially the same as for financial reporting purposes.

The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended April 30, 2019 and April 30, 2018 were as follows: ordinary income $12,182,365 and $29,074,709, and long-term capital gains $18,027 and $0, respectively.

At April 30, 2019, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes (see the Statement of Investments).

(e) New Accounting Pronouncements: In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-08, Receivables—

Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization On Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”). The update shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.

Also in August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The update provides guidance that modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of these changes to future financial statements.

NOTE 2—Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

(a)Pursuant to a management agreement with the Adviser, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .14% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. Out of its fee, The Adviser pays all of the expenses of the fund except management fees, Rule 12b-1 Service Plan fees, brokerage fees, taxes, fees and expenses of non-interested Trustees (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, the Adviser is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Trustees (including counsel fees). During the period ended April 30, 2019, fees reimbursed by the Adviser amounted to $51,999.

(b) Under the fund’s Service Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, with respect to the fund’s applicable Hamilton shares and Premier shares, the fund pays the Distributor for distributing such classes of shares, for servicing and/or maintaining shareholder accounts and for advertising and marketing. The Service Plan provides for payments to be made at annual rates of .05% and .30% of the value of such class’ average daily net assets of the Hamilton and Premier shares, respectively. The fees payable under the Service Plan are payable without regard to actual expenses incurred. During the period ended April 30, 2019, Hamilton shares and Premier shares were charged $34,817 and $796,421, respectively, pursuant to the Service Plan.

The components of “Due to BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $68,673 and Service Plan fees $66,217, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $4,500.
