A LETTER FROM THE CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Premier Core Value Fund, covering the 12-month period from January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2006.
2006 proved to be a good year for the financial markets.Virtually all sectors and capitalization ranges of the U.S. equity markets generated strong returns, especially over the second half of the year.A number of positive factors contributed to the markets’ gains in 2006, including an expanding domestic economy, subdued inflation, stabilizing interest rates, rising productivity and robust corporate profits.
In our analysis, 2006 provided an excellent reminder of the need for a long-term investment perspective. Adopting too short a time frame proved costly for some investors last year, as chasing recent winners often meant buying the next month’s losers. Indeed, history shows that reacting to near-term developments with extreme shifts in strategy rarely is the right decision.We believe that a better course of action is to set a portfolio mix to meet future goals, while attempting to ignore short term market fluctuations in favor of a longer-term view.
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.We wish you good health and prosperity in 2007.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Brian Ferguson, Portfolio Manager
How did Dreyfus Premier Core Value Fund perform relative to its benchmark?
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2006, Dreyfus Premier Core Value Fund produced total returns of 21.00% for its Class A shares, 20.12% for its Class B shares, 20.07% for its Class C shares, 21.26% for its Class R shares, 20.67% for its Class T shares and 21.11% for its Institutional shares.1 In comparison, the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, produced a total return of 22.25% for the same period.2 The fund’s previous benchmark, the S&P 500/Citigroup Value Index, achieved a total return of 20.80% for the same period.3
Stock prices generally rose in 2006, primarily due to strong corporate earnings in a growing U.S. economy.The fund’s returns were slightly lower than the Russell 1000 Value Index as a result of attractive results from the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. Furthermore, the fund’s returns were in line with the S&P 500/Citigroup Value Index primarily due to strong performance in information technology and industrials sectors.
What is the fund’s investment approach?
The fund invests primarily in large-cap companies that are considered undervalued based on traditional measures, such as price-to-earnings ratios. When choosing stocks, we use a “bottom-up” stock selection approach, focusing on individual companies, rather than a “top-down” approach that forecasts market trends. We also focus on a company’s relative value, financial strength, sales and earnings momentum and likely catalysts that could ignite the stock price.
What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?
The U.S. stock market ended 2006 with double-digit gains, as investors remained hopeful regarding the strength of corporate earnings despite mixed economic signals, such as volatile energy prices and cooling hous-

|
ing markets.The market rallied particularly strongly over the second half of the year, when an uneventful hurricane season and warm weather in many parts of the United States contributed to a decline in energy prices, giving relief to inflation worries. In addition, after more than two years of steady rate hikes, the Federal Reserve Board refrained from raising short-term interest rates over the second half of the year. In this environment, stock prices rose as U.S. companies continued to report healthy earnings and mergers-and-acquisitions activity increased.
A successful stock selection strategy in the consumer discretionary sector contributed significantly to the fund’s relative performance during the reporting period, with particularly strong results coming from media giants News Corp., which was sold during the reporting period, and Walt Disney. News Corp. prospered amid better results from Fox News, anticipation of a spin-off of its Sky Italia unit and the acquisition of MySpace.com.Walt Disney rose in the wake of successful cost control measures, improved profit margins from its theme parks and stronger results from its television and film businesses. Conversely, the fund held no shares of Viacom, where results fell short of expectations. Finally, the fund benefited from its relatively light holdings of homebuilders, which saw their financial results deteriorate in a slowing housing market.
The fund’s investments in the information technology sector also fared relatively well. Broadband equipment maker Cisco Systems gained value due to a general increase in broadband usage and expectations of greater corporate demand for its products. Computer and printer maker Hewlett Packard, helmed by new management, gained market share in a variety of product areas, and consulting firm Accenture benefited from higher levels of outsourcing and corporate spending.
On the other hand, some disappointments detracted from the fund’s relative performance. In the financials sector, the fund did not participate as fully as the benchmark in strong returns from real estate investment trusts, and our emphasis on lagging insurance companies detracted from performance. For example, Genworth Financial was pressured by concerns regarding its long-term care and mortgage insurance businesses, as well as its former parent’s move to divest its remaining stake in the com-

pany. In the health care sector, the fund’s results were hurt by relatively light exposure to drug developer Merck & Co., which was sold during the reporting period, and which rose as legal concerns diminished and research & development prospects improved. Shares of medical products maker Boston Scientific, which were eventually sold during the reporting period, declined due to merger integration issues and concerns regarding low reimbursement policies by Medicare and other insurers.
What is the fund’s current strategy?
We have continued to rely on our bottom-up stock selection process, as we believe it to be an effective method of identifying attractively valued stocks under a variety of market conditions.We have continued to find attractive values in traditionally defensive areas, including the consumer staples sector and the homebuilding and retail industries within the consumer discretionary sector. Information technology stocks remain attractive to us, largely due to the ongoing boom in Internet demand.While in the past we have found attractive opportunities in the energy area, we recently reduced our emphasis on the sector due to the possible effects of recent warmer weather and shifting supply-and-demand influences on commodity prices.

| | 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 |

FUND PERFORMANCE

† Source: Lipper Inc. |
Past performance is not predictive of future performance. |
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 fund performance. |
The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in Class A shares, Institutional shares and Class R shares of |
Dreyfus Premier Core Value Fund on 12/31/96 to a $10,000 investment made in the Russell 1000 Value Index (the |
“Russell Index”) and the Standard & Poor’s 500/Citigroup Value Index (the “S&P 500/Citigroup Value Index”) on |
that date. All dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested. Performance for Class B, Class C and Class T |
shares will vary from the performance of Class A, Institutional and Class R shares shown above due to differences in |
charges and expenses. |
In December 2005, Standard & Poor’s 500 replaced the S&P/BARRA Value Index with the S&P/Citigroup Value |
Index. In October 2006, the fund’s benchmark was changed from the S&P 500/Citigroup Value Index to the |
Russell 1000 Value Index because the Russell 1000 Value Index is expected to more accurately reflect the fund’s |
investment approach. |
The fund’s performance shown in the line graph takes into account the maximum initial sales charge on Class A shares |
and all other applicable fees and expenses for Class A shares, Institutional shares and Class R shares.The Russell 1000 |
Value Index is an unmanaged index, which measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with lower price- |
to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.The S&P/Citigroup Value Index is a market capitalization weighted |
index representing the value stocks in the S&P 500 Index. All of the stocks in the S&P 500 Index are allocated into |
value or growth sub-indexes. Stocks that do not have pure value or growth characteristics have their market capitalizations |
distributed between the value and growth indexes.The S&P 500 Index is a widely accepted, unmanaged index of U.S. |
stock market performance. Both indices are unmanaged, do not incur fees and other expenses, and cannot be invested in |
directly. 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 Core Value Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds Trust (the “Trust”) 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 offering six series, including the fund, as of the date of this report. The fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth.The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”) serves as the fund’s investment manager. The Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation (“Mellon Financial”).
On December 4, 2006, Mellon Financial and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement to merge. The new company will be called The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. As part of this transaction, Dreyfus would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals and the approval of The Bank of New York Company, Inc.’s and Mellon Financial’s shareholders, as well as other customary conditions to closing. Subject to such approvals and the satisfaction of the other conditions, Mellon Financial and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. expect the transaction to be completed in the third quarter of 2007.
Dreyfus Service Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares.The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R, Class T and Institutional shares. Class A, Class B, Class C and Class T shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear a distribution fee and/or service fee. Class A and Class T shares are subject to a front-end sales charge, while Class B and Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares after six years. Class R shares are sold primarily to bank trust departments
24
and other financial service providers (including Mellon Financial and its affiliates) acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no distribution or service fees. Class R and Institutional shares are offered without a front-end sales charge or CDSC. Institutional shares are offered only to those customers of certain financial planners and investment advisers who held shares of a predecessor class of the fund as of April 4, 1994, and bear a distribution fee. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to the distribution and service fees and voting rights on matters affecting a single class. 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.
Effective March 1, 2006, Class A shares of the fund may be purchased at net asset value (“NAV”) without payment of a sales charge:
- By qualified investors who (i) purchase Class A shares directly through the Distributor, and (ii) have, or whose spouse or minor children have, beneficially owned shares and continuously maintained an open account directly through the Distributor in a Dreyfus-managed fund, including the fund, or a Founders Asset Management LLC
(“Founders”) managed fund since on or before February 28, 2006. Founders is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Distributor. - With the cash proceeds from an investor’s exercise of employment- related stock options, whether invested in the fund directly or indi- rectly through an exchange from a Dreyfus-managed money market fund, provided that the proceeds are processed through an entity that has entered into an agreement with the Distributor specifically relat- ing to processing stock options. Upon establishing the account in the fund or the Dreyfus-managed money market fund, the investor and the investor’s spouse and minor children become eligible to purchase Class A shares of the fund at NAV, whether or not using the proceeds of the employment-related stock options.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
- By members of qualified affinity groups who purchase Class A shares directly through the Distributor, provided that the qualified affinity group has entered into an affinity agreement with the Distributor.
Effective March 1, 2006, Class A and Class T shares of the fund may be purchased at NAV without payment of a sales charge:
- For Dreyfus-sponsored IRA “Rollover Accounts” with the distribu- tion proceeds from qualified and non-qualified retirement plans or a Dreyfus-sponsored 403(b)(7) plan, provided that, in the case of a qualified or non-qualified retirement plan, the rollover is processed through an entity that has entered into an agreement with the Distributor specifically relating to processing rollovers. Upon estab- lishing the Dreyfus-sponsored IRA rollover account in the fund, the shareholder becomes eligible to make subsequent purchases of Class A or Class T shares of the fund at NAV in such account.
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.
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.
(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. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered open-ended investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their NAV. When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accu-
26
rately 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 NAV, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. 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 Trustees, 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. 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) 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.
| NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
|
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with Mellon Bank, N.A., an affiliate of the Manager, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s policy, that at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. It is the fund’s policy that collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Cash collateral is invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager. The fund is entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner.
(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Manager are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.
(d) 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 from 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 amount 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 in securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Such gains and losses are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
(e) Dividends to shareholders: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net are declared
28
and paid on a quarterly basis. 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.
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 December 31, 2006, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $2,577,146, undistributed capital gains $6,848,897 and unrealized appreciation $126,542,740.
| NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
|
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were as follows: ordinary income $20,615,240 and $7,988,829 and long-term capital gains $91,322,666 and $3,726,851, respectively.
During the period ended December 31, 2006, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for real estate investment trusts, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $26,323 and increased 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. 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 based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowing.
The average daily amount of borrowings outstanding under the Facility during the period ended December 31, 2006, was $152,600 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 5.55% .
NOTE 3—Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions With Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an Investment Management agreement with the Manager, the Manager provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates to provide investment advisory, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund.The Manager also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually obligated to pay the Manager a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of .90% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Out of its fee, the Manager pays all of
30
the expenses of the fund except brokerage fees, taxes, interest, commitment fees, Rule 12b-1 distribution fees and expenses, service fees and expenses of non-interested Trustees (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, the Manager 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). Each Trustee receives $45,000 per year, plus $6,000 for each joint Board meeting of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc.,The Dreyfus/Laurel Tax-Free Municipal Funds and the Trust (collectively, the “Dreyfus/Laurel Funds”) attended, $2,000 for separate in-person committee meetings attended which are not held in conjunction with a regularly scheduled Board meeting and $1,500 for Board meetings and separate committee meetings attended that are conducted by telephone and is reimbursed for travel and out-of-pocket expenses. With respect to Board meetings, the Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such compensation (with the exception of reimbursable amounts). With respect to compensation committee meetings, the Chair of the compensation committee receives $900 per meeting and, with respect to audit committee meetings, the Chair of the audit committee receives $1,350 per meeting. In the event that there is an in-person joint committee meeting or a joint telephone meeting of the Dreyfus/Laurel Funds and Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund, the $2,000 or $1,500 fee, as applicable, will be allocated between the Dreyfus/Laurel Funds and Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund. These fees and expenses are charged and allocated to each series based on net assets. Amounts required to be paid by the Trust directly to the non-interested Trustees, that would be applied to offset a portion of the management fee payable to the Manager, are in fact paid directly by the Manager to the non-interested Trustees.
During the period ended December 31, 2006, the Distributor retained $20,016 and $598 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A and Class T shares, respectively, and $139,670 and $4,023 from CDSC on redemptions on the fund’s Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
| NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
|
(b) Under separate Distribution Plans (the “Plans”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class A shares and Institutional shares may pay annually up to .25% and ..15%, respectively, of the value of their average daily net assets to compensate the Distributor for shareholder servicing activities and expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A shares and Institutional shares. Class B, Class C and Class T shares pay the Distributor for distributing their shares at an aggregate annual rate of .75% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares, and .25% of the value of average daily net assets of Class T shares.The Distributor may pay one or more agents in respect of advertising, marketing and other distribution services for Class T shares and determines the amounts, if any, to be paid to agents and the basis on which such payments are made. Class B, Class C and Class T shares are also subject to a service plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Service Plan”), under which Class B, Class C and Class T shares pay the Distributor for providing certain services to the holders of their shares a fee at the annual rate of .25% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B, Class C and Class T shares, respectively. During the period ended December 31, 2006, Class A, Class B, Class C, Class T and Institutional shares were charged $1,375,700, $435,235, $152,038, $7,563 and $63,138 respectively, pursuant to their respective Plans. During the period ended December 31, 2006, Class B, Class C and Class T shares were charged $145,078, $50,679 and $7,563, respectively, pursuant to the Service Plan.
Under its terms, the Plans and Service Plan shall remain in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by a vote of majority of those Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of or in any agreement related to the Plans or Service Plan.
32

A LETTER FROM THE CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Premier Limited Term High Yield Fund, covering the 12-month period from January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2006.
2006 proved to be a year of low volatility in the U.S. bond market.Yields of 10-year Treasury securities remained within a relatively narrow range of just 75 basis points, making 2006 the third least volatile bond market since 1970.Yet, a number of developments during the year might have suggested otherwise, including mounting economic uncertainty, volatile energy prices, softening real estate markets, a change in U.S. monetary policy and ongoing geopolitical turmoil.
Why did fixed-income investors appear to shrug off some of the year’s more negative influences? In our analysis, investors disregarded near-term concerns in favor of a longer view, looking to broader trends that showed moderately slower economic growth, subdued inflation, stabilizing short-term interest rates, a flat “yield curve” and persistently strong credit fundamentals. Indeed, 2006 confirmed that reacting to near-term influences with extreme shifts in investment strategy rarely is the right decision.We believe that a better course is to set a portfolio mix to meet long-term goals, while attempting to ignore short term market fluctuations.
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.We wish you good health and prosperity in 2007.

Thomas F. Eggers Chief Executive Officer The Dreyfus Corporation January 16, 2007

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
David Bowser, Portfolio Manager
Note to Shareholders: On October 27, 2006, David Bowser replaced Jon Uhrig as the fund’s primary portfolio manager. Mr. Bowser has been a portfolio manager of the fund since July 2006.
How did Dreyfus Premier Limited Term High Yield Fund perform during the period?
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2006, the fund achieved total returns of 8.66% for its Class A shares, 8.12% for Class B shares, 7.85% for Class C shares and 8.92% for Class R shares.The fund generated aggregate income dividends of $0.54 for Class A shares, $0.51 for Class B shares, $0.49 for Class C shares and $0.56 for Class R shares.1 In comparison, the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index (the “Merrill Lynch Constrained Index”) achieved a total return of 10.73% for the same period.2
High yield bonds produced attractive returns in 2006 due to sound credit fundamentals and generally positive supply-and-demand factors. The fund produced lower returns than its benchmark, primarily due to our emphasis on securities toward the higher end of the high yield market’s credit-rating spectrum, which generally underperformed more speculative investments.
What is the fund’s investment approach?
The fund seeks to maximize total return, consisting of capital appreciation and current income.The average effective maturity of the fund is limited to a maximum of 5.5 years.
At least 80% of the fund’s assets are invested in fixed-income securities that are rated below investment grade (“high yield” or “junk” bonds) or are the unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus. Individual issues are selected based on careful credit analysis.We thoroughly analyze the business, management and financial strength of each of the companies whose bonds we buy, then project each issuer’s ability to repay its debt.
The Fund 3
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?
The high yield market remained persistently strong in 2006, supported by domestic and international investors who maintained a relatively high tolerance for risk in their search for high levels of current income. Robust demand was met during much of the year with a relatively light supply of newly issued securities, as a number of issuers turned instead to bank loans for financing. Several large leveraged buy-out transactions created a brief surge in supply at the end of the year, enabling 2006 to set a new record for high yield bond issuance. However, even the spike in new supply near year-end was easily absorbed by the market.
In addition, the high yield market benefited from robust credit fundamentals, with defaults continuing to hover near historical lows. Although investors’ heightened inflation and interest-rate concerns sparked a temporary correction in the spring, the market bounced back when it became apparent that cooling housing markets, falling energy prices and less robust employment gains were likely to produce a gradual economic slowdown, potentially keeping inflation in check.The Federal Reserve Board lent credence to this view when it refrained from raising short-term interest rates over the second half of the year, its first pauses after more than two years of rate hikes that sent the overnight federal funds rate to 5.25% .
However, yield differences along the credit-rating spectrum began 2006 at below-average levels and continued to narrow as the market rallied, suggesting to us that a relatively defensive investment posture might be prudent in a slowing economic environment. Accordingly, we focused on securities in the market’s upper and middle rating tiers, including bonds issued by regulated industries, such as utilities, banks and real estate investment trusts.This stance limited the fund’s participation in the rally among lower-tier credits, accounting for its lagging performance relative to its benchmark.
We also maintained an underweight position in the financially troubled automotive sector, which proved to be among the market’s top performing areas in 2006.We also held comparatively few bonds from cable and
4
media companies, some of which were distressed. Nonetheless, cable and media bonds generally performed well.
The fund achieved better results in other areas. In the wireline telecommunications industry, a number of the fund’s holdings received credit-rating upgrades during the fourth quarter as the industry consolidated. Bonds from U.S. tobacco companies also fared well in an improving legal environment.
What is the fund’s current strategy?
While we have seen little evidence of an end to the positive supply-and-demand factors that have supported high yield bond prices, we remain cautious regarding the possibility that unexpected developments could trigger a sharp sell-off, especially in the wake of the market’s sustained rally in 2006. Indeed, new issues recently coming to market have tended to fall toward the lower end of the credit range, which may be a sign of frothiness in the market.Therefore, we have continued to focus primarily on bonds from higher-quality issuers that, in our analysis, demonstrate relatively strong credit characteristics. At the same time, we have added opportunistically to some previously underexposed areas — including the wireless telecommunications, gaming and theater industries — in an attempt to boost the fund’s yield without substantially reducing its credit profile.

On December 4, 2006, Mellon Financial and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement to merge. The new company will be called The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. As part of this transaction, Dreyfus would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals and the approval of The Bank of New York Company, Inc.’s and Mellon Financial’s shareholders, as well as other customary conditions to closing. Subject to such approvals and the satisfaction of the other conditions, Mellon Financial and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. expect the transaction to be completed in the third quarter of 2007.
Dreyfus Service Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the Distributor of the fund’s shares.The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of Beneficial Interest in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R. Class A, Class B and Class C shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear a distribution fee and/or service fee. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge, while Class B and Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares after six years. Class R shares are sold primarily to bank
trust departments and other financial service providers (including Mellon Financial and its affiliates) acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no distribution or service fees. Class R shares are offered without a front-end sales charge or CDSC. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to distribution and service fees and voting rights on matters affecting a single class. 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.
Effective March 1, 2006, Class A shares of the fund may be purchased at net asset value (“NAV”) without payment of a sales charge:
- By qualified investors who (i) purchase Class A shares directly through the Distributor, and (ii) have, or whose spouse or minor children have, beneficially owned shares and continuously maintained an open account directly through the Distributor in a Dreyfus-managed fund, including the fund, or a Founders Asset Management LLC
(“Founders”) managed fund since on or before February 28, 2006. Founders is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Distributor. - With the cash proceeds from an investor’s exercise of employment- related stock options, whether invested in the fund directly or indi- rectly through an exchange from a Dreyfus-managed money market fund, provided that the proceeds are processed through an entity that has entered into an agreement with the Distributor specifically relat- ing to processing stock options. Upon establishing the account in the fund or the Dreyfus-managed money market fund, the investor and the investor’s spouse and minor children become eligible to purchase Class A shares of the fund at NAV, whether or not using the proceeds of the employment-related stock options.
- By members of qualified affinity groups who purchase Class A shares directly through the Distributor, provided that the qualified affinity group has entered into an affinity agreement with the Distributor.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities (excluding short-term investments other than U.S. Treasury Bills), financial futures, options, swaps and forward currency exchange contracts are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are valued as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Restricted securities, as well as securities or other assets for which recent market quotations are not readily available and are not valued by a pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, or are determined by the fund not to reflect accurately fair value, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees. The factors that may be considered when fair valuing a security include 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. Short-term investments, excluding U.S.Treasury Bills, are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Registered open-end investment companies that are not traded on an exchange
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.
are valued at their net asset value. Financial futures and options, which are traded on an exchange, are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day. Options traded over-the-counter are priced at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange. Investments in swap transactions are valued each business day by a pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Swaps are valued by the service by using a swap pricing model which incorporates among other factors, default probabilities, recovery rates, credit curves of the underlying issuer and swap spreads on interest rates.
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 portfolio.
(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 amount 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
The Fund 35
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with Mellon Bank, N.A., an affiliate of the Manager, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s policy, that at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Cash collateral is invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager.The fund is entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction.Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner.
(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Manager are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.
(e) Concentration of Risk: The fund invests primarily in debt securities. Failure of an issuer of the debt securities to make timely interest or principal payments, or a decline or the perception of a decline in the credit quality of a debt security, can cause the debt security’s price to fall, potentially lowering the fund’s share price. High yield (“junk”) bonds involve greater credit risk, including the risk of default, than investment grade bonds, and are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and
36
interest payments. In addition, the value of debt securities may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment. They may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry.
(f) Dividends 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 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, 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.
(g) 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.
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 portfolio’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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 portfolio.
At December 31, 2006, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $578,627, accumulated capital losses $478,138,042 and unrealized appreciation $2,260,412.
The accumulated capital loss carryover is available to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to December 31, 2006. If not applied, $44,631,820 expires in fiscal 2007, $53,989,658 expires in fiscal 2008, $161,394,992 expires in fiscal 2009, $138,776,715 expires in fiscal 2010, $72,493,638 expires in fiscal 2011 and $6,851,219 expires in fiscal 2013. Based on certain provisions in the Internal Revenue Code, various limitations regarding the future utilization of these carryforwards, brought forward as a result of the fund’s merger with the following funds may apply: Dreyfus Short Term High Yield Fund, Dreyfus Premier High Yield Securities Fund and High Yield Total Fund. It is probable that the fund will not be able to utilize most of its capital loss carryovers prior to its expiration date.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were as follows: ordinary income $27,925,607 and $35,829,913, respectively.
During the period ended December 31, 2006, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for foreign currency transactions, amortization of premiums, consent fees, expiration of capital loss carryovers and other book to tax differences under the provisions of Section 382 of the Code, the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $2,124,956, increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by $83,537,357 and decreased paid-in capital by $85,662,313. Net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:
The fund may borrow up to $20 million for leveraging purposes under a short-term unsecured line of credit and participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $100 million unsecured line of credit primarily to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. Interest is charged to the fund based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowing.
The average daily amount of borrowings outstanding under the leveraging arrangement during the period ended December 31, 2006, was approximately $125,000 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 5.80% ..
NOTE 3—Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an Investment Management agreement with the Manager, the Manager provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates to provide investment advisory, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund.The Manager also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually obligated to pay the Manager a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of .70% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Out of its fee, the Manager pays all of the expenses of the fund except brokerage fees, taxes, interest, commitment fees, Rule 12b-1 distribution fees and expenses, service fees and expenses of non-interested Trustees (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, the Manager 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). Each Trustee receives $45,000 per year, plus $6,000 for each joint Board meeting of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc., The Dreyfus/Laurel Tax-Free Municipal Funds and the Trust (collectively, the “Dreyfus/Laurel Funds”) attended, $2,000 for separate
The Fund 39
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
in-person committee meetings attended which are not held in conjunction with a regularly scheduled Board meeting and $1,500 for Board meetings and separate committee meetings attended that are conducted by telephone and is reimbursed for travel and out-of-pocket expenses. With respect to Board meetings, the Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such compensation (with the exception of reimbursable amounts).With respect to compensation committee meetings, the Chairman of the compensation committee receives $900 per meeting and, with respect to audit committee meetings, the Chairman of the audit committee receives $1,350 per meeting. In the event that there is an in-person joint committee meeting or a joint telephone meeting of the Dreyfus/Laurel Funds and Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund, the $2,000 or $1,500 fee, as applicable, will be allocated between the Dreyfus/Laurel Funds and Dreyfus High Yield Strategies Fund. These fees and expenses are charged and allocated to each series based on net assets. Amounts required to be paid by the Trust directly to the non-interested Trustees, that would be applied to offset a portion of the management fee payable to the Manager, are in fact paid directly by the Manager to the non-interested Trustees.
During the period ended December 31, 2006, the Distributor retained $6,162 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $251,123 and $4,839 from CDSC on redemptions of the fund’s Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
(b) Under separate Distribution Plans (the “Plans”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class A shares pay annually up to .25% of the value of the average daily net assets to compensate the Distributor for shareholder servicing activities and expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of Class A shares. Class B and Class C shares pay the Distributor for distributing their shares at an aggregate annual rate of .50% and .75% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares, respectively. Class B and Class C shares are also subject to a service plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Service Plan”), under which Class B and Class C shares pay the Distributor for providing certain services to the holders of their shares a fee at the annual rate of .25% of the value of the average daily net
assets of Class B and Class C shares. During the period ended December 31, 2006, Class A, Class B and Class C shares were charged $539,468, $399,796 and $522,169, respectively, pursuant to their respective Plans. During the period ended December 31, 2006, Class B and Class C shares were charged $199,898 and $174,056, respectively, pursuant to the Service Plan.
Under its terms, the Plans and Service Plan shall remain in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by a vote of a majority of those Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of or in any agreement related to the Plans or Service Plan.
The components of Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $211,833, Rule 12b-1 distribution plan fees $114,208 and service plan fees $28,545.
(c) The Trust and the Manager have received an exemptive order from the SEC which, among other things, permits the fund to use cash collateral received in connection with lending the fund’s securities and other uninvested cash to purchase shares of one or more registered money market mutual funds advised by the Manager in excess of the limitations imposed by the Act.
NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales (including paydowns) of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, forward currency exchange contracts and swap transactions during the period ended December 31, 2006, amounted to $113,012,771 and $179,836,511, respectively.
The fund may invest in financial futures contracts in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the market. The fund is exposed to market risk as a result of changes in the value of the underlying financial instruments. Investments in financial futures require the fund to “mark to market” on a daily basis, which reflects the change in the market value of the contracts at the close of each day’s trading.
The Fund 41
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Accordingly, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses.When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss.These investments require initial margin deposits with a broker.The amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which the contract is traded and is subject to change. At December 31, 2006, there were no financial futures contracts outstanding.
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 contracts, 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 December 31, 2006:

The fund may enter into swap agreements to exchange the interest rate on, or return generated by, one nominal instrument for the return generated by another nominal instrument.
The fund accrues for the interim payments on swap contracts on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Once the interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) on swaps, in addition to realized gain (loss) recorded upon the termination of swaps contracts in the Statement of Operations. Fluctuations in the value of swap contracts are recorded as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.
Credit default swaps involve commitments to pay a fixed interest rate in exchange for payment if a credit event affecting a third party (the referenced company) occurs. For those credit default swaps in which the fund is receiving a fixed rate, the fund is providing credit protection on the underlying instrument. The maximum payouts for these contracts are limited to the notional amount of each swap. Credit events may include a failure to pay interest or principal, bankruptcy, or restructuring.

A LETTER FROM THE CEO
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Premier Managed Income Fund, covering the 12-month period from January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2006.
2006 proved to be a year of low volatility in the U.S. bond market.Yields of 10-year Treasury securities remained within a relatively narrow range of just 75 basis points, making 2006 the third least volatile bond market since 1970.Yet, a number of developments during the year might have suggested otherwise, including mounting economic uncertainty, volatile energy prices, softening real estate markets, a change in U.S. monetary policy and ongoing geopolitical turmoil.
Why did fixed-income investors appear to shrug off some of the year’s more negative influences? In our analysis, investors disregarded near-term concerns in favor of a longer view, looking to broader trends that showed moderately slower economic growth, subdued inflation, stabilizing short-term interest rates, a flat “yield curve” and persistently strong credit fundamentals. Indeed, 2006 confirmed that reacting to near-term influences with extreme shifts in investment strategy rarely is the right decision.We believe that a better course is to set a portfolio mix to meet long-term goals, while attempting to ignore short term market fluctuations.
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.We wish you good health and prosperity in 2007.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
Kent Wosepka, Portfolio Manager
How did Dreyfus Premier Managed Income Fund perform relative to its benchmark?
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2006, Dreyfus Premier Managed Income Fund produced total returns of 4.67% for Class A shares, 3.90% for Class B shares, 3.89% for Class C shares and 4.93% for Class R shares.1 In comparison, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, produced a total return of 4.33% for the same period. 2
After producing relatively lackluster returns over the first half of the year, the bond market rallied over the second half as short-term interest rates stabilized and economic growth slowed.The fund’s Class A and R shares produced higher returns than its benchmark, which we attribute primarily to the performance of the fund’s high yield corporate bond, investment-grade corporate bond and asset-backed securities holdings. However, the fund is also subject to fees and expenses to which the Index is not subject.
What is the fund’s investment approach?
The fund seeks high current income consistent with what is believed to be prudent risk of capital.The fund invests at least 65% of its total assets in various types of U.S. government and corporate debt obligations rated investment grade (or their unrated equivalent as determined by Dreyfus).The fund also normally invests at least 65% of its total assets in debt obligations having effective maturities of 10 years or less.We do not attempt to match the sector percentages of any index, nor do we attempt to predict the direction of interest rates by substantially altering the fund’s sensitivity to changes in rates. Instead, the heart of our investment process is selecting individual securities that possess a combination of superior fundamentals and attractive relative valuations.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
What other factors influenced the fund’s performance?
Bond prices declined modestly over the first six months of 2006 due to intensifying inflation concerns in a generally robust economic environment. However, investor sentiment improved markedly over the second half of the year, as U.S. economic growth moderated amid cooling housing markets and more modest employment gains. As a result, following four increases in short-term interest rates over the first half of the year, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) held the overnight federal funds rate steady at 5.25% at each of four meetings between August and December, its first pauses in more than two years. Investors first anticipated and then reacted favorably to the Fed’s shift in policy, and the longer end of the bond market rallied.
Despite the economic slowdown, business fundamentals remained healthy in most industries, generally supporting prices of corporate bonds across the credit-rating spectrum. In the U.S. government securities market, low levels of volatility helped mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and other high quality, “yield advantaged” instruments outperform U.S.Treasury securities.
In this environment, the fund’s positions in high yield bonds helped it participate in the rally among lower-rated credits.At the same time, we attempted to manage the risks of lower-rated securities by focusing on bonds with relatively short maturities, which we regarded as less likely to be affected by unexpected adverse developments.We also established shorter-maturity positions in the investment-grade corporate bond market, where we avoided issuers that we believed might be vulnerable to activities that tend to be unfriendly to bondholders, such as leveraged buyouts. Instead, we favored regulated industries where such activities are less common.
The fund’s holdings of asset-backed securities provided higher yields than U.S.Treasury securities, contributing positively to returns. However, we maintained an underweight position in mortgage-backed securities, a strategy that detracted modestly from the fund’s relative performance in the low volatility investment environment. In addition, tactical positions
in Treasury Inflation Protected Securities underperformed the averages when energy prices remained low during the fall, helping to keep a lid on inflation expectations.
The fund also benefited to a degree from our duration management strategy. A modestly short average duration over the first half of 2006 helped protect the fund from the potentially adverse effects of rising interest rates, while a shift in mid-year to a slightly long position helped boost its participation in the market rally during the second half. Despite narrowing yield differences along the market’s maturity spectrum, the fund’s “bulleted” yield curve strategy had relatively little impact on performance. Finally, the fund’s derivative investments generally fared well, including tactical positions in credit default swaps designed to provide protection from declines in specific markets or issuers.
What is the fund’s current strategy?
Although high yield and investment-grade corporate bonds have reached richer valuations overall, we have continued to uncover what we believe to be compelling opportunities among individual issuers. With the Fed appearing to remain on hold for the foreseeable future, we have maintained the fund’s average duration in a range that is slightly longer than industry averages. Finally, we recently increased the fund’s positions in bonds from the emerging markets, including securities from Brazil and Poland, that we believe may benefit as local inflation rates fall and currency exchange rates improve.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Premier Managed Income Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds Trust (the “Trust”), 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 offering six series, including the fund, as of the date of this report. The fund’s investment objective is to seek high current income consistent with what is believed to be prudent risk of capital primarily through investments in investment-grade corporate and U.S. Government obligations which primarily have maturities of 10 years or less. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”) serves as the fund’s investment manager. The Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation (“Mellon Financial”).
On December 4, 2006, Mellon Financial and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement to merge. The new company will be called The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. As part of this transaction, Dreyfus would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals and the approval of The Bank of New York Company, Inc.’s and Mellon Financial’s shareholders, as well as other customary conditions to closing. Subject to such approvals and the satisfaction of the other conditions, Mellon Financial and The Bank of New York Company, Inc. expect the transaction to be completed in the third quarter of 2007.
Dreyfus Service Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, is the distributor of the fund’s shares.The fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of Beneficial Interest in the following classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R. Class A, Class B and Class C shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear a distribution fee and/or service fee. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge, while Class B and Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class B shares automatically convert to Class A
The Fund 39
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
shares after six years. Class R shares are sold primarily to bank trust departments and other financial service providers (including Mellon Bank and its affiliates) acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no distribution fee or service fee. Class R shares are offered without a front-end sales charge or CDSC. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to distribution fees and voting rights on matters affecting a single class. 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.
Effective March 1, 2006, Class A shares of the fund may be purchased at net asset value (“NAV”) without payment of a sales charge:
- By qualified investors who (i) purchase Class A shares directly through the Distributor, and (ii) have, or whose spouse or minor children have, beneficially owned shares and continuously maintained an open account directly through the Distributor in a Dreyfus-managed fund, including the fund, or a Founders Asset Management LLC
(“Founders”) managed fund since on or before February 28, 2006. Founders is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Distributor. - With the cash proceeds from an investor’s exercise of employment- related stock options, whether invested in the fund directly or indi- rectly through an exchange from a Dreyfus-managed money market fund, provided that the proceeds are processed through an entity that has entered into an agreement with the Distributor specifically relat- ing to processing stock options. Upon establishing the account in the fund or the Dreyfus-managed money market fund, the investor and the investor’s spouse and minor children become eligible to purchase Class A shares of the fund at NAV, whether or not using the proceeds of the employment-related stock options.
- By members of qualified affinity groups who purchase Class A shares directly through the Distributor, provided that the qualified affinity group has entered into an affinity agreement with the Distributor.
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.
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.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities (excluding short-term investments other than U.S. Treasury Bills), financial futures, options, swaps and forward currency exchange contracts are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices (as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices (as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the portfolio securities) are valued as determined by the Service, based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Restricted securities, as well as securities or other assets for which recent market quotations are not readily available and are not valued by a pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, or are determined by the fund not to reflect accurately fair value, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under the direction of the Board of Trustees.The factors that may be considered when fair valuing a security include 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. Short-term investments, excluding U.S. Treasury Bills, are carried at amortized cost, which
The Fund 41
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
approximates fair value.Registered open-end investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their NAV. Financial futures and options, which are traded on an exchange, are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market on each business day. Options traded over-the-counter are priced at the mean between the bid and asked prices. 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. Investments in swap transactions are valued each business day by a pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees. Swaps are valued by the service by using a swap pricing model which incorporates among other factors, default probabilities, recovery rates, credit curves of the underlying issuer and swap spreads on interest rates.
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 amount 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 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 recorded 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.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with Mellon Bank, N.A., an affiliate of the Manager, the fund may lend securities to qualified institutions. It is the fund’s policy, that at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities on loan is maintained at all times. Cash collateral is invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by the Manager.The fund is entitled to receive all income on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction.Although each security loaned is fully collateralized, the fund bears the risk of delay in recovery of, or loss of rights in, the securities loaned should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner.
(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by the Manager are defined as “affiliated” in the Act.
(e) Concentration of Risk: The fund invests primarily in debt securities. Failure of an issuer of the debt securities to make timely interest or principal payments, or a decline or the perception of a decline in the credit quality of a debt security, can cause the debt security’s price to fall, potentially lowering the fund’s share price. In addition the value of debt securities may decline due to general market con-
The Fund 43
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
ditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment.They may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry.
(f) Dividends 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 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, it is the policy of the fund not to distribute such gain.
(g) 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.
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 December 31, 2006, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $114,254, accumulated capital losses $7,402,051 and unrealized depreciation $304,138. In addition, the fund had $33,947 of capital losses realized after October 31, 2006, which were deferred for tax purposes to the first day of the following fiscal year.
The accumulated capital loss carryover is available to be applied against future net securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to December 31, 2006. If not applied, $4,281,545 of the carryover expires in fiscal 2007, $2,840,637 expires in fiscal 2008 and $279,869 expires in fiscal 2014.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, were as follows: ordinary income $2,317,245 and $2,620,229, respectively.
During the period ended December 31, 2006, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for amortization of premiums, treasury inflation protected securities, paydown gains and losses, swap periodic payments and foreign currency transactions, the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $28,046, decreased net realized gain (loss) on investments by $27,194 and decreased paid-in capital by $852. 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. 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 based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowing. During the period ended December 31, 2006, the fund did not borrow under the Facility.

(c) The Trust and the Manager have received an exemptive order from the SEC which, among other things, permits the fund to use cash collateral received in connection with lending the fund’s securities and other uninvested cash to purchase shares of one or more registered money market mutual funds advised by the Manager in excess of the limitations imposed by the Act.
NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales (including paydowns) of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, forward currency exchange contracts, futures, options and swap transactions during the period ended December 31, 2006, amounted to $302,107,066 and $288,657,555, respectively, of which $60,503,641 in purchases and $60,540,319 in sales were from mortgage dollar roll transactions.
A mortgage dollar roll transaction involves a sale by the fund of mortgage related securities that it holds with an agreement by the fund to repurchase similar securities at an agreed upon price and date. The securities purchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories than those securities sold.
The fund may purchase and write (sell) call/put options in order to gain exposure to or protect against change in the market.
As a writer of call options, the fund receives a premium at the outset and then bears the market risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the financial instruments underlying the options. Generally, the fund would incur a gain, to the extent of the premium, if the price of the underlying financial instrument decreases between the date the option is written and the date on which the option is terminated. Generally, the fund would realize a loss, if the price of the financial instrument increases between those dates.
As a writer of put options, the fund receives a premium at the outset and then bears the market risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the financial instruments underlying the options. Generally, the fund would incur a gain, to the extent of the premium, if the price of the
underlying financial instrument increases between the date the option is written and the date on which the option is terminated. Generally, the fund would realize a loss, if the price of the financial instrument decreases between those dates.
In addition, the following table summarizes the fund’s call/put options written during the period ended December 31, 2006:

The fund may invest in financial futures contracts in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the market. The fund is exposed to market risk as a result of changes in the value of the underlying financial instruments. Investments in financial futures require the fund to “mark to market” on a daily basis, which reflects the change in the market value of the contracts at the close of each day’s trading. Accordingly, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses.When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss.These investments require initial margin deposits with a broker.The amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which the contract is traded and is subject to change. Contracts open at December 31, 2006 are set forth in the Statement of Financial Futures.
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
The Fund 49
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 contracts, 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 December 31, 2006:

The fund may enter into swap agreements to exchange the interest rate on, or return generated by, one nominal instrument for the return generated by another nominal instrument.
The fund accrues for the interim payments on swap contracts on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of swap contracts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Once the interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) on swaps, in addition to realized gain (loss) recorded upon the termination of swaps contracts in the Statement of Operations. Fluctuations in the value of swap contracts are recorded as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received.An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dreyfus Premier Managed Income Fund of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds Trust as of December 31, 2006, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
