A LETTER FROM THE CEO OF DREYFUS
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Bond Market Index Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2017. For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as general market perspectives, we provide a Discussion of Fund Performance on the pages that follow.
Stocks set a series of new record highs and bonds produced mixed results over the past year in response to changing economic and political conditions. Financial markets at the start of the reporting period were dominated by the election of a new U.S. presidential administration. Equities and corporate-backed bonds surged higher in anticipation of more business-friendly regulatory, tax, and fiscal policies, but high-quality bonds generally lost value due to expectations of rising interest rates and accelerating inflation in a stronger economy. Despite a series of short-term interest-rate hikes, bonds recovered their previous losses over the first 10 months of 2017 when it became clearer that pro-growth legislation would take time and political capital to enact. U.S. and international stocks continued to rally as corporate earnings grew and global economic conditions improved.
The markets’ recent strong performance has been supported by solid underlying fundamentals. While we currently expect these favorable conditions to persist, we remain watchful for economic and political developments that could derail the markets. As always, we encourage you to discuss the risks and opportunities of today’s investment environment with your financial advisor.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.
Sincerely,

Mark D. Santero
Chief Executive Officer
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period from November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2017, as provided by Nancy G. Rogers, CFA, Paul Benson, CFA, and Stephanie Shu, CFA, Portfolio Managers
Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2017, Dreyfus Bond Market Index Fund’s Class I shares produced a total return of 0.64%, and its Investor shares produced a total return of 0.39%.1 In comparison, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”) achieved a total return of 0.90% for the same period.2
U.S. bonds produced modestly positive total returns over the reporting period, on average, when moderating long-term interest rates and muted inflation offset earlier market weakness stemming from expectations of greater economic growth. The difference in returns between the fund and the Index was primarily the result of operating expenses that are not reflected in the Index’s results.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks to match the total return of the Index. To pursue this goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in bonds that are included in the Index (or other instruments with similar characteristics). To maintain liquidity, the fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in various short-term, fixed-income securities and money market instruments.
The fund’s investments are selected by a “sampling” process, which is a statistical process used to select bonds so that the fund has investment characteristics that closely approximate those of the Index. By using this sampling process, the fund typically will not invest in all of the securities in the Index.
Economic and Political Developments Drove Bond Markets
Longer-term interest rates rose sharply in the weeks following the U.S. presidential election in November 2016, causing prices of U.S. government securities to decline. Rates moved higher in response to expectations that a new presidential administration’s more business-friendly regulatory, tax, and fiscal policies would boost U.S. economic growth and inflationary pressures. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) implemented a long-awaited increase in short-term interest rates in December 2016.
In 2017, evidence of stronger economic growth in domestic and overseas markets prompted a gradual move among central banks away from the aggressively accommodative monetary policies of the past few years. In the United States, short-term interest rates continued to rise when the Fed implemented two more increases in the overnight federal funds rate and, toward the end of the reporting period, began to unwind its balance sheet through sales of U.S. government securities. In contrast, long-term U.S. interest rates moderated over much of 2017, giving back some, but not all, of the post-election spike when inflationary pressures remained muted and investors came to realize that some government policy reforms were far from certain.
Higher-Yielding Market Sectors Fared Best
In this environment, high-quality U.S. government securities lost value when long-term interest rates spiked in post-election trading. However, longer-term bond yields later moderated, enabling U.S. Treasury securities with maturities of 10 years or more to recoup a significant portion of their previous losses. Short-term U.S. government bonds with maturities between 1 and 10 years also lost a degree of value as yield differences narrowed along the market’s maturity spectrum.
3
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
In contrast, corporate-backed bonds produced consistently strong returns amid growing earnings and upbeat business sentiment. Corporate bond prices also were supported by investors seeking competitive levels of current income, and the resulting robust demand more than compensated for increased bond issuance from businesses seeking to raise capital or refinance existing debt in advance of interest-rate hikes and potential tax reform legislation.
Mortgage-backed securities produced generally flat returns over the reporting period, as the benefits of their yield advantage over U.S. Treasury securities were offset by concerns regarding a glut of supply stemming from the Fed’s asset sales. Commercial mortgage-backed securities fared better, supported by steady economic growth and investor demand for higher-yielding securities.
The Index underwent some changes in April 2017 that, in our judgment, could lead to a more investable universe. Requirements for the amount outstanding for each bond issue were increased and hybrid mortgage-backed securities were removed as Index components, resulting in the elimination of hundreds of relatively thinly traded bonds.
Replicating the Index’s Composition
As an index fund, we attempt to match closely the returns of the Index by approximating its composition. Still, it is worth noting that most analysts expect additional short-term interest-rate hikes from the Fed, which may constrain total returns from U.S. government securities. However, corporate securities currently appear likely to continue to benefit from economic growth.
As of October 31, 2017, approximately 28.0% of the fund’s assets was invested in mortgage-backed securities, 1.9% in commercial mortgage-backed securities, 31.5% in credit bonds and asset-backed securities, and 38.5% in U.S. Treasury and agency securities. Moreover, all of the fund’s corporate securities were rated at least BBB- or better, and the fund has maintained an overall credit quality that is closely aligned with that of the Index.

1 Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price, yield, and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.
2 Source: Lipper Inc. — The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based flagship benchmark that measures the investment-grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The index includes Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), ABS and CMBS (agency and nonagency). Investors cannot invest directly in any index.
Bonds are subject generally to interest-rate, credit, liquidity, and market risks, to varying degrees, all of which are more fully described in the fund’s prospectus. Generally, all other factors being equal, bond prices are inversely related to interest-rate changes, and rate increases can cause price declines.
Indexing does not attempt to manage market volatility, use defensive strategies, or reduce the effects of any long-term periods of poor index performance. The correlation between fund and index performance may be affected by the fund’s expenses and use of sampling techniques, changes in securities markets, changes in the composition of the index, and the timing of purchases and redemptions of fund shares.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Bond Market Index Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc. (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 eight series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to match the total return of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser.
MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge. The fund is authorized to issue 500 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Investor and Class I. Investor shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear Distribution Plan fees. Class I shares are sold primarily to bank trust departments and other financial service providers (including The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, and its affiliates), acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or an investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no Distribution Plan fees. Differences between the two classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, as well as their minimum purchase and account balance requirements. 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 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
67
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:
Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value and are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in securities, excluding short-term investments (other than U.S. Treasury Bills), are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the
68
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 the following: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Service is engaged under the general supervision of the Board.
When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined to not accurately reflect fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.
For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2017 in valuing the fund’s investments:

At October 31, 2017, 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. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, 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. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by Dreyfus, or U.S. Government and Agency securities. The fund is entitled to receive all dividends, interest and distributions on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Should a borrower fail to return the securities in

a timely manner, The Bank of New York Mellon is required to replace the securities for the benefit of the fund or credit the fund with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the fund’s rights against the borrower and the collateral. Additionally, the contractual maturity of security lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. During the period ended October 31, 2017, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $32,949 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” under the Act.
(d) 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 conditions that are not specifically related to a particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment. Such values may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry.
(e) 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. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(f) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
As of and during the period ended October 31, 2017, 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 October 31, 2017, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
71
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2017 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2017, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $1,302,389, accumulated capital losses $4,958,001 and unrealized appreciation $16,510,105.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, 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 net realized capital gains, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 2017. The funds has $4,958,001 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 October 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016 were as follows: ordinary income $50,195,532 and $66,839,102, and long-term capital gains $4,808,880 and $1,633,659, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2017, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for paydown gains and losses on mortgage backed securities, amortization of premiums and consent fees, the fund increased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $1,497,481 and decreased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by the same amount. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.
NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:
The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in an $830 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. Prior to October 4, 2017, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $810 million. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended October 31, 2017, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.
72
NOTE 3—Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an investment management agreement with Dreyfus, Dreyfus 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. Dreyfus 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 Dreyfus a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of .15% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Out of its fee Dreyfus pays all of the expenses of the fund except brokerage fees, taxes, interest expenses, commitment fees on borrowings, Distribution Plan fees, fees and expenses of non-interested Directors (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, Dreyfus is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Directors (including counsel fees). During the period ended October 31, 2017, fees reimbursed by Dreyfus amounted to $138,704.
(b) Under the Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Investor shares may pay annually up to .25% of the value of its average daily net assets to compensate the Distributor for shareholder servicing activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Investor shares. During the period ended October 31, 2017, Investor shares were charged $1,839,483 pursuant to the Distribution Plan.
Under its terms, the Distribution Plan shall remain in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by a vote of a majority of those Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of or in any agreement related to the Distribution Plan.
The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $178,921 and Distribution Plan fees $106,300, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $8,454.
(c) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.
NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales (including paydowns) of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period
73
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
ended October 31, 2017, amounted to $3,368,482,872 and $4,335,116,346, respectively, of which $1,414,364,372 in purchases and $1,416,655,459 in sales were from mortgage dollar transactions.
Mortgage Dollar Rolls: 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 accounts for mortgage dollar rolls as purchases and sales transactions.
To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) Securities: During the period ended October 31, 2017, the fund transacted in TBA securities that involved buying or selling mortgage-backed securities on a forward commitment basis. A TBA transaction typically does not designate the actual security to be delivered and only includes an approximate principal amount; however, delivered securities must meet specified terms defined by industry guidelines, including issuer, rate and current principal amount outstanding on underling mortgage pools. TBA securities subject to a forward commitment to sell at period end are included at the end of the fund’s Statement of Investments under the caption “Statement of TBA Sale Commitments.” The proceeds and value of these commitments are reflected in the fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Receivable for TBA sale commitments and TBA sale commitments, at value, respectively.
At October 31, 2017, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $1,526,147,088; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $16,503,715, consisting of $27,029,730 gross unrealized appreciation and $10,526,015 gross unrealized depreciation.

A LETTER FROM THE CEO OF DREYFUS
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Disciplined Stock Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2017. For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as general market perspectives, we provide a Discussion of Fund Performance on the pages that follow.
Stocks set a series of new record highs and bonds produced mixed results over the past year in response to changing economic and political conditions. Financial markets at the start of the reporting period were dominated by the election of a new U.S. presidential administration. Equities and corporate-backed bonds surged higher in anticipation of more business-friendly regulatory, tax, and fiscal policies, but high-quality bonds generally lost value due to expectations of rising interest rates and accelerating inflation in a stronger economy. Despite a series of short-term interest-rate hikes, bonds recovered their previous losses over the first 10 months of 2017 when it became clearer that pro-growth legislation would take time and political capital to enact. U.S. and international stocks continued to rally as corporate earnings grew and global economic conditions improved.
The markets’ recent strong performance has been supported by solid underlying fundamentals. While we currently expect these favorable conditions to persist, we remain watchful for economic and political developments that could derail the markets. As always, we encourage you to discuss the risks and opportunities of today’s investment environment with your financial advisor.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.
Sincerely,

Mark D. Santero
Chief Executive Officer
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period from November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2017, as provided by George E. DeFina and John C. Bailer, Portfolio Managers
Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2017, Dreyfus Disciplined Stock Fund produced a total return of 20.84%.1 In comparison, the S&P 500® Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, returned 23.61% for the same period.2
U.S. stocks rose amid improving economic growth prospects and positive investor sentiment in anticipation of business-friendly government reforms. The fund lagged its benchmark, primarily due to disappointing security selections in the consumer discretionary, health care, real estate, telecommunication services, and consumer staples sectors.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks capital appreciation. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in stocks, with a focus on large-cap companies.
The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of growth and value stocks, with sector weightings and risk characteristics generally similar to those in the Index. We choose stocks through a disciplined investment process that combines computer modeling techniques, fundamental analysis, and risk management. The fund’s investment process is designed to provide investors with investment exposure to sector weightings and risk characteristics generally similar to those of the Index.
We use a proprietary computer model to identify and rank stocks within an industry or sector, based on several characteristics, including: Value, or how a stock is priced relative to its perceived intrinsic worth; Growth, in this case the sustainability or growth or earnings; and Financial Profile, which measures the financial health of the company. The model screens each stock for relative attractiveness within its economic sector and industry and, based on fundamental analysis, we generally select the most attractive of the higher-ranked securities, drawing on a variety of sources, including internal as well as Wall Street research, and company management.
Economic Growth and Investor Sentiment Bolstered Stocks
The unexpected result of the 2016 presidential election energized equity markets as investors began to anticipate lower corporate taxes, reduced regulatory constraints on business, and increased infrastructure spending. Although concerns arose in the spring of 2017 regarding the new presidential administration’s ability to implement its business-friendly policy proposals, encouraging economic data—including a declining unemployment rate—continued to support investor confidence, driving broad stock market indices to a series of new highs throughout 2017.
Most market sectors benefited from the market’s broad rise, led by some of the more growth-oriented, economically sensitive market segments. The information technology sector produced especially sharp gains, followed by the materials, utilities, and financials sectors, which modestly outperformed the overall market. Telecommunication services stocks lost ground due to heightened competitive pressures and the perceived risks of rising interest rates. Energy stocks also dipped, particularly during the first half of the reporting period, in response to declining oil and gas prices.
Some Stock Selections Dampened Relative Performance
While the fund participated in most of the Index’s gains, relative returns suffered due to a few disappointing stock selections. In the consumer discretionary area, advertising agency Omnicom and cable television company Comcast both faced intensifying concerns regarding Internet-based competition, while automobile components maker Goodyear Tire & Rubber reported weaker-than-expected sales. In the health care sector, biotechnology firm Celgene declined sharply after reporting
3
DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
disappointing sales, and pharmaceutical developer Merck & Co. lost value when a promising experimental drug failed in clinical trials.
While the fund benefited from underweighted exposure to the real estate sector, individual holdings of real estate investment trusts (REITs), such as Uniti Group, underperformed market averages due to credit-related pressures. In the telecommunication services sector, overweighted exposure to industry giant AT&T at a time of stiff competition detracted from relative results. Among consumer staples holdings, several food and beverage companies—including Molson Coors Brewing, Kellogg, and Conagra Brands—came under pressure from weak demand and concerns that the entry of Internet retailing giant Amazon.com into the grocery market could undercut industry margins. Other disappointing holdings included oil and gas producer Occidental Petroleum and cosmetics retailer Ulta Beauty.
On a more positive note, the fund enhanced relative returns with favorable stock selections in the financials sector, which generally benefited from improving economic conditions and rising equity markets. Leading performers included banks, such as SunTrust Banks, JPMorgan Chase, and Bank of America; capital markets firms, such as Goldman Sachs and Charles Schwab; insurers, such as Prudential Financial; and diversified financials organizations, such as Voya Financial. Overweighted exposure to the materials sector bolstered performance, as did the fund’s investment in Packaging Corporation of America. Other notably strong performers included payment processor Square.
Investing in an Expanding Economy
Despite the damage caused by recent hurricanes along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, the U.S. economy has continued to show signs of steady expansion, and a wide range of companies has reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings. We believe that further gains are likely to be supported by pro-growth government policies and positive global macroeconomic developments. We have positioned the fund to benefit from these developments by focusing on attractively valued companies with strong cyclical growth prospects. As of the end of the reporting period, the fund held overweighted exposure to the financials sector, particularly those companies leveraged to a strengthening U.S. economy and industry deregulation. Other areas of emphasis include the materials, energy, and information technology sectors. In contrast, the fund held comparatively little exposure to the consumer staples, consumer discretionary, health care, real estate, and utilities sectors.

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.

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.

The fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, is the distributor of the fund’s shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.
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.
(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
16
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:
Investments in securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. For open short positions, asked prices are used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value. All of the preceding securities are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
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. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant American Depository Receipts and futures. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined to not accurately reflect 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
17
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.
For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2017 in valuing the fund’s investments:
| | | | |
| Level 1 - Unadjusted Quoted Prices | Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs | Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs | Total |
Assets ($) | | | | |
Investments in Securities: | | |
Equity Securities— Domestic Common Stocks† | 585,944,454 | – | – | 585,944,454 |
Registered Investment Companies | 16,657,209 | – | – | 16,657,209 |
† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.
At October 31, 2017, 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. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, and its affiliates, 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
18
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. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by Dreyfus, or U.S. Government and Agency securities. The fund is entitled to receive all dividends, interest and distributions on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner, The Bank of New York Mellon is required to replace the securities for the benefit of the fund or credit the fund with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the fund’s rights against the borrower and the collateral. Additionally, the contractual maturity of security lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. During the period ended October 31, 2017, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $5,714 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” under the Act.
(d) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net are normally declared and paid quarterly. 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. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(e) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
As of and during the period ended October 31, 2017, 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 October 31, 2017, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
19
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2017 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2017, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $13,037,140, undistributed capital gains $43,727,529 and unrealized appreciation $130,401,180.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016 were as follows: ordinary income $5,851,063 and $6,037,227, and long-term capital gains $11,449,855 and $57,315,176, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2017, 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 $104,580 and increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by the same amount. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.
NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:
The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in an $830 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. Prior to October 4, 2017, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $810 million. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing.
The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Facilities during the period ended October 31, 2017 was approximately $11,200 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 2.12%.
NOTE 3—Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an investment management agreement with Dreyfus, Dreyfus 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. Dreyfus also directs the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. For these services, the fund is contractually
20
obligated to pay Dreyfus 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, Dreyfus pays all of the expenses of the fund except brokerage fees, taxes, interest expenses, commitment fees on borrowings, Distribution Plan fees, fees and expenses of non-interested Directors (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, Dreyfus is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Directors (including counsel fees). During the period ended October 31, 2017, fees reimbursed by Dreyfus amounted to $42,458.
(b) Under the Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, the fund may pay annually up to .10% of the value of its average daily net assets to compensate BNY Mellon and Dreyfus for shareholder servicing activities and the Distributor for shareholder servicing activities and expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of fund shares. During the period ended October 31, 2017, the fund was charged $586,980 pursuant to the Distribution Plan.
Under its terms, the Distribution Plan shall remain in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by a vote of a majority of those Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of or in any agreement related to the Distribution Plan.
The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $457,039 and Distribution Plan fees $50,782, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $3,752.
(c) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.
NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, during the period ended October 31, 2017, amounted to $321,312,200 and $371,512,585, respectively.
At October 31, 2017, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $472,200,483; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $130,401,180, consisting of $137,546,658 gross unrealized appreciation and $7,145,478 gross unrealized depreciation.

A LETTER FROM THE CEO OF DREYFUS
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Institutional S&P 500 Stock Index Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2017. For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as general market perspectives, we provide a Discussion of Fund Performance on the pages that follow.
Stocks set a series of new record highs and bonds produced mixed results over the past year in response to changing economic and political conditions. Financial markets at the start of the reporting period were dominated by the election of a new U.S. presidential administration. Equities and corporate-backed bonds surged higher in anticipation of more business-friendly regulatory, tax, and fiscal policies, but high-quality bonds generally lost value due to expectations of rising interest rates and accelerating inflation in a stronger economy. Despite a series of short-term interest-rate hikes, bonds recovered their previous losses over the first 10 months of 2017 when it became clearer that pro-growth legislation would take time and political capital to enact. U.S. and international stocks continued to rally as corporate earnings grew and global economic conditions improved.
The markets’ recent strong performance has been supported by solid underlying fundamentals. While we currently expect these favorable conditions to persist, we remain watchful for economic and political developments that could derail the markets. As always, we encourage you to discuss the risks and opportunities of today’s investment environment with your financial advisor.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.
Sincerely,

Mark D. Santero
Chief Executive Officer
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period from November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2017, as provided by Thomas J. Durante, CFA, Karen Q. Wong, CFA, and Richard A. Brown, CFA, Portfolio Managers
Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2017, Dreyfus Institutional S&P 500 Index Fund produced a total return of 23.42%.1 In comparison, the S&P 500® Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, returned 23.61% for the same period.2,3
Large-cap stocks gained ground amid better-than-expected corporate earnings, improving global economic prospects, and expectations of more stimulative U.S. government policies. The difference in returns between the fund and the Index was primarily the result of transaction costs and operating expenses that are not reflected in the Index’s results.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks to match the total return of the Index by generally investing at least 95% of its total assets in common stocks included in the Index. To replicate index performance, the fund’s portfolio managers use a passive management approach and generally purchase all of the securities comprising the Index (though, at times, the fund may invest in a representative sample of the Index). Because the fund has expenses, performance will tend to be slightly lower than that of the Index. The fund attempts to have a correlation between its performance and that of the Index of at least .95, before expenses. A correlation of 1.00 would mean that the fund and the Index were perfectly correlated.
The Index is an unmanaged index of 500 common stocks chosen to reflect the industries of the U.S. economy and is often considered a proxy for the stock market in general.
Rising Corporate Earnings Drove Markets Higher
Equity markets were reenergized in late 2016 when investors began to anticipate more robust economic growth stemming from lower corporate taxes, reduced regulatory constraints on business, and increased infrastructure spending from a new presidential administration. In early 2017, better-than-expected corporate earnings and encouraging global economic developments drove the Index to a series of new highs. While concerns about the new presidential administration’s ability to implement its business-friendly policy proposals slowed the market’s advance in the spring, most broad measures of stock market performance quickly erased those losses and reached new all-time highs over the summer and into the fall.
The market’s advance was supported throughout the reporting period by measured, well-telegraphed shifts in monetary policy from the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”). Although rising interest rates historically have tended to undermine investor sentiment toward stocks, the Fed’s gradual approach to withdrawing economic stimulus—including three short-term interest-rate hikes and the start of balance-sheet reduction—was received calmly by investors, who focused on rising corporate earnings and improving business conditions.
Technology Stocks Led the Market’s Advance
The Index’s robust results over the reporting period were largely driven by earnings growth in the information technology sector. Ongoing trends in favor of cloud computing, e-commerce, digital advertising, and mobile communications helped support revenues and earnings for a variety of large technology companies, most notably industry leaders such as Apple, Amazon.com, Facebook, Microsoft, and Alphabet (the parent of Google). Some of these industry giants moved

into new lines of business, disrupting other areas, such as retail sales. Technological innovations also generated robust demand for semiconductor companies, which further benefited from renewed pricing power in a consolidating industry.
The financials sector also produced impressive results. Higher short-term interest rates helped banks and capital market firms expand their lending margins and currency-trading revenues. Deregulation of the financials sector helped boost profits further, and the previous cost-cutting efforts of many financial institutions positioned them well for the 2017 upturn.
Despite uncertainty surrounding government efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, the health care sector posted strong gains over the reporting period. Indeed, Congress’s inability to repeal Obamacare helped support the outlook for a number of hospital operators and insurers. Moreover, concerns waned regarding government intervention to control drug costs, removing an impediment to gains among large biotechnology firms and pharmaceutical developers. Finally, the industry has been successful in obtaining regulatory approval of a record number of new drugs so far in 2017, further bolstering their prospects in the eyes of investors. Very large drug companies with diversified revenue sources fared especially well.
Only the telecommunication services sector posted negative absolute returns over the reporting period. Comprised of just four companies, the Index’s telecommunications components confronted challenges presented by “cord cutting” when more customers disconnected landlines and replaced cable television with Internet-based entertainment services. The energy sector posted a mildly positive return, as low oil prices early in the reporting period, reduced production volumes, and heavy debt burdens weighed on drilling equipment and oil service providers.
Replicating the Performance of the Index
Although we do not actively manage the fund’s investments in response to macroeconomic trends, it is worth noting that the U.S. and global economic recoveries appear to have gained momentum, and corporate earnings have continued to exceed many analysts’ expectations. However, the market’s currently constructive conditions could be undermined by unexpected political and economic developments. As always, we have continued to monitor the factors considered by the fund’s investment model in light of current market conditions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Institutional S&P 500 Stock Index Fund (the “fund”) is a separate diversified series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc. (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 eight series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to match the total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500® Composite Stock Price Index. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, is the distributor of the fund’s shares.
Class I shares are sold primarily to bank trust departments and other financial service providers (including The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, and its affiliates), acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or an investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no Distribution or Shareholder Service Plan fees. Class I shares are offered without a front-end sales charge or a contingent deferred sales charge.
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.
(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in
28
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.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:
Investments in securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. For open short positions, asked prices are used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value. All of the preceding securities are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
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. U.S. Treasury Bills are valued at the mean price between quoted bid prices and asked prices by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Board. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
29
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The Service is engaged under the general supervision of the Board.
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 American Depository Receipts and futures. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined to not accurately reflect fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.
For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Futures, 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 and are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2017 in valuing the fund’s investments:

Futures†† | 513,333 | - | - | 513,333 |
† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.
†† Amount shown represents unrealized appreciation at period end.
At October 31, 2017, 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. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, 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. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by Dreyfus, or U.S. Government and Agency securities. The fund is entitled to receive all dividends, interest and distributions on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner, The Bank of New York Mellon is required to replace the securities for the benefit of the fund or credit the fund with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the fund’s rights against the borrower and the collateral. Additionally, the contractual maturity of security lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. During the period ended October 31, 2017, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $7,486 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” under the Act.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(d) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net are normally declared and paid quarterly. 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. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(e) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
As of and during the period ended October 31, 2017, 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 October 31, 2017, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2017 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2017, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $19,003,648, undistributed capital gains $17,500,008 and unrealized appreciation $1,418,300,937.
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016 were as follows: ordinary income $45,171,712 and $44,021,942, and long-term capital gains $21,940,239 and $12,102,938, respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2017, 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 $672,098 and increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by the same amount. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.

NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:
The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in an $830 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. Prior to October 4, 2017, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $810 million. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing.
The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the facilities during the period ended October 31, 2017 was approximately $351,000 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.63%.
NOTE 3—Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an investment management agreement with Dreyfus, Dreyfus 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. Dreyfus 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 Dreyfus a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of .20% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Out of its fee, Dreyfus pays all of the expenses of the fund except brokerage fees, taxes, interest expense, commitment fees on borrowings, fees and expenses of non-interested Directors (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, Dreyfus is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Directors (including counsel fees). During the period ended October 31, 2017, fees reimbursed by Dreyfus amounted to $190,913.
(b) The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $442,581, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $15,706.
(c) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.

NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term securities and financial futures, during the period ended October 31, 2017, amounted to $145,660,106 and $198,592,764, respectively.
Derivatives: A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. Each type of derivative instrument that was held by the fund during the period ended October 31, 2017 is discussed below.
Futures: In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the fund is exposed to market risk, including equity price risk, as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments. The fund invests in futures in order to manage its exposure to or protect against changes in the market. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or a sale of an asset at a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, these investments require initial margin deposits with a counterparty, which consist of cash or cash equivalents. The amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of Trade on which the contract is traded and is subject to change. Accordingly, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses which are recorded in the Statement of Operations. When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss which is reflected in the Statement of Operations. There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the fund with futures since they are exchange traded, and the exchange guarantees the futures against default. Futures open at October 31, 2017 are set forth in the Statement of Futures.
The following summarizes the average market value of derivatives outstanding during the period ended October 31, 2017:
| | |
| | Average Market Value ($) |
Equity futures | | 32,529,037 |
| | |
At October 31, 2017, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $1,193,583,070; accordingly, accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments inclusive of derivative contracts was $1,418,300,937, consisting of $1,471,293,338 gross unrealized appreciation and $52,992,401 gross unrealized depreciation.
NOTE 5—Pending Legal Matters:
The fund and many other entities have been named as defendants in numerous pending litigations as a result of their participation in the
34
leveraged buyout transaction (“LBO”) of the Tribune Company (“Tribune”). The cases allege that Tribune took on billions of dollars of debt in the LBO to purchase its own stock from shareholders at $34 per share. The LBO was executed in a two-step transaction: shares were repurchased by Tribune in a tender offer in June 2007 and then in a go-private merger in December 2007. In 2008, approximately one year after the LBO was concluded, Tribune filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11. Thereafter, in approximately June 2011, certain Tribune creditors filed dozens of complaints in various courts throughout the country alleging that the payments made to shareholders in the LBO were “fraudulent conveyances” under state and/or federal law, and that the shareholders must return the payments they received for their shares to satisfy the plaintiffs’ unpaid claims. These cases were consolidated for coordinated pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York titled In re Tribune Company Fraudulent Conveyance Litigation (S.D.N.Y. Nos. 11-md-2296 and 12-mc-2296 (RJS) (“Tribune MDL”)).
In addition, there was a case pending in United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware brought by the Unsecured Creditors Committee of the Tribune Company that has since been transferred to the Tribune MDL (formerly The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Tribune Co. v. FitzSimons, et al., Bankr. D. Del. Adv. Pro. No. 10-54010 (KJC)) (“FitzSimons case”). The case was originally filed on November 1, 2010. In a Fourth Amended Complaint filed in November 2012, among other claims, the Creditors Committee sought recovery under the Bankruptcy Code for alleged “fraudulent conveyances” from more than 5,000 Tribune shareholders (“Shareholder Defendants”), including the fund, and a defendants’ class of all shareholders who tendered their Tribune stock in the LBO and received cash in exchange. There were 35 other counts in the Fourth Amended Complaint that did not relate to claims against Shareholder Defendants, but instead were brought against parties directly involved in approval or execution of the leveraged buyout. On January 10, 2013, pursuant to the Tribune bankruptcy plan, Mark S. Kirchner, as Litigation Trustee for the Tribune Litigation Trust, became the successor plaintiff to the Creditors Committee in this case. The case is now proceeding as: Mark S. Kirchner, as Litigation Trustee for the Tribune Litigation Trust v. FitzSimons, et al., S.D.N.Y. No. 12-cv-2652 (RJS). On August 1, 2013, the plaintiff filed a Fifth Amended Complaint with the Court. The Fifth Amended Complaint contains more detailed allegations regarding the steps Tribune took in consideration and execution of the LBO, but did not change the legal basis for the claim previously alleged against the Shareholder Defendants.
35
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
On November 6, 2012, a motion to dismiss was filed in the Tribune MDL that applied to most, but not all, of the cases in the Tribune MDL. On September 23, 2013 Judge Sullivan granted the motion to dismiss on standing grounds, after rejecting defendants’ preemption arguments. By granting the motion, Judge Sullivan dismissed nearly 50 cases in the Tribune MDL. The fund was a defendant in at least one of the dismissed cases. The motion had no effect on the FitzSimons case, which had been stayed.
On September 30, 2013, plaintiffs appealed the motion to dismiss decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On October 28, 2013, certain defendants cross-appealed from Judge Sullivan’s decision, seeking review of the arguments that Judge Sullivan rejected in his decision. On March 29, 2016, the Second Circuit issued its decision on the appeal and cross-appeal. A panel of three judges unanimously affirmed the dismissal on the ground that the plaintiffs’ claims were preempted by section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. On April 12, 2016, the plaintiffs/appellants filed a petition with the Second Circuit requesting rehearing of the appeal by the same panel of judges and/or rehearing en banc by all judges on the Second Circuit. On July 22, 2016, the Second Circuit denied both requests for rehearing. On September 9, 2016, Plaintiffs filed a petition for certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court. A brief in opposition to the petition was filed on behalf of defendants on October 24, 2016. Plaintiffs filed a reply brief on November 4, 2016. As of December 6, 2017, the Supreme Court had not ruled on the petition.
In the FitzSimons case, a “global” motion to dismiss the fraudulent transfer claim asserted against the Shareholder Defendants, which applies equally to all Shareholder Defendants including the fund, was filed on May 23, 2014 and briefing was completed in July 2014. On January 9, 2017, Judge Sullivan entered an order granting the “global” motion and dismissing the claim against all the Shareholder Defendants. On February 2, 2017, the plaintiff filed a request to seek leave to appeal with the court. On February 23, 2017, the Court entered an order stating that it would permit the Plaintiff to make an interlocutory appeal of the dismissal of the claim, but only after the Court decided other pending motions to dismiss that do not involve the Shareholder Defendants. As of December 6, 2017, the Court had not decided those other motions.
At this stage in the proceedings, it is not possible to assess with any reasonable certainty the probable outcomes of the pending litigations. Consequently, at this time, management is unable to estimate the possible loss that may result.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Dreyfus Institutional S&P 500 Stock Index Fund (the “Fund”), a series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc., including the statements of investments, investments in affiliated issuers, and futures, as of October 31, 2017, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in 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. 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.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. 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 Institutional S&P 500 Stock Index Fund as of October 31, 2017, 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.

A LETTER FROM THE CEO OF DREYFUS
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2017. For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as general market perspectives, we provide a Discussion of Fund Performance on the pages that follow.
Stocks set a series of new record highs and bonds produced mixed results over the past year in response to changing economic and political conditions. Financial markets at the start of the reporting period were dominated by the election of a new U.S. presidential administration. Equities and corporate-backed bonds surged higher in anticipation of more business-friendly regulatory, tax, and fiscal policies, but high-quality bonds generally lost value due to expectations of rising interest rates and accelerating inflation in a stronger economy. Despite a series of short-term interest-rate hikes, bonds recovered their previous losses over the first 10 months of 2017 when it became clearer that pro-growth legislation would take time and political capital to enact. U.S. and international stocks continued to rally as corporate earnings grew and global economic conditions improved.
The markets’ recent strong performance has been supported by solid underlying fundamentals. While we currently expect these favorable conditions to persist, we remain watchful for economic and political developments that could derail the markets. As always, we encourage you to discuss the risks and opportunities of today’s investment environment with your financial advisor.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.
Sincerely,

Mark D. Santero
Chief Executive Officer
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period from November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2017, as provided by David Leduc, CFA and Brendan Murphy, CFA, Portfolio Managers
Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2017, Dreyfus Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund’s Class A shares produced a total return of 6.12%, Class C shares returned 5.34%, Class I shares returned 6.31%, and Class Y shares returned 6.33%.1 In comparison, the Citi One-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (the “Index”) achieved a total return of 0.67% for the same period.2
Fixed-income securities across a variety of regional markets produced solidly positive total returns over the reporting period when moderating long-term interest rates and muted inflation offset earlier market weakness stemming from expectations of greater economic growth. The fund outperformed the Index, primarily due to its exposure to higher-yielding bond market sectors.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks to maximize total return through capital appreciation and income. To pursue its goal, we typically allocate the fund’s assets across four sectors of the fixed-income market: U.S. high yield bonds rated below investment grade; U.S. government, investment-grade corporate, mortgage- and asset-backed securities; foreign debt securities of developed markets; and foreign debt securities of emerging markets.
The fund is managed using a blend of macroeconomic, quantitative and fundamental analysis. Through security selection and tactical allocation across fixed-income asset classes and sectors, countries and currencies, we seek to construct a portfolio comprised of the best opportunities to produce absolute returns with low correlation with, and less volatility than, major markets over the long term.
Economic and Political Developments Drove Bond Markets
Longer-term interest rates rose sharply in the weeks following the U.S. presidential election in November 2016, causing prices of U.S. government securities to decline. Rates moved higher in response to expectations that a new presidential administration’s more business-friendly regulatory, tax, and fiscal policies would boost U.S. economic growth and inflationary pressures. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) implemented a long-awaited increase in short-term interest rates in December 2016.
In 2017, evidence of stronger global economic growth in overseas markets prompted a gradual move among central banks away from the aggressively accommodative monetary policies of the past few years. In the United States, short-term interest rates continued to rise when the Fed implemented two more increases in the overnight federal funds rate over the first 10 months of the year. In contrast, long-term U.S. interest rates moderated, giving back some, but not all, of the post-election spike when inflationary pressures remained muted and investors came to realize that some government policy reforms were far from certain. Meanwhile, corporate-backed bonds continued to produce robust returns in an environment of growing corporate earnings.

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Allocation Strategy Bolstered Fund Results
The fund’s performance benefited over the reporting period from our sector allocation strategy. Most notably, exposure to investment-grade corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, high yield securities, and emerging-market debt helped the fund participate in their higher yields and the benefits of narrowing yield differences along the market’s credit-quality spectrum. The fund’s performance was further enhanced by our country allocation strategy, in which investments in bonds and currencies in Portugal, Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil fared especially well. Positions in the emerging markets also gained value as commodity prices stabilized, protectionism fears waned, and the U.S. dollar weakened against most other currencies.
In most markets, we maintained the fund’s average duration in a range that was slightly shorter than bond market averages. This positioning helped cushion the negative impact of rising long-term interest rates over the final weeks of 2016, but it mildly constrained the benefits of moderating rates in 2017.
Disappointments proved to be relatively mild during the reporting period. Most notably, the fund’s holdings of inflation-linked bonds in the United States, New Zealand, and Japan lagged other bond market sectors in the low-inflation environment. Despite their recent relative weakness, we believe that inflation-linked securities have become more attractively valued and can provide valuable portfolio protection against unexpected accelerations of inflation.
At times during the reporting period, the fund employed option contracts, futures contracts, and forward contracts to manage its interest-rate and currency exposures.
Positioned for Continued Economic Growth
The global economy has continued to expand, and many analysts expect moderate growth to persist over the months ahead. Inflationary pressures may increase in this environment, and most analysts anticipate additional short-term interest-rate hikes and balance-sheet normalization from the Fed and other central banks as they move gradually toward less stimulative monetary policies.
Therefore, we have retained a generally defensive investment posture, including relatively low durations in markets where interest rates seem poised to rise, such as the Eurozone and the United Kingdom. On the other hand, we have maintained the fund’s emphasis on
4
higher-yielding bond market sectors, including corporate- and asset-backed securities, that could continue to benefit from improving global business conditions.

1 Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid, and does not take into consideration the maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares, or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge imposed on redemptions in the case of Class C shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Class I and Class Y shares are not subject to any initial or deferred sales charges. Share price, yield, and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Return figures provided reflect the absorption of certain fund expenses by The Dreyfus Corporation pursuant to an agreement in effect through March 1, 2018, at which time it may be extended, modified, or terminated. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
² Source: Lipper Inc. — The Citi One-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index consists of the last one-month Treasury bill month-end rates. The Citi One-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index measures return equivalents of yield averages. The instruments are not marked to market. Investors cannot invest directly in any index.
Bonds are subject generally to interest-rate, credit, liquidity, and market risks, to varying degrees, all of which are more fully described in the fund’s prospectus. Generally, all other factors being equal, bond prices are inversely related to interest-rate changes, and rate increases can cause price declines.
High yield bonds are subject to increased credit risk and are considered speculative in terms of the issuer’s perceived ability to continue making interest payments on a timely basis and to repay principal upon maturity.
Foreign bonds are subject to special risks, including exposure to currency fluctuations, changing political and economic conditions, and potentially less liquidity. These risks are generally greater with emerging market countries than with more economically and politically established foreign countries.
Investments in foreign currencies are subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedged positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline relative to the currency being hedged. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. A decline in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar will reduce the value of securities held by the fund and denominated in those currencies. The use of leverage may magnify the fund’s gains or losses. For derivatives with a leveraging component, adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset can result in a loss that is much greater than the original investment in the derivative.
The fund may use derivative instruments, such as options, futures, options on futures, forward contracts, swaps (including credit default swaps on corporate bonds and asset-backed securities), options on swaps, and other credit derivatives. A small investment in derivatives could have a potentially large impact on the fund’s performance. The use of derivatives involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—Significant Accounting Policies:
Dreyfus Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund (the “fund”) is a separate non-diversified series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc. (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 eight series, including the fund. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to maximize total return through capital appreciation and income. The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser.
Effective March 31, 2017, the fund authorized the issuance of Class T shares, but, as of the date of this report, the fund did not offer Class T shares for purchase. The fund authorized 100 million Class T shares which resulted in the fund's total authorized shares increasing from 400 million to 500 million.
MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, is the distributor of the fund’s shares. The fund is authorized to issue 100 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock in each of the following classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class I, Class T and Class Y. Class A, Class C and Class T shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear Distribution and/or Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class A and Class T shares generally are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class I shares are sold primarily to bank trust departments and other financial service providers (including The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, and its affiliates), acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or an investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no Distribution or Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value per share generally to institutional investors, and bear no Distribution or Shareholder Services Plan fees. Class I and Class Y shares are offered without a front-end sales charge or CDSC. Other differences between the classes include the services offered to and the expenses borne by each class, the allocation of certain transfer agency costs, and certain voting rights. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
36
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 (“ASC”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the fund’s investments relating to fair value measurements. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1—unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
37
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:
Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value and are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in securities, floating rate loan interests and other securities, excluding short-term investments (other than U.S. Treasury Bills), futures, options and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) are valued each business day by an independent pricing service (the “Service”) approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). 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 the following: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
U.S. Treasury Bills are valued at the mean price between quoted bid prices and asked prices by the Service. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Service is engaged under the general supervision of the Board.
When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined to not accurately reflect fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board. Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.
38
For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investments denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange.
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 and are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Options traded over-the-counter (“OTC”) are valued at the mean between the bid and asked price and are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments in swap agreements are valued each business day by the Service. 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 and are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Forward contracts are valued at the forward rate and are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2017 in valuing the fund’s investments:

†† Amount shown represents unrealized appreciation (depreciation) at period end.
At October 31, 2017, 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) Foreign currency transactions: The fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized on securities transactions between trade and settlement date, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments resulting from changes in exchange rates. Foreign currency gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are also included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
(c) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.
40
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 The Bank of New York Mellon, 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. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by Dreyfus, or U.S. Government and Agency securities. The fund is entitled to receive all dividends, interest and distributions on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result of the lending transaction. Should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner, The Bank of New York Mellon is required to replace the securities for the benefit of the fund or credit the fund with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the fund’s rights against the borrower and the collateral. Additionally, the contractual maturity of security lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. During the period ended October 31, 2017, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $2,584 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
(d) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” under the Act.
(e) 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 conditions that are not specifically related to a particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment. Such values may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry.
The fund invests in floating rate loan interests. The floating rate loans in which the fund invests typically are below investment grade securities, and inherently speculative. In the event of the bankruptcy of a borrower, the fund could experience delays or limitations imposed by insolvency laws with respect to its ability to realize the benefits of any collateral securing the borrower’s loan.

(f) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net are normally declared and paid on a monthly basis. 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. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
On October 31, 2017, the Board declared a cash dividend of $.031, $.025, $.033 and $.033 per share from undistributed investment income-net for Class A, Class C, Class I and Class Y shares, respectively, payable on November 1, 2017 (ex-dividend date), to shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 31, 2017.
(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.
As of and during the period ended October 31, 2017, 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 October 31, 2017, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2017 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2017, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $2,490,746, accumulated capital losses $113,735,125 and unrealized appreciation $2,153,862.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, 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 net realized capital gains, if any,
42
realized subsequent to October 31, 2017. The fund has $72,975,945 short-term capital losses and $40,759,180 of long-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 October 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016 were as follows: ordinary income $4,283,981 and $25,379,170 , respectively.
During the period ended October 31, 2017, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, primarily due to the tax treatment for paydown gains and losses, foreign currency transactions and swap periodic payments, the fund decreased accumulated undistributed investment income-net by $860,933 and increased accumulated net realized gain (loss) on investments by the same amount. Net assets and net asset value per share were not affected by this reclassification.
NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:
The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in an $830 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. Prior to October 4, 2017, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $810 million. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing. During the period ended October 31, 2017, the fund did not borrow under the Facilities.
NOTE 3—Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with Dreyfus, the management fee is computed at the annual rate of .50% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets and is payable monthly. Dreyfus has contractually agreed, from November 1, 2016 through March 1, 2018, to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the expenses of the fund, so that the expenses of Class A, C, I and Y shares (excluding Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan fees, Shareholder Services Plan fees, taxes, interest expense, brokerage commissions, commitment fees on borrowings and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed .65% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. The reduction in expenses, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $143,866 during the period ended October 31, 2017.
43
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
During the period ended October 31, 2017, the Distributor retained $146 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A shares and $446 from CDSCs on redemptions of the fund’s Class C shares.
(b) Under the Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, Class C shares pay the Distributor for distributing its shares at an annual rate of .75% of the value of its average daily net assets. During the period ended October 31, 2017, Class C shares were charged $167,498 pursuant to the Distribution Plan.
(c) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, Class A and Class C shares pay the Distributor at an annual rate of .25% of the value of their average daily net assets for the provision of certain services. The services provided may include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding the fund and providing reports and other information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Distributor may make payments to Service Agents (securities dealers, financial institutions or other industry professionals) with respect to these services. The Distributor determines the amounts to be paid to Service Agents. During the period ended October 31, 2017, Class A and Class C shares were charged $104,937 and $55,833, respectively, pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.
Under its terms, the Distribution Plan and Shareholder Services Plan shall remain in effect from year to year, provided such continuance is approved annually by a vote of a majority of those Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of or in any agreement related to the Distribution Plan or Shareholder Services Plan.
The fund has arrangements with the transfer agent and the custodian whereby the fund may receive earnings credits when positive cash balances are maintained, which are used to offset transfer agency and custody fees. For financial reporting purposes, the fund includes net earnings credits as an expense offset in the Statement of Operations.
The fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, under a transfer agency agreement for providing transfer agency and cash management services for the fund. The majority of transfer agency fees are comprised of amounts paid on a per account basis, while cash management fees are related to fund subscriptions and redemptions. During the period ended October 31, 2017, the fund was charged $10,367 for transfer agency services and $604 for cash management services. These fees are included in Shareholder servicing
44
costs in the Statement of Operations. Cash management fees were offset by earnings credits of $604.
The fund compensates The Bank of New York Mellon under a custody agreement for providing custodial services for the fund. These fees are determined based on net assets, geographic region and transaction activity. During the period ended October 31, 2017, the fund was charged $35,409 pursuant to the custody agreement. These fees were partially offset by earnings credits of $933.
During the period ended October 31, 2017, the fund was charged $11,224 for services performed by the Chief Compliance Officer and his staff.
The components of “Due to The Dreyfus Corporation and affiliates” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities consist of: management fees $51,566, Distribution Plan fees $11,461, Shareholder Services Plan fees $11,043, custodian fees $7,793, Chief Compliance Officer fees $6,538 and transfer agency fees $1,302, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $18,430.
(d) Each Board member also serves as a Board member of other funds within the Dreyfus complex. Annual retainer fees and attendance fees are allocated to each fund based on net assets.
NOTE 4—Securities Transactions:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales (including paydowns) of investment securities, excluding short-term securities, futures, options transactions, forward contracts and swap agreements during the period ended October 31, 2017, amounted to $116,626,598 and $178,234,211, respectively.
Floating Rate Loan Interests: Floating rate instruments are loans and other securities with interest rates that adjust or “float” periodically. Floating rate loans are made by banks and other financial institutions to their corporate clients. The rates of interest on the loans adjust periodically by reference to a base lending rate, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a premium or credit spread. Floating rate loans reset on periodic set dates, typically 30 to 90 days, but not to exceed one year. The fund may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan. A different series or tranche may have varying terms and carry different associated risks.
Derivatives: A derivative is a financial instrument whose performance is derived from the performance of another asset. The fund enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements or similar agreements (collectively, “Master Agreements”) with its OTC
45
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
derivative contract counterparties in order to, among other things, reduce its credit risk to counterparties. Master Agreements include provisions for general obligations, representations, collateral and events of default or termination. Under a Master Agreement, the fund may offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment in the event of default or termination.
Each type of derivative instrument that was held by the fund during the period ended October 31, 2017 is discussed below.
Futures: In the normal course of pursuing its investment objective, the fund is exposed to market risk, including interest rate risk, as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments. The fund invests in futures in order to manage its exposure to or protect against changes in the market. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or a sale of an asset at a specified date. Upon entering into such contracts, these investments require initial margin deposits with a counterparty, which consist of cash or cash equivalents. 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. Accordingly, variation margin payments are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses which are recorded in the Statement of Operations. When the contracts are closed, the fund recognizes a realized gain or loss which is reflected in the Statement of Operations. There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the fund with futures since they are exchange traded, and the exchange guarantees the futures against default. Futures open at October 31, 2017 are set forth in the Statement of Futures.
Options Transactions: The fund purchases and writes (sells) put and call options to hedge against changes in the values of interest rates and foreign currencies, or as a substitute for an investment. The fund is subject to market risk, interest rate risk and currency risk in the course of pursuing its investment objectives through its investments in options contracts. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the writer to sell, the underlying financial instrument at the exercise price at any time during the option period, or at a specified date. Conversely, a put option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to sell, and obligates the writer to buy the underlying financial instrument at the exercise price at any time during the option period, or at a specified date.
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 instrument underlying the option. Generally, the fund realizes a
46
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 incurs 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 instrument underlying the option. Generally, the fund realizes 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 incurs a loss if the price of the financial instrument decreases between those dates.
As a writer of an option, the fund has no control over whether the underlying financial instrument may be sold (call) or purchased (put) and as a result bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the financial instrument underlying the written option. There is a risk of loss from a change in value of such options which may exceed the related premiums received. This risk is mitigated by Master Agreements between the fund and the counterparty and the posting of collateral, if any, by the counterparty to the fund to cover the fund’s exposure to the counterparty. The Statement of Operations reflects any unrealized gains or losses which occurred during the period as well as any realized gains or losses which occurred upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction. Options written open at October 31, 2017 are set forth in Statement of Options Written.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: The fund enters into forward contracts in order to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on its foreign portfolio holdings, to settle foreign currency transactions or as a part of its investment strategy. When executing forward 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 contracts, the fund incurs 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 contracts, the fund incurs 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. Any realized or unrealized gains or losses which occurred during the period are reflected in the Statement of Operations. The fund is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of changes in value of underlying financial instruments. The fund is also
47
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
exposed to credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance on these forward contracts, which is generally limited to the unrealized gain on each open contract. This risk may be mitigated by Master Agreements, if any, between the fund and the counterparty and the posting of collateral, if any, by the counterparty to the fund to cover the fund’s exposure to the counterparty. Forward contracts open at October 31, 2017 are set forth in the Statement of Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts.
Swap Agreements: The fund enters into swap agreements to exchange the interest rate on, or return generated by, one nominal instrument for the return generated by another nominal instrument. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market or centrally cleared. The fund enters into these agreements to hedge certain market or interest rate risks, to manage the interest rate sensitivity (sometimes called duration) of fixed income securities, to provide a substitute for purchasing or selling particular securities or to increase potential returns.
For OTC swaps, the fund accrues for interim payments on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Once the interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as a realized gain (loss) on swaps, in addition to realized gain (loss) recorded upon the termination of swap agreements in the Statement of Operations. Upfront payments made and/or received by the fund, are recorded as an asset and/or liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain or loss ratably over the agreement’s term/event with the exception of forward starting interest rate swaps which are recorded as realized gains or losses on the termination date.
Upon entering into centrally cleared swap agreements, an initial margin deposit is required with a counterparty, which consists of cash or cash equivalents. The amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange on which the agreement is traded and is subject to change. The change in valuation of centrally cleared swaps is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including upon termination, are recorded as realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.
Fluctuations in the value of swap agreements are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap agreements.
Interest Rate Swaps: Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of commitments to pay and receive interest based on a notional principal amount. The fund may elect to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate,
48
or receive a fixed rate and pay a floating rate on a notional principal amount. The net interest received or paid on interest rate swap agreements is included within realized gain (loss) on swap agreements in the Statement of Operations. Interest rate swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and interest rate risk.
For OTC swaps, the fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk is the discounted value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the agreement’s remaining life, to the extent that the amount is positive. This risk may be mitigated by Master Agreements, if any, between the fund and the counterparty and the posting of collateral, if any, by the counterparty to the fund to cover the fund’s exposure to the counterparty. There is minimal counterparty risk to the fund with centrally cleared swaps since they are settled through an exchange and the exchange guarantees these swap against default. Interest rate swaps open at October 31, 2017 are set forth in the Statement of Swap Agreements.
Credit Default Swaps: 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 obligation or index) occurs. Credit events may include a failure to pay interest or principal, bankruptcy, or restructuring. The fund enters into these agreements to manage its exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce its risk exposure to defaults of corporate and sovereign issuers, or to create exposure to corporate or sovereign issuers to which it is not otherwise exposed. For those credit default swaps in which the fund is paying a fixed rate, the fund is buying credit protection on the instrument. In the event of a credit event, the fund would receive the full notional amount for the reference obligation. For those credit default swaps in which the fund is receiving a fixed rate, the fund is selling credit protection on the underlying instrument. The maximum payouts for these agreements are limited to the notional amount of each swap. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the fund had invested in the reference obligation directly and are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. This risk may be mitigated by Master Agreements, if any, between the fund and the counterparty and the posting of collateral, if any, by the counterparty to the fund to cover the fund’s exposure to the counterparty. At October 31, 2017, there were no credit default swap agreements outstanding.
The following tables show the fund’s exposure to different types of market risk as it relates to the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statement of Operations, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Dreyfus Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund (the “Fund”), a series of The Dreyfus/Laurel Funds, Inc., including the statements of investments, investments in affiliated issuers, futures, options written, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and swap agreements, as of October 31, 2017, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or period in the five-year period then ended. 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.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. 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 Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund as of October 31, 2017, 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 or period in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE RENEWAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited)
At a meeting of the fund’s Board of Directors held on July 26-27, 2017, the Board considered the renewal of the fund’s Management Agreement, pursuant to which Dreyfus provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services (the “Agreement”). The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund, were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from Dreyfus representatives. In considering the renewal of the Agreement, the Board considered all factors that it believed to be relevant, including those discussed below. The Board did not identify any one factor as dispositive, and each Board member may have attributed different weights to the factors considered.
Analysis of Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund. The Board considered information provided to them at the meeting and in previous presentations from Dreyfus representatives regarding the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to funds in the Dreyfus fund complex. Dreyfus provided the number of open accounts in the fund, the fund’s asset size and the allocation of fund assets among distribution channels. Dreyfus also had previously provided information regarding the diverse intermediary relationships and distribution channels of funds in the Dreyfus fund complex (such as retail direct or intermediary, in which intermediaries typically are paid by the fund and/or Dreyfus) and Dreyfus’ corresponding need for broad, deep, and diverse resources to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each intermediary or distribution channel, as applicable to the fund.
The Board also considered research support available to, and portfolio management capabilities of, the fund’s portfolio management personnel and that Dreyfus also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements. The Board also considered Dreyfus’ extensive administrative, accounting, and compliance infrastructures.
Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Performance and Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board reviewed reports prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data, which included information comparing (1) the fund’s performance with the performance of a group of comparable funds (the “Performance Group”) and with a broader group of funds (the “Performance Universe”), all for various periods ended June 30, 2017, and (2) the fund’s actual and contractual management fees and total expenses with those of a group of comparable funds (the “Expense Group”) and with a broader group of funds (the “Expense Universe”), the information for which was derived in part from fund financial statements available to Broadridge as of the date of its analysis. Dreyfus previously had furnished the Board with a description of the methodology Broadridge used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe and the Expense Group and Expense Universe.
Dreyfus representatives stated that the usefulness of performance comparisons may be affected by a number of factors, including different investment limitations that may be

applicable to the fund and comparison funds. The Board discussed with representatives of Dreyfus and/or its affiliates the results of the comparisons and considered that the fund’s total return performance was below the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians the various periods, except for the one- and ten-year periods when the fund’s performance was above the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians. The Board also considered that the fund’s yield performance was at or above the Performance Group median in five of the ten one-year periods ended June 30th and was at or above the Performance Universe median eight of the ten one-year periods ended June 30th. Dreyfus also provided a comparison of the fund’s calendar year total returns to the returns of the fund’s benchmark index showing that the fund’s return was higher than the return of the index in six of the ten years shown.
Representatives of Dreyfus and its affiliates discussed and expressed confidence in the investment approach notwithstanding the fund’s total return performance. They also reminded the Board of the addition of Brendan Murphy as a primary portfolio manager to the fund in August 2016 and additional steps taken by Dreyfus and its affiliates in an effort to improve fund performance. Representatives of Dreyfus stated that the fund’s recent performance had improved, noting that the fund’s total return performance for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2017 ranked in the second and first quartile, respectively, of the fund’s Lipper category.
The Board also reviewed the range of actual and contractual management fees and total expenses of the Expense Group and Expense Universe funds and discussed the results of the comparisons. The Board considered that the fund’s contractual management fee was below the Expense Group median and the fund’s actual management fee and expense ratio were below the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians.
Dreyfus representatives stated that Dreyfus had contractually agreed until March 1, 2018, to waive receipt of its fees and/or assume the expenses of the fund, so that annual direct fund operating expenses of its Class A, C, I and Y shares (excluding Rule 12b-1 fees, shareholder services fees, taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, commitment fees on borrowings and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.65% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Dreyfus representatives reviewed with the Board the management or investment advisory fees (1) paid by funds advised or administered by Dreyfus that are in the same Broadridge category as the fund and (2) paid to Dreyfus or the Dreyfus-affiliated primary employer of the fund’s primary portfolio manager(s) for advising any separate accounts and/or other types of client portfolios that are considered to have similar investment strategies and policies as the fund (the “Similar Clients”), and explained the nature of the Similar Clients. They discussed differences in fees paid and the relationship of the fees paid in light of any differences in the services provided and other relevant factors. The Board considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Clients to evaluate the appropriateness of the fund’s management fee.
Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. Dreyfus representatives reviewed the expenses allocated and profit received by Dreyfus and its affiliates and the resulting
57
INFORMATION ABOUT THE RENEWAL OF THE FUND’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (continued)
profitability percentage for managing the fund and the aggregate profitability percentage to Dreyfus and its affiliates for managing the funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and the method used to determine the expenses and profit. The Board concluded that the profitability results were not unreasonable, given the services rendered and service levels provided by Dreyfus. The Board also had been provided with information prepared by an independent consulting firm regarding Dreyfus’ approach to allocating costs to, and determining the profitability of, individual funds and the entire Dreyfus fund complex. The consulting firm also had analyzed where any economies of scale might emerge in connection with the management of a fund.
The Board considered, on the advice of its counsel, the profitability analysis (1) as part of its evaluation of whether the fees under the Agreement, considered in relation to the mix of services provided by Dreyfus, including the nature, extent and quality of such services, supported the renewal of the Agreement and (2) in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders. Dreyfus representatives stated that a discussion of economies of scale is predicated on a fund having achieved a substantial size with increasing assets and that, if a fund’s assets had been stable or decreasing, the possibility that Dreyfus may have realized any economies of scale would be less. Dreyfus representatives also stated that, as a result of shared and allocated costs among funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, the extent of economies of scale could depend substantially on the level of assets in the complex as a whole, so that increases and decreases in complex-wide assets can affect potential economies of scale in a manner that is disproportionate to, or even in the opposite direction from, changes in the fund’s asset level. The Board also considered potential benefits to Dreyfus from acting as investment adviser and took into consideration that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect for trading the fund’s investments.
At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to the renewal of the Agreement. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board concluded and determined as follows.
· The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Dreyfus are adequate and appropriate.
· The Board considered the fund’s improved total return performance.
· The Board concluded that the fee paid to Dreyfus continued to be appropriate under the circumstances and in light of the factors and the totality of the services provided as discussed above, subject to review no later than the next renewal consideration.
· The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to Dreyfus and its affiliates in connection with the management of the fund had been adequately considered by Dreyfus in connection with the fee rate charged
58
to the fund pursuant to the Agreement and that, to the extent in the future it were determined that material economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund.
In evaluating the Agreement, the Board considered these conclusions and determinations and also relied on its previous knowledge, gained through meetings and other interactions with Dreyfus and its affiliates, of Dreyfus and the services provided to the fund by Dreyfus. The Board also relied on information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year relating to the operations of the fund and the investment management and other services provided under the Agreement, including information on the investment performance of the fund in comparison to similar mutual funds and benchmark performance indices; general market outlook as applicable to the fund; and compliance reports. In addition, the Board’s consideration of the contractual fee arrangements for this fund had the benefit of a number of years of reviews of the Agreement for the fund, or substantially similar agreements for other Dreyfus funds that the Board oversees, during which lengthy discussions took place between the Board and Dreyfus representatives. Certain aspects of the arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than in others, and the Board’s conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of the fund’s arrangements, or similar arrangements for other Dreyfus funds that the Board oversees, in prior years. The Board determined to renew the Agreement through April 4, 2018.

A LETTER FROM THE CEO OF DREYFUS
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this annual report for Dreyfus Tax Managed Growth Fund, covering the 12-month period from November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2017. For information about how the fund performed during the reporting period, as well as general market perspectives, we provide a Discussion of Fund Performance on the pages that follow.
Stocks set a series of new record highs and bonds produced mixed results over the past year in response to changing economic and political conditions. Financial markets at the start of the reporting period were dominated by the election of a new U.S. presidential administration. Equities and corporate-backed bonds surged higher in anticipation of more business-friendly regulatory, tax, and fiscal policies, but high-quality bonds generally lost value due to expectations of rising interest rates and accelerating inflation in a stronger economy. Despite a series of short-term interest-rate hikes, bonds recovered their previous losses over the first 10 months of 2017 when it became clearer that pro-growth legislation would take time and political capital to enact. U.S. and international stocks continued to rally as corporate earnings grew and global economic conditions improved.
The markets’ recent strong performance has been supported by solid underlying fundamentals. While we currently expect these favorable conditions to persist, we remain watchful for economic and political developments that could derail the markets. As always, we encourage you to discuss the risks and opportunities of today’s investment environment with your financial advisor.
Thank you for your continued confidence and support.
Sincerely,

Mark D. Santero
Chief Executive Officer
The Dreyfus Corporation

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
For the period from November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2017, as provided by portfolio manager Fayez Sarofim of Fayez Sarofim & Co., Sub-Investment Adviser
Market and Fund Performance Overview
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2017, Dreyfus Tax Managed Growth Fund’s Class A shares produced a total return of 23.55%, Class C shares returned 22.58%, and Class I shares returned 23.80%.1 In comparison, the S&P 500® Index (the “Index”), the fund’s benchmark, returned 23.61% for the same period.2
Equities advanced strongly over the reporting period amid business-friendly political developments, rising corporate earnings, and expectations of greater global economic growth. The fund produced returns that were roughly in line with the Index.
The Fund’s Investment Approach
The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation consistent with minimizing realized capital gains. To pursue this goal, we normally invest at least 80% of net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in common stocks and employ a tax-managed strategy, which is an approach to managing a fund that seeks to minimize capital gains tax liabilities.
We focus on purchasing large-cap, blue-chip stocks at a price we consider to be justified by a company’s fundamentals. The result is a portfolio of stocks selected for what we consider to be sustained patterns of profitability, strong balance sheets, expanding global presence, and above-average earnings growth potential. At the same time, we manage the fund in a manner cognizant of the concerns of tax-conscious investors. We typically buy and sell relatively few stocks during the course of the year, which may help reduce investors’ tax liabilities.
Economic and Political Developments Drove Markets Higher
The Index delivered impressive performance over the reporting period, setting a series of new highs as strengthening global economic growth and upbeat earnings reports lifted stock prices. Volatility declined and remained below historical averages through most of the reporting period despite halting progress on tax reform legislation, allegations of Russian election interference, and escalating tensions with North Korea. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) implemented three short-term interest-rate hikes, while signs of economic momentum in the Eurozone and Japan fed speculation of moves towards monetary policy normalization in those economies. The stock market’s advance was primarily driven by gains in the information technology sector stemming from impressive revenue and earnings reports from some of the industry group’s largest companies. The telecommunication services sector was the weakest segment of the Index for the reporting period and the only market sector to post negative absolute returns.
Fund Participated Fully in Market’s Gains
The fund produced returns that were roughly in line with the Index over the reporting period. Overweighted exposure and favorable security selections in the information technology sector were the most significantly positive contributors to the fund’s relative performance. Overweighted positions in Apple and semiconductor equipment maker ASML Holding proved particularly advantageous. Stock selections in the health care sector

DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE (continued)
augmented relative results, with notable strength in pharmaceutical developer AbbVie, insurer UnitedHealth Group, and diabetes specialist Novo Nordisk. An underweighted position in the consumer discretionary sector also added value relative to the Index, as did the strategic avoidance of stocks in the telecommunication services, utilities, and real estate sectors. The largest positive contributors to the fund’s relative return, reflecting both performance and weighting, included Apple, Facebook, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Microsoft, and AbbVie.
These strong performers were undercut by a relatively heavy allocation to the lagging consumer staples sector, although favorable stock selections within the sector helped reduce the drag on relative results. In the financials sector, not owning several of the banks with outsized gains was an impediment. Positioning in the industrials sector was also detrimental due to disappointing security selections in the aerospace-and-defense industry as well as lack of exposure to machinery producers. The greatest detractors from the fund’s returns were Walgreens Boots Alliance, Occidental Petroleum, Gilead Sciences, Twenty-First Century Fox, and Whole Foods Market.
Positioned for Monetary Policy Normalization
Within the context of moderate global growth and strong earnings, central banks appear set to shape the final chapter of an unusually calm year for equity markets. In the near term, given the economy’s firm underlying momentum, gradual policy normalization should have a limited impact on the market. However, with the Fed’s initiation of a balance-sheet reduction program in October and the European Central Bank contemplating a tapering of its asset purchases, tighter global liquidity conditions could make 2018 more challenging.
In this environment, we expect investors to focus more intently on the profit fundamentals of large, high-quality, multinational companies with best-in-class business models, entrenched market positions, and highly stable revenue streams. We believe that these industry leaders have the scale and financial flexibility to sustain earnings growth while continuing to invest prudently for the future. Furthermore, in our judgment, their established records of returning capital to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases provide the potential for more consistent returns across business cycles.

1 Total return includes reinvestment of dividends and any capital gains paid, and does not take into consideration the maximum initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge imposed on redemptions in the case of Class C shares. Had these charges been reflected, returns would have been lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price and investment return fluctuate such that upon redemption, fund shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.

The Dreyfus Corporation (the “Manager” or “Dreyfus”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY Mellon”), serves as the fund’s investment adviser. Fayez Sarofim & Co. (“Sarofim & Co.”), serves as the fund’s sub-investment adviser.
Effective March 31, 2017, the fund authorized the issuance of Class T shares, but, as of the date of this report, the fund did not offer Class T shares for purchase. The fund authorized 100 million Class T shares which resulted in the fund’s total authorized shares increasing from 500 million to 600 million.
MBSC Securities Corporation (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dreyfus, is the distributor of the fund’s shares. The fund is authorized to issue 600 million shares of $.001 par value Common Stock. The fund currently has authorized four classes of shares: Class A (300 million shares authorized), Class C (100 million shares authorized), Class I (100 million shares authorized) and Class T (100 million shares authorized). Class A, Class C and Class T shares are sold primarily to retail investors through financial intermediaries and bear Distribution fees and/or Service Plan fees. Class A and Class T shares generally are subject to a sales charge imposed at the time of purchase. Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) imposed on Class C shares redeemed within one year of purchase. Class I shares are sold primarily to bank trust departments and other financial service providers (including The Bank of New York Mellon, a subsidiary of BNY Mellon and an affiliate of Dreyfus, and its affiliates), acting on behalf of customers having a qualified trust or an investment account or relationship at such institution, and bear no Distribution or Service Plan fees. Class I shares are offered without a front-end sales charge or CDSC. 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 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.
(a) Portfolio valuation: The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Additionally, GAAP provides guidance on determining whether the volume and activity in a market has decreased significantly and whether such a decrease in activity results in transactions that are not orderly. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures around valuation inputs and techniques used during annual and interim periods.
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).
20
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Valuation techniques used to value the fund’s investments are as follows:
Investments in securities are valued at the last sales price on the securities exchange or national securities market on which such securities are primarily traded. Securities listed on the National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price that day, at the last sales price. For open short positions, asked prices are used for valuation purposes. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Registered investment companies that are not traded on an exchange are valued at their net asset value. All of the preceding securities are generally categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
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. These securities are generally categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs and futures. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined to not accurately reflect fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the fund calculates its net asset value, the fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Certain factors may be considered when fair valuing investments such as: fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold, and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. These securities are either categorized within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the relevant inputs used.
21
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
For restricted securities where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and are generally categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of October 31, 2017 in valuing the fund’s investments:
| | | | |
| Level 1 - Unadjusted Quoted Prices | Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs | Level 3 -Significant Unobservable Inputs | Total |
Assets ($) | | | |
Investments in Securities: | | | |
Equity Securities - Domestic Common Stocks† | 153,360,528 | - | - | 153,360,528 |
Equity Securities - Foreign Common Stocks† | 20,036,513 | - | - | 20,036,513 |
Registered Investment Company | 4,000,306 | - | - | 4,000,306 |
† See Statement of Investments for additional detailed categorizations.
At October 31, 2017, 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. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including, where applicable, accretion of discount and amortization of premium on investments, is recognized on the accrual basis.
Pursuant to a securities lending agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon, 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. Collateral is either in the form of cash, which can be invested in certain money market mutual funds managed by Dreyfus, or U.S. Government and Agency securities. The fund is entitled to receive all dividends, interest and distributions on securities loaned, in addition to income earned as a result
22
of the lending transaction. Should a borrower fail to return the securities in a timely manner, The Bank of New York Mellon is required to replace the securities for the benefit of the fund or credit the fund with the market value of the unreturned securities and is subrogated to the fund’s rights against the borrower and the collateral. Additionally, the contractual maturity of security lending transactions are on an overnight and continuous basis. During the period ended October 31, 2017, The Bank of New York Mellon earned $1,359 from lending portfolio securities, pursuant to the securities lending agreement.
(c) Affiliated issuers: Investments in other investment companies advised by Dreyfus are defined as “affiliated” under the Act.
(d) Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from investment income-net are normally declared and paid quarterly. 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. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(e) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best interests of its shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes.
As of and during the period ended October 31, 2017, 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 October 31, 2017, the fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each tax year in the four-year period ended October 31, 2017 remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.
At October 31, 2017, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows: undistributed ordinary income $570,831, undistributed capital gains $7,952,218 and unrealized appreciation $87,720,194.
23
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the fiscal periods ended October 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016 were as follows: ordinary income $1,575,388 and $2,059,640, and long-term capital gains $85,357 and $9,013,406, respectively.
NOTE 2—Bank Lines of Credit:
The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in an $830 million unsecured credit facility led by Citibank, N.A. and a $300 million unsecured credit facility provided by The Bank of New York Mellon (each, a “Facility”), each to be utilized primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. Prior to October 4, 2017, the unsecured credit facility with Citibank, N.A. was $810 million. In connection therewith, the fund has agreed to pay its pro rata portion of commitment fees for each Facility. Interest is charged to the fund based on rates determined pursuant to the terms of the respective Facility at the time of borrowing.
The average amount of borrowings outstanding under the Facilities during the period ended October 31, 2017, was approximately $62,200 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 1.65%.
NOTE 3—Investment Management Fee, Sub-Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
(a) Pursuant to an investment management agreement with Dreyfus, Dreyfus provides or arranges for one or more third parties and/or affiliates to provide investment management, administrative, custody, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the fund. Dreyfus 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 Dreyfus a fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.10% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets. Out of its fee, Dreyfus pays all of the expenses of the fund except brokerage fees, taxes, interest expenses, commitment fees on borrowings, Distribution Plan fees and Service Plan fees, fees and expenses of the non-interested Directors (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses. In addition, Dreyfus is required to reduce its fee in an amount equal to the fund’s allocable portion of fees and expenses of the non-interested Directors (including counsel fees). During the period ended October 31, 2017, fees reimbursed by Dreyfus amount to $13,103.
Pursuant to a sub-investment advisory agreement between Dreyfus and Sarofim & Co., Dreyfus pays Sarofim & Co. a monthly fee at an annual rate of .2175% of the value of the fund’s average daily net assets.
24
During the period ended October 31, 2017, the Distributor retained $3,514 from commissions earned on sales of the fund’s Class A share and $251 from CDSCs on redemptions of the fund’s Class C shares.
(b) Under the Distribution Plans adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Distribution Plans”) under the Act, Class A shares pay annually up to .25% of the value of its 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 C shares pay the Distributor for distributing its shares at an aggregate annual rate of .75% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. Class C shares are also subject to a service plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Service Plan”), under which Class C shares pay the Distributor for providing certain services to the holders of their shares, a fee at an annual rate of .25% of the value of the average daily net assets of Class C shares. During the period ended October 31, 2017, Class A and Class C shares were charged $164,887 and $192,798, respectively, pursuant to their Distribution Plans. During the period ended October 31, 2017, Class C shares were charged $64,266 pursuant to the Service Plan.
Under its terms, the Distribution 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 Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of or in any agreement related to the Distribution 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 $164,870, Distribution Plans fees $30,210 and Service Plan fees $5,117, which are offset against an expense reimbursement currently in effect in the amount of $1,288.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE RENEWAL OF THE FUND'S INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited)
At a meeting of the fund’s Board of Directors held on July 26-27, 2017, the Board considered the renewal of the fund’s Investment Management Agreement, pursuant to which Dreyfus provides the fund with investment advisory and administrative services (the “Agreement”), and the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement (together, the “Agreements”), pursuant to which Fayez Sarofim & Co. (the “Subadviser”) provides day-to-day management of the fund’s investments. The Board members, none of whom are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the fund, were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from representatives of Dreyfus and the Subadviser. In considering the renewal of the Agreements, the Board considered all factors that it believed to be relevant, including those discussed below. The Board did not identify any one factor as dispositive, and each Board member may have attributed different weights to the factors considered.
Analysis of Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund. The Board considered information provided to them at the meeting and in previous presentations from Dreyfus representatives regarding the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to funds in the Dreyfus fund complex. Dreyfus provided the number of open accounts in the fund, the fund’s asset size and the allocation of fund assets among distribution channels. Dreyfus also had previously provided information regarding the diverse intermediary relationships and distribution channels of funds in the Dreyfus fund complex (such as retail direct or intermediary, in which intermediaries typically are paid by the fund and/or Dreyfus) and Dreyfus’ corresponding need for broad, deep, and diverse resources to be able to provide ongoing shareholder services to each intermediary or distribution channel, as applicable to the fund.
The Board also considered research support available to, and portfolio management capabilities of, the fund’s portfolio management personnel and that Dreyfus also provides oversight of day-to-day fund operations, including fund accounting and administration and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements. The Board also considered Dreyfus’ extensive administrative, accounting, and compliance infrastructures, as well as Dreyfus’ supervisory activities over the Subadviser. The Board also considered portfolio management’s brokerage policies and practices (including policies and practices regarding soft dollars) and the standards applied in seeking best execution.
Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Performance and Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board reviewed reports prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data, which included information comparing (1) the fund’s performance with the performance of a group of comparable funds (the “Performance Group”) and with a broader group of funds (the “Performance Universe”), all for various periods ended June 30, 2017, and (2) the fund’s actual and contractual management fees and total expenses with those of a group of comparable funds (the “Expense Group”) and with a broader group of funds (the
29
INFORMATION ABOUT THE RENEWAL OF THE FUND'S INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
“Expense Universe”), the information for which was derived in part from fund financial statements available to Broadridge as of the date of its analysis. Dreyfus previously had furnished the Board with a description of the methodology Broadridge used to select the Performance Group and Performance Universe and the Expense Group and Expense Universe.
Dreyfus representatives stated that the usefulness of performance comparisons may be affected by a number of factors, including different investment limitations that may be applicable to the fund and comparison funds. The Board discussed with representatives of Dreyfus, its affiliates and/or the Subadviser the results of the comparisons and considered that the fund’s total return performance was below the Performance Group and Performance Universe medians. Representatives of Dreyfus and the Subadviser stated that the fund’s recent performance had improved, noting that the fund’s total return performance for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2017 ranked in the first quartile in the fund’s Broadridge category. Dreyfus also provided a comparison of the fund’s calendar year total returns to the returns of the fund’s benchmark index showing that the fund’s return was higher than the return of the index in four of the ten years shown.
The Board also reviewed the range of actual and contractual management fees and total expenses of the Expense Group and Expense Universe funds and discussed the results of the comparisons. Taking into account the fund’s “unitary” fee structure, the Board took into consideration that the fund’s contractual management fee was above the Expense Group median and the fund’s actual management fee and total expense ratio were above the Expense Group and Expense Universe medians.
Dreyfus representatives reviewed with the Board the management or investment advisory fees (1) paid by funds advised or administered by Dreyfus that are in the same Broadridge category as the fund and (2) paid to Dreyfus or the Subadviser or its affiliates for advising any separate accounts and/or other types of client portfolios that are considered to have similar investment strategies and policies as the fund (the “Similar Clients”), and explained the nature of the Similar Clients. They discussed differences in fees paid and the relationship of the fees paid in light of any differences in the services provided and other relevant factors, noting the fund’s “unitary” fee structure. The Board considered the relevance of the fee information provided for the Similar Clients to evaluate the appropriateness of the fund’s management fee.
The Board considered the fee to the Subadviser in relation to the fee paid to Dreyfus by the fund and the respective services provided by the Subadviser and Dreyfus. The Board also took into consideration that the Subadviser’s fee is paid by Dreyfus (out of its fee from the fund) and not by the fund.
Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. Dreyfus representatives reviewed the expenses allocated and profit received by Dreyfus and its affiliates and the resulting profitability percentage for managing the fund and the aggregate profitability percentage to Dreyfus and its affiliates for managing the funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, and the method used to determine the expenses and profit. The Board concluded that the
30
profitability results were not unreasonable, given the services rendered and service levels provided by Dreyfus. The Board also had been provided with information prepared by an independent consulting firm regarding Dreyfus’ approach to allocating costs to, and determining the profitability of, individual funds and the entire Dreyfus fund complex. The consulting firm also had analyzed where any economies of scale might emerge in connection with the management of a fund.
The Board considered on the advice of its counsel the profitability analysis (1) as part of its evaluation of whether the fees under the Agreements, considered in relation to the mix of services provided by Dreyfus and the Subadviser, including the nature, extent and quality of such services, supported the renewal of the Agreements and (2) in light of the relevant circumstances for the fund and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of fund shareholders. Since Dreyfus, and not the fund, pays the Subadviser pursuant to the Sub-Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board did not consider the Subadviser’s profitability to be relevant to its deliberations. Dreyfus representatives stated that a discussion of economies of scale is predicated on a fund having achieved a substantial size with increasing assets and that, if a fund’s assets had been stable or decreasing, the possibility that Dreyfus may have realized any economies of scale would be less. Dreyfus representatives also stated that, as a result of shared and allocated costs among funds in the Dreyfus fund complex, the extent of economies of scale could depend substantially on the level of assets in the complex as a whole, so that increases and decreases in complex-wide assets can affect potential economies of scale in a manner that is disproportionate to, or even in the opposite direction from, changes in the fund’s asset level. The Board also considered potential benefits to Dreyfus and the Subadviser from acting as investment adviser and sub-investment adviser, respectively, and took into consideration the soft dollar arrangements in effect for trading the fund’s investments.
At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to the renewal of the Agreements. Based on the discussions and considerations as described above, the Board concluded and determined as follows.
· The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Dreyfus and the Subadviser are adequate and appropriate.
· The Board considered the fund’s improved total return performance, accepting as contributing to the better performance the analytical tools introduced by Dreyfus and applied by the Subadviser.
· The Board concluded that the fees paid to Dreyfus and the Subadviser continued to be appropriate under the circumstances and in light of the factors and the totality of the services provided as discussed above, subject to review no later than the next renewal consideration.
31
INFORMATION ABOUT THE RENEWAL OF THE FUND'S INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued)
· The Board determined that the economies of scale which may accrue to Dreyfus and its affiliates in connection with the management of the fund had been adequately considered by Dreyfus in connection with the fee rate charged to the fund pursuant to the Agreement and that, to the extent in the future it were determined that material economies of scale had not been shared with the fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the fund.
In evaluating the Agreements, the Board considered these conclusions and determinations and also relied on its previous knowledge, gained through meetings and other interactions with Dreyfus and its affiliates and the Subadviser, of Dreyfus and the Subadviser and the services provided to the fund by Dreyfus and the Subadviser. The Board also relied on information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year relating to the operations of the fund and the investment management and other services provided under the Agreements, including information on the investment performance of the fund in comparison to similar mutual funds and benchmark performance indices; general market outlook as applicable to the fund; and compliance reports. In addition, the Board’s consideration of the contractual fee arrangements for this fund had the benefit of a number of years of reviews of the Agreements for the fund, or substantially similar agreements for other Dreyfus funds that the Board oversees, during which lengthy discussions took place between the Board and Dreyfus representatives. Certain aspects of the arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than in others, and the Board’s conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of the fund’s arrangements, or substantially similar arrangements for other Dreyfus funds that the Board oversees, in prior years. The Board determined to renew the Agreements through April 4, 2018.

The pre-approved services in the Policy can include pre-approved audit services, pre-approved audit-related services, pre-approved tax services and pre-approved all other services. Pre-approval considerations include whether the proposed services are compatible with maintaining the Auditor's independence. Pre-approvals pursuant to the Policy are considered annually.
