The following information supersedes and replaces any contrary information contained in the section of the Trust’s Prospectus entitled “Management”:

On July 1, 2007, The Bank of New York Company, Inc. and Mellon Financial Corporation completed their merger to form a new company called The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. As a result, The Dreyfus Corporation (“Dreyfus”), the fund’s investment adviser, previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation, is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.

Dreyfus is the primary mutual fund business of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, a global financial services company focused on helping clients move and manage their financial assets, operating in 37 countries and serving more than 100 markets. The company is a leading provider of financial services for institutions, corporations and high-net-worth individuals, providing superior asset and wealth management, asset servicing, issuer services, and treasury services through a worldwide client-focused team. It has more than $18 trillion in assets under custody and administration and $1 trillion in assets under management, and it services more than $11 trillion in outstanding debt.
