The fund is designed to provide a high degree of share price stability while generating higher returns than money market funds over time and, thus, may be an investment alternative to money market funds and other fixed-income funds.
Morningstar Rating™ as of December 31, 2020 for the Class D class shares; other classes may have different performance characteristics. Overall rating for the Ultrashort Bond category. Fund ratings are out of 5 Stars: Overall 1 Stars (172 funds rated); 3 Yrs. 1 Stars (172 funds rated); 5 Yrs. 1 Stars (131 funds rated). The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products with at least a 3-year history. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance (not including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees if applicable), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. Managed products; including open-end mutual funds, closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds; are considered a single population for comparative purposes. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. ©2018 Morningstar, Inc.

Prior to November 15, 2013, the fund was named Dreyfus Short Intermediate Government Fund and employed a different investment approach. On November 15, 2013, the fund was renamed Dreyfus Short Duration Bond Fund and began implementing a new investment strategy; namely, to invest principally in a broad range of investment-grade fixed-income securities while seeking to maintain an average effective portfolio duration of one year or less. The fund’s investment objective — to seek to maximize total return, consisting of capital appreciation and current income — was not changed. Performance shown for Class D, I, Y and Z shares reflects the fund’s investment approach in effect prior to November 15, 2013. Also, on November 15, 2013, then-current shareholders were classified as Class Z shareholders. Had the current fees and expenses been reflected for periods prior to the fund’s reorganization, performance for such periods may have been higher or lower, depending on the share class.
