DREYFUS SHORT INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL BOND FUND
SUPPLEMENT TO PROSPECTUS
DATED AUGUST 1, 1999
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SUPPLEMENTS OR REPLACES ANY CONTRARY INFORMATION
CONTAINED IN THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS:
Shares acquired by purchase or exchange after May 30, 2000, and redeemed
or exchanged less than 30 days after they are acquired, will be subject to a
redemption fee of 0.10% of the value of the shares redeemed or exchanged. The
redemption fee will be retained by the Fund and used primarily to offset the
transaction costs that short-term trading imposes on the Fund and its
shareholders. For purposes of calculating the 30-day holding period, the Fund
will employ the "first in, first out" method, which assumed that the shares
redeemed or exchanged are the ones held the longest.
No redemption fee will be charged on the redemption or exchange of shares
(1) through the Fund's Automatic Withdrawal Plan or Dreyfus Auto-Exchange
Privilege, (2) through accounts that are reflected on the records of the
Transfer Agent as omnibus accounts approved by Dreyfus Service Corporation, (3)
through accounts established by securities dealers, banks or other financial
institutions approved by Dreyfus Service Corporation that utilize the National
Securities Clearing Corporation's networking system, or (4) acquired through the
reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions. The redemption fee may
be waived, modified or terminated at any time.
