LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
    Rising interest rates historically have had a negative impact on utility
stocks. This past year was no exception.
    The total return of the Dreyfus Edison Electric Index Fund was -17.41%
for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994.* This compares with a return of
- -16.93% for the index of stocks of member companies of the Edison Electric
Institute ("the EEI Index").
    The difference between the return of the EEI Index and that of the Fund
is accounted for mainly by the commissions and transaction costs associated
with equity trading, as well as other Fund expenses.
    The stock market as a whole was not very strong during this period, with
the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index advancing only 3.86%
(dividends included) for the 12 months ended October 31, 1994.**
    Rising interest rates held back common stocks as a group. However,
utility stocks were affected more than most by the higher cost of borrowing
money. The change in interest rates was prompted primarily by the Federal
Reserve Board, which raised key interest rates six times since last February
as a so-called preemptive strike against inflation. There were other
influences at work as well. Continued strengthening of the U.S. economy
created more demand for loans. At the same time, credit needs are growing in
other parts of the world as Europe, Japan, other Asian economies, and Latin
America all report economic growth.
    The utility industry also has been affected by a new factor _
competition in supplying power to major customers. In a number of
jurisdictions around the country, regulators are allowing other power
producers to compete with long-established utilities.
    How important this new situation will be to the profitability of the
well-established utility firms remains to be seen. Meanwhile, improving
economic activity in the U.S. is creating more demand for the industry's
services. Over the coming months, the securities market will evaluate these
negative and positive factors.
                              Sincerely,
                              (logo signature)

Past performance is not predictive of future performance.
The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in Dreyfus Edison Electric
Index Fund on 12/6/91 (Inception Date) to a $10,000 investment made in the
Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index on that date. For
comparative purposes, the value of the Index on 11/30/91 is used as the
beginning value on 12/6/91. All dividends and capital gain distributions are
reinvested.
The Fund's performance takes into account applicable fees and expenses. The
Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index is a widely accepted,
unmanaged index of overall stock market performance, which does not take into
account charges, fees and other expenses. Further information relating to
Fund performance, including expense reimbursements, if applicable, is

national securities market, or securities for which there were no
transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked
prices. Bid price is used when no asked price is available. Short-term
investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates value.
    (B) SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities
transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from
securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend
income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income, including,
where applicable, amortization of discount on investments, is recognized on
the accrual basis.
    (C) DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Dividends from investment income-net are declared and paid on a
quarterly basis. Dividends from net realized capital gain 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. To the extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by
capital loss carryovers, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such
gain.
    (D) 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 Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of taxable
income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all Federal income and
excise taxes.
    The Fund has an unused capital loss carryover of approximately $512,000
available for Federal income tax purposes to be applied against future net
securities profits, if any, realized subsequent to October 31, 1994. If not
applied, the carryover expires in fiscal 2002.
NOTE 2_MANAGEMENT FEE, ADMINISTRATION FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH
AFFILIATES:
    (A) Fees paid by the Fund pursuant to the provisions of an Index
Management Agreement with WFNIA and an Administration Agreement with Dreyfus
are payable monthly. WFNIA and Dreyfus receive annual fees of .10 of 1% and
.15 of 1%, respectively, of the average daily value of the Fund's net assets.
The agreements further provide that if the aggregate expenses of the Fund,
exclusive of interest, taxes,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
brokerage and extraordinary expenses, exceed the expense limitation of any
state having jurisdiction over the Fund, the Fund may deduct from the fees to
be paid to each of WFNIA and Dreyfus, or WFNIA and Dreyfus will each bear,
such excess expense in proportion to their respective fees. The most
stringent state expense limitation applicable to the Fund presently requires
reimbursement of expenses in any full fiscal year that such expenses exceed 21
/2% of the first $30 million, 2% of the next $70 million and 11/2% of the
excess over $100 million of the average value of the Fund's net assets in
accordance with California "blue sky" regulations. There was no expense
reimbursement for the year ended October 31, 1994.
    (B) Pursuant to the Fund's Shareholder Services Plan, the Fund reimburses
Dreyfus Service Corporation an amount not to exceed an annual rate of .25 of
1% of the value of the Fund's average daily net assets for servicing
shareholder accounts. 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. During the year ended
October 31, 1994, the Fund was charged an aggregate of $221,890 pursuant to
the Shareholder Services Plan.
    (C) Prior to August 24, 1994, certain officers and directors of the Fund
were "affiliated persons," as defined in the Act, of Dreyfus. Each director
who is not an "affiliated person" receives an annual fee of $2,500 and an
attendance fee of $500 per meeting.
NOTE 3_SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS:
    The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities,
other than short-term securities, for the year ended October 31, 1994
amounted to $7,920,790 and $30,769,922, respectively.
    At October 31, 1994, accumulated net unrealized depreciation on
investments was $16,654,567, consisting of $11,894 gross unrealized
appreciation and $16,666,461 gross unrealized depreciation.
    At October 31, 1994, the cost of investments for Federal income tax
purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting
purposes (see the Statement of Investments).
