Dreyfus Introduces Two New Fund of Funds

Dreyfus Satellite Alpha Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by allocating its assets among other Dreyfus-advised mutual funds that provide exposure to alternative or non-traditional (i.e. satellite) asset categories or investment strategies, according to a press release. The fund’s portfolio managers seek to deliver “alpha” by investing in satellite asset categories and investment strategies which generally have a lower correlation with the broad U.S. stock and bond markets.

The announcement said the underlying funds are selected by the Dreyfus Investment Committee based on their investment objectives and management policies, portfolio holdings, risk/reward profiles, historical performance, and other factors, including the correlation and covariance among the underlying funds.

The Dreyfus Diversified Global Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by allocating its assets among other mutual funds advised by The Dreyfus Corporation that invest primarily in equity securities issued by U.S. and foreign companies. The fund is designed to provide diversification by investing the majority of its assets in underlying funds that provide exposure to multiple global strategies.

Dreyfus seeks to diversify the fund’s investments by including underlying funds that have global portfolios that focus on, but are not limited to, growth, equity income, core, real estate, sustainability and tactical asset allocation. The Dreyfus Investment Committee determines the underlying funds and sets the target allocations.
