Dividend Options Form Instructions

Thank you for your interest in the Dreyfus Dividend Sweep and Automatic Clearing House (ACH) options. We are confident you will find the services offered to be a valuable tool in the management of your finances.

Dreyfus Dividend Sweep allows automatic transfers of any dividends and/or capital gains you earn in one of your Dreyfus mutual fund accounts into another one of your existing Dreyfus mutual fund accounts. For example, you may use this free service to sweep distributions from a growth-oriented fund into a money market fund.¹ Or you may invest the dividends from a money market or short-term income fund into a longer term growth fund.

No matter how you choose to employ your Dreyfus Dividend Sweep, your earnings will work for you nonstop because they are automatically transferred on the day they are paid.

Dreyfus Dividend ACH allows automatic electronic transfers of any dividends and/or capital gains from your Dreyfus mutual fund account to your designated bank account. With Dreyfus Dividend ACH, there is no charge by Dreyfus and no chance of mail delays.¹ We do suggest that you check with your bank to see if it will charge you a fee for using this service.
