                A SPECIAL NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS OF SMITH BARNEY
                             ALLOCATION SERIES INC.
                         (FORMERLY KNOWN AS SMITH BARNEY
                         CONCERT ALLOCATION SERIES INC.)

                                 WITH RESPECT TO

                                GLOBAL PORTFOLIO
                              HIGH GROWTH PORTFOLIO
                                GROWTH PORTFOLIO
                               BALANCED PORTFOLIO
                             CONSERVATIVE PORTFOLIO
                                INCOME PORTFOLIO

Dear Shareholder:

      I am writing to inform you about some important changes that have been
approved by the Board of Directors of Smith Barney Allocation Series Inc. (the
"Company") regarding the management of the Global Portfolio, High Growth
Portfolio, Growth Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio, Conservative Portfolio, and
Income Portfolio (each, a "Portfolio" or collectively, the "Portfolios").

      SSB Citi Fund Management LLC ("SSB Citi") currently acts as investment
adviser to the Portfolios pursuant to a separate Asset Allocation and
Administration Agreement for each Portfolio (each, a "Current Agreement" or
collectively, the "Current Agreements"). Under the Current Agreements, SSB Citi
provides investment advisory and administrative services, including investing
each Portfolio's assets, providing investment research and supervising each
Portfolio's investments in accordance with its investment objective, policies
and restrictions. For these services, SSB Citi is paid an annual fee of 0.35% of
each Portfolio's average daily net assets. This fee is a bundled, or "all-in"
fee, which requires SSB Citi to pay all other operating expenses for each
Portfolio out of this one fee, except charges for distribution under the
Company's distribution plan. In a traditional mutual fund advisory contract, the
investment adviser is compensated solely for its investment advisory services,
as described above, and the fund bears the cost of all other operating expenses.

      On October 10, 2000, a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company,
including a majority of the Directors who are not interested persons of the
Portfolios, voted to restructure the Current Agreements by eliminating the
all-in advisory fee and replacing it with a traditional advisory fee that
compensates SSB Citi solely for its investment advisory services. Pursuant to
the restructuring, each Current Agreement will be replaced by a new agreement
(each a "New Agreement" or collectively the "New Agreements") providing for an
advisory fee calculated at the annual rate of 0.20% of that Portfolio's average
daily net assets. Although the New Agreements provide for lower advisory fees,
the Portfolios will be subject to higher total operating expenses since they
will bear all of their own operating expenses. However, the

<PAGE>

proposed fee structure will be subject to a voluntary fee waiver and expense
reimbursement in order to maintain an expense cap on each of the Portfolios that
is no more than 0.20% higher than the current total expenses for that Portfolio.
This expense cap will not be changed in the future without the approval of the
Board of Directors of the Company. This structure should permit the Portfolios
to remain competitive and allow the Company and the Portfolios to provide
shareholders with enhanced services on the same basis provided by other funds.

      There are no other proposed changes and the Portfolios will continue to be
managed pursuant to the investment objectives and policies as set forth in the
Prospectus.

      A special shareholder meeting regarding the proposed New Agreements is
scheduled to take place on January 23, 2001. I ask that you take a few moments
to review the accompanying proxy materials carefully. Shareholders owning shares
in more than one of the Company's Portfolios will receive a separate proxy card
for each Portfolio and Share Class owned. If you do not plan to attend the
special shareholder meeting, please complete each proxy card (unless you are
voting by telephone or through the Internet) and return it as soon as possible
in the postage-paid envelope. We also encourage you to vote by telephone or
through the Internet. Proxies may be voted by telephone by calling the toll-free
number that appears on your proxy card or through the Internet by using the
Internet address located on your proxy card.

      Voting by telephone or through the Internet will reduce the time and costs
associated with the proxy solicitation. When the Portfolios record proxies by
telephone or through the Internet, they will use reasonable procedures designed
to (i) authenticate shareholders' identities, (ii) allow shareholders to
authorize the voting of their shares in accordance with their instructions and
(iii) confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded.

      Whichever voting method you choose, please read the full text of the proxy
statement before you vote.

      Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and the accompanying
proxy statement. We look forward to helping you pursue your financial goals in
the years ahead.

Sincerely,

Heath B. McLendon
Chairman of the Board of Directors

                                 PROXY STATEMENT
                         SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
                         To Be Held On January 23, 2001

                          ---------------------------

                                     General

      The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Smith
Barney Allocation Series Inc. (the "Company") on behalf of the Global Portfolio,
High Growth Portfolio, Growth Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio, Conservative
Portfolio, and Income Portfolio (each, a "Portfolio" or collectively, the
"Portfolios"), in connection with the special meeting of shareholders (the
"Special Meeting") of the Portfolios to be held at the offices of SSB Citi Fund
Management LLC ("SSB Citi"), the Downtown Conference Center, Lobby, 7 World
Trade Center, New York, New York 10048 beginning at 9 a.m. Eastern time on
January 23, 2001.

      Each Portfolio is a "fund of funds" which seeks to achieve its objective
by investing in a number of underlying open-end management investment companies
or series thereof. These underlying funds, which are operated by SSB Citi and an
affiliate thereof, are described in the Portfolios' prospectus.

      The proposal to be considered and voted on at the Special Meeting is as
follows:

      To approve or disapprove a new Asset Allocation and Administration
Agreement (each a "New Agreement" or collectively, the "New Agreements") with
SSB Citi on behalf of each Portfolio.

      The appointed proxies will vote in their discretion on any other business
as may properly come before the Special Meeting or any adjournments thereof. The
Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on November 3, 2000 as the
record date (the "Record Date") for the determination of holders of shares of
the Portfolios entitled


                                       1
<PAGE>

to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting (the "Shares"). Shareholders of
the Portfolios on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote per share with
respect to the proposal submitted to the Shareholders of the Portfolios, with no
share having cumulative voting rights.

      Those persons who owned, beneficially or of record, more than 5% of the
outstanding shares of any of the Portfolios as of the Record Date, to the best
knowledge of the Board and the Portfolios, are set forth in Annex A hereto. As
of the Record Date, the officers and Directors of the Company, collectively,
beneficially owned less than 1% of the shares of the Portfolio.

                                     Voting

      Shareholders of each class of each Portfolio will vote separately on the
proposal, and separate proxy cards are enclosed for each class of each Portfolio
in respect of which a shareholder is a record owner of shares. The favorable
vote of the holders of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of each
class of each Portfolio ("Class"), as defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), is required to approve each Portfolio's New
Agreement. The 1940 Act defines a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" of each Class to mean the lesser of (a) the vote of holders of 67%
or more of the shares of Common Stock of each Class present in person or by
proxy at the Special Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding
Common Stock of each Class are present in person or by proxy, or (b) the vote of
the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock of each Class. If
the shareholders of all classes of a Portfolio do not approve the proposal, the
proposal will not be implemented for that Portfolio.

      The Proxy Statement, Notice of Special Meeting and the proxy card are
first being mailed to shareholders on or about December 1, 2000 or as soon as
practicable thereafter. All properly executed proxies received prior to the
Special Meeting will be voted at the Special Meeting in accordance with the
instructions marked thereon.

      Proxies received prior to the Special Meeting on which no vote is
indicated will be voted "for" the proposal. For purposes of determining the
presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Special Meeting,
abstentions and broker "non-votes" (that is, proxies from brokers or nominees
indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial
owner or other persons entitled to vote shares on a particular matter with
respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power) will
be treated as shares that are present but which have not been voted. The holders
of at least one-third of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the proposal
must be present in person or by proxy to have a quorum to conduct business at
the Special Meeting. Because abstentions and broker non-votes are treated as
shares present but not voting, any abstentions and broker non-votes will have
the effect of votes against the proposal for purposes of tabulating the votes
necessary for the proposal's approval. Accordingly, shareholders are urged to
forward their voting instructions promptly.


                                       2
<PAGE>

      Any proxy may be revoked at any time prior to exercise thereof by giving
written notice to the Secretary of the Company at the address indicated above,
by voting in person at the Special Meeting, by telephone or on the Internet.

      The Company knows of no other business that will be presented for
consideration at the Special Meeting. If any other matters are properly
presented, it is the intention of the persons named on the enclosed proxy to
vote proxies in accordance with their best judgment. In the event a quorum is
present at the Special Meeting but sufficient votes to approve the proposal are
not received, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments
of the Special Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies provided they
determine that such an adjournment and additional solicitation is reasonable and
in the interest of shareholders based on a consideration of all relevant
factors, including the nature of the relevant proposal, the percentage of votes
then cast, the percentage of negative votes then cast, the nature of the
proposed solicitation activities and the nature of the reasons for such further
solicitation. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the Special
Meeting. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment
those proxies which they are entitled to vote in favor of the proposal and will
vote against any such adjournment those proxies to be voted against the
proposal.

                                    PROPOSAL:

              APPROVAL OF A NEW ASSET ALLOCATION AND ADMINISTRATION
              AGREEMENT WITH SSB CITI ON BEHALF OF EACH PORTFOLIO

                                  Introduction

      The Board of Directors of the Company is recommending that the
shareholders of each Portfolio approve a New Agreement for each Portfolio
providing for a restructuring of advisory fees, to be entered into between the
Company (on behalf of each Portfolio) and SSB Citi. SSB Citi serves as
investment adviser to each Portfolio and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Salomon
Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Citigroup Inc. ("Citigroup").

      At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company held on October 10,
2000, a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Directors who are not
interested persons of the Company, the Portfolios or SSB Citi (the "Independent
Directors"), approved the New Agreements on behalf of each Portfolio, subject to
shareholder approval. The current Asset Allocation and Administration Agreements
(each, a "Current Agreement" or collectively, the "Current Agreements") for the
High Growth Portfolio, Growth Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio, Conservative
Portfolio and Income Portfolio commenced on January 26, 1996, and the Current
Agreement for the Global Portfolio commenced on March 9, 1998. If the
shareholders approve the New Agreements, they will be effective on the date the
proposal is approved by shareholders. If the shareholders do not approve the New
Agreements, the Current Agreements will remain in effect and the Company's Board
of Directors will consider whether other courses of action, including a
reconsideration of the New Agreements, are appropriate.

      Each New Agreement reflects the proposed restructuring of the advisory
fee, including a decrease in the advisory fee and, effectively, an increase in
total operating expenses, and also reflects the new name of the adviser, SSB
Citi, successor to Mutual Management Corp. Except for those changes, its terms
are substantially similar to the terms of each Current Agreement.

                 Current Agreements and Proposed New Agreements

      SSB Citi currently acts as investment adviser to the Portfolios pursuant
to the Current Agreements. Under the Current Agreements, SSB Citi provides
investment advisory and administrative services, including investing each
Portfolio's assets, providing investment research and supervising each
Portfolio's investments in accordance with its investment objective, policies
and restrictions. For these services, SSB Citi is paid an annual fee of 0.35% of
each Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the fiscal year ended January 31,
2000, SSB Citi was paid an aggregate fee of $2,922,105.35 on behalf of all of
the Portfolios. The advisory fee has been a bundled, or "all-in" fee, which
requires SSB Citi to pay all of the Portfolios' other


                                       4
<PAGE>

operating expenses out of this fee, including transfer agency, audit, legal,
printing, SEC registration and miscellaneous (but not including charges for
distribution under the Company's 12b-1 plan). In a traditional mutual fund
advisory contract, the investment adviser is compensated solely for its
investment advisory services, as described above, and the fund bears the cost of
all other operating expenses.

      At the time the Company was organized and the Current Agreements were
approved, the all-in fee structure was considered simpler and more efficient in
administering the Portfolios. It was also anticipated at that time that the
all-in fee would generate sufficient levels of fees to cover each Portfolio's
expenses, including transfer agency and sub-transfer agency charges, and
generate a reasonable profit. However, because of a higher than anticipated
number of small accounts, the expenses of the Portfolios have been significantly
higher than anticipated.

      The high cost of servicing a large number of relatively small accounts
will be exacerbated as a result of a recent decision by PFS Shareholder Services
Inc. ("PFSSS") to significantly upgrade client services in order to increase
client satisfaction and retention. PFSSS, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Citigroup, serves as a sub-transfer agent for the Company, maintaining
shareholder account records for a majority of the Portfolios' outstanding
shares. Although this upgrade will result in enhanced shareholder services, as
further described below, it will also result in increased sub-transfer agency
costs.

      As a result of the increase in expenses above what was originally
contemplated and the desire to provide service enhancements to the Company's
shareholders, SSB Citi is proposing that the Portfolios adopt a new fee
structure. The proposed fee structure will consist of an advisory fee of 0.20%,
with other expenses, including transfer agency fees, to be charged directly to
the Portfolios. The proposed fee structure will also be subject to a voluntary
fee waiver and expense reimbursement by SSB Citi, as further described below.
The Board of Directors has determined that the proposed fee structure,
unbundling the advisory fee paid to SSB Citi from fees for other services,
provides for an appropriate level of advisory fees.

      With respect to the transfer agency fee, PFSSS is requesting an increase
in fees from the current level of $11.00 for Class A shares and $12.00 for Class
B and L shares (borne by SSB Citi under the Current Agreements) to $18.00 for
Class A shares and $20.00 for Class B and Class L shares. As previously noted,
this level of transfer agency fee is necessary because of the enhancements that
PFSSS will be making for client services, which include, among other things,
on-line and telephone account access and improved shareholder communications,
including integrated account statements and year-end tax statements. Currently,
a small percentage (approximately 14%) of the Company's shareholders have more
extensive services than those currently available to PFSSS clients. In order to
provide comparable services to all investors, PFSSS will incur higher costs and,
therefore, it will be necessary for PFSSS to charge higher transfer agency fees.
The Company and SSB Citi propose to pass along these costs to all investors, as
contemplated by the proposed fee restructuring.

<PAGE>

      The proposed fee structure will be subject to a voluntary fee waiver and
expense reimbursement in order to maintain an expense cap on each of the
Portfolios that is no more than 0.20% higher than current expenses, for the
Global, High Growth, Growth and Balanced Portfolios, a maximum increase from
0.60% to 0.80% for Class A shares, from 1.35% to 1.55% for Class B and Class L
shares, and from 0.35% to 0.55% for Class Y and Class Z shares; for the
Conservative and Income Portfolios, a maximum increase from 0.60% to 0.80% for
Class A shares, from 1.10% to 1.30% for Class B shares, from 1.05% to 1.25% for
Class L shares, and from 0.35% to 0.55% for Class Y and Class Z shares. This
expense cap will not be changed in the future without the approval of the
Company's Board of Directors.

                          Impact of the New Agreements

      As stated in the Introduction, the New Agreements each provide for a
decrease in the advisory fee and an effective increase in total operating
expenses when compared to the Current Agreements. The following table compares
the advisory fees paid by the Portfolios to SSB Citi for the fiscal year ended
January 31, 2000 as calculated under the Current Agreements to the advisory fees
each Portfolio would have paid if the New Agreements had been in effect. This
table reflects only the proposed changes in advisory fees and does not reflect
the increase in total operating expenses as shown in the tables below.

                          Board of Directors Evaluation

      The Board of Directors met on October 10, 2000 to consider SSB Citi's
proposal to restructure the advisory fees and to increase total expenses of each
Portfolio.

      The Board of Directors reviewed the circumstances surrounding the
proposal. SSB Citi informed the Board that the current advisory fee was
structured as a bundled, or all-in, advisory fee. SSB Citi explained that it
paid virtually all of the Portfolios' other expenses (other than the fees
payable under the plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and
extraordinary expenses) out of this fee. Therefore, any increases in such
expenses were paid directly by SSB Citi.

      SSB Citi noted that the costs of certain of the services paid out of the
advisory fee, in particular the sub-transfer agency fees, as described above,
have been increasing beyond what the Board of Directors or SSB Citi contemplated
at the time the all-in fee structure was established. These costs have been
increasing largely because PFSSS has been servicing a higher than anticipated
number of small accounts and because of its intention to provide enhanced
transfer agency services. The Board was informed that because shareholders would
continue to need and desire enhanced services, there would, in all likelihood,
be further service enhancements with possible accompanying increases in
expenses. Thus, in order to permit the Portfolios to remain competitive and to
allow the Portfolios to provide their shareholders with enhanced services on the
same basis provided by other funds, a restructuring of the advisory fee for each
Portfolio was proposed.

      SSB Citi described the sub-transfer agency enhancements PFSSS planned to
provide. These include, among other things, on-line and telephone account access
and improved shareholder communications, including integrated account statements
and year-end tax statements. Currently, some of the Fund's shareholders already
benefit from such extensive services. SSB Citi explained that it was necessary
to


                                       12
<PAGE>

incur higher transfer agency costs in order to provide comparable services to
all investors in the Portfolios.

      SSB Citi reviewed the proposed fee structure and expense increase with the
Board of Directors. SSB Citi explained its proposal to lower the current
advisory fee from 0.35% of each Portfolio's average daily net assets to 0.20% of
each Portfolio's average daily net assets. SSB Citi further explained to the
Board that, although the advisory fee will be lower following the restructuring,
the Portfolios will pay higher total operating expenses because all other
operating expenses previously paid by SSB Citi will be borne directly by the
Portfolios.

      SSB Citi agreed that each Portfolio's total expenses would be subject to a
voluntary fee waiver and expense reimbursement in order to maintain an expense
cap on each of the Portfolios that is no more than 0.20% higher than current
expenses for each Portfolio. SSB Citi also agreed that this expense cap would
not be changed in the future without the prior approval of the Board of
Directors. The New Agreements will be subject to termination by the Board of
Directors on 60 days' prior written notice.

      The Board was reminded that, at its meeting on June 13, 2000, it was
furnished with a study prepared by SSB Citi setting forth its revenues, expenses
and resulting profitability in connection with its management of the Portfolios.
At its October 10, 2000 meeting, the Board was given a competitive fund of funds
expense analysis comparing the Portfolios' expected and proposed expenses to
those borne by a representative list of investment companies with structures
similar to the Portfolios. The Board also received information indicating that
the transfer agency fees would differ from class to class depending upon the
services required by each class. It was explained to the Board that the
differences in transfer agency fees would be based on the complexity and level
of services to be received by each class and that no class would subsidize the
expenses of another class. It was further explained that classes of shares with
large numbers of small accounts would be subject to higher expense ratios, but
that this would be mitigated by the proposed cap on expenses proposed by SSB
Citi. Finally, the Board received a comparison of the current transfer agency
fees paid by SSB Citi under the Current Agreements, the proposed transfer agency
fees to be paid by the Portfolios under the New Agreements and the industry
average transfer agency fees. SSB Citi observed that both the current transfer
agency fees and the proposed transfer agency fees are lower than the industry
average.

      In their review, the Board of Directors considered, among other factors,
the reasons presented by SSB Citi for the proposed advisory fee restructuring
and increase, including the desirability of providing enhanced services to all
shareholders and, in particular, the enhanced services to be provided by PFSSS;
the nature, quality and scope of the services provided to the Portfolios by SSB
Citi; the importance of supporting quality, long-term service by SSB Citi to
achieve solid investment performance and efficient fund management and
operations; the data as to revenues, expenses and profitability of SSB Citi, the
competitive fund of funds analysis and the comparison of


                                       13
<PAGE>

the current and proposed transfer agency fees with transfer agency fees charged
by comparable funds; whether it would be appropriate for each class of shares to
bear the costs specifically attributable to services rendered for the benefit of
shareholders of that class; the fact that Portfolio expenses will be subject to
a voluntary expense cap; the effect of the proposed advisory fee restructuring
and increase on the expense ratio of the Portfolios; and SSB Citi's overall
profitability and financial resources.

      Based on the information provided to the Board of Directors and the
factors discussed above, a majority of the Board of Directors, including a
majority of the Independent Directors, approved the proposed advisory fee
restructuring, including an increase in total expenses, and the New Agreements,
subject to shareholder approval.

funds and fixed income funds (including money market funds). In addition to such

                             ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

                               Proxy Solicitation

      Proxy solicitations will be made primarily by mail, but proxy
solicitations also may be made by telephone, telegraph, other electronic means
or personal interviews conducted by officers and employees of the Company;
Salomon Smith Barney, the Company's principal underwriter; Citi Fiduciary Trust
Company ("Citi"), transfer agent of the Company; and/or PFPC Global Fund
Services ("PFPC") or PFSSS, sub-transfer agents of the Company. Such
representatives and employees will not receive additional compensation for
solicitation activities. Salomon Smith Barney has retained the services of PFPC
to assist in the solicitation of proxies. The aggregate cost of solicitation of
the shareholders of the Portfolio is expected to be approximately $730,000. The
costs of the proxy solicitation and expenses incurred in connection with the
preparation of this Proxy Statement and its enclosures will be borne by the
Portfolios. The Portfolios also will reimburse expenses of forwarding
solicitation materials to beneficial owners of shares of the Portfolios.

      If the Portfolios record votes by telephone or on the Internet, they will
use procedures designed to authenticate shareholders' identities, to allow
shareholders to authorize the voting of their shares in accordance with their
instructions, and to confirm that their instructions have been properly
recorded. Proxies voted by telephone or on the Internet may be revoked at any
time before they are voted in the same manner that proxies voted by mail may be
revoked.

                            Proposals of Shareholders

      The Company does not hold regular shareholder meetings. Shareholders
wishing to submit proposals for inclusion in a proxy statement for a shareholder
meeting subsequent to the Special Meeting, if any, should send their written
proposals to the Secretary of the Company at the address set forth on the cover
of this Proxy Statement. Proposals must be received within a reasonable time
before the solicitation of proxies for such Special Meeting. The timely
submission of a proposal does not guarantee its inclusion.

                    Shareholders' Request for Special Meeting

      Special meetings of shareholders for any purpose or purposes, unless
otherwise prescribed by statute or by the Company's Charter, may be held at any
place within the United States and may be called at any time at the request in
writing of shareholders entitled to cast at least 10% of the votes entitled to
be cast at the meeting upon payment by such shareholders to the Company of the
reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing a notice of the meeting
(which estimated cost shall be provided to such shareholders by the Secretary of
the Company). A written request shall state the purpose or purposes of the
proposed meeting.

                Other Matters To Come Before the Special Meeting

      The Company does not intend to present any other business at the Special
Meeting, nor is it aware that any shareholder intends to do so. If, however, any
other matters are properly brought before the Special Meeting, the persons named
in the accompanying proxy card will vote thereon in accordance with their
judgment.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT PROXIES BE RETURNED PROMPTLY. SHAREHOLDERS WHO DO NOT
EXPECT TO ATTEND THE SPECIAL MEETING ARE THEREFORE URGED TO COMPLETE, SIGN, DATE
AND RETURN THE PROXY CARD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IN THE ENCLOSED POSTAGE-PAID
ENVELOPE (UNLESS THEY ARE VOTING BY TELEPHONE OR THROUGH THE INTERNET).

Christina T. Sydor

      WHEREAS, the Portfolio is a series of the Fund which will operate as an
open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules thereunder (the "1940 Act"); and

      WHEREAS, the Fund has been organized for the purpose of investing its
assets in (a) open-end management investment companies or series thereof that
are or will be part of a group of investment companies that holds itself out to
investors as related companies for purposes of investment and investor services
(i) for which Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("Salomon Smith Barney") or any entity
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Salomon Smith Barney

Smith Barney or SSB Citi or any entity controlling, controlled by, or under
common control with Salomon Smith Barney or SSB Citi now or in the future acts
as investment adviser (collectively, the "Underlying Smith Barney Funds") and
(b) repurchase agreements, and the Fund desires to avail itself of the
experience, sources of information, advice, assistance and facilities available
to SSB Citi and to have SSB Citi perform for it various asset allocation and
administration services; and SSB Citi is willing to furnish such advice and
services on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

      1. The Fund on behalf of the Portfolio hereby appoints SSB Citi to act as

      prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement and (ii) repurchase

      laws and regulations and with the instructions and directions of the
      Board.

(d)   SSB Citi shall maintain books and records with respect to the Portfolio's
      investment transactions and such other books and records required to be
      maintained by SSB Citi pursuant to the Rules of the Securities and
      Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the 1940 Act and SSB Citi shall render
      to the Board such periodic and special reports as the Board may reasonably
      request. SSB Citi agrees that all books and records that it maintains for
      the Portfolio or the Fund are the property of the Fund and it will
      surrender promptly to the Fund on behalf of the Portfolio any of such
      books and records upon the Fund's request.

the capacities in which they are elected.

      6. SSB Citi shall not be liable for any error of judgment or for any loss

relates, except a loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to
the receipt of compensation for services (in which case any award of damages
shall be limited to the period and the amount set forth in Section 36(b)(3) of
the 1940 Act) or a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence on its part in the performance of its duties or from reckless
disregard by it of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

      7. This Agreement shall commence January __, 2001 and shall continue in
effect for a period of two years from its effective date, and if not sooner
terminated, will continue in effect for successive periods of 12 months

time and attention in part to management or other aspects of any business,
