You should know: An investment in a fund is not a bank deposit and is not
insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. There is no
assurance that each fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of
$1.00 per share.

Fund goal and main strategies
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
Each fund seeks maximum current income and preservation of capital.
KEY INVESTMENTS
GOVERNMENT portfolio The fund invests exclusively in U.S. government obliga-
tions, including mortgage-backed securities and related repurchase agreements.
CASH PORTFOLIO AND RETIREMENT PORTFOLIO Each fund invests in high quality, U.S.
dollar denominated short term debt securities. These may include obligations
issued by U.S. and foreign banks, the U.S. government, its agencies or instru-
mentalities, U.S. states and municipalities and U.S. and foreign corporate
issuers. Each fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in obligations of
domestic and foreign banks. Either the principal amount of each obligation must
be fully insured by the FDIC or the issuing bank must have more than $100 mil-
lion of working capital or more than $1 billion of total assets.
Cash Portfolio and Retirement Portfolio may invest in all types of money market
securities including commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers'
acceptances, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, repurchase agreements
and other short term debt securities. The funds limit foreign investments to
issuers located in major industrialized countries.
MINIMUM CREDIT QUALITY Cash Portfolio and Retirement Portfolio invest in com-
mercial paper and other short-term obligations rated by a nationally recognized
rating organization in the highest short term rating category, or if unrated,
of equivalent quality, and in other corporate obligations and municipal obliga-
tions rated in the two highest rating categories, or if unrated, of equivalent
quality. Government Portfolio invests exclusively in securities rated in the
highest short-term rating category, or if unrated, of equivalent quality.
Maximum maturity Each fund invests exclusively in securities having remaining
maturities of 397 days or less. Each fund maintains a dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity of 90 days or less.
SELECTION PROCESS
In selecting investments for the funds, the manager looks for:
. The best relative values based on an analysis of yield, price, interest rate
sensitivity and credit quality
. Issuers offering minimal credit risk
. Maturities consistent with the manager's outlook for interest rates

<PAGE>
Risks, performance and expenses
All investments involve some degree of risk. However, each fund is a "money
market fund" and, as such, seeks income by investing in short-term debt securi-
ties that meet strict standards established by the Board of Directors based on
special rules for money market funds adopted under federal law.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUNDS
Although the funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per
share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the funds, or the funds
could underperform other short term debt instruments or money market funds if:
. Interest rates rise sharply.
. An issuer or guarantor of the funds' securities defaults, or has its credit
rating downgraded.
. The manager's judgment about the value or credit quality of a particular secu-
rity proves to be incorrect.
Cash Portfolio and Retirement Portfolio each invests at least 25% of its assets
in obligations of domestic and foreign banks and, as a result, is more suscep-
tible to events affecting the banking industry. The value of the funds' foreign
securities may go down because of unfavorable government actions or political
instability.
WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
The funds may be an appropriate investment if you:
. Are seeking current income
. Are looking for an investment with lower risk than most other types of funds
. Are looking to allocate a portion of your assets to money market securities

Management
MANAGER The funds' investment manager is SSBC Fund Management Inc., an
affiliate of Salomon Smith Barney Inc. The manager's address is 388 Greenwich
Street, New York, New York 10013. The manager selects the funds' investments and
oversees their operations. The manager and Salomon Smith Barney are
subsidiaries of Citigroup Inc. Citigroup businesses produce a broad range of
financial services--asset management, banking and consumer finance, credit and
charge cards, insurance, investments, investment banking and trading--and use
diverse channels to make them available to consumer and corporate customers
around the world.
MANAGEMENT FEE For its services, the manager received a fee during the fund's
last fiscal year equal to the amount shown below:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Management fee as a percentage of
Fund the fund's average daily net assets
<S> <C>
Cash Portfolio 0.39%
Government Portfolio 0.42%

</TABLE>
DISTRIBUTOR The fund has entered into an agreement with CFBDS, Inc. to distrib-
ute the fund's shares. A selling group consisting of Salomon Smith Barney and
other broker-dealers sells fund shares to the public.
DISTRIBUTION PLANS Each fund has adopted Rule 12b-1 distribution plans for its
Class A and, if applicable, Class L shares. Under each plan, the fund pays
service fees. These fees are an ongoing expense and, over time, may cost you
more than other types of sales charges.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE Information technology experts are concerned about computer
systems' ability to process date-related information on and after January 1,
2000. This situation, commonly known as the "Year 2000" issue, could have an
adverse impact on the funds. The cost of addressing the Year 2000 issue, if
substantial, could adversely affect companies and governments that issue secu-
rities held by the funds. The manager and Salomon Smith Barney are addressing
the Year 2000 issue for their systems. The funds have been informed by other
service providers that they are taking similar measures. Although the funds do
not expect the Year 2000 issue to adversely affect them, the funds cannot guar-
antee the efforts of each fund (limited to requesting and receiving reports
from its service providers) or its service providers to correct the problem
will be successful.

. A Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant
. An investment dealer in the selling group or a broker that clears through
Salomon Smith Barney--a dealer representative
. Each fund, but only if you are investing through certain qualified plans or

LETTER OF INTENT: CLASS Y SHARES
You may buy Class Y shares of Cash Portfolio or Government Portfolio at net
asset value with no initial sales charge. To purchase Class Y shares, you must
meet the $15,000,000 initial investment requirement. You can use a letter of
intent to meet this requirement by buying Class Y shares of a fund over a 13-
month period. To qualify, you must initially invest $5,000,000.
Deferred sales charges
If Class A shares of the Cash Portfolio or Government Portfolio are acquired by
exchange from another Smith Barney fund subject to a deferred sales charge the
original deferred sales charge will apply to these shares. If you redeem any of
these shares within 12 months of the date you purchased shares of the original
fund, the funds' shares may be subject to a deferred sales charge of 1.00%.
The deferred sales charge is based on the net asset value at the time of pur-
chase or redemption, whichever is less, and therefore you do not pay a sales
charge on amounts representing appreciation or depreciation.
You do not pay a deferred sales charge on:
. Shares exchanged for shares of another Smith Barney fund
. Shares that represent reinvested distributions and dividends
. Shares that are no longer subject to the deferred sales charge
If you redeemed shares of a Smith Barney fund in the past 60 days and paid a
deferred sales charge, you may buy shares of the fund at the current net asset
value and be credited with the amount of the deferred sales charge, if you
notify your Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or dealer representative.
Salomon Smith Barney receives deferred sales charges as partial compensation
for its expenses in selling shares, including the payment of compensation to
your Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or dealer representative.
DEFERRED SALES CHARGE WAIVERS
The deferred sales charge for each share class will generally be waived:
. On certain distributions from a retirement plan
. For involuntary redemptions of small account balances
. For 12 months following the death or disability of a shareholder
If you want to learn more about additional waivers of deferred sales charges,
contact your Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or dealer representative

Other things to know about share transactions
When you buy, exchange or redeem shares, your request must be in good order.
This means you have provided the following information, without which your
request will not be processed.
. Name of the fund
. Account number
. Class of shares being bought, exchanged or redeemed
. Dollar amount or number of shares being bought, exchanged or redeemed
. Signature of each owner exactly as the account is registered
A request to purchase shares becomes effective only when Salomon Smith Barney,
a selling group member or the transfer agent receives, or converts the purchase
amount into, federal funds.
The transfer agent will try to confirm that any telephone exchange or redemp-
tion request is genuine by recording calls, asking the caller to provide a per-
sonal identification number for the account, sending you a written confirmation
or requiring other confirmation procedures from time to time.
SIGNATURE GUARANTEES To be in good order, your redemption request must include
a signature guarantee if you:
. Are redeeming over $10,000 of shares
. Are sending signed share certificates or stock powers to the transfer agent
. Instruct the transfer agent to mail the check to an address different from the
one on your account
. Changed your account registration
. Want the check paid to someone other than the account owner(s)
. Are transferring the redemption proceeds to an account with a different regis-
tration
You can obtain a signature guarantee from most banks, dealers, brokers, credit
unions and federal savings and loan institutions, but not from a notary public.
Each fund has the right to:
. Suspend the offering of shares
. Waive or change minimum and additional investment amounts
Money Market Funds
16
<PAGE>
. Reject any purchase or exchange order
. Change, revoke or suspend the exchange privilege
. Suspend telephone transactions
. Suspend or postpone redemptions of shares on any day when trading on the New
York Stock Exchange is restricted, or as otherwise permitted by the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission
. Pay redemption proceeds by giving you securities. You may pay transaction
costs to dispose of the securities
SMALL ACCOUNT BALANCES If your account falls below $500 ($100 for Retirement
Portfolio) because of a redemption of fund shares, a fund may ask you to bring
your account up to $500 ($100 for Retirement Portfolio). If your account is
still below $500 ($100 for Retirement Portfolio) after 60 days, the fund may
close your account and send you the redemption proceeds.
EXCESSIVE EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS The manager may determine that a pattern of
frequent exchanges is detrimental to the fund's performance and other share-
holders. If so, the funds may limit additional purchases and/or exchanges by
the shareholder.
SHARE CERTIFICATES The funds do not issue share certificates unless a written
request signed by all registered owners is made to the transfer agent. If you
hold share certificates, it will take longer to exchange or redeem shares.

alternatives under the programs. You can meet minimum investment and exchange
amounts by combining the plan's investments in any of the Smith Barney funds.
There are no sales charges when you buy or sell shares and the class of shares
you may purchase depends on the amount of your initial investment. Once a class
of shares is chosen, all additional purchases must be of the same class.
. Class A shares may be purchased by plans investing at least $1 million.
. On purchases of less than $1 million, Class L shares will be issued. Class L
shares are eligible for conversion to Class A shares not later than 8 years
after the plan joined the program. They are eligible for conversion sooner in
the following circumstances:
If the account was opened on or after June 21, 1996 and a total of $1 mil-
lion is invested in Smith Barney Funds Class L shares (other than shares
of money market funds), all Class L shares are eligible for exchange after
the plan is in the program 5 years.
If the account was opened before June 21, 1996 and a total of $500,000 is
invested in Smith Barney Funds Class L shares (other than shares of money
market funds) on December 31 in any year, all such shares are eligible for
exchange on or about March 31 of the following year.
For more information, call your Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or
the transfer agent, or consult the SAI.

Distributions, dividends and taxes
DIVIDENDS Each fund declares a dividend of substantially all of its net invest-
ment income on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. Income dividends
are paid monthly. Each fund generally makes capital gain distributions, if any,
once a year, typically in December. Each fund may pay additional distributions
and dividends at other times if necessary for the fund to avoid a federal tax.
Each fund expects distributions to be primarily from income. Dividends and cap-
ital gain distributions are reinvested in additional fund shares of the same
class that you hold. Alternatively, you can instruct your Salomon Smith Barney
Financial Consultant, dealer representative or the transfer agent to have your
distributions and/or dividends paid in cash. You can change your choice at any
time to be effective as of the next distribution or dividend, except that any
change given to the transfer agent less than five days before the payment date
will not be effective until the next distribution or dividend is paid.
TAXES In general, receiving distributions (whether in cash or additional
shares) is a taxable event. However, distributions from Retirement Portfolio
are not taxable to the qualified retirement plans that hold its shares.

Each fund anticipates that it will normally not earn or distribute any long-
term capital gains.
After the end of each year, each fund will provide you with information about
the distributions and dividends you received during the previous year. If you
do not provide the fund with your correct taxpayer identification number and
any required certifications, you may be subject to back-up withholding of 31%
of your distributions and dividends. Because each shareholder's circumstances
are different and special tax rules may apply, you should consult your tax
adviser about your investment in the funds.

Share price
You may buy, exchange or redeem shares at their net asset value, plus any
applicable deferred sales charge, next determined after receipt of your request
in good order. Each fund's net asset value is the value of its assets minus its
liabilities. Net asset value is calculated separately for each class of shares.
Each fund calculates its net asset value at noon, Eastern time, every day the
New York Stock Exchange is open. The Exchange is closed on certain holidays
listed in the SAI.
Each fund uses the amortized cost method to value its portfolio securities.
Using this method, a fund constantly amortizes over the remaining life of a
security the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and the
cost of the security to the fund.

Financial highlights
The financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand the perfor-
mance of each fund's classes for the past 5 years. Certain information reflects
financial results for a single share. Total return represents the rate that a
shareholder would have earned (or lost) on a fund share assuming reinvestment
of all dividends and distributions. The information in the following tables was
audited by KPMG LLP, independent accountants, whose report, along with the
funds' financial statements, are included in the annual report (available upon
request).

Fund goals and main strategies
Investment objectives
Each fund seeks maximum current income and preservation of capital.
Key investments
Government Portfolio The fund invests exclusively in U.S. government obliga-
tions, including mortgage-backed securities and related repurchase agreements.
Cash Portfolio The fund invests in high quality, U.S. dollar denominated short
term debt securities. These may include obligations issued by U.S. and foreign
banks, the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, U.S. states and
municipalities and U.S. and foreign corporate issuers. The fund will invest at
least 25% of its assets in obligations of domestic and foreign banks. Either
the principal amount of each obligation must be fully insured by the FDIC or
the issuing bank must have more than $100 million of working capital or more
than $1 billion of total assets.
Cash Portfolio may invest in all types of money market securities including
commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, mortgage-
backed and asset-backed securities, repurchase agreements and other short term
debt securities. The funds limit foreign investments to issuers located in
major industrialized countries.
Minimum credit quality Cash Portfolio invests in commercial paper and other
short-term obligations rated by a nationally recognized rating organization in
the highest short term rating category, or if unrated, of equivalent quality,
and in other corporate obligations and municipal obligations rated in the two
highest rating categories, or if unrated, of equivalent quality. Government
Portfolio invests exclusively in securities rated in the highest short-term
rating category, or if unrated, of equivalent quality.
Maximum maturity Each fund invests exclusively in securities having remaining
maturities of 397 days or less. Each fund maintains a dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity of 90 days or less.
Selection process
In selecting investments for the funds, the manager looks for:
. The best relative values based on an analysis of yield, price, interest rate
sensitivity and credit quality
. Issuers offering minimal credit risk
. Maturities consistent with the manager's outlook for interest rates
Money Market Funds--Class Z Shares

<PAGE>
Risks, performance and expenses
All investments involve some degree of risk. However, each fund is a "money
market fund" and, as such, seeks income by investing in short-term debt securi-
ties that meet strict standards established by the Board of Directors based on
special rules for money market funds adopted under federal law.
Principal risks of investing in the funds
Although the funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per
share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the funds, or the funds
could underperform other short term debt instruments or money market funds if:
. Interest rates rise sharply.
. An issuer or guarantor of the funds' securities defaults, or has its credit
rating downgraded.
. The manager's judgment about the value or credit quality of a particular secu-
rity proves to be incorrect.
Cash Portfolio invests at least 25% of its assets in obligations of domestic
and foreign banks and, as a result, is more susceptible to events affecting the
banking industry. The value of the funds' foreign securities may go down
because of unfavorable government actions or political instability.
Who may want to invest
The funds may be an appropriate investment if you:
. Are seeking current income
. Are looking for an investment with lower risk than most other types of funds
. Are looking to allocate a portion of your assets to money market securities

Year 2000 issue Information technology experts are concerned about computer
systems' ability to process date-related information on and after January 1,
2000. This situation, commonly known as the "Year 2000" issue, could have an
adverse impact on the funds. The manager and Salomon Smith Barney are address-
ing the Year 2000 issue for their systems. The cost of addressing the Year 2000
issue, if substantial, could adversely affect companies and governments that
issue securities held by the funds. Each fund has been informed by its other
service providers that they are taking similar measures. Although the funds do
not expect the Year 2000 issue to adversely affect them, the funds cannot guar-
antee that their efforts (limited to requesting and receiving reports from
their service providers) or their service providers to correct the problem will
be successful.

Buying, selling and exchanging Class Z shares
Through a You may buy, sell or exchange Class Z shares only through a
qualified "qualified plan." A qualified plan is a tax-exempt employee
plan benefit or retirement plan of Salomon Smith Barney, Inc. or
one of its affiliates.
There are no minimum investment requirements for Class Z
shares. However, each fund reserves the right to change this
policy at any time.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buying
Orders to buy Class Z shares must be made in accordance with
the terms of a qualified plan. If you are a participant in a
qualified plan, you may place an order with your plan to buy
Class Z shares at net asset value, without any sales charge.
Payment is due to Salomon Smith Barney on settlement date,
which is the third business day after your order is accepted.
If you make payment prior to this date, you may designate a
temporary investment (such as a money market fund of the
Smith Barney Mutual Funds) for payment until settlement date.
Each fund reserves the right to reject any order to buy
shares and to suspend the offering of shares for a period of
time.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Selling Qualified plans may redeem their shares on any day on which
the fund calculates its net asset value. You should consult
the terms of your qualified plan for special redemption pro-
visions.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exchanging You should consult your qualified plan for information about
available exchange options.
Money Market Funds--Class Z Shares

Share price
Qualified plans may buy, exchange or redeem Class Z shares of each fund at the
net asset value next determined after receipt of your request in good order.
Each fund's net asset value is the value of its assets minus its liabilities.
Net asset value is calculated separately for each class of shares. Each fund
calculates net asset value at noon, Eastern time, every day the New York Stock
Exchange is open. The Exchange is closed on certain holidays listed in the SAI.
Each fund uses the amortized cost method to value its portfolio securities.
Using this method, a fund constantly amortizes over the remaining life of a
security the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and the
cost of the security to the fund.

In order to buy, redeem or exchange shares at that day's price, you must place

If the New York Stock Exchange closes early, you must place your order with
your qualified plan prior to the actual closing time. Otherwise, you will
receive the next business day's price.
Your qualified plan must transmit all orders to buy, exchange or redeem shares
to the funds' agent before the agent's close of business.

Distributions, dividends and taxes
Dividends Each fund generally makes capital gain distributions, if any, once a
year, typically in December. Each fund may pay additional distributions and
dividends at other times if necessary for the fund to avoid a federal tax. Cap-
ital gain distributions and dividends are reinvested in additional Class Z
shares. Each fund expects distributions to be primarily from income. A sales
charge is paid on reinvested distributions or dividends. Alternatively, a
qualified plan can instruct its Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant,
dealer representative or the transfer agent to have its distributions and/or
dividends paid in cash. The choice to receive cash may be changed at any time
to be effective as of the next distribution or dividend, except that any change
given to the transfer agent less than five days before the payment date will
not be effective until the next distribution or dividend is paid.
Taxes In general, redeeming Class Z shares, exchanging Class Z shares and
receiving distributions or dividends (whether in cash or additional Class Z
shares) are all non-taxable events for purposes of federal income taxation.
Each fund anticipates that it will normally not earn or distribute any long-
term capital gains.
After the end of each year, each fund will provide you with information about
the distributions and dividends paid during the previous year. If you do
not provide your qualified plan with your correct taxpayer identification
number and any required certifications, you may be subject to back-up withhold-
ing of 31% of your distributions, dividends, and redemption proceeds.
Because each shareholder's circumstances are different and special tax rules
may apply, you should consult with your tax adviser about your investment in
the funds.

Fund goal and main strategies
Investment objectives
Each fund seeks maximum current income and preservation of capital.
Key investments
Cash Portfolio The fund invests in high quality, U.S. dollar denominated short
term debt securities. These may include obligations issued by U.S. and foreign
banks, the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, U.S. states and
municipalities and U.S. and foreign corporate issuers. The fund will invest at
least 25% of its assets in obligations of domestic and foreign banks. Either
the principal amount of each obligation must be fully insured by the FDIC or
the issuing bank must have more than $100 million of working capital or more
than $1 billion of total assets.
Cash Portfolio may invest in all types of money market securities including
commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, mortgage-
backed and asset-backed securities, repurchase agreements and other short term
debt securities. The fund limits foreign investments to issuers located in
major industrialized countries.
Minimum credit quality Cash Portfolio invests in commercial paper and other
short-term obligations rated by a nationally recognized rating organization in
the highest short term rating category, or if unrated, of equivalent quality,
and in other corporate obligations and municipal obligations rated in the two
highest rating categories, or if unrated, of equivalent quality.
Maximum maturity The fund invests exclusively in securities having remaining
maturities of 397 days or less. The fund maintains a dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity of 90 days or less.
Selection process
In selecting investments for the fund, the manager looks for:
.The best relative values based on an analysis of yield, price, interest rate
sensitivity and credit quality
.Issuers offering minimal credit risk
.Maturities consistent with the manager's outlook for interest rates
Money Market Funds

<PAGE>
Risks, performance and expenses
All investments involve some degree of risk. However, the fund is a "money mar-
ket fund" and, as such, seeks income by investing in short-term debt securities
that meet strict standards established by the Board of Directors based on spe-
cial rules for money market funds adopted under federal law.
Principal risks of investing in the funds
Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per
share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund, or the fund could
underperform other short term debt instruments or money market funds if:
.Interest rates rise sharply.
.An issuer or guarantor of the fund's securities defaults, or has its credit
rating downgraded.
.The manager's judgment about the value or credit quality of a particular secu-
rity proves to be incorrect.
Cash Portfolio invests at least 25% of its assets in obligations of domestic
and foreign banks and, as a result, is more susceptible to events affecting the
banking industry. The value of the fund's foreign securities may go down
because of unfavorable government actions or political instability.
Who may want to invest
The fund may be an appropriate investment if you:
.Are seeking current income
.Are looking for an investment with lower risk than most other types of funds
.Are looking to allocate a portion of your assets to money market securities

Deferred sales charges
If Class A shares of the Cash Portfolio are acquired by exchange from another
Smith Barney fund subject to a deferred sales charge the original deferred
sales charge will apply to these shares. If you redeem any of these shares
within 12 months of the date you purchased shares of the original fund, the
funds' shares may be subject to a deferred sales charge of 1.00%.
The deferred sales charge is based on the net asset value at the time of pur-
chase or redemption, whichever is less, and therefore you do not pay a sales
charge on amounts representing appreciation or depreciation.
You do not pay a deferred sales charge on:
.Shares exchanged for shares of another Smith Barney fund
.Shares that represent reinvested distributions and dividends
.Shares that are no longer subject to the deferred sales charge
If you redeemed shares of a Smith Barney fund in the past 60 days and paid a
deferred sales charge, you may buy shares of the fund at the current net asset
value and be credited with the amount of the deferred sales charge, if you
notify your PFS Investments Registered Representative.
PFS Distributors Inc., an affiliate of PFS Investment Inc., receives deferred
sales charges as partial compensation for its expenses in connection with the
sale of shares, including the payment of compensation to your PFS Investments
Registered Representative.
Deferred sales charge waivers
The deferred sales charge for each share class will generally be waived:
.On certain distributions from a retirement plan
.For involuntary redemptions of small account balances
.For 12 months following the death or disability of a shareholder
If you want to learn more about additional waivers of deferred sales charges,
contact your PFS Investments Registered Representative or consult the Statement
of Additional Information ("SAI").

Redeeming shares
Redemptions
by mail Generally, a properly completed Redemption Form with any
required signature guarantee is all that is required for a
redemption. In some cases, however, other documents may be
necessary.
You may redeem some or all of your shares by sending a
Redemption Form or other written request in proper form to
PFS Shareholder Services, 3100 Breckinridge Blvd., Bldg. 200,
Duluth, Georgia 30099-0062. You may also reach PFS Share-
holder Services by calling (800) 544-5445 or (800) 544-7278
for Spanish speaking representatives or (800) 824-1721 for
the TDD Line for the Hearing Impaired. The written request
for redemption must be in good order. This means that you
have provided the following information. Your request will
not be processed without this information.
.Name of the fund
.Account number
.Dollar amount or number of shares to redeem
.Signature of each owner exactly as the account is registered
.Other documentation required by PFS Shareholder Services
To be in good order, your request must include a signature
guarantee if:
.The proceeds of the redemption exceed $50,000
.The proceeds are not paid to the record owner(s) at the rec-
ord address
.The shareholder(s) has had an address change in the past 45
days
.The shareholder(s) is a corporation, sole proprietor, part-
nership, trust or fiduciary
You can obtain a signature guarantee from most banks, deal-
ers, brokers, credit unions and federal savings and loans,
but not from a notary public
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In all cases, your redemption price is the net asset value
next determined after your request is received in good order.
Redemption proceeds normally will be sent

within three days. However, if you recently purchased your
shares by check, your redemption proceeds will not be sent to
until your original check clears, which may take up to 15
days. Any request that your redemption proceeds be sent to a
destination other than your bank account or address of record
must be in writing and must include signature guarantees.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemptions You may redeem shares by fax as long as a signature guarantee
by fax or other documentary evidence is not required. Redemption
requests should be properly signed by all owners of the
account and faxed to PFS Shareholder Services at (800) 554-
2374. If fax redemptions are not available for any reason,
you may use the fund's regular redemption procedure described
above.

Redemptions You may redeem shares by telephone if you elect the telephone
by telephone transaction option on your account application. This is
available only for redemptions of $50,000 or less, and the
proceeds must be mailed to your address of record. In addi-
tion, you must be able to provide proper identification
information. You may not redeem by telephone if your address
has changed within the past 45 days or if your shares are in
certificate form. Telephone redemption requests may be made
by calling PFS Shareholder Services at (800) 544-5445 between
8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. eastern time on any day the New York
Stock Exchange is open. Requests received after the close of
regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange are priced at
the net asset value next computed. If telephone redemptions
are not available for any reason, you may use the fund's reg-
ular redemption procedure described above.

cash your shares on a monthly or quarterly basis. To qualify you
withdrawal must own shares of the fund with a value of at least $10,000
plan ($5,000 for retirement plan accounts) and each automatic
redemption must be at least $50. If your shares are subject
to a deferred sales charge, the sales charge will be waived
if your automatic payments are equal to or less than 1% per
month of the value of your shares subject to a deferred sales
charge. The following conditions apply:
.Shares may not be represented by certificates
.All dividends and distributions must be reinvested
.You can establish a withdrawal plan for a retirement account
only if you are eligible to receive distributions from the
account
Other things to know about share transactions
The fund has the right to:
.Suspend the offering of shares
.Waive or change minimum and additional investment amounts
.Reject any purchase or exchange order
.Change, revoke or suspend the exchange privilege
.Suspend telephone transactions
.Suspend or postpone redemptions of shares on any day when trading on the New
York Stock Exchange is restricted, or as otherwise permitted by the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission
.Pay redemption proceeds by giving you securities. You may pay transaction
costs to dispose of the securities
Small Account Balances If your account falls below $500 because of a redemption
of fund shares, the fund may ask you to bring your account up to $500. If your
account is still below $500 after 60 days, the fund may close your account and
send you the redemption proceeds.
Excessive Exchange Transactions The manager may determine that a pattern of
frequent exchanges is detrimental to the fund's performance and other share-
holders. If so, the fund may limit additional purchases and/or exchanges by the
shareholder.
Share Certificates The fund does not issue share certificates unless a written
request signed by all registered owners is made to the transfer agent. If you
hold share certificates, it will take longer to exchange or redeem shares.

Distributions, dividends and taxes
Dividends The fund declares a dividend of substantially all of its net invest-
ment income on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. Income dividends
are paid monthly. The fund generally makes capital gain distributions, if any,
once a year, typically in December. The fund may pay additional distributions
and dividends at other times if necessary for the fund to avoid a federal tax.
The fund expects distributions to be primarily from income. Dividends and capi-
tal gain distributions are reinvested in additional fund shares of the same
class that you hold. Alternatively, you can instruct your PFS Investments Reg-
istered Representative to have your distributions and/or dividends paid in
cash. You can change your choice at any time to be effective as of the next
distribution or dividend, except that any change given to the transfer agent
less than five days before the payment date will not be effective until the
next distribution or dividend is paid.
Taxes In general, receiving distributions (whether in cash or additional
shares) is a taxable event.

The fund anticipates that it will normally not earn or distribute any long-term
capital gains.
After the end of each year, the fund will provide you with information about
the distributions and dividends you received during the previous year. If you
do not provide the fund with your correct taxpayer identification number and
any required certifications, you may be subject to back-up withholding of 31%
of your distributions and dividends. Because each shareholder's circumstances
are different and special tax rules may apply, you should consult your tax
adviser about your investment in the fund.

Share price
You may buy, exchange or redeem shares at their net asset value, plus any
applicable deferred sales charge, next determined after receipt of your request
in good order. The fund's net asset value is the value of its assets minus its
liabilities. Net asset value is calculated separately for each class of shares.
The fund calculates its net asset value at noon, Eastern time, every day the
New York Stock Exchange is open. The Exchange is closed on certain holidays
listed in the SAI.
The fund uses the amortized cost method to value its portfolio securities.
Using this method, a fund constantly amortizes over the remaining life of a
security the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and the
cost of the security to the fund.

the Company for such period. Fees for directors who are not
"interested persons" of the Company and who are directors of
a group of funds sponsored by Salomon Smith Barney are set at
$42,000 per annum and are allocated based on relative net
assets of each fund in the group. In addition, these
directors received $100 per fund or portfolio for each meeting
attended and plus travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred
in connection with board meetings. The board meeting fees and
out-of-pocket expenses are borne equally by each individual
fund or portfolio in the group. During the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1998 such expenses totaled $13,732. Officers and
interested directors of the Company are compensated by Salomon
Smith Barney.

fee and meeting fees otherwise applicable to the Company's
directors, together with reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
for each meeting attended. During the Company's last
fiscal year, aggregate compensation from the Company to
Emeritus Directors (other than Mr. Fleiss who is covered in

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES
General. The Prospectus discusses each fund's investment
objective and the policies each fund employs to achieve its
objective. Each fund is an open-end, diversified management
investment company under the 1940 Act. Each fund's investment
manager is SSBC.
The funds operate as money market funds, and utilize certain
investment policies so that, to the extent reasonably
possible, each fund's price per share will not change from
$1.00, although no assurance can be given that this goal will
be achieved on a continuous basis.
Each fund's investments are limited to United States dollar-
denominated instruments (and repurchase agreements thereon)
that, at the time of acquisition (including any related credit
enhancement features) have received a rating in one of the two
highest categories (the highest category for Cash Portfolio)
for short-term debt obligations from the "Requisite NRSROs",
securities of issuers that have received such a rating with
respect to other comparable securities, and comparable unrated
securities. "Requisite NRSROs" means (a) any two nationally
recognized statistical rating organizations ("NRSROs") that
have issued a rating with respect to a security or class of
debt obligations of an issuer, or (b) one NRSRO, if only one
NRSRO has issued such a rating at the time that the Fund
acquires the security. The NRSROs currently designated as
such by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") are
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P"), Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), Duff and Phelps Inc., Fitch IBCA,
Inc. and Thompson BankWatch.
The following is a description of the types of money market
instruments in which each fund may invest:
U.S. government obligations (each fund). Obligations issued
or guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest by the
U.S. Government (including Treasury bills, notes and bonds) or
by its agencies and instrumentalities (such as the Government
National Mortgage Association, the Student Loan Marketing
Association, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Bank for
Cooperatives, the Farmers Home Administration, Federal Farm
Credit Banks, Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal Intermediate
Credit Banks, Federal Land Banks, the Export-Import Bank of
the U.S., the Federal Housing Administration, the Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation, the U.S. Postal Service, the
Federal Financing Bank and the Federal National Mortgage
Association). Some of these securities (such as Treasury
bills) are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Treasury; others (such as obligations of the Federal Home Loan
Bank) are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from
the Treasury; while still others (such as obligations of the
Student Loan Marketing Association) are supported only by the
credit of the particular agency or instrumentality.
Repurchase agreements (each fund). Each fund may enter into
repurchase agreement transactions with any broker/dealer or
other financial institution, including the funds' custodian,
that is deemed creditworthy by the Manager, under guidelines
approved by the Board of Directors. A repurchase agreement
arises when the Company acquires a security for a fund and
simultaneously agrees to resell it to the vendor at an agreed-
upon future date, normally the next business day. The resale
price is greater than the purchase price and reflects an
agreed-upon return unrelated to the coupon rate on the
purchased security. Such transactions afford an opportunity
for the fund to invest temporarily available cash at no market
risk. The fund requires continual maintenance of the market
value of the collateral in amounts at least equal to the
resale price. The fund's risk is limited to the ability of
the seller to pay the agreed-upon amount on the delivery date;
however, if the seller defaults, realization upon the
collateral by the fund may be delayed or limited, or the fund
might incur a loss if the value of the collateral securing the
repurchase agreement declines and might incur disposition
costs in connection with liquidating the collateral. The fund
will not enter into a repurchase agreement if, as a result
thereof, more than 10% of the fund's net assets at that time
would be comprised of repurchase agreements maturing in more
than seven days and/or any other investments deemed to be
illiquid.
The following are permitted investments for the Cash Portfolio
and Retirement Portfolio; the Government Portfolio will invest
only in U.S. Government obligations and repurchase agreements
secured by those obligations.
Commercial Paper and Other Short-term Obligations (Cash
Portfolio and Retirement Portfolio). Commercial paper
(including variable amount master demand notes and funding
agreements) consists of short-term, unsecured promissory notes
issued by corporations, partnerships, trusts and other
entities to finance short-term credit needs. Short-term
obligations also include mortgage-related or asset-backed debt
or debt-like instruments, including pass-through certificates
representing participation in, or bonds and notes backed by,
pools of mortgage, credit card, automobile or other types of
receivables. These structured financings will be supported by
sufficient collateral and other credit enhancements, including
letters of credit, insurance, reserve funds and guarantees by
third parties, to enable such instruments to obtain the
requisite quality ratings from NRSROs. Commercial paper and
such other short-term obligations will be rated in the highest
category for short-term debt obligations by the requisite
NRSROs at the time of acquisition by a fund, or will be
unrated securities determined to be comparable thereto.
High Quality Corporate Obligations (Cash Portfolio and
Retirement Portfolio). Obligations of corporations that are
originally issued with a maturity of greater than 397 days and
are: (1) rated as long-term debt obligations in the two
highest rating categories (the highest for Cash Portfolio) by
the requisite NRSROs and (2) issued by an issuer that has a
class of short-term debt obligations that are comparable in
priority and security with the obligation and that have been
rated in one of the two highest rating categories for short-
term debt obligations, or are otherwise comparable to short-
term debt obligations having such a rating. Each fund will
invest only in corporate obligations with remaining maturities
of 13 months or less.
Bank Obligations (Cash Portfolio and Retirement Portfolio).
Obligations (including certificates of deposit, bankers'
acceptances and fixed time deposits) and securities backed by
letters of credit of U.S. banks or other U.S. financial
institutions that are members of the Federal Reserve System or
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") (including
obligations of foreign branches of such members) if either:
(a) the principal amount of the obligation is insured in full
by the FDIC, or (b) the issuer of such obligation has capital,
surplus and undivided profits in excess of $100 million or
total assets of $1 billion (as reported in its most recently
published financial statements prior to the date of
investment). Under current FDIC regulations, the maximum
insurance payable as to any one certificate of deposit is
$100,000; therefore, certificates of deposit in denominations
greater than $100,000 that are purchased by a fund will not be
fully insured. The Cash Portfolio and Retirement Portfolio
each will not purchase a fixed time deposit with an ultimate
maturity of more than six months, and will limit its
investment in fixed time deposits maturing from two business
to seven calendar days and/or any other investments deemed to
be illiquid to 10% of its net assets.
The Cash Portfolio and Retirement Portfolio each will maintain
at least 25% of its total assets invested in obligations of
domestic and foreign banks, subject to the above-mentioned
size criteria. Each fund may invest in instruments issued by
domestic banks, including those issued by their branches
outside the United States and subsidiaries located in Canada,
and in instruments issued by foreign banks through their
branches located in the United States and the United Kingdom.
In addition, the Cash Portfolio and Retirement Portfolio may
invest in fixed time deposits of foreign banks issued through
their branches located in Grand Cayman Island, London, Nassau,
Tokyo and Toronto.
Municipal Obligations (Cash Portfolio and Retirement
Portfolio). Debt obligations of states, cities, counties,
municipalities, municipal agencies and regional districts
rated SP-1+ or A-1 or AA or better by S&P or MIG 2, VMIG 2 or
Prime-1 or Aa or better by Moody's or, if not rated, are
determined by the Manager to be of comparable quality. Cash
Portfolio only invests in municipal obligations rated in the
highest short-term rating category. At certain times,
supply/demand imbalances in the tax-exempt market cause
municipal obligations to yield more than taxable obligations
of equivalent credit quality and maturity length. The
purchase of these securities could enhance a fund's yield.
Each of Cash Portfolio and Retirement Portfolio will not
invest more than 10% of its total assets in municipal
obligations.
Time Deposits (Cash Portfolio and Retirement Portfolio). Cash
Portfolio and Retirement Portfolio may invest in fixed time
deposits with an ultimate maturity of not more than six
months. In addition, each of these funds currently intends to
limit investment in fixed time deposits with a maturity of two
business days or more, when combined with other illiquid
assets of the fund, so that not more than 10% of its assets
would be invested in all such illiquid instruments. Fixed
time deposits, unlike negotiable certificates of deposit,
generally do not have a market and may be subject to penalties
for early withdrawal of funds.
Asset-Backed Securities (Cash Portfolio and Retirement
Portfolio). Cash Portfolio and Retirement Portfolio may
invest in asset-backed securities arising through the grouping
by governmental, government-related and private organizations
of loans, receivables and other assets originated by various
lenders. Interests in pools of these assets differ from other
forms of debt securities, which normally provide for periodic
payment of interest in fixed amounts with principal paid at
maturity or specified call dates. Instead, asset-backed
securities provide periodic payments which generally consist
of both interest and principal payments.
The estimated life of an asset-backed security varies with the
prepayment experience with respect to the underlying debt
instruments. The rate of such prepayments, and hence the life
of an asset-backed security, will be primarily a function of
current market interest rates, although other economic and
demographic factors may be involved. For example, falling
interest rates generally result in an increase in the rate of
prepayments of mortgage loans while rising interest rates
generally decrease the rate of prepayments. An acceleration
in prepayments in response to sharply falling interest rates
will shorten the security's average maturity and limit the
potential appreciation in the security's value relative to a
conventional debt security. In periods of sharply rising
rates, prepayments generally slow, increasing the security's
average life and its potential for price depreciation.
Illiquid and Restricted Securities (Cash Portfolio and
Retirement Portfolio). Each fund may purchase securities that
are not registered ("restricted securities") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), but can
be offered and sold to "qualified institutional buyers" under
Rule 144A under the 1933 Act ("Rule 144A"). Each fund may
also invest a portion of its assets in illiquid investments,
which include repurchase agreements maturing in more than
seven days. The Board of Directors may determine, based upon
a continuing review of the trading markets for the specific
restricted security, that such restricted securities are
liquid. The Board of Directors has adopted guidelines and
delegated to management the daily function of determining and
monitoring liquidity of restricted securities available
pursuant to Rule 144A. The Board, however, retains sufficient
oversight and is ultimately responsible for the
determinations. Since it is not possible to predict with
assurance exactly how the market for Rule 144A restricted
securities will develop, the Board will monitor each fund's
investments in these securities, focusing on such important
factors, among others, as valuation, liquidity and
availability of information. Investments in restricted
securities could have the effect of increasing the level of
illiquidity in a fund to the extent that qualified
institutional buyers become for a time uninterested in
purchasing these restricted securities. The funds may also
purchase restricted securities that are not registered under
Rule 144A.
The Articles of Incorporation of the Company permit the Board
of Directors to establish additional funds of the Company from
time to time. The investment restrictions applicable to any
such additional fund would be established by the Board of
Directors at the time such fund were established and may
differ from those set forth above.
Other Investment Techniques
The following pertains to each fund:
Portfolio Turnover. Each fund may, to a limited degree,
engage in short-term trading to attempt to take advantage of
short-term market variations, or may dispose of a portfolio
security prior to its maturity if it believes such disposition
advisable or it needs to generate cash to satisfy redemptions.
In such cases, a fund may realize a gain or loss.
Borrowing. Each fund may borrow money from banks for
temporary or emergency purposes, including for the purpose of
accommodating requests for the redemption of shares while
effecting an orderly liquidation of portfolio securities, and
not for leveraging purposes.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Government Portfolio may
invest 1/3 of its total assets in reverse repurchase
agreements and enter into reverse repurchase agreements with
broker/dealers and other financial institutions including the
funds' custodian. Such agreements involve the sale of
portfolio securities with an agreement to repurchase the
securities at an agreed-upon price, date and interest payment
and have the characteristics of borrowing. Since the proceeds
of borrowings under reverse repurchase agreements are
invested, this would introduce the speculative factor known as
"leverage." Such transactions are only advantageous if the
Government Portfolio has an opportunity to earn a greater rate
of interest on the cash derived from the transaction than the
interest cost of obtaining that cash. Opportunities to
realize earnings from the use of the proceeds equal to or
greater than the interest required to be paid may not always
be available, and the Fund intends to use the reverse
repurchase technique only when the Manager believes it will be
advantageous to the Government Portfolio. The use of reverse
repurchase agreements may exaggerate any interim increase or
decrease in the value of the Government Portfolio's assets.
The funds' custodian bank will maintain a separate account
for the Government Portfolio with securities having a value
equal to or greater than such commitments.
RISK FACTORS
Interest Rate Risk. General changes in interest rates result
in increases or decreases in the market value of the
obligations held by a fund (but do not affect the amortized
cost valuations). The market value of the obligations held by
each fund can be expected to vary inversely to changes in
prevailing interest rates. Investors also should recognize
that, in periods of declining interest rates, each fund's
yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market
rates, and in periods of rising interest rates, each fund's
yield will tend to be somewhat lower. Also, when interest
rates are falling, the inflow of net new money to a fund from
the continuous sale of its shares will likely be invested in
instruments producing lower yields than the balance of its
investments, thereby reducing the Portfolio's current yield.
In periods of rising interest rates, the opposite can be
expected to occur.
Foreign Investments (Cash Portfolio and Retirement Portfolio).
Investments in securities issued by foreign banks or foreign
issuers present certain additional risks. Foreign issuers
generally are not subject to uniform accounting, auditing and
financial reporting standards or to other regulatory practices
and requirements applicable to domestic issuers. In addition,
there may be less publicly available information about a
foreign issuer than about a domestic issuer. Cash Portfolio
and Retirement Portfolio may invest in Eurodollar and Yankee
obligations, which are certificates of deposit issued in U.S.
dollars by foreign banks and foreign branches of U.S. banks.
The risks of Eurodollar and Yankee obligations include the
possibility that a foreign government will not allow U.S.
dollar-denominated assets to leave the foreign country and the
possibility that adverse political or economic developments
will affect investments in a foreign country.
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS AND FUNDAMENTAL POLICIES
The funds are subject to following restrictions and policies
that are "fundamental," which means that they cannot be
changed without approval by a vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of a fund affected by the
change, as defined in the 1940 Act and in accordance with Rule
18f-2 thereunder (see "Voting Rights").
Fundamental Policies - Each fund. Without the approval of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities, no fund may:
1. Invest in a manner that would cause it to fail to be a
"diversified company" under the 1940 Act and the rules,
regulations and orders thereunder. (However, since each
of the funds operates as money market fund under Rule
2a-7 under the Act, compliance with Rule 2a-7 is deemed
to satisfy the diversification requirements otherwise
applicable to diversified investment companies under the
1940 Act.)
2. Issue "senior securities" as defined in the 1940 Act and
the rules, regulations and orders thereunder, except as
permitted under the 1940 Act and the rules, regulations
and orders thereunder.
3. Borrow money, except that (a) the fund may borrow from
banks for temporary or emergency (not leveraging)
purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests
which might otherwise require the untimely disposition
of securities, and (b) the fund may, to the extent
consistent with its investment policies, enter into
reverse repurchase agreements, forward roll transactions
and similar investment strategies and techniques. To
the extent that it engages in transactions described in
(a) and (b), the fund will be limited so that no more
than 33-1/3% of the value of its total assets (including
the amount borrowed), valued at the lesser of cost or
market, less liabilities (not including the amount
borrowed) valued at the time the borrowing is made, is
derived from such transactions.
4. Make loans. This restriction does not apply to: (a) the
purchase of debt obligations in which the fund may
invest consistent with its investment objectives and
policies; (b) repurchase agreements; and (c) loans of
its portfolio securities, to the fullest extent
permitted under the 1940 Act.
5. Purchase or sell real estate, real estate mortgages,
real estate investment trust securities, commodities or
commodity contracts, but this restriction shall not
prevent each fund from (a) investing in securities of
issuers engaged in the real estate business or the
business of investing in real estate (including
interests in limited partnerships owning or otherwise
engaging in the real estate business or the business of
investing in real estate) and securities which are
secured by real estate or interests therein; (b) holding
or selling real estate received in connection with
securities it holds or held; or (c) trading in futures
contracts and options on futures contracts (including
options on currencies to the extent consistent with the
fund's investment objective and policies).
Additional Fundamental Policies - Cash Portfolio and
Retirement Portfolio. In addition to the fundamental policies
stated above for all funds:
1. Neither Cash Portfolio nor Retirement Portfolio may
invest less than 25% of its assets in bank obligations
(including both domestic and foreign bank obligations)
and reserves freedom of action to concentrate in
securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and
interest by the U.S. government, its agencies and
instrumentalities.
Nonfundamental Policies. The funds are subject to the
following restrictions and policies which are "non-
fundamental" and which may be changed by the Company's Board
of Directors without shareholder approval, subject to any
applicable disclosure requirements. As a nonfundamental
policy, no fund may:
1. Purchase any securities on margin (except for such
short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of
purchases and sales of portfolio securities) or sell any
securities short (except "against the box"). For
purposes of this restriction, the deposit or payment by
the fund of underlying securities and other assets in
escrow and collateral agreements with respect to initial
or maintenance margin in connection with futures
contracts and related options and options on securities,
indexes or similar items is not considered to be the
purchase of a security on margin.
2. Invest in securities of other investment companies
except as may be acquired as part of a merger,
consolidation, or acquisition of assets.
3. Purchase or otherwise acquire any security if, as a
result, more than 10% of its net assets would be
invested in securities that are illiquid.
4. Invest in oil and gas interests.
5. Invest in any company for the purpose of exercising
control.
6. Write or purchase put or call options.
All of the foregoing restrictions that are stated in terms of
percentages will apply at the time an investment is made; a
subsequent increase or decrease in the percentage that may
result from changes in values or net assets will not result in
a violation of the restriction. Notwithstanding any of the
foregoing investment restrictions, each of the funds may
invest up to 100% of its assets in U.S. Government
Obligations.
COMPUTATION OF YIELD
From time to time the Company may advertise the yield and
effective yield of its funds. For Cash Portfolio and
Government Portfolio, each fund may advertise the yield and
effective yield of Class A, Class L and Class Y shares. These
yield figures are based on historical earnings and are not
intended to indicate future performance. The yield of a fund
or a class refers to the net investment income generated by an
investment in the fund or the class over a specific seven-day
period (which will be stated in the advertisement). This net
investment income is then annualized. The effective yield is
calculated similarly but, when annualized, the income earned
by an investment in the fund or the class is assumed to be
reinvested. The effective yield will be slightly higher than
the yield because of the compounding effect of the assumed
reinvestment.
For the seven-day period ended December 31, 1998, the yield
for the Cash Portfolio was 4.66% (the effective yield was
4.77%) for Class A shares, 4.70% (the effective yield was
4.81%) for Class L shares, and 4.86% (the effective yield was
4.98%) for Class Y shares, with an average dollar-weighted
portfolio maturity of 62 days; the yield for the Government
Portfolio was 4.51% (the effective yield was 4.62%) for the
Class A shares, 4.54% (the effective yield was 4.64%) for
Class L shares and 4.67% (the effective yield was 4.78%) for
the Class Y shares with an average dollar-weighted maturity of
59 days; and the yield for the Retirement Portfolio was 4.67%
(the effective yield was 4.78%) with an average dollar-
weighted portfolio maturity of 55 days. The Company quotes
current yield of each fund and class by dividing the net
change in the value of a hypothetical preexisting account
having a balance of one share at the beginning of a recent
seven-day base period by the value of the account at the
beginning of the base period and multiplying this base period
return by 365/7. Net change in account value is the value of
additional shares purchased with dividends from original
shares and dividends declared on both original shares and any
additional shares, but does not include any changes in
unrealized appreciation or depreciation. In addition, for
each fund and class the Company may from time to time quote
effective yield figures assuming the compounding of dividends.
The effective yield will be slightly higher than the yield
because of the compounding effect. The Company also quotes
for each fund and class the average dollar-weighted portfolio
maturity for the corresponding seven-day period.
Although principal is not insured and there can be no
assurance that a $1.00 per share net asset value will be
maintained, it is not expected that the net asset value of any
fund's shares will fluctuate because the Company uses the
amortized cost method of valuation. (See "Valuation of Shares
and Amortized Cost Valuation.") Investors should bear in mind
that yield is a function of the type, quality and maturity of
the instruments in a fund and the fund's operating expenses.
While current yield information may be useful, investors
should realize that each fund's current yield will fluctuate,
is not necessarily representative of future results and may
not provide a basis for comparison with bank deposits or other
investments that pay a fixed yield for a stated period of
time.
VALUATION OF SHARES AND AMORTIZED COST VALUATION
The net asset value per share of each fund is determined as of
12 noon Eastern time on each day that the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE") is open by dividing the fund's net assets
attributable to each class (i.e., the value of its assets less
liabilities) by the total number of shares of the class
outstanding. Each fund may also determine net asset value per
share on days when the NYSE is not open, but when the
settlement of securities may otherwise occur. As noted above,
each fund employs the amortized cost method of valuing
portfolio securities and seeks to continue to maintain a
constant net asset value of $1.00 per share.
The Prospectus states that net asset value will be determined
on any day the NYSE is open and that the net asset value may
be determined on any day that the settlement of securities
otherwise occurs. The New York Stock Exchange is closed on
the following holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King,
Jr. Day, President's Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas
Day and on the preceding Friday or subsequent Monday when one
of these holidays falls on a Saturday or Sunday, respectively.
The Company uses the "amortized cost method" for valuing
portfolio securities pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act.
The amortized cost method of valuation of each fund's
portfolio securities involves valuing a security at its cost
at the time of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant
amortization to maturity of any discount from or premium to
the stated principal amount of the security, regardless of the
impact of fluctuating interest rates on its market value. The
market value of portfolio securities will fluctuate on the
basis of the creditworthiness of the issuers of such
securities and with changes in interest rates generally.
While the amortized cost method provides certainty in
valuation, it may result in periods during which value, as
determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower than the
price the fund would receive if it sold the instrument.
During such periods the yields to investors in a fund may
differ somewhat from that obtained in a similar fund that uses
mark-to-market values for all its portfolio securities. For
example, if the use of amortized cost resulted in a lower
(higher) aggregate portfolio value on a particular day, a
prospective investor in the funds would be able to obtain a
somewhat higher (lower) yield than would result from
investment in such similar company, and existing investors
would receive less (more) investment income.
The purpose of this method of valuation is to attempt to
maintain a constant net asset value per share, and it is
expected that the price of the funds' shares will remain at
$1.00; however, shareholders should be aware that despite
procedures that will be followed to have a stabilized price,
including maintaining a maximum dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity of 90 days and investing in securities with
remaining maturities of only 13 months or less, there is no
assurance that at some future date there will not be a rapid
change in prevailing interest rates, a default by an issuer or
some other event that could cause the fund's price per share
to change from $1.00.
IRA AND OTHER PROTOTYPE RETIREMENT PLANS
Copies of the following plans with custody or trust agreements
have been approved by the Internal Revenue Service and are
available from the Company or Salomon Smith Barney; investors
should consult with their own tax or retirement planning
advisors prior to the establishment of a plan.
IRA, Rollover IRA and Simplified Employee Pension - IRA
The Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 changed the
eligibility requirements for participants in Individual
Retirement Accounts ("IRAs"). Under these new provisions, if
you or your spouse have earned income, each of you may
establish an IRA and make maximum annual contributions equal
to the lesser of earned income or $2,000. As a result of this
legislation, married couples where one spouse is non- working
may now contribute a total of $4,000 annually to their IRAs.
The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 has changed the requirements
for determining whether or not you are eligible to make a
deductible IRA contribution. Under the new rules effective
January 1, 1998, if you are considered an active participant
in an employer-sponsored retirement plan, you may still be
eligible for a full or partial deduction depending upon your
combined adjusted gross income ("AGI"). For married couples
filing jointly for 1998, a full deduction is permitted if your
combined AGI is $50,000 or less ($30,000 for unmarried
individuals); a partial deduction will be allowed when AGI is
between $50,000-$60,000 ($30,000-$40,000 for an unmarried
individual); and no deduction is available when AGI is $60,000
or more ($40,000 for an unmarried individual). However, if
you are married and your spouse is covered by a employer-
sponsored retirement plan, but you are not, you will be
eligible for a full deduction if your combined AGI is $150,000
or less. A partial deduction is permitted if your combined
AGI is between $150,000-$160,000, and no deduction is
permitted when AGI is above $160,000.
The rules applicable to so-called "Roth IRAs" differ from
those described above.
A Rollover IRA is available to defer taxes on lump sum
payments and other qualifying rollover amounts (no maximum)
received from another retirement plan.
An employer who has established a Simplified Employee Pension
- - IRA ("SEP-IRA") on behalf of eligible employees may make a
maximum annual contribution to each participant's account of
15% (up to $24,000) of each participant's compensation.
Compensation is capped at $160,000 for 1998.
Paired Defined Contribution Prototype
Corporations (including Subchapter S corporations) and non-
corporate entities may purchase shares of the Company through
the Smith Barney Prototype Paired Defined Contribution Plan
(the "Prototype"). The Prototype permits adoption of profit-
sharing provisions, money purchase pension provisions, or
both, to provide benefits for eligible employees and their
beneficiaries. The Prototype provides for a maximum annual
tax deductible contribution on behalf of each Participant of
up to 25% of compensation, but not to exceed $30,000 (provided
that a money purchase pension plan or both a profit-sharing
plan and a money purchase pension plan are adopted
thereunder).
PURCHASE OF SHARES
Cash Portfolio and Government Portfolio. The minimum initial
investment for Class A is $1,000 for each Cash Portfolio and
Government Portfolio account and the minimum subsequent
investment is $50, except for purchases through (a) IRAs and
Self-Employed Retirement Plans, for which the minimum initial
and subsequent investments are $250 and $50, respectively, and
(b) retirement plans qualified under Section 403(b)(7) or
Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), for which the minimum initial and
subsequent investments are $25. There are no minimum
investment requirements in Class A shares for employees of
Citigroup and its subsidiaries, including Salomon Smith
Barney, and Directors or Trustees of any Travelers-affiliated
funds, including the Smith Barney Mutual Funds, and their
spouses and children. The minimum initial investment for
Class Y is $15,000,000 for each Cash Portfolio and Government
Portfolio account (except for purchases of Class Y shares by
Smith Barney Concert Allocation Series Inc., for which there
is no minimum purchase amount) and the minimum subsequent
investment is $50. For shareholders purchasing shares of a
Portfolio through the Systematic Investment Plan on a monthly
basis, the minimum initial investment requirement for Class A
shares and the subsequent investment requirement for all
classes is $25. For shareholders purchasing shares of a fund
through the Systematic Investment Plan on a quarterly basis,
the minimum initial investment requirement for Class A shares
and the subsequent investment requirement for all classes is
$50. In addition, Class Z shares, which are offered pursuant
to a separate prospectus, are offered exclusively to tax-
exempt employee benefit and retirement plans of Salomon Smith
Barney and its affiliates.
Class A and Class Y shares of the Cash Portfolio and
Government Portfolio are available for purchase directly by
investors. Class L shares of the Cash Portfolio and
Government Portfolio are available for purchase only by
Participating Plans (as defined under "Purchase of Shares-
Smith Barney 401(k) and ExecChoiceTM Programs") opened prior
to June 21, 1996, either directly or as part of an exchange
privilege transaction with certain other funds distributed by
Salomon Smith Barney. Class L shares of the Government
Portfolio that represent previously issued "Class B" shares
may only be redeemed or exchanged out of the fund.
Retirement Portfolio. Shares of the Retirement Portfolio are
offered exclusively to retirement plans under Sections 401 and
408 of the Code. To purchase these shares, a brokerage
account for your retirement plan must be established with
Salomon Smith Barney upon completion of an account application
available from your Financial Consultant. Salomon Smith
Barney has advised the fund that the minimum initial purchase
is $200 for each Retirement Portfolio account, and subsequent
investments may be $1.00 or more. Salomon Smith Barney also
has advised the fund that on each business day it will
automatically invest all good funds of $1.00 or more in the
brokerage account in full shares of the Retirement Portfolio,
and there is no charge for this service.
Each fund's shares are sold continuously at their net asset
value next determined after a purchase order is received and
becomes effective. A purchase order becomes effective, and
income dividends begin to accrue, when the fund, Salomon Smith
Barney or an Introducing Broker receives, or converts the
purchase amount into, Federal funds (i.e., monies of member
banks within the Federal Reserve System held on deposit at a
Federal Reserve Bank). When orders for the purchase of fund
shares are paid for in Federal funds which is required if
shares are purchased through First Data, or are placed by an
investor with sufficient Federal funds or cash balance in the
investor's brokerage account with Salomon Smith Barney or the
Introducing Broker, the order becomes effective on the day of
receipt if received prior to 12 noon, Eastern time, on any day
the Fund calculates its net asset value. See "Valuation of
Shares." Purchase orders received after 12 noon on any
business day are effective as of the next time the net asset
value is determined. When orders for the purchase of fund
shares are paid for other than in Federal funds, Salomon Smith
Barney or the Introducing Broker, acting on behalf of the
investor, will complete the conversion into, or itself
advance, Federal funds, and the order will become effective on
the day following its receipt by the fund, Salomon Smith
Barney or the Introducing Broker.
Systematic Investment Plan. Shareholders may make additions
to their accounts at any time by purchasing shares through a
service known as the Systematic Investment Plan. Under the
Systematic Investment Plan, Salomon Smith Barney or First Data
is authorized through preauthorized transfers of at least $25
on a monthly basis or at least $50 on a quarterly basis to
charge the regular bank account or other financial institution
indicated by the shareholder, to provide systematic additions
to the shareholder's Portfolio account. A shareholder who has
insufficient funds to complete the transfer will be charged a
fee of up to $25 by Salomon Smith Barney or First Data.
Additional information is available from the fund or a Salomon
Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
Smith Barney 401(k) and ExecChoiceTM Programs. Investors may
be eligible to participate in the Smith Barney 401(k) Program
or the Smith Barney ExecChoiceTM Program. To the extent
applicable, the same terms and conditions, which are outlined
below, are offered to all plans participating ("Participating
Plans") in these programs.
The Cash Portfolio and Government Portfolio each offers to
Participating Plans Class A shares as an investment choice
under the Smith Barney 401(k) and ExecChoiceTM Programs,
provided the Participating Plan makes an initial investment of
$1,000,000 or more in Class A shares of one or more funds of
the Smith Barney Mutual Funds. Class A shares acquired
through the Participating Plans are subject to the same
service and/or distribution fees as the Class A shares
acquired by other investors; however, they are not subject to
any initial sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge
("CDSC").
Class L shares of the Cash Portfolio and Government Portfolio
are not available for purchase by Participating Plans opened
on or after June 21, 1996, but may continue to be purchased by
any Participating Plan opened prior to such date and
originally investing in such class. Class L shares acquired
are not subject to any sales charge or CDSC.
In any year after the date a Participating Plan enrolled in
the Smith Barney 401(k) Program, if its total Class L holdings
in all non-money market Smith Barney Mutual Funds equal at
least $500,000 as of the calendar year-end, the Participating
Plan will be offered the opportunity to exchange all of its
Class L shares for Class A shares of the same Portfolio. Such
Plans will be notified in writing within 30 days after the
last business day of the calendar year and, unless the
exchange offer has been rejected in writing, the exchange will
occur on or about the last business day of the following
March.
Any Participating Plan that has not previously qualified for
an exchange into Class A shares will be offered the
opportunity to exchange all of its Class L shares for Class A
shares of the same Portfolio, regardless of asset size, at the
end of the eighth year after the date the Participating Plan
enrolled in the Smith Barney 401(k) Program. Such
Participating Plans will be notified of the pending exchange
in writing approximately 60 days before the eighth anniversary
of the enrollment date and, unless the exchange has been
rejected in writing, the exchange will occur on or about the
eighth anniversary date. Once an exchange has occurred, a
Participating Plan will not be eligible to acquire additional
Class L shares of the Portfolio but instead may acquire Class
A shares of the Portfolio.
Participating Plans wishing to acquire shares of the Cash
Portfolio and Government Portfolio through the Smith Barney
401(k) Program or the Smith Barney ExecChoiceTM Program must
purchase such shares directly from First Data. For further
information regarding these Programs, investors should contact
a Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
Letter of Intent - Class Y Shares. A Letter of Intent may be
used as a way for investors to meet the minimum investment
requirement for Class Y shares. Such investors must make an
initial minimum purchase of $5,000,000 in Class Y shares of
the Fund and agree to purchase a total of $15,000,000 of Class
Y Shares of the Fund within 13 months from the date of the
Letter. If a total investment of $15,000,000 is not made
within the 13-month period, all Class Y shares purchased
during such period will be transferred to Class A shares,
where they will be subject to all fees (including a service
fee of 0.25%) and expenses applicable to the Fund's Class A
shares, which may include a CDSC of 1.00%. Please contact a
Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or the Transfer
Agent for further information.
REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Shareholders may redeem their shares without charge on any day
a fund calculates its net asset value. See "Valuation of
Shares and Amortized Cost Valuation." Redemption requests
received in proper form before 12 noon, Eastern time, are
priced at the net asset value as next determined on that day.
Redemption requests received after 12 noon, Eastern time, are
priced at the net asset value next determined. Redemption
requests must be made through a Salomon Smith Barney Financial
Consultant, dealer representative or for PFS accounts through
PFS Shareholders Services, through whom the shares were
purchased, except that shareholders who purchased shares of
the fund from First Data may also redeem shares directly
through First Data. A shareholder desiring to redeem shares
represented by certificates also must present the certificates
to a Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant, dealer
representative or First Data endorsed for transfer (or
accompanied by an endorsed stock power), signed exactly as the
shares are registered. Redemption requests involving shares
represented by certificates will not be deemed received until
the certificates are received by First Data in proper form.
Each fund normally transmits redemption proceeds on the
business day following receipt of a redemption request but, in
any event, payment will be made within three days thereafter,
exclusive of days on which the NYSE is closed and the
settlement of securities does not otherwise occur, or as
permitted under the 1940 Act in extraordinary circumstances.
Generally, if the redemption proceeds are remitted to a
Salomon Smith Barney brokerage account, these funds will not
be invested for the shareholder's benefit without specific
instruction and Salomon Smith Barney will benefit from the use
of temporarily uninvested funds. A shareholder who pays for
fund shares by personal check will be credited with the
proceeds of a redemption of those shares only after the
purchase check has been collected, which may take up to ten
days or more. A shareholder who anticipates the need for more
immediate access to his or her investment should purchase
shares with Federal funds, by bank wire or with a certified or
cashier's check.
Fund shareholders who purchase securities through a Salomon
Smith Barney Financial Consultant or dealer representative may
take advantage of special redemption procedures under which
Class A shares of the fund will be redeemed automatically to
the extent necessary to satisfy debit balances arising in the
shareholder's account with a Salomon Smith Barney Financial
Consultant or dealer representative. One example of how an
automatic redemption may occur involves the purchase of
securities. If a shareholder purchases securities but does
not pay for them by the settlement date, the number of fund
shares necessary to cover the debit will be redeemed
automatically as of the settlement date, which usually occurs
three business days after the trade date. Class A shares that
are subject to a CDSC (see "Redemption of Shares-Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge") are not eligible for such automatic
redemption and will only be redeemed upon specific request.
If the shareholder does not request redemption of such
shares, the shareholder's account with a Salomon Smith Barney
Financial Consultant or dealer representative may be margined
to satisfy debit balances if sufficient fund shares that are
not subject to any applicable CDSC are unavailable. No fee is
currently charged with respect to these automatic
transactions. Shareholders not wishing to participate in
these arrangements should notify their Salomon Smith Barney
Financial Consultant or dealer representative.
A written redemption request must (a) state the class and
number or dollar amount of shares to be redeemed, (b) identify
the shareholder's account number and (c) be signed by each
registered owner exactly as the shares are registered. If the
shares to be redeemed were issued in certificate form, the
certificates must be endorsed for transfer (or be accompanied
by an endorsed stock power) and must be submitted to First
Data together with the redemption request. Any signature
appearing on a written redemption request in excess of
$10,000, share certificate or stock power must be guaranteed
by an eligible guarantor institution such as a domestic bank,
savings and loan institution, domestic credit union, member
bank of the Federal Reserve System or member firm of a
national securities exchange. Written redemption requests of
$10,000 or less do not require a signature guarantee unless
more than one such redemption request is made in any 10-day
period. Redemption proceeds will be mailed to an investor's
address of record. First Data may require additional
supporting documents for redemptions made by corporations,
executors, administrators, trustees or guardians. A
redemption request will not be deemed properly received until
First Data receives all required documents in proper form.
Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program. To determine if a
shareholder is entitled to participate in this program, he or
she should contact First Data at 1-800-451-2010. Once
eligibility is confirmed, the shareholder must complete and
return a Telephone/Wire Authorization Form, along with a
signature guarantee, that will be provided by First Data upon
request. (Alternatively, an investor may authorize telephone
redemptions on the new account application with the
applicant's signature guarantee when making his/her initial
investment in the fund.)
Redemptions. Redemption requests of up to $10,000 of any
class or classes of a fund's shares may be made by eligible
shareholders by calling First Data at 1-800-451-2010. Such
requests may be made between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (Eastern
time) on any day the NYSE is open. Requests received after the
close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net
asset value next determined. Redemptions of shares (i) by
retirement plans or (ii) for which certificates have been
issued are not permitted under this program.
A shareholder will have the option of having the redemption
proceeds mailed to his/her address of record or wired to a
bank account predesignated by the shareholder. Generally,
redemption proceeds will be mailed or wired, as the case may
be, on the next business day following the redemption request.
In order to use the wire procedures, the bank receiving the
proceeds must be a member of the Federal Reserve System or
have a correspondent relationship with a member bank. The
fund reserves the right to charge shareholders a nominal fee
for each wire redemption. Such charges, if any, will be
assessed against the shareholder's account from which shares
were redeemed. In order to change the bank account designated
to receive redemption proceeds, a shareholder must complete a
new Telephone/Wire Authorization Form and, for the protection
of the shareholder's assets, will be required to provide a
signature guarantee and certain other documentation.
Exchanges. Eligible shareholders may make exchanges by
telephone if the account registration of the shares of the
fund being acquired is identical to the registration of the
shares of the fund exchanged. Such exchange requests may be
made by calling First Data at 1-800-451-2010 between 9:00 a.m.
and 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on any day on which the NYSE is
open. See "Exchange Privilege" for more information.
Additional information regarding Telephone Redemption and
Exchange Program. Neither the funds nor their agents will be
liable for following instructions communicated by telephone
that are reasonably believed to be genuine. Each fund and its
agents will employ procedures designed to verify the identity
of the caller and legitimacy of instructions (for example, a
shareholder's name and account number will be required and
phone calls may be recorded). Each fund reserves the right to
suspend, modify or discontinue the telephone redemption and
exchange program or to impose a charge for this service at any
time following at least seven (7) days prior notice to
shareholders.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge - Cash Portfolio and
Government Portfolio
Class A shares of the Cash Portfolio and Government Portfolio
and Class L shares of the Government Portfolio that represent
previously issued "Class B" shares acquired as part of an
exchange privilege transaction, which were originally acquired
in one of the other Smith Barney Mutual Funds at net asset
value subject to a CDSC, continue to be subject to any
applicable CDSC of the original fund. Therefore, such Class A
and Class L shares that are redeemed within 12 months of the
date of purchase of the original fund may be subject to a CDSC
of 1.00%. The amount of any CDSC will be paid to and retained
by Salomon Smith Barney. The CDSC will be assessed based on
an amount equal to the account value at the time of
redemption, and will not be imposed on increases in value
above the initial purchase price in the original fund. In
addition, no charge will be assessed on shares derived from
reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions.
In determining the applicability of any CDSC, it will be
assumed that a redemption is made first of shares representing
capital appreciation, next of shares representing the
reinvestments of dividends and capital gain distributions and
finally of other shares held by the shareholder for the
longest period of time. The length of time that Class A and
Class L shares have been held will be calculated from the date
that the shares were initially acquired in one of the other
Smith Barney Mutual Funds, and the amount of shares being
redeemed will be considered to represent, as applicable, the
value of capital appreciation or dividend and capital gain
distribution reinvestments in such other funds. For federal
income tax purposes, the amount of the CDSC will reduce the
gain (if any) or increase the loss (if any), as the case may
be, on redemption.
The CDSC on Class A and Class L shares, if any, will be waived
on (a) exchanges (see "Exchange Privilege" below); (b)
redemptions of shares within twelve months following the death
or disability of the shareholder; (c) redemption of shares
made in connection with qualified distributions from
retirement plans or IRAs upon the attainment of age 59 1/2;
(d) involuntary redemptions; and (e) redemptions of shares to
effect a combination of a Portfolio with any investment
company by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise. In
addition, a shareholder who has redeemed shares from other
funds of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds may, under certain
circumstances, reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds
within 60 days and receive pro rata credit for any CDSC
imposed on the prior redemption.
CDSC waivers will be granted subject to confirmation (by
Salomon Smith Barney in the case of shareholders who are also
Salomon Smith Barney clients or by First Data in the case of
all other shareholders) of the shareholder's status or
holdings, as the case may be.
For information concerning the CDSC applicable to Class A and
Class L shares acquired through the Smith Barney 401(k) or
ExecChoiceTM Program, see "Purchase of Shares."
PFS Accounts. Initial purchases of shares of each Fund must
be made through a PFS Investments Registered Representative by
completing the appropriate application found in this
Prospectus. The completed application should be forwarded to
PFS Shareholder Services, the Sub-Transfer Agent. 3100
Breckinridge Blvd., Bldg. 200 Duluth, Georgia 30099-0062.
Checks drawn on foreign banks must be payable in U.S. dollars
and have the routing number of the U.S. bank encoded on the
check. Subsequent investments may be sent directly to the
Sub-Transfer Agent. In processing applications and
investments. First Data Investor Services Group, Inc. the
Transfer Agent acts as agent for the investor and for PFS
Investments and also as agent for the Distributor, in
accordance with the Terms of the Prospectus. If the Transfer
Agent ceases to act as such, a successor company named by the
Trust will act in the same capacity so long as the accounts
remains open.
Redemption proceeds can be sent by check to the address of
record or by wire transfer to a bank account designated on the
application. A shareholder will be charged a $25 service fee
for wire transfers and a nominal service fee for transfers
made directly to the shareholders bank by the Automated
Clearinghouse(ACH). The Sub-Transfer Agent will process and
mail usually within two to three business days after receiving
the redemption request in good order. The shareholder
May request the proceeds to be mailed by two day air express
for a $8 fee that will be deducted from the shareholders
account or by one day express for a $15 fee that will be
deducted from the shareholder's account.
Shares purchased will be held in the shareholder's account by
the Sub-Transfer Agent. Share certificates are issued only
upon a shareholder's written request to the Sub-Transfer
Agent. A shareholder holding shares for which certificates
have not been issued may appoint the Fund's Sub-Transfer Agent
as agent and request , on the application form ,special forms
of drafts payable through Fidelity National Bank . the Sub-
Transfer Agent issues these drafts on behalf of the Portfolio
in books of ten drafts for which there is a charge by PFS of
$7.50 per book. A shareholder who has insufficient funds to
complete any purchase, including those for Systematic
Investment Plans, will be charged a fee of up to $27.50 per
returned purchase by PFS or the Sub-Transfer Agent.
Additionally, PFS Distributors, Inc. pays to PFS Investments
a promotional fee calculated as a percentage of the sales
charge reallowed to PFS. The percentage used in the
calculation is 3%.
An Account Transcript is available at a shareholder's request
which identifies every financial transaction in an account
since it was opened. To defray administrative expenses
involved with providing multiple years worth of information,
there is a $15 charge for each Account Transcript requested.
Additional copies of tax forms are available at the
shareholder's request. A fee of $10 for each tax form will be
assessed.
Upon completion of certain automated systems, shareholders who
establish telephone transaction authority on their account and
supply bank account information may make additions to their
accounts at any time. Shareholders should contact the Sub-
Transfer Agent at (800) 544-5445 between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00
p.m. eastern time any day that the NYSE is open. If a
shareholder does not wish to allow telephone subsequent
investments by any person in his account, he should decline
the telephone transaction option on the account application.
The minimum telephone subsequent investment is $250 and can
be up to a maximum of $10,000. By requesting a purchase by
telephone, you authorize the Sub-Transfer Agent to transfer
funds from the bank account provided for the amount of the
purchase. A shareholder who has insufficient funds to
complete the transfer will be charged a fee of up to $27.50 by
PFS or the Sub-Transfer Agent. A shareholder who places a
stop payment on a transfer or the transfer is returned because
the account has been closed, will also be charged a fee of up
to $27.50 by PFS or the Sub-Transfer Agent. Subsequent
investments by telephone may not be available if the
shareholder cannot reach the Sub-Transfer Agent whether
because all telephone lines are busy or for any other reason;
in such case, a shareholder would have to use the Fund's
regular subsequent investment procedure described above.
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE
Except as otherwise noted below, shares of each class may be
exchanged for shares of the same class in any of the Smith
Barney Mutual Funds, to the extent shares are offered for sale
in the shareholder's state of residence. Exchanges of Class
A and Class L shares are subject to minimum investment
requirements and all shares are subject to other terms or
requirements of the fund into which exchanges are made and a
sales charge may apply.
Class A Exchanges. Class A shares of each fund will be
subject to the applicable sales charge upon the exchange of
such shares for Class A shares of another fund of the Smith
Barney Mutual Funds sold with a sales charge.
Class Y Exchanges. Class Y shareholders of a fund who wish to
exchange all or a portion of their Class Y shares for Class Y
shares in any of the funds identified above may do so without
imposition of any charge.
Additional Information Regarding the Exchange Privilege.
Excessive exchange transactions may be detrimental to each
fund's performance and its shareholders. The investment
manager may determine that a pattern of frequent exchanges is
excessive and contrary to the best interests of a fund's other
shareholders. In this event the fund may, at its discretion,
decide to limit additional purchases and/or exchanges by the
shareholder. Upon such a determination the fund will provide
notice in writing or by telephone to the shareholder at least
15 days prior to suspending the exchange privilege and during
the 15 day period the shareholder will be required to (a)
redeem his or her shares in the fund or (b) remain invested in
the Portfolio or exchange into any of the funds of the Smith
Barney Mutual Funds ordinarily available, which position the
shareholder would be expected to maintain for a significant
period of time. All relevant factors will be considered in
determining what constitutes an abusive pattern of exchanges.
Certain shareholders may be able to exchange shares by
telephone. See "Redemption of Shares - Telephone Redemption
and Exchange Program." Exchanges will be processed at the net
asset value next determined, plus any applicable sales charge.
Redemption procedures discussed above are also applicable for
exchanging shares, and exchanges will be made upon receipt of
all supporting documents in proper form. If the account
registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is
identical to the registration of the shares of the fund
exchanged, no signature guarantee is required. Before
exchanging shares, investors should read the current
prospectus describing the shares to be acquired. These
exchange privileges are available to shareholders resident in
any state in which the fund shares being acquired may legally
be sold. The Company reserves the right to modify or
discontinue exchange privileges upon 60 days' prior notice to
shareholders.
TAXES
The following is a general summary of selected federal income
tax considerations that may affect the funds and their
shareholders. In addition to the considerations described
below, there may be other federal, state, local, or foreign
tax applications to consider. The summary does not address
all of the federal income tax consequences potentially
applicable to the funds, or to all categories of investors,
some of which may be subject to special tax rules. The
summary is not intended as a substitute for individual tax
advice and investors are urged to consult their own tax
advisors as to the tax consequences of an investment in a
fund.
Dividends and Automatic Reinvestment. Net investment income
includes interest accrued and discount earned and all short
term realized gains and losses on portfolio securities and is
less premium amortized and expenses accrued. If a shareholder
redeems in full an account between payment days, all dividends
declared up to and including the date of liquidation will be
paid with the proceeds from the redemption of shares. The per
share dividends of Class A and Class L shares of the Cash
Portfolio and the Government Portfolio may be less than the
per share dividends of Class Y shares of each such Portfolio
principally as a result of the service fee applicable to
Class A and Class L shares. Long-term capital gains, if any,
will be in the same per share amount for each class and will
be distributed annually.
Each fund has qualified and intends to qualify each year as a
regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code by
complying with certain requirements regarding the sources and
distribution of its income and the diversification of its
assets. As a regulated investment company, each fund will not
be subject to Federal income taxes to the extent that it
distributes its investment company taxable income and, if any,
net capital gain in accordance with the Code's timing and
other requirements. For Federal income tax purposes,
dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, whether in
shares or cash, are taxable to shareholders of each fund that
are not tax-exempt or tax deferred retirement plans, accounts
or entities. Each fund anticipates that all or substantially
all of its distributions will be taxable as ordinary income
under the Code. Under the Internal Revenue Code, no portion
of the Fund's distributions will be eligible for the dividends
received deduction for corporations.
Dividends and other distributions by the funds are generally
treated under the Code as received by the shareholders at the
time the dividend or distribution is made. However, any
dividends or other distributions declared by a fund in
October, November or December and made payable to shareholders
of record in such a month would be treated under the Code as
if received by shareholders on December 31 of the year in
which they are declared if they are paid in the following
January.
Dividends to shareholders who are nonresident aliens or
foreign entities may be subject to nonresident alien
withholding (which differs from the backup withholding
described in the Prospectus) of federal income tax at a
maximum rate of 30%, subject to possible reduction under an
applicable income tax treaty (if any). Other distributions to
these shareholders may be subject to backup withholding unless
their foreign status is properly certified in the manner
required under the Code. Nonresident aliens and foreign
entities should consult their own tax advisers regarding these
and other possible tax consequences of investing in the funds.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND OTHER SERVICES
Manager. SSBC manages the day to day operations of each fund
pursuant to management agreements entered into by the Company

recommendations with respect to other aspects of the business
and affairs of each fund. It also furnishes each fund with
executive and other personnel; management, bookkeeping,
accounting and administrative services; office space and
equipment; and the services of the officers and employees of
the funds. SSBC is a subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney

Each fund's management agreement further provides that all
other expenses not specifically assumed by the Manager under
the agreement are borne by the Company. Expenses payable by
the Company include, but are not limited to, all charges of
custodians (including sums as custodian and sums for keeping
books, performing portfolio valuations, and for rendering
other services to the Company) and shareholder servicing
agents, filing fees and expenses relating to the registration
and qualification of the Company's shares under Federal or
state securities laws and maintaining such registrations and
qualifications (including the printing of the Company's
registration statements and prospectuses), expenses of
preparing, printing and distributing all proxy material,
reports and notices to shareholders, out-of-pocket expenses of
directors and fees of directors who are not "interested
persons" as defined in the 1940 Act, fees of auditors and
legal counsel, interest, taxes, fees and commissions of every
kind, expenses of issue, repurchase or redemption of shares,
and all other costs incident to the Company's corporate
existence and extraordinary expenses such as litigation and
indemnification expenses. Direct expenses are charged to the
relevant fund; general corporate expenses of the Company are
allocated among all the funds on the basis of relative net
assets. No sales or promotion expenses are incurred by the
Fund, but expenses incurred in complying with laws regulating
the issue or sale of the Company's shares are not deemed sales
or promotion expenses.
The Manager has agreed that if in any fiscal year the total
expenses of any fund, exclusive of taxes, brokerage, interest
and extraordinary expenses, exceed 0.70% of the average daily
net assets for that fiscal year of the fund, the Manager will
reduce its fee to the extent of such excess, or reimburse any
such excess amount to the relevant fund. The 0.70% voluntary
expense limitation shall be in effect until it is terminated
by 14 days' written notice to shareholders and by supplement
to the then current prospectus.
Each fund's management agreement will continue in effect if
specifically approved annually by a majority of the directors
of the Company, including a majority of the directors who are
not parties to such contract or "interested persons" of any
such parry. Each agreement may be terminated without penalty
by either of the parties on 60 days' written notice and must
terminate in the event of its assignment. It may be amended
or modified only if approved by vote of the holders of "a
majority of the outstanding voting securities" of such fund as
defined in the 1940 Act and rules thereunder which is
discussed below under "Voting Rights."
Each agreement provides that the Manager is not liable for any
act or omission in the course of or in connection with
rendering services under the agreement in the absence of
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of its obligations or duties.
The term "Smith Barney" in the title of the Company has been
adopted by permission of Salomon Smith Barney and is subject
to the right of Salomon Smith Barney to elect that the Company
stop using the term in any form or combination of its name.
Distributor. CFBDS, Inc., located at 20 Milk Street, Boston,
MA 02109-5408, serves as the fund's distributor on a best
efforts basis pursuant to a distribution agreement dated
October 8, 1998 (the "Distribution Agreement"), which was
approved by the fund's board of directors. Prior to the
merger of Travelers Group, Inc. and Citicorp on October 8,
1998, Salomon Smith Barney and PFS Distributors, Inc. served
as the fund's distributors.
To compensate Salomon Smith Barney and PFS Distributors, Inc.
("PFS") for the service they provide and for the expense they
bear under the Distribution Agreement, the fund has adopted a
services and distribution plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule
12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the fund pays
Salomon Smith Barney a service fee, accrued daily and paid
monthly, calculated at the annual rate of 0.10% of the value
of the fund's average daily net assets attributable to the
Class A and Class L shares. The fund also pays PFS a service
fee of 0.10% for each Class A share held in accounts
attributable to PFS.
Brokerage. The Manager places orders for the purchase and
sale of securities for the funds of the Company. All of the
portfolio transactions have been principal transactions with
major dealers in money market instruments, on which no
brokerage commissions are paid. Purchases from or sales to
dealers serving as market-makers include the spread between
the bid and asked prices. No portfolio transactions are
handled by Salomon Smith Barney.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS
The Company, an open-end, diversified management investment
company, was incorporated under Maryland law on May 28, 1974.
The Company currently has outstanding three series of shares,
representing shares in separate Funds - the Cash Portfolio,
the Government Portfolio and the Retirement Portfolio - and
the Company's Board of Directors may authorize the creation of
additional series of shares. Each share of a fund or class
represents an equal proportionate interest in the net assets
of that fund or class with each other share of the same fund
or class and is entitled to such dividends and distributions
out of the net income of that fund or class as are declared in
the discretion of the Board. Shareholders are entitled to one
vote for each share held and will vote in the aggregate and
not by fund or class except as otherwise required by the 1940
Act or Maryland law. In the event of the liquidation or
dissolution of a fund or of the Company, shares of a fund are
entitled to receive the assets belonging to that fund and a
proportionate distribution of any general assets not belonging
to any particular fund that are available for distribution
based upon the relative net assets of the respective funds.
VOTING RIGHTS
As permitted by Maryland law, there will normally be no
meetings of shareholders for the purpose of electing directors
unless and until such time as less than a majority of the
directors holding office have been elected by shareholders.
At that time, the directors then in office will call a
shareholders' meeting for the election of directors. The
directors must call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose
of voting upon the question of removal of any director when
requested in writing to do so by the record holders of not
less than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Company. At
such a meeting, a director may be removed after the holders of
record of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares
of the Company have declared that the director be removed
either by declaration in writing or by votes cast in person or
by proxy. Except as set forth above, the directors shall
continue to hold office and may appoint successor directors.
Rule 18f-2 under the 1940 Act provides that any matter
required to be submitted by the provisions of the Act or
applicable state law, or otherwise, to the holders of the
outstanding voting securities of an investment company shall
not be deemed to have been effectively acted upon unless
approved by "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities" (as defined below) of each fund or class affected
by the matter. Rule 18f-2 further provides that a fund or
class shall be deemed to be affected by a matter unless it is
clear that the interests of each fund or class in a matter are
identical or that the matter does not affect any interest of
the fund or class. Under the rule the approval of a
management agreement or any change in a fundamental investment
policy would be effectively acted upon with respect to a fund
only if approved by a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the fund affected by the matter. The rule,
however, also provides that the ratification of independent
public accountants, the election of directors, and the
approval of a distribution agreement that is submitted to
shareholders are not subject to the separate voting
requirements and may be effectively acted upon by a vote of
the holders of a majority of all Company shares voting without
regard to fund.
As used in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional
Information, a "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities" means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a)
more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company (or the
affected fund or class) or (b) 67% or more of such shares
present at a meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding
shares of the Company (or the affected fund or class) are
represented at the meeting in person or by proxy.
Following are the names, addresses and percent of ownership of
each person who owns of record or is known by the Company to
own of record of beneficially 5% or more of any Class of a
fund as of April 9, 1999:

Independent Auditors. KPMG LLP, 345 Park Avenue, New York,
New York 10154, has been selected as independent auditors for
each fund for its fiscal year ending December 31, 1999 to
examine and report on each fund's financial statements and
financial highlights.
Annual and Semi-Annual Reports. The Company sends its
shareholders a semi-annual report and an audited annual
report, which include listings of the investment securities
held by each fund at the end of the period covered. In an
effort to reduce the funds' printing and mailing costs, the
funds plans to consolidate the mailing of their semi-annual
and annual reports by household. This consolidation means
that a household having multiple accounts with the identical
address of record will receive a single copy of each report.
Shareholders who do not want this consolidation to apply to
their accounts should contact their Salomon Smith Barney
Financial Consultant, PFS Investments Registered
Representative or the transfer agent.
Minimum Account Size. The Company reserves the right to
redeem involuntarily any shareholder's account in Cash
Portfolio or Government Portfolio if the aggregate net asset
value of the shares held in the account in either fund is less
than $500, and to redeem involuntarily any shareholder's
account in Retirement Portfolio if the aggregate net asset
value of the shares held in the account is less than $100.
With respect to Cash Portfolio and Government Portfolio, any
applicable CDSC will be deducted from the proceeds of this
redemption. (If a shareholder has more than one account in
these funds, each account must satisfy the minimum account
size.) Before the Board of Directors of the Company elects to
exercise such right, shareholders will receive prior written
notice and will be permitted 60 days to bring accounts up to
the minimum to avoid involuntary redemption.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1998 is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The Annual Report was filed on March 15, 1999, accession
number 91155-99-000151.
APPENDIX A - SECURITIES RATINGS
BOND (AND NOTES) RATINGS
Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
Aaa - Bonds that are rated "Aaa" are judged to be of the
best quality. They carry the smallest degree of investment
risk and are generally referred to as "gilt edged." Interest
payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally
stable margin and principal is secure. While the various
protective elements are likely to change, such changes as can
be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally
strong position of such issues.
Aa - Bonds that are rated '"Aa" are judged to be of high
quality by all standards. Together with the "Aaa" group they
comprise what are generally known as high grade bonds. They
are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of
protection may not be as large as in "Aaa" securities or
fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude
or there may be other elements present that make the long term
risks appear somewhat larger than in "Aaa" securities.
Note: The modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks
in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier
2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates
that the issue ranks in the lower end of its generic rating
category.
Standard & Poor's Rating Group
AAA - Debt rated "AAA" has the highest rating assigned
by Standard & Poor's. Capacity to pay interest and repay
principal is extremely strong.
AA - Debt rated "AA" has a very strong capacity to pay
interest and repay principal and differs from the highest
rated issues only in small degree.
Plus (+) or Minus (-): The rating of "AA" may be
modified by the addition of a plus or minus sign to show
relative standing within the major rating categories.
Provisional Ratings: The letter "p" indicates that the
rating is provisional. A provisional rating assumes the
successful completion of the project being financed by the
debt being rated and indicates that payment of debt service
requirements is largely or entirely dependent upon the
successful and timely completion of the project. This rating,
however, while addressing credit quality subsequent to
completion of the project, makes no comment on the likelihood
of' or the risk of default upon failure of' such completion.
The investor should exercise judgment with respect to such
likelihood and risk.
L - The letter "L" indicates that the rating pertains to
the principal amount of those bonds where the underlying
deposit collateral is fully insured by the Federal Savings &
Loan Insurance Corp. or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
+ - Continuance of the rating is contingent upon S&Ps
receipt of closing documentation confirming investments and
cash flow.
* - Continuance of the rating is contingent upon S&Ps
receipt of an executed copy of the escrow agreement.
Fitch IBCA, Inc.
AAA - Bonds rated AAA by Fitch have the lowest
expectation of credit risk. The obligor has an exceptionally
strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments
which is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by
foreseeable events.
AA - Bonds rated AA by Fitch have a very low expectation
of credit risk. They indicate very strong capacity for timely
payment of financial commitments. This capacity is not
significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.
Plus (+) Minus (-): Plus and minus signs are used with
a rating symbol to indicate the relative position of a credit
within the rating category. Plus and minus signs, however,
are not used in the "AAA" category.
COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS
Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
Issuers rated "Prime-1" (or related supporting
institutions) have a superior capacity for repayment of short-
term promissory obligations. Prime-1 repayment will normally
be evidenced by the following characteristics: leading market
positions in well-established industries; high rates of return
on funds employed; conservative capitalization structures with
moderated reliance on debt and ample asset protection; broad
margins in earnings coverage of fixed financial changes and
high internal cash generation; well-established access to a
range of financial markets and assured sources of alternate
liquidity.
Issuers rated "Prime-2" (or related supporting
institutions) have strong capacity for repayment of short-term
promissory obligations. This will normally be evidenced by
many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser
degree. Earnings trends and coverage rations, while sound,
will be more subject to variation. Capitalization
characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more affected
by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is
maintained.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group
A-1 - This designation indicates that the degree of
safety regarding timely payment is either overwhelming or very
strong. Those issuers determined to possess overwhelming
safety characteristics will be denoted with a plus (+) sign
designation.
A-2 - Capacity for timely payment on issues with this
designation is strong. However, the relative degree of safety
is not as high as for issues designated A-1.
Fitch IBCA, Inc.
Fitch's short-term ratings apply to debt obligations
that are payable on demand or have original maturities of
generally up to three years, including commercial paper,
certificates of deposit, medium-term notes, and municipal and
investment notes.
The short-term rating places greater emphasis than a
long-term rating on the existence of liquidity necessary to
meet financial commitment in a timely manner.
Fitch's short-term ratings are as follows:
F1+ - Issues assigned this rating are regarded as having
the strongest capacity for timely payments of financial
commitments. The "+" denotes an exceptionally strong credit
feature.
Fl - Issues assigned this rating are regarded as having
the strongest capacity for timely payment of financial
commitments.
F2 - Issues assigned this rating have a satisfactory
capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, but the
margin of safety is not as great as in the case of the higher
ratings.
Duff & Phelps Inc.
Duff 1+ - Indicates the highest certainty of timely
payment: short-term liquidity is clearly outstanding, and
safety is just below risk-free United States Treasury short-
term obligations.
Duff 1 - Indicates a high certainty of timely payment.
Duff 2 - Indicates a good certainty of timely payment
liquidity factors and company fundamentals are sound.
Thompson BankWatch ("TBW")
TBW-1 - Indicates a very high degree of likelihood that
principal and interest will be paid on a timely basis.
TBW-2 - while the degree of safety regarding timely
repayment of principal and interest is strong, the relative
degree of safety is not as high as for issues rated TBW- 1.
