Investments, risks and performance
Investment objective
The fund seeks to maximize current interest income which is excluded from gross
income for regular federal income tax purposes to the extent consistent with
prudent investment management and the preservation of capital.
Principal investment strategies
Key investments The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal secu-
rities. Municipal securities include securities issued by any of the 50 states
and certain other municipal issuers, political subdivisions, agencies and pub-
lic authorities that pay interest which is exempt from federal income tax. The
fund focuses primarily on intermediate-term and long-term municipal securities
which have remaining maturities at the time of purchase of from three to more
than thirty years. The fund can invest up to 20% of its assets in below invest-
ment grade bonds or in unrated securities of equivalent quality (commonly known
as "junk bonds"). Investment grade bonds are those rated in any of the four
highest long-term rating categories, or if unrated, of comparable quality.
Selection process The manager selects securities primarily by identifying
undervalued sectors and individual securities, while also selecting securities
it believes will benefit from changes in market conditions. In selecting indi-
vidual securities, the manager:
. Uses fundamental credit analysis to estimate the relative value and attrac-
tiveness of various securities and sectors and to exploit opportunities in
the municipal bond market
. Measures the potential impact of supply/demand imbalances for obligations of
different states, the yields available for securities with different maturi-
ties and a security's maturity in light of the outlook for interest rates to
identify individual securities that balance potential return and risk
. May trade between general obligation and revenue bonds and among various
revenue bond sectors, such as housing, hospital and industrial development,
based on their apparent relative values
. Identifies individual securities with the most potential for added value,
such as those involving unusual situations, new issuers, the potential for
credit upgrades, unique structural characteristics or innovative features

Principal risks of investing in the fund
Investors could lose money on their investment in the fund, or the fund may not
perform as well as other investments, if:
. Interest rates rise, causing the value of the fund's portfolio to decline
. The issuer of a security owned by the fund defaults on its obligation to pay
principal and/or interest or the security's credit rating is downgraded
. Municipal securities fall out of favor with investors
. Unfavorable legislation affects the tax-exempt status of municipal bonds
. The manager's judgment about the attractiveness, value or income potential
of a particular security proves to be incorrect
It is possible that some of the fund's income distributions may be, and distri-
butions of the fund's gains generally will be, subject to federal taxation. The
fund may realize taxable gains on the sale of its securities or on transactions
in derivatives. Some of the fund's income may be subject to the federal alter-
native minimum tax. In addition, distributions of the fund's income and gains
will be subject to state personal income taxation.
Who may want to invest The fund may be an appropriate investment if you:
. Are a taxpayer in a high federal tax bracket seeking income exempt from fed-
eral taxation
. Currently have exposure to other asset classes and are seeking to broaden
your investment portfolio
. Are willing to accept the risks of municipal securities

Risk return bar chart
This bar chart indicates the risks of investing in the fund by showing changes
in the fund's performance from year to year. Past performance does not neces-
sarily indicate how the fund will perform in the future. The bar chart shows
the performance of the fund's Class A shares for each of the past 10 calendar
years. Class B, L and Y shares have different performance because of different
expenses. The performance information in the chart does not reflect sales
charges, which would reduce your return.

More on the fund's investments
Municipal securities Municipal securities are debt obligations issued by any of
the 50 states and their political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities
(together with certain other governmental issuers such as Puerto Rico, the Vir-
gin Islands and Guam). The interest on these bonds is exempt from federal
income tax. As a result, the interest rate on these bonds normally is lower
than it would be if the bonds were subject to taxation. The municipal securi-
ties in which the fund invests include general obligation bonds, revenue bonds
and notes, and municipal leases. These securities may pay interest at fixed,
variable or floating rates. The fund may also hold zero coupon securities which
pay no interest during the life of the obligation but trade at prices below
their stated maturity value.
Below investment grade securities Below investment grade securities, also known
as "junk bonds", are considered speculative with respect to the issuer's abil-
ity to pay interest and principal, involve a high risk of loss and are suscep-
tible to default or decline in market value because of adverse economic and
business developments. The market value for these securities tends to be very
volatile, and these securities are less liquid than investment grade debt secu-
rities.
Derivative contracts The fund may, but need not, use derivative contracts, such
as financial futures and options on financial futures, for any of the following
purposes:
. To hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes in the market value
of portfolio securities because of changes in interest rates
. As a substitute for buying or selling securities
A futures contract will obligate or entitle the fund to deliver or receive an
asset or cash payment based on the change in value of one or more securities.
Even a small investment in futures can have a big impact on a fund's interest
rate exposure. Therefore, using futures can disproportionately increase losses
and reduce opportunities for gains when interest rates are changing. The fund
may not fully benefit from or may lose money on futures if changes in their
value do not correspond accurately to changes in the value of the fund's hold-
ings. The other parties to certain futures present the same types of default
risk as issuers of fixed income securities. Futures can also make a fund less
liquid and harder to value, especially in declining markets.
Defensive investing The fund may depart from its principal investment strate-
gies in response to adverse market, economic or political conditions by taking
temporary defensive positions in all types of money market and short-term debt
securities. If the fund takes a temporary defensive position, it may be unable
to achieve its investment goal.

Management
Manager The fund's investment adviser and administrator is SSB Citi Fund Man-
agement LLC (successor to 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 fund's investments and oversees its opera-
tions. The manager and Salomon Smith Barney are subsidiaries of Citigroup Inc.
Citigroup businesses produce a broad range of financial services--asset manage-
ment, banking and consumer finance, credit and charge cards, insurance, invest-
ments, investment banking and trading--and use diverse channels to make them
available to consumer and corporate customers around the world.
Joseph P. Deane, investment officer of the manager and senior vice president
and managing director of Salomon Smith Barney, has been responsible for the
day-to-day management of the fund's portfolio since November 1988. Mr. Deane
has 30 years of securities business experience.
Management fees During the fiscal year ended February 29, 2000, the manager
received an advisory fee and an administrative fee equal to 0.31% and 0.17%,
respectively, of the fund's average daily net assets.
Distributor The fund has entered into an agreement with Salomon Smith Barney,
Inc. to distribute the fund's shares.
Distribution plan The fund has adopted a Rule 12b-1 distribution plan for its
Class A, B and L shares. Under the plan, the fund pays distribution and/or
service fees. These fees are an ongoing expense and, over time, may cost you
more than other types of sales charges.
Transfer agent and shareholder servicing agent Citi Fiduciary Trust Company
serves as the fund's transfer agent and shareholder servicing agent (the
"transfer agent"). Pursuant to a sub-transfer agency and services agreement
with the transfer agent, PFPC Global Fund Services serves as the fund's sub-
transfer agent (the "sub-transfer agent") to render certain functions,
including shareholder record keeping and accounting services.

Choosing a class of shares to buy
You can choose among four classes of shares: Classes A, B, L and Y. Each class
has different sales charges and expenses, allowing you to choose the class that
best meets your needs. Which class is more beneficial to an investor depends on
the amount and intended length of the investment.
. If you plan to invest regularly or in large amounts, buying Class A shares
may help you reduce sales charges and ongoing expenses.
. For Class B shares, all of your purchase amount and, for Class L shares,
more of your purchase amount (compared to Class A shares) will be immedi-
ately invested. This may help offset the higher expenses of Class B and
Class L shares, but only if the fund performs well.
. Class L shares have a shorter deferred sales charge period than Class B
shares. However, because Class B shares convert to Class A shares, and Class
L shares do not, Class B shares may be more attractive to long-term invest-
ors.
You may buy shares from:
. 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
. The fund, but only if you are investing through certain dealer
representatives
Investment minimums Minimum initial and additional investment amounts vary
depending on the class of shares you buy and the nature of your investment
account.

Sales charges
Class A shares
You buy Class A shares at the offering price, which is the net asset value plus
a sales charge. You pay a lower sales charge as the size of your investment
increases to certain levels called breakpoints. You do not pay a sales charge
on the fund's distributions or dividends you reinvest in additional Class A
shares.

</TABLE>
Investments of $500,000 or more You do not pay an initial sales charge when you
buy $500,000 or more of Class A shares. However, if you redeem these Class A
shares within one year of purchase, you will pay a deferred sales charge of 1%.
Qualifying for a reduced Class A sales charge There are several ways you can
combine multiple purchases of Class A shares of Smith Barney funds to take
advantage of the breakpoints in the sales charge schedule.
. Accumulation privilege - lets you combine the current value of Class A
shares owned
. by you, or
. by members of your immediate family,
and for which a sales charge was paid, with the amount of your next purchase
of Class A shares for purposes of calculating the initial sales charge. Cer-
tain trustees and fiduciaries may be entitled to combine accounts in deter-
mining their sales charge.
. Letter of intent - lets you purchase Class A shares of the fund and other
Smith Barney funds over a 13-month period and pay the same sales

charge, if any, as if all shares had been purchased at once. You may include
purchases on which you paid a sales charge within 90 days before you sign the
letter.
Waivers for certain Class A investors Class A initial sales charges are waived
for certain types of investors, including:
. Employees of members of the NASD
. Clients of newly employed Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultants, if
certain conditions are met
. Investors who redeemed Class A shares of a Smith Barney fund in the past 60
days, if the investor's Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or dealer
representative is notified
If you want to learn about additional waivers of Class A initial sales charges,
contact your Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or dealer representative
or consult the Statement of Additional Information ("SAI").
Class B shares
You buy Class B shares at net asset value without paying an initial sales
charge. However, if you redeem your Class B shares within six years of pur-
chase, you will pay a deferred sales charge. The deferred sales charge
decreases as the number of years since your purchase increases.

Class L shares
You buy Class L shares at the offering price, which is the net asset value plus
a sales charge of 1% (1.01% of the net amount invested). In addition, if you
redeem your Class L shares within one year of purchase, you will pay a deferred
sales charge of 1%. If you held Class C shares of the fund and/or other Smith
Barney mutual funds on June 12, 1998, you will not pay an initial sales charge
on Class L shares you buy before June 22, 2001.
Class Y shares
You buy Class Y shares at net asset value with no initial sales charge and no
deferred sales charge when you redeem. 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 the fund over a 13-month period. To qualify, you
must initially invest $5,000,000.
More about deferred sales charges
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.
In addition, you do not pay a deferred sales charge on:
. Shares exchanged for shares of another Smith Barney fund
. Shares representing reinvested distributions and dividends
. Shares no longer subject to the deferred sales charge
Each time you place a request to redeem shares, the fund will first redeem any
shares in your account that are not subject to a deferred sales charge and then
the shares in your account that have been held the longest.
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.

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
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 sub-transfer
agent
. Instruct the sub-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 reg-
istration
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.
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
Managed Municipals Fund
18
<PAGE>
. 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 sub-transfer agent. If
you hold share certificates it will take longer to exchange or redeem shares.

Dividends, distributions and taxes
Dividends The fund pays dividends each month from its net investment income.
The fund generally makes capital gain distributions, if any, once a year, typi-
cally in December. The fund may pay additional distributions and dividends at
other times if necessary for the fund to avoid a federal tax. Capital gain dis-
tributions and dividends are reinvested in additional fund shares of the same
class you hold. The fund expects distributions to be primarily from income. You
do not pay a sales charge on reinvested distributions or dividends. Alterna-
tively, you can instruct your Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant, dealer
representative or the transfer agent to have your distributions and/or divi-
dends 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 effec-
tive until the next distribution or dividend is paid.
Taxes In general, redeeming shares, exchanging shares and receiving distribu-
tions (whether in cash or additional shares) are all taxable events.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Transaction Federal tax status
<S> <C>
Redemption or exchange of shares Usually capital gain or
loss; long-term only if
shares owned more than one
year
Long-term capital gain distributions Taxable gain
Short-term capital gain distributions Ordinary income
Dividends Exempt if from interest on
tax-exempt securities,
otherwise ordinary income
</TABLE>
Any taxable dividends and capital gain distributions are taxable whether
received in cash or reinvested in fund shares. Long-term capital gain distribu-
tions are taxable to you as long-term capital gain regardless of how long you
have owned your shares. You may want to avoid buying shares when the fund is
about to declare a capital gain distribution or a taxable dividend, because it
will be taxable to you even though it may actually be a return of a portion of
your investment.
After the end of each year, the fund will provide you with information about
the distributions and dividends you received and any redemptions of shares dur-
ing the previous year. If you do not provide the fund with your correct tax-
payer identification number and any required certifications, you
Managed Municipals Fund
20
<PAGE>
may be subject to back-up withholding 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 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 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 liabili-
ties. Net asset value is calculated separately for each class of shares. The
fund calculates its net asset value every day the New York Stock Exchange is
open. The Exchange is closed on certain holidays listed in the SAI. This calcu-
lation is done when regular trading closes on the Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m.,
Eastern time).
Generally, the fund's investments are valued by an independent pricing service.
If market quotations or a valuation from the pricing service is not readily
available for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected
by events occurring after the close of the Exchange or market on which the
security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method
that the fund's board believes accurately reflects fair value. A fund that uses
fair value to price securities may value those securities higher or lower than
another fund using market quotations to price the same securities. A security's
valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value.
In order to buy, redeem or exchange shares at that day's price, you must place
your order with your Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or dealer repre-
sentative before the New York Stock Exchange closes. If the Exchange closes
early, you must place your order prior to the actual closing time. Otherwise,
you will receive the next business day's price.
Salomon Smith Barney or members of the selling group must transmit all orders
to buy, exchange or redeem shares to the fund's agent before the agent's close
of business.

Financial highlights
The financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand the perfor-
mance of each class for the past 5 years (or since inception if less than 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 audi-
tors, whose report, along with the fund's financial statements, is included in

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The prospectus discusses the fund's investment objective and the
policies it employs to achieve its objective. The following
discussion supplements the description of the fund's investment
objective and management policies in the prospectus. For purposes
of this SAI, intermediate- and long-term debt obligations issued by
or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the United
States and the District of Columbia and their political
subdivisions, agencies or instrumentalities, or multistate agencies
or authorities, are collectively referred to as "Municipal Bonds.''
SSB Citi serves as investment manager and administrator to the
fund.
The fund will operate subject to a fundamental investment policy
providing that, under normal market conditions, the fund will invest
at least 80% of its net assets in Municipal Bonds. For temporary
defensive purposes, the fund may invest without limit in "Temporary
Investments" as described below.
Diversified Classification
The fund is classified as a diversified fund under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). In order to be
classified as a diversified investment company under the 1940 Act,
the fund may not, with respect to 75% of its assets, invest more
than 5% of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer
(except U.S. government securities) or own more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of any one issuer. For the purposes
of diversification under the 1940 Act, the identification of the
issuer of Municipal Bonds depends upon the terms and conditions of
the security. When the assets and revenues of an agency, authority,
instrumentality or other political subdivision are separate from
those of the government creating the issuing entity and the security
is backed only by the assets and revenues of such entity, such
entity is deemed to be the sole issuer. Similarly, in the case of a
private activity bond, if that bond is backed only by the assets and
revenues of the nongovernmental user, then such nongovernmental user
is deemed to be the sole issuer. If, however, in either case, the
creating government or some other entity guarantees a security, such
a guarantee would be considered a separate security and is to be
treated as an issue of such government or other entity.
Use of Ratings as Investment Criteria
In general, the ratings of Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's") and Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P") and other
nationally recognized statistical ratings organizations ("NRSROs")
represent the opinions of those agencies as to the quality of the
Municipal Bonds and short-term investments which they rate. It
should be emphasized, however, that such ratings are relative and
subjective, are not absolute standards of quality and do not
evaluate the market risk of securities. These ratings will be used
by the fund as initial criteria for the selection of portfolio
securities, but the fund also will rely upon the independent advice
of the manager to evaluate potential investments. Among the factors
that will be considered are the long-term ability of the issuer to
pay principal and interest and general economic trends. To the
extent the fund invests in lower-rated and comparable unrated
securities, the fund's achievement of its investment objective may
be more dependent on the manager's credit analysis of such
securities than would be the case for a portfolio consisting
entirely of higher-rated securities. The Appendix contains further
information concerning the ratings of Moody's and S&P and their
significance.
Subsequent to its purchase by the fund, an issue of Municipal Bonds
may cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced below the rating
given at the time the securities were acquired by the fund. Neither
event will require the sale of such Municipal Bonds by the fund, but
the manager will consider such event in its determination of whether
the fund should continue to hold such Municipal Bonds. In addition,
to the extent the ratings change as a result of changes in such
organizations, in their rating systems or because of a corporate
restructuring of Moody's, S&P or any NRSRO, the fund will attempt to
use comparable ratings as standards for its investments in
accordance with its investment objective and policies.
The fund generally will invest at least 80% of its total assets in
investment grade debt obligations rated no lower than Baa, MIG 3 or
Prime-1 by Moody's or BBB, SP-2 or A-1 by S&P, or have the
equivalent rating by any NRSRO or in unrated obligations of
comparable quality. Unrated obligations will be considered to be of
investment grade if deemed by the manager to be comparable in
quality to instruments so rated, or if other outstanding obligations
of the issuers thereof are rated Baa or better by Moody's or BBB or
better by S&P. The balance of the fund's assets may be invested in
securities rated as low as C by Moody's or D by S&P or have the
equivalent rating by any NRSRO, or deemed by the manager to be
comparable unrated securities, which are sometimes referred to as
"junk bonds." Securities in the fourth highest rating category,
though considered to be investment grade, have speculative
characteristics. Securities rated as low as D are extremely
speculative and are in actual default of interest and/or principal
payments. It should be emphasized that ratings are relative and
subjective and are not absolute standards of quality.
Although these ratings are initial criteria for selection of
portfolio investments, the fund also will make its own evaluation of
these securities. Among the factors that will be considered are the
long-term ability of the issuers to pay principal and interest and
general economic trends. The value of debt securities varies
inversely to changes in the direction of interest rates. When
interest rates rise, the value of debt securities generally falls,
and when interest rates fall, the value of debt securities generally
rises.
Low and Comparable Unrated Securities. While the market values of
low-rated and comparable unrated securities tend to react less to
fluctuations in interest rate levels than the market values of
higher rated securities, the market values of certain low-rated and
comparable unrated municipal securities also tend to be more
sensitive than higher-rated securities to short-term corporate and
industry developments and changes in economic conditions (including
recession) in specific regions or localities or among specific types
of issuers, In addition, low-rated securities and comparable
unrated securities generally present a higher degree of credit risk.
During an economic downturn or a prolonged period of rising
interest rates, the ability of issuers of low-rated and comparable
unrated securities to service their payment obligations, meet
projected goals or obtain additional financing may be impaired. The
risk of loss because of default by such issuers is significantly
greater because low-rated and comparable unrated securities
generally are unsecured and frequently are subordinated to the prior
payment of senior indebtedness. The fund may incur additional
expenses to the extent it is required to seek recovery upon a
default in payment of principal or interest on its portfolio
holdings.
While the market for municipal securities is considered to be
generally adequate, the existence of limited markets for particular
low-rated and comparable unrated securities may diminish the fund's
ability to (a) obtain accurate market quotations for purposes of
valuing such securities and calculating its net asset value and (b)
sell the securities at fair value either to meet redemption requests
or to respond to changes in the economy or in the financial markets.
The market for certain low-rated and comparable unrated securities
has not fully weathered a major economic recession. Any such
recession, however, would likely disrupt severely the market for
such securities and adversely affect the value of the securities and
the ability of the issuers of such securities to repay principal and
pay interest thereon.
Fixed-income securities, including low-rated securities and
comparable unrated securities, frequently have call or buy-back
features that permit their issuers to call or repurchase the
securities from their holders, such as the fund. If an issuer
exercises these rights during periods of declining interest rates,
the fund may have to replace the security with a lower yielding
security, thus resulting in a decreased return to the fund.
Municipal Bonds Municipal Bonds generally are understood to include
debt obligations issued to obtain funds for various public purposes,
including construction of a wide range of public facilities,
refunding of outstanding obligations, payment of general operating
expenses and extensions of loans to public institutions and
facilities. Private activity bonds issued by or on behalf of public
authorities to finance various privately operated facilities are
included within the term Municipal Bonds if the interest paid
thereon qualifies as excluded from gross income (but not necessarily
from alternative minimum taxable income) for federal income tax
purposes in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer.
The yield on Municipal Bonds is dependent on a variety of factors,
including general economic and monetary conditions, general money
market factors, general conditions of the Municipal Bond market, the
financial condition of the issuer, the size of a particular
offering, maturity of the obligation offered and the rating of the
issue.
Municipal Bonds also may be subject to the provisions of bankruptcy,
insolvency and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of
creditors, such as the federal Bankruptcy Code, and laws, if any,
which may be enacted by Congress or state legislatures extending the
time for payment of principal or interest, or both, or imposing
other constraints upon enforcement of such obligations or upon the
ability of municipalities to levy taxes. The possibility also
exists that, as a result of litigation or other conditions, the
power or ability of any one or more issuers to pay, when due, the
principal of and interest on its or their Municipal Bonds may be
materially and adversely affected.
Municipal Leases. The fund may invest without limit in "municipal
leases", which are obligations issued by state and local governments
or authorities to finance the acquisition of equipment or
facilities. The interest on such obligations is, in the opinion of
counsel to the issuers, excluded from gross income for federal
income tax purposes. Although lease obligations do not constitute
general obligations of the municipality for which the municipality's
taxing power is pledged, a lease obligation is ordinarily backed by
the municipality's covenant to budget for, appropriate and make the
payments due under the lease obligation. However, certain lease
obligations contain "non-appropriation" clauses which provide that
the municipality has no obligation to make lease or installment
purchase payments in future years unless money is appropriated for
such purpose on a yearly basis. In addition to the "non-
appropriation" risk, these securities represent a relatively new
type of financing that has not yet developed the depth of
marketability associated with more conventional bonds. Although
"non-appropriation" lease obligations are often secured by the
underlying property, disposition of the property in the event of
foreclosure might prove difficult. There is no limitation on the
percentage of the fund's assets that may be invested in municipal
lease obligations. In evaluating municipal lease obligations, the
manager will consider such factors as it deems appropriate, which
may include: (a) whether the lease can be canceled; (b) the ability
of the lease obligee to direct the sale of the underlying assets;
(c) the general creditworthiness of the lease obligor; (d) the
likelihood that the municipality will discontinue appropriating
funding for the leased property in the event such property is no
longer considered essential by the municipality; (e) the legal
recourse of the lease obligee in the event of such a failure to
appropriate funding; (f) whether the security is backed by a credit
enhancement such as insurance; and (g) any limitations which are
imposed on the lease obligor's ability to utilize substitute
property or services rather than those covered by the lease
obligation.
The fund may invest without limit in debt obligations which are
repayable out of revenue streams generated from economically-related
projects or facilities or debt obligations whose issuers are located
in the same state. Sizeable investments in such obligations could
involve an increased risk to the fund should any of the related
projects or facilities experience financial difficulties.
Private Activity Bonds. The fund may invest without limit in
private activity bonds. Interest income on certain types of private
activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986 to finance non-
governmental activities is a specific tax preference item for
purposes of the federal individual and corporate alternative minimum
taxes. Individual and corporate shareholders may be subject to a
federal alternative minimum tax to the extent the fund's dividends
are derived from interest on those bonds. Dividends derived from
interest income on Municipal Securities are a component of the
"current earnings" adjustment item for purposes of the federal
corporate alternative minimum tax.
Zero Coupon Bonds. The fund may also invest in zero coupon bonds.
Zero coupon securities are debt obligations which do not entitle
the holder to any periodic payments of interest prior to maturity on
a specified cash payment date when the securities begin paying
current interest (the "cash payment date") and therefore are issued
and traded at a discount from their face amounts or par values. The
discount varies depending on the time remaining until maturity or
cash payment date, prevailing interest rates, liquidity of the
security and the perceived credit quality of the issuer. The
discount, in the absence of financial difficulties of the issuer,
decreases as the final maturity or cash payment date of the security
approaches. The market prices of zero coupon securities generally
are more volatile than the market prices of other debt securities
that pay interest periodically and are likely to respond to changes
in interest rates to a greater degree than do debt securities having
similar maturities and credit quality. The credit risk factors
pertaining to low-rated securities also apply to low-rated zero
coupon bonds. Such zero coupon bonds carry an additional risk in
that, unlike bonds which pay interest throughout the period to
maturity, the fund will realize no cash until the cash payment date
unless a portion of such securities is sold and, if the issuer
defaults, the fund may obtain no return at all on its investment.
When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase Municipal Bonds on a
"when-issued" basis (i.e., for delivery beyond the normal settlement
date at a stated price and yield). The payment obligation and the
interest rate that will be received on the Municipal Bonds purchased
on a when-issued basis are each fixed at the time the buyer enters
into the commitment. Although the fund will purchase Municipal Bonds
on a when-issued basis only with the intention of actually acquiring
the securities, the fund may sell these securities before the
settlement date if it is deemed advisable as a matter of investment
strategy.
Municipal Bonds are subject to changes in value based upon the
public's perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers and
changes, real or anticipated, in the level of interest rates. In
general, Municipal Bonds tend to appreciate when interest rates
decline and depreciate when interest rates rise. Purchasing
Municipal Bonds on a when-issued basis, therefore, can involve the
risk that the yields available in the market when the delivery takes
place may actually be higher than those obtained in the transaction
itself. To account for this risk, a separate account of the fund
consisting of cash or liquid debt securities equal to the amount of
the when-issued commitments will be established on the fund's books.
For the purpose of determining the adequacy of the securities in the
account, the deposited securities will be valued at market or fair
value. If the market or fair value of such securities declines,
additional cash or securities will be placed in the account on a
daily basis so the value of the account will equal the amount of
such commitments by the fund. Placing securities rather than cash in
the segregated account may have a leveraging effect on the fund's
net assets. That is, to the extent the fund remains substantially
fully invested in securities at the same time it has committed to
purchase securities on a when-issued basis, there will be greater
fluctuations in its net assets than if it had set aside cash to
satisfy its purchase commitments. Upon the settlement date of the
when-issued securities, the fund will meet obligations from then-
available cash flow, sale of securities held in the segregated
account, sale of other securities or, although it normally would not
expect to do so, from the sale of the when-issued securities
themselves (which may have a value greater or less than the fund's
payment obligations). Sales of securities to meet such obligations
may involve the realization of capital gains, which are not exempt
from federal income tax.
When the fund engages in when-issued transactions, it relies on the
seller to consummate the trade. Failure of the seller to do so may
result in the fund's incurring a loss or missing an opportunity to
obtain a price considered advantageous.
Repurchase Agreements. The fund may agree to purchase securities
from a bank or recognized securities dealer and simultaneously
commit to resell the securities to the bank or dealer at an agreed-
upon date and price reflecting a market rate of interest unrelated
to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased securities
("repurchase agreements"). The fund would maintain custody of the
underlying securities prior to their repurchase; thus, the
obligation of the bank or dealer to pay the repurchase price on the
date agreed to would be, in effect, secured by such securities. If
the value of such securities were less than the repurchase price,
plus interest, the other party to the agreement would be required to
provide additional collateral so that at all times the collateral is
at least 102% of the repurchase price plus accrued interest. Default
by or bankruptcy of a seller would expose the fund to possible loss
because of adverse market action, expenses and/or delays in
connection with the disposition of the underlying obligations. The
financial institutions with which the fund may enter into repurchase
agreements will be banks and non-bank dealers of U.S. Government
securities that are on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's list
of reporting dealers, if such banks and non-bank dealers are deemed
creditworthy by the fund's manager. The manager will continue to
monitor creditworthiness of the seller under a repurchase agreement,
and will require the seller to maintain during the term of the
agreement the value of the securities subject to the agreement to
equal at least 102% of the repurchase price (including accrued
interest). In addition, the manager will require that the value of
this collateral, after transaction costs (including loss of
interest) reasonably expected to be incurred on a default, be equal
to 102% or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued
premium) provided in the repurchase agreement or the daily
amortization of the difference between the purchase price and the
repurchase price specified in the repurchase agreement. The manager
will mark-to-market daily the value of the securities.
Temporary Investments. Under normal market conditions, the fund may
hold up to 20% of its total assets in cash or money market
instruments, including taxable money market instruments. When the
fund is maintaining a defensive position, the fund may invest in
short-term investments ("Temporary Investments") consisting of: (a)
tax-exempt securities in the form of notes of municipal issuers
having, at the time of purchase, a rating within the three highest
grades of Moody's, S&P or the equivalent rating from an NRSRO or, if
not rated, having an issue of outstanding Municipal Bonds rated
within the three highest grades by Moody's, S&P or the equivalent
rating from an NRSRO; and (b) the following taxable securities:
obligations of the United States government, its agencies or
instrumentalities ("U.S. government securities"), repurchase
agreements, other debt securities rated within the three highest
grades by Moody's, S&P or the equivalent rating from an NRSRO,
commercial paper rated in the highest grade by any of such rating
services, and certificates of deposit of domestic banks with assets
of $1 billion or more. The fund may invest in Temporary Investments
for defensive reasons in anticipation of a market decline. At no
time will more than 20% of the fund's total assets be invested in
Temporary Investments unless the fund has adopted a defensive
investment policy. The fund intends, however, to purchase tax-exempt
Temporary Investments pending the investment of the proceeds of the
sale of portfolio securities or shares of the fund's common stock,
or in order to have highly liquid securities available to meet
anticipated redemptions. For the fiscal year ended February 29,
2000, the fund did not invest in taxable Temporary Investments.
Financial Futures and Options Transactions. To hedge against a
decline in the value of Municipal Bonds it owns or an increase in
the price of Municipal Bonds it proposes to purchase, the fund may
enter into financial futures contracts and invest in options on
financial futures contracts that are traded on a domestic exchange
or board of trade. The futures contracts or options on futures
contracts that may be entered into by the fund will be restricted to
those that are either based on an index of Municipal Bonds or relate
to debt securities the prices of which are anticipated by the
manager to correlate with the prices of the Municipal Bonds owned or
to be purchased by the fund.
In entering into a financial futures contract, the fund will be
required to deposit with the broker through which it undertakes the
transaction an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to
approximately 5% of the contract amount. This amount, which is
known as "initial margin," is subject to change by the exchange or
board of trade may charge a higher amount. Initial margin is in the
nature of a performance bond or good faith deposit on the contract
that is returned to the fund upon termination of the futures
contract, assuming all contractual obligations have been satisfied.
In accordance with a process known as "marking-to-market,"
subsequent payments, known as "variation margin," to and from the
broker will be made daily as the price of the index or securities
underlying the futures contract fluctuates, making the long and
short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable. At
any time prior to the expiration of a futures contract, the fund may
elect to close the position by taking an opposite position, which
will operate to terminate the fund's existing position in the
contract.
A financial futures contract provides for the future sale by one
party and the purchase by the other party of a certain amount of a
specified property at a specified price, date, time and place.
Unlike the direct investment in a futures contract, an option on a
financial futures contract gives the purchaser the right, in return
for the premium paid, to assume a position in the financial futures
contract at a specified exercise price at any time prior to the
expiration date of the option. Upon exercise of an option, the
delivery of the futures position by the writer of the option to the
holder of the option will be accompanied by delivery of the
accumulated balance in the writer's futures margin account, which
represents the amount by which the market price of the futures
contract exceeds, in the case of a call, or is less than, in the
case of a put, the exercise price of the option in the futures
contract. The potential loss related to the purchase of an option
on financial futures contracts is limited to the premium paid for
the option (plus transaction costs). The value of the option may
change daily and that change would be reflected in the net asset
value of the fund.
Regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission applicable
to the fund require that its transactions in financial futures
contracts and options on financial futures contracts be engaged in
for bona fide hedging purposes, or if the fund enters into futures
contracts for speculative purposes, that the aggregate initial
margin deposits and premiums paid by the fund will not exceed 5% of
the market value of its assets. In addition, the fund will, with
respect to its purchases of financial futures contracts, establish
a segregated account consisting of cash or cash equivalents in an
amount equal to the total market value of the futures contracts,
less the amount of initial margin on a deposit for the contracts.
The fund's ability to trade in financial futures contracts and
options on financial futures contracts may be limited to some extent
by the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), applicable to a regulated investment company that are
described below under "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."
Although the fund intends to enter into financial futures contracts
and options on financial futures contracts that are traded on a
domestic exchange or board of trade only if an active market exists
for those instruments, no assurance can be given that an active
market will exist for them at any particular time. If closing a
futures position in anticipation of adverse price movements is not
possible, the fund would be required to make daily cash payments of
variation margin. In those circumstances, an increase in the value
of the portion of the fund's investments being hedged, if any, may
offset partially or completely losses on the futures contract. No
assurance can be given, however, that the price of the securities
being hedged will correlate with the price movements in a futures
contract and, thus, provide an offset to losses on the futures
contract or option on the futures contract. In addition, in light
of the risk of an imperfect correlation between securities held by
the fund that are the subject of a hedging transaction and the
futures or options used as a hedging device, the hedge may not be
fully effective because, for example, losses on the securities held
by the fund may be in excess of gains on the futures contract or
losses on the futures contract may be in excess of gains on the
securities held by the fund that were the subject of the hedge. In
an effort to compensate for the imperfect correlation of movements
in the price of the securities being hedged and movements in the
price of futures contracts, the fund may enter into financial
futures contracts or options on financial futures contracts in a
greater or lesser dollar amount than the dollar amount of the
securities being hedged if the historical volatility of the futures
contract has been less or greater than that of the securities. This
"over hedging" or under hedging" may adversely affect the fund's net
investment results if market movements are not as anticipated when
the hedge is established.
If the fund has hedged against the possibility of an increase in
interest rates adversely affecting the value of securities it holds
and rates decrease instead, the fund will lose part or all of the
benefit of the increased value of securities that it has hedged
because it will have offsetting losses in its futures or options
positions. In addition, in those situations, if the fund has
insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities to meet daily
variation margin requirements on the futures contracts at a time
when it may be disadvantageous to do so. These sales of securities
may, but will not necessarily, be at increased prices that reflect
the decline in interest rates.
Other Investments. The fund shall not invest more than 10% of its
assets in securities (excluding those subject to Rule 144A under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act")), that are
determined to be illiquid by the manager. Also, the fund may invest
up to an aggregate of 15% of its total assets in securities with
contractual or other restrictions on resale and other instruments
which are not readily marketable. The fund also is authorized to
borrow an amount of up to 10% of its total assets (including the
amount borrowed) valued at market less liabilities (not including
the amount borrowed) in order to meet anticipated redemptions and to
pledge its assets to the same extent in connection with the
borrowings.
INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
The fund has adopted the following investment restrictions for the
protection of shareholders. Restrictions 1 through 7 cannot be
changed without approval by the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the fund, defined as the lesser of (a) 67% of
the fund's shares present at a meeting if the holders of more than
50% of the outstanding shares of the fund are present or represented
by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the fund's outstanding shares. The
remaining restrictions may be changed by the Board of Directors at
any time. The fund may not:
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.
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. Invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities,
the issuers of which are in the same industry. For
purposes of this limitation, U.S. government securities
and securities of state or municipal governments and
their political subdivisions are not considered to be
issued by members of any industry.
4. 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) is derived from such transactions.
5. 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.
6. Engage in the business of underwriting securities issued
by other persons, except to the extent that the fund may
technically be deemed to be an underwriter under the
1933 Act, in disposing of portfolio securities.
7. Purchase or sell real estate, real estate mortgages,
commodities or commodity contracts, but this restriction
shall not prevent the 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; (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); or (d) investing in real estate investment
trust securities.
8. 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.
9. Purchase or otherwise acquire any security if, as a
result, more than 15% of its net assets would be
invested in securities that are illiquid.
10. Invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets in
the securities of issuers having a record, including
predecessors, of less than three years of continuous
operation, except U.S. government securities. (For
purposes of this restriction, issuers include
predecessors, sponsors, controlling persons, general
guarantors and originators of underlying assets.)
11. Invest in companies for the purpose of exercising
control.
12. Invest in securities of other investment companies,
except as they may be acquired as part of a merger,
consolidation or acquisition of assets and except for
the purchase, to the extent permitted by Section 12 of
the 1940 Act, of shares of registered unit investment
trusts whose assets consist substantially of Municipal
Bonds.
13. Purchase or sell oil and gas interests.
14. Engage in the purchase and sale of put, call, straddle
or spread options or in writing of such options, except
that the fund may purchase and sell options on interest
rate futures contracts.
Certain restrictions listed above permit the fund to engage in
investment practices the fund does not currently pursue. The fund
has no present intention of altering its current investment
practices as otherwise described in the prospectus and this SAI and
any future change in those practices would require Board approval
and appropriate notice to shareholders. If a percentage restriction
is complied with at the time of an investment, a later increase or
decrease in the percentage of assets resulting from a change in the
values of portfolio securities or in the amount of the fund's assets
will not constitute a violation of such restriction.
For the purposes of Investment Restriction 3, private activity
bonds, where the payment of principal and interest is the ultimate
responsibility of companies within the same industry, are grouped
together as an "industry."
RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO MUNICIPAL
SECURITIES
Alternative Minimum Tax
Under current federal income tax law, (1) interest on tax-exempt
municipal securities issued after August 7, 1986 which are
"specified private activity bonds," and the proportionate share of
any exempt-interest dividend paid by a regulated investment company
which receives interest from such specified private activity bonds,
will be treated as an item of tax preference for purposes of the
alternative minimum tax ("AMT") imposed on individuals and
corporations, though for regular Federal income tax purposes such
interest will remain fully tax-exempt, and (2) interest on all tax-
exempt obligations will be included in "adjusted current earnings"
of corporations for AMT purposes. Such private activity bonds ("AMT-
Subject bonds"), which include industrial development bonds and
bonds issued to finance such projects as airports, housing projects,
solid waste disposal facilities, student loan programs and water and
sewage projects, have provided, and may continue to provide,
somewhat higher yields than other comparable municipal securities.
Investors should consider that, in most instances, no state,
municipality or other governmental unit with taxing power will be
obligated with respect to AMT-Subject bonds. AMT-Subject bonds are
in most cases revenue bonds and do not generally have the pledge of
the credit or the taxing power, if any, of the issuer of such bonds.
AMT-Subject bonds are generally limited obligations of the issuer
supported by payments from private business entities and not by the
full faith and credit of a state or any governmental subdivision.
Typically the obligation of the issuer of AMT-Subject bonds is to
make payments to bond holders only out of and to the extent of,
payments made by the private business entity for whose benefit the
AMT-Subject bonds were issued. Payment of the principal and
interest on such revenue bonds depends solely on the ability of the
user of the facilities financed by the bonds to meet its financial
obligations and the pledge, if any, of real and personal property so
financed as security for such payment. It is not possible to
provide specific detail on each of these obligations in which fund
assets may be invested.
Municipal Market Volatility. Municipal securities can be
significantly affected by political changes as well as uncertainties
in the municipal market related to taxation, legislative changes, or
the rights of municipal security holders. Because many municipal
securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those
relating to education, health care, transportation and utilities,
conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal market.
In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual
municipal insurer can affect the overall municipal market.
Interest Rate Changes. Debt securities have varying levels of
sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of
a debt security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when
interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities can be more
sensitive to interest rate changes. In other words, the longer the
maturity of a security, the greater the impact a change in interest
rates could have on the security's price. In addition, short-term
and long-term interest rates do not necessarily move in the same
amount or the same direction. Short-term securities tend to react to
changes in short-term interest rates, and long-term securities tend
to react to changes in long-term interest rates.
Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an
issuer, changes in specific economic or political conditions that
affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in
general economic or political conditions can affect the credit
quality or value of an issuer's securities. Lower-quality debt
securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) tend to be
more sensitive to these changes than higher-quality debt securities.
Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure
also can be affected by these types of changes. Municipal securities
backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or
specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of
the taxation supporting the project or assets or the inability to
collect revenues for the project or from the assets. If the Internal
Revenue Service determines an issuer of a municipal security has not
complied with applicable tax requirements, interest from the
security could become taxable and the security could decline
significantly in value. In addition, if the structure of a security
fails to function as intended, interest from the security could
become taxable or the security could decline in value.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Newly issued securities normally are purchased directly from the
issuer or from an underwriter acting as principal. Other purchases
and sales usually are placed with those dealers from which it
appears that the best price or execution will be obtained; those
dealers may be acting as either agents or principals. The purchase
price paid by the fund to underwriters of newly issued securities
usually includes a concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter,
and purchases of after-market securities from dealers normally are
executed at a price between the bid and asked prices. For the 1998,
1999 and 2000 fiscal years, the fund has paid no brokerage
commissions.
Allocation of transactions, including their frequency, to various
dealers is determined by the manager in its best judgment and in a
manner deemed fair and reasonable to shareholders. The primary
considerations are availability of the desired security and the
prompt execution of orders in an effective manner at the most
favorable prices. Subject to these considerations, dealers that
provide supplemental investment research and statistical or other
services to the manager may receive orders for portfolio
transactions by the fund. Information so received is in addition
to, and not in lieu of, services required to be performed by the
manager, and the fees of the manager are not reduced as a
consequence of its use of such supplemental information. Such
information may be useful to the manager in serving both the fund
and other clients and, conversely, supplemental information obtained
by the placement of business of other clients may be useful to the
manager in carrying out its obligations to the fund.
The fund will not purchase Municipal Obligations during the
existence of any underwriting or selling group relating thereto of
which Salomon Smith Barney is a member, except to the extent
permitted by the SEC. Under certain circumstances, the fund may be
at a disadvantage because of this limitation in comparison with
other investment companies which have a similar investment objective
but which are not subject to such limitation. The fund also may
execute portfolio transactions through Salomon Smith Barney and its
affiliates in accordance with rules promulgated by the SEC.
While investment decisions for the fund are made independently from
those of the other accounts managed by the manager, investments of
the type the fund may make also may be made by those other accounts.
When the fund and one or more other accounts managed by the manager
are prepared to invest in, or desire to dispose of, the same
security, available investments or opportunities for sales will be
allocated in a manner believed by the manager to be equitable to
each. In some cases, this procedure may adversely affect the price
paid or received by the fund or the size of the position obtained or
disposed of by the fund.
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
The fund's portfolio turnover rate (the lesser of purchases or sales
of portfolio securities during the year, excluding purchases or
sales of short-term securities, divided by the monthly average value
of portfolio securities) generally is not expected to exceed 100%,
but the portfolio turnover rate will not be a limiting factor
whenever the fund deems it desirable to sell or purchase securities.
Securities may be sold in anticipation of a rise in interest rates
(market decline) or purchased in anticipation of a decline in
interest rates (market rise) and later sold. In addition, a
security may be sold and another security of comparable quality may
be purchased at approximately the same time in order to take
advantage of what the fund believes to be a temporary disparity in
the normal yield relationship between the two securities. These
yield disparities may occur for reasons not directly related to the
investment quality of particular issues or the general movement of
interest rates, such as changes in the overall demand for or supply
of various types of tax-exempt securities. For the 1999 and 2000
fiscal years, the fund's portfolio turnover rates were 45% and 55%,
respectively.
PURCHASE OF SHARES
Sales Charge Alternatives
The following classes of shares are available for purchase. See the
prospectus for a discussion of factors to consider in selecting
which Class of shares to purchase.

* Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000 or more will be made at
net asset value without any initial sales charge, but will be
subject to a deferred sales charge of 1.00% on redemptions made
within 12 months of purchase. The deferred sales charge on Class
A shares is payable to Salomon Smith Barney, which compensates
Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultants and other dealers whose
clients make purchases of $500,000 or more. The deferred sales
charge is waived in the same circumstances in which the deferred
sales charge applicable to Class B and Class L shares is waived.
See "Purchase of Shares-Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives" and
"Purchase of Shares-Waivers of Deferred Sales Charge."
Members of the selling group may receive up to 90% of the sales
charge and may be deemed to be underwriters of the fund as defined
in the Securities Act of 1933. The reduced sales charges shown
above apply to the aggregate of purchases of Class A shares of the
fund made at one time by "any person," which includes an individual
and his or her immediate family, or a trustee or other fiduciary of
a single trust estate or single fiduciary account.
Class B Shares. Class B shares are sold without an initial sales
charge but are subject to a deferred sales charge payable upon
certain redemptions. See "Deferred Sales Charge Provisions" below.
Class L Shares. Class L shares are sold with an initial sales
charge of 1.00% (which is equal to 1.01% of the amount invested) and
are subject to a deferred sales charge payable upon certain
redemptions. See "Deferred Sales Charge Provisions" below. Until
June 22, 2001 purchases of Class L shares by investors who were
holders of Class C shares of the fund on June 12, 1998 will not be
subject to the 1% initial sales charge.
Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are sold without an initial sales
charge or deferred sales charge and are available only to investors
investing a minimum of $15,000,000 (except purchases of Class Y
shares by Smith Barney Concert Allocation Series Inc., for which
there is no minimum purchase amount).
General
Investors may purchase shares from a Salomon Smith Barney Financial
Consultant or a Dealer Representative. In addition, certain
investors may purchase shares directly from the fund. When
purchasing shares of the fund, investors must specify whether the
purchase is for Class A, Class B, Class L or Class Y shares.
Salomon Smith Barney and Dealer Representatives may charge their
customers an annual account maintenance fee in connection with a
brokerage account through which an investor purchases or holds
shares. Accounts held directly at PFPC Global Fund Services ("PFPC"
or "sub-transfer agent") are not subject to a maintenance fee.
Investors in Class A, Class B and Class L shares may open an account
in the fund by making an initial investment of at least $1,000 for
each account. Investors in Class Y shares may open an account by
making an initial investment of $15,000,000. Subsequent investments
of at least $50 may be made for all Classes. For shareholders
purchasing shares of the fund through the Systematic Investment Plan
on a monthly basis, the minimum initial investment requirement for
Class A, Class B and Class L shares and subsequent investment
requirement for all Classes is $25. For shareholders purchasing
shares of the fund through the Systematic Investment Plan on a
quarterly basis, the minimum initial investment required for Class
A, Class B and Class L shares and the subsequent investment
requirement for all Classes is $50. There are no minimum investment
requirements for Class A shares for employees of Citigroup and its
subsidiaries, including Salomon Smith Barney, unitholders who invest
distributions from a Unit Investment Trust ("UIT") sponsored by
Salomon Smith Barney, and Directors/Trustees of any of the Smith
Barney mutual funds, and their spouses and children. The fund
reserves the right to waive or change minimums, to decline any order
to purchase its shares and to suspend the offering of shares from
time to time. Shares purchased will be held in the shareholder's
account by PFPC. Share certificates are issued only upon a
shareholder's written request to PFPC. It is not recommended that
the fund be used as a vehicle for Keogh, IRA or other qualified
retirement plans.
Purchase orders received by the fund or a Salomon Smith Barney
Financial Consultant prior to the close of regular trading on the
NYSE, on any day the fund calculates its net asset value, are priced
according to the net asset value determined on that day (the ''trade
date''). Orders received by a Dealer Representative prior to the
close of regular trading on the NYSE on any day the fund calculates
its net asset value, are priced according to the net asset value
determined on that day, provided the order is received by the fund
or the fund's agent prior to its close of business. For shares
purchased through Salomon Smith Barney or a Dealer Representative
purchasing through Salomon Smith Barney, payment for shares of the
fund is due on the third business day after the trade date. In all
other cases, payment must be made with the purchase order.
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 the sub-transfer agent is
authorized through preauthorized transfers of at least $25 on a
monthly basis or at least $50 on a quarterly basis to charge the
shareholder's account held with a bank or other financial
institution on a monthly or quarterly basis as indicated by the
shareholder, to provide for systematic additions to the
shareholder's fund 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 the sub-transfer agent. The Systematic
Investment Plan also authorizes Salomon Smith Barney to apply cash
held in the shareholder's Salomon Smith Barney brokerage account or
redeem the shareholder's shares of a Smith Barney money market fund
to make additions to the account. Additional information is
available from the fund or a Salomon Smith Barney Financial
Consultant or a Dealer Representative.
Sales Charge Waivers and Reductions
Initial Sales Charge Waivers. Purchases of Class A shares may be
made at net asset value without a sales charge in the following
circumstances: (a) sales to (i) Board Members and employees of
Citigroup and its subsidiaries and any Citigroup affiliated funds
including the Smith Barney mutual funds (including retired Board
Members and employees); the immediate families of such persons
(including the surviving spouse of a deceased Board Member or
employee); and to a pension, profit-sharing or other benefit plan
for such persons and (ii) employees of members of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., provided such sales are
made upon the assurance of the purchaser that the purchase is made
for investment purposes and that the securities will not be resold
except through redemption or repurchase; (b) offers of Class A
shares to any other investment company to effect the combination of
such company with the fund by merger, acquisition of assets or
otherwise; (c) purchases of Class A shares by any client of a newly
employed Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant (for a period up
to 90 days from the commencement of the Financial Consultant's
employment with Salomon Smith Barney), on the condition the purchase
of Class A shares is made with the proceeds of the redemption of
shares of a mutual fund which (i) was sponsored by the Financial
Consultant's prior employer, (ii) was sold to the client by the
Financial Consultant and (iii) was subject to a sales charge; (d)
purchases by shareholders who have redeemed Class A shares in the
fund (or Class A shares of another Smith Barney mutual fund that is
offered with a sales charge) and who wish to reinvest their
redemption proceeds in the fund, provided the reinvestment is made
within 60 calendar days of the redemption; (e) purchases by accounts
managed by registered investment advisory subsidiaries of Citigroup;
(f) investments of distributions from or proceeds from a sale of a
UIT sponsored by Salomon Smith Barney; and (g) purchases by
investors participating in a Salomon Smith Barney fee-based
arrangement. In order to obtain such discounts, the purchaser must
provide sufficient information at the time of purchase to permit
verification that the purchase would qualify for the elimination of
the sales charge.
Right of Accumulation. Class A shares of the fund may be purchased
by ''any person'' (as defined above) at a reduced sales charge or at
net asset value determined by aggregating the dollar amount of the
new purchase and the total net asset value of all Class A shares of
the fund and of other Smith Barney mutual funds that are offered
with a sales charge as currently listed under ''Exchange Privilege''
then held by such person and applying the sales charge applicable to
such aggregate. In order to obtain such discount, the purchaser
must provide sufficient information at the time of purchase to
permit verification that the purchase qualifies for the reduced
sales charge. The right of accumulation is subject to modification
or discontinuance at any time with respect to all shares purchased
thereafter.
Letter of Intent - Class A Shares. A Letter of Intent for an amount
of $50,000 or more provides an opportunity for an investor to obtain
a reduced sales charge by aggregating investments over a 13 month
period, provided the investor refers to such Letter when placing
orders. For purposes of a Letter of Intent, the ''Amount of
Investment'' as referred to in the preceding sales charge table
includes (i) all Class A shares of the fund and other Smith Barney
mutual funds offered with a sales charge acquired during the term of
the letter plus (ii) the value of all Class A shares previously
purchased and still owned. Each investment made during the period
receives the reduced sales charge applicable to the total amount of
the investment goal. If the goal is not achieved within the period,
the investor must pay the difference between the sales charges
applicable to the purchases made and the charges previously paid, or
an appropriate number of escrowed shares will be redeemed. The term
of the Letter will commence upon the date the Letter is signed, or
at the option of the investor, up to 90 days before such date.
Please contact a Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or Citi
Fiduciary Trust Company (the "transfer agent") to obtain a Letter of
Intent application.
Letter of Intent - Class Y Shares. A Letter of Intent may also be
used as a way for investors to meet the minimum investment
requirement for Class Y shares (except purchases of Class Y shares
by Smith Barney Concert Allocation Series Inc., for which there is
no minimum purchase amount). 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 to date will be transferred to Class A
shares, where they will be subject to all fees (including a service
fee of 0.15%) and expenses applicable to the fund's Class A shares,
which may include a deferred sales charge of 1.00%. Please contact
a Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or the transfer agent
for further information.
Deferred Sales Charge Provisions
''Deferred Sales Charge Shares'' are: (a) Class B shares; (b) Class
L shares; and (c) Class A shares were purchased without an initial
sales charge but subject to a deferred sales charge. A deferred
sales charge may be imposed on certain redemptions of these shares.
Any applicable deferred sales charge will be assessed on an amount
equal to the lesser of the original cost of the shares being
redeemed or their net asset value at the time of redemption.
Deferred Sales Charge Shares that are redeemed will not be subject
to a deferred sales charge to the extent the value of such shares
represents: (a) capital appreciation of fund assets; (b)
reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions; (c) with
respect to Class B shares, shares redeemed more than five years
after their purchase; or (d) with respect to Class L shares and
Class A shares that are Deferred Sales Charge Shares, shares
redeemed more than 12 months after their purchase.
Class L shares and Class A shares that are Deferred Sales Charge
Shares are subject to a 1.00% deferred sales charge if redeemed
within 12 months of purchase. In circumstances in which the deferred
sales charge is imposed on Class B shares, the amount of the charge
will depend on the number of years since the shareholder made the
purchase payment from which the amount is being redeemed. Solely
for purposes of determining the number of years since a purchase
payment, all purchase payments made during a month will be
aggregated and deemed to have been made on the last day of the
preceding Salomon Smith Barney statement month. The following table
sets forth the rates of the charge for redemptions of Class B shares
by shareholders.
Year Since Purchase Payment Was Made
Deferred sales charge
First
4.50%
Second
4.00
Third
3.00
Fourth
2.00
Fifth
1.00
Sixth and thereafter
0.00
Class B shares will convert automatically to Class A shares eight
years after the date on which they were purchased and thereafter
will no longer be subject to any distribution fees. There will also
be converted at that time such proportion of Class B Dividend Shares
owned by the shareholders as the total number of his or her Class B
shares converting at the time bears to the total number of
outstanding Class B shares (other than Class B Dividend Shares)
owned by the shareholder.
In determining the applicability of any deferred sales charge, it
will be assumed that redemption is made first of shares representing
capital appreciation, next of shares representing the reinvestment
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 Deferred Sales Charge Shares acquired through an
exchange have been held will be calculated from the date the shares
exchanged were initially acquired in one of the other Smith Barney
mutual funds, and fund shares being redeemed will be considered to
represent, as applicable, capital appreciation or dividend and
capital gain distribution reinvestments in such other funds. For
Federal income tax purposes, the amount of the deferred sales charge
will reduce the gain or increase the loss, as the case may be, on
the amount realized on redemption. The amount of any deferred sales
charge will be paid to Salomon Smith Barney.
To provide an example, assume an investor purchased 100 Class B
shares of the fund at $10 per share for a cost of $1,000.
Subsequently, the investor acquired 5 additional shares of the fund
through dividend reinvestment. During the fifteenth month after the
purchase, the investor decided to redeem $500 of his or her
investment. Assuming at the time of the redemption the net asset
value had appreciated to $12 per share, the value of the investor's
shares would be $1,260 (105 shares at $12 per share). The deferred
sales charge would not be applied to the amount which represents
appreciation ($200) and the value of the reinvested dividend shares
($60). Therefore, $240 of the $500 redemption proceeds ($500 minus
$260) would be charged at a rate of 4.00% (the applicable rate for
Class B shares) for a total deferred sales charge of $9.60.
Waivers of Deferred Sales Charge
The deferred sales charge will be waived on: (a) exchanges (see
"Exchange Privilege"); (b) automatic cash withdrawals in amounts
equal to or less than 1.00% per month of the value of the
shareholder's shares at the time the withdrawal plan commences (see
"Automatic Cash Withdrawal Plan") (however, automatic cash
withdrawals in amounts equal to or less than 2.00% per month of the
value of the shareholder's shares will be permitted for withdrawal
plans established prior to November 7, 1994); (c) redemptions of
shares within 12 months following the death or disability of the
shareholder; (d) involuntary redemptions; and (e) redemptions of
shares to effect a combination of the fund with any investment
company by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise. In addition,
a shareholder who has redeemed shares from other 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 deferred sales charge imposed on the prior redemption.
Deferred sales charge 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 the transfer agent
in the case of all other shareholders) of the shareholder's status
or holdings, as the case may be.
Volume Discounts
The schedule of sales charges on Class A shares described in the
prospectus applies to purchases made by any "purchaser," which is
defined to include the following: (a) an individual; (b) an
individual's spouse and his or her children purchasing shares for
their own account; (c) a trustee or other fiduciary purchasing
shares for a single trust estate or single fiduciary account; and
(d) a trustee or other professional fiduciary (including a bank, or
an investment adviser registered with the SEC under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, as amended) purchasing shares of the fund for
one or more trust estates or fiduciary accounts. Purchasers who
wish to combine purchase orders to take advantage of volume
discounts on Class A shares should contact a Salomon Smith Barney
Financial Consultant.
DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE
Each class' net asset value per share is calculated on each day,
Monday through Friday, except days on which the NYSE is closed. The
NYSE currently is scheduled to be closed on New Year's Day, Martin
Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day,
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and on the
preceding Friday or subsequent Monday when one of these holidays
falls on a Saturday or Sunday, respectively. Because of the
differences in distribution fees and class-specific expenses, the
per share net asset value of each class may differ. The following is
a description of the procedures used by the fund in valuing its
assets.
Generally, the fund's investments are valued at market value or, in
the absence of a market value with respect to any securities, at
fair value as determined by or under the direction of the Board of
Directors. A security that is primarily traded on a domestic or
foreign exchange is valued at the last sale price on that exchange
or, if there were no sales during the day, at the mean between the
bid and asked price. Over-the-counter securities are valued at the
mean between the bid and asked price. If market quotations for
those securities are not readily available, they are valued at fair
value, as determined in good faith by the fund's Board of Directors.
An option is generally valued at the last sale price or, in the
absence of a last sale price, the last offer price.
U.S. government securities will be valued at the mean between the
closing bid and asked prices on each day, or, if market quotations
for those securities are not readily available, at fair value, as
determined in good faith by the fund's Board of Directors.
Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at
amortized cost whenever the Board of Directors determines that
amortized cost reflects fair value of those investments. Amortized
cost valuation involves valuing an instrument at its cost initially
and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any
discount or premium, regardless of the effect of fluctuating
interest rates on the market value of the instrument.
All other securities and other assets of the fund will be valued at
fair value as determined in good faith by the fund's Board of
Directors.
Determination of Public Offering Price
The fund offers its shares to the public on a continuous basis. The
public offering price per Class A and Class Y share of the fund is
equal to the net asset value per share at the time of purchase plus,
for Class A shares, an initial sales charge based on the aggregate
amount of the investment. The public offering price per Class B and
Class L share (and Class A share purchases, including applicable
rights of accumulation, equaling or exceeding $500,000) is equal to
the net asset value per share at the time of purchase and no sales
charge is imposed at the time of purchase. The method of computing
the public offering price is shown in the fund's financial
statements, incorporated by reference in their entirety into this
SAI.
REDEMPTION OF SHARES
The fund is required to redeem the shares of the fund tendered to
it, as described below, at a redemption price equal to their net
asset value per share next determined after receipt of a written
request in proper form at no charge other than any applicable
deferred sales charge. Redemption requests received after the close
of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net asset value
next determined.
If a shareholder holds shares in more than one Class, any request
for redemption must specify the Class being redeemed. In the event
of a failure to specify which Class, or if the investor owns fewer
shares of the Class than specified, the redemption request will be
delayed until the transfer agent receives further instructions from
Salomon Smith Barney, or if the shareholder's account is not with
Salomon Smith Barney, from the shareholder directly. The redemption
proceeds will be remitted on or before the third business day
following receipt of proper tender, except on any days on which the
NYSE is closed 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. Redemption proceeds for shares purchased by check,
other than a certified or official bank check, will be remitted upon
clearance of the check, which may take up to ten days or more.
Shares held by Salomon Smith Barney as custodian must be redeemed by
submitting a written request to a Salomon Smith Barney Financial
Consultant. Shares other than those held by Salomon Smith Barney as
custodian may be redeemed through an investor's Financial
Consultant, Dealer Representative or by submitting a written request
for redemption to:
Smith Barney Managed Municipals Fund Inc.
Class A, B, L or Y (please specify)
c/o PFPC Global Fund Services
P.O. Box 9699
Providence, Rhode Island 02940-9699
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 the sub-transfer agent together with the
redemption request. Any signature appearing on a share certificate,
stock power or written redemption request in excess of $10,000 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. The
transfer agent 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 the transfer agent receives all required
documents in proper form.
Automatic Cash Withdrawal Plan. The fund offers shareholders an
automatic cash withdrawal plan, under which shareholders who own
shares with a value of at least $10,000 may elect to receive cash
payments of at least $50 monthly or quarterly. Retirement plan
accounts are eligible for automatic cash withdrawal plans only where
the shareholder is eligible to receive qualified distributions and
has an account value of at least $5,000. The withdrawal plan will
be carried over on exchanges between Classes of a fund. Any
applicable deferred sales charge will not be waived on amounts
withdrawn by a shareholder that exceed 1.00% per month of the value
of the shareholder's shares subject to the deferred sales charge at
the time the withdrawal plan commences. (With respect to withdrawal
plans in effect prior to November 7, 1994, any applicable deferred
sales charge will be waived on amounts withdrawn that do not exceed
2.00% per month of the value of the shareholder's shares subject to
the deferred sales charge.) For further information regarding the
automatic cash withdrawal plan, shareholders should contact a
Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program. Shareholders who do not
have a brokerage account may be eligible to redeem and exchange
shares by telephone. To determine if a shareholder is entitled to
participate in this program, he or she should contact the transfer
agent 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 the
transfer agent 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 a fund.)
Redemptions. Redemption requests of up to $10,000 of any class or
classes of shares of a fund may be made by eligible shareholders by
calling the transfer agent 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. 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 the transfer agent at
1-800-451-2010 between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on any
day on which the NYSE is open.
Additional Information Regarding Telephone Redemption and Exchange
Program. Neither the fund nor its agents will be liable for
following instructions communicated by telephone that are reasonably
believed to be genuine. The 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).
The 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.
Redemptions in Kind. In conformity with applicable rules of the
SEC, redemptions may be paid in portfolio securities, in cash or any
combination of both, as the Board of Directors may deem advisable;
however, payments shall be made wholly in cash unless the Board of
Directors believes economic conditions exist that would make such a
practice detrimental to the best interests of the fund and its
remaining shareholders. If a redemption is paid in portfolio
securities, such securities will be valued in accordance with the
procedures described under "Determination of Net Asset Value" in the
Prospectus and a shareholder would incur brokerage expenses if these
securities were then converted to cash.
Distributions in Kind
If the fund's Board of Directors determines that it would be
detrimental to the best interests of the remaining shareholders of
the fund to make a redemption payment wholly in cash, the fund may
pay, in accordance with SEC rules, any portion of a redemption in
excess of the lesser of $250,000 or 1.00% of the fund's net assets
by a distribution in kind of portfolio securities in lieu of cash.
Securities issued as a distribution in kind may incur brokerage
commissions when shareholders subsequently sell those securities.
Automatic Cash Withdrawal Plan
An automatic cash withdrawal plan (the "Withdrawal Plan") is
available to shareholders who own shares with a value of at least
$10,000 and who wish to receive specific amounts of cash monthly or
quarterly. Withdrawals of at least $50 may be made under the
Withdrawal Plan by redeeming as many shares of the fund as may be
necessary to cover the stipulated withdrawal payment. Any applicable
deferred sales charge will not be waived on amounts withdrawn by
shareholders that exceed 1.00% per month of the value of a
shareholder's shares at the time the Withdrawal Plan commences.
(With respect to Withdrawal Plans in effect prior to November 7,
1994, any applicable deferred sales charge will be waived on amounts
withdrawn that do not exceed 2.00% per month of the value of a
shareholder's shares at the time the Withdrawal Plan commences.) To
the extent withdrawals exceed dividends, distributions and
appreciation of a shareholder's investment in the fund, there will
be a reduction in the value of the shareholder's investment, and
continued withdrawal payments will reduce the shareholder's
investment and may ultimately exhaust it. Withdrawal payments should
not be considered as income from investment in the fund.
Furthermore, as it generally would not be advantageous to a
shareholder to make additional investments in the fund at the same
time he or she is participating in the Withdrawal Plan, purchases by
such shareholder in amounts of less than $5,000 ordinarily will not
be permitted.
Shareholders who wish to participate in the Withdrawal Plan and who
hold their shares in certificate form must deposit their share
certificates with the Transfer Agent as agent for Withdrawal Plan
members. All dividends and distributions on shares in the Withdrawal
Plan are reinvested automatically at net asset value in additional
shares of the fund. For additional information, shareholders should
contact a Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant. Withdrawal
Plans should be set up with a Salomon Smith Barney Financial
Consultant. A shareholder who purchases shares directly through the
Transfer Agent may continue to do so and applications for
participation in the Withdrawal Plan must be received by the
Transfer Agent no later than the eighth day of the month to be
eligible for participation beginning with that month's withdrawals.
For additional information, shareholders should contact a Salomon
Smith Barney Financial Consultant.

Distributor
Effective June 5, 2000, Salomon Smith Barney replaced CFBDS, Inc. as
the fund's distributor. Prior to June 5, 2000, CFBDS, Inc., located
at 20 Milk Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109-5408 serves as the
fund's distributor pursuant to a written agreement dated October 8,
1998 (the "Distribution Agreement") which was approved by the fund's
Board of Directors, including a majority of the independent
directors on July 15, 1998. Prior to the merger of Travelers Group,
Inc. and Citicorp Inc. on October 8, 1998, Salomon Smith Barney
served as the fund's distributor.] For the 1998 fiscal year,
Salomon Smith Barney, received $68,000, in sales charges from the
sale of Class A shares, and did not reallow any portion thereof to
dealers. For the period February 28, 1998 through October 7, 1998
the aggregate dollar amount of initial sales charges on Class A
shares was $55,400 all of which was paid to Salomon Smith Barney.
For the period October 8, 1998 through February 28, 1999 the
aggregate dollar amount of initial sales charges on Class A shares
was $48,000, $43,200 of which was paid to Salomon Smith Barney. For
the fiscal year ended February 29, 2000 the aggregate dollar amount
of initial sales charges on Class A shares was $1,597,000,
$1,437,300 of which was paid to Salomon Smith Barney.
For the period June 12, 1998 through October 7, 1998 the aggregate
dollar amount of initial sales charges on Class L shares was $1,000,
all of which was paid to Salomon Smith Barney. For the period
October 8, 1998 through February 28, 1999 the aggregate dollar
amount of sales charges on Class L shares was $198,000, $178,200 of
which was paid to Salomon Smith Barney. For the fiscal year ended
February 29, 2000 the aggregate dollar amount of initial sales
charges on Class L shares was $197,000, $177,300 of which was paid
to Salomon Smith Barney.
For the fiscal years ended February 28, 1998 and 1999 and February
29, 2000, Salomon Smith Barney or its predecessor received from
shareholders $194,000, $72,000 and $178,000, respectively, in
deferred sales charges on the redemption of Class A shares. For the
fiscal years ended February 28, 1998 and 1999 and February 29, 2000,
Salomon Smith Barney or its predecessor received from shareholders
$1,275,000, $1,404,000 and $2,384,000, respectively, in deferred
sales charges on the redemption of Class B shares. For the fiscal
years ended February 28, 1998 and 1999 and February 29, 2000,
Salomon Smith Barney or its predecessor received from $29,000,
32,000 and $46,000, respectively, in deferred sales charges on
redemption of Class L shares.
When payment is made by the investor before the settlement date,
unless otherwise noted by the investor, the funds will be held as a
free credit balance in the investor's brokerage account and Salomon
Smith Barney may benefit from the temporary use of the funds. The
fund's Board of Directors has been advised of the benefits to
Salomon Smith Barney resulting from these settlement procedures and
will take such benefits into consideration when reviewing the
Investment Advisory Agreement for continuance.
Distribution Arrangements. To compensate Salomon Smith Barney for
the service it provides and for the expense it bears, 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 0.15% of the value of the fund's
average daily net assets attributable to the Class A, Class B and
Class L shares. In addition, the fund pays Salomon Smith Barney a
distribution fee with respect to Class B and Class L shares
primarily intended to compensate Salomon Smith Barney for its
initial expense of paying Financial Consultants a commission upon
sales of those shares. The Class B and Class L distribution fee is
calculated at the annual rate of 0.50% and 0.55%, respectively, of
the value of the fund's average net assets attributable to the
shares of each Class.
For the fiscal year ended February 29, 2000, Salomon Smith Barney
incurred distribution expenses totaling $9,230,362 consisting of
$676,417 for advertising, $85,521 for printing and mailing of
prospectuses, $2,021,808 for support services, $3,943,403 to Salomon
Smith Barney Financial Consultants, and $69,547 in accruals for
interest on the excess of Salomon Smith Barney expenses incurred in
distributing the fund's shares over the sum of the distribution fees
and deferred sales charge received by Salomon Smith Barney from the
fund.
The following service and distribution fees were incurred pursuant
to a Distribution Plan during the periods indicated:
Distribution Plan Fees

* Class L shares were called Class C shares until June 12,
1998.
Under its terms, the Plan continues from year to year, provided such
continuance is approved annually by vote of the Board of Directors,
including a majority of the independent directors. The Plan may not
be amended to increase the amount of the service and distribution
fees without shareholder approval, and all material amendments of
the Plan also must be approved by the directors and independent
directors in the manner described above. The Plan may be terminated
with respect to a Class of the fund at any time, without penalty, by
vote of a majority of the independent directors or by a vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Class (as
defined in the 1940 Act). Pursuant to the Plan, Salomon Smith
Barney will provide the fund's Board of Directors with periodic
reports of amounts expended under the Plan and the purpose for which
such expenditures were made.
VALUATION OF SHARES
The fund's net asset value per share is determined as of close of
regular trading on the NYSE, on each day that the NYSE is open, by
dividing value of the fund's net assets attributable to each Class
by the total number of shares of that Class outstanding.
When, in the judgment of the pricing service, quoted bid prices for
investments are readily available and are representative of the bid
side of the market, these investments are valued at the mean between
the quoted bid and asked prices. Investments for which, in the
judgment of the pricing service, there is no readily obtainable
market quotation (which may constitute a majority of the portfolio
securities) are carried at fair value of securities of similar type,
yield and maturity. Pricing services generally determine value by
reference to transactions in municipal obligations, quotations from
municipal bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities
and various relationships between securities. Short-term
investments that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized
cost whenever the Board of Directors determines that amortized cost
is fair value. Amortized cost valuation involves valuing an
instrument at its cost initially and, thereafter, assuming a
constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium,
regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market
value of the instrument. Securities and other assets that are not
priced by a pricing service and for which market quotations are not
available will be valued in good faith at fair value by or under the
direction of the fund's Board of Directors.
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE
Shares of each Class of the fund may be exchanged for shares of the
same Class of certain Smith Barney mutual funds, to the extent
shares are offered for sale in the shareholder's state of residence.
Exchanges of Class A, Class B and Class L shares are subject to
minimum investment requirements and all shares are subject to the
other requirements of the fund into which exchanges are made.
Class B Exchanges. If a Class B shareholder wishes to exchange all
or a portion of his or her shares in any of the funds imposing a
higher deferred sales charge than that imposed by the fund, the
exchanged Class B shares will be subject to the higher applicable
deferred sales charge. Upon an exchange, the new Class B shares will
be deemed to have been purchased on the same date as the Class B
shares of the fund that have been exchanged.
Class L Exchanges. Upon an exchange, the new Class L shares will be
deemed to have been purchased on the same date as the Class L shares
of the fund that have been exchanged.
Class A and Class Y Exchanges. Class A and Class Y shareholders of
the fund who wish to exchange all or a portion of their shares for
shares of the respective Class in any of the funds identified above
may do so without imposition of any charge.
Additional Information Regarding the Exchange Privilege. Although
the exchange privilege is an important benefit, excessive exchange
transactions can be detrimental to the fund's performance and its
shareholders. The manager may determine that a pattern of frequent
exchanges is excessive and contrary to the best interests of the
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 fund 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 Redemptions and Exchange
Program.'' Exchanges will be processed at the net asset value next
determined. Redemption procedures discussed below 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. An exchange involves a taxable
redemption of shares, subject to the tax treatment described in
"Dividends, Distributions and Taxes" below, followed by a purchase
of shares of a different fund. Before exchanging shares, investors
should read the current prospectus describing the shares to be
acquired. The fund reserves the right to modify or discontinue
exchange privileges upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders.
Additional Information Regarding Telephone Redemption and Exchange
Program
Neither the fund nor its agents will be liable for instructions
communicated by telephone that are reasonably believed to be
genuine. The fund or 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). The 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.
PERFORMANCE DATA
From time to time, the fund may quote total return of a class in
advertisements or in reports and other communications to
shareholders. The fund may include comparative performance
information in advertising or marketing the fund's shares. Such
performance information may include data from the following industry
and financial publications: Barron's, Business Week, CDA Investment
Technologies, Inc., Changing Times, Forbes, Fortune, Institutional
Investor, Investors Business Daily, Money, Morningstar Mutual Fund
Values, The New York Times, USA Today and The Wall Street Journal.
Yield and Equivalent Taxable Yield
A Class' 30-day yield figure described below is calculated according
to a formula prescribed by the SEC. The formula can be expressed as
follows:
YIELD =2 [(a-b +1)6-1]
cd
Where: a = dividends and interest earned during the
period.
b = expenses accrued for the period (net of
reimbursement).
c = the average daily number of shares
outstanding during the period that were
entitled to receive dividends.
d = the maximum offering price per share on the
last day of the period.
For the purpose of determining the interest earned (variable "a'' in
the formula) on debt obligations that were purchased by the fund at
a discount or premium, the formula generally calls for amortization
of the discount or premium. The amortization schedule will be
adjusted monthly to reflect changes in the market values of the debt
obligations.
The fund's equivalent taxable 30-day yield for a Class of shares is
computed by dividing that portion of the Class' 30-day yield which
is tax-exempt by one minus a stated income tax rate and adding the
product to that portion, if any, of the Class' yield that is not
tax-exempt.
The yields on municipal securities are dependent upon a variety of
factors, including general economic and monetary conditions,
conditions of the municipal securities market, size of a particular
offering, maturity of the obligation offered and rating of the
issue. Investors should recognize that in periods of declining
interest rates the fund's yield for each Class of shares will tend
to be somewhat higher than prevailing market rates, and in periods
of rising interest rates the fund's yield for each Class of shares
will tend to be somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are
falling, the inflow of net new money to the fund from the continuous
sale of its shares will likely be invested in portfolio instruments
producing lower yields than the balance of the fund's portfolio,
thereby reducing the current yield of the fund. In periods of rising
interest rates, the opposite can be expected to occur.
The fund's yield for Class A, Class B and Class L shares for the 30-
day period ended February 29, 2000 was 5.89%, 5.62%, 5,52% and
6.32%, respectively. The equivalent taxable yield for Class A,
Class B, Class L and Class Y shares for that same period was 9.20%,
8.78%, 8.63% and 9.88%, respectively, assuming the payment of
Federal income taxes at a rate of 36%.
Average Annual Total Return
"Average annual total return," as described below, is computed
according to a formula prescribed by the SEC. The formula can be
expressed as follows:
P (1+T)n = ERV
Where: P = a hypothetical initial payment
of $1,000.
T = average annual total return.
N = number of years.
ERV = Ending Redeemable Value of a
hypothetical $1,000 investment made
at the beginning of a 1-, 5-, or 10-
year period at the end of a 1-, 5-,
or 10-year period (or fractional
portion thereof), assuming
reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions.
The fund's average annual total return for Class A shares assuming
the maximum applicable sales charge was as follows for the periods
indicated (reflecting the waiver of the fund's investment advisory
and administration fees and reimbursement of expenses):
(10.33)% for the one-year period ended February 29, 2000.
4.05% for the five-year period ended February 29, 2000.
6.81% for the ten-year period ended February 29, 2000.
9.50% per annum during the period from the fund's commencement
of operations on March 4, 1981 through February 29, 2000.
A Class' average annual total return assumes that the maximum
applicable sales charge or deferred sales charge assessed by the
fund has been deducted from the hypothetical investment. If the
maximum 4.00% sales charge had not been deducted, Class A's average
annual total return would have been (6.62)%, 4.90%, 7.26% and 9.74%,
respectively, for those same periods.
The fund's average annual total return for Class B shares assuming
the maximum applicable deferred sales charge was as follows for the
periods indicated (reflecting the waiver of the fund's investment
advisory and administration fees and reimbursement of expenses):
(11.09)% for the one-year period ended February 29, 2000.
4.20% for the five-year period ended February 29, 2000.
5.92% per annum during the period from the fund's commencement
of operations on November 6, 1992 through February 29, 2000.
If the maximum applicable deferred sales charge had not been
deducted at the time of redemption, Class B's average annual total
return would have been (7.08)%, 4.36% and 5.92%, respectively, for
the same periods.
The fund's average annual total return for Class L shares assuming
the maximum applicable deferred sales charge was as follows for the
periods indicated (reflecting the waiver of the fund's investment
advisory and administration fees and reimbursement of expenses):
(8.99)% for the one-year period ended February 29, 2000.
4.09% for the five-year period ended February 29, 2000.
6.16% per annum during the period from the fund's commencement
of operations on November 9, 1994 through February 29, 2000.
If the maximum applicable deferred sales charge had not been
deducted at the time of redemption, Class L's average annual total
return would have been (7.19)%, 4.30% and 6.35%.
The fund's average annual total return for Class Y shares assuming
the maximum applicable deferred sales charge was as follows for the
periods indicated (reflecting the waiver of the fund's investment
advisory and administration fees and reimbursement of expenses):
(6.44)% for the one-year period ended February 29, 2000.
4.87% per annum during the period from the fund's commencement
of operations on April 4, 1995 through February 29, 2000.
Class Y's shares do not incur sales charges or deferred sales
charges.
Aggregate Total Return
"Aggregate total return" represents the cumulative change in the
value of an investment in the Class for the specified period and is
computed by the following formula:
ERV-P
P
Where: P = a hypothetical initial payment of $10,000.
ERV = Ending Redeemable Value of a hypothetical
$10,000 investment made at the beginning of
a 1-, 5-, or 10-year period at the end of a
1-, 5-, or 10-year period (or fractional
portion thereof), assuming reinvestment of
all dividends and distributions.
The fund's aggregate total return for Class A shares was as follows
for the periods indicated (reflecting the waiver of the fund's
investment advisory and administration fees and reimbursement of
expenses):
(10.33)% for the one-year period ended February 29, 2000.
21.95% for the five-year period ended February 29, 2000.
93.34% for the ten-year period ended February 29, 2000.
460.92% for the period from the fund's commencement of
operations on March 4, 1981 through February 29, 2000.
Class A's aggregate total return assumes that the maximum applicable
sales charge or maximum applicable deferred sales charge has been
deducted from the investment. If the maximum sales charge had not
been deducted at the time of purchase, Class A's aggregate total
return for the same periods would have been (6.62)%, 27.00%, 101.46%
and 484.41%, respectively.
The fund's aggregate total return for Class B shares was as follows
for the periods indicated (reflecting the waiver of the fund's
investment advisory and administration fees and reimbursement of
expenses):
(11.09)% for the one-year period ended February 29, 2000.
22.84% for the five-year period ended February 29, 2000.
52.30% for the period from commencement of operations on
November 6, 1992 through February 29, 2000.
If the maximum applicable deferred sales charge had not been
deducted at the time of redemption, Class B's aggregate total return
for the same periods would have been (7.08)%, 23.76% and 52.30%,
respectively.
The fund's aggregate total return for Class L shares was as follows
for the period indicated (reflecting the waiver of the fund's
investment advisory and administration fees and reimbursement of
expenses):
(8.99)% for the one-year period ended February 29, 2000.
22.18% for the five-year period ended February 29, 2000.
37.34% for the period from commencement of operations on
November 09, 1994 through February 29, 2000.
If the maximum applicable deferred sales charge had not been
deducted at the time of redemption, Class L's aggregate total return
for the same periods would have been (7.19)%, 23.44 and 38.69%.
The fund's aggregate total return for Class Y shares was as follows
for the period indicated (reflecting the waiver of the fund's
investment advisory and administration fees and reimbursement of
expenses):
(6.44)% for the one-year period ended February 29, 2000.
26.31% for the period from commencement of operations on April
4, 1995 through
February 29, 2000.
Class Y shares do not incur sales charges or deferred sales charges.
Performance will vary from time to time depending on market
conditions, the composition of the fund's portfolio and operating
expenses and the expenses exclusively attributable to the Class.
Consequently, any given performance quotation should not be
considered as representative of the Class' performance for any
specified period in the future. Because performance will vary, it
may not provide a basis for comparing an investment in the Class
with certain bank deposits or other investments that pay a fixed
yield for a stated period of time. Investors comparing a Class'
performance with that of other mutual funds should give
consideration to the quality and maturity of the respective
investment companies' portfolio securities.
It is important to note that the total return figures set forth
above are based on historical earnings and are not intended to
indicate future performance. Each Class' net investment income
changes in response to fluctuations in interest rates and the
expenses of the fund.
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
Dividends and Distributions. The fund's policy is to declare and
pay exempt-interest dividends monthly. Dividends from net realized
capital gains, if any, will be distributed annually. The fund may
also pay additional dividends shortly before December 31 from
certain amounts of undistributed ordinary income and capital gains,
in order to avoid a Federal excise tax liability. If a shareholder
does not otherwise instruct, exempt-interest dividends and capital
gain distributions will be reinvested automatically in additional
shares of the same Class at net asset value, with no additional
sales charge or deferred sales charge.
The per share amounts of the exempt-interest dividends on Class B
and Class L shares may be lower than on Class A and Class Y shares,
mainly as a result of the distribution fees applicable to Class B
and Class L shares. Similarly, the per share amounts of exempt-
interest dividends on Class A shares may be lower than on Class Y
shares, as a result of the service fee attributable to Class A
shares. Capital gain distributions, if any, will be the same across
all Classes of fund shares (A, B, L and Y).
Taxes. The following is a summary of the material United States
federal income tax considerations regarding the purchase, ownership
and disposition of shares of the fund. Each prospective shareholder
is urged to consult his own tax adviser with respect to the specific
federal, state and local consequences of investing in the fund. The
summary is based on the laws in effect on the date of this SAI,
which are subject to change.
The fund and its investments
As described in the fund's prospectus, the fund is designed to
provide shareholders with current income which is excluded from
gross income for federal income tax purposes. The fund is not
intended to constitute a balanced investment program and is not
designed for investors seeking capital gains or maximum tax-exempt
income irrespective of fluctuations in principal. Investment in the
fund would not be suitable for tax-exempt institutions, qualified
retirement plans, H.R. 10 plans and individual retirement accounts
because such investors would not gain any additional tax benefit
from the receipt of tax-exempt income.
The fund intends to continue to qualify to be treated as a regulated
investment company each taxable year under the Code. To so qualify,
the fund must, among other things: (a) derive at least 90% of its
gross income in each taxable year from dividends, interest, payments
with respect to securities loans, and gains from the sale or other
disposition of stock or securities or foreign currencies, or other
income (including, but not limited to, gains from options, futures
or forward contracts) derived with respect to its business of
investing in such stock, securities or currencies; and (b) diversify
its holdings so that, at the end of each quarter of the fund's
taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the market value of the fund's
assets is represented by cash, securities of other regulated
investment companies, United States government securities and other
securities, with such other securities limited, in respect of any
one issuer, to an amount not greater than 5% of the fund's assets
and not greater than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of
such issuer and (ii) not more than 25% of the value of its assets is
invested in the securities (other than United States government
securities or securities of other regulated investment companies) of
any one issuer or any two or more issuers that the fund controls and
are determined to be engaged in the same or similar trades or
businesses or related trades or businesses.
As a regulated investment company, the fund will not be subject to
United States federal income tax on its investment company taxable
income (i.e., taxable income other than any expenses of its net
realized long-term capital gains over its net realized short-term
capital losses ("net realized capital gains")) and on its net
realized capital gains, if any, that it distributes to its
shareholders, provided an amount equal to at least the sum of 90% of
its investment company taxable income, plus or minus certain other
adjustments as specified in the Code, and 90% of its net tax-exempt
income for the taxable year is distributed in compliance with the
Code's timing and other requirements but will be subject to tax at
regular corporate rates on any taxable income or gains it does not
distribute.
The Code imposes a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the fund to the
extent it does not distribute by the end of any calendar year at
least 98% of its net investment income for that year and 98% of the
net amount of its capital gains (both long-and short-term) for the
one-year period ending, as a general rule, on October 31 of that
year. For this purpose, however, any income or gain retained by the
fund that is subject to corporate income tax will be considered to
have been distributed by year-end. In addition, the minimum amounts
that must be distributed in any year to avoid the excise tax will be
increased or decreased to reflect any underdistribution or
overdistribution, as the case may be, from the previous year. The
fund anticipates it will pay such dividends and will make such
distributions as are necessary in order to avoid the application of
this tax.
On February 29, 2000, the unused capital loss carryovers of the fund
were approximately $76,312,000. For Federal income tax purposes,
this amount is available to be applied against future capital gains
of the fund, if any, that are realized prior to the expiration of
the applicable carryover. The amount, $11,499,000 of the total
unused capital loss carryover expires in 2007 and the remaining
$64,813,00 expires in 2008.
If, in any taxable year, the fund fails to qualify as a regulated
investment company under the Code or fails to meet the distribution
requirement, it would be taxed in the same manner as an ordinary
corporation and distributions to its shareholders would not be
deductible by the fund in computing its taxable income. In
addition, in the event of a failure to qualify, the fund's
distributions, to the extent derived from the fund's current or
accumulated earnings and profits would constitute dividends
(eligible for the corporate dividends-received deduction) which are
taxable to shareholders as ordinary income, even though those
distributions might otherwise (at least in part) have been treated
in the shareholders' hands as tax-exempt interest. If the fund
fails to qualify as a regulated investment company in any year, it
must pay out its earnings and profits accumulated in that year in
order to qualify again as a regulated investment company. In
addition, if the fund failed to qualify as a regulated investment
company for a period greater than one taxable year, the fund may be
required to recognize any net built-in gains with respect to certain
of its assets (the excess of the aggregate gains, including items of
income, over aggregate losses that would have been realized if it
had been liquidated) in order to qualify as a regulated investment
company in a subsequent year.
The fund's transactions in municipal bond index and interest rate
futures contracts and options on these futures contracts
(collectively "section 1256 contracts") will be subject to special
provisions of the Code (including provisions relating to "hedging
transactions" and "straddles") that, among other things, may affect
the character of gains and losses realized by the fund (i.e., may
affect whether gains or losses are ordinary or capital), accelerate
recognition of income to the fund and defer fund losses. These rules
could therefore affect the character, amount and timing of
distributions to shareholders. These provisions also (a) will
require the fund to mark-to-market certain types of positions in its
portfolio (i.e., treat them as if they were closed out) and (b) may
cause the fund to recognize income without receiving cash with which
to pay dividends or make distributions in amounts necessary to
satisfy the distribution requirements for avoiding income and excise
taxes. The fund will monitor its transactions, will make the
appropriate tax elections and will make the appropriate entries in
its books and records when it engages in these transactions in order
to mitigate the effect of these rules and prevent disqualification
of the fund as a regulated investment company.
All section 1256 contracts held by the fund at the end of its
taxable year are required to be marked to their market value, and
any unrealized gain or loss on those positions will be included in
the fund's income as if each position had been sold for its fair
market value at the end of the taxable year. The resulting gain or
loss will be combined with any gain or loss realized by the fund
from positions in section 1256 contracts closed during the taxable
year. Provided such positions were held as capital assets and were
not part of a "hedging transaction" nor part of a "straddle," 60% of
the resulting net gain or loss will be treated as long-term capital
gain or loss, and 40% of such net gain or loss will be treated as
short-term capital gain or loss, regardless of the period of time
the positions were actually held by the fund.
Taxation of Shareholders
Because the fund will distribute exempt-interest dividends, interest
on indebtedness incurred by a shareholder to purchase or carry fund
shares is not deductible for Federal income tax purposes. If a
shareholder receives exempt-interest dividends with respect to any
share and if such share is held by the shareholder for six months or
less, then, for Federal income tax purposes, any loss on the sale or
exchange of such share may, to the extent of exempt-interest
dividends, be disallowed. In addition, the Code may require a
shareholder, if he or she receives exempt-interest dividends, to
treat as Federal taxable income a portion of certain otherwise non-
taxable social security and railroad retirement benefit payments.
Furthermore, that portion of any exempt-interest dividend paid by
the fund which represents income derived from private activity bonds
held by the fund may not retain its Federal tax-exempt status in the
hands of a shareholder who is a "substantial user" of a facility
financed by such bonds or a "related person" thereof. Moreover,
some or all of the fund's dividends may be a specific preference
item, or a component of an adjustment item, for purposes of the
Federal individual and corporate alternative minimum taxes. In
addition, the receipt of the fund's dividends and distributions may
affect a foreign corporate shareholder's Federal "branch profits"
tax liability and Federal "excess net passive income" tax liability
of a shareholder of a Subchapter S corporation. Shareholders should
consult their own tax advisors to determine whether they are (a)
substantial users with respect to a facility or related to such
users within the meaning of the Code or (b) subject to a federal
alternative minimum tax, the Federal branch profits tax or the
Federal "excess net passive income" tax.
The fund does not expect to realize a significant amount of capital
gains. Net realized short-term capital gains are taxable to a
United States shareholder as ordinary income, whether paid in cash
or in shares. Distributions of net-long-term capital gains, if any,
that the fund designates as capital gains dividends are taxable as
long-term capital gains, whether paid in cash or in shares and
regardless of how long a shareholder has held shares of the fund.
Upon the sale or exchange of his shares, a shareholder will realize
a taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount
realized and his basis in his shares. Such gain or loss will be
treated as capital gain or loss, if the shares are capital assets in
the shareholder's hands, and will be long-term capital gain or loss
if the shares are held for more than one year and short-term capital
gain or loss if the shares are held for one year or less. Any loss
realized on a sale or exchange will be disallowed to the extent the
shares disposed of are replaced, including replacement through the
reinvesting of dividends and capital gains distributions in the
fund, within a 61-day period beginning 30 days before and ending 30
days after the disposition of the shares. In such a case, the basis
of the shares acquired will be increased to reflect the disallowed
loss. Any loss realized by a shareholder on the sale of a fund share
held by the shareholder for six months or less (to the extent not
disallowed pursuant to the six-month rule described above relating
to exempt-interest dividends) will be treated for United States
federal income tax purposes as a long-term capital loss to the
extent of any distributions or deemed distributions of long-term
capital gains received by the shareholder with respect to such
share.
If a shareholder incurs a sales charge in acquiring shares of the
fund, disposes of those shares within 90 days and then acquires
shares in a mutual fund for which the otherwise applicable sales
charge is reduced by reason of a reinvestment right (e.g., an
exchange privilege), the original sales charge will not be taken
into account in computing gain or loss on the original shares to the
extent the subsequent sales charge is reduced. Instead, the
disregarded portion of the original sales charge will be added to
the tax basis in the newly acquired shares. Furthermore, the same
rule also applies to a disposition of the newly acquired shares made
within 90 days of the second acquisition. This provision prevents
a shareholder from immediately deducting the sales charge by
shifting his or her investment in a family of mutual funds.
Backup Withholding. The fund may be required to withhold, for
United States federal income tax purposes, 31% of dividends,
distributions and redemption proceeds payable to shareholders who
fail to provide the fund with their correct taxpayer identification
number or to make required certifications, or who have been notified
by the IRS that they are subject to backup withholding. Certain
shareholders are exempt from backup withholding. Backup withholding
is not an additional tax and any amount withheld may be credited
against a shareholder's United States federal income tax
liabilities.
Notices. Shareholders will be notified annually by the fund as to
the United States federal income tax and personal income tax status
of the dividends and distributions made by the fund to its
shareholders. These statements also will designate the amount of
exempt-interest dividends that is a preference item for purposes of
the Federal individual and corporate alternative minimum taxes. The
dollar amount of dividends excluded or exempt from Federal income
taxation and the dollar amount of dividends subject to Federal
income taxation, if any, will vary for each shareholder depending
upon the size and duration of each shareholder's investment in the
fund. To the extent the fund earns taxable net investment income, it
intends to designate as taxable dividends the same percentage of
each day's dividend as its taxable net investment income bears to
its total net investment income earned on that day.
The foregoing is only a summary of certain material tax consequences
affecting the fund and its shareholders. Shareholders are advised
to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the particular tax
consequences to them of an investment in the fund.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The fund was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on
September 16, 1980, and is registered with the SEC as a diversified,
open-end management investment company.
Each Class of the fund's shares represents an identical interest in
the fund's investment portfolio. As a result, the Classes have the
same rights, privileges and preferences, except with respect to:
(a) the designation of each Class; (b) the effect of the respective
sales charges for each Class; (c) the distribution and/or service
fees borne by each Class; (d) the expenses allowable exclusively to
each Class; (e) voting rights on matters exclusively affecting a
single class; (f) the exchange privilege of each Class; and (g) the
conversion feature of the Class B shares. The Board of Directors
does not anticipate that there will be any conflicts among the
interests of the holders of the different Classes. The directors, on
an ongoing basis, will consider whether any such conflict exists
and, if so, take appropriate action.
The fund does not hold annual shareholder meetings. There normally
will 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. The
directors will call a meeting for any purpose upon written request
of shareholders holding at least 10% of the fund's outstanding
shares and the fund will assist shareholders in calling such a
meeting as required by the 1940 Act. When matters are submitted for
shareholder vote, shareholders of each Class will have one vote for
each full share owned and a proportionate, fractional vote for any
fractional share held of that Class. Generally, shares of the fund
will be voted on a fund-wide basis on all matters except matters
affecting only the interests of one Class.
The fund was incorporated on September 16, 1980 under the name
Shearson Managed Municipals Inc. On December 15, 1988, November 6,
1992, July 30, 1993 and October 14, 1994, the fund's name was
changed to SLH Managed Municipals Fund Inc., Shearson Lehman
Brothers Managed Municipals Fund Inc., Smith Barney Shearson Managed
Municipals Fund Inc. and Smith Barney Managed Municipals Fund Inc.,
respectively.

APPENDIX A
Description of S&P and Moody's ratings:
S&P Ratings for Municipal Bonds
S&P's Municipal Bond ratings cover obligations of states and
political subdivisions. Ratings are assigned to general obligation
and revenue bonds. General obligation bonds are usually secured by
all resources available to the municipality and the factors outlined
in the rating definitions below are weighed in determining the
rating. Because revenue bonds in general are payable from
specifically pledged revenues, the essential element in the security
for a revenue bond is the quantity and quality of the pledged
revenues available to pay debt service.
Although an appraisal of most of the same factors that bear on the
quality of general obligation bond credit is usually appropriate in
the rating analysis of a revenue bond, other factors are important,
including particularly the competitive position of the municipal
enterprise under review and the basic security covenants. Although
a rating reflects S&P's judgment as to the issuer's capacity for the
timely payment of debt service, in certain instances it may also
reflect a mechanism or procedure for an assured and prompt cure of
a default, should one occur, i.e., an insurance program, Federal or
state guarantee or the automatic withholding and use of state aid to
pay the defaulted debt service.
AAA
Prime - These are obligations of the highest quality. They have the
strongest capacity for timely payment of debt service.
General Obligation Bonds - In a period of economic stress, the
issuers will suffer the smallest declines in income and will be
least susceptible to autonomous decline. Debt burden is moderate.
A strong revenue structure appears more than adequate to meet future
expenditure requirements. Quality of management appears superior.
Revenue Bonds - Debt service coverage has been, and is expected to
remain, substantial. Stability of the pledged revenues is also
exceptionally strong, due to the competitive position of the
municipal enterprise or to the nature of the revenues. Basic
security provisions (including rate covenant, earnings test for
issuance of additional bonds, and debt service reserve requirements)
are rigorous. There is evidence of superior management.
AA
High Grade - The investment characteristics of general obligation
and revenue bonds in this group are only slightly less marked than
those of the prime quality issues. Bonds rated "AA'' have the
second strongest capacity for payment of debt service.
A
Good Grade - Principal and interest payments on bonds in this
category are regarded as safe. This rating describes the third
strongest capacity for payment of debt service. It differs from the
two higher ratings because:
General Obligation Bonds - There is some weakness, either in the
local economic base, in debt burden, in the balance between revenues
and expenditures, or in quality of management. Under certain
adverse circumstances, any one such weakness might impair the
ability of the issuer to meet debt obligations at some future date.
Revenue Bonds - Debt service coverage is good, but not exceptional.
Stability of the pledged revenues could show some variations
because of increased competition or economic influences on revenues.
Basic security provisions, while satisfactory, are less stringent.
Management performance appears adequate.
BBB
Medium Grade - Of the investment grade ratings, this is the lowest.
General Obligation Bonds - Under certain adverse conditions, several
of the above factors could contribute to a lesser capacity for
payment of debt service. The difference between "A'' and "BBB"
ratings is that the latter shows more than one fundamental weakness,
or one very substantial fundamental weakness, whereas the former
shows only one deficiency among the factors considered.
Revenue Bonds - Debt coverage is only fair. Stability of the
pledged revenues could show substantial variations, with the revenue
flow possibly being subject to erosion over time. Basic security
provisions are no more than adequate. Management performance could
be stronger.
BB, B, CCC and CC
Bonds rated BB, B, CCC and CC are regarded, on balance, as
predominately speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest
and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation.
BB indicates the lowest degree of speculation and CC the highest
degree of speculation. While such bonds will likely have some
quality and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by
large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse conditions.
C
The rating C is reserved for income bonds on which no interest is
being paid.
D
Bonds rated D are in default, and payment of interest and/or
repayment of principal is in arrears.
S&P's letter ratings may be modified by the addition of a plus or a
minus sign, which is used to show relative standing within the major
rating categories, except in the AAA-Prime Grade category.
S&P Ratings for Municipal Notes
Municipal notes with maturities of three years or less are usually
given note ratings (designated SP-1, -2 or -3) by S&P to distinguish
more clearly the credit quality of notes as compared to bonds.
Notes rated SP-1 have a very strong or strong capacity to pay
principal and interest. Those issues determined to possess
overwhelming safety characteristics are given the designation of SP-
1+. Notes rated SP-2 have a satisfactory capacity to pay principal
and interest.
Moody's Ratings for Municipal Bonds
Aaa
Bonds that are Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry
the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to
as "gilt edge.'' 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 which make
the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.
A
Bonds that are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes
and are to be considered as upper medium-grade obligations. Factors
giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate,
but elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to
impairment sometime in the future.
Baa
Bonds that are rated Baa are considered as medium-grade obligations,
i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured; interest
payments and principal security appear adequate for the present but
certain protective elements may be lacking or may be
characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such
bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have
speculative characteristics as well.
Ba
Bonds that are rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements;
their future cannot be considered as well assured. Often the
protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate
and thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over
the future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this
class.
B
Bonds that are rated B generally lack characteristics of the
desirable investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments
or of maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long
period of time may be small.
Caa
Bonds that are rated Caa are of poor standing. These issues may be
in default or present elements of danger may exist with respect to
principal or interest.
Ca
Bonds that are rated Ca represent obligations that are speculative
in a high degree. These issues are often in default or have other
marked short-comings.
C
Bonds that are rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds, and
issues so rated can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects
of ever attaining any real investment standing.
Moody's Ratings for Municipal Notes
Moody's ratings for state and municipal notes and other short-term
loans are designated Moody's Investment Grade (MIG) and for variable
rate demand obligations are designated Variable Moody's Investment
Grade (VMIG). This distinction is in recognition of the differences
between short- and long-term credit risk. Loans bearing the
designation MIG 1 or VMIG 1 are of the best quality, enjoying strong
protection by established cash flows of funds for their servicing,
from established and broad-based access to the market for
refinancing, or both. Loans bearing the designation MIG 2 or VMIG
2 are of high quality, with margins of protection ample although not
as large as the preceding group. Loans bearing the designation MIG
3 or VMIG 3 are of favorable quality, with all security elements
accounted for but lacking the undeniable strength of the preceding
grades. Liquidity and cash flow may be narrow and market access for
refinancing is likely to be less well established.
Description of S&P A-1+ and A-1 Commercial Paper Rating
The rating A-1+ is the highest, and A-1 the second highest,
commercial paper rating assigned by S&P. Paper rated A-1+ must have
either the direct credit support of an issuer or guarantor that
possesses excellent long-term operating and financial strengths
combined with strong liquidity characteristics (typically, such
issuers or guarantors would display credit quality characteristics
which would warrant a senior bond rating of "AA-'' or higher), or
the direct credit support of an issuer or guarantor that possesses
above-average long-term fundamental operating and financing
capabilities combined with ongoing excellent liquidity
characteristics. Paper rated A-1 by S&P has the following
characteristics: liquidity ratios are adequate to meet cash
requirements; long-term senior debt is rated "A'' or better; the
issuer has access to at least two additional channels of borrowing;
basic earnings and cash flow have an upward trend with allowance
made for unusual circumstances; typically, the issuer's industry is
well established and the issuer has a strong position within the
industry; and the reliability and quality of management are
unquestioned.
Description of Moody's Prime-1 Commercial Paper Rating
The rating Prime-1 is the highest commercial paper rating assigned
by Moody's. Among the factors considered by Moody's in assigning
ratings are the following: (1) evaluation of the management of the
issuer; (2) economic evaluation of the issuer's industry or
industries and an appraisal of speculative-type risks which may be
inherent in certain areas; (3) evaluation of the issuer's products
in relation to competition and customer acceptance; (4) liquidity;
(5) amount and quality of long-term debt; (6) trend of earnings over
a period of ten years; (7) financial strength of a parent company
and the relationships which exist with the issuer; and (8)
recognition by the management of obligations which may be present or
may arise as a result of public interest questions and preparations
to meet such obligations.
