Smith Barney Special Equities Fund
- ----------------------------------

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide you with the semi-annual report for the Smith Barney
Special Equities Fund for the period ended June 30, 1996. In this report, we
have summarized the period's prevailing economic and market conditions. In
addition, a detailed summary of performance and current holdings can be found in
the appropriate sections that follow in the semi-annual report.

Market and Economic Overview

The first six months of 1996 was characterized by a choppy market, peaking in
February and essentially trading sideways through June. As we entered 1996, the
outlook from many investment professionals was less-than-enthusiastic after the
equity market's stellar performance in 1995. For the most part, investors
constantly focused on changing perceptions of economic growth, fears of
accelerating inflation and rising interest rates. Consequently, as long bond
yields rose above the psychological 7% level in May, growth stocks, and
small-caps in particular, reacted somewhat negatively as investors became
skittish.

In the first few weeks of the year, the equity markets weakened on heightened
concerns over inflationary growth. The market quickly rebounded, setting record
highs in most major indices, as investor sentiment improved on
stronger-than-expected corporate profit growth. The markets continued to rally
in the second quarter, despite some signs of inflation as evidenced by strong
increases in newly created jobs, higher levels of consumer spending, and the
subsequent rise in long bond yields. The rally slowed in mid-May as a less
bullish outlook unfolded, due, in part, to some key reported earnings of
weaker-than-expected proportions coupled with fears of a Federal Reserve
interest rate hike. Despite this, major stock market averages managed to
register reasonable gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Standard &
Poor's 500-Stock Price Index finished the first half of 1996 up 10.50% and
10.09%, respectively. The NASDAQ Composite Index and the Russell 2000 Index rose
12.63% and 10.36%, respectively.

Both retail and technology stocks began to falter in May as retail sales
softened, owing to a slowing economy, and weakening semiconductor chip pricing
and order rates. The sell-off in technology stocks negatively impacted the
markets, especially the small-capitalization stock universe, as a "classic"
summer slowdown took hold. Small-capitalization stocks have underperformed
large-capitalization stocks for the better part of the first half of 1996. As
the year progresses, we expect to see a better relative performance from small
cap stocks than we have seen so far this year.

Fund's Performance and Investment Strategy

Because the Smith Barney Special Equities Fund invests in small, emerging growth
companies, its holdings are generally not affected by broad economic and market
conditions. However, the Fund slightly underperformed relative to market indices


                                                                               1

due to its high concentration in technology stocks, which declined sharply
between May and June in response to a slowing in overall personal computer
sales, declining product prices and softer earnings. The Special Equities Fund
(Class A shares) returned 8.05% for the six-month period ending June 30, 1996.
The annual 1-year total return for the Special Equities Fund was 48.04% for
Class A shares.

Despite the recent volatility in the small and mid-cap markets the Special
Equities Fund's strategy continues to be based on a long-term perspective. We do
not focus on short-term price fluctuations as long as the Fund believes the
company's fundamentals and growth can remain intact. We believe that the
small-cap universe offers the greatest potential return to long-term investors
over a full market cycle. In that regard, we remain committed to owning high
quality stocks capable of delivering reasonably stable, well-above average
growth over a multi-year period. After the first six months of 1996, the Special
Equities Fund's top-five holdings were: 

     o Starbucks Corp., a specialty coffee roaster and retailer
     o Callaway Golf Company, a high-quality golf club designer and manufacturer
     o Shiva Corp., a developer of remote access networking products
     o Boston Chicken, a retail food franchise specializing in homestyle meals
     o Ascend Communications, a company that develops network access products

Outlook

For the balance of the year, we expect some choppiness in small-capitalization
stocks, reflecting a continued focus on earnings. However, we remain optimistic
about the prospects for continued strength in small-cap stocks over the next
several years.

Although select recent data suggests that the U.S. economy is growing at a rapid
pace, we believe that growth will moderate, interest rates will likely decline
and inflation will remain contained. Given all of these factors, we expect
earnings growth for large-capitalization companies to slow, and earnings growth
for small-cap companies should, on a relative basis, outperform gains registered
by larger companies.

In closing we would like to thank you for your investment in the Smith Barney
Special Equities Fund. We look forward to continuing to help you achieve your
financial goals.


Sincerely,

/s/Heath B. McLendon                 /s/George V. Novello

     year from initial purchase and declines thereafter by 1.00% per year until
     no CDSCis incurred. Class C shares reflect the deduction of a 1.00% CDSC,
     which applies if shares are redeemed within the first year of purchase.

+    Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class B shares on June 30,
     1986, assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, at net
     asset value through June 30, 1996. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index is
     composed of widely held common stocks listed on the New York Stock
     Exchange, American Stock Exchange and the over-the-counter market. Figures
     for the index include reinvestment of dividends. The index is unmanaged and
     is not subject to the same management and trading expenses as a mutual
     fund. The performance of the Fund's other classes may be greater or less
     than the Class B shares' performance indicated on this chart, depending on
     whether greater or lesser sales charges and fees were incurred by
     shareholders investing in the other classes.

     All figures represent past performance and are not a guarantee of future
     results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and
     redemption value may be more or less than the original cost. No adjustment
     has been made for shareholder tax liability on dividends or capital gains.

are: (a) security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) securities
traded on national securities markets are valued at the closing price on such
markets; securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities
for which no sales price were reported are valued at the bid price, or in the
absence of a recent bid price, at the bid equivalent obtained from one or more
of the major market makers; securities that have a maturity of more than 60 days
are valued at prices based on market quotations for securities of similar type,
yield and maturity; (c) securities maturing within 60 days are valued at cost
plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which approximates market
value; (d) dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date and interest income
is recorded on the accrual basis; (e) dividends and distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date; (f) gains or losses on the
sale of securities are calculated using the specific identification method; (g)
direct expenses are charged to each portfolio and each class; management fees
and general portfolio expenses are allocated on the basis of relative net
assets; (h) the Portfolio intends to comply with the applicable provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, pertaining to regulated
investment companies and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to
relieve it from substantially all Federal income and excise taxes; (i) the
character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. At December 31, 1995, reclassifications were made to the Portfolio's
capital accounts to reflect permanent book/tax differences and income and gains
available for distributions under income tax regulations. Net investment income,
net realized gains and net assets were not affected by this change; and (j)
estimates and assumptions are required to be made regarding assets, liabilities
and changes in net assets resulting from operations when financial statements
are prepared. Changes in economic environment, financial markets and any other
parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to
differ.

     2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT, ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT AND OTHER
        TRANSACTIONS

     Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("SBMFM"), a subsidiary of Smith
Barney Holdings Inc. ("SBH"), acts as investment advisor to the Fund. The
Portfolio pays SBMFM an investment advisory fee calculated at an annual rate of
0.55% of the average daily net assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid
monthly.

     SBMFM also acts as the Fund's administrator for which the Portfolio pays a
fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets. This
fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.

     Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), another subsidiary of SBH, acts as distributor of
Fund shares and primary broker for its portfolio agency transactions. For the
six months ended June 30, 1996, SB received brokerage commissions of $4,500 and
sales charges of approximately $1.4 million on sales of the Portfolio's Class A
shares.

     There is a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 5.00% on Class B
shares, which applies if redemption occurs less than one year from initial
purchase and declines thereafter by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred.
Class C shares have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within the
first year of purchase. In addition, Class A shares, in certain instances, also
have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within the first year of
purchase. This CDSC only applies to those purchases of Class A shares, which
when combined with current holdings of Class A shares, equal or exceed $500,000
in the aggregate. These purchases do not incur an initial sales charge. For the
six months ended June 30, 1996, CDSCs paid to SB were approximately:

                                         Class A       Class B         Class C
================================================================================
CDSCs                                    $20,000       $162,000         $6,000
================================================================================

     Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Portfolio pays a service fee with
respect to its Class A, B and C shares calculated at an annual rate of 0.25% of
the average daily net assets of each respective class. The Portfolio also pays a
distribution fee 


                                                                              15

================================================================================

     4. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

     The Portfolio purchases (and its custodian takes possession of) U.S.
Government securities from banks and securities dealers subject to agreements to
resell the securities to the sellers at a future date (generally, the next
business day), at an agreed-upon higher repurchase price. The Portfolio requires
continual maintenance of the market value of the collateral in amounts at least
equal to the repurchase price.

     5. CAPITAL SHARES

     At June 30, 1996, the Fund had ten billion shares of capital stock
authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Portfolio has the ability
to issue multiple classes of shares. Each share of a class represents an
identical interest and has the same rights, except that each class bears certain
direct expenses, including those specifically related to the distribution of its
shares.

                     Smith Barney Growth Opportunity Fund

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide you with the semi-annual report for the Smith Barney
Growth Opportunity Fund for the period ended June 30, 1996. In this report, we
outline our investment philosophy and current portfolio strategy. A more
detailed summary of performance and current holdings can be found in the
appropriate sections that follow in the semi-annual report.

Fund Performance Update

For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Smith Barney Growth Opportunity Fund
had a total return of 7.69% for its Class A shares versus the 10.36% total
return from the Russell 2000 Index over the same time period. The Russell 2000
Index is an unmanaged index made up of 2,000 of the largest capitalized
U.S.-based companies whose common stock trade on either the New York, American
or NASDAQ stock exchanges.

Fund's Investment Approach

The Smith Barney Growth Opportunity Fund employs a varied and eclectic
investment approach that combines the philosophy of a Warren Buffett (who
currently owns roughly 30 stocks of outstanding companies) and a Peter Lynch
(who owned 1,500 stocks and believed the universe of investment opportunities is
more expansive). As of June 30, 1996, the Fund owns roughly 160 stocks spread
across a number of companies and industries and the size of its investment
universe lies somewhere in between Buffet's and Lynch's. Both of these renowned
investors said, "never time the market." Instead, Buffet and Lynch advise you to
look for good companies at good prices and own them for the long term.

The Smith Barney Growth Opportunity Fund does not make investment decisions
based on market timing or predictions about the market. The Fund takes an
opportunistic approach utilizing the strengths of different traditional
disciplines such as value, growth, large capitalization stock and small
capitalization stock investing. The Fund's investment management team is
comprised of long-term investors who emphasize strong, hands-on research. They
visit hundreds of companies each year and meet regularly with their management
to understand a company's business and industry, identify outstanding management
teams and target promising long-term investment opportunities. Because of our
eclectic investment approach, the Smith Barney Growth Opportunity Fund defies
easy categorization.


                                                                               1

Although we never predict the market, we still monitor market conditions closely
to look for warning signs that may lead us to make changes in the portfolio. For
example, if interest rates are going down, we invest in financial stocks because
the cost of money is their most important variable. If the economy is doing well
and interest rates are rising, we would invest in cyclical companies whose
fortunes are tied to the economy. Conversely, when interest rates are going
down, we would generally not invest in cyclical companies.

Another distinguishing feature of the Fund's investment approach is that it
looks for long-term investment opportunities based on themes versus how much is
invested in a particular sector such as technology or consumer goods. The Smith
Barney Growth Opportunity Fund invests in many companies where management owns a
significant amount of stock and tries to identify companies that may be
beneficiaries of a significant change in governmental regulations such as cable
companies or media companies.

Market Update and Outlook

Last year, we predicted that the U.S. economy would improve and that interest
rates would rise. At that time, our expectations were contrary to popular
belief. So far in 1996, interest rates are up and the U.S. economy is stronger,
just as we had earlier predicted. Because of our expectations for higher
interest rates and a stronger economy, we shifted the Fund's emphasis out of
financial services company stocks and into economically sensitive stocks such as
supermarkets.

We remain bullish on the market for the next six months. In our view, the most
important factor influencing the economy is interest rates. We do not foresee
interest rates rising additionally in the near future, since the second half of
the year may see the economy slowing. Moreover, historically, the stock market
has risen in every Presidential election year over the last 50 years.

Portfolio Update

During the period covered by this report, the Smith Barney Growth Opportunity
Fund's largest areas of exposure were:

     1)   Restructuring corporations (i.e., cyclical or industrial companies
          where there is the likelihood of a major corporate event taking place
          such as the sale of a division);

     2)   Companies that stand to benefit from an improving economy or higher
          inflation such as supermarkets and food service organizations;

     3)   Media industry stocks, as strong opportunities arise from government
          deregulation of the industry;

     4)   Companies where the management or employees carry a significant
          ownership stake.

In closing, thank you for investing in the Smith Barney Growth Opportunity Fund
and we look forward to continuing to help you achieve your financial goals.

Sincerely,

/s/ Heath B. McLendon                       /s/ Harvey Eisen

     any, at net asset value and does not reflect deduction of the applicable
     sales charges with respect to Class A shares or the applicable contingent
     deferred sales charges ("CDSC") with respect to Class B and C shares.

(2)  Assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if
     any, at net asset value. In addition, Class A shares reflect the deduction
     of the maximum initial sales charge of 5.00%; and Class B shares reflect
     the deduction of a 5.00% CDSC, which applies if shares are redeemed within
     one year from initial purchase and declines thereafter by 1.00% per year
     until no CDSC is incurred. Class C shares reflect the deduction of a 1.00%
     CDSC, which applies if shares are redeemed within the first year of
     purchase.

*    Inception date for Class A and B shares is July 3, 1995. Inception date for
     Class C shares is August 8, 1995.

+    Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class A shares on May 3,
     1994 (inception of Common Sense II Aggressive Opportunity Fund of the
     Common Sense Trust ("Common Sense") which was the predecessor Fund),
     assuming deduction of the maximum 5.00% sales charge at the time of
     investment and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, at net
     asset value through June 30, 1996. (Performance calculations include the
     historical return information related to Common Sense for the period from
     May 3, 1994 through June 30, 1995). The Russell 2000 Index is comprised of
     2,000 of the largest capitalized U.S. domiciled companies whose common
     stock is traded on either the New York, American or NASDAQ stock exchanges.
     The index is unmanaged and it is not subject to the same management and
     trading expenses as a mutual fund. The performance of the Fund's other
     classes may be greater or less than the Class A shares' performance
     indicated on this chart, depending on whether greater or lesser sales
     charges and fees were incurred by shareholders investing in other classes.

     All figures represent past performance and are not a guarantee of future
     results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and
     redemption value may be more or less than the original cost. No adjustment
     has been made for shareholder tax liability on dividends or capital gains.

     1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Smith Barney Growth Opportunity Fund ("Portfolio"), a separate
investment fund of the Smith Barney Investment Funds Inc. ("Fund"), a Maryland
corporation, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund consists of
the Portfolio and four other separate investment portfolios: Smith Barney
Investment Grade Bond Fund, Smith Barney Special Equities Fund, Smith Barney
Managed Growth Fund and Smith Barney Government Securities Fund. The financial
statements and financial highlights for the other portfolios are presented in
separate semi-annual reports.

     The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio
are: (a) security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) securities
traded on national securities markets are valued at the closing price on such
markets; securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities
for which no sales price were reported are valued at bid price, or in the
absence of a recent bid price, at the bid equivalent obtained from one or more
of the major market makers; (c) securities that have a maturity of more than 60
days are valued at prices based on market quotations for securities of similar
type, yield and maturity; (d) securities maturing within 60 days are valued at
cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which approximates
market value; (e) dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date and interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis; (f) dividends and distributions to
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date; (g) gains or losses on the
sale of securities are calculated using the specific identification method; (h)
the accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars
on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities and income and
expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date
that such transactions are recorded. Differences between income and expense
amounts recorded and collected or paid are adjusted when reported by the
custodian bank; (i) direct expenses are charged to each class; management fees
and general portfolio expenses are allocated on the basis of relative net
assets; (j) the Portfolio intends to comply with the applicable provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, pertaining to regulated
investment companies and to make distributions of taxable income 


                                                                              19

sufficient to relieve it from substantially all Federal income and excise taxes;
(k) the character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. At December 31, 1995, reclassifications are made to the
Fund's capital accounts to reflect permanent book/tax differences and income and
gains available for distributions under income tax regulations. Accordingly, a
portion of accumulated net investment income amounting to $6,146 has been
reclassified to paid-in capital. Net investment income, net realized gains and
net assets were not affected by this change; and (l) estimates and assumptions
are required to be made regarding assets, liabilities and changes in net assets
resulting from operations when financial statements are prepared. Changes in the
economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in
determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ.

     2.   MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

     Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("SBMFM"), a subsidiary of Smith
Barney Holdings Inc. ("SBH"), acts as investment manager of the Fund. The
Portfolio pays SBMFM a management fee calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% of
the average daily net assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.

     Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), another subsidiary of SBH, acts as distributor of
Fund shares and primary broker for its portfolio agency transactions. For the
six months ended June 30, 1996, SB received brokerage commissions of $8,640 and
sales charges of approximately $16,000 on sales of the Portfolio's Class A
shares.

     There is a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 5.00% on Class B
shares, which applies if redemption occurs less than one year from initial
purchase and declines thereafter by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred.
Class C shares have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within the
first year of purchase. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, CDSCs paid to SB
for Class B shares were approximately $1,000.

     Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Portfolio pays a service fee with
respect to Class A, B and C shares calculated at the annual rate of 0.25% of the
average daily net assets for each respective class. The Portfolio also pays a
service fee with respect to Class B and C shares calculated at the

     4.   REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

     The Portfolio purchases (and its custodian takes possession of) U.S.
Government securities from banks and securities dealers subject to agreements to
resell the securities to the sellers at a future date (generally, the next
business day), at an agreed-upon higher repurchase price. The Portfolio requires
continual maintenance of the market value of the collateral in amounts at least
equal to the repurchase price.

     5.   CAPITAL SHARES

     At June 30, 1996, the Fund had ten billion shares of capital stock
authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Portfolio has the ability
to issue multiple classes of shares. Each share of a class represents an
identical interest and has the same rights, except that each class bears certain
direct expenses, including those specifically related to the distribution of its
shares.



                                                                              21

                     Smith Barney Government Securities Fund

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide you with the semi-annual report for the Smith Barney
Government Securities Fund for the period ended June 30, 1996. In this report,
we summarize the period's prevailing economic and market conditions and outline
our portfolio strategy. A more detailed summary of performance can be found in
the appropriate sections that follow in the semi-annual report.


Fund Performance Update

For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Smith Barney Government Securities
Fund had a total return of -3.40% for Class A shares, which was slightly below
its Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. peer group average total return of -2.62%.
(Lipper is an independent fund tracking organization.) The Fund's reduced
exposure to mortgage-backed securities had a negative affect on performance
because these types of securities tend to perform better in a period of rising
interest rates. The Fund distributed dividends totaling $0.30 per share for
Class A shares over the past six months.


Market Update and Outlook

Since January 1996, volatility in the bond market has increased, and both short-
and long-term interest rates have risen. One of the main reasons why volatility
in the bond market has increased was greater-than-expected U.S. economic growth.
For example, economic data released by the U.S. government between February and
the end of May of this year has indicated strong U.S. economic growth as
evidenced by increased job creation and higher consumer spending. In addition,
new as well as existing home sales have also shown continued momentum, with the
Northeast region of the U.S. the newest region of the country to exhibit growth.

During the first half of 1996, the annual rate of inflation in the U.S. was
approximately 2.9% and economic activity, as measured by Gross Domestic Product
(GDP), grew at an annual rate of roughly 3.1%. Moreover, over the past six
months, retail sales were sporadically stronger and the annual rate of
unemployment in the U.S. held steady at 5.5%.

Increasing investor concerns about the possible re-emergence of inflation
resulting from higher U.S. economic growth has led to an increase in yields,
especially from U.S. Treasury securities with longer-term maturities. The chart
on the next page shows how yields have increased since our last report.

                                                                               1

Other factors that have worked to increase bond market volatility include
concerns surrounding Russia's recent national Presidential election, the ongoing
wait for the Federal Reserve Board to raise interest rates in the near term and
greater participation by trading-oriented investors attracted to recent market
opportunities.


Fund's Investment Strategy

Although there will continue to be some near-term bond market volatility as
investors sift through confusing U.S. economic data, we remain positive about
the bond market's long-term prospects. We expect the U.S. economy will weaken
modestly and inflation fears will disappear. Most investors should therefore
remain patient despite the bond market's recent volatility. In our view,
long-term U.S. Treasury yields at or above 7.00% represent good value and we
anticipate that yields from the 30-Year U.S. Treasury bond will decline and
eventually settle in the 6.25% to 6.50% range. Therefore, we have slowly become
more aggressive in the Smith Barney Government Securities Fund.

As interest rates rose, we reduced the Fund's weighting in mortgage-backed
securities and increased its positions in longer-maturity Treasury strips, which
are zero coupon bonds created by separating a Treasury bond's interest payments
from its principal amount due at maturity. While mortgage-backed securities
yielding 7% to 8% may seem attractive on the surface, because of our
expectations for lower interest rates, we believe these types of bonds will
underperform because of prepayment fears. In an environment of declining
interest rates, homeowners tend to prepay their mortgages, thus reducing the
value of mortgage-backed securities.

As we stated earlier, the Fund's reduced exposure in mortgage-backed securities
adversely affected its performance because these types of securities tend to
perform better in periods of rising interest rates. However, the Fund should
benefit from its lower weighting in mortgage-backed securities and higher
weighting in U.S. Treasuries if interest rates fall, which we expect in the
coming months.

any, at net asset value and does not reflect deduction of the applicable sales
charges with respect to Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred
sales charges ("CDSC") with respect to Class B and C shares.

(2) Assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if
any, at net asset value. In addition, Class A shares reflect the deduction of
the maximum initial sales charge of 4.50% and Class B shares reflect the
deduction of a 4.50% CDSC, which applies if shares are redeemed within one year
from initial purchase. This CDSC declines by 0.50% the first year after purchase
and thereafter by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred. Class C shares
reflect the deduction of a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if shares are redeemed
within the first year of purchase.

+    Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class B shares on June 30,
     1986, assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, at net
     asset value through June 30, 1996. The Lehman Brothers Government Bond
     Index is a broad-based index of all public debt obligations of the U.S.
     government and its agencies and has an average maturity of approximately
     nine years. The Lipper General U.S. Government Peer Group Average is
     composed of the Fund's peer group of 192 mutual funds investing in U.S.
     government securities as of June 30, 1996. The index is unmanaged and is
     not subject to the same management and trading expenses as a mutual fund.
     The performance of the Fund's other classes may be greater or less than the
     Class B shares' performance indicated on this chart, depending on whether
     greater or lesser sales charges and fees were incurred by shareholders
     investing in other classes.

     All figures represent past performance and are not a guarantee of future
     results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and
     redemption value may be more or less than the original cost. No adjustment
     has been made for shareholder tax liability on dividends or capital gains.

Mortgage-Backed Securities are debt securities by the U.S. Government agencies
such as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), Federal National
Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA).
They represent thousands of individual home mortgages that are pooled to form
securities. As homeowners pay interest and principal each month, these payments
are passed on to investors. Mortgage-backed securities are backed by the full
faith and credit of the issuing agency.

     1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Smith Barney Government Securities Fund ("Portfolio"), a separate
investment fund of the Smith Barney Investment Funds Inc. ("Fund"), a Maryland
corporation, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund consists of
the Portfolio and four other separate investment portfolios: Smith Barney
Investment Grade Bond Fund, Smith Barney Special Equities Fund, Smith Barney
Managed Growth Fund and Smith Barney Growth Opportunity Fund. The financial
statements and financial highlights for the other portfolios are presented in
separate semi-annual reports.

     The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio
are: (a) security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) securities
traded on national securities markets are valued at the closing price on such
markets; securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities
for which no sales price was reported and U.S. Government and Government Agency
obligations are valued at bid price, or in the absence of a recent bid price, at
the bid equivalent obtained from one or more of the major market makers; (c)
securities that have a maturity of more than 60 days are valued at prices based
on market quotations for securities of similar type, yield and maturity; (d)
securities maturing within 60 days are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or
minus amortized premium, as applicable; (e) dividend income is recorded on
ex-dividend date and interest income, adjusted for accretion of original issue
discount, is recorded on the accrual basis; (f) gains or losses on the sale of
securities are calculated using the specific identification method; (g)
dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
date; (h) direct expenses are charged to each portfolio and each class;
management fees and general portfolio expenses are allocated on the basis of the
relative net assets; (i) the Portfolio intends to comply with the applicable
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, pertaining to
regulated investment companies and to make distributions of taxable income
sufficient to relieve it from substantially all Federal income and excise taxes;
(j) the character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. At December 31, 1995, reclassifications are made to the
Fund's capital accounts to reflect permanent book/tax differences and income and
gains available for distributions under

14

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

income tax regulations. Accordingly, a portion of accumulated net realized
losses amounting to $391,564,060 has been reclassified to paid-in capital. Net
investment income, net realized gains and net assets were not affected by this
change; and (k) estimates and assumptions are required to be made regarding
assets, liabilities and changes in net assets resulting from operations when
financial statements are prepared. Changes in the economic environment,
financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates
could cause actual results to differ.

2.   INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT, ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT AND OTHER
     TRANSACTIONS

     Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("SBMFM"), a subsidiary of Smith
Barney Holdings Inc. ("SBH"), acts as investment adviser to the Fund. The
Portfolio pays SBMFM an advisory fee calculated at the following annual rates of
average daily net assets: 0.35% up to $2 billion, 0.30% of the next $2 billion,
0.25% of the next $2 billion, 0.20% of the next $2 billion and then 0.15% of the
remaining average daily net assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid
monthly.

     SBMFM acts as the Fund's administrator for which the Portfolio pays a fee
calculated at an annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets. This fee
is calculated daily and paid monthly.

     Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), another subsidiary of SBH, acts as distributor of
Fund shares. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, SB received sales charges
of approximately $40,000 on sales of the Portfolio's Class A shares.

     There is a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 4.50% on Class B
shares, which applies if redemption occurs less than one year from initial
purchase. This CDSC declines by 0.50% the first year after purchase and
thereafter by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred. Class C shares have a
1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within the first year of
purchase. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, CDSCs paid to SB for Class B
shares were approximately $181,000.

     Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Portfolio pays a service fee with
respect to Class A, B and C shares calculated at the annual rate of 0.25% of the
average daily net assets for each respective class. The Portfolio also pays a
distribution fee with respect to Class B and C 


                                                                              15

shares calculated at the annual rate of 0.50% and 0.45% of the average daily net
assets for each class, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 1996,
total Distribution Plan fees incurred were:

    All officers and one Director of the Fund are employees of SB.

    3. INVESTMENTS
    During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the aggregate cost of purchases
and proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities, but excluding
short-term securities) were as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                              <C>    
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchases                                                        $1,179,950,933
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sales                                                             1,201,699,026
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At June 30, 1996, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and
depreciation of investments for Federal income tax purposes were approximately
as follows:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gross unrealized appreciation                                       $11,236,579
Gross unrealized depreciation                                        (9,346,385)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net unrealized appreciation                                          $1,890,194
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

    4.  CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARD
    At December 31, 1995, the Portfolio had, for Federal tax purposes,
approximately $217,714,000 of unused capital loss carryforwards available to
offset future capital gains. To the extent that these carryforward losses are
used to offset capital gains, it is probable that the gains so offset will not
be distributed. The amount and expiration of the carryforwards are indicated
below. Expiration occurs on December 31 of the year indicated:

    5.  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
    The Portfolio purchases (and its custodian takes possession of) U.S.
Government securities from banks and securities dealers subject to agreements to
resell the securities to the sellers at a future date

(generally, the next business day) at an agreed-upon higher repurchase price.
The Portfolio requires continual maintenance of the market value of the
collateral in amounts at least equal to the repurchase price.

    6.  REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENT
    The Portfolio may enter into reverse repurchase agreement transactions for
leveraging purposes. A reverse repurchase agreement involves a sale by the
Portfolio of securities that it holds with an agreement by the Portfolio to
repurchase the same securities at an agreed upon price and date. A reverse
repurchase agreement involves the risk that the market value of the securities
sold by the Portfolio may decline below the repurchase price of the securities.
The Portfolio will establish a segregated account with its custodian, in which
the Portfolio will maintain cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid
high grade debt obligations equal in value to its obligations with respect to
reverse repurchase agreements.

    At June 30, 1996, the Portfolio had the following open reverse repurchase
agreements:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE> 

    Interest rates earned on reverse repurchase agreements ranged from 1.375% to
5.40% during the year. Total market value of the collateral for the reverse
repurchase agreement is $148,864,497.

    Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996 on borrowings by the
Portfolio under reverse repurchase agreements totalled $2,869,913.


                                                                              17

    7.  FUTURES CONTRACTS
    Initial margin deposits made upon entering into futures contracts are
recognized as assets. The initial margin is segregated by the custodian and is
noted in the schedule of investments. During the period the futures contract is
open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or
losses by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of
the contract at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are
made or received and recognized as assets due from or liabilities due to broker,
depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the
contract is closed, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the
difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transactions and
the Portfolio's basis in the contract. The Portfolio enters into such contracts
to hedge a portion of its portfolio. The Portfolio bears the market risk that
arises from changes in the value of the financial instruments and securities
indices (futures contracts) and the credit risk should a counterparty fail to
perform under such contracts.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
    At June 30, 1996, the Portfolio had the following open futures contracts:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

    8.  OPTIONS CONTRACTS
    Premiums paid when put or call options are purchased by the Portfolio
represent investments, which are marked-to-market daily. When a purchased option
expires, the Portfolio will realize a loss in the amount of the premium paid.
When the Portfolio enters into closing sales transaction, the Portfolio will
realize a gain or loss depending on whether the sales proceeds from the closing
sales transaction are greater or less than the premium paid for the option. When
the Portfolio exercises a put option, it will realize a gain or loss from the
sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale will be
decreased by the premium originally paid. When the Portfolio exercises a call
option, the cost of the security which the Portfolio purchases upon exercise
will be increased by the premium originally paid.


18
<PAGE>
 
Smith Barney Government Securities Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    When a Portfolio writes a covered call or put option, an amount equal to the
premium received by the Portfolio is recorded as a liability, the value of which
is marked-to-market daily. When a written option expires, the Portfolio realizes
a gain equal to the amount of the premium received. When the Portfolio enters
into a closing purchase transaction, the Portfolio realizes a gain (or loss if
the cost of the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when
the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the
underlying security, and the liability related to such option is eliminated.
When a call option is exercised the cost of the security sold will be reduced by
the premium originally received. When a put option is exercised, the amount of
the premium received will reduce the cost of the security which the Portfolio
purchased upon exercise. When written index options are exercised, settlement is
made in cash. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the
premium originally paid. The Portfolio enters into options for hedging
purchases. The risk in writing a call option is that the Portfolio gives up the
opportunity to participate in any increase in the price of the underlying
security beyond the exercise price. The risk in writing a put option is that the
Fund is exposed to the risk of a loss if the market price of the underlying
security declines.

    At June 30, 1996, the Portfolio had no open options contracts.

    9.   SECURITIES TRADED ON A WHEN-ISSUED OR
         TO-BE-ANNOUNCED BASIS

    The Portfolio may trade securities on a "to-be-announced" ("TBA") basis. In
a TBA transaction, the Portfolio commits to purchasing or selling securities for
which specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade,
particularly the face amount and maturity date. Securities purchased on a TBA
basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Portfolio, normally 15 to
45 days later. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and their
current value is determined in the same manner as for other portfolio
securities.

    As of June 30, 1996, the Portfolio held one TBA security with a cost of
$114,725,479.

    10. CAPITAL SHARES
    At June 30, 1996, the Fund had ten billion shares of capital stock
authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Portfolio has the

ability to issue multiple classes of shares. Each share of a class represents an
identical interest and has the same rights, except that each class bears certain
direct expenses, including those specifically related to the distribution of its
shares.

    At June 30, 1996, total paid-in capital amounted to the following for each
class:

Smith Barney Managed Growth Fund

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide you with the semi-annual report for the Smith Barney
Managed Growth Fund for the period ending June 30, 1996. For your convenience,
we have outlined the investment philosophy of the Fund and its current portfolio
strategy. A detailed summary of performance and current holdings for the Fund
can be found in the appropriate sections that follow in the semi-annual report.

Fund Performance Update 

For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Class A shares of the Smith Barney
Managed Growth Fund had a total return of 8.89% versus the 10.09% total return
from the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Price Index ("S&P 500"), a capitalization-
weighted measure of 500 widely held common stocks and a widely-used stock market
benchmark.

When the Smith Barney Managed Growth Fund commenced operations on June 30, 1995,
the stock market was reaching new highs and heading higher. At that time, it was
difficult for us to find solid companies which met our investment criteria and
were trading at or near their 52-week lows. Therefore, we retained a relatively
large cash position of 20% or higher through the balance of 1995. During 1996,
both volatility and sector rotation in the stock market have increased markedly,
especially since the beginning of July. This has created more buying
opportunities for the Fund. In response to these more favorable market
conditions, we have added several new positions and increased many of our
existing holdings. Cash reserves were reduced to approximately 9% of net assets
as of July 22, 1996.

Fund's Investment Approach 

We are contrarian investors by nature. We do not rely on technical analysis and
do not attempt to time the market. We apply a disciplined valuation process for
each company we analyze. Our primary consideration is the price of a company's
shares. Second, we look for companies with a good franchise or a sustainable
competitive advantage where it's unlikely competitors will make any inroads.
Whereas most value investors look for companies with low price/earnings ratios
(P/Es), the Smith Barney Managed Growth Fund employs other yardsticks such as
price-to-free cash flow, market-cap-to-sales, private market value or price-to-
book earnings in evaluating a company's comparative worth. These criteria are
generally more important considerations for us.

                                                                               1
 
We look to buy companies that, for one reason or another, have fallen out of
favor and are trading at or near their 52-week price lows. We favor companies
with good franchises or ones that generate a lot of free cash flow. Then we try
to look back where the downside price support protection has been historically
and where these companies have bottomed out in prior troughs. Our approach is to
evaluate companies as businesses as opposed to stock plays. Typically, our
turnover rate is lower than many other funds and we generally own a company for
at least two years.

In our view, many out-of-favor companies can offer upside potential without
undue risk. There are many good companies in the market whose stock prices have
been beaten down for no good reason. In addition, out-of-favor companies can
often provide some degree of downside protection. Although no one can predict
when a market downturn will occur, it has been our experience that many good
companies who have already experienced a significant decrease in their stock
price tend to hold up better in difficult markets.

The Smith Barney Managed Growth Fund employs a disciplined sell process. We
determine a specific target price for each company when we buy it. When a mature
company hits the specific price target, the holding is sold. However, for young
companies, we are generally more flexible due to their more dynamic, long-term
growth potential.

In our disciplined sell process, we also employ a "ten percent rule." We monitor
the performance of the last purchase of each company relative to the S&P 500. If
it underperforms the index by ten percent, it is time to reevaluate that company
and either sell its stock or buy more.

Portfolio Update 

In a period marked by increasing stock market volatility, the Smith Barney
Managed Growth Fund has generally performed satisfactorily. For example, from
March through the middle of May when interest rates began a significant move
upwards, the Fund outperformed the broad stock market averages primarily for two
reasons. One, the Fund had very little exposure to interest-rate sensitive
companies such as banks, electric utilities and insurance companies that
underperformed during this time. Second, the out-of-favor companies in cyclical
industries that the Fund bought aggressively last fall have generally performed
well.

However, from late June through the middle of July, smaller companies, which
currently comprise about 70% of the Smith Barney Managed Growth Fund, have begun
to underperform. (The average weighted market capitalization of a typical
company the Fund owns is $1 billion versus the $33 billion average weight market
capitalization of the companies that make up the S&P 500.) In our view, many
good smaller companies that have been adversely affected by speculation should
appreciate handsomely over time.

2
 
As we stated at the beginning of our letter, sector rotation in the stock market
has increased. Certain sectors such as technology and financial services that
were very difficult for us to buy when the Fund started last year have become
more attractive. Since the beginning of July, the Fund has purchased some select
companies in the health care sector and we have begun to look more closely at
new opportunities in the technology sector. In addition, we plan on adding more
interest-rate sensitive companies in the near term, assuming they meet our
strict investment criteria. The Fund has also recently sold some of its consumer
cyclical stocks as they reached our sell targets.

The Smith Barney Managed Growth Fund has benefited from several companies which
were taken over in the first half of 1996. For example, Helene Curtis, the first
company purchased by the Fund, was up 121% this year when it was acquired by
Unilever in March. Duracraft was up 73% when it was acquired by Honeywell, Inc.
in March. Quantum Heath Resources was up 66% this year when the Fund sold its
position in response to a tender offer from Olsten Corp. Lastly, Brenco Inc., a
company that makes tapered roller bearings for railroad cars, is currently in
the process of being acquired by Varlen and is up approximately 55%.

The following tables show the Smith Barney Managed Growth Fund's current sector
weightings and largest industry weightings as of July 22, 1996 versus the S&P
500 Stock Price Index.

Market Outlook

The recent volatility in the stock market has reminded many investors that
markets can go down as well as up. Although market turbulence has lately opened
up more investment opportunities for the Fund, we remain committed to our
disciplined, contrarian approach to investing. We will therefore not attempt to
forecast where the market may be heading. The most we can say about the future
is that it will provide us with new investment opportunities.

In closing,  thank you for investing in the Smith Barney Managed Growth Fund. We
look forward to continuing to help you achieve your financial goals.


Sincerely,


/s/ Heath B. McLendon              /s/ Douglas Johnson

+    Hypothetical  illustration  of  $10,000  invested  in  Class  A  shares  at
     inception on June 30, 1995,  assuming  deduction of the maximum 5.00% sales
     charge at the time of investment and  reinvestment of dividends and capital
     gains,  if any, at net asset value  through June 30,  1996.  The Standard &
     Poor's 500 Index is composed of widely held common stocks listed on the New
     York Stock Exchange,  American Stock Exchange and over-the-counter  market.
     Figures  for the index  include  reinvestment  of  dividends.  The index is
     unmanaged and it is not subject to the same management and trading expenses
     of a mutual  fund.  The  performance  of the Fund's  other  classes  may be
     greater  or less  than the Class A shares'  performance  indicated  on this
     chart,  depending on whether  greater or lesser sales charges and fees were
     incurred by shareholders investing in other classes.

     All figures  represent past  performance  and are not a guarantee of future
     results.  Investment  returns  and  principal  value  will  fluctuate,  and
     redemption  value may be more or less than the original cost. No adjustment
     has been made for shareholder tax liability on dividends or capital gains.

     1. Significant Accounting Policies

     The Smith Barney Managed Growth Fund  ("Portfolio"),  a separate investment
fund of the Smith Barney Investment Funds Inc. ("Fund"), a Maryland corporation,
is  registered  under the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940,  as  amended,  as a
diversified,  open-end management  investment company.  The Fund consists of the
Portfolio and four other separate investment portfolios: Smith Barney Government
Securities Fund,  Smith Barney Special  Equities Fund,  Smith Barney  Investment
Grade  Bond  Fund and  Smith  Barney  Growth  Opportunity  Fund.  The  financial
statements and financial  highlights  for the other  portfolios are presented in
separate semi-annual reports. 

     The significant  accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio
are: (a) security  transactions  are accounted for on trade date; (b) securities
traded on national  securities  markets are valued at the closing  price on such
markets;  securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities
for which no sales  price  were  reported  are  valued at bid  price,  or in the
absence of a recent bid price,  at the bid equivalent  obtained from one or more
of the major market makers;  (c) securities that have a maturity of more than 60
days are valued at prices based on market  quotations  for securities of similar
type, yield and maturity;  (d) securities  maturing within 60 days are valued at
cost plus accreted  discount,  or minus amortized  premium,  as applicable;  (e)
dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend  date and interest income is recorded
on the  accrual  basis;  (f)  gains  or  losses  on the sale of  securities  are
calculated  using the specific  identification  method;  (g) direct expenses are
charged to each portfolio and each class;  management fees and general portfolio
expenses are  allocated on the basis of relative net assets;  (h)  dividends and
distributions  to  shareholders  are recorded on the  ex-dividend  date; (i) the
Portfolio  intends to comply  with the  applicable  provisions  of the  Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,  pertaining to regulated  investment companies
and to make  distributions  of  taxable  income  sufficient  to  relieve it from
substantially  all Federal income and excise taxes;  (j) the character of income
and gains to be  distributed  are  determined  in  accordance  with  income  tax
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting  principles.  At
December  31,  1995,  reclassifications  were  made to the  Portfolio's  capital
accounts  to  reflect  permanent  book/tax  differences  and  income  and  gains
available for distributions under income tax regulations. Net investment income,
net  realized  gains and net assets were not  affected by this  change;  and (k)
estimates and assumptions are required to be made regarding assets,  liabilities
and changes in net assets

                                                                              19

resulting from operations when financial statements are prepared. Changes in the
economic  environment,  financial  markets  and  any  other  parameters  used in
determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ.

     2. Management  Agreement and Other  Transactions  

     Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("SBMFM"), a subsidiary of Smith
Barney Holdings Inc. ("SBH"), acts as investment manager to the Fund. The
Portfolio pays SBMFM a management fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.85% of
the average daily net assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.

     Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), another subsidiary of SBH, acts as distributor of
Fund shares and primary broker for its portfolio  agency  transactions.  For the
six months ended June 30, 1996 SB received brokerage  commissions of $96,282 and
sales charges of approximately  $1.2 million on sales of the Portfolio's Class A
shares.

     There is a contingent  deferred  sales charge  ("CDSC") of 5.00% on Class B
shares, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from initial purchase
and declines  thereafter  by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is  incurred.  Class C
shares have a 1.00% CDSC,  which applies if  redemption  occurs within the first
year of purchase.  In addition,  Class A shares,  in certain  instances,  have a
1.00%  CDSC,  which  applies  if  redemption  occurs  within  the first  year of
purchase.  This CDSC only applies to those  purchases  of Class A shares,  which
when combined with current holdings of Class A shares,  equal or exceed $500,000
in the aggregate. These purchases do not incur an initial sales charge.

     For the six months ended June 30, 1996, CDSCs paid to SB were:

                                             Class A     Class B     Class C
================================================================================
CDSCs                                        $10,000     $488,000    $16,000

     Pursuant to a  Distribution  Plan,  the  Portfolio  pays a service fee with
respect to Class A, B and C shares calculated at the annual rate of 0.25% of the
average daily net assets for each  respective  class.  The Portfolio also pays a
distribution  fee with respect to Class B and C shares  calculated at the annual
rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of each class,  respectively.  For
the six months ended June 30, 1996, total Distribution Plan fees incurred were:


                                             Class A     Class B     Class C
================================================================================
Distribution Plan Fees                       $264,296   $1,865,298   $235,851 

     All officers and one Director of the Fund are employees of SB.

     3. Investments

     During the six months ended June 30, 1996,  the aggregate cost of purchases
and proceeds  from sales of  investments  (including  maturities,  but excluding
short-term securities) were as follows: 

================================================================================
Purchases                                                         $271,587,275 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sales                                                              103,125,031

     At June 30, 1996, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and
depreciation of investments for Federal income tax purposes were approximately
as follows:

================================================================================
Gross unrealized appreciation                                      $51,178,935 
Gross unrealized depreciation                                      (25,485,546)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net unrealized appreciation                                        $25,693,389

     4. Capital Loss Carryforward

     At December  31,  1995,  the  Portfolio  had,  for  Federal  tax  purposes,
approximately  $10,877,000  of unused  capital loss  carryforwards  available to
offset future capital gains through  December 31, 2003. To the extent that these
carryforward  losses are used to offset capital  gains,  it is probable that the
gains so offset will not be distributed.

     5. Repurchase Agreements

     The  Portfolio  purchases  (and its  custodian  takes  possession  of) U.S.
Government securities from banks and securities dealers subject to agreements to
resell the  securities  to the  sellers at a future  date  (generally,  the next
business day), at an agreed-upon higher repurchase price. The Portfolio requires
continual  maintenance of the market value of the collateral in amounts at least
equal to the repurchase price.

     6. Capital Shares

     At June  30,  1996,  the Fund  had ten  billion  shares  of  capital  stock
authorized  with a par value of $0.001 per share.  The Portfolio has the ability
to issue  multiple  classes  of  shares.  Each  share of a class  represents  an
identical interest and has the same rights, except that each class bears certain
direct expenses, including those specifically related to the distribution of its
shares.

                                                                              21

Smith Barney Investment Grade Bond Fund
- ---------------------------------------

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide you with the semi-annual report for the Smith Barney
Investment Grade Bond Fund for the period ended June 30, 1996. In this report,
we have summarized the period's prevailing economic and market conditions. In
addition, a more detailed summary of the Fund's performance and current holdings
can be found in the appropriate sections that follow in the semi-annual report.

Market and Economic Overview

The past year has seen a turnaround in the U.S. economy. The period from June
1995 through January 1996 was characterized by low inflation, somewhat weaker
economic growth and a strong rally in the bond market. All signs pointed to a
weaker economy, which is generally positive for the bond market, and there was a
general consensus that the Federal Reserve would probably lower interest rates.
However, economic data released by the U.S. government in late February and
early March indicated that the U.S. economy was growing at a stronger rate than
previously expected. The strength in the U.S. economy became even more apparent
as the end of the second quarter drew to a close, with the most recent
employment report released by the U.S. Government indicating that non-farm
payrolls rose by 239,000 in June after having risen 365,000 in May. Moreover,
the report showed that the unemployment rate fell to 5.3% in June, the lowest
level since 1990. As a result of the increased number of newly created jobs,
consumer spending also rose, posting annualized growth rates of more than 3% in
the first two quarters of 1996. With stronger-than-expected real growth in the
U.S. economy, the Federal Reserve Board shifted its monetary policy from the
accommodative stance taken in 1995 to a neutral policy in the first half of
1996. Indeed, at the present time there is a growing consensus that the Federal
Reserve Board will ultimately raise short-term interest rates in an effort to
moderate the rate of economic growth.

The strength in the U.S. economy has heightened concerns over inflation, which
had a negative impact on the fixed-income markets during the first half of 1996.
The yield on the 30-year U.S. Government bond rose 100 basis points (1%), from
6% at the end of 1995, to approximately 7% at the end of June 1996. The fear of
the possible reemergence of inflation continues to hang over the bond market.
Pessimists point out that expected increases in hourly wages will immediately
cause higher prices at both the wholesale and retail levels.

                                                                               1
<PAGE>

We strongly disagree with this viewpoint for the following reasons:

     o Real wages have actually been declining over the past several years,
       and therefore any U.S. economic rebound does not necessarily mean that
       wages will rise.

     o Corporations remain constrained by global competitive forces and are
       therefore unwilling or simply unable to pass along substantial price
       increases to consumers.

     o Technological advances continue in virtually all industries. Because
       of that trend, labor, in our view, will continue to become a smaller
       fraction of the cost of production.

     o The Federal Reserve Board has established an impressive track record
       in recent years in keeping inflation contained.

     o Lastly, efforts to reduce the U.S. budget deficits have helped to
       encourage flows into the U.S. capital markets.

Fund Performance and Outlook

As we previously stated, we believe that current inflationary fears are
unjustified and that U.S. economic growth will moderate later this year. Despite
the volatility in the bond market over the past six months, the Investment Grade
Bond Fund has stayed true to its investment strategy. We continue to remain
bullish on the long-term prospects for bonds, and believe that interest rates
will decline as they have done over the past decade. The Fund continues to
invest almost exclusively in corporate bonds and has remained broadly
diversified across many sectors. During the period covered by this report, the
Fund's average weighted maturity has remained consistent at 33 years. The
Investment Grade Bond Fund generated a six-month return of -7.49% for the period
ended June 30, 1996, underperforming its peer group average return of -2.32%, as
reported by Lipper Analytical Services Inc., a major fund tracking organization.
Because approximately two-thirds of the Investment Grade Bond Fund's portfolio
is invested in lower-rated investment grade bonds (BBB/Baa and A), and maintains
a long maturity structure, the Fund is more sensitive to interest rate
fluctuations and market volatility than other corporate-bond funds. Therefore
the Smith Barney Investment Grade Bond Fund may underperform relative to other
investment grade bond funds during periods of market declines, such as the past
six months. However, it is important to point out that due to our bullish stance
on interest rates, and the Fund's diversification across issues, industries and
maturities, the Investment Grade Bond Fund has performed well for investors over
the long-term. This is evidenced by the Fund's total return of 35.29% in 1995,
and its 3-year annual rate of return of 6.25% versus its Lipper peer group
average return of 4.50% for the same 3-year time period.

(1)  Assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if
     any, at net asset value and does not reflect the deduction of the
     applicable sales charge with respect to Class A shares or the applicable
     contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC") with respect to Class B and C
     shares.
(2)  Assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if
     any, at net asset value. In addition, Class A shares reflect the deduction
     of the maximum initial sales charge of 4.50% and Class B shares reflect the
     deduction of a 4.50% CDSC, which applies if shares are redeemed within one
     year from initial purchase. This CDSCdeclines by 0.50% the first year after
     purchase and thereafter by 1.00% per year until no CDSCis incurred. Class C
     shares reflect the deduction of a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if shares are
     redeemed within the first year of purchase.
*    Inception dates for Class A, B, C and Y shares are November 6, 1992,
     January 4, 1982, February 26, 1993 and February 7, 1996, respectively.

+    Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class B shares on June 30,
     1986, assuming reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, at net
     asset value through June 30, 1996. The Lehman Brothers Long-Term Corporate
     Bond Index is comprised of all publicly issued, fixed rate,
     non-convertible, dollar-denominated investment-grade corporate debt from a
     diverse range of industries with an average maturity of approximately 23
     years. The index is unmanaged and is not subject to the same management and
     trading expenses as a mutual fund. The Lipper Corporate Debt A-Rated
     Average is composed of the Fund's peer group of 122 mutual funds as of June
     30, 1996. The performance of the Fund's other classes may be greater or
     less than the Class B shares' performance indicated on this chart,
     depending on whether greater or lesser sales charges and fees were incurred
     by shareholders investing in the other classes.

     All figures represent past performance and are not a guarantee of future
     results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and
     redemption value may be more or less than the original cost. No adjustment
     has been made for shareholder tax liability on dividends or capital gains.

Bond Ratings
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All ratings are by Standard & Poor's Corporation ("Standard &Poor's"), except
those identified by an asterisk (*) are rated by Moody's Investors Services
("Moody's"). The definitions of the applicable rating symbols are set forth
below:

Standard & Poor's -- Ratings from "AA" to "BBB" may be modified by the addition
of a plus (+) or a minus (-) sign to show relative standings within the major
rating categories.

AAA     --Debt rated "AAA"' has the highest rating assigned by Standard &
          Poor's. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely
          strong.

AA      --Debt rated "AA" has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
          principal and differs from the highest rated issue only in small
          degree.

A       --Debt rated "A" has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay
          principal although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse
          effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt
          in higher rated categories.

BBB     --Debt rated "BBB" is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
          interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate
          protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
          circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay
          interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in higher
          rated categories.

BB, B   --Debt rated "BB" and "B" is regarded, on balance, as predominantly   
and CCC   speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay      
          principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. BB        
          represents a lower degree of speculation than B, and CCC the highest
          degree of speculation. While such debt will likely have some quality
          and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large       
          uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse conditions.        

Moody's --Numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 may be applied to each generic
          rating from "Aa" to "Baa," where 1 is the highest and 3 the lowest
          rating within its generic category.

Aaa     --Bonds that are rated "Aaa" are judged to be of the best quality.
          They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally
          referred to as "gilt 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 some time 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.

NR      --Indicates that the bond is not rated by Standard & Poor's or Moody's.

                                                                              11

Smith Barney Investment Grade Bond Fund

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Smith Barney Investment Grade Bond Fund ("Portfolio"), a separate
investment fund of the Smith Barney Investment Funds Inc. ("Fund"), a Maryland
corporation, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund consists of
the Portfolio and four other separate investment portfolios: Smith Barney
Government Securities Fund, Smith Barney Special Equities Fund, Smith Barney
Managed Growth Fund, and Smith Barney Growth Opportunity Fund. The financial
statements and financial highlights for the other portfolios are presented in
separate semi-annual reports.

     The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio
are: (a) security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) securities
traded on national securities markets are valued at the closing price on such
markets; securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities
for which no sales price were reported are valued at bid price, or in the
absence of a recent bid price, at the bid equivalent obtained from one or more
of the major market makers; (c) securities that have a maturity of more than 60
days are valued at prices based on market quotations for securities of similar
type, yield and maturity; (d) securities maturing within 60 days are valued at
cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, as applicable; (e)
dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded
on the accrual basis; (f) gains or losses on the sale of securities are
calculated using the specific identification method; (g) dividends and
distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date; (h) direct
expenses are charged to each portfolio and each class; management fees and
general portfolio expenses are allocated on the basis of relative net assets;
(i) the Portfolio intends to comply with the applicable provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, pertaining to regulated investment
companies and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it
from substantially all Federal income and excise taxes; and (j) estimates and
assumptions are required to be made regarding assets, liabilities and changes in
net assets resulting from operations when financial statements are prepared.
Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters
used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ.

     2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT, ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT
        AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

     Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("SBMFM"), a subsidiary of Smith
Barney Holdings Inc. ("SBH"), acts as investment adviser to the Fund. The


                                                                              15
<PAGE>

Smith Barney Investment Grade Bond Fund

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Portfolio pays SBMFM an advisory fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.45% of
the average daily net assets up to $500 million and 0.42% of the average daily
net assets thereafter. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.

     SBMFM also acts as the Fund's administrator for which the Portfolio pays a
fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets up to
$500 million and 0.18% of the average daily net assets thereafter. This fee is
calculated daily and paid monthly.

     Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), another subsidiary of SBH, acts as distributor of
Fund shares. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, SB received sales charges
of approximately $129,000 on sales of the Portfolio's Class A shares.

     There is a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 4.50% on Class B
shares, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from initial
purchase. This CDSC declines by 0.50% the first year after purchase and
thereafter by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred. Class C shares have a
1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within the first year of
purchase. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, CDSCs paid to SB were
approximately:

                                                       Class B           Class C
================================================================================
CDSCs                                                  $217,000           $1,000
================================================================================

     Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Portfolio pays a service fee with
respect to Class A, B and C shares calculated at the annual rate of 0.25% of the
average daily net assets for each respective class. The Portfolio also pays a
distribution fee with respect to Class B and C shares calculated at the annual
rate of 0.50% and 0.45% of the average daily net assets for each class,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, total Distribution Plan
fees incurred were:

                                         Class A         Class B         Class C
================================================================================
Distribution Plan Fees                   $264,114       $1,004,720       $17,292
================================================================================

     All officers and one Director of the Fund are employees of SB.

Government securities from banks and securities dealers subject to agreements to
resell the securities to the sellers at a future date (generally, the next
business day), at an agreed-upon higher repurchase price. The Portfolio requires
continual maintenance of the market value of the collateral in amounts at least
equal to the repurchase price.

     5. CAPITAL SHARES

     At June 30, 1996, the Fund had ten billion shares of capital stock
authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Portfolio has the ability
to issue multiple classes of shares. Each share of a class represents an
identical interest and has the same rights, except that each class bears certain
direct expenses, including those specifically related to the distribution of its
shares.

     At June 30, 1996, total paid-in capital amounted to the following for each
class:

                            Class A        Class B         Class C      Class Y
