             DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
G 
L    We are pleased to provide you with the Semi-Annual Report, which includes 
O    the portfolio of investments for Smith Barney Global Opportunities Fund 
B    for the six months ended October 31, 1994. During the past six months, the
A    Fund's total return for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D shares was 
L    3.77%, 3.34%, 4.00% and 3.68%, respectively.

O 
P    PORTFOLIO STRATEGY
P 
O    The Fund's assets are invested in the equity markets of 21 countries, 
R    which is consistent with our focus of broad market diversification. These 
T    investments are concentrated in sectors that we believe will perform well 
U    in the current stage of the economic cycle, such as retailing, 
N    construction and construction materials, telecommunications and equipment 
I    suppliers, and consumer nondurables. In general, we have targeted those 
T    companies with the potential for high, dependable earnings growth rates 
I    that are often expected to be around 25-30% higher than the average of 
E    their local markets.
S    
     Since the end of June, we have been lowering the Portfolio's weightings 
F    in the United States (to 6.5% from 19.6%) and Japan (to 23.0% from 25.6%), 
U    and raising the weightings in countries where we see greater long-term 
N    growth, such as Finland, Ireland, Austria and the Philippines. As of 
D    October 31, 1994, our Top Ten holdings were Allgon; Nokia; Frazier & 
     Neave; Independent Insurance Group; (L.M.) Ericsson Telephone Company; 
Itochu Corporation; Hitachi, Ltd.; Rohm Company; Mitsubishi Estate and Volvo.
 
We continue to be optimistic about the fundamentals of the Pacific Basin outside
of Japan. Lower cost labor forces have led to continuing industrialization and  
prosperity, with a growing middle class and a tremendous need for the
development of infrastructure. As of October 31, 1994, approximately 18% of the
Portfolio's assets were allocated to the Pacific Basin with the exception of
Japan.
 
We increased our exposure to Latin America, to 4.6% from 3%, and left our       
overall weighting in Europe at about the same level (approximately 40%).
 
ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
 
After three years of recession, many European economies are no longer in decline
and are beginning to show signs of modest improvement. In general, the European
economic cycle is lagging that of the United States by about 18 months to two
years; with a number of similarities: There has been a large scale inflow of
funds
 
                                        1

into equity markets, as investors look for alternatives to low interest-bearing
money market funds. In addition, corporate restructuring and cost reduction
programs have been common in many companies where profitability has deteriorated
over the past several years. Over the next few years, we believe that the
effects of these restructurings will begin to show up in earnings as the overall
economy continues to turn upward.
 
Sincerely,

/S/ Heath B. McLendon     /S/ Jeffrey J. Russell   /S/ James B. Conheady

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Smith Barney Global Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") (formerly Smith Barney
Shearson Global Opportunities Fund) was organized under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts on February 10, 1984, as a "Massachusetts business
trust." The Fund is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund commenced
operations on July 26, 1984. As of November 6, 1992, the Fund offered three
classes of shares: Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares. Class A
shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. Class B shares may be subject to
a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"). Class B shares will automatically
convert to Class A shares eight years after the date of original purchase. Class
C shares are offered exclusively to tax-exempt employee benefit and retirement
plans of Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney") and certain unit investment trusts
sponsored by Smith Barney and its affiliates. As of January 29, 1993, the Fund
offered a fourth class of shares (Class D shares) to investors that are eligible
to participate in the Smith Barney 401(k) Program. Class C and Class D shares
are offered without a front-end sales load or a CDSC. All classes of shares have
identical rights and privileges except with respect to the effect of the
respective sales charges, the distribution and/or service fees borne by each
class, expenses allocable exclusively to each class, voting rights on matters
affecting a single class, the exchange privilege of each class and the
conversion feature of Class B shares. The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its
financial statements.
 
Portfolio valuation: Securities which are traded primarily on a domestic
exchange are valued at the last sale price on that exchange or, if there is no
recent sale, at the last current bid quotation. Portfolio securities which are
traded primarily on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the
preceding closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges,
except when an occurrence subsequent to the time that a value was so established
is likely to have changed such value, then the fair value of those securities
will be determined by consideration of other factors by or under the direction
of the Board of Trustees or its delegates. A security which is listed or traded
on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined
to be the primary market for such security. All other securities not so traded
are valued at the last current bid
 
                                       21

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
quotation if market quotations are available. Other securities, including
restricted securities, and other assets are valued at fair value as determined
in accordance with policies established in good faith by the Board of Trustees.
Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized
cost when the Board of Trustees determines that such method of valuation
reflects fair value of those investments.
 
Repurchase agreements: The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions.
Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Fund takes possession of
an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to
repurchase, and the Fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and
time, thereby determining the yield during the Fund's holding period. This
arrangement results in a fixed rate of return that is not subject to market
fluctuations during the Fund's holding period. The value of the collateral is at
least equal at all times to the total amount of the repurchase obligations,
including interest. In the event of counterparty default, the Fund has the right
to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is potential loss to the
Fund in the event the Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to
dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline
in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks
to assert its rights. The Fund's investment adviser or administrator, acting
under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, reviews the value of the
collateral and the creditworthiness of those banks and dealers with which the
Fund enters into repurchase agreements to evaluate potential risks.
 
Forward foreign currency contracts: Forward foreign currency contracts are
valued at the forward rate and are marked-to-market daily. The change in market
value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract
is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference
between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the
time it was closed.
 
The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in
the underlying prices of the Fund's portfolio securities, but it does establish
a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign
currency contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the
hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the
value of the currency increase. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risks
if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their
contracts.

Foreign currency: The books and records of the Fund are maintained in United
States (U.S.) dollars. Foreign currencies, investments and other assets and
liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at
the end of the period, and purchases and sales of investment securities, income
and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.
Unrealized gains and losses which result from changes in foreign currency
exchange rates have been included in the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation)
of foreign currencies and net other assets. Net realized foreign currency gains
and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency
gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities
transactions, foreign currency transactions and the difference between the
amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Fund and the
amounts actually received. The portion of foreign currency gains and losses
related to fluctuation in exchange rates between the initial purchase trade date
and subsequent sale trade date is included in realized gains and losses on
investment securities sold.
 
Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are
recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities
transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date except that certain dividends from foreign
securities are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date.
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Investment income and realized
and unrealized gains and losses are allocated based upon relative net assets of
each class of shares.
 
Dividends and distributions to shareholders: Dividends from net investment
income, if any, are determined on a class level. Dividends from net realized
capital gains are determined on a fund level. The Fund intends to pay annual
dividends consisting of substantially all of its net investment income and net
short-term and long-term capital gains, if any. In addition, in order to avoid
the application of a 4% nondeductible excise tax imposed on certain
undistributed amounts of ordinary income or capital gains, the Fund may make any
additional distributions of any undistributed ordinary income or capital gains
shortly before December 31 in each year and expects to make any other
distributions as are necessary to avoid this tax.
 
Income dividends and capital gain distributions on a Fund level are determined
in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally
accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing
treatments

of income and gains on various investment securities held by the Fund, timing
differences and differing characterization of distributions made by the Fund.
 
Federal income taxes: It is the Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its
shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required.
 
2.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE, ADMINISTRATION FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
 
The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the "Advisory
Agreement") with Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management, Inc. ("SBMFM") (formerly
known as "Smith, Barney Advisers, Inc."). Under the Advisory Agreement, the Fund
pays a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.80% of the value of its average daily
net assets.
 
The Fund has also entered into an administration agreement (the "Administration
Agreement") with SBMFM. Under the Administration Agreement, the Fund pays SBMFM
a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.20% of the value of its average daily net
assets.
 
The Fund and SBMFM entered into a sub-administration agreement (the "Sub-
Administration Agreement") with The Boston Company Advisors, Inc. ("Boston
Advisors"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Mellon Bank Corporation
("Mellon"). Under the Sub-Administration Agreement, Boston Advisors is paid a
portion of the fee paid by the Fund to SBMFM at a rate agreed upon from time to
time between SBMFM and Boston Advisors.
 
For the six months ended October 31, 1994, the Fund incurred total brokerage
commissions of $345,652 of which $51,349 was paid to Smith Barney.
 
For the six months ended October 31, 1994, SBMFM received from shareholders
$59,622 representing commissions (sales charges) on sales of the Class A shares.
 
A CDSC is generally payable by a shareholder in connection with the redemption
of Class B shares within five years after the date of purchase. In circumstances
in which the CDSC is imposed, the amount of the charge ranges between 5.0% and
1.0% of Net Asset Value depending on the number of years since the date of
purchase. For the six months ended October 31, 1994, SBMFM received from
shareholders $97,801 representing contingent deferred sales charges on the
redemption of Class B shares.

No officer, director or employee of Smith Barney or of any of its affiliates
receives any compensation from the Fund for serving as a Trustee or officer of
the Fund. The Fund pays each Trustee who is not an officer, director or employee
of Smith Barney or any of its affiliates $3,000 per annum plus $500 per meeting
attended and reimburses each such Trustee for travel and out-of-pocket expenses.
 
Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of
Mellon serves as the Fund's custodian. The Shareholders Services Group, Inc., a
subsidiary of First Data Corporation, serves as the Fund's transfer agent.
 
3.  SERVICES AND DISTRIBUTION PLAN
 
Smith Barney acts as distributor of the Fund's shares pursuant to a distribution
agreement with the Fund, and sells shares of the Fund through Smith Barney or
its affiliates.
 
Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted a Services and
Distribution Plan (the "Plan"). Under this Plan, the Fund compensates Smith
Barney for servicing shareholder accounts for Class A, Class B and Class D
shareholders and covers expenses incurred in distributing Class B and Class D
shares. Smith Barney is paid an annual service fee with respect to Class A,
Class B and Class D shares of the Fund at the rate of 0.25% of the value of the
average daily net assets of each respective class of shares. Smith Barney is
also paid an annual distribution fee with respect to Class B and Class D shares
at the rate of 0.75% of the value of the average daily net assets attributable
to each respective class of shares. For the six months ended October 31, 1994,
the Fund incurred service fees of $46,108, $83,602 and $697 for Class A, Class B
and Class D shares, respectively. For the six months ended October 31, 1994, the
Fund incurred distribution fees of $250,807 and $2,091 for Class B shares and
Class D shares, respectively.
 
4.  EXPENSE ALLOCATION
 
Expenses of the Fund not directly attributable to the operations of any class of
shares are prorated among the classes based upon the relative net assets of each
class of shares. Operating expenses directly attributable to a class of shares
are charged to that class of shares' operations. In addition to the above
servicing and distribution fees, class specific operating expenses include
transfer-agent fees of $49,682, $93,586, $326, and $82 for Class A, Class B,
Class C, and Class D shares, respectively.

The Fund may purchase securities which are subject to legal or contractual
restrictions on resale if not more than 15% of the value of the Fund's total
assets would be invested in such securities or in securities for which there is
no readily available market. In purchasing securities which could not be sold by
the Fund without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
Fund will endeavor to obtain the right to registration at the expense of the
issuer. There

generally will be a lapse of time between the decision by the Fund to sell any
such security and the registration of the security permitting sale. During any
such period, the security will be subject to market fluctuations.
 
8.  LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
 
The Fund has the ability to lend its securities to brokers, dealers and other
financial organizations. Loans of portfolio securities by the Fund will be
collaterized by cash, letters of credit or U.S. government securities that are
maintained at all times in an amount at least equal to the current market value
of the loaned securities.
 
As of October 31, 1994 the Fund loaned securities to certain brokers with an
aggregate market value of $3,174,552 which represents 2.4% of total net assets,
for which the Fund received $3,342,839 as collateral.
 
9.  LINE OF CREDIT
 
The Fund and several affiliated entities participate in a $50 million line of
credit provided by Continental Bank N.A. under an Amended and Restated Line of
Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") dated April 30, 1992 and renewed effective
May 31, 1994, primarily for temporary or emergency purposes, including the
meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely
disposition of securities. The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of $25 million
or 10% of its net assets. Interest is payable either at the bank's Money Market
Rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus .375% on an annualized
basis. The Fund and the other affiliated entities are charged an aggregate
commitment fee of $100,000 which is allocated equally among each of the
participants. The Agreement requires, among other provisions, each participating
fund to maintain a ratio of net assets (not including funds borrowed pursuant to
the Agreement) to aggregate amount of indebtedness pursuant to the Agreement of
no less than 5 to 1. During the six months ended October 31, 1994, the Fund did
not borrow under the Agreement.
 
10.  FOREIGN SECURITIES
 
Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves
special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in
securities of U.S. companies and the United States government. These risks
include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic
developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign

governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile
than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the United States
government.
 
11.  CAPITAL STRUCTURE
 
On July 20, 1994, the Board of Trustees of the Fund approved several changes to
the class and pricing structure of the former Smith Barney Shearson mutual
funds, to facilitate consolidation of those funds with the Smith Barney Mutual
Funds (the "Uniform Structure"). Under the Uniform Structure, effective November
7, 1994, shares previously designated as Class A or Class B shares retained
their designations. However, shares previously designated as Class C and Class D
shares were redesignated as Class Z and Class C shares, respectively. In
addition, the Fund offers a new class of shares, Class Y shares, without
imposition of a sales charge, to investors making an initial investment of at
least $5 million. Adoption of the Uniform Structure has no effect on the rights
and privileges of the fund's current shareholders.
