                           PERSONAL INVESTMENT POLICY
                                       FOR
                            SALOMON SMITH BARNEY INC.
                         IN CONNECTION WITH ITS ACTIVITY
                                AS DISTRIBUTOR OF
                     CERTAIN REGISTERED INVESTMENT COMPANIES

Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("SSB") has adopted this policy on securities
transactions in order to provide policies and procedures consistent with Rule
17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 to prevent fraudulent or
manipulative practices with respect to purchases or sales of securities held or
to be acquired by those U.S. registered investment companies ("Funds") advised
or managed by SSB Citi Asset Management Group ("SSB Citi")(1) for which SSB acts
as distributor. ALL DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF SSB WHO, IN THE ORDINARY COURSE OF
BUSINESS, MAKE, PARTICIPATE IN OR OBTAIN INFORMATION REGARDING, THE PURCHASE OR
SALE OF SECURITIES BY THE FUNDS, OR WHOSE FUNCTIONS OR DUTIES IN THE ORDINARY
COURSE OF BUSINESS RELATE TO THE MAKING OF ANY RECOMMENDATION TO THE FUNDS
REGARDING THE PURCHASE OR SALE OF SECURITIES AND WHO ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE SSB
CITI PERSONAL INVESTMENT POLICY ARE COVERED PERSONS UNDER THIS POLICY.

I.       STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES - The fundamental standard to be followed in
         personal securities transactions is that Covered Persons may not take
         inappropriate advantage of their positions. All personal securities
         transactions by Covered Persons shall adhere to the requirements of
         this policy and shall be conducted in such a manner as to avoid any
         actual or potential conflict of interest, the appearance of such a
         conflict, or the abuse of the person's position of trust and
         responsibility. While this policy is designed to address both
         identified conflicts and potential conflicts, it cannot possibly be
         written broadly enough to cover all potential situations. In this
         regard, Covered Persons are expected to adhere not only to the letter,
         but also the spirit of the policies contained herein.

         Covered Persons are reminded that they also are subject to other
         Citigroup policies, including policies on insider trading, the purchase
         and sale of securities listed on any applicable SSB restricted list,
         the receipt of gifts and service as a director of a publicly traded
         company. Covered Persons must never trade in a security or commodity
         while in possession of material, non-public information about the
         issuer or the market for those securities or commodities, even if the
         Covered Person has satisfied all other requirements of this policy.

         The reputation of SSB and its employees for straightforward practices
         and integrity is a priceless asset, and all employees have the duty and
         obligation to support and maintain it when conducting their personal
         securities transactions.

II.      APPLICABILITY - Each Covered Person must comply with all of the
         provisions of this policy. The personal investment policies, procedures
         and restrictions referred to herein also apply to a Covered Person's
         spouse and minor children. The policies also apply to any other account
         over which the Covered Person is deemed to have beneficial ownership.
         This includes: accounts of any immediate family members sharing the
         same household as the Covered Person; accounts of persons or other
         third parties for whom the Covered Person exercises investment
         discretion or gives investment advice; a legal vehicle in which the
         Covered Person has a direct or indirect beneficial interest and has
         power over investment decisions; accounts for the benefit of a third
         party (e.g., a charity) which may be directed by the Covered Person
         (other than in the capacity of an employee); and any account over which
         the Covered Person may be deemed to have control. For a more detailed
         description of beneficial ownership, see Exhibit A attached hereto.

         These policies place certain restrictions on the ability of a Covered
         Person to purchase or sell securities that are being or have been
         purchased or sold by the Funds. The restrictions also apply to
         securities that are "related" to a security being purchased or sold by
         the Funds. A "related security" is one whose value is derived from the
         value of another security (e.g., a warrant, option or an indexed
         instrument).

         SECURITIES are defined as stocks, notes, bonds, closed-end mutual
         funds, debentures, and other evidences of indebtedness, including
         senior debt, subordinated debt, investment contracts, commodity
         contracts, futures and all derivative instruments such as options,
         warrants and indexed instruments, or, in general, any interest or
         instrument commonly known as a "security."

III.     ENFORCEMENT - It is the responsibility of each Covered Person to act in
         accordance with a high standard of conduct and to comply with the
         policies and procedures set forth in this document. SSB takes seriously
         its obligation to monitor the personal investment activities of its
         employees. Any violation of this policy by Covered Persons will be
         considered serious, and may result in disciplinary action, which may
         include the unwinding of trades, disgorgement of profits, monetary fine
         or censure, and suspension or termination of employment.

IV.      OPENING AND MAINTAINING EMPLOYEE ACCOUNTS - All employee brokerage
         accounts, including spouse accounts, accounts for which the Covered
         Person is deemed to have beneficial ownership, and any other accounts
         over which the Covered Person and/or spouse exercise control, must be
         maintained either at SSB or at Citicorp Investment Services ("CIS").2
         For spouses or other persons who, by reason of their employment, are
         required to conduct their securities, commodities or other financial
         transactions in a manner inconsistent with this policy, or in other
         exceptional circumstances, Covered Persons may submit a written request
         for an exemption to the Compliance Department. If approval is granted,
         copies of trade confirmations and monthly statements must be sent to
         the Compliance Department. In addition, all other provisions of this
         policy will apply.

V.       EXCLUDED ACCOUNTS AND TRANSACTIONS - The following types of
         accounts/transactions need not be maintained at SSB or CIS, nor are
         they subject to the other restrictions of this policy:

            1. Accounts at outside mutual funds that hold only shares of
               open-end funds purchased directly from that fund company. Note:
               transactions relating to closed-end funds are subject to the
               pre-clearance, blackout period and other restrictions of this
               policy;

            2. Estate or trust accounts in which a Covered Person or related
               person has a beneficial interest, but no power to affect
               investment decisions. There must be no communication between the
               account(s) and the Covered Person with regard to investment
               decisions prior to execution. The Covered Person must direct the
               trustee/bank to furnish copies of confirmations and statements to
               the Compliance Department;

            3. Fully discretionary accounts managed by either an internal or
               external registered investment adviser are permitted and may be
               custodied away from SSB and CIS if (i) the Covered Person
               receives permission from the Director of Compliance, and (ii)
               there is no communication between the manager and the Covered
               Person with regard to investment decisions prior to execution.
               The Covered Person must designate that copies of trade
               confirmations and monthly statements be sent to the Compliance
               Department;

            4. Covered Persons may participate in direct investment programs
               which allow the purchase of securities directly from the issuer
               without the intermediation of a broker/dealer provided that the
               timing and size of the purchases are established by a
               pre-arranged, regularized schedule (e.g., dividend reinvestment
               plans). Covered Persons must pre-clear the transaction at the
               time that the dividend reinvestment plan is being set up. Covered
               Persons also must provide documentation of these arrangements and
               direct periodic (monthly or quarterly) statements to the
               Compliance Department; and

            5. In addition to the foregoing, the following types of securities
               are exempted from pre-clearance, blackout periods, reporting and
               short-term trading requirements: open-ended mutual funds;
               open-end unit investment trusts; U.S. Treasury bills, bonds and
               notes; mortgage pass-throughs (e.g. Ginnie Maes) that are direct
               obligations of the U.S. government; bankers acceptances; bank
               certificates of deposit; commercial paper; and high quality
               short-term debt instruments (meaning any instrument that has a
               maturity at issuance of less than 366 days and that is rated in
               one of the two highest rating categories by a nationally
               recognized statistical rating organization, such as S&P or
               Moody's), including repurchase agreements.

VI.      SECURITIES HOLDING PERIOD/SHORT-TERM TRADING - Securities transactions
         must be for investment purposes rather than for speculation.
         Consequently, employees may not profit from the purchase and sale, or
         sale and purchase, of the same or equivalent securities within sixty
         (60) calendar days, calculated on a First In, First Out (FIFO) basis
         (i.e., the security may be sold on the 61st day). Citigroup securities
         received as part of a Covered Person's compensation are not subject to
         the 60-day holding period. All profits from short-term trades are
         subject to disgorgement. However, with the prior written approval of
         the Director of Compliance, and only in rare and/or unusual
         circumstances, a Covered Person may execute a short-term trade that
         results in a significant loss or in break-even status.

VII.     PRE-CLEARANCE - Covered Persons must pre-clear all personal securities
         transactions (see Section V for a listing of accounts, transactions and
         securities that do not require pre-clearance). A copy of the
         pre-clearance form is attached as Exhibit B. IN ADDITION, COVERED
         PERSONS ARE PROHIBITED FROM ENGAGING IN MORE THAN TWENTY (20)
         TRANSACTIONS IN ANY CALENDAR MONTH, EXCEPT WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN
         APPROVAL FROM THE DIRECTOR OF COMPLIANCE. A transaction must not be
         executed until the Covered Person has received the necessary approval.
         Pre-clearance is valid only on the day it is given. If a transaction is
         not executed on the day pre-clearance is granted, it is required that
         pre-clearance be sought again on a subsequent day (i.e., open orders,
         such as limit orders, good until cancelled orders and stop-loss orders,
         must be pre-cleared each day until the transaction is effected). In
         connection with obtaining approval for any personal securities
         transaction, Covered Persons must describe in detail any factors that
         might be relevant to an analysis of the possibility of a conflict of
         interest. Any trade that violates the pre-clearance process may be
         unwound at the Covered Person's expense, and the Covered Person will be
         required to absorb any resulting loss and to disgorge any resulting
         profit.

VIII.    BLACKOUT PERIODS - No Covered Person shall purchase or sell, directly
         or indirectly, any security in which he/she has, or by reason of the
         transaction acquires, any direct or indirect beneficial ownership if
         he/she has knowledge at the time of such transaction that the security
         is being purchased or sold, or is being considered for purchase or
         sale, by a Fund. In addition, a Covered Person may not buy or sell any
         securities for personal accounts on the same day that a Fund about
         which the Covered Person is likely to have trading or portfolio
         information (as determined by the Compliance Department) trades in that
         security.

         Any violation of the foregoing provision will require the Covered
         Person's trade to be unwound, with the Covered Person absorbing any
         resulting loss and disgorging any resulting profit. Please be reminded
         that, regardless of the provisions set forth above, all employees are
         always prohibited from effecting personal securities transactions based
         on material, non-public information.

         Blackout period requirements shall not apply to any purchase or sale,
         or series of related transactions involving the same or related
         securities, involving 500 or fewer shares in the aggregate if the
         issuer has a market capitalization (outstanding shares multiplied by
         the current price per share) greater than $10 billion and is listed on
         a U.S. Stock Exchange or NASDAQ. Note: Pre-clearance is still required.
         Under certain circumstances, the Compliance Department may determine
         that a Covered Person may not rely upon this "Large Cap/De Minimis"
         exemption. In such a case, the Covered Person will be notified prior to
         or at the time the pre-clearance request is made.

IX.      PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS - The following transactions by Covered Persons
         are prohibited without the prior written approval from the Compliance
         Director:

            1. The purchase of private placements; and

            2. The acquisition of any securities in an initial public offering
               (new issues of municipal debt securities may be acquired subject
               to the other requirements of this policy (e.g., pre-clearance).)

X.       TRANSACTIONS IN OPTIONS AND FUTURES - Covered Persons may buy or sell
         derivative instruments such as individual stock options, options and
         futures on indexes and options and futures on fixed-income securities,
         and may buy or sell physical commodities and futures and forwards on
         such commodities. These transactions must comply with all of the
         policies and restrictions described in this policy, including
         pre-clearance, blackout periods, transactions in Citigroup securities
         and the 60-day holding period. However, the 60-day holding period does
         not apply to individual stock options that are part of a hedged
         position where the underlying stock has been held for more than 60 days
         and the entire position (including the underlying security) is closed
         out.

XI.      PROHIBITED RECOMMENDATIONS - No Covered Person shall recommend or
         execute any securities transaction by any Fund without having
         disclosed, in writing, to SSB Citi's Chief Investment Officer, or
         designee, any direct or indirect interest in such securities or
         issuers, except for those securities purchased pursuant to the "Large
         Cap/De Minimis" exemption described in Section VIII above. Prior
         written approval of such recommendation or execution also must be
         received from the Chief Investment Officer, or designee. The interest
         in personal accounts could be in the form of:

            1. Any direct or indirect beneficial ownership of any securities of
               such issuer;

            2. Any contemplated transaction by the person in such securities;

            3. Any position with such issuer or its affiliates; or

            4. Any present or proposed business relationship between such issuer
               or its affiliates and the person or any party in which such
               person has a significant interest.

XII.     TRANSACTIONS IN CITIGROUP SECURITIES - Unless a Covered Person is a
         member of a designated group subject to more restrictive provisions, or
         is otherwise notified to the contrary, the Covered Person may trade in
         Citigroup securities without restriction (other than the pre-clearance
         and other requirements of this policy), subject to the limitations set
         forth below.

                  Covered Persons whose jobs are such that they know about
                  Citigroup's quarterly earnings prior to release may not engage
                  in any transactions in Citigroup securities during the
                  "blackout periods" beginning on the first day of a calendar
                  quarter and ending on the second business day following the
                  release of earnings for the prior quarter.

                  Stock option exercises are permitted during a blackout period
                  (but the simultaneous exercise of an option and sale of the
                  underlying stock is prohibited). With regard to exchange
                  traded options, no transactions in Citigroup options are
                  permitted except to close or roll an option position that
                  expires during a blackout period. Charitable contributions of
                  Citigroup securities may be made during the blackout period,
                  but an individual's private foundation may not sell donated
                  Citigroup common stock during the blackout period. "Good `til
                  cancelled" orders on Citigroup stock must be cancelled before
                  entering a blackout period and no such orders may be entered
                  during a blackout period.

                  No Covered Person may engage at any time in any personal
                  transactions in Citigroup securities while in possession of
                  material non-public information. Investments in Citigroup
                  securities must be made with a long-term orientation rather
                  than for speculation or for the generation of short-term
                  trading profits. In addition, please note that Covered Persons
                  may not engage in the following transactions:

                  o  Short sales of Citigroup securities;

                  o  Purchases or sales of options ("puts" or "calls") on
                     Citigroup securities, except writing a covered call at a
                     time when the securities could have been sold under this
                     policy;

                  o  Purchases or sales of futures on Citigroup securities; or

                  o  Any transactions relating to Citigroup securities that
                     might reasonably appear speculative.

                  The number of Citigroup shares a Covered Person is entitled to
                  in the Citigroup Stock Purchase Plan is not treated as a long
                  stock position until such time as the Covered Person has given
                  instructions to purchase the shares of Citigroup. Thus,
                  Covered Persons are not permitted to use options to hedge
                  their financial interest in the Citigroup Stock Purchase Plan.

                  Contributions into the firm's 401(k) Plan are not subject to
                  the restrictions and prohibitions described in this policy.

XIII.    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS - All new Covered Persons
         must certify that they have received a copy of this policy, and have
         read and understood its provisions. In addition, all Covered Persons
         must:

            1. Acknowledge receipt of the policy and any modifications thereof,
               in writing (see Exhibit C for the form of Acknowledgement);

            2. Within 10 days of becoming a Covered Person, disclose in writing
               all information with respect to all securities beneficially owned
               and any existing personal brokerage relationships (Covered
               Persons must also disclose any new brokerage relationships
               whenever established). Such information should be provided on the
               form attached as Exhibit D;

            3. Direct their brokers to supply, on a timely basis, duplicate
               copies of confirmations of all personal securities transactions
               (Note: this requirement may be satisfied through the transmission
               of automated feeds);

            4. Within 10 days after the end of each calendar quarter, provide
               information relating to securities transactions executed during
               the previous quarter for all securities accounts (Note: this
               requirement may be satisfied through the transmission of
               automated feeds);

            5. Submit an annual holdings report containing similar information
               that must be current as of a date no more than 30 days before the
               report is submitted, and confirm at least annually all brokerage
               relationships and any and all outside business affiliations
               (Note: this requirement may be satisfied through the transmission
               of automated feeds or the regular receipt of monthly brokerage
               statements); and

            6. Certify on an annual basis that he/she has read and understood
               the policy, complied with the requirements of the policy and that
               he/she has pre-cleared and disclosed or reported all personal
               securities transactions and securities accounts required to be
               disclosed or reported pursuant to the requirements of the policy.

         DISCLAIMER OF BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP - The reports described in Items 4
         and 5 above may contain a statement that the reports shall not be
         construed as an admission by the person making the reports that he/she
         has any direct or indirect beneficial ownership in the securities to
         which the reports relate.

XIV.     HANDLING OF DISGORGED PROFITS - Any amounts that are paid/disgorged by
         a Covered Person under this policy shall be donated by SSB to one or
         more charities. Amounts donated may be aggregated by SSB and paid to
         such charity or charities at the end of each year.

XV.      CONFIDENTIALITY - All information obtained from any Covered Person
         pursuant to this policy shall be kept in strict confidence, except that
         such information will be made available to the Securities and Exchange
         Commission or any other regulatory or self-regulatory organization or
         to the Fund Boards of Directors to the extent required by law,
         regulation or this policy.

XVI.     OTHER LAWS, RULES AND STATEMENTS OF POLICY - Nothing contained in this
         policy shall be interpreted as relieving any person subject to the
         policy from acting in accordance with the provision of any applicable
         law, rule or regulation or any statement of policy or procedure
         governing the conduct of such person adopted by Citigroup, its
         affiliates and subsidiaries.

                       EXPLANATION OF BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP

You are considered to have "Beneficial Ownership" of Securities if you have or
share a direct or indirect "Pecuniary Interest" in the Securities.

You have a "Pecuniary Interest" in Securities if you have the opportunity,
directly or indirectly, to profit or share in any profit derived from a
transaction in the Securities.

The following are examples of an indirect Pecuniary Interest in Securities:

         1. Securities held by members of your immediate family sharing the same
            household; however, this presumption may be rebutted by convincing
            evidence that profits derived from transactions in these Securities
            will not provide you with any economic benefit.

            "Immediate family" means any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent,
            stepparent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law,
            father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or
            sister-in-law, and includes any adoptive relationship.

         2. Your interest as a general partner in Securities held by a general
            or limited partnership.

         3. Your interest as a manager-member in the Securities held by a
            limited liability company.

You do not have an indirect Pecuniary Interest in Securities held by a
corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity in which you
hold an equity interest, unless you are a controlling equityholder or you have
or share investment control over the Securities held by the entity.

The following circumstances constitute Beneficial Ownership by you of Securities
held by a trust:

         1. Your ownership of Securities as a trustee where either you or
            members of your immediate family have a vested interest in the
            principal or income of the trust.

         2. Your ownership of a vested interest in a trust.

         3. Your status as a settlor of a trust, unless the consent of all of
            the beneficiaries is required in order for you to revoke the trust.

The foregoing is a summary of the meaning of "beneficial ownership". For
purposes of the attached policy, "beneficial ownership" shall be interpreted in
the same manner as it would be in determining whether a person is subject to the
provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules
and regulations thereunder
