To the Board of Trustees of CitiFunds International Trust and the
Shareholders of CitiFunds International Growth Portfolio
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of CitiFunds
International Growth Portfolio (one of the funds constituting CitiFunds
International Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") for the year ended
December 31, 1998, we considered its internal control, including control
activities for safeguarding investments, in order to determine our auditing
procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial
statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to
provide assurance on internal control.
The management of the Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining
internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by
management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs
of controls. Generally, controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the
entity's objective of preparing financial statements for external purposes that
are fairly presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Those control activities include the safeguarding of assets
against unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition.
Because of inherent limitations in internal control, errors or fraud may occur
and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of internal control to
future periods is subject to the risk that it may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and operation
may deteriorate.
Our consideration of internal control would not necessarily disclose all
matters in internal control that might be material weaknesses under
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or
operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce
to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud
in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements
being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by
employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions.
However, we noted no matters involving internal control, including control
activities for safeguarding investments, that we consider to be material
weaknesses as defined above as of December 31, 1998.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and
the Board of Trustees of the Fund and the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
