SINCE OUR LAST REPORT TO YOU, THE STOCK MARKET HAS EXPERIENCED CONTINUED
VOLATILITY AS MANY INVESTORS TRY TO COME TO GRIPS WITH THE ASIAN CRISIS,
NUMEROUS WORLD FLASHPOINTS (I.E., YUGOSLAVIA, INDIA, PAKISTAN AND THE MIDEAST),

ULTIMATELY, IT IS THE FINAL FACTOR-- PROFITS--WHICH WILL BE THE KEY ELEMENT IN
LIFTING THE PRICE OF LARGE CAPITALIZATION GROWTH STOCKS. WE HAVE MADE GREAT
EFFORTS TO ENSURE THAT THE COMPANIES WE BUY ARE POISED TO DELIVER CONSISTENT,

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
 
We are pleased to provide the semi-annual report for the Smith Barney Large
Capitalization Growth Fund ("Fund") for the period ended May 31, 1998. In this
report, we have summarized the period's prevailing economic and market
conditions and outlined our portfolio strategy. A detailed summary of the Fund's
performance can be found in the appropriate sections that follow.
Performance Update and Strategy
 
For the six months ended May 31, 1998, the Class A, B and C shares of the Fund
generated total returns without sales charges of 22.69%, 22.23% and 22.23%,
respectively. In comparison, the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Index ("S&P
500") had a total return of 14.17% over the same six-month period. (The S&P 500
Index is a market capitalization-weighted measure of 500 widely held common
stocks.)
 
The Fund emphasizes a core of large-capitalization growth stocks that share a
number of characteristics. Chief among them are strong financials (i.e.,
consistent and sustainable earnings growth, significant free cash flow and very
high returns on equity). The second key characteristic centers on the product or
service of a company. We are most interested in companies delivering world-class
products or services in the global marketplace. We are also looking for dominant
companies within growth industries where we perceive the barriers to entry to be
extremely high. Lastly, a third characteristic we look for is a strong
management team. Strong management is just as important as is a company's
financial condition or its products or services. We look for these
characteristics to identify companies that represent outstanding long-term
investment opportunities.
 
Market Overview
 
Since our last report to you, the stock market has experienced continued
volatility as many investors try to come to grips with the Asian crisis,
numerous world flashpoints (i.e., Yugoslavia, India, Pakistan and the Mideast),
assorted scandals, and finally, the profit picture for U.S. companies.
Ultimately, it is the final factor--profits--which will be the key element in
lifting the price of large capitalization growth stocks. We have made great
efforts to ensure that the companies we buy are poised to deliver consistent,
sustainable earnings growth in this difficult environment.
 
Market Outlook
 
In our view, the strong fundamentals being generated in our investment universe
look sustainable. Coupled with a relatively low degree of inflation and stable
to low interest rates, we believe there is additional upside potential in large
capitalization growth stocks. The holdings in the Fund continue to emphasize the
trio of thematic opportunities we identified at the time of the Fund's launch,
August 29, 1997,--namely, focusing on opportunities within the consumer,
financial and technology industries.
 
- - CONSUMER STOCKS such as Coca-Cola, Walt Disney, Eli Lilly, Gillette,
  McDonald's and Wrigley are taking full advantage of the explosion in consumer
  demand and growing capitalism that is emerging worldwide.
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SMITH BARNEY LARGE CAPITALIZATION GROWTH FUND                                  1
<PAGE>
- - FINANCIAL STOCKS such as Wells Fargo, AIG and Fannie Mae stand to benefit from
  the trend toward greater deregulation in the financial services industry and
  the emergence of worldwide capitalism.
 
- - TECHNOLOGY STOCKS that are poised to grow as the revolution in technology and
  productivity continues. Whether through telecommunications (Lucent),
  networking (Cisco), semiconductors (Intel), software (Microsoft), growth,
  while volatile, has been explosive. We believe these world-class franchises
  are well positioned to continue their above-average earnings growth in the
  years to come.
 
We think that one of the best ways to participate in the stock market is by
owning great companies with strong managements and financials, and owning them
over time and over market fluctuations. We're not market timers or allocators.
Just as these companies will be compounding their earnings over time, we believe
in letting our investments compound their earnings over time. We think that is
one of the keys to successful portfolio management and successful investing.
 
In closing, thank you for investing in the Smith Barney Large Capitalization
Growth Fund. We look forward to continuing to help you pursue your financial
goals.
 
Sincerely,

+ The above chart represents a hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in
  Class A, B and C shares at inception on August 29, 1997, assuming deduction of
  the maximum 5.00% sales charge at the time of investment for Class A shares,
  the deduction of the maximum 5.00% CDSC for Class B shares and the deduction
  of the 1.00% CDSC for Class C shares. 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 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
  values 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
 
Smith Barney Large Capitalization Growth Fund ("Fund") is a separate diversified
investment fund of the Smith Barney Investment Trust ("Trust"). The Trust, a
Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company and consists of
this Fund and four other separate investment funds: Smith Barney Intermediate
Maturity California Municipals Fund, Smith Barney Intermediate Maturity New York
Municipals Fund, Smith Barney Mid Cap Blend Fund and Smith Barney S&P 500 Index
Fund. The financial statements and financial highlights for the other funds are
presented in separate semi-annual reports with the exception of the Smith Barney
Mid Cap Blend Fund which began operation after May 31, 1998.
 
The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund 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 for which no sales price was reported and U.S. government and agency
obligations are valued at the mean between bid and ask price; (c) securities
maturing within 60 days are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus
amortized premium, which approximates value; (d) dividend income is recorded on
the ex-dividend date; foreign dividends are recorded on the earlier of the
ex-dividend date or as soon as practical after the Fund determines the existence
of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence; interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis; (e) realized gains or losses on the
sale of securities are calculated based on the specific identification method;
(f) direct expenses are charged to each class; management fees and general fund
expenses are allocated on the basis of relative net assets by class; (g)
dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the
ex-dividend date; (h) the accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S.
dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies
against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation; (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 November 30,
1997, reclassifications were 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 net investment loss
amounting to $537,946 was reclassified to paid-in capital. Net investment
income, net realized gains and net assets were not affected by this change; (j)
the Fund 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 (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 and Other Transactions
 
Mutual Management Corp. ("MMC"), a subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings
Inc. ("SSBH"), acts as invesment manager to the Fund. The Fund pays MMC a
management fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net
assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.
 
Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), another subsidiary of SSBH acts as distributor of Fund
shares. For the six months ended May 31, 1998, SB received brokerage commissions
of $15,480 and sales charges of approximately $1,224,000 on sales of the Fund'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. For the six months ended May 31, 1998, CDSCs paid to SB were:

Pursuant to the Distribution Plan, the Fund 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 for each respective class. The Fund also pays a distribution
fee with respect to its Class B and C shares calculated at an annual rate of
0.75% of the average daily net assets of each class, respectively. For the six
months ended May 31, 1998, total Distribution Plan fees incurred were:

</TABLE>
 
4. Repurchase Agreements
 
The Fund 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 Fund requires continual
maintenance of the market value of the collateral in amounts at least equal to
the repurchase price.
 
5. Shares of Beneficial Interest
 
At May 31, 1998, the Fund had an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Fund has the
ability to issue multiple classes of shares. Each share of a class represents an
indentical 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 May 31, 1998, total paid-in capital amounted to the following for each class:

6. Subsequent Event
 
The Board of Trustees of the Fund approved the renaming of Class C shares to
Class L which became effective on June 12, 1998. In addition, effective June 15,
1998, Class L shares were to be sold at net asset value plus a maximum initial
sales charge of 1.00%. Class L shares also have a 1.00% CDSC if redemptions
occur within one year from initial purchase. Until June 25, 1999, purchases of
Class L shares by investors who were holders of Class C shares of the Fund on
June 12, 1998 will not be subject to the 1.00% front-end sales charge.

Proposal 2 requested that shareholders approve certain changes to the
fundamental policies of the Fund in order to modernize them in view of certain
regulatory, business or industry developments that have occurred since original
adoption of these policies by the Fund. The following chart demonstrates that
all proposals were approved by shareholders for the Fund.
 
Please note that "M" indicates a modification of the policy; "E" indicates the
elimination of the policy; and "R" indicates the reclassification of the policy
from fundamental (which would require shareholder approval to change) to
non-fundamental (which can be changed by a vote of the Board of Trustees).

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the semi-annual report for the Smith Barney
Intermediate Maturity New York Municipals Fund ("Fund") for the period ended May
31, 1998. In this report, we summarize the period's prevailing economic and
market conditions and outline the Fund's investment strategy. A detailed summary
of the Fund's performance and current holdings can be found in the appropriate
sections that follow.

Fund's Performance and Investment Strategy

For the six months ended May 31, 1998, the Class A shares of the Fund generated
a total return of 3.29% and outperformed its Lipper Analytical Services Inc.
intermediate-term New York municipals peer group average total return of 3.06%
for the same period. (Lipper is an independent fund-tracking organization.)

In addition, the Fund paid income dividends totaling $0.20 per Class A share
during the reporting period. Based on a net asset value ("NAV") of $8.65 and at
a current monthly income dividend of $0.0341 per Class A share, this equates to
an annualized distribution rate of 4.73%. For a New York resident in the
combined state and federal income tax bracket of 40.6%, the Fund's tax-free
yield of 4.73% is equivalent to a taxable yield of 7.96%. (This figure assumes
an investor is in the federal income tax bracket of 36%.) For performance
information on the Fund's Class C shares, please turn to page 5.

In addition to providing current income, the Fund seeks to preserve investment
principal. During the reporting period, the average NAV for Class A shares was
$8.65. The NAV high was $8.79 and the low was $8.53, which means the NAV
fluctuated no more than 1.6% from the average NAV for the period.

We have also maintained our emphasis on higher-quality municipal bonds because
we believe lower-rated issues offer little advantage for the extra risks taken.
As of May 31, 1998, roughly 96% of the Fund's holdings were rated investment
grade with nearly 48% of these investments rated triple-A, the 


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

highest rating. (Investment-grade bonds are those rated in one of the four
highest ratings categories by any nationally recognized statistical rating
organization, or determined by the manager to be of equivalent quality.)

As an intermediate-term municipal bond fund, the weighted average maturity of
the Fund's securities will normally not exceed ten years. During the reporting
period, we have maintained a weighted average maturity on the longer end of that
scale at approximately 8.9 years because we expect that higher inflationary
pressures should not emerge in the near term. Moreover, because real yields
(i.e., the yield after subtracting the effects of inflation) on municipal bonds
are historically high, we believe extending the Fund's weighted average maturity
should help sustain its income stream.

We continue to follow an investment strategy that emphasizes high-quality
issues, good call protection and broad sector diversification. Generally, we
focus on the coupon, maturity and call features of the Fund's holdings rather
than the specific purpose for which the bond is being issued. As of May 31,
1998, the Fund's assets were diversified over a variety of sectors including the
following: education bonds (16.1%), general obligation bonds (15.0%) and
hospital bonds (14.5%).

New York Economic Highlights

New York has finally begun to reap the benefits of the nation's ongoing economic
expansion. In 1997, new job creation increased by roughly 1.2%. However, the
Empire State still substantially lags the rest of the U.S. in job growth. Like
many other regions, New York's economy continues to evolve from one dominated by
manufacturing to a more services-oriented economy. In particular, the Empire
State has benefited immensely from Wall Street's spectacular success in recent
years. Strong stock market volume, high levels of merger and acquisition
activity and a large volume of corporate underwriting has led to equally
outstanding profit growth for many financial services firms. Wall Street's
success has enabled New York City officials to project budget surpluses for the
first time in years.

Market Update and Outlook

During the six months, covered by this report, domestic bond market performance
was influenced primarily by a healthy economy with low inflation and the
uncertainties that continue to cloud many of the world's major stock markets.
Despite robust consumer demand and labor shortages in many areas, consumer
prices remained fairly stable while wholesale prices for many key commodities,
particularly oil, actually fell.

Just fifteen months ago, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan warned
against what he viewed as "irrational exuberance" in financial markets. Since
that time, the economy has continued to expand, the stock market has soared to
even 


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

greater heights and the unemployment rate touched historic lows. Yet, inflation
has remained subdued. In a widely expected action, Federal Reserve ("Fed")
policymakers emerged from their meeting on May 31, 1998 with no decision and let
stand the 5.5% federal-funds rate, which has remained unchanged since March
1997. (The federal-funds rate is the interest rate banks charge each other for
overnight loans and a closely watched indicator of the direction of interest
rates.) While the Fed's motivation for its decision is not yet known, persistent
weakness in Asian economies has undoubtedly made the Fed more cautious in its
monetary policy.

Since the Asia crisis first began last summer, many investors began to shift
their attention towards "safe haven" investments such as U.S. Treasury
securities. This renewed demand helped push the yield on the bellwether 30-year
U.S. Treasury bond, which moves in the opposite direction of its price, to a
record low of 5.70% on January 12, 1998.

Foreign investors, who do not benefit from the tax advantages of municipal
bonds, have been substantial buyers of U.S. Treasury notes and bonds. So far,
municipal bonds have not fully participated in this market rally and,
consequently, the yield spread between U.S. Treasury securities and municipal
bonds has narrowed.

For example, the yield for 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds fell from 6.15% to 5.81%
during the reporting period. Similarly, municipal bond yields have also
declined, but not as sharply. According to the Bond Buyer 25-Bond Revenue Index,
municipal bond yields have fallen from approximately 5.48% on December 4, 1997
to 5.39% on May 28, 1998.

One result of these historically low interest rates has been a record volume of
municipal bond issuance. In the first quarter of 1998 alone, more than $68
billion of bonds were sold, representing an increase of roughly 70% from the
same period last year. Many municipalities took advantage of the low interest
rates by refinancing older, higher-coupon bonds. Moreover, the strength of the
economy has filled state coffers and increased their debt capacity while the
economic expansion has accelerated demand for more infrastructure improvements,
many of which have been on hold in an era of fiscal conservatism.

While municipal bonds have tended to lag other bond markets, we believe this has
created investment opportunities in the tax-exempt bond market. The massive
issuance volume that we have witnessed recently has helped keep municipal bond
yields from falling as much as their taxable counterparts. As noted above, this
yield differential has widened in recent weeks and as of May 31, 1998, long-term
municipal bonds yielded as much as roughly 92% of 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds.
This means that many municipal issues currently offer a relatively competitive
yield advantage over many other taxable fixed-income investments, especially for
investors in the higher tax brackets.

Municipal Bond Market Outlook 

We remain optimistic on the prospects for the municipal bond market in the
coming months. We believe our positive outlook is supported by the following
factors:

     o    The full impact of the Asian crisis on the U.S. economy has yet to be
          realized. As Asian companies attempt to recover, domestic companies
          will face fierce competition and that will tend to hold prices down
          and help to contain any emerging inflationary pressures. Moreover,
          there exists a significant possibility that the Asian economic and
          financial recovery will take longer than many investment professionals
          currently anticipate, therefore extending the disinflationary
          influence on the U.S. economy.

     o    The rate of inflation remains historically low.

     o    The reduction of the federal budget, which should also reduce the need
          for federal borrowing.

In closing, thank you for your investment in the Smith Barney Intermediate
Maturity New York Municipals Fund. We look forward to continuing to help you
pursue your financial goals.

Sincerely,


/s/ Heath B. Mclendon                    /s/ Peter M. Coffey

+    Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class A shares at
     inception on December 31, 1991, assuming deduction of the maximum 2.00%
     sales charge at the time of investment and reinvestment of dividends and
     capital gains, if any, at net asset value through May 31, 1998. The Lehman
     Brothers 10 Year Municipal Bond Index is a broad-based index comprised of
     approximately 5,200 bonds totaling approximately $63 billion in market
     capitalization. The bonds are all municipal bonds with an average maturity
     of 9.8 years, an average yield of 4.93% and a duration of 7.08 years. The
     index is unmanaged and is not subject to the same management and trading
     expenses of a mutual fund. The Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper")
     Peer Group Average is an average of the Fund's peer group of mutual funds
     (24 funds as of May 31, 1998) investing in intermediate maturity New York
     tax-exempt bonds. 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 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 values 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 (unaudited)
================================================================================

All ratings are by Standard & Poor's Ratings Service ("Standard & Poor's"),
except those identified by an asterisk (*) are rated by Moody's Investors
Service Inc. ("Moody's") and those identified by a double dagger (++) are rated
by Fitch Investor Services, Inc. ("Fitch"). 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 minus (-) sign to show relative standings within the major
rating categories.

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

AA   --   Bonds rated "AA" have a very strong capacity to pay interest and
          repay principal and differ from the highest rated issue only in a
          small degree.

A    --   Bonds rated "A" have 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  --   Bonds rated "BBB" are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
          interest and repay principal. Whereas they normally exhibit 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.


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

Ba   --   Bonds that are rated "Ba" are judged to have speculative elements;
          their future cannot be considered as well assured. Often the
          protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate
          thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the
          future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class. 

B    --   Bonds that are rated "B" generally lack characteristics of desirable
          investments. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of
          maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of
          time may be small.

  Bond Ratings (unaudited)(continued)
================================================================================

Fitch -- Ratings may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign
to show relative standings within the major ratings categories.

A    --   Bonds which are rated "A" are considered to be investment grade and
          of high quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest and/or
          dividends and repay principal is considered to be strong, but may be
          more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions and
          circumstances than debt or preferred securities with higher ratings.

BBB  --   Bonds which are rated "BBB" are considered to be investment grade
          and of satisfactory credit quality. The obligor's ability to pay
          interest or dividends and repay principal is considered to be
          adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances,
          however, are more likely to have adverse impact on these securities
          and, therefore, impair timely payment. The likelihood that the ratings
          of these bonds or preferred will fall below investment grade is higher
          than for securities with higher ratings.

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

1.   Significant Accounting Policies

Smith Barney Intermediate Maturity New York Municipals Fund ("Fund") is a
separate non-diversified investment fund of the Smith Barney Investment Trust
("Trust"). The Trust, a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment
company and consists of this Fund and four other separate investment funds:
Smith Barney Intermediate Maturity California Municipals Fund, Smith Barney
Large Capitalization Growth Fund, Smith Barney S&P 500 Index Fund and Smith
Barney Mid Cap Blend Fund. The financial statements and financial highlights for
the other funds are presented in separate semi-annual reports with the exception
of the Smith Barney Mid Cap Blend Fund which began operation after May 31, 1998.

The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are: (a)
security transactions are accounted for on the trade date; (b) securities are
valued at the mean between the quoted bid and ask prices provided by an
independent pricing service that are based on transactions in municipal
obligations, quotations from municipal bond dealers, market transactions in
comparable securities and various relationships between securities; (c)
securities maturing within 60 days are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or
minus amortized premium, which approximates value; (d) gains or losses on the
sale of securities are calculated by using the specific identification method;
(e) interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of
original issue discount, is recorded on the accrual basis; market discount is
recognized upon the disposition of the security; (f) direct expenses are charged
to the Fund and each class; investment advisory fees and general fund expenses
are allocated on the basis of relative net assets by class; (g) dividends and
distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date; (h) the Fund
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 (i) 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

Mutual Management Corp. ("MMC"), a subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings
Inc. ("SSBH"), acts as investment adviser to the Fund. The Fund pays MMC an
advisory fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.30% of the average daily net
assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly. For the six months ended
May 31, 1998, MMC waived $42,031 of its investment advisory fee.

MMC also acts as the Fund's administrator for which the Fund pays a fee
calculated at the annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets. This fee
is calculated daily and paid monthly. For the six months ended May 31, 1998, MMC
waived $28,020 of its administration fee.

Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), another subsidiary of SSBH, acts as distributor of
Fund shares. For the six months ended May 31, 1998, SB received sales charges of
approximately $31,000 on purchases of the Fund's Class A shares.

There is a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% on Class C shares,
which applies if redemption occurs within one year from initial purchase. For
the six months ended May 31, 1998, CDSCs paid to SB were approximately:

================================================================================
</TABLE>

Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Fund pays a service fee with respect to its
Class A and C shares, calculated at the annual rate of 0.15% of the average
daily net assets for each respective class. In addition, the Fund pays a
distribution fee with respect to its Class C shares calculated at the annual
rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets. For the six months ended May 31,
1998, total Distribution Plan fees incurred were:

3.   Exempt-Interest Dividends and Other Distributions

The Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal
securities, which is exempt from regular Federal income tax and from designated
state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to the
shareholders of the Fund.

Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable to shareholders, and are
declared and paid at least annually.

4.   Fund Concentration

Since the Fund invests primarily in obligations of issuers within New York, it
is subject to possible concentration risk, associated with economic, political
or legal developments or industrial or regional matters specifically affecting
New York.

5.   Investments

For the six months ended May 31, 1998, the aggregate cost of purchases and
proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities, but excluding
short-term securities) were as follows:

6.   Capital Loss Carryforward

At November 30, 1997, the Fund had, for Federal income tax purposes,
approximately $1,492,000 of loss carryforwards available to offset any 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.

7.   Shares of Beneficial Interest

As of May 31, 1998, the Fund had an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Fund 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 May 31, 1998, total paid-in capital amounted to the following for each class:

Proposal 2 requested that shareholders approve certain changes to the
fundamental policies of the Fund in order to modernize them in view of certain
regulatory, business or industry developments that have occurred since original
adoption of these policies by the Fund. The following chart demonstrates that
all proposals were approved by shareholders.

Please note that "M" indicates a modification of the policy; "E" indicates the
elimination of the policy; and "R" indicates the reclassification of the policy
from fundamental (which would require shareholder approval to change) to non-
fundamental (which can be changed by a vote of the Board of Trustees).

Dear Shareholder:             

We are pleased to provide the semi-annual report for the Smith Barney
Intermediate Maturity California Municipals Fund ("Fund") for the period ended
May 31, 1998. In this report, we summarize the period's prevailing economic and
market conditions and outline the Fund's investment strategy. A detailed summary
of the Fund's performance and current holdings can be found in the appropriate
sections that follow.

Fund's Performance Update

For the six-months ended May 31, 1998, the Class A shares of the Fund generated
a total return of 2.82% which was roughly in line with the Fund's Lipper
Analytical Services Inc. California intermediate-term municipals peer group
average total return of 2.87% for the same period. (Lipper is a major
independent fund-tracking organization.)

In addition, the Fund paid income dividends totaling $0.19 per Class A share
during the reporting period. Based on a net asset value ("NAV") of $8.71 as of
May 31, 1998, and a current monthly income dividend rate of approximately
$0.0338 per Class A share, this equates to an annualized distribution rate of
4.66%. For a California resident in the combined effective state and federal
income tax bracket of 41.95%, the Fund's tax-free yield of 4.66% is equivalent
to a taxable yield of 8.03%. (This figure assumes an investor is in the federal
income tax bracket of 36%.)

Market Update and Portfolio Strategy

The year under review has seen a clear dichotomy develop between domestic and
international pressures on the bond markets. Recently, the weakness in Southeast
Asia has kept inflationary pressures low and has provided a soft economic
backdrop, which in turn has helped to support bond prices. With respect to the
U.S. economy, the data has been quite different and indicates continued economic
growth, tight labor markets and some signs of higher inflationary pressures.
These conditions would normally point to a Federal 


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smith Barney Intermediate Maturity California Municipals Fund                 1
<PAGE>
 
Reserve Board ("Fed") tightening of short-term interest rates and weakening bond
prices. However, Asia's problems have put Fed monetary policy temporarily on
hold and have created a classic standoff between the bulls and the bears. Some
investors may perceive this standoff as relative calm in a market that is
actually more turbulent than it may appear. While the market may seem calm on
the surface, pressures from both viewpoints are building. We expect that one
side will ultimately prevail and become dominant, probably before the end of the
year. In our opinion, current domestic concerns should outweigh foreign
considerations among Fed policy-makers.

California Economic Highlights

Despite growing problems in Southeast Asia, California's economy has continued
to gain momentum. Although almost half of all goods manufactured in California
find their way to Southeast Asia, sales to that region have been quite stable.
Furthermore, exports from California to other areas, particularly Mexico and
Canada, have experienced solid gains. Low unemployment and higher personal
income levels have also helped increase State budget coffers. In fact, the
Golden State is currently enjoying a $1.6 billion budget surplus.

Fund's Investment Strategy

The yield curve has become extremely flat in the last few months. (The yield
curve shows the difference between short- and long-term yields.) That means
there is little extra yield being offered by owning longer maturity bonds and
taking on the added risks of higher interest rate volatility.

We have maintained our seven-year average maturity in the Fund while remaining
as fully invested as possible. This strategy should allow us to limit our
interest rate exposure while helping to protect our dividend income. This is a
conservative investment strategy and because of currently low interest rates, we
believe that it is a prudent course of action.

During the past year, the Fund focused on transportation bonds (16.0%), housing
bonds (15.4%) and hospital bonds (13.3%) because we believed they offered good
relative values. In addition, as of May 31, 1998, approximately 98% of the
Fund's holdings were rated investment grade by either Standard & Poor's Ratings
Group or Moody's Investors Services Inc., with about 56% of the Fund's holdings
invested in AAA bonds, the highest possible rating. (Investment-grade bonds are
those rated in one of the four highest ratings categories by nationally
recognized statistical rating organization, or determined by the manager to be
of equivalent quality.)

Municipal Bond Market Outlook

Municipal bonds today trade at approximately 90% of 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds,
which is an extremely attractive after-tax spread. U.S. Treasury bond rates have
been pushed down by several forces, but most recently by foreign capital exiting
Asia in a "flight to quality." Because these foreign investors do not gain any
benefit from tax-exempt income, municipal bonds have not appreciated as much as
U.S. Treasurys of late. It also means that when the tide turns, the Fund's lower
key and more defensive investment strategy should hold us in good stead in any
future market sell-off.

We have also seen a significant increase in the volume of new issues in the
municipal bond market taking advantage of historically low interest rates. We
believe the municipal market is comparatively inexpensive and provides us with a
broad spectrum of securities to choose from. For us, that means the issues we
will consider will probably remain high in credit quality and somewhat shorter
in maturity than in past market cycles.

In closing, thank you for your investment in the Smith Barney Intermediate
Maturity California Municipals Fund. We look forward to continuing to help you
achieve your financial goals.

Sincerely,


/s/ HEATH B. MCLENDON                    /s/ JOSEPH P. DEANE

+    Hypothetical illustration of $10,000 invested in Class A shares at
     inception on December 31, 1991, assuming deduction of the maximum 2.00%
     sales charge at the time of investment and reinvestment of dividends and
     capital gains, if any, at net asset value through May 31, 1998. The Lehman
     Brothers 10-Year Municipal Bond Index ("Index") is a broad-based index
     which includes about 5,200 bonds totaling approximately $63 billion in
     market capitalization. The Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. Peer Group
     Average is composed of an average of the Fund's peer group of mutual funds
     (34 funds as of May 31, 1998) investing in intermediate maturity California
     tax-exempt bonds. 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 A 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 values 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 Rating Service ("Standard & Poor's"),
except those identified by an asterisk (*) are rated by Moody's Investors
Service Inc. ("Moody's") and those which are identified by a double dagger (++)
are rated by Fitch Investor Services, Inc. ("Fitch"). 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 minus (-) sign to show relative standings within the major
rating categories.

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

AA   --   Bonds rated "AA" have a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
          principal and differ from the highest rated issue only in a small
          degree.

A    --   Bonds rated "A" have 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  --   Bonds rated "BBB" are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
          interest and repay principal. Whereas they normally exhibit 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.

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 ranking within its
generic category.

Aaa  --   Bonds 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 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 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 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 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.

Fitch -- Ratings may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign
to show relative standings within the major ratings categories. 

A    --   Bonds rated "A" are considered to be investment grade and of high
          credit quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest and/or dividends
          and repay principal is considered to be strong, but may be more
          vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances
          than securities with higher ratings.

================================================================================
  Bond Ratings (continued)
================================================================================

BBB    -- Bonds rated "BBB" are considered to be investment grade and of
          satisfactory credit quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest or
          dividends and repay principal is considered to be adequate. Adverse
          changes in economic conditions and circumstances, however, are more
          likely to have adverse impact on these securities and, therefore,
          impair timely payment. The likelihood that the ratings of these bonds
          will fall below investment grade is higher than for securities with
          higher ratings.

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

================================================================================
  Short-Term Securities Ratings
================================================================================

SP-1   -- Standard & Poor's highest rating indicating very strong or strong
          capacity to pay principal and interest; those issues determined to
          possess overwhelming safety characteristics are denoted with a plus
          (+) sign.

A-1    -- Standard & Poor's highest commercial paper and variable-rate demand
          obligation (VRDO) rating indicating that the degree of safety
          regarding timely payment is either overwhelming or very strong; those
          issues determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics are
          denoted with a plus (+) sign.

VMIG 1 -- Moody's highest rating for issues having a demand feature -- VRDO.

P-1    -- Moody's highest rating for commercial paper and for VRDO prior to the
          advent of the VMIG 1 rating.

1.   Significant Accounting Policies

Smith Barney Intermediate Maturity California Municipals Fund ("Fund") is a
separate, non-diversified, investment fund of the Smith Barney Investment Trust
("Trust"). The Trust, a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment
company and consists of this Fund and four other separate investment funds:
Smith Barney Intermediate Maturity New York Municipals Fund, Smith Barney Large
Capitalization Growth Fund, Smith Barney Mid Cap Blend Fund and Smith Barney S&P
500 Index Fund. The financial statements and financial highlights for the other
funds are presented in separate semi-annual reports with the exception of the
Smith Barney Mid Cap Blend Fund which began operation after May 31, 1998.

The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are: (a)
security transactions are accounted for on the trade date; (b) securities are
valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices provided by an
independent pricing service that are based on transactions in municipal
obligations, quotations from municipal bond dealers, market transactions in
comparable securities and various relationships between securities; (c)
securities maturing within 60 days are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or
minus amortized premium, which approximates value; (d) gains or losses on the
sale of securities are calculated by using the specific identification method;
(e) interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of
original issue discount, is recorded on the accrual basis; market discount is
recognized upon the disposition of the security; (f) direct expenses are charged
to the Fund and each class; management fees and general fund expenses are
allocated on the basis of relative net assets; (g) dividends and distributions
to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date; (h) the Fund 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 (i) 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.   Portfolio Concentration

Since the Fund invests primarily in obligations of issuers within California, it
is subject to possible concentration risks associated with economic, political,
or legal developments or industrial or regional matters specifically affecting
California.

3.   Investment Advisory Agreement, Administration
     Agreement and Other Transactions

Mutual Management Corp. ("MMC"), a subsidiary of Salomon Smith Barney Holdings
Inc. ("SSBH"), acts as investment adviser to the Fund. The Fund pays MMC an
advisory fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.30% of the average daily net
assets. This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly. For the six months ended
May 31, 1998, MMC waived $32,748 of its investment advisory fees.

MMC also acts as the Fund's administrator for which the Fund pays a fee
calculated at the annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets. This fee
is calculated daily and paid monthly. For the six months ended May 31, 1998, MMC
waived $21,832 of its administration fees.

Smith Barney Inc. ("SB"), another subsidiary of SSBH, acts as distributor of
Fund shares. For the six months ended May 31, 1998, SB received sales charges of
approximately $32,000 on sales of the Fund's Class A shares.

There is a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% on Class C shares,
which applies if redemption occurs within one year from initial purchase. For
the six months ended May 31, 1998, there were no CDSCs paid to SB for Class C
shares.

Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Fund pays a service fee with respect to its
Class A and C shares, calculated at the annual rate of 0.15% of the average
daily net assets for each class. In addition, the Fund pays a distribution fee
with respect to its Class C shares calculated at the annual rate of 0.20%.

For the six months ended May 31, 1998, total Distribution Plan fees were:

================================================================================
</TABLE>

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

4.   Exempt-Interest Dividends and Other Distributions

The Fund intends to satisfy conditions that will enable interest from municipal
securities, which is exempt from regular Federal income tax and from designated
state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to the
shareholders of the Fund.

Capital gains distributions, if any, are taxable to shareholders, and are
declared and paid at least annually.

6.  Capital Loss Carryforwards

At November 30, 1997, the Fund had for Federal tax purposes approximately
$966,000 of capital loss carryforwards available, subject to certain
limitations, 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 year of expiration for each carryforward loss is indicated below:

At May 31, 1998, the Fund had an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Fund 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 May 31, 1998, total paid-in capital amounted to the following for each class.

     Proposal 2 requested that shareholders approve certain changes to the
fundamental policies of the Fund in order to modernize them in view of certain
regulatory, business or industry developments that have occurred since original
adoption of these policies by the Fund. The following chart demonstrates that
all proposals were approved by shareholders.

     Please note that "M" indicates a modification of the policy; "E" indicates
the elimination of the policy; and "R" indicates the reclassification of the
policy from fundamental (which would require shareholder approval to change) to
non-fundamental (which can be changed by a vote of the Board of Directors).

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide the first semi-annual report of the Smith Barney S&P
500 Index* Fund ("Fund") for the period ended May 31, 1998. In this report we
summarize the period's prevailing economic and market conditions. A detailed
summary of performance and current holdings in the Fund can be found in the
appropriate sections that follow.

Investment Objective and Performance Update

The Fund seeks to provide investment results that, before expenses, correspond
to the price and yield performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock
Price Index ("S&P 500 Index"), which is representative of the U.S. stock market.
(The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based measurement of changes in stock market
conditions based on the average performance of 500 widely held common stocks.)

The Fund holds a broadly diversified portfolio of common stocks that is
comparable to the S&P 500 Index in terms of sector weightings and market
capitalization. Since the Fund's inception on January 5, 1998, the Fund had a
total return of 11.70% compared with the 12.41% for the S&P 500 Index over the
same period.

Financial Markets Overview

During the reporting period, large-cap stocks continued to dominate as investors
moved money into the perceived safer haven of well-diversified, larger company
stocks. Growth stocks generally performed well in the first quarter of 1998.

The U.S. stock market got off to a surprisingly strong start in the first
quarter. Investors were expecting the worst on the earnings front in early 1998
in the aftermath of the Asian crisis. The action in the U.S. stock market was
even more remarkable in light of the slight increase in interest rates at the
end of the first quarter of 1998. According to our research, about 46% of all
companies exceeded earnings expectations while 31% reported earnings below
consensus.

The anxiously awaited fourth-quarter earnings, however, turned out to be better
than the worst-case scenario. As a result, investors heaved a big sigh of relief
and embarked on a furious buying spree. In a broad-based market rally, the S&P
500 Index gained 13.53% for the first quarter of 1998 versus the Fund's return
of 12.70% during the same period.

Stock market volatility increased significantly during the month of April. A
seesaw pattern in stock prices persisted through the month and the S&P 500 Index
rose by 0.91% in April.

Interest rates took center stage towards the end of April as the Federal Reserve
Board publicly discussed a shift to a tightening bias. Long-term interest rates
shot up above 6% while the S&P 500 Index fell 3.9% from April 22, 1998 to April
27, 1998. Inflation, however, continued to remain low and, despite a strong
first quarter Gross Domestic Product report, economic data still suggests a
slowdown in the second half of 1998. Bond prices stabilized as a result of such
evidence in late April and early May and stock prices recovered to the levels
established at the end of the first quarter of 1998.

Renewed concerns over Asia and slowing earnings growth shook the stock market in
May. The S&P 500 Index declined by almost 2%. Several companies provided early
guidance about lower second quarter earnings. However, fund investors who had
exposure to big company stocks in the second quarter of 1998 did well, as the
S&P 500 Index again outpaced most other types of funds and had a return of
roughly 3.17% in the second quarter of 1998 compared with the slight loss
experienced by most average U.S. stock funds. Despite the fact that the earnings
of large companies that dominate the S&P 500 have come under pressure lately,
investors appeared to prefer the relative "safety" of large-capitalization
company stocks during the reporting period that can still maintain their
earnings in a slowing economy.

Conclusion

The recent environment of low inflation, stable interest rates and steady
economic growth has been conducive to rising stock prices. Not
surprisingly, returns from the U.S. stock market during the reporting

period were very healthy. However, extended bull markets can cause some
investors to lose sight of some of the risks of investing in stocks. We register
a note of caution on the U.S. stock market based on high valuations and earnings
risk related to the Asian crisis and a slowing domestic economy. Therefore, we
believe investors in the Smith Barney S&P 500 Index Fund should stay true to
their long-term investment plan and be prepared for greater market volatility.

In closing, thank you for investing in the Smith Barney S&P 500 Index Fund. We
look forward to helping you pursue your investment goals.

Sincerely,


/s/ Heath B. McLendon                        /s/ John Lau

Some Risks to Remember about the Smith Barney
S&P 500 Index Fund

Please note that the net asset value of the Fund's shares will fluctuate and
these shares may be worth more or less than their original cost upon redemption.
There can be no assurances given that the Fund will achieve its investment
objective. Moreover, the investment performance of the S&P 500 Index does not
factor in sales charges, brokerage commissions, management fees and other fund
costs assumed by the Fund. Therefore, the Fund cannot exactly replicate the
performance of the S&P 500 Index.

Moreover, when the stock market goes down, as defined by the S&P 500 Index, the
Fund's net asset value will decline as well. Since the Fund tries to mirror,
before expenses, the performance of the S&P 500 Index, the investment management
team will usually not try and judge the merits of any one particular security,
and the poor performance of any one single security will not necessarily mean
the security will be removed from the Fund.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The Smith Barney S&P 500 Index Fund ("Fund") is a separate investment fund of
the Smith Barney Investment Trust ("Trust"). The Trust, a Massachusetts business
trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of this
Fund and four other funds: the Smith Barney Intermediate Maturity California
Municipals Fund, the Smith Barney Intermediate Ma tu ri ty New York Municipals
Fund, Smith Barney Large Capitalization Growth Fund and Smith Barney Mid Cap
Blend Fund. The financial statements and financial highlights for the other
funds are presented in separate semi-annual reports with the exception of the
Smith Barney Mid Cap Blend Fund which did not begin operation until after May
31, 1998.

The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund are:(a)
security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) securities traded on
a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on that
exchange or, if there were no sales, at the current quoted bid price;
over-the-counter securities and listed securities are valued at the bid price at
the close of business on each day; U.S. government securities are valued at the
quoted bid price in the over-the-counter market; investment in securities for
which market quotations are not available are valued at fair value as determined
by the Board of Trustees; (c) securities maturing within 60 days are valued at
cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which approximates
value; (d) interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and dividend income
is recorded on the ex-dividend date; (e) the accounting records of the Fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of
such currencies against 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 or expense amounts recorded and collected or paid are
adjusted when reported by the custodian bank; (f) gains or losses on the sale of
securities are calculated by using the specific identification method; (g)
dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Fund on the
ex-dividend date; (h) 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; (i) the Fund 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

4. Repurchase Agreements

The Fund purchases (and its custodian takes possession of) U.S. govern ment
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 Fund requires continual maintenance
of the market value of the collateral in amounts at least equal to the
repurchase price.

5. Option Contracts

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

At May 31, 1998, the Fund held no purchased call or put options.

When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium
received by the Fund is recorded as a liability, the value of which is
marked-to-market daily. When a written option expires, the Fund realizes a gain
equal to the amount of the premium received. When the Fund enters into a closing
purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of the
closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was
sold) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security,
and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When a written call
option is exercised the cost of the security sold will be decreased by the
premium originally received. When a written put option is exercised, the amount
of the premium originally received will reduce the cost of the security which
the Fund 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 Fund enters into options for hedging purposes. The risk in writing a
call option is that the Fund 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 loss if
the market price of the underlying security declines.

During the period ended May 31, 1998, the Fund did not write any call or put
options.

6. Futures Contracts

Initial margin deposits made upon entering into futures contracts are recognized
as assets. Securities equal to the initial margin amount are segregated by the
custodian in the name of the broker. Additional securities are also segregated
up to the current market value of the futures contracts. 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 received or made 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 Fund records a realized gain or loss
equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing
transactions and the Fund's basis in the contract. The Fund enters into such
contracts to hedge a portion of its portfolio. The Fund bears the market risk
that arises from changes in the value of the financial instruments and
securities indices (futures contracts).

At May 31, 1998, the Fund had the following open futures contracts:

                       # of                    Basis     Market    Unrealized

7. Lending of Portfolio Securities

The Fund has an agreement with its custodian whereby the custodian may lend
securities owned by the Fund to brokers, dealers and other financial
organizations. Fees earned by the Fund on securities lending are recorded as
interest income. Loans of securities by the Fund are collateralized by cash,
U.S. government securities or high quality money market instruments that are
main tained at all times in an amount at least equal to the current market value
of the loaned securities, plus a margin depending on the type of securities
loaned. The custodian establishes and maintains the collateral in a segregated
account. The Fund maintains exposure for the risk of any losses in the
investment of amounts received as collateral.

At May 31, 1998, the Fund had no securities on loan.

8. Shares of Beneficial Interest

At May 31, 1998, the Fund had an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Fund 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.

Transactions in shares of the Fund were as follows:

                                                                  Period Ended
