FUND GOAL AND STRATEGIES

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The fund seeks long-term appreciation of shareholders' capital.

KEY INVESTMENTS

The fund invests primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies.  The fund
typically invests in medium and large capitalization companies but may also
invest in small capitalization companies.  Equity securities include exchange
traded and over-the-counter common stocks and preferred stocks, debt securities
convertible into equity securities, and warrants and rights relating to equity
securities.

SELECTION PROCESS

The manager's investment strategy consists of individual company selection and
management of cash reserves.  The manager looks for investments among a strong
core of growth stocks, consisting primarily of blue chip companies dominant in
their industries.  The fund may also invest in companies with prospects for
sustained earnings growth and/or a cyclical earnings record.

In selecting individual companies for the fund's portfolio, the manager looks
for the following:

 .  Strong or rapidly improving balance sheets
 .  Recognized industry leadership
 .  Effective management teams that exhibit a desire to earn consistent returns
   for shareholders

In addition, the manager considers the following characteristics:

 .  Past growth records
 .  Future earnings prospects
 .  Technological innovation
 .  General market and economic factors
 .  Current yield or potential for dividend growth

- -2-
<PAGE>
 
Generally, companies in the fund's portfolio fall into one of the following
categories:

 .  Undervalued companies:  companies with assets or earning power that are
either unrecognized or undervalued.  The manager generally looks for a catalyst
that will unlock these values.  The manager also looks for companies that are
expected to have unusual earnings growth or whose stocks appear likely to go up
in value due to marked changes in the way they do business (for example, a
corporate restructuring).

 .  Growth at a reasonable price:  companies with superior demonstrated and
expected growth characteristics whose stocks are available at a reasonable
price.  Typically, there is strong recurring demand for these companies'
products.

The manager adjusts the amount held in cash reserves depending on the manager's
outlook for the stock market.  The manager will increase the fund's allocation
to cash when, in the manager's opinion, market valuation levels become
excessive.  The manager may sometimes hold a [significant] portion of the fund's
assets in cash while waiting for buying opportunities or to provide a hedge
against stock market declines.

RISKS, PERFORMANCE AND EXPENSES

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND

Investing in equity securities can bring added benefits, but it may also involve
additional risks.  Investors could lose money on their investment in the fund,
or the fund may not perform as well as other investments, if:

 .  The U.S. stock market declines
 .  Large and medium capitalization stocks or growth stocks are temporarily out
of favor
 .  An adverse event depresses the value of a company's stock
 .  The manager's judgment about the attractiveness, value or potential
appreciation of a particular stock or about the amount to hold in cash reserves
proves to be incorrect

WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
The fund may be an appropriate investment if you:
 .  Are seeking to participate in the long term capital appreciation potential of
the stock market
 .  Are willing to accept the risks of investing in the stock market
 .  Are planning for a long term goal and can tolerate periods of market
volatility

TOTAL RETURN

The bar chart indicates the risks of investing in the fund by showing changes in
the fund's performance from year to year.  Past performance does not necessarily
indicate how the fund will perform in the future.

[BAR CHART APPEARS HERE]

The bar chart shows the performance of the fund's Class A shares for each of the
past 10 calendar years.  Class B, L and Y shares would have different
performance because of their different expenses.  The performance information in
the chart does not reflect sales charges, which would reduce your return.

QUARTERLY RETURNS:  Highest:  xx% in ___ quarter 199X;  Lowest:  xx% in ___
quarter 199X

COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE

The table indicates the risks of investing in the fund by comparing the average
annual total return of each class for the periods shown with that of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500 Index), a broad-based unmanaged index of
widely held stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange.  This table assumes
imposition of the maximum sales charge applicable to the class, redemption of
shares at the end of the period, and reinvestment of distributions and
dividends.

MORE ON THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING TECHNIQUES.  The fund may, but need not, use derivative
contracts, such as futures and options on securities and securities indices and
options on these futures for any of the following purposes:

 .  To hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes in the market
   value of its securities, because of changes in stock market prices
 .  As a substitute for buying or selling securities

A derivative contract will obligate or entitle the fund to deliver or receive an
asset or cash payment based on the change in value of one or more securities or
indices.  Even a small investment in derivative contracts can have a big impact
on the fund's stock market exposure.  Therefore, using derivatives can
disproportionately increase losses and reduce opportunities for gains when stock
prices are changing.  The fund may not fully benefit from or may lose money on
derivatives if changes in their value do not correspond accurately to changes in
the value of the fund's holdings.  The other parties to certain derivative
contracts present the same types of credit risk as issuers of fixed income
securities.  Derivatives can also make the fund less liquid and harder to value,
especially in declining markets.

FOREIGN SECURITIES.  Occasionally, the fund may have exposure to foreign
securities through investment in depositary receipts.  The value of the fund's
foreign securities may go down because of unfavorable government actions,
political instability or the more limited availability of accurate information
about foreign issuers.

DEFENSIVE INVESTING.  The fund may depart from its principal investment
strategies in response to adverse market, economic or political conditions by
taking temporary defensive positions in all types of money market and short-term
debt securities.  If the fund takes a temporary defensive position, it may be
unable to achieve its investment goal.

MANAGEMENT

MANAGER.  The fund's investment adviser and administrator (the manager) is
Mutual Management Corp., an affiliate of Salomon Smith Barney Inc.  The
manager's address is 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013.  The
manager selects the fund's investments and oversees its operations.  The manager
and Salomon Smith Barney are subsidiaries of Citigroup Inc.  Citigroup
businesses produce a broad range of financial services -- asset management,
banking and consumer finance, credit and charge cards, insurance, investments,
investment banking and trading -- and use diverse channels to make them
available to consumer and corporate customers around the world.

Harry D. Cohen, investment officer of Mutual Management Corp. and managing
director of Salomon Smith Barney, has been responsible for the day to day
management of the fund since 1979.

MANAGEMENT FEES.  During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, the manager
received an advisory fee and an administration fee equal to ___% and ___%,
respectively, of the fund's average daily net assets.

DISTRIBUTOR.  The fund has entered into an agreement with CFBDS, Inc. to
distribute the fund's shares.  A selling group consisting of Salomon Smith
Barney and other broker-dealers sells fund shares to the public.

DISTRIBUTION PLANS.  The fund has adopted Rule 12b-1 distribution plans for its
Class A, B and L shares.  Under each plan, the fund pays distribution and
service fees.  These fees are an ongoing expense and, over time, may cost you
more than other types of sales charges.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE.  Information technology experts are concerned about computer
systems' ability to process date-related information on and after January 1,
2000.  This situation, commonly known as the "Year 2000" issue, could have an
adverse impact on the fund.  The cost of addressing the Year 2000 issue, if
substantial, could adversely affect companies and governments that issue
securities held by the funds.  The manager and Salomon Smith Barney are
addressing the Year 2000 issue for their systems.  The fund has been informed by
its other service providers that they are taking similar measures.  Although the
fund does not expect the Year 2000 issue to adversely affect it, the fund cannot
guarantee that the efforts of the fund or its service providers to correct the
problem will be successful.

CHOOSING A CLASS OF SHARES TO BUY

You can choose among four classes of shares:  Classes A, B, L and Y.  Each class
has different sales charges and expenses, allowing you to choose the class that
best meets your needs.  Which class is more beneficial to an investor depends on
the amount and intended length of investment.

 .  If you plan to invest regularly or in large amounts, buying Class A shares
may help you reduce sales charges and ongoing expenses.

 .  For Class B shares, all of your purchase price and, for Class L shares, more
of your purchase amount (compared to Class A shares) will be immediately
invested.  This may help offset the higher expenses of Class B and Class L
shares, but only if the fund performs well.

 .  Class L shares have a shorter deferred sales charge period than Class B
shares.  However, because Class B shares convert to Class A shares, and Class L
shares do not, Class B shares may be more attractive to long-term investors.

You may buy shares from:
 .  A Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant
 .  An investment dealer in the selling group or a broker that clears through
Salomon Smith Barney -- a dealer representative
 .  The fund, but only if you are investing through certain qualified plans or
certain dealer representatives

INVESTMENT MINIMUMS.  Minimum initial and additional investment amounts vary
depending on the class of shares you buy and the nature of your investment
account.

SALES CHARGE:  CLASS A SHARES

You buy Class A shares at the offering price, which is the net asset value plus
a sales charge.  You pay a lower sales charge as the size of your investment
increases to certain levels called breakpoints.  You do not pay a sales charge
on the fund's distributions or dividends you reinvest in additional Class A
shares.

Investments of $500,000 or more.  You do not pay an initial sales charge when
you buy $500,000 or more of Class A shares.  However, if you redeem these Class
A shares within one year of purchase, you will pay a deferred sales charge of
1%.

QUALIFYING FOR A REDUCED CLASS A SALES CHARGE.  There are several ways you can
combine multiple purchases of Class A shares of Smith Barney funds to take
advantage of the breakpoints in the sales charge schedule.

Accumulation privilege - lets you combine the current value of Class A shares
owned

 .   by you or
 .   by members of your immediate family,

and for which a sales charge was paid, with the amount of your next purchase of
Class A shares for purposes of calculating the initial sales charge.  Certain
trustees and fiduciaries may be entitled to combine accounts in determining
their sales charge.

- -10-
<PAGE>
 
Letter of intent - lets you purchase Class A shares of the fund and other Smith
Barney funds over a 13-month period and pay the same sales charge, if any, as if
all shares had been purchased at once.  You may include purchases on which you
paid a sales charge within 90 days before you sign the letter.

WAIVERS FOR CERTAIN CLASS A INVESTORS.  Class A initial sales charges are waived
for certain types of investors, including:

 .  Employees of members of the NASD.

 .  403(b) or 401(k) retirement plans, if certain conditions are met

 .  Clients of newly employed Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultants, if
certain conditions are met

 .  Investors who redeemed Class A shares of a Smith Barney fund in the past 60
days, if the investor's Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or dealer
representative is notified

If you want to learn more about the requirements for reductions or waivers of
Class A initial sales charges, contact your Salomon Smith Barney Financial
Consultant or dealer representative or consult the Statement of Additional
Information ("SAI").

SALES CHARGE:  CLASS B SHARES

charge. However, if you redeem your Class B shares within six years of purchase,
you will pay a deferred sales charge. The deferred sales charge decreases as the

Class A shares. This helps you because Class A shares have lower annual
expenses. Your Class B shares will convert to Class A shares as follows:

SALES CHARGE:  CLASS L SHARES

You buy Class L shares at the offering price, which is the net asset value plus
a sales charge of 1% (1.01% of the net amount invested). In addition, if you
redeem your Class L shares within one year of purchase, you will pay a deferred
sales charge of 1%. If you held Class C shares of the fund on June 12, 1998, you
will not pay an initial sales charge on Class L shares you buy before June 22,
2001.

SALES CHARGE:  CLASS Y SHARES

You buy Class Y shares at net asset value with no initial sales charge and no
deferred sales charge when you redeem. You must meet the $15,000,000 initial

by buying Class Y shares of the fund over a 13-month period. To qualify, you
must initially invest $5,000,000.

MORE ABOUT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES

The deferred sales charge is based on the net asset value at the time of
purchase or redemption, whichever is less, and therefore you do not pay a sales
charge on amounts representing appreciation or depreciation.

In addition, you do not pay a deferred sales charge on:

 .  Shares exchanged for shares of another Smith Barney fund
 .  Shares representing reinvested distributions and dividends
 .  Shares no longer subject to the deferred sales charge

If you redeemed shares of a Smith Barney fund in the past 60 days and paid a
deferred sales charge, you may buy shares of the fund at the current net asset
value and be credited with the amount of the deferred sales charge, if you
notify your Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or dealer representative.

Salomon Smith Barney receives deferred sales charges as partial compensation for
its expenses in selling shares, including the payment of compensation to your
Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or dealer representative.

DEFERRED SALES CHARGE WAIVERS

The deferred sales charge for each share class will generally be waived:

 .  Payments made through certain systematic withdrawal plans
 .  On certain distributions from a retirement plan
 .  For involuntary redemptions of small account balances
 .  For 12 months following the death or disability of a shareholder

If you want to learn more about additional waivers of deferred sales charges,
contact your Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or dealer representative
or consult the SAI.

OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT SHARE TRANSACTIONS

When you buy, exchange or redeem shares, your request must be in good order.
This means you have provided the following information, without which your
request will not be processed.

     .  Name of the fund
     .  Account number
     .  Class of shares being bought, exchanged or redeemed
     .  Dollar amount or number of shares being bought, exchanged or
        redeemed
     .  Signature of each owner exactly as the account is registered

The transfer agent will try to confirm that any telephone exchange or redemption
request is genuine by recording calls, asking the caller to provide a personal
identification number for the account, sending you a written confirmation or
requiring other confirmation procedures from time to time.

SIGNATURE GUARANTEES.  To be in good order, your redemption request must include
a signature guarantee if you:

 .  Are redeeming (together with other requests submitted in the previous 10
days) over $10,000 of shares

 .  Are sending signed share certificates or stock powers to the transfer agent

 .  Instruct the transfer agent to mail the check to an address different from
the one on your account

 .  Changed your account registration

 .  Want the check paid to someone other than the account owner(s)

 .  Are transferring the redemption proceeds to an account with a different
registration

You can obtain a signature guarantee from most banks, dealers, brokers, credit
unions and federal savings and loan institutions, but not from a notary public.

The fund has the right to:

 .  Suspend the offering of shares

 .  Waive or change minimum and additional investment amounts

 .  Reject any purchase or exchange order

 .  Change, revoke or suspend the exchange privilege

 .  Suspend telephone transactions

 .  Suspend or postpone redemptions of shares on any day when trading on the New
York Stock Exchange is restricted, or as otherwise permitted by the Securities
and Exchange Commission

 .  Pay redemption proceeds by giving you securities. You may pay transaction
costs to dispose of the securities

SMALL ACCOUNT BALANCES. If your account falls below $500 because of a redemption
of fund shares, the fund may ask you to bring your account up to $500. If your
account is still below $500 after 60 days, the fund may close your account and
send you the redemption proceeds.

EXCESSIVE EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS. The manager may determine that a pattern of
frequent exchanges is detrimental to the fund's performance and other
shareholders. If so, the fund may limit additional purchases and/or exchanges by
the shareholder.

SHARE CERTIFICATES. The fund does not issue share certificates unless a written
request is made to the transfer agent. If you hold share certificates it will
take longer to exchange or redeem shares.

SMITH BARNEY 401(K) AND EXECCHOICE(TM) PROGRAMS

You may be eligible to participate in the Smith Barney 401(k) program or the
Smith Barney ExecChoice(TM) program. The fund offers Class A and Class L shares
to participating plans as investment alternatives under the programs. You can
meet minimum investment and exchange amounts by combining the plan's investments
in any of the Smith Barney mutual funds.

There are no sales charges when you buy or sell shares and the class of shares
you may purchase depends on the amount of your initial investment.  Once a class
of shares is chosen, all additional purchases must be of the same class.

[_]  Class A shares may be purchased by plans investing at least $1 million.

[_]  Class L shares may be purchased by plans investing less than $1 million.
Class L shares are eligible for exchange into Class A shares not later than 8
years after the plan joined the program.  They are eligible for exchange sooner
in the following circumstances:

     If the account was opened on or after June 21, 1996 and a total of $1
     million is invested in Smith Barney Funds Class L shares (other than money
     market funds), all Class L shares are eligible for exchange after the plan
     is in the program 5 years.

     If the account was opened before June 21, 1996 and a total of $500,000 is
     invested in Smith Barney Funds Class L and Class O shares (other than money
     market funds) on December 31 in any year, all Class L shares are eligible
     for exchange on or about March 31 of the following year.

For more information, call your Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or the
transfer agent, or consult the SAI.

DISTRIBUTIONS, DIVIDENDS AND TAXES

DIVIDENDS. The fund generally makes capital gain distributions and pays
dividends, if any, once a year, typically in December. The fund may pay
additional distributions and dividends at other times if necessary for the fund
to avoid a federal tax. Capital gain distributions and dividends are reinvested
in additional fund shares of the same class you hold. The fund expects
distributions to be primarily from capital gains. You do not pay a sales charge
on reinvested distributions or dividends. Alternatively, you can instruct your
Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant, dealer representative or the transfer
agent to have your distributions and/or dividends paid in cash. You can change
your choice at any time to be effective as of the next distribution or dividend,
except that any change given to the transfer agent less than five days before
the payment date will not be effective until the next distribution or dividend
is paid.

TAXES.  In general, redeeming shares, exchanging shares and receiving
distributions (whether in cash or additional shares) are all taxable events.

<TABLE>

TRANSACTION                               FEDERAL TAX STATUS
<S>                                       <C>
Redemption or exchange of shares          Usually capital gain or loss; long-term only if
                                          shares owned more than one year

Long-term capital gain distributions      Long-term capital gain

Short-term capital gain distributions     Ordinary income

Dividends                                 Ordinary income
</TABLE>

Long-term capital gain distributions are taxable to you as long-term capital
gain regardless of how long you have owned your shares. You may want to avoid
buying shares when the fund is about to declare a long-term capital gain
distribution or a dividend, because it will be taxable to you even though it may
actually be a return of a portion of your investment.

After the end of each year, the fund will provide you with information about the
distributions and dividends you received and any redemptions of shares during
the previous year. If you do not provide the fund with your correct taxpayer
identification number and any required certifications, you may be subject to
back-up withholding of 31% of your distributions, dividends, and redemption
proceeds. Because each shareholder's circumstances are different and special tax
rules may apply, you should consult your tax adviser about your investment in
the fund.

SHARE PRICE

You may buy, exchange or redeem shares at their net asset value, plus any
applicable sales charge, next determined after receipt of your request in good
order. The fund's net asset value is the value of its assets minus its
liabilities. Net asset value is calculated separately for each class of shares.
The fund calculates its net asset value every day the New York Stock Exchange is
open. The Exchange is closed on certain holidays listed in the SAI. This
calculation is done when regular trading closes on the Exchange (normally 4:00
p.m., Eastern time).

The fund generally values its fund securities based on market prices or
quotations. When reliable market prices are not readily available, or when the
value of a security has been materially affected by events occurring after a
foreign exchange closes, the fund may price those securities at fair value. Fair
value is determined in accordance with procedures approved by the fund's board.


A fund that uses fair value to price securities may value those securities
higher or lower than another fund using market quotations to price the same
securities.

In order to buy, redeem or exchange shares at that day's price, you must place
your order with your Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or dealer
representative before the New York Stock Exchange closes. If the New York Stock
Exchange closes early, you must place your order prior to the actual closing
time. Otherwise, you will receive the next business day's price.

Salomon Smith Barney or members of the selling group must transmit all orders to
buy, exchange or redeem shares to the fund's agent before the agent's close of
business.

Financial highlights

The financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand the
performance of each class for the past 5 years (or since inception if less than
5 years). Certain information reflects financial results for a single share.
Total return represents the rate that a shareholder would have earned (or lost)
on a fund share assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The
information in the following tables was audited by KPMG LLP, independent
accountants, whose report, along with the fund's financial statements, are
included in the annual report (available upon request).

FUND GOAL AND STRATEGIES

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The fund seeks long-term appreciation for shareholders' capital.

KEY INVESTMENTS
The fund invests primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies.  The fund
typically invests in medium and large capitalization companies but may also
invest in small capitalization companies.  Equity securities include exchange
traded and over-the-counter common stocks and preferred stocks, debt securities
convertible into equity securities, and warrants and rights relating to equity
securities.

SELECTION PROCESS
The manager's investment strategy consists of individual company selection and
management of cash reserves.  The manager looks for investments among a strong
core of growth stocks, consisting primarily of blue chip companies dominant in
their industries.  The fund may also invest in companies with prospects for
sustained earnings growth and/or a cyclical earnings record.

In selecting individual companies for the fund's portfolio, the manager looks
for the following:

 .  Strong or rapidly improving balance sheets
 .  Recognized industry leadership
 .  Effective management teams that exhibit a desire to earn consistent returns
for shareholders

In addition, the manager considers the following characteristics:

 .  Past growth records
 .  Future earnings prospects
 .  Technological innovation
 .  General market and economic factors
 .  Current yield or potential for dividend growth

- -3-
<PAGE>
 
Generally, companies in the fund's portfolio fall into one of the following
categories:

 .  Undervalued companies:  companies with assets or earning power that are
either unrecognized or undervalued.  The manager generally looks for a catalyst
that will unlock these values.  The manager also looks for companies that are
expected to have unusual earnings growth or whose stocks appear likely to go up
in value due to marked changes in the way they do business (for example, a
corporate restructuring).

 .  Growth at a reasonable price:  companies with superior demonstrated and
expected growth characteristics whose stocks are available at a reasonable
price.  Typically, there is strong recurring demand for these companies'
products.

The manager adjusts the amount held in cash reserves depending on the manager's
outlook for the stock market.  The manager will increase the fund's allocation
to cash when, in the manager's opinion, market valuation levels become
excessive.  The manager may sometimes hold a [significant] portion of the fund's
assets in cash while waiting for buying opportunities or to provide a hedge
against stock market declines.


RISKS, PERFORMANCE AND EXPENSES

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND
Investing in equity securities can bring added benefits, but it may also involve
additional risks.  Investors could lose money on their investment in the fund,
or the fund may not perform as well as other investments, if:

 .  The U.S. stock market declines
 .  Large and medium capitalization stocks or growth stocks are temporarily out
of favor
 .  An adverse event depresses the value of a company's stock
 .  The manager's judgment about the attractiveness, value or potential
appreciation of a particular stock or about the amount to hold in cash reserves
proves to be incorrect

WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
The fund may be an appropriate investment if you:
 .  Are seeking to participate in the long term capital appreciation potential of
the stock market
 .  Are willing to accept the risks of investing in the stock market
 .  Are planning for a long term goal and can tolerate periods of market
volatility

MORE ON THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING TECHNIQUES.  The fund may, but need not, use derivative
contracts, such as futures and options on securities and securities indices and
options on these futures for any of the following purposes:

 .    To hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes in the market
     value of its securities, because of changes in stock market prices
 .    As a substitute for buying or selling securities

A derivative contract will obligate or entitle the fund to deliver or receive an
asset or cash payment based on the change in value of one or more securities or
indices.  Even a small investment in derivative contracts can have a big impact
on the fund's stock market exposure.  Therefore, using derivatives can
disproportionately increase losses and reduce opportunities for gains when stock
prices are changing.  The fund may not fully benefit from or may lose money on
derivatives if changes in their value do not correspond accurately to changes in
the value of the fund's holdings.  The other parties to certain derivative
contracts present the same types of credit risk as issuers of fixed income
securities.  Derivatives can also make the fund less liquid and harder to value,
especially in declining markets.

FOREIGN SECURITIES.  Occasionally, the fund may have exposure to foreign
securities through investment in depositary receipts.  The value of the fund's
foreign securities may go down because of unfavorable government actions,
political instability or the more limited availability of accurate information
about foreign issuers.

DEFENSIVE INVESTING.  The fund may depart from its principal investment
strategies in response to adverse market, economic or political conditions by
taking temporary defensive positions in all types of money market and short-term
debt securities.  If the fund takes a temporary defensive position, it may be
unable to achieve its investment goal.

MANAGEMENT

Manager.  The fund's investment adviser and administrator (the manager) is
SSBC Fund Management Inc., an affiliate of Salomon Smith Barney Inc.  The
manager's address is 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013.  The
manager selects the fund's investments and oversees its operations.  The manager
and Salomon Smith Barney are subsidiaries of Citigroup Inc.  Citigroup
businesses produce a broad range of financial services -- asset management,
banking and consumer finance, credit and charge cards, insurance, investments,
investment banking and trading -- and use diverse channels to make them
available to consumer and corporate customers around the world.

Harry D. Cohen, investment officer of SSBC Fund Management Inc. and managing
director of Salomon Smith Barney, has been responsible for the day to day
management of the fund since 1979.

MANAGEMENT FEE.  During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, the manager
received an advisory fee and an administration fee equal to ___% and ___%,
respectively, of the fund's average daily net assets.

DISTRIBUTOR.  The fund has entered into an agreement with CFBDS, Inc. to
distribute the fund's shares.  [A selling group consisting of Salomon Smith
Barney and other broker-dealers sells fund shares to the public].

YEAR 2000 ISSUE.  Information technology experts are concerned about computer
systems' ability to process date-related information on and after January 1,
2000.  This situation, commonly known as the "Year 2000" issue, could have an
adverse impact on the fund.  The cost of addressing the Year 2000 issue, if
substantial, could adversely affect companies and governments that issue
securities held by the fund. The manager and Salomon Smith Barney are addressing
the Year 2000 issue for their systems.  The fund has been informed by its other
service providers that they are taking similar measures.  Although the fund does
not expect the Year 2000 issue to adversely affect it, the fund cannot guarantee
that the efforts of the fund or its service providers to correct the problem
will be successful.

BUYING, SELLING AND EXCHANGING CLASS Z SHARES

Through a      You may buy, sell or exchange Class Z shares only through a
qualified      "qualified plan." A qualified plan is a tax-exempt employee
plan           benefit or retirement plan of Salomon Smith Barney, Inc. or one
               of its affiliates.

               There are no minimum investment requirements for Class Z shares.
               However, the fund reserves the right to change this policy at any
               time.
 
Buying         Orders to buy Class Z shares must be made in accordance with the
               terms of a qualified plan or certain unit investment trusts
               sponsored by Salomon Smith Barney Inc.
               or any of its affiliates. If you are a participant in a
               qualified plan, you may place an order with your plan to buy
               Class Z shares at net asset value, without any sales charge.
               Payment is due to Salomon Smith Barney on settlement date, which
               is the third business day after your order is accepted. If you
               make payment prior to this date, you may designate a temporary
               investment (such as a money market fund of the Smith Barney
               funds) for payment until settlement date. The fund reserves the
               right to reject any order to buy shares and to suspend the
               offering of shares for a period of time.

Selling        Qualified plans may redeem their shares on any day on which the
               fund calculates its net asset value. You should consult the terms
               of your qualified plan for special redemption provisions.

Exchanging     You should consult your qualified plan for information about
               available exchange options.

SHARE PRICE

Qualified plans may buy, exchange or redeem Class Z shares of the fund at the
net asset value next determined after receipt of your request in good order.
The fund's net asset value is the value of its assets minus its liabilities.
Net asset value is calculated separately for each class of shares.  The fund
calculates its net asset value every day the New York Stock Exchange is open.
The Exchange is closed on certain holidays listed in the Statement of Additional
Information.  This calculation is done when regular trading closes on the
Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time).

The fund generally values its fund securities based on market prices or
quotations.  The fund's currency conversions are done when the London stock
exchange closes, which is 12 noon Eastern time.  When reliable market prices are
not readily available, or when the value of a security has been materially
affected by events occurring after a foreign exchange closes, the fund may price
those securities at fair value.  Fair value is determined in accordance with
procedures approved by the fund's board.  A fund that uses fair value to price
securities may value those securities higher or lower than another fund that
uses market quotations to price the same securities.

International markets may be open on days when U.S. markets are closed and the
value of foreign securities owned by the fund could change on days when your
qualified plan cannot buy or redeem shares.

In order to buy, redeem or exchange shares at that day's price, you must place
your order with your qualified plan before the New York Stock Exchange closes.
If the New York Stock Exchange closes early, you must place your order with your
qualified plan prior to the actual closing time.  Otherwise, you will receive

DISTRIBUTIONS, DIVIDENDS AND TAXES

An investment in the fund will have the following consequences 
for a qualified plan as the owner of shares in the fund.  Qualified plan 
participants should consult their plan document or tax advisors about the 
tax consequences of participating in a qualified plan.

Dividends.  The fund generally makes capital gain distributions and pays 
dividends, if any, once a year, typically in December. The fund may pay 
additional distributions and dividends at other times if necessary for the 
fund to avoid a federal tax.  Capital gain distributions and dividends are 
reinvested in addition Class Z shares.  The fund expects distributions to be
 primarily from capital gains. No sales charge is imposed on reinvested 
distributions or dividends. Alternatively, a qualified plan can instruct its
Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant, dealer representative or the
transfer agent to have distributions and/or dividends paid in cash. It can
change that choice at any time to be effective as of the next distribtion
or dividend, except that any change given to the transfer
agent less than five days before the payment date will not be 
effective until the next distribution or dividend is paid.

Taxes.  Provided that a qualified plan has not borrowed to finance its 
investment in the fund, it will not be taxable on the receipt of dividends 
and distributions from the fund.

Dividends and interest received by the fund from investing in foreign 
securities may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign 
countries.  Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States 
may reduce or eliminate such taxes.  The fund's foreign tax payments will 
reduce the amount of its dividends and distributions.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand the
performance of Class Z shares for the past 5 years.  Certain information
reflects financial results for a single share.  Total return represents the rate
that a shareholder would have earned (or lost) on a fund share assuming
reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.  The information in the
following tables was audited by KPMG LLP, independent accountants, whose report,
along with the fund's financial statements, are included in the annual report

	INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES

The fund is an open-end, diversified, management investment company.  The 
prospectus discusses the fund's investment objective and the policies it 
employs to achieve its objective.  This section contains supplemental 
information concerning the types of securities and other instruments in 
which the fund may invest, the investment policies and portfolio 
strategies the fund may utilize and certain risks attendant to such 
investments, policies and strategies.

Common Stock.  The fund may invest in common stocks.  Common stocks are 
shares of a corporation or other entity entitling the holder to a pro rata 
share of the profits of the corporation, if any, without preference over 
any other shareholder or class of shareholders, including holders of the 
entity's preferred stock and other senior equity.  Common stock usually 
carries with it the right to vote and frequently an exclusive right to do 
so.

Preferred Stock.  Preferred stocks, like debt obligations, are generally 
fixed-income securities. Shareholders of preferred stocks normally have 
the right to receive dividends at a fixed rate when and as declared by the 
issuer's board of directors, but do not participate in other amounts 
available for distribution by the issuing corporation.  Dividends on 
preferred stock may be cumulative, and all cumulative dividends usually 
must be paid prior to common shareholders receiving any dividends.  
Preferred stock dividends must be paid before common stock dividends and, 
for that reason, preferred stocks generally entail less risk than common 
stocks. Upon liquidation, preferred stocks are entitled to a specified 
liquidation preference, which is generally the same as the par or stated 
value, and are senior in right of payment to common stock.  Preferred 
stocks are, however, equity securities in the sense they do not represent 
a liability of the issuer and, therefore, do not offer as great a degree 
of protection of capital or assurance of continued income as investments 
in corporate debt securities.  In addition, preferred stocks are 
subordinated in right of payment to all debt obligations and creditors of 
the issuer, and convertible preferred stocks may be subordinated to other 
preferred stock of the same issuer.

Warrants.  The fund may invest up to 5% of its assets in warrants.  
Warrants acquired entitle the fund to buy common stock from the issuer at 
a specified price and time.  Warrants are subject to the same market risks 
as stocks, but may be more volatile in price.  The fund's investment in 
warrants will not entitle it to receive dividends or exercise voting 
rights and will become worthless if the warrants cannot be profitably 
exercised before the expiration dates.


Convertible Securities.  Convertible securities in which the fund may 
invest, including both convertible debt and convertible preferred stock, 
may be converted at either a stated price or stated rate into underlying 
shares of common stock.  Because of this feature, convertible securities 
enable an investor to benefit from increases in the market price of the 
underlying common stock. Convertible securities provide higher yields than 
the underlying equity securities, but generally offer lower yields than 
non-convertible securities of similar quality.  Like bonds, the value of 
convertible securities fluctuates in relation to changes in interest rates 
and, in addition, also fluctuates in relation to the underlying common 
stock.
Foreign Securities.  The fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers 
in the form of American Depository Receipts ("ADRs"), European Depository 
Receipts ("EDRs") or similar securities representing interests in the 
common stock for foreign issuers.  The manager intends to limit  the 
fund's investment in these types of securities to 10% of the fund's net 
assets.  ADRs are receipts, typically issued by a U.S. bank or trust 
company, which evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by a 
foreign corporation.  EDRs are receipts issued in Europe which evidence a 
similar ownership arrangement.  Generally, ADRs, in registered form, are 
designed for use in the U.S. securities markets and EDRs are designed for 
use in European securities markets.  The underlying securities are not 
always denominated in the same currency as the ADRs or EDRs. Although 
investment in the form of ADRs or EDRs facilitates trading in foreign 
securities, it does not mitigate the risks associated with investing in 
foreign securities.

Investments in foreign securities incur higher costs than investments in 
U.S. securities, including higher costs in making securities transactions 
as well as foreign government taxes which may reduce the investment return 
of the fund.  In addition, foreign investments may include additional 
risks associated with currency exchange rates, less complete financial 
information about individual companies, less market liquidity and 
political instability.

Money Market Instruments. The fund may invest for temporary defensive 
purposes in corporate and government bonds and notes and money market 
instruments.  Money market instruments include: obligations issued or 
guaranteed by the United States government, its agencies or 
instrumentalities ("U.S. government securities"); certificates of deposit, 
time deposits and bankers' acceptances issued by domestic banks (including 
their branches located outside the United States and subsidiaries located 
in Canada), domestic branches of foreign banks, savings and loan 
associations and similar institutions; high grade commercial paper; and 
repurchase agreements with respect to the foregoing types of instruments. 
 Certificates of deposit ("CDs") are short-term, negotiable obligations of 
commercial banks.  Time deposits ("TDs") are non-negotiable deposits 
maintained in banking institutions for specified periods of time at stated 
interest rates.  Bankers' acceptances are time drafts drawn on commercial 
banks by borrowers, usually in connection with international transactions. 
The fund may invest in cash and in short-term instruments, and it may hold 
cash and short-term instruments without limitation when the manager 
determines that it is appropriate to maintain a temporary defensive 
posture. Short-term instruments in which the fund may invest include: (a) 
obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the 
United States government, its agencies or instrumentalities (including 
repurchase agreements with respect to such securities); (b) bank 
obligations (including certificates of deposit, time deposits and bankers' 
acceptances of domestic or foreign banks, domestic savings and loan 
associations and similar institutions); (c) floating rate securities and 
other instruments denominated in U.S. dollars issued by international 
development agencies, banks and other financial institutions, governments 
and their agencies or instrumentalities and corporations located in 
countries that are members of the Organization for Foreign Cooperation and 
Development; and (d) commercial paper rated no lower than A-2 by Standard 
& Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P") or Prime-2 by Moody's Investors Service, 
Inc. ("Moody's") or the equivalent from another major rating service or, 
if unrated, of an issuer having an outstanding, unsecured debt issue then 
rated within the three highest rating categories. 

INVESTMENT PRACTICES

In attempting to achieve its investment objective, the fund may employ, 
among others, the following portfolio strategies.

Repurchase Agreements.  The fund may agree to purchase securities from a 
bank or recognized securities dealer and simultaneously commit to resell 
the securities to the bank or dealer at an agreed-upon date and price 
reflecting a market rate of interest unrelated to the coupon rate or 
maturity of the purchased securities ("repurchase agreements").  The fund 
would maintain custody of the underlying securities prior to their 
repurchase; thus, the obligation of the bank or dealer to pay the 
repurchase price on the date agreed to would be, in effect, secured by 
such securities.  If the value of such securities were less than the 
repurchase price, plus interest, the other party to the agreement would be 
required to provide additional collateral so at all times the collateral 
is at least 102% of the repurchase price plus accrued interest.  Default 
by or bankruptcy of a seller would expose the fund to possible loss 
because of adverse market action, expenses and/or delays in connection 
with the disposition of the underlying obligations.  The financial 
institutions with which the fund may enter into repurchase agreements will 
be banks and non-bank dealers of U.S. Government securities on the Federal 
Reserve Bank of New York's list of reporting dealers, if such banks and 
non-bank dealers are deemed creditworthy by the fund's manager.  The 
manager will continue to monitor creditworthiness of the seller under a 
repurchase agreement, and will require the seller to maintain during the 
term of the agreement the value of the securities subject to the agreement 
to equal at least 102% of the repurchase price (including accrued 
interest).  In addition, the manager will require the value of this 
collateral, after transaction costs (including loss of interest) 
reasonably expected to be incurred on a default, be equal to 102% or 
greater than the repurchase price (including accrued premium) provided in 
the repurchase agreement or the daily amortization of the difference 
between the purchase price and the repurchase price specified in the 
repurchase agreement.  The manager will mark-to-market daily the value of 
the securities.  Repurchase agreements are considered to be loans by the 
fund under the 1940 Act.
Lending of Portfolio Securities.  Consistent with applicable regulatory 
requirements, the fund may lend portfolio securities to brokers, dealers 
and other financial organizations meeting capital and other credit 
requirements or other criteria established by the Board.  The fund will 
not lend portfolio securities to affiliates of the manager unless they 
have applied for and received specific authority to do so from the 
Securities Exchange Commission.  Loans of portfolio securities will be 
collateralized by cash, letters of credit or U.S. Government Securities, 
which are maintained at all times in an amount equal to at least 102% of 
the current market value of the loaned securities.  Any gain or loss in 
the market price of the securities loaned occurring during the term of the 
loan would be for the account of the fund.  From time to time, the fund 
may return a part of the interest earned from the investment of collateral 
received for securities loaned to the borrower and/or a third party 
unaffiliated with the fund and acting as a "finder."
By lending its securities, the fund can increase its income by continuing 
to receive interest and any dividends on the loaned securities as well as 
by either investing the collateral received for securities loaned in 
short-term instruments or obtaining yield in the form of interest paid by 
the borrower when U.S. Government Securities are used as collateral.  
Although the generation of income is not the primary investment goal of 
the fund, income received could be used to pay the fund's expenses and 
would increase an investor's total return.  The fund will adhere to the 
following conditions whenever its portfolio securities are loaned:  
(i) the fund must receive at least 102% cash collateral or equivalent 
securities of the type discussed in the preceding paragraph from the 
borrower; (ii) the borrower must increase such collateral whenever the 
market value of the securities rises above the level of such collateral; 
(iii) the fund must be able to terminate the loan at any time; (iv) the 
fund must receive reasonable interest on the loan, as well as any 
dividends, interest or other distributions on the loaned securities and 
any increase in market value; (v) the fund may pay only reasonable 
custodian fees in connection with the loan; and (vi) voting rights on the 
loaned securities may pass to the borrower, provided, however, that if a 
material event adversely affecting the investment occurs, the Board must 
terminate the loan and regain the right to vote the securities.  Loan 
agreements involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of 
the other party including possible delays or restrictions upon a fund's 
ability to recover the loaned securities or dispose of the collateral for 
the loan.
DERIVATIVES TRANSACTIONS

Options on Securities.  The fund may write (sell) covered put and call 
options on securities ("options") and purchase put and call options 
traded on foreign or U.S. securities exchanges and over the counter. The 
fund will write such options for the purpose of increasing its return 
and/or protecting the value of its portfolio. In particular, where the 
fund writes an option expiring unexercised or is closed out by the fund at 
a profit, it will retain the premium paid for the option, which will 
increase its gross income and will offset in part the reduced value of a 
portfolio security in connection with which the option may have been 
written or the increased cost of portfolio securities to be acquired.  
However, the writing of options constitutes only a partial hedge, up to 
the amount of the premium, less any transaction costs.  In contrast, if 
the price of the security underlying the option moves adversely to the 
fund's position, the option may be exercised and the fund will be required 
to purchase or sell the security at a disadvantageous price, resulting in 
losses that may only be partially offset by the amount of the premium.  
The fund may also write combinations of put and call options on the same 
security, known as "straddles."  Such transactions generate additional 
premium income but also present increased risk.  

The fund may purchase put and call options in anticipation of declines in 
the value of portfolio securities or increases in the value of securities 
to be acquired.  In the event the expected changes occur, the fund may be 
able to offset the resulting adverse effect on its portfolio, in whole or 
in part, through the options purchased.  The risk assumed by the fund in 
connection with such transactions is limited to the amount of the premium 
and related transaction costs associated with the option, although the 
fund may be required to forfeit such amounts in the event the prices of 
securities underlying the options do not move in the direction or to the 
extent anticipated.  The fund can invest up to 5% of its total assets in 
put and call options on securities.

Stock Index Options.  The fund may purchase and write exchange-listed and 
OTC put and call options on stock indexes.  A stock index measures the 
movement of a certain group of stocks by assigning relative values to the 
common stocks included in the index, fluctuating with changes in the 
market values of the stocks included in the index.  Some stock index 
options are based on a broad market index, such as the NYSE Composite 
Index, or a narrower market index such as the Standard & Poor's 100.  
Indexes may also be based on a particular industry or market segment.
Options on stock indexes are similar to options on stock except that (i) 
the expiration cycles of stock index options are monthly, while those of 
stock options are currently quarterly, and (ii) the delivery requirements 
are different. Instead of giving the right to take or make delivery of 
stock at a specified price, an option on a stock index gives the holder 
the right to receive a cash "exercise settlement amount" equal to (a) the 
amount, if any, by which the fixed exercise price of the option exceeds 
(in the case of a put) or is less than (in the case of a call) the closing 
value of the underlying index on the date of exercise, multiplied by (b) a 
fixed "index multiplier."  Receipt of this cash amount will depend upon 
the closing level of the stock index upon which the option is based being 
greater than, in the case of a call, or less than, in the case of a put, 
the exercise price of the index and the exercise price of the option times 
a specified multiple.  The writer of the option is obligated, in return 
for the premium received, to make delivery of this amount.  Stock index 
options may be offset by entering into closing transactions as described 
above for securities options.
The fund will engage in stock index options transactions only when 
determined by SSBC to be consistent with the fund's efforts to control 
risk.  There can be no assurance that such judgment will be accurate or 
that the use of these portfolio strategies will be successful.  The fund 
can invest up to 5% of its total assets in put and call options on 
domestic and foreign stock indexes.

Options, Futures and Currency Strategies.  The fund may use forward 
currency contracts and certain options and futures strategies to attempt 
to hedge its portfolio, i.e., reduce the overall level of investment risk 
normally associated with the fund.  There can be no assurance that such 
efforts will succeed. 
 
In order to assure that the fund will not be deemed to be a "commodity 
pool" for purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act, regulations of the 
Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") require that the fund enter 
into transactions in futures contracts and options on futures only (i) for 
bona fide hedging purposes (as defined in CFTC regulations), or (ii) for 
non-hedging purposes, provided that the aggregate initial margin and 
premiums on such non-hedging positions do not exceed 5% of the liquidation 
value of the fund's assets.  To attempt to hedge against adverse movements 
in exchange rates between currencies, the fund may enter into forward 
currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a specified currency at a 
specified future date.  Such contracts may involve the purchase or sale of 
a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar or may involve two foreign 
currencies.  The fund may enter into forward currency contracts either 
with respect to specific transactions or with respect to its portfolio 
positions.  For example, when the manager anticipates making a purchase or 
sale of a security, it may enter into a forward currency contract in order 
to set the rate (either relative to the U.S. dollar or another currency) 
at which the currency exchange transaction related to the purchase or sale 
will be made ("transaction hedging").  Further, when the manager believes 
that a particular currency may decline compared to the U.S. dollar or 
another currency, the fund may enter into a forward contract to sell the 
currency the manager expects to decline in an amount approximating the 
value of some or all of the fund's securities denominated in that 
currency, or when the manager believes that one currency may decline 
against a currency in which some or all of the portfolio securities held 
by the fund are denominated, it may enter into a forward contract to buy 
the currency expected to decline for a fixed amount ("position hedging"). 
In this situation, the fund may, in the alternative, enter into a forward 
contract to sell a different currency for a fixed amount of the currency 
expected to decline where the investment manager believes that the value 
of the currency to be sold pursuant to the forward contract will fall 
whenever there is a decline in the value of the currency in which 
portfolio securities of the fund are denominated ("cross hedging").  The 
fund will maintain on it's books (i) cash, (ii) U.S. Government securities 
or (iii) equity securities or debt securities (of any grade) in certain 
currencies provided such assets are liquid, unencumbered and marked to 
market daily, or other high-quality debt securities denominated in certain 
currencies in a separate account of the fund having a value equal to the 
aggregate account of the fund's commitments under forward contracts 
entered into with respect to position hedges and cross-hedges.  If the 
value of the securities placed in a separate account declines, additional 
cash or securities are placed in the account on a daily basis so that the 
value of the amount will equal the amount of the fund's commitments with 
respect to such contracts. 
 
For hedging purposes, the fund may write covered call options and purchase 
put and call options on currencies to hedge against movements in exchange 
rates and on debt securities to hedge against the risk of fluctuations in 
the prices of securities held by the fund or which the manager intends to 
include in its portfolio.  The fund also may use interest rates futures 
contracts and options thereon to hedge against changes in the general 
level in interest rates.
 
The fund may write call options on securities and currencies only if they 
are covered, and such options must remain covered so long as the fund is 
obligated as a writer.  A call option written by the fund is "covered" if 
the fund owns the securities or currency underlying the option or has an 
absolute and immediate right to acquire that security or currency without 
additional cash consideration (or for additional cash consideration held 
in a segregated account by its custodian) upon conversion or exchange of 
other securities or currencies held in its portfolio.  A call option is 
also covered if the fund holds on a share-for-share basis a call on the 
same security or holds a call on the same currency as the call written 
where the exercise price of the call held is equal to less than the 
exercise price of the call written or greater than the exercise price of 
the call written if the difference is maintained by the fund in cash, 
Treasury bills or other high-grade, short-term obligations in a segregated 
account on the fund's books.

The fund may purchase put and call options in anticipation of declines in 
the value of portfolio securities or increases in the value of securities 
to be acquired.  In the event the expected changes occur, the fund may be 
able to offset the resulting adverse effect on its portfolio, in whole or 
in part, through the options purchased.  The risk assumed by the fund in 
connection with such transactions is limited to the amount of the premium 
and related transaction costs associated with the option, although the 
fund may be required to forfeit such amounts in the event the prices of 
securities underlying the options do not move in the direction or to the 
extent anticipated.
 
Although the portfolio might not employ the use of forward currency 
contracts, options and futures, the use of any of these strategies would 
involve certain investment risks and transaction costs to which it might 
not otherwise be subject.  These risks include: dependence on the 
manager's ability to predict movements in the prices of individual debt 
securities, fluctuations in the general fixed-income markets and movements 
in interest rates and currency markets, imperfect correlation between 
movements in the price of currency, options, futures contracts or options 
thereon and movements in the price of the currency or security hedged or 
used for cover; the fact that skills and techniques needed to trade 
options, futures contracts and options thereon or to use forward currency 
contracts are different from those needed to select the securities in 
which the fund invests; lack of assurance that a liquid market will exist 
for any particular option, futures contract or options thereon at any 
particular time and possible need to defer or accelerate closing out 
certain options, futures contracts and options thereon in order to 
continue to qualify for the beneficial tax treatment afforded "regulated 
investment companies" under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended 
(the "Code"). 

Over-the-counter options in which the fund may invest differ from exchange 
traded options in that they are two-party contracts, with price and other 
terms negotiated between buyer and seller, and generally do not have as 
much market liquidity as exchange-traded options.  The fund may be 
required to treat as illiquid over-the-counter options purchased and 
securities being used to cover certain written over-the-counter options. 

Options on Securities.  As discussed more generally above, the fund may 
engage in the writing of covered call options. The fund may also purchase 
put options and enter into closing transactions.
 
The principal reason for writing covered call options on securities is to 
attempt to realize, through the receipt of premiums, a greater return than 
would be realized on the securities alone. In return for a premium, the 
writer of a covered call option forfeits the right to any appreciation in 
the value of the underlying security above the strike price for the life 
of the option (or until a closing purchase transaction can be effected). 
Nevertheless, the call writer retains the risk of a decline in the price 
of the underlying security. Similarly, the principal reason for writing 
covered put options is to realize income in the form of premiums. The 
writer of a covered put option accepts the risk of a decline in the price 
of the underlying security. The size of the premiums the fund may receive 
may be adversely affected as new or existing institutions, including other 
investment companies, engage in or increase their option-writing 
activities.
 
Options written by the fund will normally have expiration dates between 
one and six months from the date written. The exercise price of the 
options may be below, equal to or above the current market values of the 
underlying securities at the times the options are written. In the case of 
call options, these exercise prices are referred to as "in-the-money," 
"at-the-money" and "out-of-the-money," respectively.
 
The fund may write (a) in-the-money call options when the manager expects 
the price of the underlying security to remain flat or decline moderately 
during the option period, (b) at-the-money call options when the manager 
expects the price of the underlying security to remain flat or advance 
moderately during the option period and (c) out-of-the-money call options 
when the manager expects that the price of the security may increase but 
not above a price equal to the sum of the exercise price plus the premiums 
received from writing the call option. In any of the preceding situations, 
if the market price of the underlying security declines and the security 
is sold at this lower price, the amount of any realized loss will be 
offset wholly or in part by the premium received. Out-of-the-money, at-
the-money and in-the-money put options (the reverse of call options as to 
the relation of exercise price to market price) may be utilized in the 
same market environments as such call options are used in equivalent 
transactions.

So long as the obligation of the fund as the writer of an option 
continues, the fund may be assigned an exercise notice by the broker-
dealer through which the option was sold, requiring it to deliver, in the 
case of a call, or take delivery of, in the case of a put, the underlying 
security against payment of the exercise price. This obligation terminates 
when the option expires or the fund effects a closing purchase 
transaction. The fund can no longer effect a closing purchase transaction 
with respect to an option once it has been assigned an exercise notice. To 
secure its obligation to deliver the underlying security when it writes a 
call option, or to pay for the underlying security when it writes a put 
option, the fund will be required to deposit in escrow the underlying 
security or other assets in accordance with the rules of the Options 
Clearing Corporation ("Clearing Corporation") or similar clearing 
corporation and the securities exchange on which the option is written.
 
An option position may be closed out only where there exists a secondary 
market for an option of the same series on a recognized securities 
exchange or in the over-the-counter market.  The fund expects to write 
options only on national securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter 
market.  The fund may purchase put options issued by the Clearing 
Corporation or in the over-the-counter market.
 
The fund may realize a profit or loss upon entering into a closing 
transaction. In cases in which the fund has written an option, it will 
realize a profit if the cost of the closing purchase transaction is less 
than the premium received upon writing the original option and will incur 
a loss if the cost of the closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium 
received upon writing the original option. Similarly, when the fund has 
purchased an option and engages in a closing sale transaction, whether it 
recognizes a profit or loss will depend upon whether the amount received 
in the closing sale transaction is more or less than the premium the fund 
initially paid for the original option plus the related transaction costs.
 
Although the fund generally will purchase or write only those options for 
which the manager believes there is an active secondary market so as to 
facilitate closing transactions, there is no assurance that sufficient 
trading interest to create a liquid secondary market on a securities 
exchange will exist for any particular option or at any particular time, 
and for some options no such secondary market may exist. A liquid 
secondary market in an option may cease to exist for a variety of reasons. 
In the past, for example, higher than anticipated trading activity or 
order flow, or other unforeseen events, have at times rendered certain of 
the facilities of the Clearing Corporation and national securities 
exchanges inadequate and resulted in the institution of special 
procedures, such as trading rotations, restrictions on certain types of 
orders or trading halts or suspensions in one or more options. There can 
be no assurance that similar events, or events that may otherwise 
interfere with the timely execution of customers' orders, will not recur. 
In such event, it might not be possible to effect closing transactions in 
particular options. If, as a covered call option writer, the fund is 
unable to effect a closing purchase transaction in a secondary market, it 
will not be able to sell the underlying security until the option expires 
or it delivers the underlying security upon exercise.
 
Securities exchanges generally have established limitations governing the 
maximum number of calls and puts of each class which may be held or 
written, or exercised within certain periods, by an investor or group of 
investors acting in concert (regardless of whether the options are written 
on the same or different securities exchanges or are held, written or 
exercised in one or more accounts or through one or more brokers).  It is 
possible that the fund and other clients of the manager and certain of 
their affiliates may be considered to be such a group.  A securities 
exchange may order the liquidation of positions found to be in violation 
of these limits, and it may impose certain other sanctions.
 
In the case of options written by the fund that are deemed covered by 
virtue of the fund's holding convertible or exchangeable preferred stock 
or debt securities, the time required to convert or exchange and obtain 
physical delivery of the underlying common stocks with respect to which 
the fund has written options may exceed the time within which the fund 
must make delivery in accordance with an exercise notice. In these 
instances, the fund may purchase or temporarily borrow the underlying 
securities for purposes of physical delivery. By so doing, the fund will 
not bear any market risk because the fund will have the absolute right to 
receive from the issuer of the underlying security an equal number of 
shares to replace the borrowed stock, but the fund may incur additional 
transaction costs or interest expenses in connection with any such 
purchase or borrowing.
 
Although the manager will attempt to take appropriate measures to minimize 
the risks relating to the fund's writing of call options and purchasing of 
put and call options, there can be no assurance the fund will succeed in 
its option-writing program.
 
Futures Contracts and Options on Futures Contracts.  As described 
generally above, the fund may invest in stock index futures contracts and 
options on futures contracts traded on a domestic exchange or board of 
trade.  Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and 
purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific security at 
a specified future time and at a specified price.  The primary purpose of 
entering into a futures contract by the fund is to protect the fund from 
fluctuations in the value of securities without actually buying or selling 
the securities.  The fund may enter into futures contracts and options on 
futures to seek higher investment returns when a futures contract is 
priced more attractively than stocks comprising a benchmark index, to 
facilitate trading or to reduce transaction costs.  The fund will only 
enter into futures contracts and options on futures contracts that are 
traded on a domestic exchange and board of trade.  Assets committed to 
futures contracts will be segregated on the fund's books to the extent 
required by law.

The purpose of entering into a futures contract by the fund is to protect 
the fund from fluctuations in the value of securities without actually 
buying or selling the securities. For example, in the case of stock index 
futures contracts, if the fund anticipates an increase in the price of 
stocks it intends to purchase at a later time, the fund could enter into 
contracts to purchase the stock index (known as taking a "long" position) 
as a temporary substitute for the purchase of stocks. If an increase in 
the market occurs influences the stock index as anticipated, the value of 
the futures contracts increases and thereby serves as a hedge against the 
fund's not participating in a market advance. The fund then may close out 
the futures contracts by entering into offsetting futures contracts to 
sell the stock index (known as taking a "short" position) as it purchases 
individual stocks. The fund can accomplish similar results by buying 
securities with long maturities and selling securities with short 
maturities. But by using futures contracts as an investment tool to reduce 
risk, given the greater liquidity in the futures market, it may be 
possible to accomplish the same result more easily and more quickly.
 
No consideration will be paid or received by the fund upon the purchase or 
sale of a futures contract. Initially, the fund will be required to 
deposit with the broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to 
approximately 1% to 10% of the contract amount (this amount is subject to 
change by the exchange or board of trade on which the contract is traded 
and brokers or members of such board of trade may charge a higher amount). 
This amount is known as "initial margin" and is in the nature of a 
performance bond or good faith deposit on the contract which is returned 
to the fund, upon termination of the futures contract, assuming all 
contractual obligations have been satisfied. Subsequent payments, known as 
"variation margin," to and from the broker, will be made daily as the 
price of the index or securities underlying the futures contract 
fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the futures contract 
more or less valuable, a process known as "marking-to-market." In 
addition, when the fund enters into a long position in a futures contract 
or an option on a futures contract, it must deposit into a segregated 
account with the fund's custodian an amount of cash or cash equivalents 
equal to the total market value of the underlying futures contract, less 
amounts held in the fund's commodity brokerage account at its broker. At 
any time prior to the expiration of a futures contract, the fund may elect 
to close the position by taking an opposite position, which will operate 
to terminate the fund's existing position in the contract.
 

	RISK FACTORS 

General.  There can be no assurance that the fund's investment objective 
will be achieved.  The value of the fund's investments will fluctuate in 
response to changes in market and economic conditions, as well as the 
financial condition and prospects of issuers in which the fund invests. 
Foreign Investments.  Investments in foreign securities incur higher costs 
than investments in U.S. securities, including higher costs in making 
securities transactions as well as foreign government taxes which may 
reduce the investment return of the fund.  In addition, foreign 
investments may include additional risks associated with currency exchange 
rates, less complete financial information about individual companies, 
less market liquidity and political instability.

Futures Contracts and Related Options. There are several risks in 
connection with the use of futures contracts as a hedging device. 
Successful use of futures contracts by the fund is subject to the ability 
of the manager to predict correctly movements in the stock market or in 
the direction of interest rates. These predictions involve skills and 
techniques that may be different from those involved in the management of 
investments in securities. In addition, there can be no assurance that 
there will be a perfect correlation between movements in the price of the 
securities underlying the futures contract and movements in the price of 
the securities that are the subject of the hedge. A decision of whether, 
when and how to hedge involves the exercise of skill and judgment, and 
even a well-conceived hedge may be unsuccessful to some degree because of 
market behavior or unexpected trends in market behavior or interest rates.
 
Positions in futures contracts may be closed out only on the exchange on 
which they were entered into (or through a linked exchange) and no 
secondary market exists for those contracts. In addition, although the 
fund intends to enter into futures contracts only if there is an active 
market for the contracts, there is no assurance that an active market will 
exist for the contracts at any particular time. Most futures exchanges and 
boards of trade limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in futures 
contract prices during a single trading day. Once the daily limit has been 
reached in a particular contract, no trades may be made that day at a 
price beyond that limit. It is possible that futures contract prices could 
move to the daily limit for several consecutive trading days with little 
or no trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of futures positions 
and subjecting some futures traders to substantial losses. In such event, 
and in the event of adverse price movements, the fund would be required to 
make daily cash payments of variation margin; in such circumstances, an 
increase in the value of the portion of the portfolio being hedged, if 
any, may partially or completely offset losses on the futures contract. As 
described above, however, no assurance can be given that the price of the 
securities being hedged will correlate with the price movements in a 
futures contract and thus provide an offset to losses on the futures 
contract.

Stock Index Options.  As described generally above, the fund may purchase 
put and call options and write call options on domestic stock indexes 
listed on domestic exchanges in order to realize its investment objective 
of capital appreciation or for the purpose of hedging its portfolio. 

The effectiveness of purchasing or writing stock index options as a 
hedging technique will depend upon the extent to which price movements in 
the portion of the securities portfolio of the fund correlate with price 
movements of the stock index selected. Because the value of an index 
option depends upon movements in the level of the index rather than the 
price of a particular stock, whether the fund will realize a gain or loss 
from the purchase or writing of options on an index depends upon movements 
in the level of stock prices in the stock market generally or, in the case 
of certain indexes, in an industry or market segment, rather than 
movements in the price of a particular stock. Accordingly, successful use 
by the fund of options on stock indexes will be subject to the manager's 
ability to predict correctly movements in the direction of the stock 
market generally or of a particular industry. This requires different 
skills and techniques than predicting changes in the price of individual 
stocks.


	INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The fund has adopted the following fundamental investment restrictions for 
the protection of shareholders.  These restrictions cannot be changed 
without approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of 
the fund, defined as the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the fund's shares 
present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding 
shares are present in person or by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the 
fund's outstanding shares.  In accordance with these restrictions, the 
fund will not:

1.	Invest in a manner that would cause it to fail to be a "diversified 
company" under the 1940 Act and the rules, regulations and orders 
thereunder.

2.	Issue "senior securities" as defined in the 1940 Act and the rules, 
regulations and orders thereunder, except as permitted under the 
1940 Act and the rules, regulations and orders thereunder.

3.	Invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities, the issuers 
of which are in the same industry.  For purposes of this limitation, 
U.S. government securities and securities of state or municipal 
governments and their political subdivisions are not considered to 
be issued by members of any industry.

4.	Borrow money, except that (a) the fund may borrow from banks for 
temporary or emergency (not leveraging) purposes, including the 
meeting of redemption requests which might otherwise require the 
untimely disposition of securities, and (b) the fund may, to the 
extent consistent with its investment policies, enter into reverse 
repurchase agreements, forward roll transactions and similar 
investment strategies and techniques.  To the extent that it engages 
in transactions described in (a) and (b), the fund will be limited 
so that no more than 33 1/3% of the value of its total assets 
(including the amount borrowed), valued at the lesser of cost or 
market, less liabilities (not including the amount borrowed) valued 
at the time the borrowing is made, is derived from such 
transactions.

5.	Make loans.  This restriction does not apply to: (a) the purchase of 
debt obligations in which the fund may invest consistent with its 
investment objectives and policies; (b) repurchase agreements; and 
(c) loans of its portfolio securities, to the fullest extent 
permitted under the 1940 Act.

6.	Engage in the business of underwriting securities issued by other 
persons, except to the extent that the fund may technically be 
deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933, as 
amended, in disposing of portfolio securities.


7.	Purchase or sell real estate, real estate mortgages, commodities or 
commodity contracts, but this restriction shall not prevent the fund 
from (a) investing in securities of issuers engaged in the real 
estate business or the business of investing in real estate 
(including interests in limited partnerships owning or otherwise 
engaging in the real estate business or the business of investing in 
real estate) and securities which are secured by real estate or 
interests therein; (b) holding or selling real estate received in 
connection with securities it holds or held; (c) trading in futures 
contracts and options on futures contracts (including options on 
currencies to the extent consistent with the fund's investment 
objective and policies); or (d) investing in real estate investment 
trust securities.

While the fund is authorized to borrow money from banks for purposes of 
investment (leveraging) and to invest in securities of foreign issuers, it 
has no current intention of engaging in these investment activities and 
will do so only when the fund's Board of Directors determines that either 
or both of these activities are in the best interests of shareholders.

The fund has also adopted certain nonfundamental investment restrictions 
that may be changed by the fund's Board of Directors at any time.  
Accordingly, the fund may not: 

1.	Purchase any securities on margin (except for such short-term 
credits as are necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of 
portfolio securities) or sell any securities short (except "against 
the box").  For purposes of this restriction, the deposit or payment 
by the fund of underlying securities and other assets in escrow and 
collateral agreements with respect to initial or maintenance margin 
in connection with futures contracts and related options and options 
on securities, indexes or similar items is not considered to be the 
purchase of a security on margin.

2.	Invest more than 5% of the value of its net assets in warrants, 
included within that amount, but not to exceed 2% of the value of 
the fund's net assets, may be warrants that are not listed on the 
New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "NYSE") or the American Stock 
Exchange.  Warrants acquired by the fund in units or attached to 
securities may be deemed to be without value.

3.	Invest in mineral-type programs or leases.

4.	Purchase or otherwise acquire any security if' as a result, more 
than 15% of its net assets would be invested in securities that are 
illiquid.

5.	Invest for the purpose of exercising control of management.

6.	Purchase securities of any company with a record of less than three 
years' continuous operation if such purchase would cause its 
investments in such companies to exceed 5% of the value of its total 
assets.  (For purposes of this limitation, issuers include 
predecessors, sponsors, controlling persons, general partners, 
guarantors and originators of underlying assets.)

If any percentage restriction described above is complied with at the time 
of an investment, a later increase or decrease in percentage resulting 
from a change in values or assets will not constitute a violation of such 
restriction.

Investment Adviser and Administrator - SSBC

SSBC (formerly Mutual Management Corp.) serves as investment adviser to 
the Fund pursuant to a written agreement (the "Advisory Agreement"), which 
was approved by the Fund's Board of directors, including a majority of the 
directors who are not interested persons of the Fund or Smith Barney (the 
"independent directors"). Subject to the supervision and direction of the 
fund's board of directors, the manager manages the fund's portfolio in 
accordance with the fund's stated investment objective and policies, makes 
investment decisions for the fund, places orders to purchase and sell 
securities, and employs professional portfolio managers and securities 
analysts who provide research services to the fund.  The manager pays the 
salary of any officer and employee who is employed by both it and the 
trust.  The manager bears all expenses in connection with the performance 
of its services.  SSBC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Salomon Smith 
Barney Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"), which in turn is a wholly owned 
subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. ("Citigroup"). SSBC (through predecessor 
entities) has been in the investment counseling business since 1968 and 
renders investment advice to a wide variety of individual, institutional 
and investment company clients that had aggregate assets under management 
as of March 31, 1999 in excess of $		.

As compensation for SSBC's investment advisory services rendered to the 
Fund, the Fund pays a fee computed daily and paid monthly at the following 
annual rates of the Fund's average daily net assets: 0.55%, up to $250 
million; 0.513% of the next $250 million; 0.476% of the next $500 million; 
0.439% of the next $1 billion, 0.402% of the next $l billion; and 0.365% 
of the net assets in excess of $3 billion.  For the fiscal years ended 
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Fund paid $		, $16,921,518 
and 14,352,911, respectively, in investment advisory fees.

SSBC also serves as administrator to the Fund pursuant to a written (the 
"Administration Agreement"), which was most recently approved by the 
Fund's Board of Directors, including a majority of the independent 
directors of the Fund. SSBC pays the salary of any officer and employee 
who is employed by both it and the Fund and bears all expenses in 
connection with the performance of its services.

As compensation for administrative services rendered to the Fund, SSBC 
receives a fee computed daily and paid monthly at the following annual 
rates: 0.20%, of the value of the Fund's average daily net assets up to 
$250 million; 0.187% of the next $250 million; 0.174% of the next $500 
million; 0.161% of the next $1 billion; 0.148% of the next $1 billion and 
0.135% of the net assets in excess of $3 billion.  For the fiscal years 
ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Fund paid $	
	,$6,212,415, and $5,262,374 in administration fees. 

The Fund bears expenses incurred in its operation including: taxes, 
interest, brokerage fees and commissions, if any; fees of Directors who 
are not officers, directors, shareholders or employees of Salomon Smith 
Barney or SSBC; Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") fees and 
state Blue Sky qualification fees; charges of custodians; transfer and 
dividend disbursing agent's fees; certain insurance premiums; outside 
auditing and legal expenses; costs of maintaining corporate existence; 
investor services (including allocated telephone and personnel expenses); 
costs of preparation and printing of prospectuses and statements of 
additional information for regulatory purposs and for distribution to 
existing shareholders; costs of shareholders' reports and shareholder 
meetings; and meetings of the officers or Board of Directors of the Fund.

Counsel and Auditors

Willkie Farr & Gallagher serves as counsel to the Fund.  The independent 
directors of the Fund have selected Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, LLP to 
serve as their legal counsel.

KPMG LLP, 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154, has been selected as 
the Fund's independent auditor to examine and report on the Fund's 
financial statements and highlights for the fiscal year ending December 
31, 1999.

Custodian and Transfer Agent. 

PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC" or "custodian"), located at 17th 
and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19103, serves as the 
custodian of the fund.  Under its custody agreement with the fund, PNC 
holds the fund's securities and keeps all necessary accounts and records. 
For its services, PNC receives a monthly fee based upon the month-end 
market value of securities held in custody and also receives securities 
transactions charges.  The assets of the fund are held under bank 
custodianship in compliance with the 1940 Act.

First Data Investors Services Group, Inc. ("First Data" or "transfer 
agent"), located at Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, serves 
as the fund's transfer agent.  Under the transfer agency agreement, the 
transfer agent maintains the shareholder account records for the trust, 
handles certain communications between shareholders and the trust and 
distributes dividends and distributions payable by the trust.  For these 
services, the transfer agent receives a monthly fee computed on the basis 
of the number of shareholder accounts it maintains for the trust during 
the month, and is reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses.

Portfolio Transactions 

Decisions to buy and sell securities for the fund are made by the manager, 
subject to the overall review of the fund's Board of Directors.  Although 
investment decisions for the fund are made independently from those of the 
other accounts managed by the manager, investments of the type that the 
fund may make also may be made by those other accounts.  When the fund and 
one or more other accounts managed by the manager are prepared to invest 
in, or desire to dispose of, the same security, available investments or 
opportunities for sales will be allocated in a manner believed by the 
manager to be equitable to each.  In some cases, this procedure may 
adversely affect the price paid or received by the fund or the size of the 
position obtained or disposed of by the fund. 

Allocation of transactions on behalf of the fund, including their 
frequency, to various dealers is determined by the manager in its best 
judgment and in a manner deemed fair and reasonable to the fund's 
shareholders. The primary considerations of the manager in allocating 
transactions are availability of the desired security and the prompt 
execution of orders in an effective manner at the most favorable prices.  
Subject to these considerations, dealers that provide supplemental 
investment research and statistical or other services to the manager may 
receive orders for portfolio transactions by the fund.  Information so 
received is in addition to, and not in lieu of, services required to be 
performed by the manager, and the fees of the manager are not reduced as a 
consequence of their receipt of the supplemental information.  The 
information may be useful to the manager in serving both the fund and 
other clients, and conversely, supplemental information obtained by the 
placement of business of other clients may be useful to the manager in 
carrying out its obligations to the fund.

The fund will not purchase securities during the existence of any 
underwriting or selling group relating to the securities, of which the 
manager is a member, except to the extent permitted by the SEC.  Under 
certain circumstances, the fund may be at a disadvantage because of this 
limitation in comparison with other funds that have similar investment 
objectives but that are not subject to a similar limitation.

The fund has paid the following in brokerage commissions for portfolio 
transactions since its commencement of operations:  $______ in 1997 and 
$______ in 1998.  Portfolio securities transactions on behalf of the fund 
are placed by the manager with a number of brokers and dealers, including 
Salomon Smith Barney.  Salomon Smith Barney has advised the fund that in 
transactions with  the fund, Salomon Smith Barney charges a commission 
rate at least as favorable as the rate that Salomon Smith Barney charges 
its comparable unaffiliated customers in similar transactions.


Portfolio Turnover

The fund generally does not engage in short-term trading but intends to 
purchase securities for long-term capital appreciation.  The fund's annual 
portfolio turnover rate is not expected to exceed 100%.  A portfolio 
turnover rate of 100% would occur if all of the securities in the fund's 
portfolio were replaced once during a period of one year.  The portfolio 
turnover rate is calculated by dividing the lesser of purchases or sales 
of portfolio securities for the year by the monthly average value of 
portfolio securities.  Securities with remaining maturities of one year or 
less at the date of acquisition are excluded from the calculation.  For 
the fiscal years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, the fund's portfolio 
turnover rate was xx% and 62%, respectively.

Future portfolio turnover rates may vary greatly from year to year as well 
as within a particular year and may be affected by cash requirements for 
redemptions of the fund's shares.  Portfolio turnover rates will largely 
depend on the level of purchases and redemptions of fund shares.  Higher 
portfolio turnover rates can result in corresponding increases in 
brokerage commissions.  In addition, to the extent that the fund realizes 
net short-term capital gains as the result of more portfolio transactions, 
distributions of such gains would be taxable to shareholders as ordinary 
income.

*	Purchases of Class A shares of $500,000 or more will be made at net 
asset value without any initial sales charge, but will be subject to 
a DEFERRED SALES CHARGE of 1.00% on redemptions made within 12 
months of purchase. The DEFERRED SALES CHARGE on Class A shares is 
payable to Salomon Smith Barney, which compensates Salomon Smith 
Barney Financial Consultants and other dealers whose clients make 
purchases of $500,000 or more. The DEFERRED SALES CHARGE is waived 
in the same circumstances in which the DEFERRED SALES CHARGE 
applicable to Class B and Class L shares is waived. See "Deferred 
Sales Charge Alternatives" and "Waivers of DEFERRED SALES CHARGE." 


Members of the selling group may receive up to 90% of the sales charge and 
may be deemed to be underwriters of the fund as defined in the 1933 Act.  
The reduced sales charges shown above apply to the aggregate of purchases 
of Class A shares of the fund made at one time by "any person," which 
includes an individual and his or her immediate family, or a trustee or 
other fiduciary of a single trust estate or single fiduciary account.

Class B Shares.  Class B shares are sold without an initial sales charge 
but are subject to a Deferred Sales Charge payable upon certain 
redemptions.  See "Deferred Sales Charge Provisions" below.

Class L Shares.  Class L shares are sold with an initial sales charge of 
1.00% (which is equal to 1.01% of the amount invested) and are subject to 
a deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions.  See "Deferred 
Sales Charge Provisions" below.  Until June 22, 2001 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% initial sales charge.

Class Y Shares.  Class Y shares are sold without an initial sales charge 
or deferred sales charge and are available only to investors investing a 
minimum of $15,000,000 (except purchases of Class Y shares by Smith Barney 
Concert Allocation Series Inc., for which there is no minimum purchase 
amount).  

Class Z Shares.  Class Z Shares are sold without an initial sales charge 
or deferred sales charge and are currently offered exclusively for sale to 
tax-exempt employee benefit and retirement plans of Salomon Smith Barney 
or any of its affiliates ("Qualified Plans") and to certain unit 
investment trusts ("UIT) sponsored by Salomon Smith Barney or any of its 
affiliates.

General 

Investors may purchase shares from a Salomon Smith Barney Financial 
Consultant or a broker that clears through Salomon Smith Barney ("Dealer 
Representative").  In addition, certain investors, including qualified 
retirement plans purchasing through certain Dealer Representatives, may 
purchase shares directly from the fund.  When purchasing shares of the 
fund, investors must specify whether the purchase is for Class A, Class B, 
Class L or Class Y shares.  Salomon Smith Barney and Dealer 
Representatives may charge their customers an annual account maintenance 
fee in connection with a brokerage account through which an investor 
purchases or holds shares.  Accounts held directly at First Data are not 
subject to a maintenance fee.

Purchases of the Fund's Class Z shares must be made in accordance with the 
terms of a Qualified Plan or a Salomon Smith Barney UIT.  There are no 
minimum investment requirements for Class Z shares; however the Fund 
reserves the right to vary this policy at any time.  Shareholders 
acquiring Class Z shares through a Qualified Plan or a Salomon Smith 
Barney UIT should consult the terms of their respective plans for 
redemption provisions. 


Investors in Class A, Class B and Class L shares may open an account in 
the fund by making an initial investment of at least $1,000 for each 
account, or $250 for an IRA or a Self-Employed Retirement Plan, in the 
fund. Investors in Class Y shares may open an account by making an initial 
investment of $15,000,000. Subsequent investments of at least $50 may be 
made for all Classes. For participants in retirement plans qualified under 
Section 403(b)(7) or Section 401(c) of the Code, the minimum initial 
investment required for Class A, Class B and Class L shares and the 
subsequent investment requirement for all Classes in the fund is $25.  For 
shareholders purchasing shares of the fund through the Systematic 
Investment Plan on a monthly basis, the minimum initial investment 
requirement for Class A, Class B and Class L shares and subsequent 
investment requirement for all Classes is $25.  For shareholders 
purchasing shares of the fund through the Systematic Investment Plan on a 
quarterly basis, the minimum initial investment required for Class A, 
Class B and Class L shares and the subsequent investment requirement for 
all Classes is $50.  There are no minimum investment requirements for 
Class A shares for employees of Citigroup and its subsidiaries, including 
Salomon Smith Barney, unitholders who invest distributions from a UIT 
sponsored by Salomon Smith Barney, and Directors/Directors of any of the 
Smith Barney Mutual Funds, and their spouses and children. The fund 
reserves the right to waive or change minimums, to decline any order to 
purchase its shares and to suspend the offering of shares from time to 
time. Shares purchased will be held in the shareholder's account by First 
Data. Share certificates are issued only upon a shareholder's written 
request to First Data. 

Purchase orders received by the fund or a Salomon Smith Barney Financial 
Consultant prior to the close of regular trading on the NYSE, on any day 
the fund calculates its net asset value, are priced according to the net 
asset value determined on that day (the ''trade date'').  Orders received 
by a Dealer Representative prior to the close of regular trading on the 
NYSE on any day the fund calculates its net asset value, are priced 
according to the net asset value determined on that day, provided the 
order is received by the fund or the fund's agent prior to its close of 
business. For shares purchased through Salomon Smith Barney or a Dealer 
Representative purchasing through Salomon Smith Barney, payment for shares 
of the fund is due on the third business day after the trade date. In all 
other cases, payment must be made with the purchase order. 

Systematic Investment Plan.  Shareholders may make additions to their 
accounts at any time by purchasing shares through a service known as the 
Systematic Investment Plan.  Under the Systematic Investment Plan, Salomon 
Smith Barney or First Data is authorized through preauthorized transfers 
of at least $25 on a monthly basis or at least $50 on a quarterly basis to 
charge the shareholder's account held with a bank or other financial 
institution on a monthly or quarterly basis as indicated by the 
shareholder, to provide for systematic additions to the shareholder's fund 
account.  A shareholder who has insufficient funds to complete the 
transfer will be charged a fee of up to $25 by Salomon Smith Barney or 
First Data.  The Systematic Investment Plan also authorizes Salomon Smith 
Barney to apply cash held in the shareholder's Salomon Smith Barney 
brokerage account or redeem the shareholder's shares of a Smith Barney 
money market fund to make additions to the account. Additional information 
is available from the fund or a Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant 
or a Dealer Representative. 

Sales Charge Waivers and Reductions

Initial Sales Charge Waivers.  Purchases of Class A shares may be made at 
net asset value without a sales charge in the following circumstances: (a) 
sales to (i) Board Members and employees of Citigroup and its subsidiaries 
and any Citigroup affiliated funds including the Smith Barney Mutual Funds 
(including retired Board Members and employees); the immediate families of 
such persons (including the surviving spouse of a deceased Board Member or 
employee); and to a pension, profit-sharing or other benefit plan for such 
persons and (ii) employees of members of the National Association of 
Securities Dealers, Inc., provided such sales are made upon the assurance 
of the purchaser that the purchase is made for investment purposes and 
that the securities will not be resold except through redemption or 
repurchase; (b) offers of Class A shares to any other investment company 
to effect the combination of such company with the fund by merger, 
acquisition of assets or otherwise; (c) purchases of Class A shares by any 
client of a newly employed Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant (for 
a period up to 90 days from the commencement of the Financial Consultant's 
employment with Salomon Smith Barney), on the condition the purchase of 
Class A shares is made with the proceeds of the redemption of shares of a 
mutual fund which (i) was sponsored by the Financial Consultant's prior 
employer, (ii) was sold to the client by the Financial Consultant and 
(iii) was subject to a sales charge; (d) purchases by shareholders who 
have redeemed Class A shares in the fund (or Class A shares of another 
Smith Barney Mutual Fund that is offered with a sales charge) and who wish 
to reinvest their redemption proceeds in the fund, provided the 
reinvestment is made within 60 calendar days of the redemption; (e) 
purchases by accounts managed by registered investment advisory 
subsidiaries of Citigroup; (f) direct rollovers by plan participants of 
distributions from a 401(k) plan offered to employees of Citigroup or its 
subsidiaries or a 401(k) plan enrolled in the Smith Barney 401(k) Program 
(Note: subsequent investments will be subject to the applicable sales 
charge); (g) purchases by a separate account used to fund certain 
unregistered variable annuity contracts; (h) investments of distributions 
from a UIT sponsored by Salomon Smith Barney; (i) purchases by investors 
participating in a Salomon Smith Barney fee-based arrangement;  and (j)  
purchases of Class A shares by Section 403(b) or Section 401(a) or (k) 
accounts associated with Copeland Retirement Programs. In order to obtain 
such discounts, the purchaser must provide sufficient information at the 
time of purchase to permit verification that the purchase would qualify 
for the elimination of the sales charge. 

Right of Accumulation.  Class A shares of the fund may be purchased by 
''any person'' (as defined above) at a reduced sales charge or at net 
asset value determined by aggregating the dollar amount of the new 
purchase and the total net asset value of all Class A shares of the fund 
and of other Smith Barney Mutual Funds that are offered with a sales 
charge as currently listed under ''Exchange Privilege'' then held by such 
person and applying the sales charge applicable to such aggregate.  In 
order to obtain such discount, the purchaser must provide sufficient 
information at the time of purchase to permit verification that the 
purchase qualifies for the reduced sales charge.  The right of 
accumulation is subject to modification or discontinuance at any time with 
respect to all shares purchased thereafter. 


Letter of Intent - Class A Shares.  A Letter of Intent for an amount of 
$50,000 or more provides an opportunity for an investor to obtain a 
reduced sales charge by aggregating investments over a 13 month period, 
provided that the investor refers to such Letter when placing orders.  For 
purposes of a Letter of Intent, the ''Amount of Investment'' as referred 
to in the preceding sales charge table includes (i) all Class A shares of 
the fund and other Smith Barney Mutual Funds offered with a sales charge 
acquired during the term of the letter plus (ii) the value of all Class A 
shares previously purchased and still owned.  Each investment made during 
the period receives the reduced sales charge applicable to the total 
amount of the investment goal.  If the goal is not achieved within the 
period, the investor must pay the difference between the sales charges 
applicable to the purchases made and the charges previously paid, or an 
appropriate number of escrowed shares will be redeemed.  The term of the 
Letter will commence upon the date the Letter is signed, or at the options 
of the investor, up to 90 days before such date.  Please contact a Salomon 
Smith Barney Financial Consultant or First Data to obtain a Letter of 
Intent application. 

Letter of Intent - Class Y Shares.  A Letter of Intent may also be used as 
a way for investors to meet the minimum investment requirement for Class Y 
shares (except purchases of Class Y shares by Smith Barney Concert 
Allocation Series Inc., for which there is no minimum purchase amount).  
Such investors must make an initial minimum purchase of $5,000,000 in 
Class Y shares of the fund and agree to purchase a total of $15,000,000 of 
Class Y shares of the fund within 13 months from the date of the Letter. 
If a total investment of $15,000,000 is not made within the 13-month 
period, all Class Y shares purchased to date will be transferred to Class 
A shares, where they will be subject to all fees (including a service fee 
of 0.25%) and expenses applicable to the fund's Class A shares, which may 
include a Deferred Sales Charge of 1.00%. Please contact a Salomon Smith 
Barney Financial Consultant or First Data for further information. 

Deferred Sales Charge Provisions

''Deferred Sales Charge Shares'' are: (a) Class B shares; (b) Class L 
shares; and (c) Class A shares that were purchased without an initial 
sales charge but are subject to a Deferred Sales Charge.  A Deferred Sales 
Charge may be imposed on certain redemptions of these shares.

Any applicable Deferred Sales Charge will be assessed on an amount equal 
to the lesser of the original cost of the shares being redeemed or their 
net asset value at the time of redemption. Deferred Sales Charge Shares 
that are redeemed will not be subject to a Deferred Sales Charge to the 
extent that the value of such shares represents: (a) capital appreciation 
of fund assets; (b) reinvestment of dividends or capital gain 
distributions; (c) with respect to Class B shares, shares redeemed more 
than five years after their purchase; or (d) with respect to Class L 
shares and Class A shares that are Deferred Sales Charge Shares, shares 
redeemed more than 12 months after their purchase. 

Class L shares and Class A shares that are Deferred Sales Charge Shares 
are subject to a 1.00% Deferred Sales Charge if redeemed within 12 months 
of purchase. In circumstances in which the Deferred Sales Charge is 
imposed on Class B shares, the amount of the charge will depend on the 
number of years since the shareholder made the purchase payment from which 
the amount is being redeemed.  Solely for purposes of determining the 
number of years since a purchase payment, all purchase payments made 
during a month will be aggregated and deemed to have been made on the last 
day of the preceding Salomon Smith Barney statement month. The following 
table sets forth the rates of the charge for redemptions of Class B shares 
by shareholders, except in the case of Class B shares held under the Smith 
Barney 401(k) Program, as described below. See ''Smith Barney 401(k) and 
ExecChoiceTM Programs.''

Class B shares will convert automatically to Class A shares eight years 
after the date on which they were purchased and thereafter will no longer 
be subject to any distribution fees. There will also be converted at that 
time such proportion of Class B Dividend Shares owned by the shareholders 
as the total number of his or her Class B shares converting at the time 
bears to the total number of outstanding Class B shares (other than Class 
B Dividend Shares) owned by the shareholder. 

The length of time that Deferred Sales Charge Shares acquired through an 
exchange have been held will be calculated from the date that the shares 
exchanged were initially acquired in one of the other Smith Barney Mutual 
Funds, and fund shares being redeemed will be considered to represent, as 
applicable, capital appreciation or dividend and capital gain distribution 
reinvestments in such other funds. For Federal income tax purposes, the 
amount of the Deferred Sales Charge will reduce the gain or increase the 
loss, as the case may be, on the amount realized on redemption. The amount 
of any Deferred Sales Charge will be paid to Salomon Smith Barney. 

To provide an example, assume an investor purchased 100 Class B shares of 
the fund at $10 per share for a cost of $1,000.  Subsequently, the 
investor acquired 5 additional shares of the fund through dividend 
reinvestment.  During the fifteenth month after the purchase, the investor 
decided to redeem $500 of his or her investment.  Assuming at the time of 
the redemption the net asset value had appreciated to $12 per share, the 
value of the investor's shares would be $1,260 (105 shares at $12 per 
share). The Deferred Sales Charge would not be applied to the amount which 
represents appreciation ($200) and the value of the reinvested dividend 
shares ($60).  Therefore, $240 of the $500 redemption proceeds ($500 minus 
$260) would be charged at a rate of 4.00% (the applicable rate for Class B 
shares) for a total Deferred Sales Charge of $9.60. 

Waivers of Deferred Sales Charge  

The Deferred Sales Charge will be waived on: (a) exchanges (see ''Exchange 
Privilege''); (b) automatic cash withdrawals in amounts equal to or less 
than 1.00% per month of the value of the shareholder's shares at the time 
the withdrawal plan commences (see ''Automatic Cash Withdrawal Plan'') 
(provided, however, that automatic cash withdrawals in amounts equal to or 
less than 2.00% per month of the value of the shareholder's shares will be 
permitted for withdrawal plans that were established prior to November 7, 
1994); (c) redemptions of shares within 12 months following the death or 
disability of the shareholder; (d) redemptions of shares made in 
connection with qualified distributions from retirement plans or IRAs upon 
the attainment of age 591/2; (e) involuntary redemptions; and 
(f) redemptions of shares to effect a combination of the fund with any 
investment company by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise. In 
addition, a shareholder who has redeemed shares from other Smith Barney 
Mutual Funds may, under certain circumstances, reinvest all or part of the 
redemption proceeds within 60 days and receive pro rata credit for any 
Deferred Sales Charge imposed on the prior redemption. 

Deferred Sales Charge waivers will be granted subject to confirmation (by 
Salomon Smith Barney in the case of shareholders who are also Salomon 
Smith Barney clients or by First Data in the case of all other 
shareholders) of the shareholder's status or holdings, as the case may be. 

Smith Barney 401(k) and ExecChoiceTM Programs

Investors may be eligible to participate in the Smith Barney 401(k) 
Program or the Smith Barney ExecChoiceTM Program. To the extent applicable, 
the same terms and conditions, which are outlined below, are offered to 
all plans participating (''Participating Plans'') in these programs. 

The fund offers to Participating Plans Class A and Class L shares as 
investment alternatives under the Smith Barney 401(k) and ExecChoiceTM 
Programs. Class A and Class L shares acquired through the Participating 
Plans are subject to the same service and/or distribution fees as the 
Class A and Class L shares acquired by other investors; however, they are 
not subject to any initial sales charge or Deferred Sales Charge. Once a 
Participating Plan has made an initial investment in the fund, all of its 
subsequent investments in the fund must be in the same Class of shares, 
except as otherwise described below. 

Class A Shares.  Class A shares of the fund are offered without any sales 
charge or Deferred Sales Charge to any Participating Plan that purchases 
$1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of one or more funds of the Smith 
Barney Mutual Funds. 

Class L Shares.  Class L shares of the fund are offered without any sales 
charge or Deferred Sales Charge to any Participating Plan that purchases 
less than $1,000,000 of Class L shares of one or more funds of the Smith 
Barney Mutual Funds. 

401(k) and ExecChoiceTM Plans Opened On or After June 21, 1996.  If, at the 
end of the fifth year after the date the Participating Plan enrolled in 
the Smith Barney 401(k) Program or the Smith Barney ExecChoiceTM Program, a 
Participating Plan's total Class L holdings in all non-money market Smith 
Barney Mutual Funds equal at least $1,000,000, the Participating Plan will 
be offered the opportunity to exchange all of its Class L shares for Class 
A shares of the fund. For Participating Plans that were originally 
established through a Salomon Smith Barney retail brokerage account, the 
five-year period will be calculated from the date the retail brokerage 
account was opened. Such Participating Plans will be notified of the 
pending exchange in writing within 30 days after the fifth anniversary of 
the enrollment date and, unless the exchange offer has been rejected in 
writing, the exchange will occur on or about the 90th day after the fifth 
anniversary date. If the Participating Plan does not qualify for the five-
year exchange to Class A shares, a review of the Participating Plan's 
holdings will be performed each quarter until either the Participating 
Plan qualifies or the end of the eighth year. 

401(k) Plans Opened Prior to June 21, 1996.  In any year after the date a 
Participating Plan enrolled in the Smith Barney 401(k) Program, if a 
Participating Plan's total Class L holdings in all non-money market Smith 
Barney Mutual Funds equal at least $500,000 as of the calendar year-end, 
the Participating Plan will be offered the opportunity to exchange all of 
its Class L shares for Class A shares of the fund. Such Plans will be 
notified in writing within 30 days after the last business day of the 
calendar year and, unless the exchange offer has been rejected in writing, 
the exchange will occur on or about the last business day of the following 
March. 

Any Participating Plan in the Smith Barney 401(k) or the Smith Barney 
ExecChoiceTM Programs, whether opened before or after June 21, 1996, that 
has not previously qualified for an exchange into Class A shares will be 
offered the opportunity to exchange all of its Class L shares for Class A 
shares of the fund, regardless of asset size, at the end of the eighth 
year after the date the Participating Plan enrolled in the Smith Barney 
401(k) Program. Such Plans will be notified of the pending exchange in 
writing approximately 60 days before the eighth anniversary of the 
enrollment date and, unless the exchange has been rejected in writing, the 
exchange will occur on or about the eighth anniversary date. Once an 
exchange has occurred, a Participating Plan will not be eligible to 
acquire additional Class L shares of the fund, but instead may acquire 
Class A shares of the fund. Any Class L shares not converted will continue 
to be subject to the distribution fee. 

Participating Plans wishing to acquire shares of the fund through the 
Smith Barney 401(k) Program or the Smith Barney ExecChoiceTM Program must 
purchase such shares directly from the transfer agent. For further 
information regarding these Programs, investors should contact a Salomon 
Smith Barney Financial Consultant.

Determination of Public Offering Price

The fund offers its shares to the public on a continuous basis.  The 
public offering price for a Class A and Class Y share of the fund is equal 
to the net asset value per share at the time of purchase, plus for Class A 
shares an initial sales charge based on the aggregate amount of the 
investment.  The public offering price for a Class L share (and Class A 
share purchases, including applicable rights of accumulation, equaling or 
exceeding $500,000) is equal to the net asset value per share at the time 
of purchase and no sales charge is imposed at the time of purchase.  A 
Deferred Sales Charge, however, is imposed on certain redemptions of Class 
L shares, and Class A shares when purchased in amounts exceeding $500,000. 
 The method of computation of the public offering price is shown in each 
fund's financial statements, incorporated by reference in their entirety 
into this SAI.


REDEMPTION OF SHARES

The right of redemption of shares of the fund may be suspended or the date 
of payment postponed (a) for any periods during which the NYSE is closed 
(other than for customary weekend and holiday closings), (b) when trading 
in the markets the fund normally utilizes is restricted, or an emergency 
exists, as determined by the SEC, so that disposal of the fund's 
investments or determination of its net asset value is not reasonably 
practicable or (c) for any other periods as the SEC by order may permit 
for the protection of the fund's shareholders.

If the shares to be redeemed were issued in certificate form, the 
certificates must be endorsed for transfer (or be accompanied by an 
endorsed stock power) and must be submitted to First Data together with 
the redemption request.  Any signature appearing on a share certificate, 
stock power or written redemption request in excess of $10,000 must be 
guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution such as a domestic bank, 
savings and loan institution, domestic credit union, member bank of the 
Federal Reserve System or member firm of a national securities exchange.  
Written redemption requests of $10,000 or less do not require a signature 
guarantee unless more than one such redemption request is made in any 
10-day period or the redemption proceeds are to be sent to an address 
other than the address of record.  Unless otherwise directed, redemption 
proceeds will be mailed to an investor's address of record.  First Data 
may require additional supporting documents for redemptions made by 
corporations, executors, administrators, directors or guardians.  A 
redemption request will not be deemed properly received until First Data 
receives all required documents in proper form.

If a shareholder holds shares in more than one Class, any request for 
redemption must specify the Class being redeemed.  In the event of a 
failure to specify which Class, or if the investor owns fewer shares of 
the Class than specified, the redemption request will be delayed until the 
Transfer Agent receives further instructions from Salomon Smith Barney, or 
if the shareholder's account is not with Salomon Smith Barney, from the 
shareholder directly.  The redemption proceeds will be remitted on or 
before the third business day following receipt of proper tender, except 
on any days on which the NYSE is closed or as permitted under the 1940 
Act, in extraordinary circumstances.  Generally, if the redemption 
proceeds are remitted to a Salomon Smith Barney brokerage account, these 
funds will not be invested for the shareholder's benefit without specific 
instruction and Salomon Smith Barney will benefit from the use of 
temporarily uninvested funds.  Redemption proceeds for shares purchased by 
check, other than a certified or official bank check, will be remitted 
upon clearance of the check, which may take up to ten days or more.

Qualified Plans may redeem Class Z shares on any day the Fund calculates 
its net asset value. 

Distribution in Kind

If the board of directors of the trust determines that it would be 
detrimental to the best interests of the remaining shareholders to make a 
redemption payment wholly in cash, the fund may pay, in accordance with 
SEC rules, any portion of a redemption in excess of the lesser of $250,000 
or 1.00% of the fund's net assets by a distribution in kind of portfolio 
securities in lieu of cash. Shareholders may incur brokerage commissions 
when they subsequently sell those securities.

Automatic Cash Withdrawal Plan

An automatic cash withdrawal plan (the "Withdrawal Plan") is available to 
shareholders of the fund who own shares of the fund with a value of at 
least $10,000 and who wish to receive specific amounts of cash monthly or 
quarterly.  Withdrawals of at least $50 may be made under the Withdrawal 
Plan by redeeming as many shares of the fund as may be necessary to cover 
the stipulated withdrawal payment.  Any applicable Deferred Sales Charge 
will not be waived on amounts withdrawn by shareholders that exceed 1.00% 
per month of the value of a shareholder's shares at the time the 
Withdrawal Plan commences.  (With respect to Withdrawal Plans in effect 
prior to November 7, 1994, any applicable Deferred Sales Charge will be 
waived on amounts withdrawn that do not exceed 2.00% per month of the 
value of a shareholder's shares at the time the Withdrawal Plan 
commences).  To the extent that withdrawals exceed dividends, 
distributions and appreciation of a shareholder's investment in a fund, 
continued withdrawal payments will reduce the shareholder's investment, 
and may ultimately exhaust it.  Withdrawal payments should not be 
considered as income from investment in a fund.  Furthermore, as it 
generally would not be advantageous to a shareholder to make additional 
investments in the fund at the same time he or she is participating in the 
Withdrawal Plan, purchases by such shareholders in amounts of less than 
$5,000 ordinarily will not be permitted.

Shareholders of a fund who wish to participate in the Withdrawal Plan and 
who hold their shares of the fund in certificate form must deposit their 
share certificates with the transfer agent as agent for Withdrawal Plan 
members.  All dividends and distributions on shares in the Withdrawal Plan 
are reinvested automatically at net asset value in additional shares of 
the fund involved.  A shareholder who purchases shares directly through 
the transfer agent may continue to do so and applications for 
participation in the Withdrawal Plan must be received by the transfer 
agent no later than the eighth day of the month to be eligible for 
participation beginning with that month's withdrawal.  For additional 
information, shareholders should contact a Salomon Smith Barney Financial 
Consultant.

Waivers of Deferred Sales Charge

The Deferred Sales Charge will be waived on: (a) exchanges (see "Exchange 
Privilege" in the prospectus); (b) automatic cash withdrawals in amounts 
equal to or less than 1.00% per month of the value of the shareholder's 
shares at the time the withdrawal plan commences (see "Automatic Cash 
Withdrawal Plan in the prospectus") (provided, however, that automatic 
cash withdrawals in amounts equal to or less than 2.00% per month of the 
value of the shareholder's shares will be permitted for withdrawal plans 
that were established prior to November 7, 1994); (c) redemptions of 
shares within 12 months following the death or disability of the 
shareholder; (d) redemptions of shares made in connection with qualified 
distributions from retirement plans or IRAs upon the attainment of age 591/2 
; (e) involuntary redemptions; and (f) redemptions of shares to effect a 
combination of the fund with any investment company by merger, acquisition 
of assets or otherwise.  In addition, a shareholder who has redeemed 
shares from other Smith Barney Mutual funds may, under certain 
circumstances, reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds within 60 
days and receive pro rata credit for any Deferred Sales Charge imposed on 
the prior redemption.  Deferred Sales Charge waivers will be granted 
subject to confirmation (by Salomon Smith Barney in the case of 
shareholders who are also Salomon Smith Barney clients or by the transfer 
agent in the case of all other shareholders) of the shareholder's status 
or holdings, as the case may be.

Additional Information Regarding Telephone Redemption And Exchange Program

Neither the fund nor its agents will be liable for following instructions 
communicated by telephone that are reasonably believed to be genuine.  The 
fund and its agents will employ procedures designed to verify the identity 
of the caller and legitimacy of instructions (for example, a shareholder's 
name and account number will be required and phone calls may be recorded). 
 The fund reserves the right to suspend, modify or discontinue the 
telephone redemption and exchange program or to impose a charge for this 
service at any time following at least seven (7) days' prior notice to 
shareholders.

DISTRIBUTOR

CFBDS, Inc. serves as the fund's distributor pursuant to a written 
agreement dated October 8, 1998 (the "Distribution Agreement") which was 
approved by the fund's Board of Directors, including a majority of the 
independent directors on July 15, 1998.  Prior to the merger of Travelers 
Group, Inc. and Citicorp Inc. on October 8, 1998, Salomon Smith Barney 
served as the fund's distributor.  For the 1996, 1997 and 1998 fiscal 
years, Salomon Smith Barney, received $500,000, $115,000 and __________, 
respectively, in sales charges from the sale of Class A shares, and did 
not reallow any portion thereof to dealers.  For the fiscal years ended 
October 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, Salomon Smith Barney or its predecessor 
received from shareholders $119,000, $201,000 and $_________, 
respectively, in Deferred Sales Charge on the redemption of Class B and 
Class L shares.

PFS Distributors, located at 3100 Breckinridge Blvd., Building 200, Duluth, 
Georgia 30199-0062, also, serves as one of the Fund's distributors on a 
best efforts basis requiring PFS Distributors to take and pay for only 
such securities as may be sold to the public pursuant to a Distribution 
Agreement.  The only classes of shares being offered for sale through PFS 
Distributors are Class A shares and Class B shares.  

When payment is made by the investor before the settlement date, unless 
otherwise noted by the investor, the funds will be held as a free credit 
balance in the investor's brokerage account and Salomon Smith Barney may 
benefit from the temporary use of the funds.  The fund's Board of 
Directors has been advised of the benefits to Salomon Smith Barney 
resulting from these settlement procedures and will take such benefits 
into consideration when reviewing the Investment Advisory and Distribution 
Agreements for continuance.

Distribution Arrangements.  To compensate Salomon Smith Barney for the 
services it provides and for the expense it bears under the Distribution 
Agreement, the fund has adopted a services and distribution plan (the 
"Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.  Under the Plan, the 
fund pays Salomon Smith Barney a service fee, accrued daily and paid 
monthly, calculated at the annual rate of 0.25% of the value of the fund's 
average daily net assets attributable to the Class A, Class B and Class L 
shares.  In addition, the fund pays Salomon Smith Barney a distribution 
fee with respect to the Class B and Class L shares primarily intended to 
compensate Salomon Smith Barney for its initial expense of paying 
financial consultants a commission upon sales of those shares.  The Class 
B and Class L distribution fee is calculated at the annual rate of 0.75% 
of the value of the fund's average daily net assets attributable to the 
shares of the respective class.

The only classes of shares being offered for sale through PFS Distributors 
are Class A shares and Class B shares. Pursuant to the Plan (described 
above), PFS Distributors is paid an annual service fee with respect to 
Class A and Class B shares of the fund sold through PFS Distributors at 
the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the respective 
class.  PFS Distributors is also paid an annual distribution fee with 
respect to Class B shares at the annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily 
net assets attributable to that Class.  Class B shares that automatically 
convert to Class A shares eight years after the date of original purchase 
will no longer be subject to a distribution fee. The fees are paid to PFS 
Distributors, which in turn, pays PFS Investments Inc. ("PFS Investments") 
to pay its Investment Registered Representatives for servicing shareholder 
accounts and, in the case of Class B shares, to cover expenses primarily 
intended to result in the sale of those shares.  These expenses include: 
advertising expenses; the cost of printing and mailing prospectuses to 
potential investors; payments to and expenses of Investments Registered 
Representatives and other persons who provide support services in 
connection with the distribution of shares; interest and/or carrying 
charges; and indirect and overhead costs of PFS Investments associated 
with the sale of fund shares, including lease, utility, communications and 
sales promotion expenses.

The payments to PFS Investments Registered Representatives for selling 
shares of a class include a commission or fee paid by the investor or PFS 
at the time of sale and, with respect to Class A and Class B shares, a 
continuing fee for servicing shareholder accounts for as long as a 
shareholder remains a holder of that class.  PFS Investments Registered 
Representatives may receive different levels of compensation for selling 
different classes of shares.

PFS Investments may be deemed to be an underwriter for purposes of the 
Securities Act of 1933. From time to time, PFS or its affiliates may also 
pay for certain non-cash sales incentives provided to PFS Investments 
Registered Representatives.  Such incentives do not have any effect on the 
net amount invested.  In addition to the reallowances from the applicable 
public offering price described above, PFS may from time to time, pay or 
allow additional reallowances or promotional incentives, in the form of 
cash or other compensation to PFS Investments Registered Representatives 
that sell shares of the fund.

The following service and distribution fees were incurred during the 
periods indicated:

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, Salomon Smith Barney and/or 
PFS Distributors incurred distribution expenses totaling approximately $
		 for advertising, printing and mailing of Prospectuses, 
support services, to Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultants, and in 
accruals for interest on the excess of Salomon Smith Barney expenses 
incurred in distribution of the Fund's shares over the sum of the 
distribution fees and deferred sales charges received by Salomon Smith 
Barney and/or PFS Distributors from the Fund.

Under its terms, the Plan continues from year to year, provided such 
continuance is approved annually by vote of the fund's Board of Directors, 
including a majority of the independent directors. The Plan may not be 
amended to increase the amount of the service and distribution fees 
without shareholder approval, and all amendments of the Plan also must be 
approved by the directors and independent directors in the manner 
described above.  The Plan may be terminated with respect to a class of 
the fund at any time, without penalty, by vote of a majority of the 
independent directors or by vote of a majority (as defined in the 1940 
Act) of the outstanding voting securities of the class. Pursuant to the 
Plan, Salomon Smith Barney and PFS Distributors will provide the fund's 
Board of Directors with periodic reports of amounts expended under the 
Plan and the purpose for which such expenditures were made.


VALUATION OF SHARES

The net asset value per share of the fund's Classes is calculated on each 
day, Monday through Friday, except days on which the NYSE is closed.  The 
NYSE currently is scheduled to be closed on New Year's Day, Martin Luther 
King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence 
Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and on the preceding Friday or 
subsequent Monday when one of these holidays falls on a Saturday or 
Sunday, respectively.  Because of the differences in distribution fees and 
Class-specific expenses, the per share net asset value of each Class may 
differ.  The following is a description of the procedures used by the 
trust in valuing its assets.

Securities listed on a national securities exchange will be valued on the 
basis of the last sale on the date on which the valuation is made or, in 
the absence of sales, at the mean between the closing bid and asked 
prices.  Over-the-counter securities will be valued at the mean between 
the closing bid and asked prices on each day, or, if market quotations for 
those securities are not readily available, at fair value, as determined 
in good faith by the fund's board of directors.  Short-term obligations 
with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which 
constitutes fair value as determined by the fund's board of directors.  
Amortized cost involves valuing an instrument at its original cost to the 
fund and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any 
discount or premium, regardless of the effect of fluctuating interest 
rates on the market value of the instrument.  All other securities and 
other assets of the fund will be valued at fair value as determined in 
good faith by the fund's board of directors.

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE

Shareholders of any of the Smith Barney Mutual funds may exchange all or 
part of their shares for shares of the same Class of other Smith Barney 
Mutual funds, on the basis of relative net asset value per share at the 
time of exchange as follows: 

A.  Class A and Class Y shares of the fund may be exchanged without a 
sales charge for the respective shares of any of the Smith Barney 
Mutual funds.

B. Class B shares of any fund may be exchanged without a sales 
charge.  Class B shares of the Fund exchanged for Class B shares of 
another Smith Barney Mutual Fund will be subject to the higher 
applicable Deferred Sales Charge of the two funds and, for purposes 
of calculating Deferred Sales Charge rates and conversion periods, 
will be deemed to have been held since the date the shares being 
exchanged were deemed to be purchased.

C. Class L shares of any fund may be exchanged without a sales 
charge.  For purposes of Deferred Sales Charge applicability, Class 
L shares of the fund exchanged for Class C shares of another Smith 
Barney Mutual fund will be deemed to have been owned since the date 
the shares being exchanged were deemed to be purchased.

D. Holders of Class Z shares should consult their Qualified Plans 
for information about available exchange options. 


The exchange privilege enables shareholders in any Smith Barney Mutual 
fund to acquire shares of the same Class in a fund with different 
investment objectives when they believe a shift between funds is an 
appropriate investment decision.  This privilege is available to 
shareholders residing in any state in which the fund shares being acquired 
may legally be sold.  Prior to any exchange, the shareholder should obtain 
and review a copy of the current prospectus of each fund into which an 
exchange is being considered.  Prospectuses may be obtained from a Salomon 
Smith Barney Financial Consultant.

Upon receipt of proper instructions and all necessary supporting 
documents, shares submitted for exchange are redeemed at the then-current 
net asset value and, subject to any applicable Deferred Sales Charge, the 
proceeds are immediately invested, at a price as described above, in 
shares of the fund being acquired.  Salomon Smith Barney reserves the 
right to reject any exchange request.  The exchange privilege may be 
modified or terminated at any time after written notice to shareholders.

Additional Information Regarding the Exchange Privilege.  Although the 
exchange privilege is an important benefit, excessive exchange 
transactions can be detrimental to the fund's performance and its 
shareholders.  The manager may determine that a pattern of frequent 
exchanges is excessive and contrary to the best interests of the fund's 
other shareholders.  In this event, the fund may, at its discretion, 
decide to limit additional purchases and/or exchanges by a shareholder.  
Upon such a determination, the fund will provide notice in writing or by 
telephone to the shareholder at least 15 days prior to suspending the 
exchange privilege and during the 15 day period the shareholder will be 
required to (a) redeem his or her shares in the fund or (b) remain 
invested in the fund or exchange into any of the funds of the Smith Barney 
Mutual funds ordinarily available, which position the shareholder would be 
expected to maintain for a significant period of time.  All relevant 
factors will be considered in determining what constitutes an abusive 
pattern of exchanges.

PERFORMANCE DATA

From time to time the fund may advertise its total return and average 
annual total return in advertisements and/or other types of sales 
literature.  These figures are computed separately for Class A, Class B, 
Class L, Class Y and Class Z shares of the fund.  These figures are based 
on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future 
performance.  Total return is computed for a specified period of time 
assuming deduction of the maximum sales charge, if any, from the initial 
amount invested and reinvestment of all income dividends and capital gain 
distributions on the reinvestment dates at prices calculated as stated in 
this prospectus, then dividing the value of the investment at the end of 
the period so calculated by the initial amount invested and subtracting 
100%.  The standard average annual total return, as prescribed by the SEC 
is derived from this total return, which provides the ending redeemable 
value.  Such standard total return information may also be accompanied 
with nonstandard total return information for differing periods computed 
in the same manner but without annualizing the total return or taking 
sales charges into account.  The fund may also include comparative 
performance information in advertising or marketing its shares.  Such 
performance information may include data from Lipper Analytical Services, 
Inc. and other financial publications.

From time to time, the trust may quote a fund's yield or total return in 
advertisements or in reports and other communications to shareholders.  
The trust may include comparative performance information in advertising 
or marketing the fund's shares.  Such performance information may include 
the following industry and financial publications- Barron's, Business 
Week, CDA Investment Technologies, Inc., Changing Times, Forbes, Fortune, 
Institutional Investor, Investors Daily, Money, Morningstar Mutual Fund 
Values, The New York Times, USA Today and The Wall Street Journal.  To the 
extent any advertisement or sales literature of the fund describes the 
expenses or performance of any Class it will also disclose such 
information for the other Classes.

Average Annual Total Return 

A fund's "average annual total return," as described below, is computed 
according to a formula prescribed by the SEC.  The formula can be 
expressed as follows:

P(1 + T)n = ERV

	Where:	P	= 	a hypothetical initial payment 
of $1,000.

			T	= 	average annual total return.

			n	= 	number of years.

			ERV	=	Ending Redeemable Value of a 
hypothetical $1,000 investment made at 
the beginning of a 1-, 5- or 10-year 
period at the end of a 1-, 5- or 10-
year period (or fractional portion 
thereof), assuming reinvestment of all 
dividends and distributions.

The ERV assumes complete redemption of the hypothetical investment at the 
end of the measuring period.  A fund's net investment income changes in 
response to fluctuations in interest rates and the expenses of the fund.

Class A's average annual total return was as follows for the periods 
indicated:

__.__% for the one-year period ended December 31, 1998
__.__% per annum during the five-year period ended December 31, 1998
__.__% per annum during the ten-year period ended December 31, 1998

The average annual total return figures assume that the maximum 5.00% 
sales charge has been deducted from the investment at the time of 
purchase.  If the maximum sales charge had not been deducted, Class A's 
average annual total return for those same periods would have been __.__%, 
__.__% and __.__%, respectively.

Class B's average annual total return was as follows for the periods 
indicated:

__.__% for the one-year period ended December 31, 1998
__.__% per annum during the five-year period ended December 31, 1998
__.__% for the period from inception (November 6, 1992) through December 
31, 1998

The average annual total return figures assume that the maximum applicable 
deferred sales charge has been deducted from the investment at the time of 
redemption.  If the maximum deferred sales charge had not been deducted, 
Class B's average annual total return for those same periods would have 
been __.__%, __.__% and ____%, respectively.

Class L's average annual total return was as follows for the periods 
indicated:

__.__% for the one-year period ended December 31, 1998
__.__% per annum during the five-year period ended December 31, 1998
__.__% for the period from inception (February 4, 1993) through December 
31, 1998

The average annual total return figures assume that the maximum applicable 
deferred sales charge has been deducted from the investment at the time of 
redemption.  If the maximum deferred sales charge had not been deducted, 
Class L's average annual total return for those same periods would have 
been __.__%, __.__%  and __.__%, respectively.

Class Y's average annual total return was as follows for the period 
indicated:

__.__% for the one-year period ended December 31,1998
__.__% for the period from inception (January 30, 1996) through December 
31,1998

Class Y shares do not incur sales charges nor deferred sales charges.

Class Z's average annual total return was as follows for the periods 
indicated:

__.__% for the one-year period ended December 31,1998
__.__% per annum during the five-year period ended December 31, 1998
__.__% for the period from inception (November 6, 1992) through December 
31, 1998

Class Z shares do not incur sales charges or deferred sales charges.

Aggregate Total Return

The fund's "aggregate total return," as described below, represents the 
cumulative change in the value of an investment in the fund for the 
specified period and is computed by the following formula:

ERV - P
P

	Where: 	P 	=		a hypothetical initial payment of 
$10,000.

			ERV	=		Ending Redeemable Value of a hypothetical 
$10,000 investment made at the beginning of 
the 1-, 5- or 10-year period at the end of 
the 1-, 5- or 10-year period (or fractional 
portion thereof), assuming reinvestment of 
all dividends and distributions.
The ERV assumes complete redemption of the hypothetical investment at the 
end of the measuring period.

Class A's aggregate total return was as follows for the periods indicated:

__.__% for the one-year period ended December 31, 1998
__.__% for the five-year period ended December 31, 1998
__.__% for the ten-year period ended December 31, 1998

These aggregate total return figures assume the maximum 5.00% sales charge 
has been deducted from the investment at the time of purchase.  If the 
maximum sales charge had not been deducted, Class A's aggregate total 
return for those same periods would have been __.__%, __.__% and ___.__% 
respectively.

Class B's aggregate total return was as follows for the periods indicated:

__.__% for the one-year period ended December 31, 1998
__.__% for the five-year period ended December 31, 1998
__.__% for the period from inception (November 6, 1992) through December 
31, 1998.

These aggregate total return figures assume that the maximum applicable 
deferred sales charge has been deducted from the investment at the time of 
redemption.  If the maximum applicable deferred sales charge had not been 
deducted, Class B's aggregate total return for those same periods would 
have been __.__%, __.__% and ___.__%, respectively.


Class L's aggregate total return was as follows for the periods indicated:

__.__% for the one-year period ended December 31, 1998
__.__% for the five-year period ended December 31, 1998
__.__% for the period from inception (February 4, 1993) through December 
31, 1998

These aggregate total return figures assume that the maximum applicable 
deferred sales charge has been deducted from the investment at the time of 
redemption If the maximum applicable deferrec sales charge had not been 
deducted, Class L's aggregate total return for those same periods would 
have been __.__%, __.__% and __.__%, respectively.

Class Y's average annual total return was as follows for the period 
indicated:

__.__% for the one-year period ended December 31, 1998
__.__% for the period from inception (January 30, 1996) through December 
31,1998


Class Y shares do not incur sales charges or deferred sales charges.
Class Z's average annual total return was as follows for the periods 
indicated:

__.__% for the one-year period ended December 31, 1998
___.__% for the five-year period ended December 31, 1998
___.__% for the period from inception (November 6, 1992) through December 
31, 1997

Class Z shares do not incur sales charges or deferred sales charges.

Performance will vary from time to time depending upon market conditions, 
the composition of the fund's portfolio and operating expenses and the 
expenses exclusively attributable to the Class.  Consequently, any given 
performance quotation should not be considered representative of the 
Class's performance for any specified period in the future.  Because 
performance will vary, it may not provide a basis for comparing an 
investment in the Class with certain bank deposits or other investments 
that pay a fixed yield for a stated period of time.  Investors comparing a 
Class's performance with that of other mutual funds should give 
consideration to the quality and maturity of the respective investment 
companies' portfolio securities.

TAXES 

The following is a summary of the material United States federal income 
tax considerations regarding the purchase, ownership and disposition of 
shares of a fund.  Each prospective shareholder is urged to consult his 
own tax adviser with respect to the specific federal, state, local and 
foreign tax consequences of investing in a fund.  The summary is based on 
the laws in effect on the date of this SAI, which are subject to change.

The Fund and Its Investments

The fund intends to continue to qualify to be treated as a regulated 
investment company each taxable year under the Internal Revenue Code of 
1986, as amended (the "Code").  To so qualify, the fund must, among other 
things: (a) derive at least 90% of its gross income in each taxable year 
from dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities, loans and 
gains from the sale or other disposition of stock or securities or foreign 
currencies, or other income (including, but not limited to, gains from 
options, futures or forward contracts) derived with respect to its 
business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies; and (b) 
diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each quarter of the fund's 
taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the market value of the fund's assets is 
represented by cash, securities of other regulated investment companies, 
United States government securities and other securities, with such other 
securities limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount not greater 
than 5% of the fund's assets and not greater than 10% of the outstanding 
voting securities of such issuer and (ii) not more than 25% of the value 
of its assets is invested in the securities (other than United States 
government securities or securities of other regulated investment 
companies) of any one issuer or any two or more issuers that the fund 
controls and are determined to be engaged in the same or similar trades or 
businesses or related trades or businesses.  The fund expects that all of 
its foreign currency gains will be directly related to its principal 
business of investing in stocks and securities.

As a regulated investment company, the fund will not be subject to United 
States federal income tax on its net investment income (i.e., income other 
than its net realized long- and short-term capital gains) and its net 
realized long- and short-term capital gains, if any, that it distributes 
to its shareholders, provided that an amount equal to at least 90% of the 
sum of its investment company taxable income (i.e., 90% of its taxable 
income minus the excess, if any, of its net realized long-term capital 
gains over its net realized short-term capital losses (including any 
capital loss carryovers), plus or minus certain other adjustments as 
specified in the Code) and its net tax-exempt income for the taxable year 
is distributed in compliance with the Code's timing and other requirements 
but will be subject to tax at regular corporate rates on any taxable 
income or gains that it does not distribute. Furthermore, the fund will be 
subject to a United States corporate income tax with respect to such 
distributed amounts in any year that it fails to qualify as a regulated 
investment company or fails to meet this distribution requirement.

The Code imposes a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the fund to the extent 
it does not distribute by the end of any calendar year at least 98% of its 
net investment income for that year and 98% of the net amount of its 
capital gains (both long-and short-term) for the one-year period ending, 
as a general rule, on October 31 of that year.  For this purpose, however, 
any income or gain retained by the fund that is subject to corporate 
income tax will be considered to have been distributed by year-end.  In 
addition, the minimum amounts that must be distributed in any year to 
avoid the excise tax will be increased or decreased to reflect any 
underdistribution or overdistribution, as the case may be, from the 
previous year. The fund anticipates that it will pay such dividends and 
will make such distributions as are necessary in order to avoid the 
application of this tax.

If, in any taxable year, the fund fails to qualify as a regulated 
investment company under the Code or fails to meet the distribution 
requirement, it would be taxed in the same manner as an ordinary 
corporation and distributions to its shareholders would not be deductible 
by the fund in computing its taxable income.  In addition, in the event of 
a failure to qualify, the fund's distributions, to the extent derived from 
the fund's current or accumulated earnings and profits would constitute 
dividends (eligible for the corporate dividends-received deduction) which 
are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income, even though those 
distributions might otherwise (at least in part) have been treated in the 
shareholders' hands as long-term capital gains.  If the fund fails to 
qualify as a regulated investment company in any year, it must pay out its 
earnings and profits accumulated in that year in order to qualify again as 
a regulated investment company.  In addition, if the fund failed to 
qualify as a regulated investment company for a period greater than one 
taxable year, the fund may be required to recognize any net built-in gains 
(the excess of the aggregate gains, including items of income, over 
aggregate losses that would have been realized if it had been liquidated) 
in order to qualify as a regulated investment company in a subsequent 
year.

The fund's transactions in foreign currencies, forward contracts, options 
and futures contracts (including options and futures contracts on foreign 
currencies) will be subject to special provisions of the Code (including 
provisions relating to "hedging transactions" and "straddles") that, among 
other things, may affect the character of gains and losses realized by the 
fund (i.e., may affect whether gains or losses are ordinary or capital), 
accelerate recognition of income to the fund and defer fund losses.  These 
rules could therefore affect the character, amount and timing of 
distributions to shareholders.  These provisions also (a) will require the 
fund to mark-to-market certain types of the positions in its portfolio 
(i.e., treat them as if they were closed out) and (b) may cause the fund 
to recognize income without receiving cash with which to pay dividends or 
make distributions in amounts necessary to satisfy the distribution 
requirements for avoiding income and excise taxes.  The fund will monitor 
its transactions, will make the appropriate tax elections and will make 
the appropriate entries in its books and records when it acquires any 
foreign currency, forward contract, option, futures contract or hedged 
investment in order to mitigate the effect of these rules and prevent 
disqualification of the fund as a regulated investment company.

The fund's investment in Section 1256 contracts, such as regulated futures 
contracts, most forward currency forward contracts traded in the interbank 
market and options on most stock indices, are subject to special tax 
rules.  All section 1256 contracts held by the fund at the end of its 
taxable year are required to be marked to their market value, and any 
unrealized gain or loss on those positions will be included in the fund's 
income as if each position had been sold for its fair market value at the 
end of the taxable year. The resulting gain or loss will be combined with 
any gain or loss realized by the fund from positions in section 1256 
contracts closed during the taxable year.  Provided such positions were 
held as capital assets and were not part of a "hedging transaction" nor 
part of a "straddle," 60% of the resulting net gain or loss will be 
treated as long-term capital gain or loss, and 40% of such net gain or 
loss will be treated as short-term capital gain or loss, regardless of the 
period of time the positions were actually held by the fund.

Foreign Investments.  Dividends or other income (including, in some cases, 
capital gains) received by the fund from investments in foreign securities 
may be  subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign 
countries.  Tax conventions between certain countries and the United 
States may reduce or eliminate such taxes in some cases.  The fund will 
not be eligible to elect to treat any foreign taxes paid by it as paid by 
its shareholders, who therefore will not be entitled to credits for such 
taxes on their own tax returns.  Foreign taxes paid by the fund will 
reduce the return from the fund's investments.  

Passive Foreign Investment Companies.  If the fund purchases shares in 
certain foreign investment entities, called "passive foreign investment 
companies" (a "PFIC"), it may be subject to United States federal income 
tax on a portion of any "excess distribution" or gain from the disposition 
of such shares even if such income is distributed as a taxable dividend by 
the fund to its shareholders. Additional charges in the nature of interest 
may be imposed on the fund in respect of deferred taxes arising from such 
distributions or gains.  If the fund were to invest in a PFIC and elected 
to treat the PFIC as a "qualified electing fund" under the Code, in lieu 
of the foregoing requirements, the fund might be required to include in 
income each year a portion of the ordinary earnings and net capital gains 
of the qualified electing fund, even if not distributed to the fund, and 
such amounts would be subject to the 90% and excise tax distribution 
requirements described above.  In order to make this election, the fund 
would be required to obtain certain annual information from the passive 
foreign investment companies in which it invests, which may be difficult 
or not possible to obtain.

Recently, legislation was enacted that provides a mark-to-market election 
for regulated investment companies effective for taxable years beginning 
after December 31, 1997.  This election would result in the fund being 
treated as if it had sold and repurchased all of the PFIC stock at the end 
of each year.  In this case, the fund would report gains as ordinary 
income and would deduct losses as ordinary losses to the extent of 
previously recognized gains.  The election, once made, would be effective 
for all subsequent taxable years of the fund, unless revoked with the 
consent of the IRS. By making the election, the fund could potentially 
ameliorate the adverse tax consequences with respect to its ownership of 
shares in a PFIC, but in any particular year may be required to recognize 
income in excess of the distributions it receives from PFICs and its 
proceeds from dispositions of PFIC company stock.  The fund may have to 
distribute this "phantom" income and gain to satisfy its distribution 
requirement and to avoid imposition of the 4% excise tax.  The fund will 
make the appropriate tax elections, if possible, and take any additional 
steps that are necessary to mitigate the effect of these rules.

Taxation of United States Shareholders

Dividends and Distributions.  Any dividend declared by the fund in 
October, November or December of any calendar year and payable to 
shareholders of record on a specified date in such a month shall be deemed 
to have been received by each shareholder on December 31 of such calendar 
year and to have been paid by the fund not later than such December 31, 
provided that such dividend is actually paid by the fund during January of 
the following calendar year.  The fund intends to distribute annually to 
its shareholders substantially all of its investment company taxable 
income, and any net realized long-term capital gains in excess of net 
realized short-term capital losses (including any capital loss 
carryovers).  The fund currently expects to distribute any excess annually 
to its shareholders.  However, if the fund retains for investment an 
amount equal to all or a portion of its net long-term capital gains in 
excess of its net short-term capital losses and capital loss carryovers, 
it will be subject to a corporate tax (currently at a rate of 35%) on the 
amount retained. In that event, the fund will designate such retained 
amounts as undistributed capital gains in a notice to its shareholders who 
(a) will be required to include in income for United Stares federal income 
tax purposes, as long-term capital gains, their proportionate shares of 
the undistributed amount, (b) will be entitled to credit their 
proportionate shares of the 35% tax paid by the fund on the undistributed 
amount against their United States federal income tax liabilities, if any, 
and to claim refunds to the extent their credits exceed their liabilities, 
if any, and (c) will be entitled to increase their tax basis, for United 
States federal income tax purposes, in their shares by an amount equal to 
65% of the amount of undistributed capital gains included in the 
shareholder's income.  Organizations or persons not subject to federal 
income tax on such capital gains will be entitled to a refund of their pro 
rata share of such taxes paid by the fund upon filing appropriate returns 
or claims for refund with the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS").

Dividends of net investment income and distributions of net realized 
short-term capital gains are taxable to a United States shareholder as 
ordinary income, whether paid in cash or in shares.  Distributions of net-
long-term capital gains, if any, that the fund designates as capital gains 
dividends are taxable as long-term capital gains, whether paid in cash or 
in shares and regardless of how long a shareholder has held shares of the 
fund.  Dividends and distributions paid by the fund attributable to 
dividends on stock of U.S. corporations received by the fund, with respect 
to which the fund meets certain holding period requirements, will be 
eligible for the deduction for dividends received by corporations.  
Distributions in excess of the fund's current and accumulated earnings and 
profits will, as to each shareholder, be treated as a tax-free return of 
capital to the extent of a shareholder's basis in his shares of the fund, 
and as a capital gain thereafter (if the shareholder holds his shares of 
the fund as capital assets).

Shareholders receiving dividends or distributions in the form of 
additional shares should be treated for United States federal income tax 
purposes as receiving a distribution in the amount equal to the amount of 
money that the shareholders receiving cash dividends or distributions will 
receive, and should have a cost basis in the shares received equal to such 
amount.

Investors considering buying shares just prior to a dividend or capital 
gain distribution should be aware that, although the price of shares just 
purchased at that time may reflect the amount of the forthcoming 
distribution, such dividend or distribution may nevertheless be taxable to 
them.

If the fund is the holder of record of any stock on the record date for 
any dividends payable with respect to such stock, such dividends are 
included in the fund's gross income not as of the date received but as of 
the later of (a) the date such stock became ex-dividend with respect to 
such dividends (i.e., the date on which a buyer of the stock would not be 
entitled to receive the declared, but unpaid, dividends) or (b) the date 
the fund acquired such stock.  Accordingly, in order to satisfy its income 
distribution requirements, the fund may be required to pay dividends based 
on anticipated earnings, and shareholders may receive dividends in an 
earlier year than would otherwise be the case.

Sales of Shares.  Upon the sale or exchange of his shares, a shareholder 
will realize a taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the 
amount realized and his basis in his shares.  Such gain or loss will be 
treated as capital gain or loss, if the shares are capital assets in the 
shareholder's hands, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the 
shares are held for more than one year and short-term capital gain or loss 
if the shares are held for one year or less.  Any loss realized on a sale 
or exchange will be disallowed to the extent the shares disposed of are 
replaced, including replacement through the reinvesting of dividends and 
capital gains distributions in the fund, within a 61-day period beginning 
30 days before and ending 30 days after the disposition of the shares.  In 
such a case, the basis of the shares acquired will be increased to reflect 
the disallowed loss.  Any loss realized by a shareholder on the sale of a 
fund share held by the shareholder for six months or less will be treated 
for United States federal income tax purposes as a long-term capital loss 
to the extent of any distributions or deemed distributions of long-term 
capital gains received by the shareholder with respect to such share.


If a shareholder incurs a sales charge in acquiring shares of the fund, 
disposes of those shares within 90 days and then acquires shares in a 
mutual fund for which the otherwise applicable sales charge is reduced by 
reason of a reinvestment right (e.g., an exchange privilege), the original 
sales charge will not be taken into account in computing gain/loss on the 
original shares to the extent the subsequent sales charge is reduced.  
Instead, the disregarded portion of the original sales charge will be 
added to the tax basis in the newly acquired shares.  Furthermore, the 
same rule also applies to a disposition of the newly acquired shares made 
within 90 days of the second acquisition.  This provision prevents a 
shareholder from immediately deducting the sales charge by shifting his or 
her investment in a family of mutual funds. 

Backup Withholding.  The fund may be required to withhold, for United 
States federal income tax purposes, 31% of the dividends, distributions 
and redemption proceeds payable to shareholders who fail to provide the 
fund with their correct taxpayer identification number or to make required 
certifications, or who have been notified by the IRS that they are subject 
to backup withholding.  Certain shareholders are exempt from backup 
withholding.  Backup withholding is not an additional tax and any amount 
withheld may be credited against a shareholder's United States federal 
income tax liabilities.

Notices.  Shareholders will be notified annually by the fund as to the 
United States federal income tax status of the dividends, distributions 
and deemed distributions attributable to undistributed capital gains 
(discussed above in "Dividends and Distributions") made by the fund to its 
shareholders.  Furthermore, shareholders will also receive, if 
appropriate, various written notices after the close of the fund's taxable 
year regarding the United States federal income tax status of certain 
dividends, distributions and deemed distributions that were paid (or that 
are treated as having been paid) by the fund to its shareholders during 
the preceding taxable year.

Class Z 

Qualified plan participants should consult their plan document or tax 
advisors about the tax consequences of participating in a Qualified Plan. 
In addition to the considerations described below, there may be other 
federal, state, local, and/or foreign tax applications to consider.  
Provided that a Qualified Plan has not borrowed to finance its investment 
in the Fund, it will not be taxable on the receipt of dividends and 
distributions from the Fund. Qualified plan participants should consult 
their plan document or tax advisors about the tax consequences of 
participating in a Qualified Plan. 

Other Taxation

Distributions also may be subject to additional state, local and foreign 
taxes depending on each shareholder's particular situation.

The foregoing is only a summary of certain material tax consequences 
affecting the fund and its shareholders.  Shareholders are advised to 
consult their own tax advisers with respect to the particular tax 
consequences to them of an investment in the fund.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Fund History.  The fund was incorporated on September 2, 1969 under the 
name The Shearson Appreciation Fund, Inc.  On November 5, 1995, July 30, 
1993 and October 14, 1994, the fund changed its name to Shearson Lehman 
Brothers Appreciation Fund Inc., Smith Barney Shearson Appreciation Fund 
Inc. and Smith Barney Appreciation Fund Inc., respectively.

Minimum Account Size.  The fund reserves the right to involuntarily 
liquidate any shareholder's account in the fund if the aggregate net asset 
value of the shares held in the fund account is less than $500. (If a 
shareholder has more than one account in the fund, each account must 
satisfy the minimum account size.) The fund, however, will not redeem 
shares based solely on market reductions in net asset value. Before the 
fund exercises such right, shareholders will receive written notice and 
will be permitted 60 days to bring accounts up to the minimum to avoid 
involuntary liquidation.


Voting rights.  The fund does not hold annual shareholder meetings. There 
normally will be no meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing 
directors unless and until such time as less than a majority of the 
directors holding office have been elected by shareholders. The directors 
will call a meeting for any purpose upon written request of shareholders 
holding at least 10% of the fund's outstanding shares and the fund will 
assist shareholders in calling such a meeting as required by the 1940 Act. 
When matters are submitted for shareholder vote, shareholders of each 
class will have one vote for each full share owned and a proportionate 
fractional vote for any fractional share held of that class. Generally, 
shares of the fund will be voted on a fund-wide basis on all matters 
except matters affecting only the interests of one or more of the classes. 

Annual and semi-annual reports.  The fund sends its shareholders a semi-
annual report and an audited annual report, which include listings of the 
investment securities held by the fund at the end of the period covered. 
In an effort to reduce the fund's printing and mailing costs, the fund 
plans to consolidate the mailing of its semi-annual and annual reports by 
household. This consolidation means that a household having multiple 
accounts with the identical address of record will receive a single copy 
of each report. Shareholders who do not want this consolidation to apply 
to their accounts should contact their Salomon Smith Barney Financial 
Consultant or the transfer agent.

SMITH BARNEY APPRECIATION FUND INC.

DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT



									October 8, 1998



CFBDS, Inc.
21 Milk Street
Boston, MA 02109

Dear Sirs:

	This is to confirm that, in consideration of the agreements 
hereinafter contained, the above-named investment company (the "Fund") 
has agreed that you shall be, for the period of this Agreement, the non-
exclusive principal underwriter and distributor of shares of the Fund and 
each Series of the Fund set forth on Exhibit A hereto, as such Exhibit may 
be revised from time to time (each, including any shares of the Fund not 
designated by series, a "Series").  For purposes of this Agreement, the 
term "Shares" shall mean shares of the each Series, or one or more 
Series, as the context may require.

	1.	Services as Principal Underwriter and Distributor

		1.1  You will act as agent for the distribution of Shares 
covered by, and in  accordance with, the registration statement, 
prospectus and statement of additional information then in effect under 
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and the 
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and will 
transmit or cause to be transmitted promptly any orders received by you or 
those with whom you have sales or servicing agreements for purchase or 
redemption of Shares to the Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the 
Fund of which the Fund has notified you in writing.

		1.2  You agree to use your best efforts to solicit orders for 
the sale of Shares.  It is contemplated that you will enter into sales or 
servicing agreements with registered securities dealers and banks and into 
servicing agreements with financial institutions and other industry 
professionals, such as investment advisers, accountants and estate 
planning firms.  In entering into such agreements, you will act only on 
your own behalf as principal underwriter and distributor.  You will not be 
responsible for making any distribution plan or service fee payments 
pursuant to any plans the Fund may adopt or agreements it may enter into.

		1.3  You shall act as principal underwriter and distributor of 
Shares in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, 
including, without limitation, all rules and regulations made or adopted 
from time to time by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") 
pursuant to the 1933 Act or the 1940 Act or by any securities association 
registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

		1.4  Whenever in their judgment such action is warranted for 
any reason, including, without limitation, market, economic or political 
conditions, the Fund's officers may decline to accept any orders for, or 
make any sales of, any Shares until such time as those officers deem it 
advisable to accept such orders and to make such sales and the Fund shall 
advise you promptly of such determination.

2.	Duties of the Fund

2.1	The Fund agrees to pay all costs and expenses in 
connection with the registration of Shares under the 1933 Act, and all 
expenses in connection with maintaining facilities for the issue and 
transfer of Shares and for supplying information, prices and other data to 
be furnished by the Fund hereunder, and all expenses in connection with 
the preparation and printing of the Fund's prospectuses and statements of 
additional information for regulatory purposes and for distribution to 
shareholders; provided however, that nothing contained herein shall be 
deemed to require the Fund to pay any of the costs of advertising or 
marketing the sale of Shares.

		2.2  The Fund agrees to execute any and all documents and to 
furnish any and all information and otherwise to take any other actions 
that may be reasonably necessary in the discretion of the Fund's officers 
in connection with the qualification of Shares for sale in such states and 
other U.S. jurisdictions as the Fund may approve and designate to you from 
time to time, and the Fund agrees to pay all expenses that may be incurred 
in connection with such qualification.  You shall pay all expenses 
connected with your own qualification as a securities broker or dealer 
under state or Federal laws and, except as otherwise specifically provided 
in this Agreement, all other expenses incurred by you in connection with 
the sale of Shares as contemplated in this Agreement.

2.3  The Fund shall furnish you from time to time, for use in 
connection with the sale of Shares, such information reports with respect 
to the Fund or any relevant Series and the Shares as you may reasonably 
request, all of which shall be signed by one or more of the Fund's duly 
authorized officers; and the Fund warrants that the statements contained 
in any such reports, when so signed by the Fund's officers, shall be true 
and correct.  The Fund also shall furnish you upon request with (a) the 
reports of annual audits of the financial statements of the Fund for each 
Series made by independent certified public accountants retained by the 
Fund for such purpose; (b) semi-annual unaudited financial statements 
pertaining to each Series; (c) quarterly earnings statements prepared by 
the Fund; (d) a monthly itemized list of the securities in each Series' 
portfolio; (e) monthly balance sheets as soon as practicable after the end 
of each month; (f)  the current net asset value and  offering price per 
share for each Series on each day such net asset value is computed and (g) 
from time to time such additional information regarding the financial 
condition of each Series of the Fund as you may reasonably request.

	3.	Representations and Warranties

	The Fund represents to you that all registration statements, 
prospectuses and statements of additional information filed by the Fund 
with the SEC under the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act with respect to the 
Shares have been prepared in conformity with the requirements of said Acts 
and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.  As used in this 
Agreement, the  terms "registration statement", "prospectus" and 
"statement of additional information" shall mean any registration 
statement, prospectus and statement of additional information filed by the 
Fund with the SEC and any amendments and supplements thereto filed by the 
Fund with the SEC.  The Fund represents and warrants to you that any 
registration statement, prospectus and statement of additional 
information, when such registration statement becomes effective and as 
such prospectus and statement of additional information are amended or 
supplemented, will include at the time of such effectiveness, amendment or 
supplement all statements required to be contained therein in conformance 
with the 1933 Act, the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC; 
that all statements of material fact contained in any registration 
statement, prospectus or statement of additional information will be true 
and correct when such registration statement becomes effective; and that 
neither any registration statement nor any prospectus or statement of 
additional information when such registration statement becomes effective 
will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a 
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the 
statements therein not misleading to a purchaser of the Fund's Shares.  
The Fund may, but shall not be obligated to, propose from time to time 
such amendment or amendments to any registration statement and such 
supplement or supplements to any prospectus or statement of additional 
information as, in the light of future developments, may, in the opinion 
of the Fund, be necessary or advisable.  If the Fund shall not propose 
such amendment or amendments and/or supplement or supplements within 
fifteen days after receipt by the Fund of a written request from you to do 
so, you may, at your option, terminate this Agreement or decline to make 
offers of the Fund's Shares until such amendments are made.  The Fund 
shall not file any amendment to any registration statement or supplement 
to any prospectus or statement of additional information without giving 
you reasonable notice thereof in advance; provided, however, that nothing 
contained in this Agreement shall in any way limit the Fund's right to 
file at any time such amendments to any registration statement and/or 
supplements to any prospectus or statement of additional information, of 
whatever character, as the Fund may deem advisable, such right being in 
all respects absolute and unconditional.

	4.	Indemnification

		4.1  The Fund authorizes you to use any prospectus or 
statement of additional information furnished by the Fund from time to 
time, in connection with the sale of Shares.  The Fund agrees to 
indemnify, defend and hold you, your several officers and directors, and 
any person who controls you within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 
Act, free and harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, 
liabilities and expenses (including the cost of investigating or defending 
such claims, demands or liabilities and any such counsel fees incurred in 
connection therewith) which you, your officers and directors, or any such 
controlling person, may incur under the 1933 Act or under common law or 
otherwise, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement, or alleged 
untrue statement, of a material fact contained in any registration 
statement, any prospectus or any statement of additional information or 
arising out of or based upon any omission, or alleged omission, to state a 
material fact required to be stated in any registration statement, any 
prospectus or any statement of additional information or necessary to make 
the statements in any of them not misleading; provided, however, that the 
Fund's agreement to indemnify you, your officers or directors, and any 
such controlling person shall not be deemed to cover any claims, demands, 
liabilities or expenses arising out of any statements or representations 
made by you or your representatives or agents other than such statements 
and representations as are contained in any prospectus or statement of 
additional information and in such financial and other statements as are 
furnished to you pursuant to paragraph 2.3 of this Agreement; and further 
provided that the Fund's agreement to indemnify you and the Fund's 
representations and warranties herein before set forth in paragraph 3 of 
this Agreement shall not be deemed to cover any liability to the Fund or 
its shareholders to which you would otherwise be subject by reason of 
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of 
your duties, or by reason of your reckless disregard of your obligations 
and duties under this Agreement.  The Fund's agreement to indemnify you, 
your officers and directors, and any such controlling person, as 
aforesaid, is expressly conditioned upon the Fund's being notified of any 
action brought against you, your officers or directors, or any such 
controlling person, such notification to be given by letter or by telegram 
addressed to the Fund at its principal office in New York, New York and 
sent to the Fund by the person against whom such action is brought, within 
ten days after the summons or other first legal process shall have been 
served.  The failure so to notify the Fund of any such action shall not 
relieve the Fund from any liability that the Fund may have to the person 
against whom such action is brought by reason of any such untrue, or 
alleged untrue, statement or omission, or alleged omission, otherwise than 
on account of the Fund's indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph 
4.1.  The Fund will be entitled to assume the defense of any suit brought 
to enforce any such claim, demand or liability, but, in such case, such 
defense shall be conducted by counsel of good standing chosen by the Fund.  
In the event the Fund elects to assume the defense of any such suit and 
retains counsel of good standing, the defendant or defendants in such suit 
shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by any 
of them; but if the Fund does not elect to assume the defense of any such 
suit, the Fund will reimburse you, your officers and directors, or the 
controlling person or persons named as defendant or defendants in such 
suit, for the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by you or them.  
The Fund's indemnification agreement contained in this paragraph 4.1 and 
the Fund's representations and warranties in this Agreement shall remain 
operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation 
made by or on behalf of you, your officers and directors, or any 
controlling person, and shall survive the delivery of any of the Fund's 
Shares.  This agreement of indemnity will inure exclusively to your 
benefit, to the benefit of your several officers and directors, and their 
respective estates, and to the benefit of the controlling persons and 
their successors.  The Fund agrees to notify you promptly of the 
commencement of any litigation or proceedings against the Fund or any of 
its officers or Board members in connection with the issuance and sale of 
any of the Fund's Shares.

		4.2  You agree to indemnify, defend and hold the Fund, its 
several officers and Board members, and any person who controls the Fund 
within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, free and harmless from 
and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities and expenses 
(including the costs of investigating or defending such claims, demands or 
liabilities and any counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) that 
the Fund, its officers or Board members or any such controlling person may 
incur under the 1933 Act, or under common law or otherwise, but only to 
the extent that such liability or expense incurred by the Fund, its 
officers or Board members, or such controlling person resulting from such 
claims or demands shall arise out of or be based upon (a) any unauthorized 
sales literature, advertisements, information, statements or 
representations or (b) any untrue, or alleged untrue, statement of a 
material fact contained in information furnished in writing by you to the 
Fund and used in the answers to any of the items of the registration 
statement or in the corresponding statements made in the prospectus or 
statement of additional information, or shall arise out of or be based 
upon any omission, or alleged omission, to state a material fact in 
connection with such information furnished in writing by you to the Fund 
and required to be stated in such answers or necessary to make such 
information not misleading.  Your agreement to indemnify the Fund, its 
officers or Board members, and any such controlling person, as aforesaid, 
is expressly conditioned upon your being notified of any action brought 
against the Fund, its officers or Board members, or any such controlling 
person, such notification to be given by letter or telegram addressed to 
you at your principal office in Boston, Massachusetts and sent to you by 
the person against whom such action is brought, within ten days after the 
summons or other first legal process shall have been served.  You shall 
have the right to control the defense of such action, with counsel of your 
own choosing, satisfactory to the Fund, if such action is based solely 
upon such alleged misstatement or omission on your part or with the Fund's 
consent, and in any event the Fund, its officers or Board members or such 
controlling person shall each have the right to participate in the defense 
or preparation of the defense of any such action with counsel of its own 
choosing reasonably acceptable to you but shall not have the right to 
settle any such action without your consent, which will not be 
unreasonably withheld.  The failure to so notify you of any such action 
shall not relieve you from any liability that you may have to the Fund, 
its officers or Board members, or to such controlling person by reason of 
any such untrue, or alleged untrue, statement or omission, or alleged 
omission, otherwise than on account of your indemnity agreement contained 
in this paragraph 4.2.  You agree to notify the Fund promptly of the 
commencement of any litigation or proceedings against you or any of your 
officers or directors in connection with the issuance and sale of any of 
the Fund's Shares.

such Shares under this Agreement shall be accepted by the Fund if and so 
long as the effectiveness of the registration statement then in effect or 
any necessary amendments thereto shall be suspended under any of the 
provisions of the 1933 Act, or if and so long as a current prospectus as

party to this Agreement, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for 
the purpose of voting on such approval.  This Agreement is terminable,

Smith Barney Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of 
the State of New York ("Salomon Smith Barney"), a service fee

Distribution Fee").

	(d)	Service Fee for Class L  shares.  The Fund will pay to Salomon 
Smith Barney a service fee under the plan at the annual rate of 
0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund attributable

	With respect to expenses incurred by each Class, its respective 
Service Fee and/or Distribution Fee may be used by Salomon Smith Barney 
for: (a) costs of printing and distributing the Fund's prospectuses, 
statements of additional information and reports to prospective 
investors in the Fund; (b) costs involved in preparing, printing and 
distributing sales literature pertaining to the Fund; (c) an allocation 
of overhead and other branch office distribution-related expenses of

distribution of the Fund's shares, including but not limited to, office 
space and equipment, telephone facilities, answering routine inquires 
regarding the Fund and its operation, processing shareholder 
transactions, forwarding and collecting proxy material, changing 
dividend payment elections and providing any other shareholder services 
not otherwise provided by the Fund's transfer agent; and (e) accruals 
for interest on the amount of the foregoing expenses that exceed the 
Distribution Fee for that Class and, in the case of Class B and Class L 
shares, any contingent deferred sales charges received by Salomon Smith 
Barney; provided, however, that (i) the Distribution Fee for a 
particular Class may be used by Salomon Smith Barney only to cover 
expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of that 
Class, including, without limitation, payments to the financial 
consultants of Salomon Smith Barney and other persons as compensation 
for the sale of the shares, and (ii) the Service Fees are intended to 
be used by Salomon Smith Barney primarily to pay its financial 
consultants for servicing shareholder accounts, including a continuing 
fee to each such financial consultant, which fee shall begin to accrue 
immediately after the sale of such shares.

	Section 3.  Approval by Shareholders

The Plan will not take effect, and no fees will be payable in 
accordance with Section 1 of
the Plan, with respect to a Class until the Plan has been approved by a 
vote of at least a majority
of the outstanding voting securities of the Class.  The Plan will be 
deemed to have been approved
with respect to a Class so long as a majority of the outstanding voting 
securities of the Class votes for the approval of the Plan, 
notwithstanding that:  (a) the Plan has not been approved by a majority 
of the outstanding voting securities of any other Class, or (b) the 
Plan has not been
approved by a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the 
Fund.

	Section 4.   Approval by Directors.

	Neither the Plan nor any related agreements will take effect until 
approved by a majority vote of both (a) the Board of Directors and (b) 
those Directors who are not interested persons of the Fund and who have 
no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan 
or in any agreements related to it (the "Qualified Directors"), cast in 
person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Plan and 
the related agreements.

	Section 5.  Continuance of the Plan.

	The Plan will continue in effect with respect to each Class until 
October 8, 1999 and thereafter for successive twelve-month periods with 
respect to each Class; provided, however, that such continuance is 
specifically approved at least annually by the Directors of the Fund 
and by a majority of the Qualified Directors.

	Section 6.  Termination.

	The Plan may be terminated at any time with respect to a Class (i) by 
the Fund without the payment of any penalty, by the vote of a majority 
of the outstanding voting securities of such Class or (ii) by a 
majority vote of the Qualified Directors. The Plan may remain in effect 
with respect to a particular Class even if the Plan has been terminated 
in accordance with this Section 6 with respect to any other Class.

	Section 7.  Amendments.

	The Plan may not be amended with respect to any Class so as to 
increase materially the amounts of the fees described in Section 1 
above, unless the amendment is approved by a vote of holders of at 
least a majority of the outstanding voting securities of that Class. No 
material amendment to the Plan may be made unless approved by the 
Fund's Board of Directors in the manner described in Section 4 above.

	Section 8.  Selection of Certain Directors.

Rule, which set out the amounts expended under the Plan and the 
purposes for which those expenditures were made.

	Section 10.  Preservation of Materials.

	The Fund will preserve copies of the Plan, any agreement relating to 
the Plan and any report made pursuant to Section 9 above, for a period 
of not less than six years (the first two years in an easily accessible 
place) from the date of the Plan, agreement or report.

	Section 11.  Meanings of Certain Terms.

	As used in the Plan, the terms "interested person" and "majority of 
the outstanding voting securities" will be deemed to have the same 
meaning that those terms have under the rules and regulations under the 
1940 Act, subject to any exemption that may be granted to the Fund 
under the 1940 Act, by the Securities and Exchange Commission.


	 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Fund has executed the Plan as of October 8,

Rule 18f-3 (d) Multiple Class Plan for Smith Barney Mutual Funds

Introduction

This plan (the "Plan") is adopted pursuant to Rule 18f-3 (d) of the 
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").  
The purpose of the Plan is to restate the existing arrangements previously 
approved by the Boards of Directors and Trustees of certain of the open-end 
investment companies set forth on Schedule A (the "Funds" and each a "Fund")
under the Funds' existing order of exemption (Investment Company Act Release
Nos. 20042 (January 28, 1994) (notice) and 20090 (February 23, 1994)).  
Shares of the Funds are distributed pursuant to a system 
(the "Multiple Class System") in which each class of shares 
(a "Class") of a Fund represents a pro rata interest in the 
same portfolio of investments of the Fund and differs only to the 
extent outlined below.


I.  Distribution Arrangements and Service Fees

One or more Classes of shares of the Funds are offered for purchase by 
investors with the following sales load structure.  In addition, pursuant to 
Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Rule"), the Funds have each adopted a 
plan (the "Services and Distribution Plan") under which shares of the 
Classes are subject to the services and distribution fees described below.

     	1.  Class A Shares
 the 1940 Act (the "Rule"), the Funds have each adopted a plan 
(the "Services and Distribution Plan") under which shares of the 
Classes are subject to the services and distribution fees described below.

     	1.  Class A Shares

Class A shares are offered with a front-end sales load and under the 
Services and Distribution Plan are subject to a service fee of up to 0.25% 
of average daily net assets.  In addition, the Funds are permitted to 
assess a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") on certain redemptions 
of Class A shares sold pursuant to a complete waiver of front-end sales 
loads applicable to large purchases, if the shares are redeemed within one 
year of the date of purchase.  This waiver applies to sales of Class A shares
s equal to or exceeds $500,000 although this amount may be changed in the 
future.

	2.  Class B Shares

Class B shares are offered without a front-end sales load, but are subject 
to a five-year declining CDSC and under the Services and Distribution Plan 
are subject to a service fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of average 
daily net assets and a distribution fee at an annual rate of up to 0.75% 
of average daily net assets.

3. Class D Shares

Class D shares are offered without a front-end sales load, CDSC, service 
fee or distribution fee.  

4.  Class L Shares 

Class L shares are offered with a front-end load, are subject to a one-year 
CDSC and under the Services and Distribution Plan are subject to a service 
fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets and a 
distribution fee at an annual rate of up to 0.75% of average daily net 
assets.  Unlike Class B shares, Class L shares do not have the conversion 
feature as discussed below and accordingly, these shares are subject to a 
distribution fee for an indefinite period of time.  The Funds reserve the 
right to impose these fees at such higher rates as may be determined.

5.  Class I Shares 

Class I shares are offered without a front-end sales load, but are subject 
under the Services and Distribution Plan to a service fee at an annual rate 
of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets.

6.  Class O Shares 

Class O shares are offered without a front-end load, but are subject to a 
one-year CDSC and under the Services and Distribution Plan are subject to 
a service fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets 
and a distribution fee at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of average daily 
net assets.  Unlike Class B 
shares, Class O shares do not have the conversion feature as discussed 
below and accordingly, these shares are subject to a distribution fee for 
an indefinite period of time.  The Funds reserve the right to impose these 
fees at such higher rates as may be determined.    

Effective June 28, 1999, Class O shares will be offered with a 
front-end load and will continue to be subject to a one year CDSC, a 
service fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets 
and a distribution fee at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of average daily 
net assets.

    	7.  Class Y Shares

Class Y shares are offered without imposition of either a sales charge or 
a service or distribution fee for investments where the amount of purchase 
is equal to or exceeds a specific amount as specified in each Fund's 
prospectus.

	8.  Class Z Shares

Class Z shares are offered without imposition of either a sales charge or 
a service or distribution fee for purchase (i) by employee benefit and 
retirement plans of Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("Salomon Smith Barney") 
and its affiliates, (ii) by certain unit investment trusts sponsored by 
Salomon Smith Barney and its affiliates, and (iii) although not currently 
authorized by the governing boards of the Funds, when and if authorized, 
(x) by employees of Salomon Smith Barney and its affiliates and (y) by direct
es of any investment company listed on Schedule A and, for each of (x) 
and (y), their spouses and minor children.

     	9.  Additional Classes of Shares

The Boards of Directors and Trustees of the Funds have the authority to 
create additional classes, or change existing Classes, from time to time, 
in accordance with Rule 18f-3 of the 1940 Act.

II.  Expense Allocations

Under the Multiple Class System, all expenses incurred by a Fund are 
allocated among the various Classes of shares based on the net assets of 
the Fund attributable to each Class, except that each Class's net asset 
value and expenses reflect the expenses associated with that Class under 
the Fund's Services and 
Distribution Plan, including any costs associated with obtaining 
shareholder approval of the Services and Distribution Plan 
(or an amendment thereto) and any expenses specific to that Class.  
Such expenses are limited to the following:

     (i)  	transfer agency fees as identified by the transfer agent as 
being attributable to a specific Class;

     (ii)  	printing and postage expenses related to preparing and 
distributing materials such as shareholder reports, prospectuses and 
proxies to current shareholders;

     (iii)  Blue Sky registration fees incurred by a Class of shares;

     (iv)  	Securities and Exchange Commission registration fees incurred 
by a Class of shares;

     (v)  	the expense of administrative personnel and services as 
required to support the shareholders of a specific Class;

     (vi)  	litigation or other legal expenses relating solely to one 
Class of shares; and

     (vii)  fees of members of the governing boards of the funds incurred 
as a result of issues relating to one Class of shares.

Pursuant to the Multiple Class System, expenses of a Fund allocated to a 
particular Class of shares of that Fund are borne on a pro rata basis by 
each outstanding share of that Class.


III.  Conversion Rights of Class B Shares

All Class B shares of each Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares
after a certain holding period, expected to be, in most cases, approximately 
eight years but may be shorter.  Upon the expiration of the holding period, 
Class B shares (except those purchases through the reinvestment of dividends 
and other 
distributions paid in respect of Class B shares) will automatically 
convert to Class A shares of the Fund at the relative net asset value of 
each of the Classes, and will, as a result, thereafter be subject to the 
lower fee under the Services and Distribution Plan.  For purposes of 
calculating the holding period required for conversion, newly created 
Class B shares issued after the date of implementation of the Multiple Class 
System are deemed to have been issued on (i) the date on which the issuance 
of the Class B shares occurred or (ii) for Class B shares obtained through 
an exchange, or a series of exchanges, the date on which the issuance of 
the original Class B shares occurred.

Shares purchased through the reinvestment of dividends and other 
distributions paid in respect of Class B shares are also Class B shares.  
However, for purposes of conversion to Class A, all Class B shares in a 
shareholder's Fund account that were purchased through the reinvestment of 
dividends and other distributions paid in respect of Class B shares 
(and that have not converted to Class A shares as provided in the following 
sentence) are considered to be held in a separate sub-account. 
Each time any Class B shares 
in the shareholder's Fund account 
(other than those in the sub-account referred to in the 
preceding sentence) convert to Class A, a pro rata portion 
of the Class B shares then in the sub-account also converts to 
Class A.  The portion is determined by the ratio that the 
shareholder's Class B shares converting to Class A bears to 
the shareholder's total Class B shares not acquired through dividends and 
distributions. The conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares 
is subject to the 
continuing availability of a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service that 
payment of different dividends on Class A and Class B shares does not 
result in the Fund's dividends or distributions constituting "preferential 
dividends" under the Internal Revenue 
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the continuing availability of 
an opinion of counsel to the effect that the conversion of shares does not 
constitute a taxable event under the Code.  

The conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares may be suspended 
if this opinion is no longer available,  In the event that conversion of 
Class B shares does not occur, Class B shares would continue to be subject 
to the distribution fee and any incrementally higher transfer agency costs 
attending the Class B shares for an indefinite period.


IV.	Exchange Privileges

Shareholders of a Fund may exchange their shares at net asset value for 
shares of the same Class in certain other of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds 
as set forth in the prospectus for such Fund.  Funds only permit exchanges 
into shares of money market funds having a plan under the Rule if, as 
permitted by paragraph (b) (5) of Rule 11a-3 under the 1940 Act, either 
(i) the time period during which the shares of the money market funds are 
held is included in the calculations of the CDSC or (ii) the time period 
if the CDSC is reduced by the amount of any payments made under a plan 
adopted pursuant to the Rule by the money market funds with respects to 
those shares.  Currently, the Funds include the time period during which 
shares of the money market fund are held in the CDSC period.  The exchange 
privileges applicable to all Classes of shares must comply with Rule 11a-3 
under the 1940 Act.
