PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by detailed information
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus and in the Statement of Additional
Information. Cross references in this summary are to headings in the Prospec-
tus. See "Table of Contents."
   
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES The Equity Income Portfolio is an open-end, management
investment company whose investment objective is to seek current income and
long-term growth of income and capital by investing primarily, but not exclu-
sively, in common stocks. See "Investment Objectives and Management Policies."
       
ALTERNATIVE PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS The Portfolio offers several classes of
shares ("Classes") to investors designed to provide them with the flexibility
of selecting an investment best suited to their needs. The general public is
offered three Classes of shares: Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C
shares, which differ principally in terms of sales charges and rate of
expenses to which they are subject. A fourth Class of shares, Class Y shares,
is offered only to investors meeting an initial investment minimum of
$5,000,000. In addition, a fifth Class, Class Z shares, which is offered pur-
suant to a separate prospectus, is offered exclusively to tax-exempt employee
benefit and retirement plans of Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney") and its
affiliates. See "Purchase of Shares" and "Redemption of Shares."     
 
  Class A Shares. Class A shares are sold at net asset value plus an initial
sales charge of up to 5.00% and are subject to an annual service fee of 0.25%
of the average daily net assets of the Class. The initial sales charge may be
reduced or waived for certain purchases. Purchases of Class A shares, which
when combined with current holdings of Class A shares offered with a sales
charge equal or exceed $500,000 in the aggregate, will be made at net asset
value with no initial sales charge, but will be subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% on redemptions made within 12 months
of purchase. See "Prospectus Summary--Reduced or No Initial Sales Charge."
 
  Class B Shares. Class B shares are offered at net asset value subject to a
maximum CDSC of 5.00% of redemption proceeds, declining by 1.00% each year
after the date of purchase to zero. This CDSC may be waived for certain
redemptions. Class B shares are subject to an annual service fee of 0.25% and
an annual distribution fee of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the
Class. The Class B shares' distribution fee may cause that Class to have
higher expenses and pay lower dividends than Class A shares.
 
 
                                                                              3
<PAGE>
 
Smith Barney Funds, Inc.
 
PROSPECTUS SUMMARY (CONTINUED)
 
  Class B Shares Conversion Feature. Class B shares will convert automatically
to Class A shares, based on relative net asset value, eight years after the
date of the original purchase. Upon conversion, these shares will no longer be
subject to an annual distribution fee. In addition, a certain portion of Class
B shares that have been acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and dis-
tributions ("Class B Dividend Shares") will be converted at that time. See
"Purchase of Shares--Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives."
   
  Class C Shares. Class C shares are sold at net asset value with no initial
sales charge. They are subject to an annual service fee of 0.25% and an annual
distribution fee of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Class C
shares, and investors pay a CDSC of 1.00% if they redeem Class C shares within
12 months of purchase. The CDSC may be waived for certain redemptions. The
Class C shares' distribution fee may cause that Class to have higher expenses
and pay lower dividends than Class A shares. Purchases of Portfolio shares,
which when combined with current holdings of Class C shares of the Portfolio
equal or exceed $500,000 in the aggregate, should be made in Class A shares at
net asset value with no sales charge, and will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on
redemptions made within 12 months of purchase.     
 
  Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are available only to investors meeting an
initial investment minimum of $5,000,000. Class Y shares are sold at net asset
value with no initial sales charge or CDSC. They are not subject to any service
or distribution fees.
 
  In deciding which Class of Portfolio shares to purchase, investors should
consider the following factors, as well as any other relevant facts and circum-
stances:
   
  Intended Holding Period. The decision as to which Class of shares is more
beneficial to an investor depends on the amount and intended length of his or
her investment. Shareholders who are planning to establish a program of regular
investment may wish to consider Class A shares; as the investment accumulates
shareholders may qualify for reduced sales charges and the shares are subject
to lower ongoing expenses over the term of the investment. As an alternative,
Class B and Class C shares are sold without any initial sales charge so the
entire purchase price is immediately invested in the Portfolio. Any investment
return on these additional invested amounts may partially or wholly offset the
higher annual expenses of these Classes. Because the Portfolio's future return
cannot be predicted, however, there can be no assurance that this would be the
case.

Smith Barney Funds, Inc.
 
PROSPECTUS SUMMARY (CONTINUED)
 
 
  Finally, investors should consider the effect of the CDSC period and any con-
version rights of the Classes in the context of their own investment time
frame. For example, while Class C shares have a shorter CDSC period than Class
B shares, they do not have a conversion feature, and therefore, are subject to
an ongoing distribution fee. Thus, Class B shares may be more attractive than
Class C shares to investors with longer term investment outlooks.
 
  Investors investing a minimum of $5,000,000 must purchase Class Y shares,
which are not subject to an initial sales charge, CDSC or service or distribu-
tion fees. The maximum purchase amount for Class A shares is $4,999,999, Class
B shares is $249,999 and Class C shares is $499,999. There is no maximum pur-
chase amount for Class Y shares.
 
  Reduced or No Initial Sales Charge. The initial sales charge on Class A
shares may be waived for certain eligible purchasers, and the entire purchase
price will be immediately invested in the Portfolio. In addition, Class A share
purchases, which when combined with current holdings of Class A shares offered
with a sales charge equal or exceed $500,000 in the aggregate, will be made at
net asset value with no initial sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of
1.00% on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. The $500,000 aggregate
investment may be met by adding the purchase to the net asset value of all
Class A shares offered with a sales charge held in funds sponsored by Smith
Barney listed under "Exchange Privilege." Class A share purchases also may be
eligible for a reduced initial sales charge. See "Purchase of Shares." Because
the ongoing expenses of Class A shares may be lower than those for Class B and
Class C shares, purchasers eligible to purchase Class A shares at net asset
value or at a reduced sales charge should consider doing so.
 
  Smith Barney Financial Consultants may receive different compensation for
selling each Class of shares. Investors should understand that the purpose of
the CDSC on the Class B and Class C shares is the same as that of the initial
sales charge on the Class A shares.
 
  See "Purchase of Shares" and "Management of the Fund" for a complete descrip-
tion of the sales charges and service and distribution fees for each Class of
shares and "Valuation of Shares," "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes" and "Ex-
change Privilege" for other differences between the Classes of shares.
 
SMITH BARNEY 401(K) PROGRAM Investors may be eligible to participate in the
Smith Barney 401(k) Program, which is generally designed to assist plan
 
                                                                               5

sponsors in the creation and operation of retirement plans under Section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as well as other
types of participant directed, tax-qualified employee benefit plans (collec-
tively, "Participating Plans"). Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares
are available as investment alternatives for Participating Plans. See "Purchase
of Shares -- Smith Barney 401(k) Program."
   
PURCHASE OF SHARES Shares may be purchased through a brokerage account main-
tained with Smith Barney. Shares may also be purchased through a broker that
clears securities transactions through Smith Barney on a fully disclosed basis
(an "Introducing Broker") or an investment dealer in the selling group. In
addition, certain investors, including qualified retirement plans and certain
other institutional investors, may purchase shares directly from the Fund
through the Fund's transfer agent, First Data Investor Services Group, Inc.
("First Data"), a subsidiary of First Data Corporation. See "Purchase of
Shares."     
 
INVESTMENT MINIMUMS Investors in Class A, Class B and Class C shares may open
an account by making an initial investment of at least $1,000 for each account,
or $250 for an individual retirement account ("IRA") or a Self-Employed Retire-
ment Plan. Investors in Class Y shares may open an account for an initial
investment of $5,000,000. 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(a) of the Code, the minimum initial investment
requirement for Class A, Class B and Class C shares and the subsequent invest-
ment requirement for all Classes is $25. The minimum initial investment
requirement for Class A, Class B and Class C shares and the subsequent invest-
ment requirement for all Classes through the Systematic Investment Plan
described below is $50. See "Purchase of Shares."
   
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN The Portfolio offers shareholders a Systematic
Investment Plan under which they may authorize the automatic placement of a
purchase order each month or quarter for Portfolio shares in an amount of at
least $50. See "Purchase of Shares."     
 
REDEMPTION OF SHARES Shares may be redeemed on each day the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") is open for business. See "Purchase of Shares" and "Re-
demption of Shares."

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY (CONTINUED)
   
MANAGEMENT OF THE PORTFOLIO Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. (the
"Manager") serves as the Portfolio's investment manager. The Manager is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"). Holdings is
a wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers Group Inc. ("Travelers"), a diversified
financial services holding company engaged, through its subsidiaries,
principally in four business segments: Investment Services, Consumer Finance
Services, Life Insurance Services and Property & Casualty Insurance Services.
See "Management of the Fund."     
 
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE Shares of a Class may be exchanged for shares of the same
Class of certain other funds of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds at the respective
net asset values next determined, plus any applicable sales charge
differential. See "Exchange Privilege."
   
VALUATION OF SHARES Net asset value of the Portfolio for the prior day gener-
ally is quoted daily in the financial section of most newspapers and is also
available from a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. See "Valuation of Shares."
       
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS Dividends from net investment income are paid quar-
terly on shares of the Portfolio. Distributions of net realized capital gains,
if any, are paid annually. See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."     
 
REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS Dividends and distributions paid on shares of a Class
will be reinvested automatically, unless otherwise specified by an investor, in
additional shares of the same Class at current net asset value. Shares acquired
by dividend and distribution reinvestments will not be subject to any sales
charge or CDSC. Class B shares acquired through dividend and distribution rein-
vestments will become eligible for conversion to Class A shares on a pro rata
basis. See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."
   
RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS There can be no assurance that the
Portfolio's investment objective will be achieved. The value of the Portfolio's
investments, and thus the net asset value of the Portfolio's shares, will fluc-
tuate in response to changes in market and economic conditions, as well as the
financial condition and prospects of issuers in which the Portfolio invests.
The Portfolio may invest in foreign securities. Investments in foreign securi-
ties 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 Portfolio. In addition, foreign
investments may include additional risks associated with currency exchange

THE PORTFOLIO'S EXPENSES The following expense table lists the costs and
expenses an investor will incur either directly or indirectly as a shareholder
of the Portfolio, based on the maximum sales charge or maximum CDSC that may
be incurred at the time of purchase or redemption and, the Portfolio's operat-
ing expenses for its most recent fiscal year:

  * Purchases of Class A shares, which when combined with current holdings of
    Class A shares offered with a sales charge equal or exceed $500,000 in the
    aggregate, will be made at net asset value with no sales charge, but will
    be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on redemptions made within 12 months.
 ** Upon conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares, such shares will no
    longer be subject to a distribution fee. Class C shares do not have a
    conversion feature and, therefore, are subject to an ongoing distribution
    fee. As a result, long-term shareholders of Class C shares may pay more
    than the economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charge
    permitted by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
   
*** "Other expenses" for Class Y shares have been estimated because no Class Y
    shares were outstanding during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.
           
  The sales charge and CDSC set forth in the above table are the maximum
charges imposed on purchases or redemptions of the Portfolio's shares and
investors may actually pay lower or no charges, depending on the amount pur-
chased and, in the case of Class B, Class C and certain Class A shares, the
length of time the shares are held and whether the shares are held through the
Smith Barney 401(k) Program. See "Purchase of Shares" and "Redemption of

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY (CONTINUED)
 
Shares." Smith Barney receives an annual 12b-1 service fee of 0.25% of the
value of average daily net assets of Class A shares. Smith Barney also receives
with respect to Class B and Class C shares an annual 12b-1 fee of 1.00% of the
value of average daily net assets of the respective Classes, consisting of a
0.75% distribution fee and a 0.25% service fee. "Other expenses" in the above
table include fees for shareholder services, custodial fees, legal and account-
ing fees, printing costs and registration fees.
 
EXAMPLE
   
  The following example is intended to assist an investor in understanding the
various costs that an investor in the Portfolio will bear directly or indirect-
ly. The example assumes payment by the Portfolio of operating expenses at the
levels set forth in the table above. See "Purchase of Shares," "Redemption of
Shares" and "Management of the Fund."

</TABLE>    
* Ten-year figures assume conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares at the
  end of the eighth year following the date of purchase.
 
  The example also provides a means for the investor to compare expense levels
of funds with different fee structures over varying investment periods. To
facilitate such comparison, all funds are required to utilize a 5.00% annual
return assumption. However, each Portfolio's actual return will vary and may be
greater or less than 5.00% THIS EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTA-
TION OF PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES AND ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN
THOSE SHOWN.

Smith Barney Funds, Inc.
 
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES
   
  The Portfolio seeks current income and long-term growth of income and capi-
tal by investing primarily, but not exclusively, in common stocks.     
   
  The Portfolio invests primarily in common stocks offering a current return
from dividends and will also normally include some interest-paying debt obli-
gations (such as U.S. Government Obligations, investment grade bonds and
debentures) and high quality short-term debt obligations (such as commercial
paper and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government securities
with broker/dealers or other financial institutions, including the Fund's cus-
todian). At least 65% of the Portfolio's assets will at times be invested in
equity securities. The Portfolio may also purchase preferred stocks and con-
vertible securities. Temporary defensive investments or a higher percentage of
debt securities may be held when deemed advisable by the Manager. To the
extent the Portfolio's assets are invested for temporary defensive purposes,
such assets will not be invested in a manner designed to achieve the Portfo-
lio's investment objective. In the selection of common stock investments,
emphasis is generally placed on issues with established dividend records as
well as potential for price appreciation. From time to time, however, a por-
tion of the assets may be invested in non-dividend paying stocks. The Portfo-
lio may make investments in foreign securities, though management currently
intends to limit such investments to 5% of the Portfolio's assets, and an
additional 10% of its assets may be invested in sponsored American Depositary
Receipts representing shares in foreign securities that are traded in United
States securities markets.     
          
  The Portfolio's investment objective and policies, are non-fundamental and,
as such, may be changed by the Board of Directors, provided such change is not
prohibited by the investment restrictions (which are set forth in the State-
ment of Additional Information) or applicable law, and any such change will
first be disclosed in the then current prospectus.     
 
  PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND TURNOVER
 
  All orders for transactions in securities and options on behalf of the Port-
folio are placed by the Manager with broker/dealers that the Manager selects,
including Smith Barney and other affiliated brokers. Brokerage will be allo-
cated to Smith Barney, to the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable
law, provided that, in the judgment of the Board of Directors of the Fund, the
commission, fee or other remuneration received or to be received by Smith Bar-
ney (or

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)     
   
any broker/dealer affiliate of Smith Barney that is also a member of a securi-
ties exchange) is reasonable and fair compared to the commission, fee or other
remuneration received by other brokers in connection with comparable transac-
tions involving similar securities being purchased or sold on a securities
exchange during the same or comparable period of time. The Fund normally
expects to allocate to Smith Barney between 50% and 60% of the Portfolio's
transactions to be executed for such account on an agency basis. In all trades
directed to Smith Barney, the Fund has been assured that its orders will be
accorded priority over those received from Smith Barney for its own account or
for any of its directors, officers or employees. The Fund will not deal with
Smith Barney in any transaction in which Smith Barney acts as principal.     
   
  Although it is anticipated that most investments of the Portfolio will be
long-term in nature, the rate of portfolio turnover will depend upon market
and other conditions, and it will not be a limiting factor when the Manager
believes that portfolio changes are appropriate. It is expected that the Port-
folio's annual turnover rate will not exceed 100%. As the portfolio turnover
rate increases, so will the Portfolio's brokerage and other transaction
related expenses. Investors should realize that risk of loss is inherent in
the ownership of any securities and that shares of the Portfolio will fluctu-
ate with the market values of its securities.     
 
VALUATION OF SHARES
   
  The Portfolio's net asset value per share is determined as of the close of
regular trading on the NYSE on each day that the NYSE is open, by dividing the
value of the Portfolio's net assets attributable to each Class by the total
number of shares of the Class outstanding.     
 
  Securities that are listed or traded on a securities exchange are valued at
the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they are listed and
securities trading on the NASDAQ System are valued at the last sale price
reported as of the close of the NYSE. If no last sale is reported, the forego-
ing securities and over-the-counter securities other than those traded on the
NASDAQ System are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked
prices. Debt obligations are valued at the mean between the bid and asked quo-
tations for those securities or if no quotations are available, then for secu-
rities of similar type, yield and maturity. Short-term investments that have a
maturity of more than

VALUATION OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
   
60 days are valued at prices based on market quotations for securities of sim-
ilar type, yield and maturity. Short-term investments that have a maturity of
60 days or less are valued at amortized cost when the Board of Directors has
determined that amortized cost equals fair value, unless market conditions
dictate otherwise. Other investments of the Portfolio, if any, including
restricted securities, are valued at a fair value determined by the Board of
Directors in good faith.     
 
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
 
 
  DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
   
  The Fund declares quarterly income dividends on shares of the Portfolio and
makes annual distributions of capital gains, if any, on such shares.     
 
  If a shareholder does not otherwise instruct, dividends and capital gain
distributions will be reinvested automatically in additional shares of the
same Class at net asset value, subject to no sales charge or CDSC.
   
  Income dividends and capital gain distributions that are invested are cred-
ited to shareholders' accounts in additional shares at the net asset value as
of the close of business on the payment date. A shareholder may change the
option at any time by notifying his or her Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
Accounts held directly by First Data should notify First Data in writing at
least five business days prior to the payment date to permit the change to be
entered in the shareholder's account.     
   
  The per share dividends on Class B and Class C shares of the Portfolio may
be lower than the per share dividends on Class A and Class Y shares princi-
pally as a result of the distribution fee applicable with respect to Class B
and Class C shares. The per share dividends on Class A shares of the Portfolio
may be lower than the per share dividends on Class Y shares principally as a
result of the service fee applicable to Class A shares. Distributions of capi-
tal gains, if any, will be in the same amount for Class A, Class B, Class C
and Class Y shares.     
 
  TAXES
   
  The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Code to be relieved of federal income tax on that part of
its net investment income and realized capital gains which it pays out to its
share-

holders. To qualify, the Portfolio must meet certain tests, including distrib-
uting at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, and deriving less
than 30% of its gross income from the sale or other disposition of certain
investments held for less than three months.
   
  Dividends from net investment income and distributions of realized short-term
capital gains on the sale of securities, whether paid in cash or automatically
invested in additional shares of the same Portfolio, are taxable to sharehold-
ers of the Portfolio as ordinary income. The Portfolio's dividends will not
qualify for the dividends received deduction for corporations. Dividends and
distributions declared by the Portfolio may also be subject to state and local
taxes. Distributions out of net long-term capital gains (i.e., net long-term
capital gains in excess of net short-term capital losses) are taxable to share-
holders as long-term capital gains. Information as to the tax status of divi-
dends paid or deemed paid in each calendar year will be mailed to shareholders
as early in the succeeding year as practical but not later than January 31.
    
PURCHASE OF SHARES
 
 
  GENERAL
   
  The Portfolio offers four Classes of shares. Class A shares are sold to
investors with an initial sales charge and Class B and Class C shares are sold
without an initial sales charge but are subject to a CDSC payable upon certain
redemptions. Class Y shares are sold without an initial sales charge or CDSC
and are available only to investors investing a minimum of $5,000,000 (except
for purchases of Class Y shares by Smith Barney Concert Series Inc., for which
there is no minimum purchase amount). The Portfolio also offers a fifth class
of shares: Class Z shares, which are offered without a sales charge, CDSC,
service fee or distribution fee, exclusively to tax-exempt employee benefit and
retirement plans of Smith Barney and its affiliates. Investors meeting these
criteria who are interested in acquiring Class Z shares should contact a Smith
Barney Financial Consultant for a Class Z Prospectus. See "Prospectus Summa-
ry -- Alternative Purchase Arrangements" for a discussion of factors to con-
sider in selecting which Class of shares to purchase.     
 
  Shares may be purchased through a brokerage account maintained with Smith
Barney. Shares may also be purchased through an Introducing Broker or an
investment dealer in the selling group. In addition, certain investors, includ-
 
                                                                              15

ing qualified retirement plans and certain other institutional investors, may
purchase shares directly from the Fund through First Data. When purchasing
shares of the Portfolio, investors must specify whether the purchase is for
Class A, Class B, Class C or Class Y shares. No maintenance fee will be charged
by the Fund in connection with a brokerage account through which an investor
purchases or holds shares.     
   
  Investors in Class A, Class B and Class C shares may open an account by mak-
ing an initial investment of at least $1,000 for each account, or $250 for an
IRA or a Self-Employed Retirement Plan in the Portfolio. Investors in Class Y
shares may open an account by making an initial investment of $5,000,000. Sub-
sequent investments of at least $50 may be made for all Classes. For partici-
pants in retirement plans qualified under Section 403(b)(7) or Section 401(a)
of the Code, the minimum initial investment requirement for Class A, Class B
and Class C shares and the subsequent investment requirement for all Classes in
the Portfolio is $25. For the Portfolio's Systematic Investment Plan, the mini-
mum initial investment requirement for Class A, Class B and Class C shares and
the subsequent investment requirement for all Classes is $50. There are no min-
imum investment requirements in Class A shares for employees of Travelers and
its subsidiaries, including Smith Barney, Directors or Trustees 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 pur-
chased will be held in the shareholder's account by the Fund's transfer agent,
First Data. Share certificates are issued only upon a shareholder's written
request to First Data.     
   
  Purchase orders received by the Fund or Smith Barney prior to the close of
regular trading on the NYSE, on any day a Portfolio calculates its net asset
value, are priced according to the net asset value determined on that day (the
"trade date"). Orders received by dealers or Introducing Brokers prior to the
close of regular trading on the NYSE on any day a Portfolio 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 Smith Barney prior to Smith
Barney's close of business. For shares purchased through Smith Barney or Intro-
ducing Brokers, purchasing through Smith Barney, payment for Portfolio shares
is due on the third business day after the trade date. In all other cases, pay-
ment 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, Smith Barney or First Data is authorized through
preauthorized transfers of $50 or more to charge the regular bank account or
other financial institution indicated by the shareholder on a monthly or quar-
terly basis to provide systematic additions to the shareholder's Portfolio
account. A shareholder who has insufficient funds to complete the transfer will
be charged a fee of up to $25 by Smith Barney or First Data. The Systematic
Investment Plan also authorizes Smith Barney to apply cash held in the share-
holder's 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 Smith Barney Financial Consultant.

* Purchases of Class A shares, which when combined with current holdings of
  Class A shares offered with a sales charge equal or exceed $500,000 in the
  aggregate, will be made at net asset value without any initial sales charge,
  but will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on redemptions made within 12 months
  of purchase. The CDSC on Class A shares is payable to Smith Barney, which
  compensates Smith Barney Financial Consultants and other dealers whose
  clients make purchases of $500,000 or more. The CDSC is waived in the same
  circumstances in which the CDSC applicable to Class B and Class C shares is
  waived. See "Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives" and "Waivers of CDSC."
 
  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 Securities Act
of 1933, as amended.

  The reduced sales charges shown above apply to the aggregate of purchases of
Class A shares of the Portfolio made at one time by "any person," which
includes an individual, his or her spouse and children, or a trustee or other
fiduciary of a single trust estate or single fiduciary account. The reduced
sales charge minimums may also be met by aggregating the purchase with the net
asset value of all Class A shares offered with a sales charge held in funds
sponsored by Smith Barney listed under "Exchange Privilege."
 
 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) Directors, Trustees
and employees of Travelers and its subsidiaries and any of the Smith Barney
Mutual Funds; the immediate families of such persons; and to a pension, prof-
it-sharing or other benefit plan for such persons and (ii) employees of mem-
bers 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 in connection with the combination of such company with the
Portfolio by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise; (c) purchases of
Class A shares by any client of a newly employed Smith Barney Financial Con-
sultant (for a period up to 90 days from the commencement of the Financial
Consultant's employment with 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) shareholders who have redeemed Class A
shares in a Portfolio (or Class A shares of another fund of the Smith Barney
Mutual Funds that are sold with a maximum 5.00% sales charge) and who wish to
reinvest their redemption proceeds in the Portfolio, provided the reinvestment
is made within 60 calendar days of the redemption; and (e) accounts managed by
registered investment advisory subsidiaries of Travelers. 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 a Portfolio may be purchased by "any person" (as defined
above) at a reduced sales charge or at net asset value determined by aggregat-
ing

the dollar amount of the new purchase and the total net asset value of all
Class A shares of the Portfolio and of funds sponsored by Smith Barney which
are offered with a sales charge 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 informa-
tion at the time of purchase to permit verification that the purchase quali-
fies for the reduced sales charge. The right of accumulation is subject to
modification or discontinuance at any time with respect to all shares pur-
chased thereafter.     
 
 GROUP PURCHASES
 
  Upon completion of certain automated systems, a reduced sales charge or pur-
chase at net asset value will also be available to employees (and partners) of
the same employer purchasing as a group, provided each participant makes the
minimum initial investment required. The sales charge applicable to purchases
by each member of such a group will be determined by the table set forth above
under "Initial Sales Charge Alternative--Class A Shares," and will be based
upon the aggregate sales of Class A shares of Smith Barney Mutual Funds
offered with a sales charge to, and share holdings of, all members of the
group. To be eligible for such reduced sales charges or to purchase at net
asset value, all purchases must be pursuant to an employer- or partnership-
sanctioned plan meeting certain requirements. One such requirement is that the
plan must be open to specified partners or employees of the employer and its
subsidiaries, if any. Such plan may, but is not required to, provide for pay-
roll deductions, IRAs or investments pursuant to retirement plans under Sec-
tions 401 or 408 of the Code. Smith Barney may also offer a reduced sales
charge or net asset value purchase for aggregating related fiduciary accounts
under such conditions that Smith Barney will realize economies of sales
efforts and sales related expenses. An individual who is a member of a quali-
fied group may also purchase Class A shares at the reduced sales charge appli-
cable to the group as a whole. The sales charge is based upon the aggregate
dollar value of Class A shares offered with a sales charge that have been pre-
viously purchased and are still owned by the group, plus the amount of the
current purchase. A "qualified group" is one which (a) has been in existence
for more than six months, (b) has a purpose other than acquiring Portfolio
shares at a discount and (c) satisfies uniform criteria which enable Smith
Barney to realize economies of scale in its costs of distributing shares. A
qualified group must have more than 10 members, must be available to arrange
for group meetings between representatives of the Portfolio and the members,
and must agree to include sales and other materials related to
 
                                                                             19

the Portfolio in its publications and mailings to members at no cost to Smith
Barney. In order to obtain such reduced sales charge or to purchase at net
asset value, the purchaser must provide sufficient information at the time of
purchase to permit verification that the purchase qualifies for the reduced
sales charge. Approval of group purchase reduced sales charge plans is subject
to the discretion of Smith Barney.
 
  LETTER OF INTENT
   
  Class A Shares. A Letter of Intent for amounts 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 pur-
chases of all Class A shares of each Portfolio and other funds of the Smith
Barney Mutual Funds offered with a sales charge over a 13 month period based on
the total amount of intended purchases plus the value of all Class A shares
previously purchased and still owned. An alternative is to compute the 13 month
period starting up to 90 days before the date of execution of a Letter of
Intent. 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. Please con-
tact a Smith Barney Financial Consultant or First Data to obtain a Letter of
Intent application.     
   
  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. Such investors must
make an initial minimum purchase of $1,000,000 in Class Y shares of the Portfo-
lio and agree to purchase a total of $5,000,000 of Class Y shares of the same
Portfolio within six months from the date of the Letter. If a total investment
of $5,000,000 is not made within the six-month period, all Class Y shares pur-
chased to date will be transferred to Class A shares, where they will be sub-
ject to all fees (including a service fee of 0.25%) and expenses applicable to
the Portfolio's Class A shares, which may include a CDSC of 1.00%. Please con-
tact a Smith Barney Financial Consultant or First Data for further information.

  DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVES
 
  CDSC Shares are sold at net asset value next determined without an initial
sales charge so that the full amount of an investor's purchase payment may be
immediately invested in a Portfolio. A CDSC, however, may be imposed on cer-
tain redemptions of these shares. "CDSC Shares" are: (a) Class B shares; (b)
Class C shares; and (c) Class A shares which when combined with Class A shares
offered with sales charge currently held by an investor equal or exceed
$500,000 in the aggregate.
 
  Any applicable CDSC 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. CDSC Shares that are redeemed will not be subject to a
CDSC to the extent that the value of such shares represents: (a) capital
appreciation of Portfolio 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 C shares
and Class A shares that are CDSC Shares, shares redeemed more than 12 months
after their purchase.
 
  Class C shares and Class A shares that are CDSC Shares are subject to a
1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. In circumstances in which
the CDSC 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
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 purchases by Participating Plans, as described below. See "Purchase of
Shares -- Smith Barney 401(k) Program."

  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 pro-
portion of Class B Dividend Shares owned by the shareholder 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. Shareholders who held Class B shares of Smith Barney Shearson
Short-Term World Income Fund (the "Short-Term World Income Fund") on July 15,
1994 and who subsequently exchange those shares for Class B shares of the Port-
folio will be offered the opportunity to exchange all such Class B shares for
Class A shares of the Portfolio four years after the date on which those shares
were deemed to have been purchased. Holders of such Class B shares will be
notified of the pending exchange in writing approximately 30 days before the
fourth anniversary of the purchase date and, unless the exchange has been
rejected in writing, the exchange will occur on or about the fourth anniversary
date. See "Prospectus Summary -- Alternative Purchase Arrangements -- Class B
Shares Conversion Feature."     
 
  In determining the applicability of any CDSC, it will be assumed that a
redemption is made first of shares representing capital appreciation, next of
shares representing the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distribu-
tions and finally of other shares held by the shareholder for the longest
period of time. The length of time that CDSC 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 Portfolio 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 CDSC will

PURCHASE OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
 
reduce the gain or increase the loss, as the case may be, on the amount real-
ized on redemption. The amount of any CDSC will be paid to Smith Barney.
 
  To provide an example, assume an investor purchased 100 Class B shares at $10
per share for a cost of $1,000. Subsequently, the investor acquired 5 addi-
tional shares 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 CDSC 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 CDSC
 
  The CDSC 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 twelve
months following the death or disability of the shareholder; (d) redemption of
shares made in connection with qualified distributions from retirement plans or
IRAs upon the attainment of age 59 1/2; (e) involuntary redemptions; and (f)
redemptions of shares in connection with a combination of the Portfolio with
any investment company by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise. In addi-
tion, a shareholder who has redeemed shares from other funds of the Smith Bar-
ney Mutual Funds may, under certain circumstances, reinvest all or part of the
redemption proceeds within 60 days and receive pro rata credit for any CDSC
imposed on the prior redemption.
   
  CDSC waivers will be granted subject to confirmation (by Smith Barney in the
case of shareholders who are also 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) PROGRAM
 
  Investors may be eligible to participate in the Smith Barney 401(k) Program,
which is generally designed to assist plan sponsors in the creation and opera-
tion of retirement plans under Section 401(a) of the Code. To the extent appli-
cable, the same terms and conditions are offered to all Participating Plans in
the Smith Barney 401(k) Program.
   
  The Portfolio offers to Participating Plans Class A, Class B, Class C and
Class Y shares as investment alternatives under the Smith Barney 401(k) Pro-
gram. Class A, Class B and Class C shares acquired through the Smith Barney
401(k) Program are subject to the same service and/or distribution fees as, but
different sales charge and CDSC schedules than, the Class A, Class B and Class
C shares acquired by other investors. Similar to those shares available to
other investors, Class Y shares acquired through the Smith Barney 401(k) Pro-
gram are not subject to any service or distribution fees or any initial sales
charge or CDSC. Once a Participating Plan has made an initial investment in the
Portfolio, all of its subsequent investments in the Portfolio must be in the
same Class of shares, except as otherwise described below.     
   
  Class A Shares. Class A shares of the Portfolio are offered without any ini-
tial sales charge to any Participating Plan that purchases from $500,000 to
$4,999,999 of Class A shares of one or more funds of the Smith Barney Mutual
Funds. Class A shares acquired through the Smith Barney 401(k) Program after
November 7, 1994 are subject to a CDSC of 1.00% of redemption proceeds, if the
Participating Plan terminates within four years of the date the Participating
Plan first enrolled in the Smith Barney 401(k) Program.     
   
  Class B Shares. Class B shares of the Portfolio are offered to any Partici-
pating Plan that purchases less than $250,000 of one or more funds of the
Smith Barney Mutual Funds. Class B shares acquired through the Smith Barney
401(k) Program are subject to a CDSC of 3.00% of redemption proceeds, if the
Participating Plan terminates within eight years of the date the Participating
Plan first enrolled in the Smith Barney 401(k) Program.     
   
  Eight years after the date the Participating Plan enrolled in the Smith Bar-
ney 401(k) Program, it will be offered the opportunity to exchange all of its
Class B shares for Class A shares of the Portfolio. 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 writ-

ing, the exchange will occur on or about the eighth anniversary date. Once the
exchange has occurred, a Participating Plan will not be eligible to acquire
additional Class B shares of the Portfolio but instead may acquire Class A
shares of the Portfolio. If the Participating Plan elects not to exchange all
of its Class B shares at that time, each Class B share held by the Participat-
ing Plan will have the same conversion feature as Class B shares held by other
investors. See "Purchase of Shares -- Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives."
   
  Class C Shares. Class C shares of the Portfolio are offered to any Partici-
pating Plan that purchases from $250,000 to $499,999 of one or more funds of
the Smith Barney Mutual Funds. Class C shares acquired through the Smith Bar-
ney 401(k) Program after November 7, 1994 are subject to a CDSC of 1.00% of
redemption proceeds, if the Participating Plan terminates within four years of
the date the Participating Plan first enrolled in the Smith Barney 401(k) Pro-
gram. Each year after the date a Participating Plan enrolled in the Smith Bar-
ney 401(k) Program, if its total Class C holdings equal at least $500,000 as
of the calendar year-end, the Participating Plan will be offered the opportu-
nity to exchange all of its Class C shares for Class A shares of a Portfolio.
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 fol-
lowing March. Once the exchange has occurred, a Participating Plan will not be
eligible to acquire Class C shares of a Portfolio but instead may acquire
Class A shares of such Portfolio. Any Class C shares not converted will con-
tinue to be subject to the distribution fee.     
   
  Class Y Shares. Class Y shares of the Portfolio are offered without any
service or distribution fees, sales charge or CDSC to any Participating Plan
that purchases $5,000,000 or more of Class Y shares of one or more funds of
the Smith Barney Mutual Funds.     
   
  Whether or not the CDSC applies to a Participating Plan depends on the
number of years since the Participating Plan first became enrolled in the
Smith Barney 401(k) Program, unlike the applicability of the CDSC to other
shareholders, which depends on the number of years since those shareholders
made the purchase payment for the shares which are being redeemed. Where
applicable, the CDSC will be assessed on shares held through the Smith Barney
401(k) Program 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;
provided, however, that shares will not be subject to a CDSC to the extent
that     
 
                                                                             25

the value of such shares represents capital appreciation of Portfolio assets
and/or reinvestments of dividends or capital gain distributions. In addition,
the CDSC will be waived on redemptions of Class A, Class B and Class C shares
in connection with lump-sum or other distributions made by a Participating Plan
as a result of: (a) the retirement of an employee in the Participating Plan;
(b) the termination of employment of an employee in the Participating Plan;
(c) the death or disability of an employee in the Participating Plan; (d) the
attainment of age 59 1/2 by an employee in the Participating Plan; (e) hardship
of an employee in the Participating Plan to the extent permitted under Section
401(k) of the Code; or (f) redemptions of shares in connection with a loan made
by the Participating Plan to an employee.     
   
  Participating Plans wishing to acquire shares of the Portfolio through the
Smith Barney 401(k) Program must purchase such shares directly from First Data.
For further information regarding the Smith Barney 401(k) Program, investors
should contact a Smith Barney Financial Consultant.

  Class A Exchanges. Class A shares of Smith Barney Mutual Funds sold without
a sales charge or with a maximum sales charge of less than the maximum charged
by other Smith Barney Mutual Funds will be subject to the appropriate "sales

cable to purchases of shares of the mutual fund being acquired in the exchange
over the sales charge rate(s) actually paid on the mutual fund shares relin-
quished in the exchange and on any predecessor of those shares. For purposes
of the exchange privilege, shares obtained through automatic reinvestment of
dividends and capital gain distributions are treated as having paid the same
sales charges applicable to the shares on which the dividends or distributions
were paid; however, except in the case of the Smith Barney 401(k) Program, if
no sales charge was imposed upon the initial purchase of the shares, any
shares obtained through automatic reinvestment will be subject to a sales
charge differential upon exchange. Class A shares held in a Portfolio prior to
November 7, 1994 that are subsequently exchanged for shares of other funds in
the Smith Barney Mutual Funds will not be subject to a sales charge differen-
tial.
 
  Class B Exchanges. In the event a Class B shareholder (unless such share-
holder was a Class B shareholder of the Short-Term World Income Fund on July
15, 1994) wishes to exchange all or a portion of his or her shares in any of
the funds imposing a higher CDSC than that imposed by a Portfolio, the
exchanged Class B shares will be subject to the higher applicable CDSC. Upon
an exchange, the new Class B shares will be deemed to have been purchased on
the same date as the Class B shares of the Portfolio that have been exchanged.
 
  Class C Exchanges. Upon an exchange, the new Class C shares will be deemed
to have been purchased on the same date as the Class C shares of the Portfolio
that have been exchanged.
   
  Class Y Exchanges. Class Y shareholders of the Portfolio who wish to
exchange all or a portion of their Class Y shares for Class Y shares in any of
the funds identified above may do so without imposition of any charge.     
   
  Additional Information Regarding the Exchange Privilege. Although the
exchange privilege is an important benefit, excessive exchange transactions
can be detrimental to the Portfolio'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 Portfolio's other shareholders. In this
event, the Fund may, at its discretion, decide to limit additional purchases
and/or exchanges by the 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 Portfolio
or (b) remain invested in the Portfolio or exchange into any of the funds of

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE (CONTINUED)
 
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.
   
  Certain shareholders may be able to exchange shares by telephone. See "Re-
demption of Shares -- Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program." Exchanges
will be processed at the net asset value next determined, plus any applicable
sales charge differential. Redemption procedures discussed below are also
applicable for exchanging shares, and exchanges will be made upon receipt of
all supporting documents in proper form. If the account registration of the
shares of the fund being acquired is identical to the registration of the
shares of the fund exchanged, no signature guarantee is required. A capital
gain or loss for tax purposes will be realized upon the exchange, depending
upon the cost or other basis of shares redeemed. Before exchanging shares,
investors should read the current prospectus describing the shares to be
acquired. The Portfolio reserves the right to modify or discontinue exchange
privileges upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders.     
   
REDEMPTION OF SHARES     
   
  The Fund is required to redeem the shares of the Portfolio tendered to it, as
described below, at a redemption price equal to their net asset value per share
next determined after receipt of a written request in proper form at no charge
other than any applicable CDSC. Redemption requests received after the close of
regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net asset value next determined.
       
  If a shareholder holds shares in more than one Class, any request for redemp-
tion must specify the Class being redeemed. In the event of a failure to spec-
ify which Class, or if the investor owns fewer shares of the Class than speci-
fied, the redemption request will be delayed until the Fund's transfer agent
receives further instructions from Smith Barney, or if the shareholder's
account is not with Smith Barney, from the shareholder directly. The redemption
proceeds will be remitted on or before the third day following receipt of
proper tender, except on any days on which the NYSE is closed or as permitted
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") in extraordinary cir-
cumstances. Generally, if the redemption proceeds are remitted to a Smith Bar-
ney brokerage account, these funds will not be invested for the shareholder's
benefit

without specific instruction and 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.
 
  Shares held by Smith Barney as custodian must be redeemed by submitting a
written request to a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. Shares other than
those held by Smith Barney as custodian may be redeemed through an investor's
Financial Consultant, Introducing Broker or dealer in the selling group or by
submitting a written request for redemption to:

  Class A, B, C or Y (please specify)
     
  c/o First Data Investor Services Group, Inc.     
  P.O. Box 9134
  Boston, Massachusetts 02205-9134
   
  A written redemption request must (a) state the Class and number or dollar
amount of shares to be redeemed, (b) identify the shareholder's account number
and (c) be signed by each registered owner exactly as the shares are regis-
tered. If the shares to be redeemed were issued in certificate form, the cer-
tificates 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 written redemption request in excess of
$2,000, share certificate or stock power 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 $2,000
or less do not require a signature guarantee unless more than one such redemp-
tion request is made in any 10-day period. Redemption proceeds will be mailed
to an investor's address of record. First Data may require additional support-
ing documents for redemptions made by corporations, executors, administrators,
trustees or guardians. A redemption request will not be deemed properly
received until First Data receives all required documents in proper form.     
 
 AUTOMATIC CASH WITHDRAWAL PLAN
   
  The Portfolio offers shareholders an automatic cash withdrawal plan, under
which shareholders who own shares with a value of at least $10,000 may elect
to receive cash payments of at least $50 monthly or quarterly. Retirement plan
    
                                                                             31

accounts are eligible for automatic cash withdrawal plans only where the share-
holder is eligible to receive qualified distributions and has an account value
of at least $5,000. The withdrawal plan will be carried over on exchanges
between funds or Classes of a Portfolio. Any applicable CDSC will not be waived
on amounts withdrawn by a shareholder that exceed 1.00% per month of the value
of the shareholder's shares subject to the CDSC at the time the withdrawal plan
commences. (With respect to withdrawal plans in effect prior to November 7,
1994, any applicable CDSC will be waived on amounts withdrawn that do not
exceed 2.00% per month of the value of the shareholder's shares subject to the
CDSC.) For further information regarding the automatic cash withdrawal plan,
shareholders should contact a Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
     
  TELEPHONE REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE PROGRAM     
   
  Shareholders who do not have a Smith Barney brokerage account may be eligible
to redeem and exchange Portfolio shares by telephone. To determine if a share-
holder is entitled to participate in this program, he or she should contact
First Data at 1-800-451-2010. Once eligibility is confirmed, the shareholder
must complete and return a Telephone/Wire Authorization Form, along with a sig-
nature guarantee, that will be provided by First Data upon request. (Alterna-
tively, an investor may authorize telephone redemptions on the new account
application with the applicant's signature guarantee when making his/her ini-
tial investment in the Porttfolio.)     
   
  Redemptions. Redemption requests of up to $10,000 of any class or classes of
the Portfolio's shares, may be made by eligible shareholders by calling First
Data at 1-800-451-2010. Such requests may be made between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) on any day the NYSE is open. Redemption requests
received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net
asset value next determined. Redemptions of shares (i) by retirement plans or
(ii) for which certificates have been issued are not permitted under this pro-
gram.     
   
  A shareholder will have the option of having the redemption proceeds mailed
to his/her address of record or wired to a bank account predesignated by the
       
shareholder. Generally, redemption proceeds will be mailed or wired, as the
case may be, on the next business day following the redemption request. In
order to use the wire procedures, the bank receiving the proceeds must be a
member of the Federal Reserve System or have a correspondent relationship

REDEMPTION OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
   
with a member bank. The Fund reserves the right to charge shareholders a nomi-
nal fee for each wire redemption. Such charges, if any, will be assessed
against the shareholder's account from which shares were redeemed. In order to
change the bank account designated to receive redemption proceeds, a share-
holder must complete a new Telephone/Wire Authorization Form and, for the pro-
tection of the shareholder's assets, will be required to provide a signature
guarantee and certain other documentation.     
   
  Exchanges. Eligible shareholders may make exchanges by telephone if the
account registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is identical to
the registration of the shares of the fund exchanged. Such exchange requests
may be made by calling First Data at 1-800-451-2010 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) on any day on which the NYSE is open. Exchange
requests received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are processed
at the net asset value next determined.     
   
  Additional Information regarding Telephone Redemption and Exchange
Program. Neither the Fund nor its agents will be liable for following instruc-
tions 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 follow-
ing at least seven (7) days prior notice to shareholders.     
 
MINIMUM ACCOUNT SIZE
 
 
  The Fund reserves the right to involuntarily liquidate any shareholder's
account in a Portfolio if the aggregate net asset value of the shares held in
that Portfolio account is less than $500. (If a shareholder has more than one
account in a Portfolio, 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.
 
 
                                                                              33

PERFORMANCE
   
  From time to time the Portfolio may include its total return, average annual
total return, yield and current dividend return in advertisements and/or other
types of sales literature. These figures are computed separately for Class A,
Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of each Portfolio. 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 rein-
vestment of all income dividends and capital gain distributions on the rein-
vestment dates at prices calculated as stated in this Prospectus, then divid-
ing 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 infor-
mation 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 Portfolio calculates
current dividend return for each of its Classes by dividing the current divi-
dend by the net asset value or the maximum public offering price (including
sales charge) on the last day of the period for which current dividend return
is presented. Each Class' current dividend return may vary from time to time
depending on market conditions, the composition of its investment portfolio
and operating expenses. These factors and possible differences in the methods
used in calculating current dividend return should be considered when compar-
ing a Class' current return to yields published for other investment companies
and other investment vehicles. The Portfolio may also include comparative per-
formance information in advertising or marketing its shares. Such performance
information may include data from Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. and other
financial publications.     
 
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND
 
 
  BOARD OF DIRECTORS
   
  Overall responsibility for management and supervision of the Fund rests with
the Fund's Board of Directors. The Directors approve all significant agree-
ments between the Fund and the companies that furnish services to the Fund and
the Portfolio, including agreements with the Fund's distributor, investment
manager, custodian and transfer agent. The day-to-day operations of the Port-
folio are

delegated to the Manager. The Statement of Additional Information contains
background information regarding each Director and executive officer of the
Fund.
 
  MANAGER
   
  Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. (the "Manager") manages the day-
to-day operations of the Portfolio pursuant to a management agreement entered
into by the Fund on behalf of the Portfolio under which the Manager offers the
Portfolio advice and assistance with respect to the acquisition, holding or
disposal of securities and recommendations with respect to other aspects and
affairs of the Portfolio and furnishes the Portfolio with bookkeeping,
accounting and administrative services, office space and equipment, and the
services of the officers and employees of the Fund. By written agreement the
Research and other departments and staff of Smith Barney will furnish the Man-
ager with information, advice and assistance and will be available for consul-
tation on the Portfolios, thus Smith Barney may also be considered an invest-
ment adviser to the Fund. Smith Barney's services are paid for by the Manager
on the basis of direct and indirect costs to Smith Barney of performing such
services; there is no charge to the Fund for such services.     
   
  For the Fund's last fiscal year the management fee was 0.58% of the Portfo-
lio's average net assets. Total operating expenses of the Portfolio were
1.02%, 1.73% and 1.79% of average net assets for Class A, Class B and Class C
shares, respectively.     
   
  The Manager was incorporated on March 12, 1968 under the laws of Delaware.
As of December 31, 1995 the Manager had aggregate assets under management of
approximately $69 billion. The Manager, Smith Barney and Holdings are each
located at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013. The term "Smith
Barney" in the title of the Fund has been adopted by permission of Smith Bar-
ney and is subject to the right of Smith Barney to elect that the Fund stop
using the term in any form or combination of its name.

DISTRIBUTOR
   
  Smith Barney distributes shares of the Portfolio as principal underwriter
and as such conducts a continuous offering pursuant to a "best efforts"
arrangement requiring Smith Barney to take and pay for only such securities as
may be sold to the public. Pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted by the
Portfolio under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Plan"), Smith Barney is
paid a service fee with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the
Portfolio at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attrib-
utable to these Classes. Smith Barney is also paid a distribution fee with
respect to Class B and Class C shares at the annual rate of 0.75% of the aver-
age daily net assets attributable to these Classes. Class B shares that auto-
matically 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 used by
Smith Barney to pay its Financial Consultants for servicing shareholder
accounts and, in the case of Class B and Class C 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 Smith Barney Financial
Consultants 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 Smith Barney associated with the sale of Portfolio shares,
including lease, utility, communications and sales promotion expenses.

DISTRIBUTOR (CONTINUED)     
 
 
  The payments to Smith Barney Financial Consultants for selling shares of a
Class include a commission or fee paid by the investor or Smith Barney at the
time of sale and, with respect to Class A, Class B and Class C shares, a con-
tinuing fee for servicing shareholder accounts for as long as a shareholder
remains a holder of that Class. Smith Barney Financial Consultants may receive
different levels of compensation for selling different Classes of shares.
          
  Payments under the Plan with respect to Class B and Class C shares are not
tied exclusively to the distribution and shareholder services expenses actu-
ally incurred by Smith Barney and the payments may exceed distribution
expenses actually incurred. The Fund's Board of Directors will evaluate the
appropriateness of the Plan and its payment terms on a continuing basis and in
so doing will consider all relevant factors, including expenses borne by Smith
Barney, amounts received under the Plan and proceeds of the CDSC.     
 
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
 
 
  The Fund, an open-end, diversified investment company, was incorporated in
Maryland on December 2, 1966. The Fund has an authorized capital of
2,000,000,000 shares with a par value of $.01 per share. The Board of Direc-
tors has authorized the issuance of fifteen series of shares, each represent-
ing shares in one of fifteen separate Portfolios and may authorize the issu-
ance of additional series of shares in the future. The assets of each Portfo-
lio are segregated and separately managed and a shareholder's interest is in
the assets of the Portfolio in which he or she holds shares. Class A, Class B,
Class C, Class Y and Class Z (where available) shares of a Portfolio represent
interests in the assets of that Portfolio and have identical voting, dividend,
liquidation and other rights on the same terms and conditions except that
expenses related to the distribution of each Class of shares are borne solely
by each Class and each Class of shares has exclusive voting rights with
respect to provisions of the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan which pertain
to a particular Class. As described under "Voting" in the Statement of Addi-
tional Information, the Fund ordinarily will not hold shareholder meetings;
however, shareholders have the right to call a meeting upon a vote of 10% of
the Fund's outstanding shares for the purpose of voting to remove directors,
and the Fund will assist shareholders in calling such a meeting as required by
the 1940 Act. Shares do not have cumulative voting rights or preemptive rights
and are fully paid, transferable and nonassessable when issued for payment as
described in this Prospectus.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
 
 
  PNC Bank, National Association, located at 17th and Chestnut Streets, Phila-
delphia, Pennsylvania 19103 serves as custodian of the Portfolio's invest-
ments.
   
  First Data, located at Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, serves
as the Fund's transfer agent.     
 
  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 house-
hold having multiple accounts with the identical address of record will
receive a single copy of each report. In addition, the Fund also plans to con-
solidate the mailing of its Prospectus so that a shareholder having multiple
accounts (that is, individual, IRA and/or Self-Employed Retirement Plan
accounts) will receive a single Prospectus annually. Shareholders who do not
want this consolidation to apply to their account should contact their Smith
Barney Financial Consultant or the Fund's transfer agent.

APPENDIX
 
 
  U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS
 
  In addition to Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") securities
and direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury (such as Treasury Bills, Notes and
Bonds), U.S. Government Obligations in which the Fund may invest include: (1)
obligations of, or issued by, Banks for Cooperatives, Federal Land Banks, Fed-
eral Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal Home Loan Banks, the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board, or the Student Loan Marketing Association; (2) other securities
fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United States of America;
(3) other obligations of, or issued by, or fully guaranteed as to principal and
interest by the Federal National Mortgage Association or any agency of the
United States; and (4) obligations currently or previously sold by the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.
 
  FOREIGN INVESTMENTS
   
  The Portfolio will ordinarily purchase foreign securities that are traded in
the United States or purchase American Depositary Receipts, which are certifi-
cates issued by U.S. banks representing the right to receive securities of a
foreign issuer deposited with that bank or a correspondent bank. However, the
Portfolio may purchase the securities of foreign issuers directly in foreign
markets. Foreign securities may involve a high degree of risk. Foreign securi-
ties usually are denominated in foreign currencies, which means their value
will be affected by changes in exchange rates between other currencies and the
U.S. dollar as well as the other factors that affect securities prices. Foreign
companies may not be subject to accounting standards or governmental supervi-
sion comparable to U.S. companies, and there may be less publicly available
information about their operations. There is generally less governmental regu-
lation of foreign securities markets, and security trading practices abroad may
offer less protection to investors such as the Portfolio. Foreign securities
can also be affected by political or financial instability abroad, and may be
less liquid or more volatile than domestic investments.     
 
  SECURITIES LENDING
   
  The Portfolio may seek to increase its net investment income by lending its
securities to unaffiliated brokers, dealers and other financial institutions,
provided such loans are callable at any time and are continuously secured by
cash or U.S. Government securities equal to no less than the market value,
determined daily, of the securities loaned. The risks in lending portfolio
securities     
 
                                                                             A-1
<PAGE>

APPENDIX (CONTINUED)
   
consist of possible delay in recovery of the securities or possible loss of
rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. Management will
limit such lending to not more than twenty percent of the value of the Portfo-
lio's total assets.     
 
  WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES
   
  The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed
delivery basis. When-issued or delayed delivery transactions arise when securi-
ties are purchased or sold by the Portfolio with payment and delivery taking
place in the future in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous
price and yield to the Portfolio at the time of entering into the transaction.
The Fund's Custodian will maintain, in a segregated account of the Portfolio,
cash, U.S. Government securities or other liquid high-grade debt obligations
having a value equal to or greater than the Portfolio's purchase commitments;
the Custodian will likewise segregate securities sold on a delayed basis.     
 
  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
   
  The Portfolio may on occasion enter into repurchase agreements, wherein the
seller agrees to repurchase a security from the Portfolio at an agreed-upon
future date, normally the next business day. The resale price is greater than
the purchase price, which reflects the agreed-upon rate of return for the
period the Portfolio holds the security and which is not related to the coupon
rate on the purchased security. The Fund requires continual maintenance of the
market value of the collateral in amounts at least equal to the resale price,
thus risk is limited to the ability of the seller to pay the agreed-upon amount
on the delivery date; however, if the seller defaults, realization upon the
collateral by the Portfolio may be delayed or limited or the Portfolio might
incur a loss if the value of the collateral securing the repurchase agreement
declines and might incur disposition costs in connection with liquidating the
collateral. The Portfolio will only enter into repurchase agreements with
broker/dealers or other financial institutions that are deemed creditworthy by
the Manager under guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. It is the pol-
icy of the Fund not to invest in repurchase agreements that do not mature
within seven days if any such investment together with any other illiquid
assets held by the Portfolio amount to more than 15% of the Portfolio's total
assets.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
  The following summary is qualified in its entirety by detailed information
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus and in the Statement of Additional
Information. Cross references in this summary are to headings in the Prospec-
tus. See "Table of Contents."
   
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES The Fund is an open-end, management investment company.
The U.S. Government Securities Portfolio seeks high current income, liquidity
and security of principal from a portfolio of U.S. Government Obligations. The
Income Return Account Portfolio seeks high current income from a portfolio of
high quality debt obligations and employs an immunization strategy to minimize
the risk of loss of account value. See "Investment Objectives and Management
Policies."     
   
ALTERNATIVE PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS Each Portfolio offers several classes of
shares ("Classes") to investors designed to provide them with the flexibility
of selecting an investment best suited to their needs. The general public is
offered three Classes of shares: Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C
shares, which differ principally in terms of sales charges and rate of expenses
to which they are subject. A fourth Class of shares, Class Y shares, is offered
only to investors meeting an initial investment minimum of $5,000,000. In addi-
tion, a fifth Class, Class Z shares, which is offered pursuant to a separate
prospectus, is offered exclusively to tax-exempt employee benefit and retire-
ment plans of Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney") and its affiliates. See "Pur-
chase of Shares" and "Redemption of Shares."     
   
  Class A Shares. Class A shares of the U.S. Government Securities Portfolio
are sold at net asset value plus an initial sales charge of up to 4.50% and are
subject to an annual service fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of
the Class. Class A shares of the Income Return Account Portfolio are sold at
net asset value plus an initial sales charge of up to 2.00% and are not subject
to an annual service fee. The initial sales charges may be reduced or waived
for certain purchases. Purchases of Class A shares, which when combined with
current holdings of Class A shares offered with a sales charge equal or exceed
$500,000 in the aggregate, will be made at net asset value with no initial
sales charge, but will be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge
("CDSC") of 1.00% on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. See "Pro-
spectus Summary--Reduced or No Initial Sales Charge."     
 
                                                                               3
<PAGE>
 
Smith Barney Funds, Inc.
 
PROSPECTUS SUMMARY (CONTINUED)
   
  Class B Shares. Class B shares, which are only available in the U.S. Govern-
ment Securities Portfolio, are offered at net asset value subject to a maximum
CDSC of 4.50% of redemption proceeds, declining by 0.50% the first year after
purchase and by 1.00% each year thereafter to zero. This CDSC may be waived
for certain redemptions. Class B shares are subject to an annual service fee
of 0.25% and an annual distribution fee of 0.50% of the average daily net
assets of the Class. The Class B shares' distribution fee may cause that Class
to have higher expenses and pay lower dividends than Class A shares. Class B
shares are not available for purchase in the Income Return Account Portfolio.
    
  Class B Shares Conversion Feature. Class B shares will convert automatically
to Class A shares, based on relative net asset value, eight years after the
date of the original purchase. Upon conversion, these shares will no longer be
subject to an annual distribution fee. In addition, a certain portion of Class
B shares that have been acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and
distributions ("Class B Dividend Shares") will be converted at that time. See
"Purchase of Shares--Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives."
   
  Class C Shares. Class C shares are sold at net asset value with no initial
sales charge at the time of purchase. Class C shares of the U.S. Government
Securities Portfolio are subject to an annual service fee of 0.25% and an
annual distribution fee of 0.45% of the average daily net assets of the Class
C shares. Class C shares of the Income Return Account Portfolio are subject to
an annual service fee of 0.15% and an annual distribution fee of 0.20% of the
average daily net assets of the Class C shares. All Class C investors pay a
CDSC of 1.00% if they redeem Class C shares within 12 months of purchase. The
CDSC may be waived for certain redemptions. The Class C shares' distribution
fee may cause that Class to have higher expenses and pay lower dividends than
Class A shares. Purchases of Portfolio shares, which when combined with cur-
rent holdings of Class C shares of a Portfolio equal or exceed $500,000 in the
aggregate, should be made in Class A shares at net asset value with no sales
charge, and will be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on redemptions made within 12
months of purchase.     
 
  Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are available only to investors meeting an
initial investment minimum of $5,000,000. Class Y shares are sold at net asset
value with no initial sales charge or CDSC. They are not subject to any serv-
ice or distribution fees.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY (CONTINUED)
 
 
  In deciding which Class of Portfolio shares to purchase, investors should
consider the following factors, as well as any other relevant facts and
circumstances:
 
  Intended Holding Period. The decision as to which Class of shares is more
beneficial to an investor depends on the amount and intended length of his or
her investment. Shareholders who are planning to establish a program of regular
investment may wish to consider Class A shares; as the investment accumulates
shareholders may qualify for reduced sales charges and the shares are subject
to lower ongoing expenses over the term of the investment. As an alternative,
Class B and Class C shares are sold without any initial sales charge so the
entire purchase price is immediately invested in a Portfolio. Any investment
return on these additional invested amounts may partially or wholly offset the
higher annual expenses of these Classes. Because a Portfolio's future return
cannot be predicted, however, there can be no assurance that this would be the
case.
 
  Finally, investors should consider the effect of the CDSC period and any con-
version rights of the Classes in the context of their own investment time
frame. For example, while Class C shares have a shorter CDSC period than Class
B shares, they do not have a conversion feature, and therefore, are subject to
an ongoing distribution fee. Thus, Class B shares may be more attractive than
Class C shares to investors with longer term investment outlooks.
 
  Investors investing a minimum of $5,000,000 must purchase Class Y shares,
which are not subject to an initial sales charge, CDSC or service or distribu-
tion fees. The maximum purchase amount for Class A shares is $4,999,999, Class
B shares is $249,999 and Class C shares is $499,999. There is no maximum pur-
chase amount for Class Y shares.
 
  Reduced or No Initial Sales Charge. The initial sales charge on Class A
shares may be waived for certain eligible purchasers, and the entire purchase
price will be immediately invested in the Portfolio. In addition, Class A share
purchases, which when combined with current holdings of Class A shares offered
with a sales charge equal or exceed $500,000 in the aggregate, will be made at
net asset value with no initial sales charge, but will be subject to a CDSC of
1.00% on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. The $500,000 aggregate
investment may be met by adding the purchase to the net asset value of all
Class A shares offered with a sales charge held in funds sponsored by Smith
Barney listed under "Exchange Privilege." Class A share pur-
 
                                                                               5

Smith Barney Funds, Inc.
 
PROSPECTUS SUMMARY (CONTINUED)
 
chases also may be eligible for a reduced initial sales charge. See "Purchase
of Shares." Because the ongoing expenses of Class A shares may be lower than
those for Class B and Class C shares, purchasers eligible to purchase Class A
shares at net asset value or at a reduced sales charge should consider doing
so.
 
  Smith Barney Financial Consultants may receive different compensation for
selling each Class of shares. Investors should understand that the purpose of
the CDSC on the Class B and Class C shares is the same as that of the initial
sales charge on the Class A shares.
 
  See "Purchase of Shares" and "Management of the Fund" for a complete descrip-
tion of the sales charges and service and distribution fees for each Class of
shares and "Valuation of Shares," "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes" and "Ex-

addition, certain investors, including qualified retirement plans and certain
other institutional investors, may purchase shares directly from the Fund
through the Fund's transfer agent, First Data Investor Services Group, Inc.
("First Data"), a subsidiary of First Data Corporation. See "Purchase of
Shares."     
 
INVESTMENT MINIMUMS Investors in Class A, Class B and Class C shares may open

ment Plan. Investors in Class Y shares may open an account for an initial
investment of $5,000,000. Subsequent investments of at least $50 may be made

quent investment requirement for all Classes through the Systematic Investment
Plan described below is $50. See "Purchase of Shares."
 
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN The Portfolio offers shareholders a Systematic
Investment Plan under which they may authorize the automatic placement of a
purchase order each month or quarter for Portfolio shares in an amount of at
least $50. See "Purchase of Shares."
 
REDEMPTION OF SHARES Shares may be redeemed on each day the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") is open for business. See "Purchase of Shares" and "Re-
demption of Shares."
   
MANAGEMENT OF THE PORTFOLIOS Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("the
"Manager") serves as the Portfolios' investment manager. The Manager is a
wholly owned subsidiary of Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"). Holdings is
a wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers Group Inc. ("Travelers"), a diversified
financial services holding company engaged, through its subsidiaries, princi-
pally in four business segments: Investment Services, Consumer Finance Servic-
es, Life Insurance Services and Property & Casualty Insurance Services. See
"Management of the Fund."     
 
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE Shares of a Class may be exchanged for shares of the same
Class of certain other funds of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds at the respective
net asset values next determined, plus any applicable sales charge differen-
tial. See "Exchange Privilege."
 
VALUATION OF SHARES Net asset value of the Portfolio for the prior day gener-
ally is quoted daily in the financial section of most newspapers and is also
available from a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. See "Valuation of Shares."
   
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS Dividends from net investment income are paid
monthly on shares of the U.S. Government Securities Portfolio and the Income
Return Account Portfolio. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any,
are paid annually. See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."     
 
REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS Dividends and distributions paid on shares of a Class
will be reinvested automatically, unless otherwise specified by an investor, in
additional shares of the same Class at current net asset value. Shares acquired
by dividend and distribution reinvestments will not be subject to any
 
                                                                               7

sales charge or CDSC. Class B shares acquired through dividend and distribution
reinvestments will become eligible for conversion to Class A shares on a pro
rata basis. See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."
 
RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS There can be no assurance that each
Portfolio's investment objective will be achieved. The value of each Portfo-
lio's investments, and thus the net asset value of each Portfolio's shares,
will fluctuate in response to changes in market and economic conditions, as
well as the financial condition and prospects of issuers in which the Portfolio
invests. See "Investment Objectives and Management Policies."
 
THE PORTFOLIOS' EXPENSES The following expense table lists the costs and
expenses an investor will incur either directly or indirectly as a shareholder
of the Portfolios, based on the maximum sales charge or maximum CDSC that may
be incurred at the time of purchase or redemption and each Portfolio's operat-
ing expenses for its most recent fiscal year:

 * Purchases of Class A shares, which when combined with current holdings of
   Class A shares offered with a sales charge equal or exceed $500,000 in the
   aggregate, will be made at net asset value with no sales charge, but will
   be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% on redemptions made within 12 months.
 ** Upon conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares, such shares will no
    longer be subject to a distribution fee. Class C shares do not have a
    conversion feature and, therefore, are subject to an ongoing distribution
    fee. As a result, long-term shareholders of Class C shares may pay more
    than the economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charge
    permitted by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
       
  The sales charge and CDSC set forth in the above table are the maximum
charges imposed on purchases or redemptions of Portfolio shares and investors
may actually pay lower or no charges, depending on the amount purchased and,
in the case of Class B, Class C and certain Class A shares, the length of time
the shares are held and whether the shares are held through the Smith Barney
401(k) Program. See "Purchase of Shares" and "Redemption of Shares."

that Class, consisting of a 0.50% distribution fee and a 0.25% service fee. For
Class C shares, Smith Barney also receives an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.70% of the
value of average daily net assets of this Class, consisting of a 0.45% distri-
bution fee and a 0.25% service fee. With respect to the Income Return Account
Portfolio, Smith Barney receives an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.35% of the value of
average daily net assets of Class C shares, consisting of a 0.20% distribution

for shareholder services, custodial fees, legal and accounting fees, printing
costs and registration fees.

  The example also provides a means for the investor to compare expense levels
of funds with different fee structures over varying investment periods. To
facilitate such comparison, all funds are required to utilize a 5.00% annual
return assumption. However, each Portfolio's actual return will vary and may be
greater or less than 5.00%. THIS EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTA-
TION OF PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES AND ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN
THOSE SHOWN.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES
   
  The U.S. Government Securities Portfolio seeks high current income, liquid-
ity and security of principal by investing in obligations of the U.S. Govern-
ment, its agencies or its instrumentalities and related repurchase and reverse
repurchase agreements. The Income Return Account Portfolio seeks high current
income from a portfolio of high quality debt obligations and employs an "immu-
nization strategy" (see below) to minimize the risk of loss of account value.
Of course, no assurance can be given that a Portfolio's objective will be
achieved.     
   
  The U.S. Government Securities Portfolio invests primarily in Government
National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") Certificates of the modified pass-
through type and will also normally include other "U.S. Government Obliga-
tions," i.e., obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States, its agen-
cies or its instrumentalities and related repurchase and reverse repurchase
agreements (reverse repurchase agreement transactions are limited to no more
than 5% of the Portfolio's net assets). Under normal market conditions, the
Portfolio will seek to invest substantially all of its assets -- and the Port-
folio will invest not less than 65% of its assets -- in such securities. GNMA
Certificates are debt securities issued by a mortgage banker or other mort-
gagee representing an interest in a pool of mortgages insured by the Federal
Housing Administration or the Farmers Home Administration or guaranteed by the
Veterans Administration. The National Housing Act provides that the full faith
and credit of the United States is pledged to the timely payment of principal
and interest by GNMA of amounts due on these GNMA Certificates. Securities of
the type to be purchased for these Portfolios have historically involved no
credit risk; however, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value
of such securities will vary during the period of a shareholder's investment
in the Portfolio. The average life of GNMA Certificates varies with the matu-
rities of the underlying mortgages (with maximum maturities of 30 years) but
is likely to be substantially less than the original maturity of the mortgage
pools underlying the securities as the result of prepayments, refinancing of
such mortgages or foreclosure. Unscheduled prepayments of mortgages are passed
through to the holders of GNMA Certificates at par and will increase or
decrease the yield realized by the Portfolio, depending on the cost of the
underlying Certificate and its market value at the time of prepayment. As a
hedge against changes in interest rates, the U.S. Government Securities Port-
folio may enter into agreements with dealers in GNMA Certificates to purchase
or sell an agreed-upon principal amount of GNMA Certificates at a specified
price on a certain date; provided, however, that settlement occurs within 120
days of the trade date. For a detailed explanation, see "Appendix."     
 
                                                                             17

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
 
  The Income Return Account Portfolio invests in U.S. Government Obligations
(see "Appendix"), bankers' acceptances, certificates of deposit, securities
backed by letters of credit, commercial paper rated A-1 by Standard & Poor's
Corporation ("S&P") or Prime-1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")
and notes and bonds, including floating rate issues, rated A or better by S&P
or Moody's or, if not rated, of comparable quality as determined by the Manag-
er. The Portfolio's investments in U.S. Government Obligations will be in obli-
gations with remaining maturities of five years or less, and its investments in
corporate debt obligations will be in obligations with remaining maturities of
three years or less. Normally, approximately one-third of the Portfolio will
consist of obligations that have remaining maturities of less than one year;
however, it is expected there may be occasions when up to 100% of the Portfolio
will be invested in securities maturing within one year. This portfolio compo-
sition is intended to achieve a higher level of income than would otherwise be
available from an exclusively short-term portfolio with substantially less risk
than that of a conventional bond or note portfolio. While minor day-to-day
price fluctuations are unavoidable, it is believed that the Portfolio's immuni-
zation strategy will produce sufficient income accrual during adverse market
conditions to offset any potential loss in the Portfolio security value mea-
sured over a three month period.
   
  The U.S. Government Securities Portfolio may seek to increase its net invest-
ment income by lending its securities to unaffiliated brokers, dealers and
other financial institutions, provided such loans are callable at any time and
are continuously secured by cash or U.S. Government Obligations equal to no
less than the market value, determined daily, of the securities loaned. Manage-
ment will limit such lending to not more than one-third of the value of the
Portfolio's total assets. The risks in lending portfolio securities consist of
possible delay in recovery of the securities or possible loss of rights in the
collateral should the borrower fail financially. The Statement of Additional
Information contains more detailed information.     
   
  The Board of Directors of the Fund may modify the investment objective and
policies of the U.S. Government Securities Portfolio provided such modification
is not prohibited by the investment restrictions (which are set forth in the
Statement of Additional Information) or applicable laws, and any such change
will first be disclosed in the then current prospectus. The investment objec-
tive and policies of the Income Return Account Portfolio whose objective and
policies may be changed only by the "vote of a majority of the outstanding vot-
ing securities", as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940
Act").

 PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
   
  Neither of the Portfolios will engage in the trading of securities for the
purpose of realizing short-term profits; however, each Portfolio will adjust
its portfolio as considered advisable in view of prevailing or anticipated mar-
ket conditions and the Portfolio's investment objective. As the portfolio turn-
over rate increases, so will the Portfolio's dealer mark-ups and other transac-
tion related expenses. Investors should realize that risk of loss is inherent
in the ownership of any securities and that shares of a Portfolio will fluctu-
ate with the market value of its securities.     
 
VALUATION OF SHARES
 
 
  Each Portfolio's net asset value per share is determined as of the close of
regular trading on the NYSE, on each day that the NYSE is open, by dividing the
value of the Portfolio's net assets attributable to each Class by the total
number of shares of the Class outstanding.
 
  Obligations are valued at the mean between the bid and asked quotations for
such securities or if no quotations are available, then for securities of simi-
lar type, yield and maturity. Short-term investments that have a maturity of
more than 60 days are valued at prices based on market quotations for securi-
ties of similar type, yield and maturity. Short-term investments that have a
maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost when the Board of
Directors has determined that amortized cost equals fair value, unless market
conditions dictate otherwise. Other investments of a Portfolio, including
restricted securities, if any, are valued at a fair value determined by the
Board of Directors in good faith.
 
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
 
 
 DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
   
  The Fund declares monthly income dividends on shares of the U.S. Government
Securities Portfolio and the Income Return Account Portfolio and makes annual
distributions of capital gains, if any, on such shares.     
 
  If a shareholder does not otherwise instruct, dividends and capital gain dis-
tributions will be reinvested automatically in additional shares of the same
Class at net asset value, subject to no sales charge or CDSC.
 
                                                                              19

Smith Barney Funds, Inc.
 
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES (CONTINUED)
   
  Income dividends and capital gain distributions that are invested are cred-
ited to shareholders' accounts in additional shares at the net asset value as
of the close of business on the payment date. A shareholder may change the
option at any time by notifying his or her Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
Accounts held directly by First Data should notify First Data in writing at
least five business days prior to the payment date to permit the change to be
entered in the shareholder's account.     
 
  The per share dividends on Class B and Class C shares of each Portfolio may
be lower than the per share dividends on Class A and Class Y shares principally
as a result of the distribution fee applicable with respect to Class B and
Class C shares. The per share dividends on Class A shares of each Portfolio may
be lower than the per share dividends on Class Y shares principally as a result
of the service fee applicable to Class A shares. Distributions of capital
gains, if any, will be in the same amount for Class A, Class B, Class C and
Class Y shares.
 
 TAXES
 
  Each Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Code to be relieved of federal income tax on that part of
its net investment income and realized capital gains which it pays out to its
shareholders. To qualify, each Portfolio must meet certain tests, including
distributing at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, and deriv-
ing less than 30% of its gross income from the sale or other disposition of
certain investments held for less than three months.
 
  Dividends from net investment income and distributions of realized short-term
capital gains on the sale of securities, whether paid in cash or automatically
invested in additional shares of a Portfolio, are taxable to shareholders as
ordinary income. Each Portfolio's dividends will not qualify for the dividends
received deduction for corporations. Dividends and distributions declared by
each Portfolio may also be subject to state and local taxes. Distributions out
of net long-term capital gains (i.e., net long-term capital gains in excess of
net short-term capital losses) are taxable to shareholders as long-term capital
gains. Information as to the tax status of dividends paid or deemed paid in
each calendar year will be mailed to shareholders as early in the succeeding
year as practical but not later than January 31.
 
  It is the policy of the Fund to comply with requirements of the Internal Rev-
enue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of

the taxable income and net taxable gains of each Portfolio to its shareholders.
Dividends derived from net investment income and capital gains on the sale of
securities, whether paid in cash or automatically invested in additional shares
of the same Portfolio, are taxable to shareholders of each Portfolio. Informa-
tion as to the tax status of dividends deemed paid in each calendar year will
be mailed to shareholders as early in the succeeding year as practical but no
later than January 31. The foregoing relates to Federal income taxation. Divi-
dends may also be subject to state and local taxes; investors should consult
with their tax advisors regarding state and local taxes.
 
PURCHASE OF SHARES
 
 
 GENERAL
   
  Each Portfolio offers several Classes of shares. Class A shares are sold to
investors with an initial sales charge and Class B and Class C shares are sold
without an initial sales charge but are subject to a CDSC payable upon certain
redemptions. Class Y shares are sold without an initial sales charge or CDSC
and are available only to investors investing a minimum of $5,000,000 (except
for purchases of Class Y shares by Smith Barney Concert Series Inc., for which
there is no minimum purchase amount). A fifth class, Class Z shares, are also
offered with respect to each of the U.S. Government Securities Portfolio and
the Income Return Account Portfolio. Class Z shares are offered without a sales
charge, CDSC, service fee or distribution fee exclusively to tax-exempt
employee benefit and retirement plans of Smith Barney and its affiliates.
Investors meeting these criteria who are interested in acquiring Class Z shares
should contact a Smith Barney Financial Consultant for a Class Z Prospectus.
See "Prospectus Summary -- Alternative Purchase Arrangements" for a discussion
of factors to consider in selecting which Class of shares to purchase.     
   
  Shares may be purchased through a brokerage account maintained with Smith
Barney. Shares may also be purchased through an Introducing Broker or an
investment dealer in the selling group. In addition, certain investors, includ-
ing qualified retirement plans and certain other institutional investors, may
purchase shares directly from the Fund through First Data. When purchasing
shares of a Portfolio, investors must specify whether the purchase is for Class
A, Class B, Class C or Class Y shares. No maintenance fee will be charged by
    
                                                                              21

the Fund in connection with a brokerage account through which an investor pur-
chases or holds shares.
   
  Investors in Class A, Class B and Class C shares may open an account by mak-
ing an initial investment of at least $1,000 for each account, or $250 for an
IRA or a Self-Employed Retirement Plan in each Portfolio. Investors in Class Y
shares may open an account by making an initial investment of $5,000,000. Sub-
sequent investments of at least $50 may be made for all Classes. For partici-
pants in retirement plans qualified under Section 403(b)(7) or Section 401(a)
of the Code, the minimum initial investment requirement for Class A, Class B
and Class C shares and the subsequent investment requirement for all Classes in
each Portfolio is $25. For each Portfolio's Systematic Investment Plan, the
minimum initial investment requirement for Class A, Class B and Class C shares
and the subsequent investment requirement for all Classes is $50. There are no
minimum investment requirements in Class A shares for employees of Travelers
and its subsidiaries, including Smith Barney, Directors or Trustees 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 pur-
chased will be held in the shareholder's account by the Fund's transfer agent,
First Data. Share certificates are issued only upon a shareholder's written
request to First Data.     
   
  Purchase orders for a Portfolio that are received by the Fund or Smith Barney
prior to the close of regular trading on the NYSE, on any day the Portfolio
calculates its net asset value, are priced according to the net asset value
determined on that day (the "trade date"). Orders received by dealers or Intro-
ducing Brokers prior to the close of regular trading on the NYSE on any day a
Portfolio 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
Smith Barney prior to Smith Barney's close of business. For shares purchased
through Smith Barney or Introducing Brokers purchasing through Smith Barney,
payment for Portfolio shares is due on the third 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, Smith Barney or First Data is authorized through
preauthorized transfers of $50 or more to charge the regular bank

account or other financial institution indicated by the shareholder on a
monthly or quarterly basis to provide systematic additions to the sharehold-
er's Portfolio account. A shareholder who has insufficient funds to complete
the transfer will be charged a fee of up to $25 by Smith Barney or First Data.
The Systematic Investment Plan also authorizes Smith Barney to apply cash held
in the shareholder's Smith Barney brokerage account or redeem the sharehold-
er's shares of a Smith Barney money market fund to make additions to the
account. Additional information is available from the Fund or a Smith Barney
Financial Consultant.

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

PURCHASE OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
 
 
  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 Securities Act
of 1933, as amended.
 
  The reduced sales charges shown above apply to the aggregate of purchases of
Class A shares of each Portfolio made at one time by "any person," which
includes an individual, his or her spouse and children, or a trustee or other
fiduciary of a single trust estate or single fiduciary account. The reduced
sales charge minimums may also be met by aggregating the purchase with the net
asset value of all Class A shares offered with a sales charge held in funds
sponsored by Smith Barney listed under "Exchange Privilege."
 
 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) Directors, Trustees and
employees of Travelers and its subsidiaries and any of the Smith Barney Mutual
Funds; the immediate families of such persons; 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 in
connection with the combination of such company with a Portfolio by merger,
acquisition of assets or otherwise; (c) purchases of Class A shares by any
client of a newly employed Smith Barney Financial Consultant (for a period up
to 90 days from the commencement of the Financial Consultant's employment with
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)
shareholders who have redeemed Class A shares in a Portfolio (or Class A shares
of another fund of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds that are offered with a sales
charge equal to or greater than the maximum sales charge of a Portfolio) and
who wish to reinvest their redemption proceeds in a Portfolio, provided the
reinvestment is made within 60 calendar days of the redemption; and (e)
accounts managed by registered investment advisory subsidiaries of Travelers;
and (f) 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 a Portfolio may be purchased by "any person" (as defined
above) at a reduced sales charge or at net asset value determined by aggregat-
ing the dollar amount of the new purchase and the total net asset value of all
Class A shares of a Portfolio and of funds sponsored by Smith Barney which are
offered with a sales charge 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 informa-
tion at the time of purchase to permit verification that the purchase quali-
fies for the reduced sales charge. The right of accumulation is subject to
modification or discontinuance at any time with respect to all shares pur-
chased thereafter.     
 
 GROUP PURCHASES
 
  Upon completion of certain automated systems, a reduced sales charge or pur-
chase at net asset value will also be available to employees (and partners) of
the same employer purchasing as a group, provided each participant makes the
minimum initial investment required. The sales charge applicable to purchases
by each member of such a group will be determined by the table set forth above
under "Initial Sales Charge Alternative -- Class A Shares" and will be based
upon the aggregate sales of Class A shares of Smith Barney Mutual Funds
offered with a sales charge to, and share holdings of, all members of the
group. To be eligible for such reduced sales charges or to purchase at net
asset value, all purchases must be pursuant to an employer- or partnership-
sanctioned plan meeting certain requirements. One such requirement is that the
plan must be open to specified partners or employees of the employer and its
subsidiaries, if any. Such plan may, but is not required to, provide for pay-
roll deductions, IRAs or investments pursuant to retirement plans under Sec-
tions 401 or 408 of the Code. Smith Barney may also offer a reduced sales
charge or net asset value purchase for aggregating related fiduciary accounts
under such conditions that Smith Barney will realize economies of sales
efforts and sales related expenses. An individual who is a member of a quali-
fied group may also purchase Class A shares at the reduced sales charge appli-
cable to the group as a whole. The sales charge is based upon the aggregate
dollar value of Class A shares offered with a sales charge that have been pre-
viously purchased and are still owned by the
 
                                                                             25

group, plus the amount of the current purchase. A "qualified group" is one
which (a) has been in existence for more than six months, (b) has a purpose
other than acquiring Portfolio shares at a discount and (c) satisfies uniform
criteria which enables Smith Barney to realize economies of scale in its costs
of distributing shares. A qualified group must have more than 10 members, must
be available to arrange for group meetings between representatives of the Port-
folio and the members, and must agree to include sales and other materials
related to the Portfolio in its publications and mailings to members at no cost
to Smith Barney. In order to obtain such reduced sales charge or to purchase at
net asset value, the purchaser must provide sufficient information at the time
of purchase to permit verification that the purchase qualifies for the reduced
sales charge. Approval of group purchase reduced sales charge plans is subject
to the discretion of Smith Barney.
 
 LETTER OF INTENT
   
  Class A Shares. A Letter of Intent for amounts 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 pur-
chases of all Class A shares of each Portfolio and other funds of the Smith
Barney Mutual Funds offered with a sales charge over a 13 month period based on
the total amount of intended purchases plus the value of all Class A shares
previously purchased and still owned. An alternative is to compute the 13 month
period starting up to 90 days before the date of execution of a Letter of
Intent. 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. Please con-
tact a Smith Barney Financial Consultant or First Data to obtain a Letter of
Intent application.     
 
  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. Such investors must
make an initial minimum purchase of $1,000,000 in Class Y shares of a Portfolio
and agree to purchase a total of $5,000,000 of Class Y shares of the same Port-
folio within six months from the date of the Letter. If a total investment of
$5,000,000 is not made within the six-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%) (except the Income
Return Account Portfolio's Class A shares will not be subject to a service
fee) and expenses applicable to the Portfolio's Class A shares, which may
include a CDSC of 1.00%. Please contact a Smith Barney Financial Consultant or
First Data for further information.     
 
 DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVES
   
  Class B shares are only available in the U.S. Government Securities Portfo-
lio. Class C shares are available in each Portfolio.     
 
  CDSC Shares are sold at net asset value next determined without an initial
sales charge so that the full amount of an investor's purchase payment may be
immediately invested in a Portfolio. A CDSC, however, may be imposed on cer-
tain redemptions of these shares. "CDSC Shares" are: (a) Class B shares; (b)
Class C shares; and (c) Class A shares which when combined with Class A shares
offered with a sales charge currently held by an investor equal or exceed
$500,000 in the aggregate.
 
  Any applicable CDSC 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. CDSC Shares that are redeemed will not be subject to a
CDSC to the extent that the value of such shares represents: (a) capital
appreciation of Portfolio 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 C shares
and Class A shares that are CDSC Shares, shares redeemed more than 12 months
after their purchase.
 
  Class C shares and Class A shares that are CDSC Shares are subject to a
1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase. In circumstances in which
the CDSC 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
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 purchases by Participating Plans, as described below. See "Purchase of
Shares -- Smith Barney 401(k) Program."

  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 pro-
portion of Class B Dividend Shares owned by the shareholder 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. Shareholders who held Class B shares of Smith Barney Shearson
Short-Term World Income Fund (the "Short-Term World Income Fund") on July 15,
1994 and who subsequently exchange those shares for Class B shares of a Portfo-
lio will be offered the opportunity to exchange all such Class B shares for
Class A shares of the Portfolio four years after the date on which those shares
were deemed to have been purchased. Holders of such Class B shares will be
notified of the pending exchange in writing approximately 30 days before the
fourth anniversary of the purchase date and, unless the exchange has been
rejected in writing, the exchange will occur on or about the fourth anniversary
date. See "Prospectus Summary -- Alternative Purchase Arrangements -- Class B
Shares Conversion Feature."
 
  In determining the applicability of any CDSC, it will be assumed that a
redemption is made first of shares representing capital appreciation, next of
shares representing the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distribu-
tions and finally of other shares held by the shareholder for the longest
period of time. The length of time that CDSC 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 Portfolio 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 CDSC will reduce the gain or increase the loss, as the case may be, on
the amount realized on redemption. The amount of any CDSC will be paid to Smith
Barney.

PURCHASE OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
 
 
  To provide an example, assume an investor purchased 100 Class B shares at $10
per share for a cost of $1,000. Subsequently, the investor acquired 5 addi-
tional shares 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 CDSC 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 CDSC
 
  The CDSC 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 twelve
months following the death or disability of the shareholder; (d) redemption of
shares made in connection with qualified distributions from retirement plans or
IRAs upon the attainment of age 59 1/2; (e) involuntary redemptions; and (f)
redemptions of shares in connection with a combination of a Portfolio with any
investment company by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise. In addition,
a shareholder who has redeemed shares from other funds of the 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 CDSC
imposed on the prior redemption.
   
  CDSC waivers will be granted subject to confirmation (by Smith Barney in the
case of shareholders who are also 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) PROGRAM
 
  Investors may be eligible to participate in the Smith Barney 401(k) Program,
which is generally designed to assist plan sponsors in the creation and opera-
tion

of retirement plans under Section 401(a) of the Code. To the extent applica-
ble, the same terms and conditions are offered to all Participating Plans in
the
Smith Barney 401(k) Program.
   
  The U.S. Government Securities Portfolio offers to Participating Plans Class
A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares as investment alternatives under the
Smith Barney 401(k) Program; the Income Return Account Portfolio offers Class
A, Class C and Class Y shares. Class A, Class B and Class C shares acquired
through the Smith Barney 401(k) Program are subject to the same service and/or
distribution fees as, but different sales charge and CDSC schedules than, the
Class A, Class B and Class C shares acquired by other investors. Similar to
those shares available to other investors, Class Y shares acquired through the
Smith Barney 401(k) Program are not subject to any service or distribution
fees or any initial sales charge or CDSC. Once a Participating Plan has made
an initial investment in a Portfolio, all of its subsequent investments in the
Portfolio must be in the same Class of shares, except as otherwise described
below.     
 
  Class A Shares. Class A shares of each Portfolio are offered without any
initial sales charge to any Participating Plan that purchases from $500,000 to
$4,999,999 of Class A shares of one or more funds of the Smith Barney Mutual
Funds. Class A shares acquired through the Smith Barney 401(k) Program after
November 7, 1994 are subject to a CDSC of 1.00% of redemption proceeds, if the
Participating Plan terminates within four years of the date the Participating
Plan first enrolled in the Smith Barney 401(k) Program.
 
  Class B Shares. Class B shares of each applicable Portfolio are offered to
any Participating Plan that purchases less than $250,000 of one or more funds
of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds. Class B shares acquired through the Smith
Barney 401(k) Program are subject to a CDSC of 3.00% of redemption proceeds,
if the Participating Plan terminates within eight years of the date the Par-
ticipating Plan first enrolled in the Smith Barney 401(k) Program.
 
  Eight years after the date the Participating Plan enrolled in the Smith Bar-
ney 401(k) Program, it will be offered the opportunity to exchange all of its
Class B shares for Class A shares of a Portfolio. 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 the exchange has occurred, a Participating Plan will not be eligible to
acquire addi-

PURCHASE OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
 
tional Class B shares of the Portfolio but instead may acquire Class A shares
of the Portfolio. If the Participating Plan elects not to exchange all of its
Class B shares at that time, each Class B share held by the Participating Plan
will have the same conversion feature as Class B shares held by other invest-
ors. See "Purchase of Shares -- Deferred Sales Charge Alternatives."
 
  Class C Shares. Class C shares of each Portfolio are offered to any Partici-
pating Plan that purchases from $250,000 to $499,999 of one or more funds of
the Smith Barney Mutual Funds. Class C shares acquired through the
Smith Barney 401(k) Program after November 7, 1994 are subject to a CDSC of
1.00% of redemption proceeds, if the Participating Plan terminates within four
years of the date the Participating Plan first enrolled in the Smith Barney
401(k) Program. Each year after the date a Participating Plan enrolled in the
Smith Barney 401(k) Program, if its total Class C holdings 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 C shares for Class A shares of a
Portfolio. 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. Once the exchange has occurred, a Participating Plan
will not be eligible to acquire Class C shares of a Portfolio but instead may
acquire Class A shares of the Portfolio. Any Class C shares not converted will
continue to be subject to the distribution fee.
 
  Class Y Shares. Class Y shares of each Portfolio are offered without any
service or distribution fees, sales charge or CDSC to any Participating Plan
that purchases $5,000,000 or more of Class Y shares of one or more funds of
the Smith Barney Mutual Funds.
   
  Whether or not the CDSC applies to a Participating Plan depends on the num-
ber of years since the Participating Plan first became enrolled in the Smith
Barney 401(k) Program, unlike the applicability of the CDSC to other share-
holders, which depends on the number of years since those shareholders made
the purchase payment for the shares which are being redeemed. Where applica-
ble, the CDSC will be assessed on shares held through the Smith Barney 401(k)
Program 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; provided,
however, that shares will not be subject to a CDSC to the extent that the
value of such

shares represents capital appreciation of Portfolio assets and/or reinvestments
of dividends or capital gain distributions. In addition, the CDSC will be
waived on redemptions of Class A, Class B and Class C shares in connection with
lump-sum or other distributions made by a Participating Plan as a result of:
(a) the retirement of an employee in the Participating Plan; (b) the termina-
tion of employment of an employee in the Participating Plan; (c) the death or
disability of an employee in the Participating Plan; (d) the attainment of age
59 1/2 by an employee in the Participating Plan; (e) hardship of an employee in
the Participating Plan to the extent permitted under Section 401(k) of the
Code; or (f) redemptions of shares in connection with a loan made by the Par-
ticipating Plan to an employee.     
          
  Participating Plans wishing to acquire shares of a Portfolio through the
Smith Barney 401(k) Program must purchase such shares directly from First Data.
For further information regarding the Smith Barney 401(k) Program, investors
should contact a Smith Barney Financial Consultant.

imum investment requirements and all shares are subject to the other require-
ments of the fund into which exchanges are made and a sales charge differential

  Class A Exchanges. Class A shares of Smith Barney Mutual Funds sold without
a sales charge or with a maximum sales charge of less than the maximum charged
by other Smith Barney Mutual Funds will be subject to the appropriate "sales
charge differential" upon the exchange of such shares for Class A shares of a
fund sold with a higher sales charge. The "sales charge differential" is lim-
ited to a percentage rate no greater than the excess of the sales charge rate
applicable to purchases of shares of the mutual fund being acquired in the
exchange over the sales charge rate(s) actually paid on the mutual fund shares
relinquished in the exchange and on any predecessor of those shares. For pur-
poses of the exchange privilege, shares obtained through automatic reinvest-
ment of dividends and capital gain distributions are treated as having paid
the same sales charges applicable to the shares on which the dividends or dis-
tributions were paid; however, except in the case of the Smith Barney 401(k)
Program, if no sales charge was imposed upon the initial purchase of the
shares, any shares obtained through automatic reinvestment will be subject to
a sales charge differential upon exchange. Class A shares held in a Portfolio
prior to November 7, 1994 that are subsequently exchanged for shares of other
funds of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds will not be subject to a sales charge
differential.
 
  Class B Exchanges. In the event a Class B shareholder (unless such share-
holder was a Class B shareholder of the Short-Term World Income Fund on July
15, 1994) wishes to exchange all or a portion of his or her shares in any of
the funds imposing a higher CDSC than that imposed by a Portfolio, the
exchanged Class B shares will be subject to the higher applicable CDSC. Upon
an exchange, the new Class B shares will be deemed to have been purchased on
the same date as the Class B shares of the Portfolio that have been exchanged.
 
  Class C Exchanges. Upon an exchange, the new Class C shares will be deemed
to have been purchased on the same date as the Class C shares of a Portfolio
that have been exchanged.
 
  Class Y Exchanges. Class Y shareholders of each Portfolio who wish to
exchange all or a portion of their Class Y shares for Class Y shares in any of
the funds identified above may do so without imposition of any charge.
 
  Additional Information Regarding the Exchange Privilege. Although the
exchange privilege is an important benefit, excessive exchange transactions
can be detrimental to each Portfolio's performance and its shareholders. The
Manager may determine that a pattern of frequent exchanges is excessive
 
                                                                             35

and contrary to the best interests of each Portfolio's other shareholders. In
this event, the Fund may, at its discretion, decide to limit additional pur-
chases and/or exchanges by the 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 Portfo-
lio or (b) remain invested in the Portfolio 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.     
   
  Certain shareholders may be able to exchange shares by telephone. See
"Redemption of Shares -- Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program." Exchanges
will be processed at the net asset value next determined, plus any applicable
sales charge differential. Redemption procedures discussed below are also
applicable for exchanging shares, and exchanges will be made upon receipt of
all supporting documents in proper form. If the account registration of the
shares of the fund being acquired is identical to the registration of the
shares of the fund exchanged, no signature guarantee is required. A capital
gain or loss for tax purposes will be realized upon the exchange, depending
upon the cost or other basis of shares redeemed. Before exchanging shares,
investors should read the current prospectus describing the shares to be
acquired. Each Portfolio reserves the right to modify or discontinue exchange
privileges upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders.     
 
REDEMPTION OF SHARES
 
 
  The Fund is required to redeem the shares of each Portfolio tendered to it,
as described below, at a redemption price equal to their net asset value per
share next determined after receipt of a written request in proper form at no
charge other than any applicable CDSC. Redemption requests received after the
close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net asset value next
determined. 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 Fund's transfer
agent receives further instructions from Smith Barney, or if the shareholder's
account
 
36

REDEMPTION OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
   
is not with Smith Barney, from the shareholder directly. The redemption pro-
ceeds will be remitted on or before the third 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 pro-
ceeds are remitted to a Smith Barney brokerage account, these funds will not
be invested for the shareholder's benefit without specific instruction and
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.     
 
  Shares held by Smith Barney as custodian must be redeemed by submitting a
written request to a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. Shares other than
those held by Smith Barney as custodian may be redeemed through an investor's
Financial Consultant, Introducing Broker or dealer in the selling group or by
submitting a written request for redemption to:
 
  Smith Barney Funds, Inc./[Name of Portfolio (please specify)]
  Class A,B,C or Y (please specify)
     
  c/o First Data Investor Services Group, Inc.     
  P.O. Box 9134
  Boston, Massachusetts 02205-9134
   
  A written redemption request must (a) state the Portfolio, the Class and
number or dollar amount of shares to be redeemed, (b) identify the sharehold-
er's account number and (c) be signed by each registered owner exactly as the
shares are registered. 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 written redemption request in
excess of $2,000, share certificate or stock power 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 $2,000 or less do not require a signature guarantee unless more than one
such redemption request is made in any 10-day period. Redemption proceeds will
be mailed to an investor's address of record. First Data may require addi-
tional supporting documents for redemptions made by corporations, executors,
administrators, trustees or guardians. A redemption request will not be deemed
properly received until First Data receives all required documents in proper
form.     
 
                                                                             37

 AUTOMATIC CASH WITHDRAWAL PLAN
 
  Each Portfolio offers shareholders an automatic cash withdrawal plan, under
which shareholders who own shares with a value of at least $10,000 may elect to
receive cash payments of at least $50 monthly or quarterly. Retirement plan
accounts are eligible for automatic cash withdrawal plans only where the share-
holder is eligible to receive qualified distributions and has an account value
of at least $5,000. The withdrawal plan will be carried over on exchanges
between funds or Classes of a Portfolio. Any applicable CDSC will not be waived
on amounts withdrawn by a shareholder that exceed 1.00% per month of the value
of the shareholder's shares subject to the CDSC at the time the withdrawal plan
commences. (With respect to withdrawal plans in effect prior to November 7,
1994, any applicable CDSC will be waived on amounts withdrawn that do not
exceed 2.00% per month of the value of the shareholder's shares subject to the
CDSC.) For further information regarding the automatic cash withdrawal plan,
shareholders should contact a Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
     
  TELEPHONE REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE PROGRAM     
   
  Shareholders who do not have a Smith Barney brokerage account may be eligible
to redeem and exchange Portfolio shares by telephone. To determine if a share-
holder is entitled to participate in this program, he or she should contact
First Data at 1-800-451-2010. Once eligibility is confirmed, the shareholder
must complete and return a Telephone/Wire Authorization Form, along with a sig-
nature guarantee, that will be provided by First Data upon request. (Alterna-
tively, an investor may authorize telephone redemptions on the new account
application with the applicant's signature guarantee when making his/her ini-
tial investment in the Portfolio.)     
   
  Redemptions. Redemption requests of up to $10,000 of any class or classes of
the Portfolio's shares, may be made by eligible shareholders by calling First
Data at 1-800-451-2010. Such requests may be made between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) on any day the NYSE is open. Redemption requests
received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net
asset value next determined. Redemptions of shares (i) by retirement plans or
(ii) for which certificates have been issued are not permitted under this pro-
gram.     
   
  A shareholder will have the option of having the redemption proceeds mailed
to his/her address of record or wired to a bank account predesignated by the
    
38
<PAGE>
 
Smith Barney Funds, Inc.
   
REDEMPTION OF SHARES (CONTINUED)     
   
shareholder. Generally, redemption proceeds will be mailed or wired, as the
case may be, on the next business day following the redemption request. In
order to use the wire procedures, the bank receiving the proceeds must be a
member of the Federal Reserve System or have a correspondent relationship with
a member bank. The Fund reserves the right to charge shareholders a nominal fee
for each wire redemption. Such charges, if any, will be assessed against the
shareholder's account from which shares were redeemed. In order to change the
bank account designated to receive redemption proceeds, a shareholder must com-
plete a new Telephone/Wire Authorization Form and, for the protection of the
shareholder's assets, will be required to provide a signature guarantee and
certain other documentation.     
   
  Exchanges. Eligible shareholders may make exchanges by telephone if the
account registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is identical to
the registration of the shares of the fund exchanged. Such exchange requests
may be made by calling First Data at 1-800-451-2010 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) on any day on which the NYSE is open. Exchange
requests received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are processed
at the net asset value next determined.     
   
  Additional Information regarding Telephone Redemption and Exchange
Program. Neither the Fund nor its agents will be liable for following instruc-
tions 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 follow-
ing at least seven (7) days prior notice to shareholders.     
 
MINIMUM ACCOUNT SIZE
 
 
  The Fund reserves the right to redeem involuntarily any shareholder's account
in a Portfolio if the aggregate net asset value of the shares held in that
Portfolio account is less than $500. (If a shareholder has more than one
account in any Portfolio, 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
 
                                                                              39

written notice and will be permitted 60 days to bring accounts up to the mini-
mum to avoid involuntary liquidation.
 
PERFORMANCE
   
  From time to time a Portfolio may include its total return, average annual
total return, yield and current dividend return in advertisements and/or other
types of sales literature. These figures are computed separately for Class A,
Class B, Class C and Class Y shares of each Portfolio. 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 rein-
vestment of all income dividends and capital gain distributions on the rein-
vestment dates at prices calculated as stated in this Prospectus, then divid-
ing 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 infor-
mation also may 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 yield of a Portfolio
Class refers to the net investment income earned by investments in the class
over a thirty-day period. This net investment income is then annualized, i.e.,
the amount of income earned by the investment during that thirty-day period is
assumed to be earned each 30-day period for twelve periods and is expressed as
a percentage of the investments. The yield quotation is calculated according
to a formula prescribed by the SEC to facilitate comparison with yields quoted
by other investment companies. Each Portfolio calculates current dividend
return for each Class by annualizing the most recent monthly distribution,
including net equalization credits or debits, and dividing by the net asset
value or the maximum public offering price (including sales charge) on the
last day of the period for which current dividend return is presented. The
current dividend return for each Class may vary from time to time depending on
market conditions, the composition of its investment portfolio and operating
expenses. These factors and possible differences in the methods used in calcu-
lating current dividend return should be considered when comparing a Class'
current return to yields published for other investment companies and other
investment vehicles. Each Portfolio may also

MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND
 
 
 BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
  Overall responsibility for management and supervision of the Fund rests with
the Fund's Board of Directors. The Directors approve all significant agreements
between the Fund and the companies that furnish services to the Fund, including
agreements with the Fund's distributor, investment manager, custodian and
transfer agent. The day-to-day operations of the Portfolios are delegated to
the Manager. The Statement of Additional Information contains background infor-
mation regarding each Director and executive officer of the Fund.
 
 MANAGER
 
  Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management, Inc. (the "Manager") manages the day-
to-day operations of each Portfolio pursuant to a management agreement entered
into by the Fund on behalf of each Portfolio under which the Manager offers
each Portfolio advice and assistance with respect to the acquisition, holding
or disposal of securities and recommendations with respect to other aspects and
affairs of each Portfolio and furnishes each Portfolio with bookkeeping,
accounting and administrative services, office space and equipment, and the
services of the officers and employees of the Fund. By written agreement the
research and other departments and staff of Smith Barney will furnish the Man-
ager with information, advice and assistance and will be available for consul-
tation on the Fund's Portfolios, thus Smith Barney may also be considered an
investment adviser to the Fund. Smith Barney's services are paid for by the
Manager on the basis of direct and indirect costs to Smith Barney of performing
such services; there is no charge to the Fund for such services.
   
  For the Portfolios' last fiscal year the management fee was 0.44% of each of
the Portfolio's average net assets. Payment under each Portfolio's management
agreement is made as promptly as possible after the last day of each month and
is computed on the aggregate net assets of the Portfolios during the month.

DISTRIBUTOR
   
  Smith Barney distributes shares of each Portfolio as principal underwriter
and as such conducts a continuous offering pursuant to a "best efforts"
arrangement requiring Smith Barney to take and pay for only such securities as
may be sold to the public. Pursuant to a plan of distribution under Rule 12b-1
under the 1940 Act (the "Plan") adopted by the U.S. Government Securities
Portfolio, Smith Barney is paid a service fee with respect to Class A, Class B
and Class C shares at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets
attributable to these Classes. Smith Barney is also paid a distribution fee
with respect to Class B and Class C shares of such Portfolio at the annual
rate of 0.50% and 0.45%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attrib-
utable to these Classes. Class B shares that automatically convert to Class A
shares eight years after the date of original purchase will no longer be sub-
ject to a distribution fee. Pursuant to the Plan adopted by the Income Return
Account Portfolio, Smith Barney is paid a service fee with respect to such
Portfolio's Class C shares at the annual rate of 0.15% of the average daily
net assets attributable that Class. Smith Barney is also paid a distribution
fee with respect to Class C shares of the Income Return Account Portfolio at
the annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets attributable to that
Class.     
 
  The fees are used by Smith Barney to pay its Financial Consultants for ser-
vicing shareholder accounts and, in the case of Class B and Class C 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 pro-
spectuses to potential investors; payments to and expenses of Smith Barney
Financial Consultants and other persons who provide support services in con-
nection with the distribution of shares; interest and/or carrying charges; and
indirect and overhead costs of Smith Barney associated with the sale of Port-
folio shares, including lease, utility, communications and sales promotion
expenses.
   
  The payments to Smith Barney Financial Consultants for selling shares of a
Class include a commission or fee paid by the investor or Smith Barney at the
time of sale and, with respect to the Class A, Class B and Class C shares of
the U.S. Government Securities Portfolio and to the Class C shares of the
Income Return Account Portfolio, a continuing fee for servicing shareholder
accounts for as long as a shareholder remains a holder of that Class. Smith
Barney Financial Consultants may receive different levels of compensation for
selling different Classes of shares.     
          
  Payments under the Plan with respect to Class B and Class C shares are not
tied exclusively to the distribution and shareholder services expenses actu-
ally     
 
                                                                             43

incurred by Smith Barney and the payments may exceed distribution expenses
actually incurred. The Fund's Board of Directors will evaluate the appropri-
ateness of the Plan and its payment terms on a continuing basis and in so
doing will consider all relevant factors, including expenses borne by Smith
Barney, amounts received under the Plan and proceeds of the CDSC.     
 
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
 
 
  The Fund, an open-end, diversified investment company, was incorporated in
Maryland on December 2, 1966. The Fund has an authorized capital of
2,000,000,000 shares with a par value of $.01 per share. The Board of Direc-
tors has authorized the issuance of fifteen series of shares, each represent-
ing shares in one of fifteen separate Portfolios and may authorize the issu-
ance of additional series of shares in the future. The assets of each Portfo-
lio are segregated and separately managed and a shareholder's interest is in
the assets of the Portfolio in which he or she holds shares. Class A, Class B,
Class C, Class Y and Class Z (where available) shares of each Portfolio repre-
sent interests in the assets of that Portfolio and have identical voting, div-
idend, liquidation and other rights on the same terms and conditions except
that expenses related to the distribution of each Class of shares are borne
solely by each Class and each Class of shares has exclusive voting rights with
respect to provisions of the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan which pertain
to a particular Class. As described under "Voting" in the Statement of Addi-
tional Information, the Fund ordinarily will not hold shareholder meetings;
however, shareholders have the right to call a meeting upon a vote of 10% of
the Fund's outstanding shares for the purpose of voting to remove directors
and, as required by the 1940 Act, the Fund will assist shareholders in calling
such a meeting. Shares do not have cumulative voting rights or preemptive
rights and are fully paid, transferable and nonassessable when issued for pay-
ment as described in this Prospectus.
 
  PNC Bank, National Association, located at 17th and Chestnut Streets, Phila-
delphia, Pennsylvania 19103, serves as custodian of each Portfolio's invest-
ments.
   
  First Data, located at Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, serves
as the Fund's transfer agent.     
 
  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. In addition, the Fund also plans to consolidate the mail-
ing of its Prospectus so that a shareholder having multiple accounts (that is,
individual, IRA and/or Self-Employed Retirement Plan accounts) will receive a
single Prospectus annually. Shareholders who do not want this consolidation to
apply to their account should contact their Smith Barney Financial Consultant
or the Fund's transfer agent.

  GNMA Securities. Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), an
agency of the United States Government, guarantees the timely payment of
monthly installments of principal and interest on modified pass-through Cer-
tificates, whether or not such amounts are collected by the issuer of these
Certificates on the underlying mortgages. Scheduled payments of principal and
interest are made each month to holders of GNMA Certificates (such as the U.S.
Government Securities Portfolio). Unscheduled prepayments of mortgages are
passed through to holders of GNMA Certificates at par with the regular monthly
payments of principal and interest, which have the effect of reducing future
payments on such Certificates. The income portions of monthly payments
received by these Portfolios will be included in their net investment income.
See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."     
   
  GNMA Certificates have historically involved no credit risk; however, due to
fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities will vary
during the period of a shareholder's investment in the U.S. Government Securi-
ties Portfolio. Prepayments and scheduled payments of principal will be rein-
vested by the U.S. Government Securities Portfolio in then available GNMA Cer-
tificates which may bear interest at a rate lower or higher than the Certifi-
cate from which the payment was received. As with other debt securities, the
price of GNMA Certificates is likely to decrease in times of rising interest
rates; however, in periods of falling interest rates the potential for prepay-
ment may reduce the general upward price increase of GNMA Certificates that
might otherwise occur. If the U.S. Government Securities Portfolio buys GNMA
Certificates at a premium, mortgage foreclosures or prepayments may result in
a loss to the Portfolio of up to the amount of the premium paid since only
timely payment of principal and interest is guaranteed.     
 
  Other U.S. Government Obligations. In addition to GNMA Securities and direct
obligations of the U.S. Treasury (such as Treasury Bills, Notes and Bonds),
U.S. Government Obligations in which the Fund may invest include: (1) obliga-
tions of, or issued by, Banks for Cooperatives, Federal Land Banks, Federal
Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal Home Loan Banks, the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board, or the Student Loan Marketing Association; (2) other securities fully
guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United States of America; (3)
other obligations of, or issued by, or fully guaranteed as to principal and
interest by the Federal National Mortgage Association or any agency of the
United States; and (4) obligations currently or previously sold by the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.

  Repurchase Agreements. A repurchase agreement arises when the Fund purchases
a security for a Portfolio and simultaneously agrees to resell it to the vendor
at an agreed-upon future date, normally the next business day. The resale price
is greater than the purchase price, which reflects an agreed-upon rate of
return for the period the Portfolio holds the security and which is not related
to the coupon rate on the purchased security. The Fund requires continual main-
tenance of the market value of the collateral in amounts at least equal to the
resale price, thus risk is limited to the ability of the seller to pay the
agreed-upon amount on the delivery date; however, if the seller defaults, real-
ization upon the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited or the Port-
folio might incur a loss if the value of the collateral securing the repurchase
agreement declines and might incur disposition costs in connection with liqui-
dating the collateral. A Portfolio will only enter into repurchase agreements
with broker/dealers or other financial institutions that are deemed credit-
worthy by the Manager under guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. It
is the policy of the Fund not to invest in repurchase agreements that do not
mature within seven days if any such investment together with any other illiq-
uid assets held by the Portfolio amount to more than 15% of that Portfolio's
total assets.
 
  Delayed Delivery. A delayed delivery transaction involves the purchase of
securities at an agreed-upon price on a specified future date. At the time the
Fund enters into a binding obligation to purchase securities on a delayed
delivery basis the Portfolio has all the rights and risks attendant to the own-
ership of the security and therefore must maintain with the Custodian a segre-
gated account with assets of a dollar amount sufficient to make payment for the
securities to be purchased. The value of the securities on the delivery date
may be more or less than their purchase price. Securities purchased on a
delayed delivery basis do not generally earn interest until their scheduled
delivery date.

Class of certain other funds of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds at the respec-
tive net asset values next determined, plus any applicable sales charge dif-
ferential. See "Exchange Privilege."
 
VALUATION OF SHARES Net asset value of the Portfolio for the prior day gener-
ally is quoted daily in the financial section of most newspapers and is also
available from a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. See "Valuation of Shares."
 
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS Dividends are paid monthly from net investment
income. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid annual-
ly. See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."
 
REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS Dividends and distributions paid on shares of the
Portfolio will be reinvested automatically, unless otherwise specified by an
investor, in additional shares of the same Class at current net asset value.
See "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes."
 
RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS There can be no assurance that the
Portfolio's investment objective will be achieved. The value of the Portfo-
lio's investments, and thus the net asset value of the Portfolio's shares,
will fluctuate in response to changes in market and economic conditions, as
well as the financial condition and prospects of issuers in which the Portfo-
lio invests. See "Investment Objective and Management Policies."

   year ended December 31, 1995.     
 
  Smith Barney receives an annual 12b-1 fee of 0.35% of the value of average
daily net assets of Class A shares, consisting of a 0.10% distribution fee and
a 0.25% service fee. "Other expenses" in the above table include fees for
shareholder services, custodial fees, legal and accounting fees, printing costs
and registration fees.

 EXAMPLE
 
  The following example is intended to assist an investor in understanding the
various costs that an investor in the Portfolio will bear directly or indirect-
ly. The example assumes payment by the Portfolio of operating expenses at the
levels set forth in the table above. See "Purchase of Shares," "Redemption of
Shares" and "Management of the Fund."

  An investor would pay the following expenses
  on
  a $1,000 investment, assuming (1) 5.00%
  annual return and (2) redemption at the
  end of each time period:
   Class A....................................   $10     $31     $54     $120
   Class Y....................................     6      20      35       77
</TABLE>    
 
  The example also provides a means for the investor to compare expense levels
of funds with different fee structures over varying investment periods. To
facilitate such comparison, all funds are required to utilize a 5.00% annual
return assumption. However, the Portfolio's actual return will vary and may be
greater or less than 5.00%. THIS EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTA-
TION OF PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES AND ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN
THOSE SHOWN.

Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities Portfolio
 
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES                              
 
  The investment objective of the Portfolio is current income, preservation of
capital and liquidity. There can be no assurance that the investment objective
of the Portfolio will be achieved.
 
  The Portfolio will seek to achieve its objective by investing its assets in
U.S. Treasury debt securities guaranteed by the direct "full faith and credit"
pledge of the United States Government. U.S. Treasury debt securities (includ-
ing Treasury bills, notes and bonds) are direct obligations of the U.S. Trea-
sury. The payment of principal and interest on such securities is uncondition-
ally guaranteed by the U.S. Government and, therefore, they are deemed to be of
the highest possible credit quality.
 
  Though U.S. Treasury debt securities have historically not involved risk of
loss of principal if held to maturity, they are subject to variations in market
value due to fluctuations in interest rates. Changes in the value of portfolio
securities will not affect interest income from those securities but will be
reflected in the Portfolio's net asset value. Thus, a decrease in interest
rates will generally result in an increase in the value of the Portfolio's
shares. Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates, the value of the
Portfolio's shares will generally decline. In an effort to minimize fluctua-
tions in market value of its portfolio securities, the Portfolio is expected to
maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of approximately 3 years.
 
  Pending direct investment in U.S. Treasury debt securities, the Portfolio may
enter into repurchase agreements secured by such securities in order to earn
income on available cash but only in an amount up to 10% of the value of its
total assets. A repurchase agreement arises when the Portfolio acquires a secu-
rity and simultaneously agrees to resell it to the vendor at an agreed-upon
future date, normally the next business day. The resale price is greater than
the purchase price and reflects an agreed-upon return unrelated to the coupon
rate on the purchased security. Such transactions afford an opportunity for the
Portfolio to invest temporarily available cash at no market risk. The Portfolio
requires continual maintenance of the market value of the collateral in amounts
at least equal to the resale price. The Portfolio's risk is limited to the
ability of the seller to pay the agreed-upon amount on the delivery date; how-
ever, if the seller defaults, realization upon the collateral by the Portfolio
may be delayed or limited, or the Portfolio might incur a loss if the value of
the collateral securing the repurchase agreement declines and might incur dis-
position costs in connection with liquidating the collateral.
 
 
                                                                               9
<PAGE>
 
Smith Barney Funds, Inc.
Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities Portfolio
 
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
   
  In addition, the Portfolio may invest in zero-coupon Treasury securities,
which may be subject to greater volatility than other types of Treasury securi-
ties. Because zero-coupon securities do not receive interest payments, such
securities may fall more dramatically when interest rates rise than securities
paying out interest on a current basis. However, when interest rates fall,
zero-coupon securities may rise more rapidly in value because the securities
have locked-in a particular rate of reinvestment that becomes more attractive
the further rates fall. These assumptions are based on a comparison of like
maturity securities. Management does not believe that additional risks exist,
however, when comparing securities of like duration (the weighted average time
to full recovery of principal and interest payments), which is the strategy
used by the Manager of the Portfolio.     
 
  The Portfolio may, to a limited degree, engage in short-term trading to
attempt to take advantage of short-term market variations, or may dispose of a
portfolio security prior to its maturity if it believes such disposition advis-
able or it needs to generate cash to satisfy redemptions. As the portfolio
turnover rate increases, so will the Portfolio's dealer mark-ups and other
transaction related expenses. Investors should realize that risk of loss is
inherent in the ownership of any securities and that shares of the Portfolio
will fluctuate with the market value of its securities.
 
  As a matter of fundamental policy, the Portfolio may borrow money from banks
for temporary purposes but only in an amount up to 10% of the value of its
total assets and may pledge its assets in an amount up to 10% of the value of
its total assets to secure such borrowings. The Portfolio will borrow money
only to accommodate requests for the redemption of shares while effecting an
orderly liquidation of portfolio securities or to clear securities transactions
and not for leveraging purposes. Whenever borrowings exceed 5% of the value of
its total assets, the Portfolio will not make any additional investments.
 
  The Portfolio's investment objective may be changed only by the "vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities" as defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). Except as specifically noted, the Portfo-
lio's investment policies are not fundamental and, as such, may be modified by
the directors of the Fund provided such modification is not prohibited by the
investment restrictions (which are set forth in the Statement of Additional
Information) or applicable law, and any such change will first be disclosed in
the then current prospectus.

Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities Portfolio
 
VALUATION OF SHARES
 
 
  The Portfolio's net asset value per share is determined as of the close of
regular trading on the NYSE on each day that the NYSE is open, by dividing the
value of the Portfolio's net assets attributable to each Class by the total
number of shares of the Class outstanding.
 
  Securities owned by the Portfolio are valued at the mean between the bid and
asked quotations for those securities or if no quotations are available, then
for securities of similar type, yield and maturity. Short-term investments
that have a maturity of more than 60 days are valued at prices based on market
quotations for securities of similar type, yield and maturity. Short-term
investments with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amor-
tized cost where the Board has determined that amortized cost is fair value.
Other investments of the Portfolio, if any, are valued at a fair value deter-
mined by the Board of Directors in good faith.
 
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
 
 
 DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
 
  The Portfolio declares a dividend of substantially all of its net investment
income on each day the NYSE is open. Net investment income includes interest
accrued and discount earned and all short-term realized gains and losses on
portfolio securities and is less premium amortized and expenses accrued.
Income dividends are paid monthly. Distributions of net realized capital
gains, if any, are paid annually.
 
  If a shareholder does not otherwise instruct, dividends and capital gain
distributions will be reinvested automatically in additional shares of the
same Class at net asset value.
   
  Income dividends and capital gain distributions that are invested are cred-
ited to shareholders' accounts in additional shares at the net asset value as
of the close of business on the payment date. A shareholder may change the
option at any time by notifying a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. Accounts
held directly by First Data should notify First Data in writing at least five
business days prior to the payment date to permit the change to be entered in
the share holder's account. If a shareholder redeems in full an account
between payment dates, all dividends accrued to the date of liquidation will
be paid with the proceeds from the redemption of shares.     
 
                                                                             11
<PAGE>
 
Smith Barney Funds, Inc.
Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities Portfolio
 
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES (CONTINUED)
 
 
  The per share dividends on Class A shares of the Portfolio may be lower than
the per share dividends on Class Y shares principally as a result of the serv-
ice and distribution fees applicable to Class A shares. Distributions of capi-
tal gains, if any, will be in the same amount for Class A and Class Y shares.
 
 TAXES
 
  The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Code to be relieved of Federal income tax on that part of
its net investment income and realized capital gains which it pays out to its
shareholders. To qualify, the Portfolio must meet certain tests, including dis-
tributing at least 90% of its investment company taxable income, and deriving
less than 30% of its gross income from the sale or other disposition of certain
investments held for less than three months.
 
  Dividends from net investment income and distributions of realized short-term
capital gains on the sale of securities, whether paid in cash or automatically
invested in additional shares of the Portfolio, are taxable to shareholders of
the Portfolio as ordinary income. The Portfolio's dividends will not qualify
for the dividends received deduction for corporations. Distributions out of net
long-term capital gains (i.e., net long-term capital gains in excess of net
short-term capital losses) are taxable to shareholders as long-term capital
gains. Information as to the tax status of dividends paid or deemed paid in
each calendar year will be mailed to shareholders as early in the succeeding
year as practical but not later than January 31.
 
  The Fund is required to withhold and remit to the U.S. Treasury 31% of divi-
dends, distributions and redemption proceeds to shareholders who fail to pro-
vide a correct taxpayer identification number (the Social Security number in
the case of an individual) or to make the required certifications, or who have
been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that they are subject to backup
withholding and who are not otherwise exempt. The 31% withholding tax is not an
additional tax, but is creditable against a shareholder's Federal income tax
liability.
 
  State Taxes. The Fund believes that dividends paid by the Portfolio are
exempt from state income taxation.
 
  Prior to investing in shares of the Portfolio, investors should consult with
their tax advisors concerning the Federal, state and local tax consequences of
such an investment.

PURCHASE OF SHARES
 
 
 GENERAL
   
  The Portfolio offers two Classes of shares. Class A shares are sold to
investors without an initial sales charge or CDSC but are subject to annual
service and distribution fees. (In addition, Class A shares acquired as part
of an exchange privilege transaction, which were originally acquired in one of
the other funds of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds at net asset value subject to
a CDSC, remain subject to the original fund's CDSC while held in the Portfo-
lio.) Class Y shares are sold without an initial sales charge or CDSC or serv-
ice or distribution fees, and are available only to investors investing a min-
imum of $5,000,000 (except for purchases of Class Y shares by Smith Barney
Concert Series Inc., for which there is no minimum purchase amount).     
   
  Shares may be purchased through a brokerage account maintained with Smith
Barney. Shares may also be purchased through an Introducing Broker or an
investment dealer in the selling group. In addition, certain investors,
including qualified retirement plans and certain other institutional invest-
ors, may purchase shares directly from the Fund through First Data. When pur-
chasing shares of the Portfolio, investors must specify whether the purchase
is for Class A or Class Y shares. No maintenance fee will be charged by the
Fund in connection with a brokerage account through which an investor pur-
chases or holds shares.     
   
  Investors in Class A shares may open an account by making an initial invest-
ment of at least $1,000 for each account, or $250 for an IRA or a Self-
Employed Retirement Plan in the Portfolio. Investors in Class Y shares may
open an account by making an initial investment of $5,000,000. Subsequent
investments of at least $50 may be made for each Class. For participants in
retirement plans qualified under Section 403(b)(7) or Section 401(a) of the
Code, the minimum initial investment requirement for Class A shares and the
subsequent investment requirement for both Classes in the Portfolio is $25.
For the Portfolio's Systematic Investment Plan, the minimum initial investment
requirement for Class A Shares and the subsequent investment requirement for
both Classes is $50. There are no minimum investment requirements in Class A
shares for employees of Travelers and its subsidiaries, including Smith Bar-
ney, Directors or Trustees 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 share     
 
                                                                             13

holder's account by the Fund's transfer agent, First Data. Share certificates
are issued only upon a shareholder's written request to First Data.     
   
  The Portfolio's shares are sold continuously at their net asset value next
determined after a purchase order is received and becomes effective. A purchase
order becomes effective when the Fund, Smith Barney or an Introducing Broker
receives, or converts the purchase amount into, Federal funds (i.e., monies of
member banks within the Federal Reserve System held on deposit at a Federal
Reserve Bank). When orders for the purchase of Portfolio shares are paid for in
Federal funds, or are placed by an investor with sufficient Federal funds or
cash balance in the investor's brokerage account with Smith Barney or the
Introducing Broker, the order becomes effective on the day of receipt prior to
the close of regular trading on the NYSE, on any day the Portfolio calculates
its net asset value. See "Valuation of Shares." Purchase orders received after
the close of regular trading on the NYSE are effective as of the time the net
asset value is next determined. When orders for the purchase of Portfolio
shares are paid for other than in Federal funds, Smith Barney or the Introduc-
ing Broker, acting on behalf of the investor, will complete the conversion
into, or itself advance, Federal funds, and the order will become effective on
the day following its receipt by the Fund, Smith Barney or the Introducing Bro-
ker. Shares purchased directly through First Data begin to accrue income divi-
dends on the day that the purchase order becomes effective. All other shares
purchased begin to accrue dividends on the next business day following the day
the purchase order becomes effective.     
 
 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, Smith Barney or First Data is authorized through
preauthorized transfers of $50 or more to charge the regular bank account or
other financial institution indicated by the shareholder on a monthly or quar-
terly basis to provide systematic additions to the shareholder's Portfolio
account. A shareholder who has insufficient funds to complete the transfer will
be charged a fee of up to $25 by Smith Barney or First Data. The Systematic
Investment Plan also authorizes Smith Barney to apply cash held in the share-
holder's 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 Smith Barney Financial Consultant.

 LETTER OF INTENT
   
  Class Y Shares. A Letter of Intent provides an opportunity for investors to
meet the minimum investment requirement for Class Y shares by aggregating
investments over a six-month period. Such investors must make an initial mini-
mum purchase of $1,000,000 in Class Y shares of the Portfolio and agree to
purchase a total of $5,000,000 of Class Y shares of the same Portfolio within
six months from the date of the Letter. If a total investment of $5,000,000 is
not made within the six-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 a distribution fee of 0.10%) and
expenses applicable to the Portfolio's Class A shares. Please contact a Smith
Barney Financial Consultant or First Data for further information.     
 
 SMITH BARNEY 401(K) PROGRAM
 
  Investors may be eligible to participate in the Smith Barney 401(k) Program,
which is generally designed to assist plan sponsors in the creation and opera-
tion of retirement plans under Section 401(a) of the Code. To the extent
applicable, the same terms and conditions are offered to all Participating
Plans in the Smith Barney 401(k) Program.
 
  The Portfolio offers to Participating Plans Class A and Class Y shares as
investment alternatives under the Smith Barney 401(k) Program. Class A shares
acquired through the Smith Barney 401(k) Program are subject to the same serv-
ice and distribution fees as, but a different CDSC schedule than, the Class A
shares acquired by other investors. Similar to those shares available to other
investors, Class Y shares acquired through the Smith Barney 401(k) Program are
not subject to any service or distribution fees or any initial sales charge or
CDSC. Once a Participating Plan has made an initial investment in the Portfo-
lio, all of its subsequent investments in the Portfolio must be in the same
Class of shares.
 
  Class A Shares. Class A shares of the Portfolio are offered to any Partici-
pating Plan that purchases from $500,000 to $4,999,999 of Class A shares of
one or more of the other Smith Barney Mutual Funds. Class A shares acquired
through the Smith Barney 401(k) Program after November 7, 1994 by exchange
from one of the other Smith Barney Mutual Funds are subject to a CDSC of 1.00%
of redemption proceeds, if the Participating Plan terminates within four years
of the date the Participating Plan first enrolled in the Smith Barney 401(k)
Program.

ice or distribution fees, sales charge or CDSC to any Participating Plan that
purchases $5,000,000 or more of Class Y shares of one or more of the other
funds of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds.
   
  Whether or not the CDSC applies to a Participating Plan depends on the number
of years since the Participating Plan first became enrolled in the Smith Barney
401(k) Program, unlike the applicability of the CDSC to other shareholders,
which depends on the number of years since those shareholders made the purchase
payment for the shares which are being redeemed. Where applicable, the CDSC
will be assessed on shares held through the Smith Barney 401(k) Program 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; provided, however, that shares
will not be subject to a CDSC to the extent that the value of such shares rep-
resents capital appreciation of Portfolio assets and/or reinvestments of divi-
dends or capital gain distributions. In addition, the CDSC will be waived on
redemptions of Class A shares in connection with lump-sum or other distribu-
tions made by a Participating Plan as a result of: (a) the retirement of an
employee in the Participating Plan; (b) the termination of employment of an
employee in the Participating Plan; (c) the death or disability of an employee
in the Participating Plan; (d) the attainment of age 59 1/2 by an employee in
the Participating Plan; (e) hardship of an employee in the Participating Plan
to the extent permitted under Section 401(k) of the Code; or (f) redemptions of
shares in connection with a loan made by the Participating Plan to an employee.
       
  Participating Plans wishing to acquire shares of the Portfolio through the
Smith Barney 401(k) Program must purchase such shares directly from First Data.
For further information regarding the Smith Barney 401(k) Program, investors
should contact a Smith Barney Financial Consultant.

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE (CONTINUED)
 
 
  Class A Exchanges. Class A shares of the Portfolio will be subject to the
appropriate "sales charge differential" upon the exchange of such shares for
Class A shares of another fund of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds sold with a
sales charge. The "sales charge differential" is limited to a percentage rate
no greater than the excess of the sales charge rate applicable to purchases of
shares of the mutual fund being acquired in the exchange over the sales charge
rate(s) actually paid on the mutual fund shares relinquished in the exchange
and on any predecessor of those shares. For purposes of the exchange privilege,
shares obtained through automatic reinvestment of dividends and capital gain
distributions are treated as having paid the same sales charges applicable to
the shares on which the dividends or distributions were paid; however, except
in the case of the Smith Barney 401(k) Program, if no sales charge was imposed
upon the initial purchase of the shares, any shares obtained through automatic
reinvestment will be subject to a sales charge differential upon exchange.
Class A shares held in the Portfolio prior to November 7, 1994 that are subse-
quently exchanged for shares of other funds of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds
will not be subject to a sales charge differential.
 
  Class Y Exchanges. Class Y shareholders of the Portfolio who wish to exchange
all or a portion of their Class Y shares for Class Y shares in any of the funds
identified above may do so without imposition of any charge.
   
  Additional Information Regarding the Exchange Privilege. Although the
exchange privilege is an important benefit, excessive exchange transactions can
be detrimental to the Portfolio'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 Portfolio's other shareholders. In this event, the
Fund may, at its discretion, decide to limit additional purchases and/or
exchanges by the shareholder. Upon such a determination, the Fund will pro vide
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 Portfolio or (b) remain
invested in the Portfolio 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.     
   
  Certain shareholders may be able to exchange shares by telephone. See "Re-
demption of Shares--Telephone Redemption and Exchange Program." Exchanges will
be processed at the net asset value next determined, plus any applicable sales
charge differential. Redemption procedures discussed below are also applicable
for exchanging shares, and exchanges will be made upon receipt     
 
                                                                              19

of all supporting documents in proper form. If the account registration of the
shares of the fund being acquired is identical to the registration of the
shares of the fund exchanged, no signature guarantee is required. A capital
gain or loss for tax purposes will be realized upon the exchange, depending
upon the cost or other basis of shares redeemed. Before exchanging shares,
investors should read the current prospectus describing the shares to be
acquired. The Portfolio reserves the right to modify or discontinue exchange
privileges upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders.
   
REDEMPTION OF SHARES     
 
 
  The Fund is required to redeem the shares of the Portfolio tendered to it,
as described below, at a redemption price equal to their net asset value per
share next determined after receipt of a written request in proper form at no
charge other than any applicable CDSC. Redemption requests received after the
close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net asset value next
determined.
   
  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 Fund's transfer
agent receives further instructions from Smith Barney, or if the shareholder's
account is not with Smith Barney, from the shareholder directly. The redemp-
tion proceeds will normally be remitted on the business day following receipt
of proper tender but, in any event, payment will be made within three days
thereafter, except on any days on which the NYSE is closed or as permitted
under the 1940 Act in extraordinary circumstances. Generally, if the redemp-
tion proceeds are remitted to a Smith Barney brokerage account, these funds
will not be invested for the shareholder's benefit without specific instruc-
tion and Smith Barney will benefit from the use of temporarily uninvested
funds. Redemption proceeds for shares purchased by check, other than a certi-
fied or official bank check, will be remitted upon clearance of the check,
which may take up to ten days or more.     
 
  Shares held by Smith Barney as custodian must be redeemed by submitting a
written request to a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. Shares other than
those held by Smith Barney as custodian may be redeemed through an investor's
Financial Consultant, Introducing Broker or dealer in the selling group or by
submitting a written request for redemption to:

  A written redemption request must (a) state the Class and number or dollar
amount of shares to be redeemed, (b) identify the shareholder's account number
and (c) be signed by each registered owner exactly as the shares are regis-
tered. If the shares to be redeemed were issued in certificate form, the cer-
tificates 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 written redemption request in excess of
$2,000, share certificate or stock power 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 $2,000 or
less do not require a signature guarantee unless more than one such redemption
request is made in any 10-day period. Redemption proceeds will be mailed to an
investor's address of record. First Data may require additional supporting doc-
uments for redemptions made by corporations, executors, administrators, trust-
ees or guardians. A redemption request will not be deemed properly received
until First Data receives all required documents in proper form.     
 
 AUTOMATIC CASH WITHDRAWAL PLAN
 
  The Portfolio offers shareholders an automatic cash withdrawal plan, under
which shareholders who own shares with a value of at least $10,000 may elect to
receive cash payments of at least $50 monthly or quarterly. Retirement plan
accounts are eligible for automatic cash withdrawal plans only where the share-
holder is eligible to receive qualified distributions and has an account value
of at least $5,000. The withdrawal plan will be carried over on exchanges
between funds or Classes of the Portfolio. Any applicable CDSC will not be
waived on amounts withdrawn by a shareholder that exceed 1.00% per month of the
value of the shareholder's shares subject to the CDSC at the time the with-
drawal plan commences. (With respect to withdrawal plans in effect prior to
November 7, 1994, any applicable CDSC will be waived on amounts withdrawn that
do not exceed 2.00% per month of the value of the shareholder's shares subject
to the CDSC.) For further information regarding the automatic cash withdrawal
plan, shareholders should contact a Smith Barney Financial Consultant.
 
                                                                              21

REDEMPTION OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
    
 TELEPHONE REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE PROGRAM     
   
  Shareholders who do not have a Smith Barney brokerage account may be eligible
to redeem and exchange Portfolio shares by telephone. To determine if a share-
holder is entitled to participate in this program, he or she should contact
First Data at 1-800-451-2010. Once eligibility is confirmed, the shareholder
must complete and return a Telephone/Wire Authorization Form, along with a sig-
nature guarantee, that will be provided by First Data upon request. (Alterna-
tively, an invest or may authorize telephone redemptions on the new account
application with the applicant's signature guarantee when making his/her ini-
tial investment in the Portfolio.)     
   
  Redemptions. Redemption requests of up $10,000 of any class or classes of the
Portfolio's shares, may be made by eligible shareholders by calling First Data
at 1-800-451-2010. Such requests may be made between 9:00 and 5:00 p.m. (New
York City time) on any day the NYSE is open. Redemption requests received after
the close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at the net asset value next
determined. Redemptions of shares (i) by retirement plans or (ii) for which
certificates have been issued are not permitted under this program.     
   
  A shareholder will have the option of having the redemption proceeds mailed
to his/her address of record or wired to a bank account predesignated by the
shareholder. Generally, redemption proceeds will be mailed or wired, as the
case may be, on the next business day following the redemption request. In
order to use the wire procedure, the bank receiving the proceeds must be a mem-
ber of the Federal Reserve System or have a correspondent relationship with a
member bank. The Fund reserves the right to charge shareholders a nominal fee
for each wire redemption. Such charges, if any, will be assessed against the
shareholder's account from which shares were redeemed. In order to change the
bank account designated to receive redemption proceeds, a shareholder must com-
plete a new Telephone/Wire Authorization Form and, for the protection of the
shareholder's assets, will be required to provide a signature guarantee and
certain other documentation.     
   
  Exchanges. Eligible shareholders may make exchanges by telephone if the
account registration of the shares of the fund being acquired is identical to
the registration of the shares of the fund exchanged. Such exchange requests
may be made by calling First Data at 1-800-451-2010 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m. (New York City time) on any day on which the NYSE is open.

  Additional Information regarding Telephone Redemption and Exchange
Program. Neither the Fund nor its agents will be liable for following instruc-
tions 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 (7) days prior notice to shareholders.     
 
 CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
 
  Class A shares of the Portfolio acquired as part of an exchange privilege
transaction, which were originally acquired in one of the other Smith Barney
Mutual Funds at net asset value subject to a CDSC, continue to be subject to
any applicable CDSC of the original fund. Therefore, Class A shares that are
redeemed within 12 months of the date of purchase of the original fund may be
subject to a CDSC of 1.00%. The amount of any CDSC will be paid to and
retained by Smith Barney. The CDSC will be assessed based on an amount equal
to the lesser of the cost of the shares being redeemed or their net asset
value at the time of redemption. Accordingly, no CDSC will be imposed on
increases in net asset value above the initial purchase price in the original
fund. In addition, no charge will be assessed on shares derived from reinvest-
ment of dividends or capital gain distributions.
 
  In determining the applicability of any CDSC, it will be assumed that a
redemption is made first of shares representing capital appreciation, next of
shares representing the reinvestments of dividends and capital gain distribu-
tions and finally of other shares held by the shareholder for the longest
period of time. The length of time that Class A shares acquired through an
exchange have been held will be calculated from the date that the Class A
shares were initially acquired in one of the other Smith Barney Mutual Funds,
and such 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 CDSC
will reduce the gain or increase the loss, as the case may be, on the amount
realized on redemption.
 
  The CDSC on Class A shares, if any, will be waived on (a) exchanges (see
"Exchange Privilege" above); (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
 
                                                                             23

time the withdrawal plan commences (see "Automatic Cash Withdrawal Plan") (pro-
vided, 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 twelve months following the death or disability of
the shareholder; (d) redemption of shares made in connection with qualified
distributions from retirement plans or IRAs upon the attainment of age 59 1/2;
(e) involuntary redemptions; and (f) redemptions of shares in connection with a
combination of a Portfolio with any investment company by merger, acquisition
of assets or otherwise. In addition, a shareholder who has redeemed shares from
other funds of the 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 CDSC imposed on the prior redemption.
   
  CDSC waivers will be granted subject to confirmation (by Smith Barney in the
case of shareholders who are also 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.     
 
  For information concerning the CDSC applicable to Class A shares acquired
through the Smith Barney 401(k) Program, see "Purchase of Shares --Smith Barney
401(k) Program."
 
MINIMUM ACCOUNT SIZE
 
 
  The Fund reserves the right to involuntarily liquidate any shareholder's
account in the Portfolio if the aggregate net asset value of the shares held in
the Portfolio account is less than $500. (If a shareholder has more than one
account in this Portfolio, each account must satisfy the minimum account size.)
The Fund, however, will not redeem shares based solely upon 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.
 
PERFORMANCE
 
 
 
  From time to time the Portfolio may include its total return, average annual
total return and yield in advertisements. In addition, in other types of sales
liter-

PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)
   
ature the Portfolio may include its current dividend return. These figures are
computed separately for Class A and Class Y shares of the Portfolio. These fig-
ures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future
performance. Total return is computed for a specified period of time assuming
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.
The yield of the Portfolio refers to the net investment income earned by
investments in the Portfolio over a thirty-day period. This net investment
income is then annualized, i.e., the amount of income earned by the investment
during that thirty-day period is assumed to be earned each 30-day period for
twelve periods and is expressed as a percentage of the investments. The yield
quotation is calculated according to a formula prescribed by the SEC to facili-
tate comparison with yields quoted by other investment companies. The Portfolio
calculates current dividend return for each Class by annualizing the most
recent distribution and dividing by the net asset value on the last day of the
period for which current dividend return is presented. The Portfolio's current
dividend return for each Class may vary from time to time depending on market
conditions, the composition of its investment portfolio and operating expenses.
These factors and possible differences in the methods used in calculating cur-
rent dividend return should be considered when comparing the Portfolio's cur-
rent return to yields published for other investment companies and other
investment vehicles. The Portfolio may also include comparative performance
information in advertising or marketing its shares. Such performance informa-
tion may include data from Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. and other financial
publications.

Portfolio, including agreements with the Fund's distributor, investment manag-
er, custodian and transfer agent. The day-to-day operations of the Portfolio
are delegated to the Manager. The Statement of Additional Information contains
background information regarding each Director and executive officer of the
Fund.
 
  MANAGER
 
  Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. (the "Manager") manages the day-
to-day operations of the Portfolio pursuant to a management agreement entered
into by the Fund on behalf of the Portfolio under which the Manager offers the
Portfolio advice and assistance with respect to the acquisition, holding or
disposal of securities and recommendations with respect to other aspects and
affairs of the Portfolio and furnishes the Portfolio with bookkeeping,
accounting and administrative services, office space and equipment, and the
services of the officers and employees of the Fund. By written agreement the
research and other departments of Smith Barney and staff furnish the Manager
with information, advice and assistance and are available for consultation on
the Fund's Portfolios, thus Smith Barney may also be considered an investment
adviser to the Fund. Smith Barney's services are paid for by the Manager on
the basis of direct and indirect costs to Smith Barney for performing such
services; there is no charge to the Fund for such services.
   
  For the Portfolio's last fiscal year, the management fee was 0.45% of the
Portfolio's average net assets and the Portfolio's total operating expenses
were 0.98% of the average net assets for Class A shares.     
   
  The Manager was incorporated on March 12, 1968 under the laws of Delaware.
As of December 31, 1995 the Manager had aggregate assets under management of
approximately $69 billion. The Manager, Smith Barney and Holdings are each
located at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013. The term "Smith
Barney" in the title of the Fund has been adopted by permission of Smith Bar-
ney and is subject to the right of Smith Barney to elect that the Fund stop
using the term in any form or combination of its name.     
 
  PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
          
  James Conroy, Vice President of the Manager is Portfolio Manager of the
Portfolio and is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the
Portfolio, including the making of investment decisions since January 1996.
Mr. Conroy is also Portfolio Manager of the Fund's U.S. Government Securities
Portfolio. Mr. Conroy has also served as Vice President and Investment Officer

  Management's discussion and analysis, and additional performance information
regarding the Portfolio during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 is

DISTRIBUTOR
 
 
  Smith Barney distributes shares of the Portfolio as principal underwriter and
as such conducts a continuous offering pursuant to a "best efforts" arrangement
requiring Smith Barney to take and pay for only such securities as may be sold
to the public. Pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted by the Portfolio
under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Plan"), Smith Barney is paid a serv-
ice fee with respect to Class A shares of the Portfolio at the annual rate of
0.25% of the average daily net assets of that Class. Smith Barney is also paid
a distribution fee with respect to Class A shares at the annual rate of 0.10%
of the average daily net assets attributable to those shares. The fees are used
by Smith Barney to pay its Financial Consultants for servicing shareholder
accounts and to cover expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of
those shares. These expenses include: advertising expenses; the cost of print-
ing and mailing prospectuses to potential investors; payments to and expenses
of Smith Barney Financial Consultants and other persons who provide support
services in connection with the distribution of shares; interest and/or carry-
ing charges; and indirect and overhead costs of Smith Barney associated with
the sale of Portfolio shares, including lease, utility, communications and
sales promotion expenses.
       
  Amounts expended by Smith Barney but not reimbursed by the Portfolio in any
year will not be a continuing liability of the Portfolio in subsequent years.
Because the Portfolio reimburses Smith Barney only for actual expenditures,
Smith Barney realizes no profit from the Plan.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION     
 
 
  The Fund, an open-end, diversified investment company, was incorporated in
Maryland on December 2, 1966. The Fund has an authorized capital of
2,000,000,000 shares with a par value of $.01 per share. The Board of Direc-
tors has authorized the issuance of fifteen series of shares, each representing
shares in one of fifteen separate Portfolios and may authorize the issuance of
additional classes of shares in the future. The assets of each Portfolio are
segregated and separately managed and a shareholder's interest is in the assets
and earnings of the Portfolio in which he or she holds shares. Class A and
Class Y shares of the Portfolio represent interests in the assets of the Port-
folio and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights on the
same terms and conditions except that expenses related to the distribution of
each Class of shares are borne solely by each Class and each Class of shares
has exclusive voting rights with respect to provisions of the Fund's Rule 12b-1
distribution plan which pertains to a particular Class. Shareholders are enti-
tled to one vote for each share held and will vote in the aggregate and not by
Portfolio except as otherwise required by the 1940 Act or Maryland law. As
described under "Voting" in the Statement of Additional Information, the Fund
ordinarily will not hold meetings of shareholders annually; however, sharehold-
ers have the right to call a meeting upon a vote of 10% of the Fund's outstand-
ing shares for the purpose of voting to remove directors. Shareholders will
receive assistance in communicating with other shareholders in connection with
the removal of directors as required by the 1940 Act. Shares do not have cumu-
lative voting rights or preemptive rights and are fully paid, transferable and
nonassessable when issued for payment as described in this Prospectus.
 
  PNC Bank, National Association, located at 17th and Chestnuts Streets,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103, serves as custodian of the Portfolio's
investments.
   
  First Data, located at Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, serves as
the Fund's transfer agent.     
 
  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. In addition, the Fund also plans to consolidate the mail-
ing of its

PORTFOLIO EXPENSES  
   
The following expense table lists the costs and expenses an investor will incur
either directly or indirectly as a shareholder of Class Z shares of the
Portfolio, based on operating expenses for Class Z shares for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1995.     
 
<TABLE>   
<S>                                                                    <C>

  The nature of the services for which the Fund pays management fees is
described under "Management of the Fund." "Other expenses" in the above table
include fees for shareholder services, custodial fees, legal and accounting
fees, printing costs and registration fees.
 
 EXAMPLE
 
  The following example is intended to assist an investor in understanding the
various costs that an investor in the Portfolio will bear directly or indirect-
ly. The example assumes payment by the Portfolio of operating expenses at the
levels set forth in the table above. See "Purchase and Redemption of Shares"
and "Management of the Fund."

An investor would pay the following expenses
on a $1,000 investment in Class Z shares of
the Portfolio, assuming (1) a 5.00% annual
return and (2) redemption at the end of each
time period:                                    $7     $22     $38     $86
</TABLE>    
 
  The example also provides a means for the investor to compare expense levels
of funds with different fee structures over varying investment periods. To
facilitate such comparison, all funds are required to utilize a 5.00% annual
return assumption. However, the Portfolio's actual return will vary and may be
greater or less than 5.00%. THIS EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTA-
TION OF FUTURE EXPENSES AND ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE
SHOWN.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES     
   
  The Equity Income Portfolio (the "Portfolio") seeks current income and long-
term growth of income and capital by investing primarily, but not exclusively,
in common stocks. Of course, no assurance can be given that the Portfolio's
objective will be achieved.     
 
  The Portfolio invests primarily in common stocks offering a current return
from dividends and will also normally include some interest-paying debt obli-
gations (such as U.S. Government Obligations, investment grade bonds and deben-
 
4

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
   
tures) and high quality short-term debt obligations (such as commercial paper
and repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government securities with
broker/dealers or other financial institutions, including the Fund's custodi-
an). At least 65% of the Portfolio's assets will at times be invested in
equity securities. The Portfolio may also purchase preferred stocks and con-
vertible securities. Temporary defensive investments or a higher percentage of
debt securities may be held when deemed advisable by the Manager. To the
extent the Portfolio's assets are invested for temporary defensive purposes,
such assets will not be invested in a manner designed to achieve the Portfo-
lio's investment objective. In the selection of common stock investments,
emphasis is generally placed on issues with established dividend records as
well as potential for price appreciation. From time to time, however, a por-
tion of the assets may be invested in non-dividend paying stocks. The Portfo-
lio may make investments in foreign securities, though management currently
intends to limit such investments to 5% of the Portfolio's assets, and an
additional 10% of its assets may be invested in sponsored American Depositary
Receipts representing shares in foreign securities that are traded in United
States securities markets.     
   
  The Portfolio's investment objective and policies, are non-fundamental and,
as such, may be changed by the Board of Directors, provided such change is not
prohibited by the investment restrictions (which are set forth in the State-
ment of Additional Information) or applicable law, and any such change will
first be disclosed in the then current prospectus.     
 
  PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND TURNOVER
 
  All orders for transactions in securities and options on behalf of the Port-
folio are placed by the Manager with broker/dealers that the Manager selects,
including Smith Barney and other affiliated brokers. Brokerage will be allo-
cated to Smith Barney, to the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable
law, provided that, in the judgment of the Board of Directors of the Fund, the
commission, fee or other remuneration received or to be received by Smith Bar-
ney (or any broker/dealer affiliate of Smith Barney that is also a member of a
securities exchange) is reasonable and fair compared to the commission, fee or
other remuneration received by other brokers in connection with comparable
transactions involving similar securities being purchased or sold on a securi-
ties exchange during the same or comparable period of time. The Fund normally
expects to allocate to Smith Barney between 50% and 60% of the Portfolio's
transactions to be executed for such account on an agency basis. In all trades
directed to Smith Barney, the Fund has been assured that its orders will be
accorded priority over
 
                                                                              5
<PAGE>
 
Smith Barney Funds, Inc.
 
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
those received from Smith Barney for its own account or for any of its direc-
tors, officers or employees. The Fund will not deal with Smith Barney in any
transaction in which Smith Barney acts as principal.
 
  Although it is anticipated that most investments of the Portfolio will be
long-term in nature, the rate of portfolio turnover will depend upon market
and other conditions, and it will not be a limiting factor when the Manager
believes that portfolio changes are appropriate. It is expected that the Port-
folio's annual turnover rate will not exceed 100%. As the portfolio turnover
rate increases, so will the Portfolio's brokerage and other transaction
related expenses. Investors should realize that risk of loss is inherent in
the ownership of any securities and that shares of the Portfolio will fluctu-
ate with the market values of its securities.
 
VALUATION OF SHARES
 
 
  The net asset value per share of Class Z shares is determined as of the
close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") on each
day that the NYSE is open, by dividing the value of the Portfolio's net assets
attributable to Class Z by the total number of shares of the Class outstand-
ing. The per share net asset value of the Class Z shares may be higher than
those of other Classes because of lower expenses attributable to Class Z
shares.
 
  Securities that are listed or traded on a securities exchange are valued at
the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they are listed and
securities trading on the NASDAQ System are valued at the last sale price
reported as of the close of the NYSE. If no last sale is reported, the forego-
ing securities and over-the-counter securities other than those traded on the
NASDAQ System are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked
prices. Debt obligations are valued at the mean between the bid and asked quo-
tations for those securities or if no quotations are available, then for secu-
rities of similar type, yield and maturity. Short-term investments that have a
maturity of more than 60 days are valued at prices based on market quotations
for securities of similar type, yield and maturity. Short-term investments
that have a maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost when the
Board of Directors has determined that amortized cost equals fair value,
unless market conditions dictate otherwise. Other investments of the Portfo-
lio, if any, including restricted securities, are valued at a fair value
determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.

DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
 
 
  DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
   
  The Fund declares quarterly income dividends on shares of the Equity Income
Portfolio and makes annual distributions of capital gains, if any, on such
shares.     
 
  Unless a shareholder is eligible for qualified distributions and instructs
that dividends and capital gain distributions on shares be paid in cash and
credited to the shareholder's account, dividends and capital gain distribu-
tions will be reinvested automatically in additional shares of the Class at
net asset value as of the close of business on the payment date, subject to no
sales charge or CDSC.
 
  TAXES
 
  The Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to be relieved
of Federal income tax on that part of its net investment income and realized
capital gains which it pays out to its shareholders. To qualify, the Portfolio
must meet certain tests, including distributing at least 90% of its investment
company taxable income, and deriving less than 30% of its gross income from
the sale or other disposition of certain investments held for less than three
months.
 
  Dividends from net investment income and distributions of realized short-
term capital gains on the sale of securities, whether paid in cash or automat-
ically invested in additional shares of the Portfolio, are taxable to share-
holders of the Portfolio as ordinary income. The Portfolio's dividends will
not qualify for the dividends received deduction for corporations. Dividends
and distributions declared by the Portfolio may also be subject to state and
local taxes. Distributions out of net long-term capital gains are taxable to
shareholders as long-term capital gains. Information as to the tax status of
dividends deemed paid in each calendar year will be mailed to shareholders as
early in the succeeding year as practical but not later than January 31.
Shareholders should consult their plan document or tax advisers about the tax
consequences associated with participating in a Qualified Plan.
   
PURCHASE, EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES     
 
 
  Purchases of the Portfolio's Class Z shares must be made in accordance with
the terms of a Qualified Plan. Purchases are effected at the net asset value
next
 
                                                                              7

PURCHASE, EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES (CONTINUED)
   
determined after a purchase order is received by Smith Barney (the "trade
date"). Payment is due to Smith Barney on the third business day (the "settle-
ment date") after the trade date. Investors who make payment prior to the set-
tlement date may designate a temporary investment (such as a money market fund
of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds) for such payment until settlement date. The
Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase order and to suspend the offer-
ing of shares for a period of time. There are no minimum investment require-
ments for Class Z shares; however, the Fund reserves the right to vary this
policy at any time.     
 
  Purchase orders received by Smith Barney prior to the close of regular trad-
ing on the NYSE on any day that the Portfolio calculates its net asset value,
are priced according to the net asset value determined on that day. Orders
received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced as of the
time that the net asset value per share is next determined. See "Valuation of
Shares." Certificates for Portfolio shares are issued upon request to the
Fund's transfer agent.
   
  Qualified Plans may redeem their shares on any day on which the Portfolio
calculates its net asset value. See "Valuation of Shares." Redemption requests
received in proper form prior to the close of regular trading on the NYSE are
priced at the net asset value per share determined on that day. Redemption
requests received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at
the net asset value next determined. Shareholders acquiring Class Z shares
should consult the terms of their Qualified Plan for redemption provisions.
       
  Holders of Class Z shares should consult their Qualified Plans for informa-
tion about available exchange options.     
       
PERFORMANCE
 
 
  From time to time the Portfolio may include its total return, average annual
total return, yield and current dividend return for Class Z shares in adver-
tisements and/or other types of sales literature. 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

by the SEC is derived from this total return, which provides the ending redeem-
able 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 Portfolio calculates current dividend return for Class Z by divid-
ing the current dividend by the net asset value on the last day of the period
for which current dividend return is presented. The Portfolio's current divi-
dend return may vary from time to time depending on market conditions, the com-
position of its investment portfolio and operating expenses. These factors and
possible differences in the methods used in calculating current dividend return
should be considered when comparing the Portfolio's current return to yields
published for other investment companies and other investment vehicles. The
Portfolio may also include comparative performance information in advertising
or marketing Class Z shares. Such performance information may include data from
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. and other financial publications.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
 
 
  The Fund, an open-end, diversified investment company, was incorporated in
Maryland on December 2, 1966. The Fund has an authorized capital of
2,000,000,000 shares with a par value of $.01 per share. The Board of Directors
has authorized the issuance of fifteen series of shares, each representing
shares in one of fifteen separate Portfolios and may authorize the issuance of
additional series of shares in the future. The assets of each Portfolio are
segregated and separately managed and a shareholder's interest is in the assets
of the Portfolio in which he or she holds shares. Class A, Class B, Class C,
Class Y and Class Z shares (where available) of a Portfolio represent interests
in the assets of that Portfolio and have identical voting, dividend, liquida-
tion and other rights on the same terms and conditions except that expenses
related to the distribution of each Class of shares are borne solely by each
Class and each Class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to pro-
visions of the Fund's Rule 12b-1 distribution plan which pertain to a particu-
lar Class. As described under "Voting" in the Statement of Additional Informa-
tion, the Fund ordinarily will not hold shareholder meetings; however, share-
holders have the right to call a meeting upon a vote of 10% of the Fund's out-
standing shares for the purpose of voting to remove directors and, as required
by the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund will assist shareholders in
calling such a meeting. Shares do not have cumulative voting rights or preemp-
tive rights and are fully paid, transferable and nonassessable when issued for
payment as described in this Prospectus.

APPENDIX
 
  U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS
 
  In addition to Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") securities
and direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury (such as Treasury Bills, Notes and
Bonds), U.S. Government Obligations in which the Fund may invest include: (1)
obligations of, or issued by, Banks for Cooperatives, Federal Land Banks, Fed-
eral Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal Home Loan Banks, the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board, or the Student Loan Marketing Association; (2) other securities
fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United States of America;
(3) other obligations of, or issued by, or fully guaranteed as to principal and
interest by the Federal National Mortgage Association or any agency of the
United States; and (4) obligations currently or previously sold by the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.
 
  FOREIGN INVESTMENTS
   
  The Portfolio will ordinarily purchase foreign securities that are traded in
the United States or purchase American Depositary Receipts, which are certifi-
cates issued by U.S. banks representing the right to receive securities of a
foreign issuer deposited with that bank or a correspondent bank. However, the
Portfolio may purchase the securities of foreign issuers directly in foreign
markets. Foreign securities may involve a high degree of risk. Foreign securi-
ties usually are denominated in foreign currencies, which means their value
will be affected by changes in exchange rates between other currencies and the
U.S. dollar as well as the other factors that affect securities prices. Foreign
companies may not be subject to accounting standards or governmental supervi-
sion comparable to U.S. companies, and there may be less publicly available
information about their operations. There is generally less governmental regu-
lation of foreign securities markets, and security trading practices abroad may
offer less protection to investors such as the Portfolios. Foreign securities
can also be affected by political or financial instability abroad, and may be
less liquid or more volatile than domestic investments.     
 
  SECURITIES LENDING
   
  The Portfolio may seek to increase its net investment income by lending its
securities to unaffiliated brokers, dealers and other financial institutions,
provided such loans are callable at any time and are continuously secured by
cash or U.S. Government securities equal to no less than the market value,
determined daily, of the securities loaned. The risks in lending portfolio
securities     
 
                                                                             A-1
<PAGE>

APPENDIX (CONTINUED)
   
consist of possible delay in recovery of the securities or possible loss of
rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. Management will
limit such lending to not more than twenty percent of the value of the Portfo-
lio's total assets.     
 
  WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES
   
  The Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed
delivery basis. When-issued or delayed delivery transactions arise when securi-
ties are purchased or sold by the Portfolio with payment and delivery taking
place in the future in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous
price and yield to the Portfolio at the time of entering into the transaction.
The Fund's Custodian will maintain, in a segregated account of each Portfolio,
cash, U.S. Government securities or other liquid high-grade debt obligations
having a value equal to or greater than the Portfolio's purchase commitments;
the Custodian will likewise segregate securities sold on a delayed basis.     
 
  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
   
  The Portfolio may on occasion enter into repurchase agreements, wherein the
seller agrees to repurchase a security from the Portfolio at an agreed-upon
future date, normally the next business day. The resale price is greater than
the purchase price, which reflects the agreed-upon rate of return for the
period the Portfolio holds the security and which is not related to the coupon
rate on the purchased security. The Fund requires continual maintenance of the
market value of the collateral in amounts at least equal to the resale price,
thus risk is limited to the ability of the seller to pay the agreed-upon amount
on the delivery date; however, if the seller defaults, realization upon the
collateral by the Portfolio may be delayed or limited or the Portfolio might
incur a loss if the value of the collateral securing the repurchase agreement
declines and might incur disposition costs in connection with liquidating the
collateral. The Portfolio will only enter into repurchase agreements with
broker/dealers or other financial institutions that are deemed creditworthy by
the Manager under guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. It is the pol-
icy of the Fund not to invest in repurchase agreements that do not mature
within seven days if any such investment together with any other illiquid
assets held by the Portfolio amount to more than 15% of the Portfolio's total
assets.

THE PORTFOLIOS' EXPENSES
   
  The following expense table lists the costs and expenses an investor will

  The nature of the services for which the Fund pays management fees is
described under "Management of the Fund." "Other expenses" in the above table
include fees for shareholder services, custodial fees, legal and accounting
fees, printing costs and registration fees.
 
 EXAMPLE
 
  The following example is intended to assist an investor in understanding the
various costs that an investor in the Portfolio will bear directly or indirect-
ly. The example assumes payment by the Portfolio of operating expenses at the
levels set forth in the table above. See "Purchase and Redemption of Shares"
and "Management of the Fund."
 
<TABLE>   
<CAPTION>
                                                1 YEAR 3 YEARS 5 YEARS 10 YEARS

  An investor would pay the following expenses
  on a $1,000 investment in Class Z shares of
  the Portfolio, assuming(1) a 5.00% annual
  return and (2) redemption at the end of each
  time period:
   U.S. Government Securities Portfolio.......   $ 5     $16     $28     $63
   Income Return Account Portfolio............     7      22      39      87
</TABLE>    
 
  The example also provides a means for the investor to compare expense levels
of funds with different fee structures over varying investment periods. To
facilitate such comparison, all funds are required to utilize a 5.00% annual
return assumption. However, each Portfolio's actual return will vary and may be
greater or less than 5.00%. THIS EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTA-
TION OF PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES AND ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN
THOSE SHOWN.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES
 
 
  The U.S. Government Securities Portfolio seeks high current income, liquid-
ity and security of principal by investing in obligations of the U.S. Govern-
ment, its agencies or its instrumentalities and related repurchase and reverse
repurchase agreements. The Income Return Account Portfolio seeks high current
income from a portfolio of high quality debt obligations and employs an "immu-
nization strategy" (see below) to minimize the risk of loss of account value.
Of course, no assurance can be given that a Portfolio's objective will be
achieved.
 
  The U.S. Government Securities Portfolio invests primarily in Government
National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") Certificates of the modified pass-
through type and will also normally include other "U.S. Government Obliga-
tions," i.e., obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States, its agen-
cies or its instrumentalities and related repurchase and reverse repurchase
agreements (reverse repurchase agreement transactions are limited to no more
than 5% of the Portfolio's net assets). Under normal market conditions, the
Portfolio will seek to invest substantially all of its assets -- and will
invest not less than 65% of its assets -- in such securities. GNMA Certifi-
cates are debt securities issued by a mortgage banker or other mortgagee rep-
resenting an interest in a pool of mortgages insured by the Federal Housing
Administration or the Farmers Home Administration or guaranteed by the Veter-
ans Administration. The National Housing Act provides that the full faith and
credit of the United States is pledged to the timely payment of principal and
interest by GNMA of amounts due on these GNMA Certificates. Securities of the
type to be purchased for this Portfolio have historically involved no credit
risk; however, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such
securities will vary during the period of a shareholder's investment in the
Portfolio. The average life of GNMA Certificates varies with the maturities of
the underlying mortgages (with maximum maturities of 30 years) but is likely
to be substantially less than the original maturity of the mortgage pools
underlying the securities as the result of prepayments, refinancing of such
mortgages or foreclosure. Unscheduled prepayments of mortgages are passed
through to the holders of GNMA Certificates at par and will increase or
decrease the yield realized by the Portfolio, depending on the cost of the
underlying Certificate and its market value at the time of prepayment. As a
hedge against changes in interest rates, the U.S. Government Securities Port-
folio may enter into agreements with dealers in GNMA Certificates to purchase
or sell an agreed-upon principal amount of GNMA Certificates at a specified
price on a certain date; provided, however, that settlement occurs within 120
days of the trade date. For a detailed explanation, see "Appendix."

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
  The Income Return Account Portfolio invests in U.S. Government Obligations
(see "Appendix"), bankers' acceptances, certificates of deposit, securities
backed by letters of credit, commercial paper rated A-1 by Standard & Poor's
Corporation ("S&P") or Prime-1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")
and notes and bonds, including floating rate issues, rated A or better by S&P
or Moody's or, if not rated, of comparable quality as determined by the Manag-
er. The Portfolio's investments in U.S. Government Obligations will be in obli-
gations with remaining maturities of five years or less, and its investments in
corporate debt obligations will be in obligations with remaining maturities of
three years or less. Normally, approximately one-third of the Portfolio will
consist of obligations that have remaining maturities of less than one year;
however, it is expected there may be occasions when up to 100% of the Portfolio
will be invested in securities maturing within one year. This portfolio compo-
sition is intended to achieve a higher level of income than would otherwise be
available from an exclusively short-term portfolio with substantially less risk
than that of a conventional bond or note portfolio. While minor day-to-day
price fluctuations are unavoidable, it is believed that the Portfolio's immuni-
zation strategy will produce sufficient income accrual during adverse market
conditions to offset any potential loss in the Portfolio security value mea-
sured over a three month period.
 
  The U.S. Government Securities Portfolio may seek to increase its net invest-
ment income by lending its securities to unaffiliated brokers, dealers and
other financial institutions, provided such loans are callable at any time and
are continuously secured by cash or U.S. Government Obligations equal to no
less than the market value, determined daily, of the securities loaned. Manage-
ment will limit such lending to not more than one-third of the value of the
Portfolio's total assets. The risks in lending portfolio securities consist of
possible delay in recovery of the securities or possible loss of rights in the
collateral should the borrower fail financially. The Statement of Additional
Information contains more detailed information.
 
  The Board of Directors of the Fund may modify the investment objective and
policies of the U.S. Government Securities Portfolio provided such modification
is not prohibited by the investment restrictions (which are set forth in the
Statement of Additional Information) or applicable laws, and any such change
will first be disclosed in the then current prospectus. The Income Return
Account Portfolio may only change its objective and policies by the "vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities," as defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").
 
                                                                               7

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
 
  PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
 
  Neither of the Portfolios will engage in the trading of securities for the
purpose of realizing short-term profits; however, each Portfolio will adjust
its portfolio as considered advisable in view of prevailing or anticipated
market conditions and the Portfolio's investment objective. As the portfolio
turnover rate increases, so will the Portfolio's dealer mark-ups and other
transaction related expenses. Investors should realize that risk of loss is
inherent in the ownership of any securities and that shares of a Portfolio
will fluctuate with the market value of its securities.
 
VALUATION OF SHARES
 
 
  The net asset value per share of Class Z shares is determined as of the
close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") on each
day that the NYSE is open, by dividing the value of the Portfolio's net assets
attributable to Class Z by the total number of shares of the Class outstand-
ing. The per share net asset value of the Class Z shares may be higher than
those of other Classes because of the lower expenses attributable to Class Z
shares.
 
  Obligations are valued at the mean between the bid and asked quotations for
such securities or if no quotations are available, then for securities of sim-
ilar type, yield and maturity. Short-term investments that have a maturity of
more than 60 days are valued at prices based on market quotations for securi-
ties of similar type, yield and maturity. Short-term investments that have a
maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost when the Board of
Directors has determined that amortized cost equals fair value, unless market
conditions dictate otherwise. Other investments of a Portfolio, including
restricted securities, if any, are valued at a fair value determined by the
Board of Directors in good faith.
 
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
 
 
  DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
   
  The Fund declares monthly income dividends on shares of the U.S. Government
Securities Portfolio and of the Income Return Account Portfolio and makes
annual distributions of capital gains, if any, on such shares.

<PAGE>
 
Smith Barney Funds, Inc.
 
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES (CONTINUED)
 
 
  Unless a shareholder is eligible for qualified distributions and instructs
that dividends and capital gain distributions on shares be paid in cash and
credited to the shareholder's account, dividends and capital gain distribu-
tions will be reinvested automatically in additional shares of the Class at
net asset value as of the close of business on the payment date, subject to no
sales charge or CDSC.
 
  TAXES
 
  Each Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to be relieved
of Federal income tax on that part of its net investment income and realized
capital gains which it pays out to its shareholders. To qualify, a Portfolio
must meet certain tests, including distributing at least 90% of its investment
company taxable income, and deriving less that 30% of its gross income from
the sale or other disposition of certain investments held for less than three
months.
 
  It is the policy of the Fund to comply with requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
all of the taxable income and net taxable gains of each Portfolio to its
shareholders. Dividends derived from net investment income and capital gains
on the sale of securities, whether paid in cash or automatically invested in
additional shares of the same Portfolio, are taxable to shareholders of each
Portfolio. Information as to the tax status of dividends deemed paid in each
calendar year will be mailed to shareholders as early in the succeeding year
as practical but no later than January 31. Shareholders should consult their
plan document or tax advisers about the tax consequences associated with par-
ticipating in a Qualified Plan.
   
PURCHASE, EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES     
   
  Purchases of each Portfolio's Class Z shares must be made in accordance with
the terms of a Qualified Plan. Purchases are effected at the net asset value
next determined after a purchase order is received by Smith Barney (the "trade
date"). Payment is due to Smith Barney on the third business day (the "settle-
ment date") after the trade date. Investors who make payment prior to the set-
tlement date may designate a temporary investment (such as a money market fund
in the Smith Barney Mutual Funds) for such payment until settlement date. The
Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase order and to suspend the offer-
ing of shares for a period of time. There are no minimum investment     
 
                                                                              9

PURCHASE, EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES (CONTINUED)     
 
requirements for Class Z shares; however, the Fund reserves the right to vary
this policy at any time.
 
  Purchase orders received by Smith Barney prior to the close of regular trad-
ing on the NYSE on any day that the Portfolio calculates its net asset value,
are priced according to the net asset value determined on that day. Orders
received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced as of the
time that the net asset value per share is next determined. See "Valuation of
Shares." Certificates for Portfolio shares are issued upon request to the
Fund's transfer agent.
   
  Qualified Plans may redeem their shares on any day on which a Portfolio cal-
culates its net asset value. See "Valuation of Shares." Redemption requests
received in proper form prior to the close of regular trading on the NYSE are
priced at the net asset value per share determined on that day. Redemption
requests received after the close of regular trading on the NYSE are priced at
the net asset value next determined. Shareholders acquiring Class Z shares
should consult the terms of their Qualified Plan for redemption provisions.
    
          
  Holders of Class Z shares should consult their Qualified Plans for informa-
tion about available exchange options.     
       
PERFORMANCE
 
 
  From time to time the Portfolio may include its total return, average annual
total return, yield and current dividend return for Class Z shares in adver-
tisements and/or other types of sales literature. 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 reinvest-
ment of all income dividends and capital gain distributions on the reinvest-
ment 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 ini-
tial amount invested and subtracting 100%. The standard average annual total
return, as prescribed by the SEC is derived from this total return, which pro-
vides 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 yield of a Portfolio Class refers to
the net investment income earned by investments in the Class over a thirty-day
period. This net investment

PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)
 
income is then annualized, i.e., the amount of income earned by the investment
during that thirty-day period is assumed to be earned each 30-day period for
twelve periods and is expressed as a percentage of the investments. The yield
quotation is calculated according to a formula prescribed by the SEC to facili-
tate comparison with yields quoted by other investment companies. The U.S. Gov-
ernment Securities Portfolio calculates current dividend return for Class Z by
annualizing the most recent quarterly distribution from investment income,
including net equalization credits or debits, and dividing by the net asset
value on the last day of the period for which current dividend return is pre-
sented. The Income Return Account Portfolio calculates current dividend return
for Class Z by annualizing the most recent monthly distribution, including net
equalization credits or debits, and dividing by the net asset value on the last
day of the period for which current dividend return is presented. Current divi-
dend return may vary from time to time depending on market conditions, the com-
position of its investment portfolio and operating expenses. These factors and
possible differences in the methods used in calculating current dividend return
should be considered when comparing a Class' current return to yields published
for other investment companies and other investment vehicles. Each Portfolio
may also include comparative performance information in advertising or market-
ing Class Z shares. Such performance information may include data from Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. and other financial publications.
 
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND
 
 
 BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
  Overall responsibility for management and supervision of the Fund rests with
the Fund's Board of Directors. The Directors approve all significant agreements
between the Fund and the companies that furnish services to the Fund and each
Portfolio, including agreements with the Fund's distributor, investment manag-
er, custodian and transfer agent. The day-to-day operations of each Portfolio
are delegated to the investment manager. The Statement of Additional Informa-
tion contains background information regarding each Director and executive
officer of the Fund.
 
 MANAGER
   
  Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. (the "Manager") manages the day-to-
day operations of each Portfolio pursuant to a management agreement     
 
                                                                              11

entered into by the Fund on behalf of each Portfolio under which the Manager
offers each Portfolio advice and assistance with respect to the acquisition,
holding or disposal of securities and recommendations with respect to other
aspects and affairs of each Portfolio and furnishes each Portfolio with book-
keeping, accounting and administrative services, office space and equipment,
and the services of the officers and employees of the Fund. By written agree-
ment the research and other departments and staff of Smith Barney will furnish
the Manager with information, advice and assistance and will be available for
consultation on the Fund's Portfolios, thus Smith Barney may also be consid-
ered an investment adviser to the Fund. Smith Barney's services are paid for
by the Manager on the basis of direct and indirect costs to Smith Barney of
performing such services; there is no charge to the Fund for such services.
   
  The management fee for each Portfolio is 0.44% of each Portfolio's average
net assets. Payment under each Portfolio's management agreement is made as
promptly as possible after the last day of each month and is computed on the
aggregate net assets of all Portfolios during the month. Total operating
expenses of the Class Z Shares for the U.S. Government Securities Portfolio
and the Income Return Account Portfolio were 0.50% and 0.70% of average net
assets, respectively.     
   
  The Manager, incorporated on March 12, 1968 under the laws of Delaware, is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Smith Barney Holdings ("Holdings"), the parent com-
pany of Smith Barney. Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers Group
Inc. ("Travelers"), which is a financial services holding company engaged,
through its subsidiaries, principally in four business segments: Investment
Services, Consumer Finance Services, Life Insurance Services and Property &
Casualty Insurance Services. As of December 31, 1995, the Manager had aggre-
gate assets under management of approximately $69 billion. The Manager, Smith
Barney and Holdings are each located at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New
York 10013. The term "Smith Barney" in the title of the Fund has been adopted
by permission of Smith Barney and is subject to the right of Smith Barney to
elect that the Fund stop using the term in any form or combination of its
name.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
 
 
  The Fund, an open-end, diversified investment company, was incorporated in
Maryland on December 2, 1966. The Fund has an authorized capital of
2,000,000,000 shares with a par value of $.01 per share. The Board of Directors
has authorized the issuance of fifteen series of shares, each representing
shares in one of fifteen separate Portfolios and may authorize the issuance of
additional series of shares in the future. The assets of each Portfolio are
segregated and separately managed and a shareholder's interest is in the assets
of the Portfolio in which he or she holds shares. Class A, Class B, Class C,
Class Y and Class Z shares (where available) of a Portfolio represent interests
in the assets of that Portfolio and have identical voting, dividend, liquida-
tion and other rights on the same terms and conditions except that expenses
related to the distribution of each Class of shares are borne solely by each
Class and each

APPENDIX
   
  GNMA Securities. Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), an agency
of the United States Government, guarantees the timely payment of monthly
installments of principal and interest on modified pass-through Certificates,
whether or not such amounts are collected by the issuer of these Certificates
on the underlying mortgages. Scheduled payments of principal and interest are
made each month to holders of GNMA Certificates (such as the U.S. Government
Securities Portfolio). Unscheduled prepayments of mortgages are passed through
to holders of GNMA Certificates at par with the regular monthly payments of
principal and interest, which have the effect of reducing future payments on
such Certificates. The income portions of monthly payments received by these
Portfolios will be included in their net investment income. See "Dividends,
Distributions and Taxes."     
   
  GNMA Certificates have historically involved no credit risk; however, due to
fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities will vary
during the period of a shareholder's investment in the U.S. Government Securi-
ties Portfolio. Prepayments and scheduled payments of principal will be rein-
vested by the Portfolio in then available GNMA Certificates which may bear
interest at a rate lower or higher than the Certificate from which the payment
was received. As with other debt securities, the price of GNMA Certificates is
likely to decrease in times of rising interest rates; however, in periods of
falling interest rates the potential for prepayment may reduce the general
upward price increase of GNMA Certificates that might otherwise occur. If the
Portfolio buys GNMA Certificates at a premium, mortgage foreclosures or prepay-
ments may result in a loss to the Portfolio of up to the amount of the premium
paid since only timely payment of principal and interest is guaranteed.     
 
  Other U.S. Government Obligations. In addition to GNMA Securities and direct
obligations of the U.S. Treasury (such as Treasury Bills, Notes and Bonds),
U.S. Government Obligations in which the Fund may invest include: (1) obliga-
tions of, or issued by, Banks for Cooperatives, Federal Land Banks, Federal
Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal Home Loan Banks, the Federal Home Loan Bank
Board, or the Student Loan Marketing Association; (2) other securities fully
guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United States of America; (3)
other obligations of, or issued by, or fully guaranteed as to principal and
interest by the Federal National Mortgage Association or any agency of the
United States; and (4) obligations currently or previously sold by the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.

APPENDIX (CONTINUED)
 
  Repurchase Agreements. A repurchase agreement arises when the Fund purchases
a security for a Portfolio and simultaneously agrees to resell it to the ven-
dor at an agreed-upon future date, normally the next business day. The resale
price is greater than the purchase price, which reflects an agreed-upon rate
of return for the period the Portfolio holds the security and which is not
related to the coupon rate on the purchased security. The Fund requires con-
tinual maintenance of the market value of the collateral in amounts at least
equal to the resale price, thus risk is limited to the ability of the seller
to pay the agreed-upon amount on the delivery date; however, if the seller
defaults, realization upon the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or lim-
ited or the Portfolio might incur a loss if the value of the collateral secur-
ing the repurchase agreement declines and might incur disposition costs in
connection with liquidating the collateral. A Portfolio will only enter into
repurchase agreements with broker/dealers or other financial institutions that
are deemed creditworthy by the Manager under guidelines approved by the Board
of Directors. It is the policy of the Fund not to invest in repurchase agree-
ments that do not mature within seven days if any such investment together
with any other illiquid assets held by the Portfolio amount to more than 15%
of that Portfolio's total assets.
 
  Delayed Delivery. A delayed delivery transaction involves the purchase of
securities at an agreed-upon price on a specified future date. At the time the
Fund enters into a binding obligation to purchase securities on a delayed
delivery basis the Portfolio has all the rights and risks attendant to the
ownership of the security and therefore must maintain with the Custodian a
segregated account with assets of a dollar amount sufficient to make payment
for the securities to be purchased. The value of the securities on the deliv-
ery date may be more or less than their purchase price. Securities purchased
on a delayed delivery basis do not generally earn interest until their sched-
uled delivery date.

	INVESTMENT POLICIES


The Articles of Incorporation of the Fund permit the Board of Directors to 
establish additional Portfolios of the Fund from time to time.  The investment 
objectives, policies and restrictions applicable to additional Portfolios 
would be established by the Board of Directors at the time such Portfolios 
were established and may differ from those set forth in the Prospectus and 
this Statement of Additional Information.

	The Fund effects portfolio transactions with a view towards attaining 
the investment objectives of the Portfolios and is not limited to a 
predetermined rate of portfolio turnover.  A high portfolio turnover results 
in correspondingly greater transaction costs in the form of dealer spreads or 
brokerage commissions and other transaction costs that a Portfolio will bear 
directly, and may result in the realization of net capital gains which are 
taxable when distributed to shareholders.  See " Financial Highlights" in the 
Prospectus and "Investment Management Agreement and Other Services - 
Brokerage" in this Statement of Additional Information.

	Each Portfolio, other than the Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities 
Portfolio, may invest in investment grade bonds, i.e. U.S. Government 
Obligations or bonds rated Aaa, Aa, A and Baa by Moody's Investors Service, 
Inc. ("Moody's") or AAA, AA, A and BBB by Standard & Poor's ("S&P").

Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements.  Each Portfolio may on occasion 
enter into repurchase agreements, wherein the seller agrees to repurchase a 
security from the Portfolio at an agreed-upon future date, normally the next 
business day.  The resale price is greater than the purchase price, which 
reflects the agreed-upon rate of return for the period the Portfolio holds the 
security and which is not related to the coupon rate on the purchased 
security.  The Fund requires continual maintenance of the market value of the 
collateral in amounts at least equal to the resale price, thus risk is limited 
to the ability of the seller to pay the agreed-upon amount on the delivery 
date; however, if the seller defaults, realization upon the collateral by the 
Portfolio may be delayed or limited or the Portfolio might incur a loss if the 
value of the collateral securing the repurchase agreement declines and might 
incur disposition costs in connection with liquidating the collateral.  A 
Portfolio will only enter into repurchase agreements with broker/dealers or 
other financial institutions that are deemed creditworthy by the Manager under 
guidelines approved by the Board of Directors.  It is the policy of the Fund 
not to invest in repurchase agreements that do not mature within seven days if 
any such investment together with any other illiquid assets held by a 
Portfolio amount to more than 15% of that Portfolio's total assets.

The Fund has never entered into reverse repurchase agreements even though it 
is permitted to do so on behalf of the Income Return Account Portfolio and the 
U.S. Government Securities Portfolio.  The Fund does not currently intend to 
commit to such agreements more than 5% of the net assets of any of these two 
Portfolios, although the fundamental policies of the Income Return Account 
Portfolio and the Utility Portfolio permit each Portfolio to invest up to 1/3 
of its total assets in reverse repurchase agreements, and this right is 
reserved.  Each of these Portfolios may enter into reverse repurchase 
agreements with broker/dealers and other financial institutions.  Such 
agreements involve the sale of Portfolio securities with an agreement to 
repurchase the securities at an agreed-upon price, date and interest payment 
and have the characteristics of borrowing.  Since the proceeds of borrowings 
under reverse repurchase agreements are invested, this would introduce the 
speculative factor known as "leverage."  The securities purchased with the 
funds obtained from the agreement and securities collateralizing the agreement 
will have maturity dates no later than the repayment date.  Generally the 
effect of such a transaction is that the Fund can recover all or most of the 
cash invested in the portfolio securities involved during the term of the 
reverse repurchase agreement, while in many cases it will be able to keep some 
of the interest income associated with those securities.  Such transactions 
are only advantageous if the Portfolio has an opportunity to earn a greater 
rate of interest on the cash derived from the transaction than the interest 
cost of obtaining that cash.  Opportunities to realize earnings from the use 
of the proceeds equal to or greater than the interest required to be paid may 
not always be available, and the Fund intends to use the reverse repurchase 
technique only when the Manager believes it will be advantageous to the 
Portfolio.  The use of reverse repurchase agreements may exaggerate any 
interim increase or decrease in the value of the participating Portfolio's 
assets.  The Fund's custodian bank will maintain a separate amount for the 
Portfolio with securities having a value equal to or greater than such 
commitments.

	Securities Lending.  Each Portfolio, other than the Income Return 
Account Portfolio and the Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities Portfolio, may 
seek to increase its net investment income by lending its securities provided 
such loans are callable at any time and are continuously secured by cash or 
U.S. Government Obligations equal to no less than the market value, determined 
daily, of the securities loaned.  The Portfolio will receive amounts equal to 
dividends or interest on the securities loaned.  It will also earn income for 
having made the loan because cash collateral pursuant to these loans will be 
invested in short-term money market instruments.  In connection with lending 
of securities the Fund may pay reasonable finders, administrative and 
custodial fees.  Management will limit such lending to not more than one-third 
of the value of the total assets of  the U.S. Government Securities Portfolio, 
and the investment restriction of the Equity Income  Portfolio limits it to 
less than 20% of such Portfolio's net assets.  Where voting or consent rights 
with respect to loaned securities pass to the borrower, management will follow 
the policy of calling the loan, in whole or in part as may be appropriate, to 
permit the exercise of such voting or consent rights if the issues involved 
have a material effect on the Portfolio's investment in the securities loaned. 
 Apart from lending its securities and acquiring debt securities of a type 
customarily purchased by financial institutions, none of the foregoing 
Portfolios will make loans to other persons.  The risks in lending portfolio 
securities, as with other extensions of secured credit, consist of possible 
delay in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the securities 
or possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail 
financially.  Loans will only be made to borrowers whom the Manager deems to 
be of good standing and will not be made unless, in the judgment of the 
Manager, the interest to be earned from such loans would justify the risk.

	Foreign Investments.  The Equity Income Portfolio may invest its assets 
in the securities of foreign issuers. Investments in foreign securities 
involve certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities 
of domestic issuers.  Such risks include currency exchange control regulations 
and costs, the possibility of expropriation, seizure, or nationalization of 
foreign deposits, less liquidity and volume and more volatility in foreign 
securities markets and the impact of political, social, economic or diplomatic 
developments or the adoption of other foreign government restrictions that 
might adversely affect the payment of principal and interest on securities in 
a Portfolio.  If it should become necessary, the Fund might encounter greater 
difficulties in invoking legal processes abroad than would be the case in the 
United States.  In addition, there may be less publicly available information 
about a non-U.S. company, and non-U.S. companies are not generally subject to 
uniform accounting and financial reporting standards, practices and 
requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies.  Furthermore, 
some of these securities may be subject to foreign brokerage and withholding 
taxes.

	For many foreign securities, there are U.S. dollar-denominated American 
Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), which are traded in the United States on 
exchanges or over the counter and are sponsored and issued by domestic banks. 
 ADRs represent the right to receive securities of foreign issuers deposited 
in a domestic bank or a correspondent bank.  ADRs do not eliminate all the 
risk inherent in investing in the securities of foreign issuers.  However, by 
investing in ADRs rather than directly in foreign issuers' stock, the 
Portfolio can avoid currency risks during the settlement period for either 
purchases or sales.  In general, there is a large, liquid market in the United 
States for many ADRs.  The information available for ADRs is subject to the 
accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards of the domestic market 
or exchange on which they are traded, which standards are more uniform and 
more exacting that those to which many foreign issuers may be subject.  


Additional Policies - Equity Income Portfolio 

	Although the Equity Income Portfolio may, as described below, sell short 
"against the box," buy or sell puts or calls and borrow money, the Equity 
Income Portfolio has not done so during the last fiscal year and neither 
Portfolio has any intention of doing so in the foreseeable future.

	Although the Equity Income Portfolio may lend money or assets, as 
described in investment restriction 18 on page 11, the Portfolio has not 
engaged in this practice within the last year and does not currently intend to 
engage in loans other than short-term loans.  

	While the Equity Income Portfolio is permitted to invest in warrants 
(including 2% or less of the Portfolio's total net assets in warrants that are 
not listed on the New York Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange), the 
Portfolio has not purchased any warrants during its last fiscal year and has 
no intention of doing so in the foreseeable future.  For purposes of computing 
the foregoing percentage, warrants acquired by the Portfolio in units or 
attached to securities will be deemed to be without value.

	In addition, although each of the Equity Income Portfolio may buy or 
sell put and call options up to 15% of its net assets, provided such options 
are listed on a national securities exchange, neither Portfolio has done so in 
the last year, and neither Portfolio currently intends to commit more than 5% 
of its assets to be invested in or subject to put and call options.  A "call 
option" gives a holder the right to purchase a specific stock at a specified 
price referred to as the "exercise price," within a specific period of time 
(usually 3, 6, or 9 months).  A "put option" gives a holder the right to sell 
a specific stock at a specified price within a specified time period.  The 
initial purchaser of a call option pays the "writer" a premium, which is paid 
at the time of purchase and is retained by the writer whether or not such 
option is exercised.  Put and call options are currently traded on The Chicago 
Board Options Exchange and several other national exchanges.  Institutions, 
such as the Fund, that sell (or "write") call options against securities held 
in their investment portfolios retain the premium.  If the writer determines 
not to deliver the stock prior to the option's being exercised, the writer may 
purchase in the secondary market an identical option for the same stock with 
the same price and expiration date in fulfillment of the obligation.  In the 
event the option is exercised the writer must deliver the underlying stock to 
fulfill the option obligation.  The brokerage commissions associated with the 
buying and selling of call options are normally proportionately higher than 
those associated with general securities transactions.



	INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

	The Fund has adopted the following restrictions and fundamental policies 
that cannot be changed without approval by a "vote of a majority of the 
outstanding voting securities" of each Portfolio affected by the change as 
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") and Rule 18f-2 
thereunder (see "Voting").

	Without the approval of a majority of its outstanding voting securities 
the Equity Income  Portfolio may not:

	1.  Invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets in any one 
issuer (except securities of the U.S. Government and its instrumentalities); 
2.  Invest more than 25% of the value of its total assets in any one industry; 
3.  Invest more than 5% of its total assets in issuers with less than three 
years of continuous operation (including that of predecessors) or so-called 
"unseasoned" equity securities that are not either admitted for trading on a 
national stock exchange or regularly quoted in the over-the-counter market; 4. 
 Purchase more than 10% of any class of outstanding securities, or any class 
of voting securities, of any one issuer; 5.  Purchase any securities on 
margin; 6.  Make short sales of securities or maintain a short position unless 
at all times when a short position is open, the Portfolio owns or has the 
right to obtain, at no added cost, securities identical to those sold short; 
7.  Borrow money, except as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency 
purposes, and then not in excess of the lesser of 10% of its total assets 
taken at cost or 5% of the value of its total assets; 8.  Mortgage or pledge 
any of its assets; 9.  Act as a securities underwriter or invest in real 
estate or commodities (the purchase by the Portfolio of securities for which 
there is an established market of companies engaged in real estate activities 
or investments shall not be deemed to be prohibited by this fundamental 
investment limitation); 10.  Invest in securities of another investment 
company except as permitted by Section 12(d)(1) of the Investment Company Act 
of 1940 or as part of a merger, consolidation, or acquisition; 11.  Invest in 
or hold securities of an issuer if those officers and directors of the Fund, 
its Adviser, or Smith Barney owning beneficially more than 1/2 of 1% of the 
securities of such issuer together own more than 5% of the securities of such 
issuer; 12.  Invest in "restricted securities", that is, securities which at 
the time of purchase by the Portfolio would have to be registered under the 
Securities Act of 1933 before they could be sold; 13.  Invest in any company 
for the purpose of exercising control of management; 14.  Have more than 15% 
of its net assets at any time invested in or subject to puts, calls or 
combinations thereof and may not purchase or sell options that are not listed 
on a national securities exchange; 15.  Invest in interests in oil or gas or 
other mineral exploration or development programs; 16.  Participate on a joint 
or joint and several basis in any securities trading account; 17.  Purchase or 
sell any securities other than shares of the Fund from or to the Adviser or 
any officer or director of the Adviser or the Fund; and 18.  Lend money or 
assets, except that the Portfolio may purchase a portion of issues of publicly 
distributed bonds, debentures or notes and may invest in certificates of 
deposit or commercial paper, and may lend a portion of its portfolio 
securities to broker-dealers and financial institutions, provided that any 
such loan must be secured at all times by cash or U.S. Government Obligations 
equal at all times to at least 100% of the market value of the portfolio 
securities loaned.  The Portfolio will not make a portfolio securities loan if 
immediately thereafter as a result thereof, portfolio securities with a market 
value of 20% or more of the Portfolio's total net assets would be subject to 
such loans.

	Without the approval of a majority of its outstanding voting securities 
the U.S. Government Securities Portfolio may not:

	1.  Purchase any securities other than obligations issued or guaranteed 
by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities, some of which may 
be subject to repurchase agreements.  There is no limit on the amount of its 
assets which may be invested in the securities of any one issuer of such 
obligations; 2.  Purchase securities on margin, sell securities short 
(provided however each Portfolio may sell short if it maintains a segregated 
account of cash or U.S. Government Obligations with the Custodian, so that the 
amount deposited in it plus the collateral deposited with the broker equals 
the current market value of the securities sold short and is not less than the 
market value of the securities at the time they were sold short) or purchase 
mortgage-related securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its 
agencies or instrumentalities); 3.  Borrow money, except from banks for 
temporary purposes and then in amounts not in excess of 5% of the value of 
each Portfolio's assets at the time of such borrowing; or mortgage, pledge or 
hypothecate any assets except in connection with any such borrowing and in 
amounts not in excess of 7 1/2% of the value of the Fund's assets at the time 
of such borrowing.  (This borrowing provisions is not for investment leverage, 
but solely to facilitate management of each Portfolio by enabling each 
Portfolio to meet redemption requests where the liquidation of portfolio 
securities is deemed to be disadvantageous or inconvenient.)  Borrowings may 
take the form of a sale of portfolio securities accompanied by a simultaneous 
agreement as to their repurchase; 4.  Make loans, except through the purchase 
of debt obligations (described in restriction 1 above), repurchase agreements 
and loans of each Portfolio's securities; and 5.  Act as an underwriter of 
securities except to the extent the Fund may be deemed to be an underwriter in 
connection with the sale of portfolio holdings.

	Without the approval of a majority of its outstanding voting securities 
the Income Return Account Portfolio may not:

	1.  Purchase common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants, other equity 
securities or municipal obligations; 2.  Borrow money except from banks for 
temporary purposes in an amount up to 10% of the value of its total assets and 
may pledge its assets in an amount up to 10% of the value of its total assets 
only to secure such borrowings.  The Portfolio will borrow money only to 
accommodate requests for the redemption of shares while effecting an orderly 
liquidation of portfolio securities or to clear securities transactions and 
not for leveraging purposes.  This restriction shall not be deemed to prohibit 
the Portfolio from entering into reverse repurchase agreements so long as not 
more than 33 1/3% of the Portfolio's total assets are subject to such 
agreements; 3.  With respect to 75% of its assets, invest more than 5% of its 
assets in the securities of any one issuer, except securities issued or 
guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government, its agencies 
or instrumentalities; 4.  Purchase securities on margin or sell securities 
short; 5.  Write or purchase put or call options; 6.  Underwrite the 
securities of other issuers or knowingly purchase securities subject to 
restrictions on disposition under the Securities Act of 1933 (i.e. "restricted 
securities"); 7.  Purchase or sell commodities or commodity futures contracts, 
oil and gas interests or real estate (however, the Portfolio may purchase 
mortgage-related securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its 
agencies or instrumentalities); 8.  Make loans to others (except through the 
purchase of debt obligations as described in the Fund's then current 
Prospectus), except that the Fund may purchase and simultaneously resell for 
later delivery, obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest 
by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities; provided, 
however, that the Portfolio will not enter into such a repurchase agreement 
if, as a result thereof, more than 10% of its total assets (taken at current 
value) at that time would be subject to repurchase agreements maturing in more 
than seven days; 9.  Invest in companies for the purpose of exercising 
control; 
10.  Invest in securities of other investment companies, except as they may be 
acquired as part of a merger, consolidation or acquisition of assets; 11.  
Purchase any securities, other than obligations of the U.S. Government, its 
agencies or its instrumentalities, if immediately after such purchase more 
than 25% of the Portfolio's total assets would be invested in the securities 
of issuers in the same industry;  12.  Issue senior securities as defined in 
the Act except insofar as the Fund may be deemed to have issued a senior 
security by reason of (a) entering into any repurchase agreement or reverse 
repurchase agreement; or (b) permitted borrowings of money; and 13. Purchase 
any security if as a result the Portfolio would then have more than 5% of its 
total assets (taken at current value) invested in securities of companies 
(including predecessors) that have been operation for less than three years or 
in equity securities for which market quotations are not readily available.


	Without the approval of a majority of its outstanding voting securities, 
the Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities Portfolio may not:

	1.  Invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets in the 
securities of any one issuer (other than obligations issued or guaranteed by 
the United States Government, its agencies or instrumentalities); 2.  Purchase 
common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants, other equity securities, corporate 
bonds, municipal bonds or industrial revenue bonds; 3.  Borrow money except 
from banks for temporary purposes in an amount up to 10% of the value of its 
total assets.  The Portfolio will borrow money only to accommodate requests 
for the redemption of shares while effecting an orderly liquidation of 
portfolio securities or to clear securities transactions and may not for 
leveraging purposes.  Whenever borrowings exceed 5% of the value of the 
Portfolio's total assets, the Portfolio will not make any additional 
investments.  This restriction will not be deemed to prohibit the Fund from 
obtaining letters of credit solely for purpose of participating in a captive 
insurance company sponsored by the Investment Company Institute to provide 
fidelity and directors and officers liability insurance; 4.  Pledge, 
hypothecate, mortgage or otherwise encumber its assets, except in an amount up 
to 10% of the value of its total assets, but only to secure borrowings for 
temporary purposes; 5.  Sell securities short or purchase securities on 
margin; 6.  Write or purchase put or call options; 7.  Underwrite the 
securities of other issuers or purchase restricted securities; 8. Purchase or 
sell real estate, real estate investment trust securities, commodities or 
commodity contracts or oil and gas interests; 9.  Make loans to others except 
through the purchase of qualified debt obligations in accordance with the 
Portfolio's investment objective and policies; 10.  Issue senior securities as 
defined in the Act except insofar as the Portfolio may be deemed to have 
issued a senior security by reason of:  (a) borrowing money in accordance with 
restrictions described above or (b) by purchasing securities on a when-issued 
or delayed delivery basis or purchasing or selling securities on a forward 
commitment basis; and 11. Invest in securities of other investment companies, 
except as they may be acquired as part of a merger, consolidation, acquisition 
of assets or plan of reorganization.

	The foregoing percentage restrictions apply at the time an investment is 
made; a subsequent increase or decrease in percentage may result from changes 
in values or net assets.


	ADDITIONAL TAX INFORMATION

	The following summary addresses the principal United States income tax 
considerations regarding the purchase, ownership and disposition of shares in 
a Portfolio of the Fund.

General.

	Each Portfolio within the Fund is generally treated as a separate 
corporation for federal income tax purposes, and thus the provisions of the 
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") generally will be 
applied to each Portfolio separately, rather than to the Fund as a whole.  For 
tax purposes therefor, net long-term and short-term capital gains, net income 
and operating expenses will be determined separately for each Portfolio.

	Each Portfolio within the Fund intends to qualify and elect to be 
treated for each taxable year as a "regulated investment company" under 
Sections 851-855 of the Code.  To so qualify, each Portfolio must, among other 
things, (i) derive at least 90% of its gross income in each taxable year from 
dividends, interest, proceeds from loans of stock and securities, gains from 
the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currency, of 
certain other income (including but not limited to gains from options, futures 
and forward contracts) derived from its business of investing stock, 
securities or currency; (ii) derive less than 30% of its gross income in each 
taxable year from the sale or other disposition of any of the following which 
was held for less than three months: (a) stocks or securities, (b) options, 
futures or forward contracts (other than options, futures or forward contracts 
on foreign currency), but only if such currency (or options futures of forward 
contracts) is not directly related to each Portfolio's principal business of 
investing in stock or securities (or options or futures with respect to stock 
or securities); and (iii) diversify its holding so that , at the end of each 
quarter of its taxable years, the following two conditions are met:  (a) at 
least 50% of the market value of the Portfolio's total assets is represented 
by cash, U.S. Government securities, securities of other regulated investment 
companies and other securities, with such other securities limited, in respect 
of any one issuer, to an amount not greater than 5% of the Portfolio's assets 
and not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer; and 
(b) not more than 25% of the value of the Portfolio's assets is invested in 
securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. Government securities or 
securities of other regulated investment companies).  The diversification 
requirements described above may limit a Portfolio's ability to engage in 
hedging transactions by writing or buying options or by entering into futures 
or forward contracts.
   
	At December 31, 1995 the unused capital loss carryovers of the Fund by 
Portfolio were approximately as follows:  U.S. Government Securities 
Portfolio, $4,584,000; Income Return Account Portfolio, $1,695,000; and Short-
Term U.S. Treasury 
Securities Portfolio, $8,073,000.  For
federal income tax purposes, 
these amounts are available to be applied 
against future securities gains, if 
any, realized.  The carryovers expire as follows:

		 December 31,
		(in thousands)
				     	1996  	  1997  	2001	 2002 	2003

Income Return Account Portfolio		930	218	---	547	-----	
Short-Term U.S. Treasury			---	---	1,477	5,472	1,124
Securities Portfolio
    
Distributions

	If the net asset value of shares of a Portfolio is reduced below a 
shareholder's costs as a result of a distribution by the Portfolio, such 
distribution will be taxable even though it represents a return of invested 
capital.

Redemption of Shares.

	Any gain or loss realized on the redemption or exchange of Portfolio 
shares by a shareholder who is not a dealer in securities will be treated as 
long-term capital loan or loss if the shares have been held for more than one 
year, and otherwise as short-term capital gain or loss.

	However, any loss realized by a shareholder upon the redemption or 
exchange of Portfolio shares held six months or less will be treated as a 
long-term capital loss to the extent of any long-term capital gain 
distributors received by the shareholder with respect to such shares.  
Additionally, any loss realized on a redemption or exchange of Portfolio 
shares will be disallowed to the extent the shares disposed of are replaced 
within a period of 61 days beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after 
such disposition, such as pursuant to reinvestment of dividends in Portfolio 
shares.


	IRA AND OTHER PROTOTYPE RETIREMENT PLANS

	Copies of the following plans with custody or trust agreements have been 
approved by the Internal Revenue Service and are available from the Fund or 
Smith Barney; investors should consult with their own tax or retirement 
planning advisors prior to the establishment of a plan.


IRA, Rollover IRA and Simplified Employee Pension - IRA

	The Tax Reform Act of 1986, as amended, (the "Tax Reform Act") changed the 
eligibility requirements for participants in Individual Retirement Accounts 
("IRAs").  Under the Tax Reform Act's new provisions, if you or your spouse 
has earned income and neither your nor your spouse is an active participant in 
any employer-sponsored retirement plan, each of you may establish an IRA and 
make maximum annual contributions equal to the lesser of earned income or 
$2,000.  If your spouse is not employed, you may contribute and deduct on your 
joint venture a total of $2,250 between two IRA's.

	If you or you spouse is an active participant in an employer-sponsored 
retirement plan, a deduction for contributions to an IRA might still be 
allowed in full or in part, depending on your combined adjusted gross income. 
 For married couples filing jointly, a full deduction of contributions to an 
IRA will be allowed where the couples' adjusted gross income is below $40,001 
($25,001 for an unmarried individual); a partial deduction will be allowed 
when adjusted gross income is between $40,001 - $50,000 ($25,001 - $35,000 for 
an unmarried individual); and no deduction when adjusted income is $50,000 
($35,000 for an unmarried individual).  Shareholders should consult  their tax 
advisors concerning the effects of the Tax Reform Act on the deductibility of 
their IRA contributions.

	A Rollover IRA is available to defer taxes on lump sum payments and other 
qualifying rollover amounts (no maximum) received from another retirement 
plan.

	An employer who has established a Simplified Employee Pension - IRA ("SEP-
IRA") on behalf of eligible employees may make a maximum annual contribution 
to each participant's account of 15% (up to $22,500) of each participant's 
compensation.

	In addition, certain small employers (those who have 25 or fewer 
employees) can establish a Simplified Employees Pension Plan - Salary 
Reduction Plan ("SEP - Salary Reduction Plan") under which employees can make 
elective pre-tax contributions of up to  $9,240 of gross income.  Consult your 
tax advisor for special rules regarding establishing either type of SEP.

	An ERISA disclosure statement providing additional details is included 
with each IRA application sent to participants.


Paired Defined Contribution Prototype

	Corporations (including Subchapter S corporations) and non-corporate 
entities may purchase shares of the Fund through the Smith Barney Prototype 
Paired Defined Contribution Plan.  The prototype permits adoption of profit-
sharing provisions, money purchase pension provisions, or both, to provide 
benefits for eligible employees and their beneficiaries.  The prototype 
provides for a maximum annual tax deductible contribution on behalf of each 
Participant of up to 25% of compensation, but not to exceed $30,000 (provided 
that a money purchase pension plan or both a profit-sharing plan and a money 
purchase pension plan are adopted thereunder).


	PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

	From time to time the Fund may advertise a Portfolio's total return, 
average annual total return and yield in advertisements.  In addition, in 
other types of sales literature the Fund may also advertise a Portfolio's 
current dividend return.  These figures are based on historical earnings and 
are not intended to indicate future performance.  The total return shows what 
an investment in the Portfolio would have earned over a specified period of 
time (one, five or ten years) assuming the payment of the maximum sales load 
when the investment was first made, that all distributions and dividends by 
the Portfolio were reinvested on the reinvestment dates during the period less 
the maximum sales load charged upon reinvestment and less all recurring fees. 
 The average annual total return is derived from this total return, which 
provides the ending redeemable value.  The Fund may also quote a Portfolio's 
total return for present shareholders that eliminates the sales charge on the 
initial investment.



	Each Portfolio's average annual total return with respect to its Class A 
Shares for the one-year period, five-year period, if any, and for the life of 
the Portfolio (except for the Equity
 Income  Portfolio, Income Return Account Portfolio
 and U.S. Government Securities Portfolio which displays performance 
data for ten years) ended December 31, 1995 is as follows:

   
		One Year	Five Years	Life	Inception Date

Equity Income 	26.40%		13.82%		11.59%*1/1/72

Income Return	6.27		5.88		6.92*	3/4/85	

U.S. Government	11.28		7.71		8.53*	10/9/84

Short-Term U.S.	13.16		N/A		6.26	11/11/91



                     
* Representative of ten years, not life of the Equity Income Portfolio, the 
Income Return Portfolio and the U.S. Government Securities Portfolio.

Each Portfolio's average annual total return with respect to its Class B 
Shares (where applicable) for the 
one-year period and for 
life of such Portfolio's Class B shares 
through December 31, 1995 is as follows: 

Portfolio 	One Year	Life	Inception Date

Equity Income	27.07%		22.62%	11/7/94
			
U.S. Gov't	11.53		12.43	11/7/94


Each Portfolio's average annual total return with respect to its Class C 
Shares (where applicable) for the one-year period 
and life of such Portfolio's 
Class C shares through December 31, 1995 is as follows: 

Portfolio		One Year	Life	Inception Date	

Equity Income 	31.01%		13.01%	12/2/92

Income Return	7.06		4.50	12/16/92

U.S. Government	14.93		6.47	12/2/92	




Each Portfolio's average annual total return with respect to its Class Y 
Shares (where applicable) for the 
one-year period and for the
life of such Portfolio's Class Y shares 
through December 31, 1995 is as follows: 

Portfolio		One Year	Life	Inception Date	

Income Return	8.43%		4.59%	2/1/93		

U.S. Government	16.88	6	.78	1/12/93		




Each Portfolio's average annual total return with respect to its Class Z 
Shares (where applicable) for the life of such Portfolio's Class Z shares 
through December 31, 1995 is as follows: 

Portfolio		One Year	Life	Inception Date	

Income Return	8.43%		7.75%	11/7/94		

U.S. Government	16.89		16.67	11/7/94		

Equity Income 	33.41		27.72	11/7/94		

    

	  Note that effective October 10, 1994 Class C shares were reclassified as 
additional Class A shares with respect to the Equity Income Portfolio and that 
effective November 7, 1994 Class C shares were redesignated Class Y shares 
with respect to the U.S. Government Securities Portfolio and the Income Return 
Account Portfolio. Note further that effective November 7, 1994 then existing 
Class B shares of each Portfolio were designated as Class C shares. Each 
Portfolio (except the Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities Portfolio) began to 
offer new Class B shares on November 7, 1994.

	Each Portfolio's yield is computed by dividing the net investment income 
per share earned during a specified thirty day period by the maximum offering 
price per share on the last day of such period and annualyzing the result.  
For purposes of the yield calculation, interest income is determined based on 
a yield to maturity percentage for each long-term debt obligation in the 
Portfolio; income on short-term obligations is based on current payment rate.

	The Fund calculates current dividend return for the U.S. Government 
Securities Portfolio by analyzing the most recent quarterly distribution from 
investment income, including net equalization credits or debits, and dividing 
by the net asset value or the maximum public offering price (including sales 
charge) on the last day of the period for which current dividend return is 
presented.  The Fund calculates current dividend return for the Equity Income 
Portfolio by dividing the dividends from investment income declared during the 
most recent twelve months by the net asset value or the maximum public 
offering price (including sales charge) on the last day of the period for 
which current dividend return is presented. The Fund calculates current 
dividend return for the Income Return Account Portfolio and the Short-Term 
U.S. Treasury Securities Portfolio by analyzing the most recent monthly 
distribution, including net equalization credits and debits, and dividing by 
the net asset value or the maximum public offering price (including sales 
charge) on the last day of the period for which current dividend return is 
presented.  From time to time, the Fund may include a Portfolio's current 
dividend return in information furnished to present or prospective 
shareholders and in advertisements.

	A Portfolio's current dividend return may vary from time to time depending 
on market conditions, the composition of its investment portfolio and 
operating expenses.  These factors and possible differences in the methods 
used in calculating current dividend return should be considered when 
comparing the Portfolio's current dividend return to yields published for 
other investment companies in other investment vehicles.  Current dividends 
return should also be considered relative to changes in the value of the 
Portfolio's shares and to the risks associated with the Portfolio's investment 
objective and policies.  For example, in comparing current dividend returns 
with those offered by Certificates of Deposit ("CDs"), it should be noted that 
CDs are insured (up to $100,000) and offer a fixed rate of return.  Returns of 
the Income Return Account Portfolio and the Short-Term U.S. Treasury 
Securities Portfolio may from time to time be compared with returns of money 
market funds measured by Donoghue's Money Fund Report, a widely-distributed 
publication on money market funds.

	Performance information may be useful in evaluating a Portfolio and for 
providing a basis for comparison with other financial alternatives.  Since the 
performance of each Portfolio changes in response to fluctuations in market 
conditions, interest rates and Portfolio expenses, no performance quotation 
should be considered a representation as to the Portfolio's performance for 
any future period.



	VALUATION OF SHARES

	The net asset value of each Portfolio's Classes of shares will be 
determined on any day that the New York Stock Exchange is open.  The New York 
Stock Exchange is closed on the following holidays:  New Year's Day, 
President's Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, 
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.


	PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES

	The Fund has committed itself to pay in cash all requests for redemption 
by any shareholder of record limited in amount during any 90-day period to the 
lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net asset value of the Fund at the beginning 
of such period.  Such commitment is irrevocable without the prior approval of 
the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Redemptions in excess of the above 
limit may be paid in portfolio securities, in cash or any combination or both, 
as the Board of Directors may deem advisable; however, payments shall be made 
wholly in cash unless the Board of Directors believes that economic conditions 
exist that would make such a practice detrimental to the best interests of the 
Fund and its remaining shareholders.  If a redemption is paid in portfolio 
securities, such securities will be valued in accordance with the procedures 
described under "Valuation of Shares" in the Prospectus and a shareholder 
would incur brokerage expenses if these securities were then converted to 
cash.




	INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND OTHER SERVICES

Manager

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995, the management 
fees for each Portfolio were as follows:  
   
Portfolio		1993		1994		1995	

U.S. Gov't	$2,178,838	$1,987,629	$1,869,768
Income Return	257,413		208,151		125,055	    
Equity Income	 3,654,378	4,079,437	4,093,396
Short-Term U.S.	   808,698	735,555		403,161
    

	Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the management fee for the Equity 
Income Portfolio is calculated at a rate in accordance with the following 
schedule: 0.60% of the first $500 million of average daily net assets; 0.55% 
of the next $500 million; and 0.50% of average daily net assets over $1 
billion.  The management fee for the U.S. Government Securities Portfolio and 
the Income Return Account Portfolio is calculated at a rate in accordance with 
the following schedule: 0.50% of the first $200 million of aggregate average 
daily net assets of the two Portfolios, and 0.40% of the aggregate average 
daily net assets of the three Portfolios in excess of $200 million.  The 
management fee for the Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities Portfolio is 
calculated at the annual rate of 0.45% of such Portfolios average daily net 
assets.  

	The Management Agreement for each of the Fund's Portfolios further 
provides that all other expenses not specifically assumed by the Manager under 
the Management Agreement on behalf of the Portfolio are borne by the Fund.  
Expenses payable by the Fund include, but are not limited to, all charges of 
custodians (including sums as custodian and sums for keeping books and for 
rendering other services to the Fund) and shareholder servicing agents, 
expenses of preparing, printing and distributing all prospectuses, proxy 
material, reports and notices to shareholders, all expenses of shareholders' 
and directors' meetings. filing fees and expenses relating to the registration 
and qualification of the Fund's shares and the Fund under Federal or state 
securities laws and maintaining such registrations and qualifications 
(including the printing of the Fund's registration statements), fees of 
auditors and legal counsel, costs of performing portfolio valuations, out-of-
pocket expenses of directors and fees of directors who are not "interested 
persons" as defined in the Act, interest, taxes and governmental fees, fees 
and commissions of every kind, expenses of issue, repurchase or redemption of 
shares, insurance expense, association membership dues, all other costs 
incident to the Fund's existence and extraordinary expenses such as litigation 
and indemnification expenses.  Direct expenses are charged to each Portfolio; 
general corporate expenses are allocated on the basis of relative net assets.


Plan of Distribution

	Pursuant to a Plan of Distribution adopted by the Fund on behalf of each 
Portfolio under Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 
"Plan"), Smith Barney incurs the expenses of distributing each Portfolio's 
Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares.  See  "Distributor" in each 
Portfolio's applicable Prospectus. 
	
	For the year ended December 31, 1995, the table below represents the fees 
which have been accrued and/or paid to Smith Barney  under the Plans of 
Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 for the Fund's Portfolios. The 
distribution expenses for 1995 included compensation of Financial Consultants 
and printing costs of prospectuses and marketing materials.  
   
Portfolio		Class A		Class B	Class C		Class Y		Total

U.S. Gov't	$914,410	$45,752	$152,207	$N/A		$1,112,369
Income Return	N/A		N/A	9,541		N/A		         9,541
Equity Income	1,442,402	23,501	275,007		N/A		  1,740,910
Short-Term Treas.313,569	N/A	N/A		N/A		     313,569

	During the fiscal years 1993 and 1994 aggregate sales commissions of 
$8,756,000 and $1,992,000 respectively, were paid to Smith Barney  by the 
purchasers of Fund shares.  For the fiscal year 1995, aggregate sales 
commissions of approximately $364,000 were paid to Smith Barney  by the 
purchasers of Fund shares.  A contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") may be 
imposed on certain redemptions of Class A, Class B shares and Class C shares. 
The amount of the CDSC will depend on the number of years since the 
shareholder made the purchase payment from which the amount is being redeemed. 
For Class B shares, for the Equity Income Portfolio the maximum CDSC is 5.00% 
of redemption proceeds, declining by 1.00% each year after the date of 
purchase to zero. For Class B shares of each of the U.S. Government Securities 
Portfolio the maximum CDSC is 4.50% of redemption proceeds, declining by 0.50% 
the first year after purchase and by 1.00% each year thereafter to zero. A 
CDSC of 1.00% is imposed on redemptions of Class A which when combined with 
Class A shares offered with a sales charge currently held by an investor equal 
or exceed $500,000 in the aggregate and Class C shares  if such redemptions 
occur within 12 months from the date such investment was made.  Any sales 
charge imposed on redemptions is paid to the distributor of the Fund shares.  
    
	  Note that effective October 10, 1994 Class C shares were reclassified as 
additional Class A shares with respect to the Equity Income Portfolio and that 
effective November 7, 1994 Class C shares were redesignated Class Y shares 
with respect to the U.S. Government Securities Portfolio and the Income Return 
Account Portfolio. Note further that effective November 7, 1994 Class B shares 
of each Portfolio were designated as Class C shares.

Each Portfolio (except the Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities Portfolio) 
began to offer new Class B shares on November 7, 1994.




Brokerage

	The Manager is responsible for allocating the Fund's brokerage.  Orders 
may be directed to any broker including, to the extent and in the manner 
permitted by applicable law, Smith Barney.  Smith Barney has acted as the 
Fund's principal broker on behalf of the Equity Income Portfolio  (no 
commissionable transactions have been paid to date on behalf of the U.S. 
Government Securities Portfolio or the Income Return Account Portfolio, or the 
Short-Term U.S. Treasury Securities Portfolio) and has received a substantial 
portion of brokerage fees paid by such Portfolios.  No Portfolio will deal 
with Smith Barney in any transaction in which Smith Barney acts as principal.

	The Fund attempts to obtain the most favorable execution of each portfolio 
transaction, that is, the best combination of net price and price and prompt 
reliable execution.  In the opinion of the Manager or the Subadviser, as the 
case may be, however, it is not possible to determine in advance that any 
particular broker will actually be able to effect the most favorable execution 
because, in the context of a constantly changing market, order execution 
involves judgments as to price, commission rates, volume, the direction of the 
market and the likelihood of future change.  In making its decision as to 
which broker or brokers are most likely to provide the most favorable 
execution, the management of the Fund takes into account the relevant 
circumstances.  These include, in varying degrees, the size of the order, the 
importance of prompt execution, the breadth and trends of the market in the 
particular security, anticipated commission rates, the broker's familiarity 
with such security including its contacts with possible buyers and sellers and 
its level of activity in the security, the possibility of a block transaction 
and the general record of the broker for prompt, competent and reliable 
service in all aspects of order processing, execution and settlement.


	Commissions are negotiated and take into account the difficulty involved 
in execution of a transaction, the time it took to conclude, the extent of the 
broker's commitment of its own capital, if any, and the price received.  
Anticipated commission rates are an important consideration in all trades and 
are weighed along with the other relevant factors affecting order execution 
set forth above.  In allocating brokerage among those brokers who are believed 
to be capable of providing equally favorable execution, the Fund takes into 
consideration the fact that a particular broker may, in addition to execution 
capability, provide other services to the Fund such as research and 
statistical information.  It is not possible to place a dollar value on such 
services nor does their availability reduce the expenses of the Manager, the 
Subadviser or Smith Barney in connection with services rendered to other 
advisory clients and not all such services may be used in connection with the 
Fund.
   
	Shown below are the total brokerage fees paid by the Fund on behalf of the 
Equity Income  Portfolio during 1993, 1994 and 1995 (the fees for 1993 and 
1994 include fees on behalf of the Utility Portfolio which has been merged 
into the Smith Barney Utilities Fund). Also shown is the portion paid to Smith 
Barney and the portion paid to other brokers for the execution of orders 
allocated in consideration of research and statistical services or solely for 
their ability to execute the order.  During fiscal year 1995, the total amount 
of commissionable transactions was $667,359,552; $247,133,082 (37.0%) of which 
was directed to Smith Barney and executed by unaffiliated brokers and 
$420,226,470 (63.0%) of which was directed to other brokers.

	The Board of Directors of the Fund has adopted certain policies and 
procedures incorporating the standards of Rule 17e-1 issued by the Securities 
and Exchange Commission under the Act which requires that the commissions paid 
to Smith Barney must be "reasonable and fair compared to the commission, fee 
or other remuneration received or to be received by other brokers in 
connection with comparable transactions involving similar securities during a 
comparable period of time."  The Rule and the policy and procedures also 
contain review requirements and require the Manager to furnish reports to the 
Board of Directors and to maintain records in connection with such reviews.


	CUSTODIAN

	Portfolio securities and cash owned by the Fund are held in the custody of 
PNC Bank, National Association, 17th and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia, 
Pennsylvania  19103 (foreign securities, if any, will be held in the custody 
of the Barclays Bank, PLC)

	In the event of the liquidation or dissolution of the Fund, shares of a 
Portfolio are entitled to receive the assets belonging to that Portfolio that 
are available for distribution and a proportionate distribution, based upon 
the relative net assets of the respective Portfolios, of any general assets 
not belonging to any particular Portfolio that are available for distribution.



	INDEPENDENT  AUDITORS

	KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, 345 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10154, has been 
selected as the Fund's independent auditors for its fiscal year ending 
December 31, 1996 to exammine and report on the Fund's financial statements 
and highlights.


	VOTING

	As permitted by Maryland law, there will normally be no meetings 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.  At that time, the directors then in office will call a 
shareholders' meeting for the election of directors.  The directors must call 
a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the question or 
removal of any director when requested in writing to do so by the record 
holders of not less than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.  At such a 
meeting, a director may be removed after the holders of record of not less 
than a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund have declared that the 
director be removed either by declaration in writing or by votes cast in 
person or by proxy.  Except as set forth above, the directors shall continue 
to hold office and may appoint successor directors.
   
	As used in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information, a 
"vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" means the 
affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) more than 50% of the outstanding shares 
of the Fund (or the affected Portfolio or class) or (b) 67% or more of such 
shares present at a meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the 
Fund (or the affected Portfolio or class) are represented at the meeting in 
person or by proxy.  A Portfolio or class shall be deemed to be affected by a 
matter unless it is clear that the interests of each Portfolio or class in the 
matter are identical or that the matter does not affect any interest of the 
Portfolio or class.  Under the Rule the approval of a management agreement or 
any change in a fundamental investment policy would be effectively acted upon 
with respect to a Portfolio only if approved by a "vote of a majority of the 
outstanding voting securities" of the Portfolio affected by the matter; 
however, the ratification of independent accountants, the election of 
directors, and the approval of a distribution agreement that is submitted to 
shareholders are not subject to the separate voting requirements and may be 
effectively acted upon by a vote of the holders of a majority of all Fund 
shares voting without regard to Portfolio.  As of March 15, 1996, the Smith 
Barney 401(k) Employee Savings Plan, 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York,

	APPENDIX - RATINGS OR DEBT OBLIGATIONS

BOND (AND NOTES) RATINGS

Moody's Investors Service, Inc.

	Aaa - Bonds that are rated "Aaa" are judged to be of the best quality.  
They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred 
to as "gilt edged."  Interest payments are protected by a large or by an 
exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure.  While the various 
protective elements are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized 
are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.

	Aa - Bonds that are rated "Aa" are judged to be of high quality by all 
standards.  Together with the "Aaa" group they comprise what are generally 
known as high grade bonds.  They are  rated lower than the best bonds because 
margins of protection may not be as large as in "Aaa" securities or 
fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be 
other elements present that make the long term risks appear somewhat larger 
than in "Aaa" securities.

	A - Bonds that are rated "A" possess many favorable investment attributes 
and are to be considered as upper medium grade obligations.  Factors giving 
security to principal and interest are considered adequate by elements may be 
present that suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

	Baa - Bonds that are rated "Baa" are considered as medium grade 
obligations, i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured.  
Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the present but 
certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically 
unreliable over any great length of time.  Such bonds lack outstanding 
investment characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as 
well.

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

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

	Caa - Bonds which are rated Caa are of poor standing.  Such issues may be 
in default or there may be present elements of danger with respect to 
principal or interest.

	Ca - Bonds which are rated Ca represent obligations which are speculative 
in a high degree.  Such issues are often in default or have other marked 
shortcomings.

	C - Bonds which are rated C are the lowest class of bonds and issues so 
rated can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any 
real investment standing.

	Con (..) - Bonds for which the security depends upon the completion of 
some act or the fulfillment of some condition are rated conditionally.  These 
are bonds secured by (a) earnings of projects under construction, (b) earnings 
of projects unseasoned in operating experience, (c) rentals which begin when 
facilities are completed, or (d) payments to which some other limiting 
condition attaches.  Parenthetical rating denotes probable credit stature upon 
completion of construction or elimination of basis of condition.

	Note: The modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks in the higher end 
of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; 
and the modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of its 
generic rating category.


Standard & Poor's Corporation

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

	AA - Debt rated "AA" has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay 
principal and differs from the highest rated issues only in small degree.

	A- Debt rated "A" has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay 
principal although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of 
changes in circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher rated 
categories.

	BBB - Debt rated "BBB" is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay 
interest and repay principal.  Whereas it normally exhibits adequate 
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances 
are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay 
principal for debt in this category than in higher rated categories.

	BB, B, CCC, CC, C - Debt rated 'BB', 'B', 'CCC', 'CC' and 'C' is regarded, 
on balance, as predominantly speculative with respect to capacity to pay 
interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation.  
'BB' indicates the lowest degree of speculation and 'C' the highest degree of 
speculation.  While  such debt will likely have some quality and protective 
characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk 
exposures to adverse conditions.

	Plus (+) or Minus (-):  The ratings from 'AA' to 'B' may be modified by 
the addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the 
major rating categories.

	Provisional Ratings:  The letter "p" indicates that the rating is 
provisional.  A provisional rating assumes the successful completion of the 
project being financed by the debt being rated and indicates that payment of 
debt service requirements is largely or entirely dependent upon the successful 
and timely completion of the project.  This rating, however, while addressing 
credit quality subsequent to completion of the project, makes no comment on 
the likelihood of, or the risk of default upon failure of, such completion.  
The investor should exercise judgment with respect to such likelihood and 
risk.

	L The letter "L" indicates that the rating pertains to the principal 
amount of those bonds where the underlying deposit collateral is fully insured 
by the Federal Savings & Loan Insurance Corp. or the Federal Deposit Insurance 
Corp.

	 Continuance of the rating is contingent upon S&P's receipt of closing 
documentation confirming investments and cash flow.

	* Continuance of the rating is contingent upon S&P's receipt of an 
executed copy of the escrow agreement.

	NR  Indicates no rating has been requested, that there is insufficient 
information on which to base a rating, or that S&P does not rate a particular 
type of obligation as a matter of policy.



COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS

Moody's Investors Service, Inc.

	Issuers rated "Prime-1" (or related supporting institutions) have a 
superior capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations.  Prime-1 
repayment will normally be evidenced by the following characteristics:  
leading market positions in well-established  industries; high rates of return 
on funds employed; conservative capitalization structures with moderate 
reliance on debt and ample asset protection; broad margins in earnings 
coverage of fixed financial changes and high internal cash generation; well-
established access to a range of financial markets and assured sources of 
alternate liquidity.

	Issuers rated "Prime-2" (or related supporting institutions) have strong 
capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations.  This will 
normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a 
lesser degree.  Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, will be more 
subject to variation.  Capitalization characteristics, while still 
appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions.  Ample alternate 
liquidity is maintained.


Standard & Poor's Corporation

	A-1 - This designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding 
timely payment is either overwhelming or very strong.  Those issuers 
determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics will be denoted with 
a plus (+) sign designation.

	A-2 - Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is 
strong.  However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues 
designated A-1.

communicated by an Authorized Person and will not be held to have any notice   
of  any change of authority of any person until receipt of a Written 
Instruction thereof  from the Fund pursuant to Section 4(c).  The Transfer 
Agent will also have no   
liability when processing Share certificates which it reasonably believes to   
bear  the proper manual or facsimile signatures of the officers of the Fund 
and the proper countersignature of the Transfer Agent.   
  
		(b)  At any time, the Transfer Agent may apply to any Authorized   
Person of the Fund for Written Instructions and may seek advice from legal   
counsel for the Fund, or its own legal counsel, with respect to any matter   
arising  in connection with this Agreement, and it shall not be liable for any
action taken  or not taken or suffered by it in good faith in accordance 
with such Written Instructions or in accordance with the opinion of counsel
for the Fund or for the  Transfer Agent.  Written Instructions requested by
the Transfer Agent will be provided by the Fund within a reasonable period of
time.  In addition, the Transfer Agent, its officers, agents or employees, 
shall accept Oral Instructions or   
Written Instructions given to them by any person representing or acting on 
behalf of the  Fund only if said representative is an Authorized Person. 
The Fund agrees   
that all Oral Instructions shall be followed within one business day by 
confirming Written Instructions, and that the Fund's failure to so confirm 
shall not impair in any  respect the Transfer Agent's right to rely on Oral 
Instructions.  The Transfer   
Agent shall have no duty or obligation to inquire into, nor shall the Transfer 
Agent be responsible for, the legality of any act done by it upon the request
or direction of a person reasonably believed by the Transfer Agent to be an 
Authorized Person.   
  
		(c)  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this   
Agreement, the Transfer Agent shall be under no duty or obligation to inquire   
into, and shall not be liable for:  (i) the legality of the issuance or sale   
of any  Shares or the sufficiency of the amount to be received therefor; 
(ii) the legality of the redemption of any Shares, or the propriety of the 
amount to be paid therefor; (iii) the legality of the declaration of any 
dividend by the Board of Directors, or the legality of the issuance of any 
Shares in payment of any dividend; or (iv)   
the  legality of any recapitalization or readjustment of the Shares.   
  
	12.  Acts of God, etc.  The Transfer Agent will not be liable or   
responsible for delays or errors by acts of God or by reason of circumstances 
beyond its control, including acts of civil or military authority, national 
emergencies, labor  difficulties, mechanical breakdown, insurrection, war, 
riots, or failure or unavailability of transportation, communication or 
power supply, fire, flood or  other catastrophe.   
  
	13.  Duty of Care and Indemnification.  Each party hereto (the   
"Indemnifying Party') will indemnify the other party 
(the "Indemnified Party") against and hold it harmless from any and all 
losses, claims, damages,   
liabilities or expenses of any sort or kind (including reasonable counsel 
fees and expenses) resulting from any claim, demand, action or suit or other
proceeding (a "Claim")  unless such Claim has resulted from a negligent 
failure to act or omission to act or  bad faith of the Indemnified Party in 
the performance of its duties hereunder.  In  addition, the Fund will 
indemnify the Transfer Agent against and hold it   
harmless from any Claim, damages, liabilities or expenses (including 
reasonable counsel fees) that is a result of: (i) any action taken in 
accordance with Written or Oral Instructions, or any other instructions, or
share certificates reasonably   
believed by the Transfer Agent to be genuine and to be signed, countersigned 
or executed, or  orally communicated by an Authorized Person; (ii) any 
action taken in accordance with written or oral advice reasonably believed 
by the Transfer Agent to have been given by counsel for the Fund or its own
counsel; or (iii) any action taken as a result of any error or omission in 
any record (including but not limited to   
magnetic tapes, computer printouts, hard copies and microfilm copies)   
delivered, or caused to be delivered by the Fund to the Transfer Agent in 
connection with this Agreement.   
  
	In any case in which the Indemnifying Party may be asked to indemnify or   
hold the Indemnified Party harmless, the Indemnifying Party shall be advised   
of  all pertinent facts concerning the situation in question.  The 
Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnifying Party promptly after 
identifying any situation which it believes presents or appears likely to 
present a claim for indemnification   
against the Indemnifying Party although the failure to do so shall not 
prevent recovery by the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnifying Party shall 
have the option to defend the Indemnified Party against any Claim which may
be the subject of this indemnification, and, in the event that the 
Indemnifying Party so elects, such   
defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party and   
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and thereupon the Indemnifying Party   
shall  take over complete defense of the Claim and the Indemnified Party 
shall sustain  no further legal or other expenses in respect of such Claim.
The Indemnified Party will not confess any Claim or make any compromise in 
any case in which the Indemnifying Party will be asked to provide 
indemnification, except with the  Indemnifying Party's prior written consent.
The obligations of the parties   
hereto under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.   
  
	14.  Consequential Damages.  In no event and under no circumstances   
shall either party under this Agreement be liable to the other party for   
indirect loss  of profits, reputation or business or any other special 
damages under any provision of this Agreement or for any act or failure to 
act hereunder.   
  
	15.  Term and Termination.    
  
		(a)  This Agreement shall be effective on the date first written   
above and shall continue until September 2, 1994, and thereafter shall   
automatically continue for successive annual periods ending on the 
anniversary of  the date first written above, provided that it may be 
terminated by either party upon written notice given at least 60 days prior
to termination.   
  
		(b)	In the event a termination notice is given by the Fund, it   
shall be accompanied by a resolution of the Board of Directors, certified by   
the  Secretary of the Fund, designating a successor transfer agent or 
transfer agents.  Upon such termination and at the expense of the Fund, the
Transfer Agent will deliver to such successor a certified list of 
shareholders of the Fund (with names and addresses), and all other relevant
books, records, correspondence and   
other Fund records or data in the possession of the Transfer Agent, and the 
Transfer Agent will cooperate with the Fund and any successor transfer 
agent or agents in  the substitution process.   
  
	16.  Confidentiality.  Both parties hereto agree that any non public   
information obtained hereunder concerning the other party is confidential and   
may  not be disclosed to any other person without the consent of the other 
party, except as may be required by applicable law or at the request of the 
Commission or other  governmental agency.  The parties further agree that a 
breach of this provision would irreparably damage the other party and 
accordingly agree that each of   
them  is entitled, without bond or other security, to an injunction or 
injunctions to prevent breaches of this provision.

written instrument executed by both parties.

agent  shall not be required to issue any Shares of the Fund where it has 
received a Written Instruction from the Fund or official notice from any 
appropriate authority that the sale of the Shares of the Fund has been 
suspended or discontinued.  The existence of such Written Instructions or 
such official notice  shall be conclusive evidence of the right of the 
Transfer Agent or its agent   
to rely on such Written Instructions or official notice.    
		(b)  Returned Checks.  In the event that any check or other order   
for the payment of money is returned unpaid for any reason, the Transfer

upon receipt of Oral or Written Instructions or otherwise pursuant to the   
Prospectus and Share certificates, if any, properly endorsed for transfer or   
redemption, accompanied by such documents as the Transfer Agent or its agent   
reasonably may deem necessary.   
   
		The Transfer Agent or its agent reserves the right to refuse to   
transfer or repurchase Shares until it is satisfied that the endorsement on   
the instructions is valid and genuine.  The Transfer Agent or its agent also   
reserves the right to refuse to transfer or repurchase Shares until it is 
satisfied that the requested transfer or repurchase is legally authorized, 
and it shall incur no liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make 
transfers or repurchases which the TransferAgent or its agent, in   
C-3  
  
  
its good judgement, deems improper or unauthorized, or until it is reasonably   
satisfied that there is no basis to any claims adverse   
to such transfer or repurchase.   
   
		(b)  Notice to Custodian and Fund.  When Shares are redeemed, the   
Transfer Agent or its agent shall, upon receipt of the instructions and   
documents in proper form, deliver to the Custodian and the Fund or its 
designee a notification setting forth the number of Shares to be repurchased. 
Such repurchased shares shall be reflected on appropriate accounts maintained
by the Transfer Agent or its agent reflecting outstanding Shares of the Fund
and Shares attributed to individual accounts.

Fund  with respect to Shares of the Fund, the Fund shall furnish or cause to 
be  furnished  to the Transfer Agent or its agent a copy of a resolution of
the Fund's Board of  Directors certified by the Secretary of the Fund setting
forth the date of the declaration of such dividend or distribution, the 
ex-dividend date, the date of  payment thereof, the record date as of which 
shareholders entitled to payment   
shall be determined, the amount payable per Share to the shareholders of   
record as of that date, the total amount payable to the Transfer Agent or its 
agent on the payment date and whether such dividend or distribution is to be
paid in Shares of  such class at net asset value.   
   
		On or before the payment date specified in such resolution of the   
Board of Directors, the Custodian of the Fund will pay to the Transfer Agent   
sufficient cash to make payment to the shareholders of record as of such   
payment  date.   
   
		(b)	Insufficient Funds for Payments.  If the Transfer Agent or   
its agent does not receive sufficient cash from the Custodian to make total   
dividend and/or distribution payments to all shareholders of the Fund as of   
the record date, the Transfer   
C-4  
  
  
Agent or its agent will, upon notifying the Fund, withhold payment to all   
Shareholders of record as of the record date until sufficient cash is 
provided to the Transfer Agent or its agent.
