FUND GOAL AND STRATEGIES

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Current income and long-term growth of income and capital.

KEY INVESTMENTS
The fund invests primarily in common stocks of U.S. companies having market
capitalizations of at least $5 billion at the time of investment.

SELECTION PROCESS

The manager employs a two-step stock selection process in its search for
undervalued stocks of established, well recognized but temporarily out of favor
companies.  First, the manager uses proprietary models and fundamental research
to try to identify stocks that are underpriced in the market relative to their
fundamental value.  Next, the manager looks for a positive catalyst in the
company's near term outlook which the manager believes will accelerate earnings.
In selecting individual companies for investment, the manager looks for:

 .    Low market valuations measured by the manager's valuation models
 .    Above average dividend yields and established dividend records
 .    Positive changes in earnings prospects because of factors such as:

     -    New management
     -    Effective research, product development and marketing
     -    A business strategy not yet recognized by the marketplace
     -    Regulatory changes favoring the company

 .    High return on invested capital and strong cash flow
 .    Liquidity

RISKS, PERFORMANCE AND EXPENSES

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND

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

 .    The U.S. stock market goes down.

 .    Value stocks or larger capitalization stocks are temporarily out of favor.

 .    The manager's judgment about the attractiveness, value or potential
     appreciation of a particular stock provides to be incorrect.

 .    An adverse event, such as negative press reports about a company in the
     fund, depresses the value of the company's stock.

WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
The fund may be an appropriate investment if you:

 .    Are seeking to participate in the long-term growth potential of the U.S.
     stock market

 .    Are looking for an investment with potentially greater return but higher
     risk than fixed income investments

 .    Are willing to accept the risks of the stock market

TOTAL RETURN

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

                           [BAR CHART APPEARS HERE]

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

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

COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE
This table indicates the risks of investing in the fund by comparing the average
annual total return of each class for  the periods shown with that of the
Russell 1000 Large Cap Value Index, a broad-based unmanaged index of those
companies from among the 1000 largest publicly held companies which exhibit
above average value characteristics (the "Russell Index"), and the Lipper Large
Cap Value Fund Average (the "Lipper Funds Average"), an average composed of the
fund's peer group of mutual funds.  This table assumes imposition of the maximum
sales charge applicable to the class, redemption of shares at the end of the
period, and reinvestment of distributions and dividends.

MORE ON THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS

OTHER INVESTMENTS. While the fund intends to be substantially fully invested in
equity securities, the fund may maintain a portion of its assets in equity
securities of companies with total market capitalizations below $5 billion and
in money market instruments and/or cash to pay expenses and meet redemption
requests. Generally, the value of these fixed income obligations will go down if
interest rates go up, the issuer of the security has its credit rating
downgraded or the issuer defaults on its obligation to pay principal or
interest. The fund may also invest up to 10% of its net assets in American
Depositary Receipts (ADRs) which are U.S. dollar denominated securities
representing an interest in foreign securities. The fund's investments in ADRs
involve greater risk than investments in securities of U.S. issuers.

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

MANAGEMENT

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

Ellen Cardozo Sonsino, investment officer of SSBC Fund Management Inc.. and
managing director of Salomon Smith Barney, has been responsible for the day to
day management of the fund since March 1998. Ms. Sonsino has 21 years of
investment management experience.

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

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

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

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

CHOOSING A CLASS OF SHARES TO BUY

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

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

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

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

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

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

SALES CHARGE:  CLASS A SHARES

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

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

QUALIFYING FOR A REDUCED CLASS A SALES CHARGE. There are several ways you can

owned

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

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

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

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

 .    Employees of members of the NASD

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

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

days, if the investor's Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or dealer
representative is notified

Consultant or dealer representative or consult the Statement of Additional
Information ("SAI").

MORE ABOUT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES

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

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

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

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

Salomon Smith Barney receives deferred sales charges as partial compensation for
its expenses in selling shares, including the payment of compensation to your
Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or dealer representative.
                                        
Deferred sales charge waivers
                                        
The deferred sales charge for each share class will generally be waived:

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

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

OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT SHARE TRANSACTIONS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 .  Changed your account registration

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

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

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

The fund has the right to:

 .  Suspend the offering of shares

 .  Waive or change minimum and additional investment amounts

 .  Reject any purchase or exchange order

 .  Change, revoke or suspend the exchange privilege

 .  Suspend telephone transactions

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

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

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

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

Long-term capital gain distributions         Long-term capital gain

Short-term capital gain distributions        Ordinary income

Dividends                                    Ordinary income
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

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

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

SHARE PRICE

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

The fund generally values its fund securities based on market prices or
quotations.  When reliable market prices are not readily available, the fund may
price those securities at fair value.  Fair value is determined in accordance
with procedures approved by the fund's board.  A fund that uses fair value to
price securities may value those securities higher or lower than another fund
using market quotations to price the same securities.

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

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

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

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

FUND GOAL AND STRATEGIES

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Current income and long-term growth of income and capital.

KEY INVESTMENTS
The fund invests primarily in common stocks of U.S. companies having market
capitalizations of at least $5 billion at the time of investment.

SELECTION PROCESS
The manager employs a two-step stock selection process in its search for
undervalued stocks of established, well recognized but temporarily out of favor
companies. First, the manager uses proprietary models and fundamental research
to try to identify stocks that are underpriced in the market relative to their
fundamental value. Next, the manager looks for a positive catalyst in the
company's near term outlook which the manager believes will accelerate earnings.
In selecting individual companies for investment, the manager looks for:

 .    Low market valuations measured by the manager's valuation models
 .    Above average dividend yields and established dividend records
 .    Positive changes in earnings prospects because of factors such as:

     -    New management
     -    Effective research, product development and marketing
     -    A business strategy not yet recognized by the marketplace
     -    Regulatory changes favoring the company

 .    High return on invested capital and strong cash flow.
 .    Liquidity

RISKS, PERFORMANCE AND EXPENSES

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

 .    The U.S. stock market goes down.

 .    Value stocks or larger capitalization stocks are temporarily out of favor.

 .    The manager's judgment about the attractiveness, value or potential
     appreciation of a particular stock provides to be incorrect.

 .    An adverse event, such as negative press reports about a company in the
     fund, depresses the value of the company's stock.

WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
The fund may be an appropriate investment if you:

 .    Are seeking to participate in the long-term growth potential of the U.S.
     stock market

 .    Are looking for an investment with potentially greater return but higher
     risk than fixed income investments

 .    Are willing to accept the risks of the stock market

  MORE ON THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS

OTHER INVESTMENTS.  While the fund intends to be substantially fully invested in
equity securities, the fund may maintain a portion of its assets in equity
securities of companies with total market capitalizations below $5 billion and
in money market instruments and/or cash to pay expenses and meet redemption
requests. Generally, the value of these fixed income obligations will go down if
interest rates go up, the issuer of the security has its credit rating
downgraded or the issuer defaults on its obligation to pay principal or
interest. The fund may also invest up to 10% of its net assets in American
Depositary Receipts (ADRs) which are U.S. dollar denominated securities
representing an interest in foreign securities. The fund's investments in ADRs
involve greater risk than investments in securities of U.S. issuers.

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

MANAGEMENT


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

Ellen Cardozo Sonsino, investment officer of SSBC Fund Management Inc. and
managing director of Salomon Smith Barney, has been responsible for the day to
day management of the fund since March 1998. Ms. Sonsino has 21 years of
investment management experience.

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

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

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

BUYING, SELLING AND EXCHANGING CLASS Z SHARES

 
Through a         You may buy, sell or exchange Class Z shares only through a
qualified plan    "qualified plan." A qualified plan is a tax-exempt employee
                  benefit or retirement plan of Salomon Smith Barney, Inc. or
                  one of its affiliates.
 
                  There are no minimum investment requirements for Class Z
                  shares. However, the fund reserves the right to change this
                  policy at any time.
 
Buying            Orders to buy Class Z shares must be made in accordance with
                  the terms of a qualified plan. If you are a participant in a
                  qualified plan, you may place an order with your plan to buy
                  Class Z shares at net asset value, without any sales charge.
                  Payment is due to Salomon Smith Barney on settlement date,
                  which is the third business day after your order is accepted.
                  If you make payment prior to this date, you may designate a
                  temporary investment (such as a money market fund of the Smith
                  Barney Mutual Funds) for payment until settlement date. The
                  fund reserves the right to reject any order to buy shares and
                  to suspend the offering of shares for a period of time.
 
Selling           Qualified plans may redeem their shares on any day on which
                  the fund calculates its net asset value. You should consult
                  the terms of your qualified plan for special redemption
                  provisions.
 
 
Exchanging        You should should consult your qualified plan for information
                  about available exchange options.

 SHARE PRICE

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

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

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

Your qualified plan must transmit all orders to buy, exchange or redeem shares
to the fund's agent before the agent's close of business.

  DISTRIBUTIONS, DIVIDENDS AND TAXES

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

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

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

Because each shareholder's circumstances are different and special tax rules
 may
apply, you should consult with your tax adviser about your investment in the
fund.

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

FUND GOAL AND STRATEGIES

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The fund seeks current income, preservation of capital and liquidity.

KEY INVESTMENTS
The fund invests primarily in "high grade" fixed income securities. These are
securities rated by a national ratings organization at the time of purchase
within one of the top three categories, or, if unrated, judged by the manager to
be of comparable credit quality. Securities in which the fund invests include
corporate debt securities, bank obligations and securities issued by the U.S.
government and its agencies and instrumentalities. The fund may also invest in
U.S. dollar denominated fixed income securities of foreign issuers. The fund
maintains an average dollar-weighted portfolio maturity of between one and four
years; the average duration of the fund's portfolio will normally be no greater
than 3.5 years.

SELECTION PROCESS
The manager focuses on minimizing fluctuations in the fund's net asset value by
identifying short-term fixed income securities which the manager believes are
undervalued and which offer better protection of capital given current interest
rate and market conditions. In selecting individual securities for investment,
the manager:

 .        Monitors the spreads between U.S. Treasury and government agency
         or instrumentality issuers and purchases agency and instrumentality
         issues that it believes will provide a yield advantage

 .        Determines sector and maturity weightings based on assessments of
         the economic environment and relative value factors based on interest
         rate outlook

 .        Measures the potential impact of supply/demand imbalances, yield curve
         shifts and changing prepayment patterns to identify individual
         securities that balance potential return and risk

 .        Uses research to uncover inefficient sectors of the government and
         mortgage markets and adjusts portfolio positions to take advantage of
         new information

RISKS, PERFORMANCE AND EXPENSES

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND
Investors could lose money on their investment in the fund, or the fund may not
perform as well as other investments, if:

 .        Interest rates increase, causing the prices of fixed income securities
         to decline which would reduce the value of the fund's portfolio. The
         fund has less sensitivity to changes in interest rates than a fund
         investing in securities with intermediate or long-term maturities

 .        Prepayment or call risk: As interest rates decline, the issuers of
         mortgage-related or callable securities held by the fund may pay
         principal earlier than scheduled or exercise a right to call the
         securities, forcing the fund to reinvest in lower yielding securities

 .        Extension risk: As interest rates increase, slower than expected
         principal payments may extend the average life of fixed income
         securities, locking in below-market interest rates and reducing the
         value of these securities

 .        The manager's judgment about interest rates or the attractiveness,
         value or income potential of a particular security proves incorrect

WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
The fund may be an appropriate investment if you:

 . Are seeking current income while minimizing fluctuations in the value of
your investment

 . Currently have exposure to stock markets and wish to diversify your investment
portfolio by adding an investment in investment grade fixed income securities

 . Are seeking a higher level of current income than typically offered by
money market funds

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

                           [BAR CHART APPEARS HERE]


The bar chart shows the performance of the fund's Class A shares for each of the
past 7 full calendar years. Class B, L and Y shares would have different
performance because of their different expenses. The performance information in
the chart does not reflect sales charges, which would reduce your return.

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

COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE
This table indicates the risks of investing in the fund by comparing the average
annual total return of each class for the periods shown with that of the Lehman
Brothers 3-year Treasury Index (the "Lehman Index"), a broad-based unmanaged
index of short-term U.S. Treasury securities and the Lipper [Short-Term
Investment Grade Bond Fund] Average (the "Lipper Average"), an average composed
of the fund's peer group of mutual funds. This table assumes imposition of the
maximum sales charge applicable to the class, redemption of shares at the end of
the period, and reinvestment of distributions and dividends.

MORE ON THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS

OTHER INVESTMENTS. Although the fund invests primarily in "high grade"
securities, it may also invest in other fixed income securities provided that
they are at least "investment grade" at the time of purchase. This means that
they are rated within the top four categories, or if unrated, are considered by
the manager to be of comparable quality.

DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS. The fund may, but need not, use derivative contracts, such
as futures and options on interest rates, and options on interest rate futures,
for any of the following purposes:

 . To hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes in the market value of
portfolio securities due to changes in interest rates 
 . As a substitute for buying or selling securities

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

YANKEE OBLIGATIONS. The fund may invest in Yankee obligations, including Yankee
obligations of foreign banks. Yankee obligations are U.S. dollar denominated
securities issued in the U.S. capital markets by foreign issuers. Yankee
obligations are subject to certain sovereign risks including the possibility
that a foreign government might prevent the U.S. dollars invested in the
security from flowing back across its borders. The price of Yankee obligations
may also go down because of political instability or the more limited
availability of accurate information about foreign companies.

RISK OF HIGH PORTFOLIO TURNOVER. The fund may engage in active and frequent
trading, resulting in high portfolio turnover. This may lead to the realization
and distribution to shareholders of higher capital gains, increasing their tax
liability. Frequent trading also increases transaction costs, which could
detract from the fund's performance.

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

MANAGEMENT

MANAGER. The fund's investment manager is SSBC Fund Management Inc., an
affiliate of Salomon Smith Barney Inc. The manager's address is 388 Greenwich
Street, New York, New York 10013. The manager selects the fund's investments and
oversees its operations. The manager and Salomon Smith Barney are subsidiaries
of Citigroup Inc. Citigroup businesses produce a broad range of financial
services -- asset management, banking and consumer finance, credit and charge
cards, insurance, investments, investment banking and trading -- and use diverse
channels to make them available to consumer and corporate customers around the
world. Among these businesses are Citibank, Commercial Credit, Primerica
Financial Services, Salomon Smith Barney, SSBC Asset Management, Travelers Life
& Annuity, and Travelers Property Casualty.

James E. Conroy, investment officer of Mutual Management Corp. and
managing director of Salomon Smith Barney, has been responsible for the day
to day management of the fund since January 1996.  Mr. Conroy has [   ] years
of investment management experience.

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

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

DISTRIBUTION PLAN. The fund has adopted a Rule 12b-1 distribution plan for its
Class A shares. Under the plan, Class A shares pay distribution and service
fees. The fees in Class A shares are an ongoing expense and, over time, it
increases the cost of your investment and may cost you more than other types of
sales charges.

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

EXCHANGING SHARES

Class A shares of the fund may be subject to a sales charge differential upon
the exchange of such shares for Class A shares of another Smith Barney Mutual
Fund sold with a sales charge. The sales charge differential is the sales charge
rate applicable to purchases of shares of the mutual fund being acquired in the
exchange. To the extent the fund shares relinquished in the exchange are
attributable to predecessor shares for which a sales charge was paid, the sales
charge differential does not apply. 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 in which the dividends or distributions were paid; however, except in
the case of the Smith Barney 401(k) and ExecChoiceTM Program, if no sales charge
was imposed upon the initial purchase of shares, any shares obtained through
automatic reinvestment will be subject to a sales charge differential upon
exchange

REDEEMING SHARES

Generally        Contact your Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or
                 dealer representative to redeem shares of the fund.

                 If you hold share certificates, the transfer agent must receive
                 the certificates endorsed for transfer or with signed stock
                 powers before the redemption is effective.

                 If the shares are held by a fiduciary or corporation, other
                 documents may be required.

                 Your redemption proceeds will be sent within three business
                 days after your request is received in good order. However, if
                 you recently purchased your shares by check, your redemption
                 proceeds will not be sent to you until your original check
                 clears, which may take up to 15 days.

                 If you have a Salomon Smith Barney brokerage account, your
                 redemption proceeds will be placed in your account and not
                 reinvested without your specific instruction. In other cases,
                 unless you direct otherwise, your redemption proceeds will be
                 paid by check mailed to your address of record.

By mail          For accounts held directly at the fund, send written requests
                 to the transfer agent at the following address:

                 month of the value of your shares subject to a deferred sales
                 charge.

OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT SHARE TRANSACTIONS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 .  Changed your account registration

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

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

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

                                                                            -13-
<PAGE>
 
The fund has the right to:

 .  Suspend the offering of shares

 .  Waive or change minimum and additional investment amounts

 .  Reject any purchase or exchange order

 .  Change, revoke or suspend the exchange privilege

 .  Suspend telephone transactions

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

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

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

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

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

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

You may be eligible to participate in the Smith Barney 401(k) program or the
Smith Barney ExecChoice(TM) program. The fund offers Class A shares to
participating plans as an investment alternative under the programs, provided
the participating plan makes an initial investment of at least $1 million. You
can meet minimum investment and exchange amounts by combining the plan's
investments in any of the Smith Barney mutual funds. There are no sales charges
when you buy or sell shares.

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

                                                                            -15-

DISTRIBUTIONS, DIVIDENDS AND TAXES

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

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

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

Long-term capital gain distributions     Long-term capital gain

Short-term capital gain distributions    Ordinary income

Dividends                                Ordinary income
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

SHARE PRICE

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

The fund generally values its fund securities based on market prices or
quotations. When reliable market prices are not readily available, the fund may
price those securities at fair value. Fair value is determined in accordance
with procedures approved by the fund's board. A fund that uses fair value to
price securities may value those securities higher or lower than another fund
using market quotations to price the same securities.

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

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


FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

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

Fund goal and strategies
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investment objective

The fund seeks high current income, liquidity and security of principal.

Key investments

The fund invests primarily in debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government, its agencies or instrumentalities and in related repurchase and
reverse repurchase agreements. These U.S. government securities in which the
fund invests consist primarily of mortgage-related securities and U.S. Treasury
securities. Mortgage-related securities issued by federal agencies or
instrumentalities may be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Treasury, by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. government or only
by the credit of the issuer itself.

Selection process

The manager selects individual securities that it believes are undervalued or
will offer better protection of capital during periods of changing market
conditions. The manager spreads the fund's investments among various sectors,
focusing more heavily on sectors it believes will experience less price
volatility given prevailing interest rates and expected interest rate movements.
In selecting individual securities, the manager:

o     Determines sector and maturity weightings based on intermediate and
      long-term assessments of the economic environment and relative value
      factors based on interest rate outlook

o     Measures the potential impact of supply/demand imbalances, yield curve
      shifts and changing prepayment patterns to identify individual securities
      that balance potential return and risk

o     Monitors the spreads between U.S. Treasury and government agency or
      instrumentality issues and purchases agency and instrumentality issues
      that it believes will provide a yield advantage

o     Uses research to uncover inefficient sectors of the government securities
 	and
      mortgage markets and adjusts portfolio positions to take advantage of new
      information

Risks, performance and expenses
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Principal risks of investing in the fund

Investors could lose money on their investment in the fund, or the fund may not
perform as well as other investments, if:

o     Interest rates increase, causing the prices of fixed income securities to
      decline which would reduce the value of the fund's portfolio

o     Prepayment or call risk: As interest rates decline, the issuers of
      mortgage-related or callable securities held by the fund may pay principal
      earlier than scheduled or exercise a right to call the securities, forcing
      the fund to reinvest in lower yielding securities

o     Extension risk: As interest rates increase, slower than expected principal
      payments may extend the average life of fixed income securities, locking
      in below-market interest rates and reducing the value of these securities

o     The manager's judgment about interest rates or the attractiveness, value
      or income potential of a particular security proves incorrect

Payments of principal and interest on mortgage-backed securities issued by
 instrumentalities
of the U.S. government guaranteed solely by the issuer not guaranteed by the
 U.S. government. Although
payment of principal and interest on mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S.
 agencies are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, 
 this guarantee does not apply to losses resulting
from declines in the market value of these securities.

Who may want to invest

The fund may be an appropriate investment if you:

o     Are seeking income consistent with preservation of capital

o     Are willing to accept the interest rate risks and market risks of
      investing in government bonds and mortgage-related securities

o     Prefer to invest in U.S. government securities rather than higher yielding
      corporate or foreign securities

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

Comparative performance 

This table indicates the risks of investing in the fund by comparing the average
annual total return of each class for the periods shown with that of the Lehman
Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index (the "Lehman Index"), a broad-based
unmanaged index of mortgage-backed securities and the Lipper [U.S. Government
Securities Fund] Average (the "Lipper Average"), an average composed of the
fund's peer group of mutual funds. This table assumes imposition of the maximum
sales charge applicable to the class, redemption of shares at the end of the
period, and reinvestment of distributions and dividends.

More on the fund's investments
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Derivative contracts. The fund may, but need not, use derivative contracts, such
as interest rate futures and options on interest rate futures, for any of the
following purposes:

o     To hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes in the market
      value of portfolio securities due to changes in interest rates 

o     As a substitute for buying or selling securities

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

Risk of high portfolio turnover. The fund may engage in active and frequent
trading, resulting in high portfolio turnover. This may lead to the realization
and distribution to shareholders of higher capital gains, increasing their tax
liability. Frequent trading also increases transaction costs, which could
detract from the fund's performance.

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

Management
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

James E. Conroy, investment officer of Mutual Management Corp. and managing
director of Salomon Smith Barney, has been responsible for the day to day
management of the fund since January 1996. Mr. Conroy has over [ ] years of
investment management experience.

Management fees. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, the manager
received an advisory fee equal to 0.45% of the fund's average daily net assets.

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

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

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

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Choosing a class of shares to buy
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

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

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

You may buy shares from:

o     A Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant

o     An investment dealer in the selling group or a broker that clears through
      Salomon Smith Barney -- a dealer representative

o     The fund, but only if you are investing through certain qualified plans or
      certain dealer representatives

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

Sales charge:  Class A shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

Qualifying for a reduced Class A sales charge. There are several ways you can
combine multiple purchases of Class A shares of Smith Barney funds to take
advantage of the breakpoints in the sales charge schedule.

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

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

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


- -12-
<PAGE>

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

Waivers for certain Class A investors. Class A initial sales charges are waived
for certain types of investors, including:

o     Employees of members of the NASD

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

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

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

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

Sales charge: Class B shares

You buy Class B shares at net asset value without paying an initial sales
charge. However, if you redeem your Class B shares within six years of purchase,
you will pay a deferred sales charge. The deferred sales charge decreases as the
number of years since your purchase increases.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                    6th and

Class B conversion. After 8 years, Class B shares automatically convert into
Class A shares. This helps you because Class A shares have lower annual
expenses. Your Class B shares will convert to Class A shares as follows:

Sales charge: Class L shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sales charge: Class Y shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You buy Class Y shares at net asset value with no initial sales charge and no
deferred sales charge when you redeem. You must meet the $15,000,000 initial
investment requirement. You can use a letter of intent to meet this requirement
by buying Class Y shares of the fund over a 6-month period. To qualify, you must
initially invest $5,000,000.

More about deferred sales charges
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

o     Shares exchanged for shares of another Smith Barney fund

o     Shares representing reinvested distributions and dividends

o     Shares no longer subject to the deferred sales charge

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

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

Deferred sales charge waivers

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

o     On payments made through certain systematic withdrawal plans

o     On certain distributions from a retirement plan

o     For involuntary redemptions of small account balances

o     For 12 months following the death or disability of a shareholder

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

Exchanging shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Smith Barney offers a distinctive family of funds tailored to help meet the
varying needs of both large and small investors.

You should contact your Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or dealer
representative to exchange into other Smith Barney funds. Be sure to read the
prospectus of the Smith Barney fund you are exchanging into. An exchange is a
taxable transaction.
                                                               
o     You may exchange shares only for shares of the same class of another Smith
      Barney fund. Not all Smith Barney funds offer all classes.
                                                               
o     Not all Smith Barney funds may be offered in your state of residence.
      Contact your Smith Barney Financial Consultant, dealer representative or
      the transfer agent.
                                                               
o     You must meet the minimum investment amount for each fund
                                                               
o     If you hold share certificates, the transfer agent must receive the
      certificates endorsed for transfer or with signed stock powers (documents
      transferring ownership of certificates) before the exchange is effective.
                                                               
o     The fund may suspend or terminate your exchange privilege if you engage in
      an excessive pattern of exchanges

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Waiver of additional sales charges

Your shares will not be subject to an initial sales charge at the time of the
exchange.
                                                               
Your deferred sales charge (if any) will continue to be measured from the date
of your original purchase. If the fund you exchange into has a higher deferred
sales charge, you will be subject to that charge. If you exchange at any time
into a fund with a lower charge, the sales charge will not be reduced.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By telephone

If you do not have a brokerage account, you may be eligible to exchange shares
through the transfer agent. You must complete an authorization form to authorize
telephone transfers. If eligible, you may make telephone exchanges on any day
the New York Stock Exchange is open. Call the transfer agent at 1-800-451-2010
between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time). Requests received after the
close of regular trading on the Exchange are priced at the net asset value next
determined.
                                                               
You can make telephone exchanges only between accounts that have identical
registrations.

Redeeming shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Generally

Contact your Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultant or dealer representative
to redeem shares of the fund.

If you hold share certificates, the transfer agent must receive the certificates
endorsed for transfer or with signed stock powers before the redemption is
effective.

If the shares are held by a fiduciary or corporation, other documents may be
required.

Your redemption proceeds will be sent within three business days after your
request is received in good order. However, if you recently purchased your
shares by check, your redemption proceeds will not be sent to you until your
original check clears, which may take up to 15 days.
                                                              
If you have a Salomon Smith Barney brokerage account, your redemption proceeds
will be placed in your account and not reinvested without your specific
instruction. In other cases, unless you direct otherwise, your redemption
proceeds will be paid by check mailed to your address of record.
                                                              
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you do not have a brokerage account, you may be eligible to redeem shares
(except those held in retirement plans) in amounts up to $10,000 per day through
the transfer agent. You must complete an authorization form to authorize
telephone redemptions. If eligible, you may request redemptions by telephone on
any day the New York Stock Exchange is open. Call the transfer agent at
1-800-451-2010 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time). Requests received
after the close of regular trading on the Exchange are priced at the net asset
value next determined.
                                                                
Your redemption proceeds can be sent by check to your address of record or by
wire transfer to a bank account designated on your authorization form. You may
be charged a fee for wire transfers. You must submit a new authorization form to
change the bank account designated to receive wire transfers and you may be
asked to provide certain other documents.

waived if your automatic payments do not exceed 1% per month of the value of
your shares subject to a deferred sales charge.

Other things to know about share transactions
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

      o     Name of the fund

      o     Account number

      o     Class of shares being bought, exchanged or redeemed

      o     Dollar amount or number of shares being bought, exchanged or
            redeemed

      o     Signature of each owner exactly as the account is registered

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

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

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

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

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

o     Changed your account registration

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

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

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

The fund has the right to:

o     Suspend the offering of shares

o     Waive or change minimum and additional investment amounts

o     Reject any purchase or exchange order

o     Change, revoke or suspend the exchange privilege

o     Suspend telephone transactions

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

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

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

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

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

Smith Barney 401(k) and ExecChoice(TM) programs
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

o     Class A shares may be purchased by plans investing at least $1 million.

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

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

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

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

Dividends, distributions and taxes
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transaction                              Federal tax status
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Redemption or exchange of shares         Usually capital gain or loss; long-term
                                         only if shares owned more than one year
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long-term capital gain distributions     Long-term capital gain
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Short-term capital gain distributions    Ordinary income
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividends                                Ordinary income
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Share price
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

The fund generally values its fund securities based on market prices or
quotations. When reliable market prices are not readily available, the fund may
price those securities at fair value. Fair value is determined in accordance
with procedures approved by the fund's board. A fund that uses fair value to
price securities may value those securities higher or lower than another fund
using market quotations to price the same securities.

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

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

Financial highlights
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

U.S. Government Securities Fund - Class Z Shares
<PAGE>

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fund goal and strategies
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investment objective

The fund seeks high current income, liquidity and security of principal.

Key investments

The fund invests primarily in debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government, its agencies or instrumentalities and in related repurchase and
reverse repurchase agreements. These U.S. government securities in which the
fund invests consist primarily of mortgage-related securities and U.S. Treasury
securities. Mortgage-related securities issued by federal agencies or
instrumentalities may be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Treasury, by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. government or only
by the credit of the issuer itself.

Selection process

The manager selects individual securities that it believes are undervalued or
will offer better protection of capital during periods of changing market
conditions. The manager spreads the fund's investments among various sectors,
focusing more heavily on sectors it believes will experience less price
volatility given prevailing interest rates and expected interest rate movements.
In selecting individual securities, the manager:

o     Determines sector and maturity weightings based on intermediate and
      long-term assessments of the economic environment and relative value
      factors based on interest rate outlook

o     Measures the potential impact of supply/demand imbalances, yield curve
      shifts and changing prepayment patterns to identify individual securities
      that balance potential return and risk

o     Monitors the spreads between U.S. Treasury and government agency or
      instrumentality issues and purchases agency and instrumentality issues
      that it believes will provide a yield advantage

o     Uses research to uncover inefficient sectors of the government securities
 	and
      mortgage markets and adjusts portfolio positions to take advantage of new
      information

Risks, performance and expenses
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Principal risks of investing in the fund

Investors could lose money on their investment in the fund, or the fund may not
perform as well as other investments, if:

o     Interest rates increase, causing the prices of fixed income securities to
      decline which would reduce the value of the fund's portfolio

o     Prepayment or call risk: As interest rates decline, the issuers of
      mortgage-related or callable securities held by the fund may pay principal
      earlier than scheduled or exercise a right to call the securities, forcing
      the fund to reinvest in lower yielding securities

o     Extension risk: As interest rates increase, slower than expected principal
      payments may extend the average life of fixed income securities, locking
      in below-market interest rates and reducing the value of these securities

o     The manager's judgment about interest rates or the attractiveness, value
      or income potential of a particular security proves incorrect

Payments of principal and interest on mortgage-backed securities issued by
 instrumentalities
of the U.S. government are guaranteed by the issuer and not guaranteed by the
 U.S. government. Although payment of principal and interest on mortgage-backed
 securities issued by U.S. agencies are guaranteed by the full faith and credit
 of the U.S. government, this guarantee does not apply to losses resulting
from declines in the market value of these securities.

Who may want to invest

The fund may be an appropriate investment if you:

o     Are seeking income consistent with preservation of capital

o     Are willing to accept the interest rate risks and market risks of
      investing in government bonds and mortgage-related securities

o     Prefer to invest in U.S. government securities rather than higher yielding
      corporate or foreign securities

More on the fund's investments
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Derivative contracts. The fund may, but need not, use derivative contracts, such
as interest rate futures and options on interest rate futures, for any of the
following purposes:

o     To hedge against the economic impact of adverse changes in the market
      value of portfolio securities due to changes in interest rates

o     As a substitute for buying or selling securities

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

Risk of high portfolio turnover. The fund may engage in active and frequent
trading, resulting in high portfolio turnover. This may lead to the realization
and distribution to shareholders of higher capital gains, increasing their tax
liability. Frequent trading also increases transaction costs, which could
detract from the fund's performance.

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

Management
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

James E. Conroy, investment officer of Mutual Management Corp. and managing
director of Salomon Smith Barney, has been responsible for the day to day
management of the fund since January 1996. Mr. Conroy has over [    ] years of
investment management experience.

Management fees. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, the manager
received an advisory fee equal to ___% of the fund's average daily net assets.

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

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

Buying, selling and exchanging Class Z shares
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

                  There are no minimum investment requirements for Class Z
                  shares. However, the fund reserves the right to change this
                  policy at any time.

Buying            Orders to buy Class Z shares must be made in accordance with
                  the terms of a qualified plan. If you are a participant in a
                  qualified plan, you may place an order with your plan to buy
                  Class Z shares at net asset value, without any sales charge.
                  Payment is due to Salomon Smith Barney on settlement date,
                  which is the third business day after your order is accepted.
                  If you make payment prior to this date, you may designate a
                  temporary investment (such as a money market fund of the Smith
                  Barney Mutual Funds) for payment until settlement date. The
                  fund reserves the right to reject any order to buy shares and
                  to suspend the offering of shares for a period of time.

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

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

 consult their plan document or tax advisors about the tax consequences of
 participating in a qualified plan.

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

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

Because each shareholder's circumstances are different and special tax rules may
apply, you should consult with your tax adviser about your investment in the
fund.

Share price
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

The fund generally values its fund securities based on market prices or
quotations. When reliable market prices are not readily available, the fund may
price those securities at fair value. Fair value is determined in accordance
with procedures approved by the fund's board. A fund that uses fair value to
price securities may value those securities higher or lower than another fund
using market quotations to price the same securities.

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

Your qualified plan must transmit all orders to buy, exchange or redeem shares
to the fund's agent before the agent's close of business.

INVESTMENT POLICIES 
 
	The prospectus describes the investment objectives and policies of 
each Portfolio.  The following discussion supplements the description of 
the Portfolio's investment policies in the prospectus.  The investment 
objectives and policies of each Portfolio are non-fundamental and thus 
may be modified by the Directors of the Fund provided that any 
modification is not prohibited by the Portfolios' investment 
restrictions or applicable laws.  Each Portfolio's investment adviser is 
SSBC Fund Management Inc. ("SSBC" or the "manager").

	Large Cap Value Fund.  The Portfolio invests primarily in common 
stocks offering a current return from dividends and will also normally 
include some interest-paying debt obligations (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 
custodian).  Under normal market conditions, at least 65% of the 
Portfolio's assets will be invested in common stocks of companies that 
have a market capitalization of at least $5 billion at the time of 
investment.  The Portfolio may also purchase preferred stocks and 
convertible securities.  From time to time, a portion of the assets may 
be invested in non-dividend paying stocks.  The Portfolio may make 
investments in foreign securities, although the manager currently 
intends to limit such investments to 5% of the Portfolio's assets 
(including European, Continental and Global Depositary Receipts).  An 
additional 10% of its assets may be invested in sponsored American 
Depositary Receipts representing shares in foreign securities that are 
traded in U.S. securities markets.

	The Portfolio may also invest in options (including swaps, caps, 
collars and floors), unseasoned issuers, REITS and other investment 
companies and may borrow money as a temporary measure for extraordinary 
or emergency purposes.

	U.S. Government Securities Fund.  The Portfolio invests primarily 
in Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") Certificates of the 
modified pass-through type and in mortgage participation certificates 
issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") and the 
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") and will also normally 
include other "U.S. government obligations," i.e., obligations issued or 
guaranteed by the United States, its agencies or instrumentalities. 

	Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio will seek to invest 
substantially all of its assets - and the Portfolio will invest not less 
than 65% of its assets - in such securities.  As a hedge against changes 
in interest rates, the Portfolio 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.

	Short-Term High Grade Bond Fund.  The Portfolio will seek to 
achieve its objective by investing its assets primarily in high-grade 
bonds, including U.S. Government securities and corporate obligations.  
The Portfolio's investments will be limited to debt securities that, at 
the time of investment, are considered to be of "investment grade" 
quality, i.e., securities rated by a nationally recognized statistical 
rating organization ("NRSRO") within one of the four highest ratings 
categories for debt securities, or securities deemed comparable thereto 
by the manager.  In addition, the Portfolio will invest primarily in the 
following securities:  corporate bonds rated in one of the three highest 
categories for debt securities by an NRSRO (such as A or better by 
Moody's Investor Service, Inc. ("Moodys") or Standard & Poor's Rating 
Group ("S&P")); U.S. government securities; and negotiable bank 
certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances issued by domestic 
banks (but not their foreign branches) having total assets in excess of 
$1 billion. 

	In an effort to minimize fluctuations in market value, the 
dollar-weighted average maturity of the Portfolio's securities shall 
normally not be less than one nor more than four years, and the average 
duration of the Portfolio will typically be no greater than 3.5 years.  
The maximum remaining maturity of the securities in which the Portfolio 
shall normally invest will be no greater than ten years.  In calculating 
the maturity of a mortgage-backed security (such as a GNMA Certificate, 
described below), the Portfolio will use the average life of the 
underlying mortgages in the pool backing the security, which takes into 
account the expected rate of prepayments.

	The Portfolio may maintain a portion of its assets, which will 
usually not exceed 10%, in money market obligations and in cash to 
provide for payment of the Portfolio's expenses and to meet redemption 
requests.  It is the policy of the Portfolio to be as fully invested in 
debt securities as practicable at all times.  The Portfolio reserves the 
right, as a defensive measure, to hold money market securities, 
including repurchase agreements or cash, in such proportions as, in the 
opinion of management, prevailing market or economic conditions warrant.  

	Credit Quality.  Each Portfolio may invest in investment grade 
bonds, i.e. U.S. government securities or bonds rated, at the time of 
purchase, in the four highest ratings categories by an NRSRO, such as 
those rated Aaa, Aa, A and Baa by Moody's or AAA, AA, A and BBB by S&P.  
Obligations rated in the lowest of the top four rating categories (such 
as Baa by Moody's or BBB by S&P) may have speculative characteristics 
and changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more 
likely to lead to a weakened capacity to make principal and interest 
payments, including a greater possibility of default or bankruptcy of 
the issuer, than is the case with higher grade bonds.  Subsequent to its 
purchase by a Portfolio, an issue of securities may cease to be rated or 
its rating may be reduced below the minimum required for purchase by the 
Portfolio.  In addition, it is possible that Moody's, S&P and other 
NRSROs might not timely change their ratings of a particular issue to 
reflect subsequent events.  None of these events will require the sale 
of the securities by a Portfolio, although the manager will consider 
these events in determining whether the Portfolio should continue to 
hold the securities.

	U.S. Government Securities.  U.S. government securities are 
obligations of, or are guaranteed by, the United States government, its 
agencies or instrumentalities.  These include bills, certificates of 
indebtedness, and notes and bonds issued by the U.S. treasury or by 
agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government.  Some U.S. 
government securities, such as U.S. treasury bills and bonds, are 
supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. treasury; others are 
supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the United States 
treasury; others, such as those of FNMA, are supported by the 
discretionary authority of the U.S. government to purchase the agency's 
obligations; still others, such as those of the Student Loan Marketing 
Association and the FHLMC are supported only by the credit of the 
instrumentality.  GNMA is a government-chartered corporation owned 
entirely by private stockholders, which is subject to general regulation 
by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.  FHLMC is a U.S. 
government-created entity controlled by the Federal Home Loan Banks. 


	GNMA Securities.  GNMA Certificates are debt securities issued by 
a mortgage banker or other mortgagee 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.  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 and either increasing or decreasing 
the yield realized by the Portfolio, depending on the cost of the 
underlying Certificate and its market value at the time of prepayment.  
The income portions of monthly payments received by these Portfolios 
will be included in their net investment income.  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.  

	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 Securities Portfolio.  Prepayments and scheduled 
payments of principal will be reinvested by the U.S. Government 
Securities 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 a 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.

	Zero Coupon Bonds.  The U.S. Government Securities Fund and Short-
Term High Grade Bond Fund may each invest in zero-coupon debt 
securities, which may be subject to greater volatility than other types 
of debt securities.  Because zero-coupon securities do not make 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.

	Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements.  Each Portfolio may 
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. 
 
	Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of a Portfolio's 
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 a Portfolio 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 
account for the Portfolio with securities having a value equal to or 
greater than such commitments.

	Securities Lending.  Each 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 securities equal to no less than the market value, determined 
daily, of the securities loaned.  A 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 a Portfolio may pay reasonable 
finders, administrative and custodial fees.  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.

	Short-term Trading.  U.S. Government Securities Fund and Short-
Term High Grade Bond Fund may, to a limited degree, each 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 advisable or it needs to generate cash 
to satisfy redemptions.  As the portfolio turnover rate increases, so 
will a 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.

	When-Issued, Delayed Delivery and Forward Commitment Investments.  
Each Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed 
delivery or forward commitment basis.  Such transactions arise when 
securities 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.  Purchasing such securities 
involves the risk of loss if the value of the securities declines prior 
to settlement date.  The sale of securities for delayed delivery 
involves the risk that the prices available in the market on the 
delivery date may be greater than those obtained in the sale 
transaction.  The Portfolio's custodian will maintain, in a segregated 
account on behalf of the Portfolio, cash, U.S. government securities or 
other liquid securities that have a value equal to or greater than the 
Portfolio's purchase commitments; the custodian will likewise segregate 
securities sold on a delayed basis.
 
	Foreign Investments.  The Large Cap Value Fund may invest in 
securities of foreign issuers. Such investments 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 or market value of securities.  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 or other foreign 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.  
 
	The Short-Term High Grade Bond Fund may invest in Yankee 
obligations, including Yankee obligations of foreign banks. Yankee 
obligations are dollar denominated obligations issued in the U.S. 
capital markets by foreign issuers.  Yankee obligations are subject to 
certain sovereign risks. One such risk is the possibility that a foreign 
government might prevent dollar denominated funds from flowing across 
its borders. Other risks include: adverse political and economic 
developments in a foreign country; the extent and quality of government 
regulation of financial markets and institutions; the imposition of 
foreign withholding taxes; and expropriation or nationalization of 
foreign issuers.

	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.  

Futures Contracts and Related Options.  A futures contract is an 
agreement between two parties to buy and sell a security for a set price 
on a future date.  Futures contracts are traded on designated "contracts 
markets" which, through their clearing corporations, guarantee 
performance of the contracts.  Futures contracts and options thereon may 
be undertaken for hedging and other risk management purposes in an 
effort to reduce the impact of several kinds of anticipated price 
fluctuation risks on the securities held by a Portfolio. For example, 
put options on interest rate futures might be purchased to protect 
against declines in the market values of debt securities occasioned by 
higher interest rates. If these transactions are successful, the futures 
or options positions taken by a Portfolio will rise in value by an 
amount which approximately offsets the decline in value of the portion 
of the securities held by a Portfolio that is being hedged.  On other 
occasions, a Portfolio may enter into contracts to purchase the 
underlying instrument. For example, futures contracts for the purchase 
of debt securities might be entered into to protect against an 
anticipated increase in the price of debt securities to be purchased in 
the future resulting from decreased interest rates.

The U.S. Government Securities Fund and Short-Term High Grade Bond 
Fund may purchase and sell interest rate futures contracts ("futures 
contracts") and options thereon as a hedge against changes in interest 
rates.  Currently, there are interest rate futures contracts based on 
securities such as long-term Treasury bonds, Treasury notes, GNMA 
Certificates and three-month Treasury bills.

Generally, if market interest rates increase, the value of 
outstanding debt securities declines (and vice versa).  Entering into a 
futures contract for the sale of securities has an effect similar to the 
actual sale of securities, although the sale of the futures contract 
might be accomplished more easily and quickly.  If interest rates 
increased and the value of a Portfolio's securities declined, the value 
of the Portfolio's futures contracts would increase, thereby protecting 
the Portfolio by preventing the net asset value from declining as much 
as it otherwise would have.  Similarly, entering into futures contracts 
for the purchase of securities has an effect similar to actual purchase 
of the underlying securities, but permits the continued holding of 
securities other than the underlying securities.  For example, if the 
manager expects interest rates to decline, a Portfolio might enter into 
futures contracts for the purchase of securities, so that it could gain 
rapid market exposure that may offset anticipated increases in the cost 
of securities it intends to purchase.

The U.S. Government Securities Fund also may purchase and sell 
listed put and call options on futures contracts.  An option on a 
futures contract gives the purchaser the right, in return for the 
premium paid, to assume a position in a futures contract (a long 
position if the option is a call and a short position if the option is a 
put), at a specified exercise price at any time during the option 
period.  When an option on a futures contract is exercised, delivery of 
the futures position is accompanied by cash representing the difference 
between the current market price of the futures contract and the 
exercise price of the option.  The U.S. Government Securities Fund may 
purchase put options on interest rate futures contracts in lieu of, and 
for the same purpose as, the sale of a futures contract.  It also may 
purchase such put options in order to hedge a long position in the 
underlying futures contract in the same manner as it purchases 
"protective puts" on securities.  The purchase of call options on 
interest rate futures contracts is intended to serve the same purpose as 
the actual purchase of the futures contract, and the Portfolio will set 
aside cash or cash equivalents sufficient to purchase the amount of 
portfolio securities represented by the underlying futures contracts.

A Portfolio will incur brokerage costs whether or not its hedging 
is successful and will be required to post and maintain "margin" as a 
good-faith deposit against performance of its obligations under futures 
contracts and under options written by the Portfolio. Futures and 
options positions are marked to the market daily and the Portfolio may 
be required to make subsequent "variation" margin payments depending 
upon whether its positions increase or decrease in value. In this 
context margin payments involve no borrowing on the part of the 
Portfolio.

The Short-Term High Grade Bond Fund and U.S. Government Securities 
Fund may not purchase futures contracts or options thereon if, 
immediately thereafter, more than 10% and 30%, respectively, of their 
total assets would be so invested.  In purchasing and selling futures 
contracts, each Portfolio will comply with rules and interpretations of 
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"), under which the Fund 
is excluded from regulation as a "commodity pool."  CFTC regulations 
permit use of commodity futures for bona fide hedging purposes without 
limitations on the amount of assets committed to margin.

Neither the U.S. Government Securities Fund nor Short-Term High 
Grade Bond Fund will engage in transactions involving futures contracts 
or options thereon for speculation but only as a hedge against changes 
in the market values of debt securities held, or intended to be 
purchased, by the Portfolio and where the transactions are appropriate 
to reduce the Portfolios' risks.  Each Portfolio's futures, and options 
on futures, transactions will be entered into for traditional hedging 
purposes - that is, futures contracts will be sold to protect against a 
decline in the price of securities that the Portfolio owns, or futures 
contracts will be purchased to protect the Portfolio against an increase 
in the price of securities it is committed to purchase.

There is no assurance that a Portfolio will be able to close out 
it futures positions at any time, in which case it would be required to 
maintain the margin deposits on the contract.  There can be no assurance 
that hedging transactions will be successful, as there may be an 
imperfect correlation (or no correlation) between movements in the 
prices of the futures contracts and of the securities being hedged, or 
price distortions due to market conditions in the futures markets.  
Where futures contracts are purchased to hedge against an increase in 
the price of securities, but the market declines and a Portfolio does 
not invest in securities, the Portfolio would realize a loss on the 
futures contracts, which would not be offset by a reduction in the price 
of securities purchased.  Where futures contracts are sold to hedge 
against a decline in the price of the Portfolio's securities but the 
market advances, the Portfolio would lose part or all of the benefit of 
the advance due to offsetting losses in its futures positions.

Portfolio Turnover.  Each Portfolio effects portfolio transactions 
with a view towards attaining the investment objectives of the Portfolio 
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, distributions of which are taxable 
to shareholders.  See "Financial Highlights" in the prospectus and 
"Investment Management Agreement and Other Services - Brokerage" in this 
Statement of Additional Information.  


INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS 
 
Each of the Portfolios is subject to certain restrictions and 
policies that are "fundamental," which means that they may not be 
changed without a "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting 
securities" of the Portfolio, as defined under the Investment Company 
Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act") and Rule 18f-2 thereunder (see 
"Voting").  The Portfolios are subject to other restrictions and 
policies that are "non-fundamental" and which may be changed by the 
Fund's Board of Directors without shareholder approval, subject to any 
applicable disclosure requirements.

Fundamental Policies - All Portfolios.  Without the approval of a 
majority of its outstanding voting securities, no Portfolio may: 
 
1.	invest in a manner that would cause it to fail to be a 
"diversified company" under the 1940 Act and the rules, 
regulations and orders thereunder. 

2.	issue "senior securities" as defined in the Act and the rules, 
regulations and orders thereunder, except as permitted under the 
Act and the rules, regulations and orders thereunder. 
3.	invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities, the 
issuers of which conduct their principal business activities in 
the same industry. For purposes of this limitation, securities of 
the U.S. government (including its agencies and instrumentalities) 
and securities of state or municipal governments and their 
political subdivisions are not considered to be issued by members 
of any industry. 
4.	borrow money, except that (a) the Portfolio may borrow from banks 
for temporary or emergency (not leveraging) purposes, including 
the meeting of redemption requests which might otherwise require 
the untimely disposition of securities, and (b) the Portfolio may, 
to the extent consistent with its investment policies, enter into 
reverse repurchase agreements, forward roll transactions and 
similar investment strategies and techniques. To the extent that 
it engages in transactions described in (a) and (b), the Portfolio 
will be limited so that no more than 33 -1/3% of the value of its 
total assets (including the amount borrowed), valued at the lesser 
of cost or market, less liabilities (not including the amount 
borrowed) valued at the time the borrowing is made, is derived 
from such transactions. 
5.	make loans. This restriction does not apply to: (a) the purchase 
of debt obligations in which the Portfolio may invest consistent 
with its investment objectives and policies; (b) repurchase 
agreements; and (c) loans of its portfolio securities, to the 
fullest extent permitted under the Act. 
6.	engage in the business of underwriting securities issued by other 
persons, except to the extent that the Portfolio may technically 
be deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933, 
as amended, in disposing of portfolio securities. 
7.	for the Large Cap Value Fund and the U.S. Government Securities 
Fund: purchase or sell real estate, real estate mortgages, 
commodities or commodity contracts, but this restriction shall not 
prevent the Portfolio from (a) investing in securities of issuers 
engaged in the real estate business or the business of investing 
in real estate (including interests in limited partnerships owning 
or otherwise engaging in the real estate business or the business 
of investing in real estate) and securities which are secured by 
real estate or interests therein; (b) holding or selling real 
estate received in connection with securities it holds or held; 
(c) trading in futures contracts and options on futures contracts 
(including options on currencies to the extent consistent with the 
Funds' investment objective and policies); or (d) investing in 
real estate investment trust securities. 
for the Short-Term High Grade Bond Fund only: purchase or sell 
real estate, real estate mortgages,  real estate investment trust 
securities, commodities or commodity contracts, but this 
restriction shall not prevent the Fund from (a) investing in 
securities of issuers engaged in the real estate business or the 
business of investing in real estate (including interests in 
limited partnerships owning or otherwise engaging in the real 
estate business or the business of investing in real estate) and 
securities which are secured by real estate or interests therein; 
(b) holding or selling real estate  received in connection with 
securities it holds or held; or (c) trading in  futures contracts 
and options on futures contracts (including options on currencies 
to the extent consistent with the Funds' investment objective and 
policies). 
 
Nonfundamental Policies.  As a nonfundamental policy, no Portfolio may: 
 
1.	purchase any securities on margin (except for such short-term 
credits as are necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales 
of portfolio securities) or sell any securities short (except 
"against the box"). For purposes of this restriction, the deposit 
or payment by the Portfolio of underlying securities and other 
assets in escrow and collateral agreements with respect to initial 
or maintenance margin in connection with futures contracts and 
related options and options on securities, indexes or similar 
items is not considered to be the purchase of a security on 
margin; 
2.	invest in securities of another investment company except as 
permitted by Section 12(d)(1) of the Act or as part of a merger, 
consolidation, or acquisition; 
3.	purchase or otherwise acquire any security if, as a result, more 
than 15% of its net assets would be invested in securities that 
are illiquid. 

Additional Nonfundamental Policies - Large Cap Value Fund.  As a 
nonfundamental policy, the Large 
Cap Value Fund may not:
 
1.	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;  
2.	invest in any company for the purpose of exercising control of 
management; 
3.	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; or 
4.	invest in interests in oil or gas or other mineral exploration or 
development programs. 
 
	All of the foregoing restrictions which are stated in terms of 
percentages will apply at the time an investment is made; a subsequent 
increase or decrease in the percentage that may result from changes in 
values or net assets will not result in a violation of the restriction.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING TAXES

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

The Portfolios and Their Investments

Each Portfolio intends to qualify to be treated as a regulated 
investment company each taxable year under the Internal Revenue Code of 
1986, as amended (the "Code").  To so qualify, a Portfolio must, among 
other things: (a) derive at least 90% of its gross income in each 
taxable year from dividends, interest, payments with respect to 
securities, loans and gains from the sale or other disposition of stock 
or securities or foreign currencies, or other income (including, but not 
limited to, gains from options, futures or forward contracts) derived 
with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or 
currencies; and (b) diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each 
quarter of a Portfolio's taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the market 
value of a Portfolio's assets is represented by cash, securities of 
other regulated investment companies, United States government 
securities and other securities, with such other securities limited, in 
respect of any one issuer, to an amount not greater than 5% of a 
Portfolio's assets and not greater than 10% of the outstanding voting 
securities of such issuer and (ii) not more than 25% of the value of its 
assets is invested in the securities (other than United States 
government securities or securities of other regulated investment 
companies) of any one issuer or any two or more issuers that a Portfolio 
controls and are determined to be engaged in the same or similar trades 
or businesses or related trades or businesses.
As a regulated investment company, each Portfolio will not be 
subject to United States federal income tax on its net investment income 
(i.e., income other than its net realized long- and short-term capital 
gains) and its net realized long- and short-term capital gains, if any, 
that it distributes to its shareholders, provided that an amount equal 
to at least 90% of the sum of its investment company taxable income 
(i.e., 90% of its taxable income minus the excess, if any, of its net 
realized long-term capital gains over its net realized short-term 
capital losses (including any capital loss carryovers), plus or minus 
certain other adjustments as specified in the Code) and its net tax-
exempt income for the taxable year is distributed, but will be subject 
to tax at regular corporate rates on any taxable income or gains that it 
does not distribute.  Furthermore, each Portfolio will be subject to a 
United States corporate income tax with respect to such distributed 
amounts in any year that it fails to qualify as a regulated investment 
company or fails to meet this distribution requirement.

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

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

At December 31, 1998 the unused capital loss carryovers of the 
Portfolios were approximately as follows:  Short-Term High Grade Bond 
Fund:  $[         ].  For Federal income tax purposes, these amounts are 
available to be applied against future securities gains, if any, 
realized.  The carryovers expire as follows:

Short-Term High Grade Bond Fund
- ---

$971
 
The U.S. Government Securities Fund and the Short-Term High Grade 
Bond Fund may invest in zero coupons securities having an original issue 
discount (that is, the discount represented by the excess of the stated 
redemption price at maturity over the issue price).  Each year, each 
Portfolio will be required to accrue as income a portion of this 
original issue discount even though the Portfolio will receive no cash 
payment of interest with respect to these securities.  In addition, if 
the Portfolio acquires a security after its initial issuance at a 
discount that resulted from fluctuations in prevailing interest rates 
("market discount"), the Portfolio may elect to include in income each 
year a portion of this market discount. 

Each Portfolio will be required to distribute substantially all of 
its income (including accrued original issue and recognized market 
discount) in order to qualify for "pass-through" federal income tax 
treatment and also in order to avoid the imposition of 4% excise tax 
referred to above.  Therefore, a Portfolio may be required in some years 
to distribute an amount greater than the total cash income the Portfolio 
actually receives.  In order to make the required distribution in such a 
year, a Portfolio may be required to borrow or to liquidate securities.  
The amount of cash that a Portfolio would have to distribute, and thus 
the degree to which securities would need to be liquidated or borrowing 
made would depend upon the number of shareholders who chose not to have 
their dividends reinvested.   

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

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

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

Taxation of United States Shareholders

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

Dividends of net investment income and distributions of net 
realized short-term capital gains are taxable to a United States 
shareholder as ordinary income, whether paid in cash or in shares.  
Distributions of net-long-term capital gains, if any, that a Portfolio 
designates as capital gains dividends are taxable as long-term capital 
gains, whether paid in cash or in shares and regardless of how long a 
shareholder has held shares of a Portfolio.  Dividends and distributions 
paid by a Portfolio (except for the portion thereof, if any, 
attributable to dividends on stock of U.S. corporations received by a 
Portfolio) will not qualify for the deduction for dividends received by 
corporations.  Distributions in excess of a Portfolio's current and 
accumulated earnings and profits will, as to each shareholder, be 
treated as a tax-free return of capital, to the extent of a 
shareholder's basis in his shares of a Portfolio, and as a capital gain 
thereafter (if the shareholder holds his shares of a Portfolio as 
capital assets).

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

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

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

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

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

Other Taxation

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

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


 
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 Salomon 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 Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 changed the 
eligibility requirements for participants in Individual Retirement 
Accounts ("IRAs").  Under these new provisions, if you or your spouse 
have earned income, each of you may establish an IRA and make maximum 
annual contributions equal to the lesser of earned income or $2,000.  As 
a result of this legislation, married couples where one spouse is non-
working may now contribute a total of $4,000 annually to their IRAs.

	The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 has changed the requirements for 
determining whether or not you are eligible to make a deductible IRA 
contribution.  Under the new rules effective January 1, 1998, if you are 
considered an active participant in an employer-sponsored retirement 
plan, you may still be eligible for a full or partial deduction 
depending upon your combined adjusted gross income ("AGI").  For married 
couples filing jointly for 1998, a full deduction is permitted if your 
combined AGI is $50,000 or less ($30,000 for unmarried individuals); a 
partial deduction will be allowed when AGI is between $50,000-$60,000 
($30,000-$40,000 for an unmarried individual); and no deduction will be 
allowed when AGI is above $60,000 ($40,000 for an unmarried individual).  
However, if you are married and your spouse is covered by a employer-
sponsored retirement plan, but you are not, you will be eligible for a 
full deduction if your combined AGI is $150,000 or less.  A partial 
deduction is permitted if your combined AGI is between $150,000-$160,000 
and no deduction is permitted after $160,000. 

	The rules applicable to so-called "Roth IRAs" differ from those 
described above.

	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 $24,000) 
of each participant's compensation.  Compensation is capped at $160,000 
for 1998.


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.

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

					P(1 + T)n = ERV

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

			T	=	average annual total return.

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

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

	Each Portfolio's average annual total return with respect to its 
Class A Shares for the one-year period, five-year period, ten-year 
period (if applicable), and for the life of the Portfolio ended December 
31, 1998 is as follows:

	Each Portfolio's average annual total return with respect to its 
Class Z Shares (where applicable) for the one-year period and for the 
life of such Portfolio's Class Z shares through December 31, 1998 is as 
follows:  
 
Portfolio			One Year	Life		Inception Date	 
 
Large Cap Value 		%		%		11/07/94	

U.S. Government		 				11/07/94	
	 
 
	Note that effective October 10, 1994 Class C shares were 
reclassified as additional Class A shares with respect to the Large Cap 
Value Fund and that effective November 7, 1994 Class C shares were 
redesignated Class Y shares with respect to the U.S. Government 
Securities Fund. In addition, effective November 7, 1994 then existing 
Class B shares of each Portfolio were designated as Class C shares. Each 
Portfolio (except the Short-Term High Grade Bond Fund) began to offer 
new Class B shares on November 7, 1994.  Each Portfolio's Class C shares 
were reclassified as Class L shares on June 12, 1998.
 
	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 
annualizing 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 Fund 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 Large Cap Value Fund 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 Short-Term High Grade Bond Fund 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. 

	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, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President's Day, Good Friday, Memorial 
Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.  
Because of the differences in distribution fees and class-specific 
expenses, the per share net asset value of each class of a Portfolio may 
differ.
 
 
PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES

PURCHASE OF SHARES

	Detailed information about the purchase, redemption and exchange 
of fund shares appears in the prospectus.

Volume Discounts

	The schedules of sales charges described in the prospectus apply 
to purchases of shares of the U.S. Government Securities Fund or Large 
Cap Value Fund made by any "purchaser," which term is defined to include 
the following: (a) an individual; (b) an individual's spouse and his or 
her children purchasing shares for his or her own account; (c) a trustee 
or other fiduciary purchasing shares for a single trust estate or single 
fiduciary account; (d) a pension, profit-sharing or other employee 
benefit plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code 
(the "Code") and qualified employee benefit plans of employers who are 
"affiliated persons" of each other within the meaning of the Investment 
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"); (e) tax-exempt 
organizations enumerated in Section 501(c)(3) or (13) of the Code; or 
(f) any other organized group of persons, provided that the organization 
has been in existence for at least six months and was organized for a 
purpose other than the purchase of investment company securities at a 
discount.  Purchasers who wish to combine purchase orders to take 
advantage of volume discounts should contact a Salomon Smith Barney 
Financial Consultant.

Right of Accumulation

	Class A shares of the U.S. Government Securities Fund and Large 
Cap Value Fund may be purchased by "any person," which includes an 
individual and his or her immediate family, or a trustee or other 
fiduciary of a single trust estate or single fiduciary account, at a 
reduced sales charge or at net asset value determined by aggregating the 
dollar amount of the new purchase and the total net asset value of all 
Class A shares of the Portfolio and of Portfolios sponsored by Salomon 
Smith Barney which are offered with a sales charge listed under 
"Exchange Privilege" below then held by such person and applying the 
sales charge applicable to such aggregate.  In order to obtain such 
discount, the purchaser must provide sufficient information at the time 
of purchase to permit verification that the purchase qualifies for the 
reduced sales charge.  The right of accumulation is subject to 
modification or discontinuance at any time with respect to all shares 
purchased thereafter. 

Group Purchases

	Upon completion of certain automated systems, a reduced sales 
charge or purchase 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 in accordance with the schedule in the prospectus and 
will be based upon the aggregate sales of Class A shares of the Smith 
Barney 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 payroll deductions, IRAs or 
investments pursuant to retirement plans under Sections 401 or 408 of 
the Code.  Salomon Smith Barney may also offer a reduced sales charge or 
net asset value purchase for aggregating related fiduciary accounts 
under such conditions that Salomon Smith Barney will realize economies 
of sales efforts and sales related expenses.  An individual who is a 
member of a qualified group may also purchase Class A shares at the 
reduced sales charge applicable 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 previously 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 fund shares at a 
discount and (c) satisfies uniform criteria which enable Salomon 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 the fund in its publications and mailing to members 
at no cost to Salomon 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 Salomon 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 sales 
charge table in the prospectus includes purchases of all Class A shares 
of a Portfolio and other Smith Barney funds offered with a sales charge 
over the 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 charge applicable to the purchases made and the 
charges previously paid, or an appropriate number of escrowed shares 
will be redeemed.  Please contact a Salomon Smith Barney Financial 
Consultant or First Data Investors Services Group, Inc. ("First Data" or 
the "transfer agent") 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 $5,000,000 in 
Class Y shares of a Portfolio and agree to purchase a total of 
$15,000,000 of Class Y shares of the Portfolio within thirteen (13) 
months from the date of the Letter.  If a total investment of 
$15,000,000 is not made within the thirteen-month period, all Class Y 
shares purchased to date will be transferred to Class A shares, where 
they will be subject to all fees (including a service fee of 0.25%) and 
expenses applicable to the fund's Class A shares, which may include a 
CDSC of 1.00%.  Each Portfolio expects that such transfer will not be 
subject to Federal income taxes.  Please contact a Salomon Smith Barney 
Financial Consultant for First Data for further information.

Smith Barney 401(k) Program and ExecChoiceTM Programs

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

	Each Portfolio offers to Participating Plans Class A shares, and 
the Large Cap Value Fund and U.S. Government Securities Fund also offers 
Class L shares, as investment alternatives under the Smith Barney 401(k) 
and ExecChoiceTM Programs.  Class A and Class L shares acquired through 
the Participating Plans are subject to the same service and/or 
distribution fees as the Class A and Class L shares acquired by other 
investors; however, they are not subject to any initial sales charge or 
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 a Portfolio are offered without 
any sales charge or CDSC to any Participating Plan that purchases 
$1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of one or more funds of the Smith 
Barney funds.

	Class L Shares.  Class L shares of a Portfolio are offered without 
any sales charge or CDSC to any Participating Plan that purchases less 
than $1,000,000 of Class L shares of one or more funds of the Smith 
Barney funds.

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

	401(k) Plans Opened Prior to June 21, 1996.  In any year after the 
date a Participating Plan enrolled in the Smith Barney 401(k) Program, 
if its total Class L holdings in all non-money market Smith Barney funds 
equal at least $500,000 as of the calendar year-end, the Participating 
Plan will be offered the opportunity to exchange all of its Class L 
shares for Class A shares of 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.

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

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

	Existing 401(k) Plans Investing in Class B Shares.  Class B shares 
of the Smith Barney funds are not available for purchase by 
Participating Plans opened on or after June 21, 1996, but may continue 
to be purchased by Participating Plans in the Smith Barney 401(k) 
Program opened prior to such date and originally investing in such 
Class.  Class B shares acquired 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.

	At the end of the eighth year after the date the Participating 
Plan enrolled in the Smith Barney 401(k) Program, the Participating Plan 
will be offered the opportunity to exchange all of its Class B shares 
for Class A shares of the Portfolio.  Such Participating Plan 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 additional Class B 
shares of the Portfolio but instead may acquire Class A shares of the 
fund.  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 
investors.

	No CDSC is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares to the extent 
that the net asset value of the shares redeemed does not exceed the 
current net asset value of the shares purchased through reinvestment of 
dividends or capital gain distributions, plus the current net asset 
value of Class B shares purchased more than eight years prior to the 
redemption, plus any increase in the net asset value of the 
shareholder's Class B shares above the purchase payments made during the 
preceding eight years.  Whether or not the CDSC applies to the 
redemption by 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 redemptions by other 
shareholders, which depends on the number of years since those 
shareholders made the purchase payment from which the amount is being 
redeemed.

	The CDSC will be waived on redemptions of Class B 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.

	The per share dividends on Class B and Class L shares of the 
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 L shares.  The per share dividends on Class 
A shares of the fund 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 L and Class Y shares.

Determination of Public Offering Price

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

REDEMPTION OF SHARES

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

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

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

Distribution in Kind

	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. 

Automatic Cash Withdrawal Plan

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

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

WAIVERS OF CDSC

	The CDSC for Large Cap Value Fund and U.S. Government Securities 
Fund will be waived on: (a) exchanges (see "Exchange Privilege" in the 
respective prospectus); (b) automatic cash withdrawals in amounts equal 
to or less than 1.00% per month of the value of the shareholder's shares 
at the time the withdrawal plan commences (see "Automatic Cash 
Withdrawal Plan in the respective prospectus") (provided, however, that 
automatic cash withdrawals in amounts equal to or less than 2.00% per 
month of the value of the shareholder's shares will be permitted for 
withdrawal plans that were established prior to November 7, 1994); (c) 
redemptions of shares within 12 months following the death or disability 
of the shareholder; (d) redemptions of shares made in connection with 
qualified distributions from retirement plans or IRAs upon the 
attainment of age 591/2; (e) involuntary redemptions; and (f) redemptions 
of shares to effect a combination of the Portfolio with any investment 
company by merger, acquisition of assets or otherwise.  In addition, a 
shareholder who has redeemed shares from other Smith Barney 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 Salomon Smith Barney in the case of shareholders who 
are also Salomon Smith Barney clients or by the transfer agent in the 
case of all other shareholders) of the shareholder's status or holdings, 
as the case may be.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING TELEPHONE REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE 
PROGRAM.

	None of the Portfolios nor their agents will be liable for 
following instructions communicated by telephone that are reasonably 
believed to be genuine.  Each Portfolio 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).  Each Portfolio 
reserves the right to suspend, modify or discontinue the telephone 
redemption and exchange program or to impose a charge for this service 
at any time following at least seven (7) days prior notice to 
shareholders.
 
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE

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

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

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

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

	Dealers other than Salomon Smith Barney must notify the transfer 
agent of the investor's prior ownership of Class A shares of Smith 
Barney High Income Fund and the account number in order to accomplish an 
exchange of shares of Smith Barney High Income Fund under paragraph 1 
above.

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

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

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND OTHER SERVICES 
 
Manager 
 
	For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the 
investment management fees paid by each Portfolio were as follows:   
 
Portfolio			   1996		     1997 	  1998
 
U.S. Government		$1,770,235	$ 1,571,535
Large Cap Value		 4,622,817 	   5,536,984
Short-Term High Grade	    479,559 	     538,831	
 
	Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the management fee for the 
Large Cap Value Fund 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 Fund 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 Portfolio, and 0.40% of the aggregate average daily net 
assets of the Portfolio in excess of $200 million. The management fee 
for the Short-Term High Grade Bond Fund is calculated at the annual rate 
of 0.45% of such Portfolio's average daily net assets.   
 
	The Management Agreement for each of the Portfolios further 
provides that all other expenses not specifically assumed by the manager 
under the Management Agreement on behalf of a Portfolio are borne by the 
Portfolio or the Fund.  Expenses payable by a Portfolio or 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 among the various 
Portfolios on the basis of relative net assets. 
 
DISTRIBUTOR

	CFBDS, 20 Milk Street, Boston, MA 02109-5408, distributes 
shares of the Fund as principal underwriter and as such conducts a 
continuous offering pursuant to a ''best efforts'' arrangement requiring 
CFBDS to take and pay for only such securities as may be sold to the 
public. Pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted by the fund under 
Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (a ''Plan''), CFBDS is paid a service fee 
with respect to Class A, Class B and Class L shares of the Fund at the 
annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to 
these Classes. CFBDS is also paid a distribution fee with respect to 
Class B and Class L shares at the annual rate of 0.75% of the average 
daily net assets attributable 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 subject to a distribution fee.  The 
fees are used by CFBDS to pay its Financial Consultants for servicing 
shareholder accounts and, in the case of Class B and Class L 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 
Salomon 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 CFBDS 
associated with the sale of Fund shares, including lease, utility, 
communications and sales promotion expenses. 

	The payments to Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultants 
for selling shares of a Class include a commission or fee paid by the 
investor or CFBDS at the time of sale and, with respect to Class A, 
Class B and Class L shares, a continuing fee for servicing shareholder 
accounts for as long as a shareholder remains a holder of that Class. 
Salomon Smith Barney Financial Consultants may receive different levels 
of compensation for selling different Classes of shares. 

	Payments under each Plan with respect to Class B and Class L 
shares are not tied exclusively to the distribution and shareholder 
services expenses actually incurred by Salomon Smith Barney and the 
payments may exceed distribution expenses actually incurred. The fund's 
Board of Directors will evaluate the appropriateness of each Plan and 
its payment terms on a continuing basis and in so doing will consider 
all relevant factors, including expenses borne by CFBDS, amounts 
received under the Plan and proceeds of the CDSC. 

		When payment is made by the investor before the settlement 
date, unless otherwise requested in writing by the investor, the funds 
will be held as a free credit balance in the investor's brokerage 
account and Salomon Smith Barney may benefit from the temporary use of 
the funds.  The investor may designate another use for the funds prior 
to settlement date, such as an investment in a money market fund (other 
than Salomon Smith Barney Exchange Reserve fund) of the Smith Barney 
funds.  If the investor instructs Salomon Smith Barney to invest the 
funds in a Salomon Smith Barney money market fund, the amount of the 
investment will be included as part of the average daily net assets of 
both the fund and the money market fund, and affiliates of Salomon Smith 
Barney that serve the funds in an investment advisory or administrative 
capacity will benefit from the fact that they are receiving fees from 
both such investment companies for managing these assets, computed on 
the basis of their average daily net assets.  The Fund's Board of 
Directors has been advised of the benefits to Salomon Smith Barney 
resulting from these settlement procedures and will take such benefits 
into consideration when reviewing the Investment Management and 
Distribution Agreements for continuance.

	Under its terms, the Plan continues from year to year, provided 
such continuance is approved annually by vote of the board of trustees, 
including a majority of the Directors who are not interested persons of 
the Fund and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the 
operation of the Plan or in the Distribution Agreement (the "independent 
trustees").  The Plan may not be amended to increase the amount of the 
service and distribution fees without shareholder approval, and all 
amendments of the Plan also must be approved by the trustees including 
all of the independent trustees in the manner described above.  The Plan 
may be terminated with respect to a Class at any time, without penalty, 
by vote of a majority of the independent Directors or, with respect to 
any Portfolio, by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting 
securities of a Portfolio (as defined in the 1940 Act).  Pursuant to the 
Plan, the  Board of Directors will be provided with periodic reports of 
amounts expended under the Plan and the purpose for which such 
expenditures were made.
 
	Prior to October 8, 1998 Salomon Smith Barney served as principal 
underwriter of the Fund's shares under the fund's prior 12b-1 
distribution plans (the "Prior Plans").  The prior plans were 
substantially similar to the Plans.  For the year ended December 31, 
1998, the fees which have been accrued and/or paid to Salomon Smith 
Barney under the Prior Plans or CFBDS under the Plans pursuant to Rule 
12b-1 for the fund are set out in the table below:

Portfolio		Class A		Class B		Class C	        
Class Y		Total 
 
Large Cap Value							N/A	
U.S. Government	    	 	   		 		N/A	
Short-Term High Grade	   		N/A		    N/A		N/A	  
 
	The distribution expenses for 1998 included compensation of 
financial consultants and printing costs of prospectuses and marketing 
materials.   Pursuant to the Plans, CFBDS incurs the expenses of 
distributing the Company's Class A, Class B and Class L shares.  

	For the fiscal years 1996 and 1997 aggregate sales commissions of 
approximately $689,000 and $608,000, respectively, were paid to Salomon 
Smith Barney by the purchasers of Fund shares.  During the fiscal year 
1998 aggregate sales commissions of $___________________ were paid by 
the purchasers of shares  ($______________ to Salomon Smith Barney and 
$_____________ to CFBDS).   As set forth in the prospectus, a contingent 
deferred sales charge ("CDSC") may be imposed on certain redemptions of 
Class A, Class B 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 of the Large 
Cap Value Fund 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 the U.S. Government Securities Fund 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 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 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.   
 
Portfolio Transactions 
Large Cap Value Fund - Brokerage

	The manager is responsible for allocating the Large Cap Value 
Fund's brokerage transactions in equity securities.  Orders may be 
directed to any broker including, to the extent and in the manner 
permitted by applicable law, Salomon Smith Barney.  Salomon Smith Barney 
has acted as the Fund's principal broker on behalf of the Large Cap 
Value Fund and has received a substantial portion of brokerage fees paid 
by such Portfolio.  The Portfolio will not deal with Salomon 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 
prompt reliable execution.  In the opinion of the manager, 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 manager 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 manager takes into 
consideration the fact that a particular broker may, in addition to 
execution capability, provide other services to the Portfolio 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 or Smith Barney in connection with services 
rendered to other advisory clients and not all such services may be used 
in connection with the Portfolio.
 
	Shown below are the total brokerage fees paid by the Large Cap 
Value Fund during 1996, 1997 and 1998. Also shown is the portion paid to 
Salomon 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 1998, the total amount of commissionable transactions 
was $_________; $__________ (____%) of which was directed to Salomon 
Smith Barney and executed by unaffiliated brokers and $__________ 
(____%) of which was directed to other brokers.

_________________
*Directed to Salomon Smith Barney and executed by unaffiliated 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 Salomon 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.

All Portfolios - Other Portfolio Transactions  

	The Fund's fixed income securities ordinarily are purchased from 
and sold to parties acting as either principal or agent.  Newly issued 
securities ordinarily are purchased directly from the issuer or from an 
underwriter; other purchases and sales usually are placed with those 
dealers from which the manager determines that the best execution will 
be obtained.  (Newly issued U.S. Treasury securities would be purchased 
through the auction process.)  Usually no brokerage commissions, as 
such, are paid for purchases and sales of fixed-income securities, which 
are typically undertaken through principal transactions, although the 
price paid usually includes compensation to the dealer acting in the 
form of a spread or mark-up.  The prices paid to underwriters of newly 
issued securities (other than U.S. Treasury Securities) typically 
include a concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter, and 
purchasers of after-market fixed-income securities from dealers 
ordinarily are executed at a price between the bid and asked price. 

	Transactions in fixed-income securities are allocated to various 
broker-dealers by the manager in its best judgment.  The primary 
consideration is prompt and effective execution of orders at the most 
favorable price.  Subject to that primary consideration, broker-dealers 
may be selected for research, statistical or other services to enable 
the manager to supplement its own research and analysis with the views 
and information of other securities firms.  The Fund may utilize Salomon 
Smith Barney Inc. ("Salomon Smith Barney") as a commodities broker in 
connection with entering into options and futures contracts. 

	Research services furnished by broker-dealers through which the 
Fund effects securities transactions may be used by the manager in 
managing other investment funds and, conversely, research services 
furnished to the manager by broker-dealers in connection with other 
funds the manager advises may be used by the manager in advising the 
Fund.  Although it is not possible to place a dollar value on these 
services, the manager is of the view that the receipt of the services 
should not reduce the overall costs of its research services.
	Investment decisions for each Portfolio are made independently 
from those of other Portfolios, and other investment companies managed 
by the manager.  If those investment companies are prepared to invest 
in, or desire to dispose of, investments at the same time as the Fund, 
however, available investments or opportunities for sales will be 
allocated equitably to each client of the manager.  In some cases, this 
procedure may adversely affect the size of the position obtained for or 
disposed of by the Fund or the price paid or received by the Fund.


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 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, 1998 to examine and report on the Fund's financial 
statements and highlights. 
 
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND

	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 Fund has outstanding three series of shares, each 
representing shares in separate Portfolios, and the Board of Directors 
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 (where 
available) shares of any Portfolio represent interests in the assets of 
the 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 Rule 12b-1 distribution plan which pertain to a 
particular Class.  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.

	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. 	


 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 of 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.  
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 February 5, 1999, the following table contains a list of 
shareholders who of record or beneficially own at least 5% of the 
outstanding shares of a particular class of shares of a Portfolio of the 
Fund:

Large Cap Value Fund

Class Y


U.S. Government Securities Fund

Class Y

Short-Term High Grade Bond Fund

Class Y


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
 
	The Fund's financial information will be incorporated by reference 
to the Fund's Annual Reports to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended 
December 31, 1998 which will be subsequently filed in a post-effective 
amendment to this registration. 
									 



APPENDIX - RATINGS FOR 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 Ratings Group 
 
	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 Ratings Group 
 
	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.

SMITH BARNEY FUNDS, INC.
FORM OF
DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT



									October 8, 1998



CFBDS, Inc.
21 Milk Street
Boston, MA 02109

Dear Sirs:

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

	1.	Services as Principal Underwriter and Distributor

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

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

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

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

2.	Duties of the Fund

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

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

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

	3.	Representations and Warranties

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

	4.	Indemnification

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

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

	No Shares shall be offered by either you or the Fund under any of 
the provisions of this Agreement and no orders for the purchase or sale 
of such Shares under this Agreement shall be accepted by the Fund if and 
so long as the effectiveness of the registration statement then in 
effect or any necessary amendments thereto shall be suspended under any 
of the provisions of the 1933 Act, or if and so long as a current 
prospectus as required by Section 5(b) (2) of the 1933 Act is not on 
file with the SEC; provided, however, that nothing contained in this 
paragraph 5 shall in any way restrict or have any application to or 
bearing upon the Fund's obligation to repurchase its Shares from any 
shareholder in accordance with the provisions of the Fund's prospectus, 
statement of additional information or charter documents, as amended 
from time to time.

6. Offering Price

Shares of any class of any Series of the Fund offered for sale by 
you shall be offered for sale at a price per share (the "offering 
price") equal to (a) their net asset value (determined in the manner set 
forth in the Fund's charter documents and the then-current prospectus 
and statement of additional information) plus (b) a sales charge, if 
applicable, which shall be the percentage of the offering price of such 
Shares as set forth in the Fund's then-current prospectus relating to 
such Series.  In addition to or in lieu of any sales charge applicable 
at the time of sale, Shares of any class of any Series of the Fund 
offered for sale by you may be subject to a contingent deferred sales 
charge as set forth in the Fund's then-current prospectus and statement 
of additional information.  You shall be entitled to receive any sales 
charge levied at the time of sale in respect of the Shares without 
remitting any portion to the Fund.  Any payments to a broker or dealer 
through whom you sell Shares shall be governed by a separate agreement 
between you and such broker or dealer and the Fund's then-current 
prospectus and statement of additional information.  Any payments to any 
provider of services to you shall be governed by a separate agreement 
between you and such service provider. 
	7.	Notice to You

	The Fund agrees to advise you immediately in writing:

		(a)  of any request by the SEC for 
amendments to the registration statement, 
prospectus or statement of additional 
information then in effect or for additional 
information;

		(b)  in the event of the issuance by 
the SEC of any stop order suspending the 
effectiveness of the registration statement, 
prospectus or statement of additional 
information then in effect or the initiation 
of any proceeding for that purpose;

		(c)  of the happening of any event that 
makes untrue any statement of a material fact 
made in the registration statement, 
prospectus or statement of additional 
information then in effect or that requires 
the making of a change in such registration 
statement, prospectus or statement of 
additional information in order to make the 
statements therein not misleading; and
		
		(d)  of all actions of the SEC with 
respect to any amendment to the registration 
statement, or any supplement to the 
prospectus or statement of additional 
information which may from time to time be 
filed with the SEC.

	8.	Term of the Agreement

	This Agreement shall become effective on the date hereof, shall 
have an initial term of one year from the date hereof, and shall 
continue for successive annual periods thereafter so long as such 
continuance is specifically approved at least annually by (a) the Fund's 
Board or (b) by a vote of a majority (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the 
Fund's outstanding voting securities, provided that in either event the 
continuance is also approved by a majority of the Board members of the 
Fund who are not interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of any 
party to this Agreement, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for 
the purpose of voting on such approval.  This Agreement is terminable 
with or without cause, without penalty, on 60 days' notice by the Fund's 
Board or by vote of holders of a majority of the relevant Series 
outstanding voting securities, or on 90 days' notice by you.  This 
Agreement will also terminate automatically, as to the relevant Series, 
in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act and the rules 
and regulations thereunder).

9. Arbitration

Any claim, controversy, dispute or deadlock arising under 
this Agreement (collectively, a "Dispute") shall be settled by 
arbitration administered under the rules of the American Arbitration 
Association ("AAA") in New York, New York.  Any arbitration and award of 
the arbitrators, or a majority of them, shall be final and the judgment 
upon the award rendered may be entered in any state or federal court 
having jurisdiction.  No punitive damages are to be awarded.
10.	Miscellaneous

	So long as you act as a principal underwriter and distributor of 
Shares, you shall not perform any services for any entity other than 
investment companies advised or administered by Citigroup Inc. or its 
subsidiaries.  The Fund recognizes that the persons employed by you to 
assist in the performance of your duties under this Agreement may not 
devote their full time to such service and nothing contained in this 
Agreement shall be deemed to limit or restrict the persons employed by 
you or any of your affiliates right to engage in and devote time and 
attention to other businesses or to render services of whatever kind or 
nature, provided, however, that in conducting such business or rendering 
such services your employees and affiliates would take reasonable steps 
to assure that the other parties involved are put on notice as to the 
legal entity with which they are dealing.  This Agreement and the terms 
and conditions set forth herein shall be governed by, and construed in 
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect 
to its conflict of interest principles.

	11.	Limitation of Liability  (Massachusetts business trusts 
only)

	The Fund and you agree that the obligations of the Fund under this 
Agreement shall not be binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders, 
nominees, officers, employees or agents, whether past, present or 
future, of the Fund, individually, but are binding only upon the assets 
and property of the Fund, as provided in the Master Trust Agreement.  
The execution and delivery of this Agreement have been authorized by the 
Trustees and signed by an authorized officer of the Fund, acting as 
such, and neither such authorization by such Trustees nor such execution 
and delivery by such officer shall be deemed to have been made by any of 
them individually or to impose any liability on any of them personally, 
but shall bind only the trust property of the Fund as provided in its 
Master Trust Agreement.

	If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, kindly 
indicate your acceptance of this Agreement by signing and returning to 
us the enclosed copy, whereupon this Agreement will become binding on 
you.

agent; and (e) accruals for interest on the amount of the foregoing 
expenses that exceed the Distribution Fee for that Class and, in the 
case of Class B and Class L shares, any contingent deferred sales 
charges received by Smith Barney; provided, however, that (i) the 
Distribution Fee for a particular Class may be used by Smith Barney 
only to cover expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of 
shares of that Class, including, without limitation, payments to the 
financial consultants of Smith Barney and other persons as 
compensation for the sale of the shares, and (ii) the Service Fees 
are intended to be used by Smith Barney primarily to pay its 
financial consultants for servicing shareholder accounts, including a 
continuing fee to each such financial consultant, which fee shall 
begin to accrue immediately after the sale of such shares.

	Section 3.  Approval by Shareholders

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

	Section 4.   Approval by [Trustees/Directors.]

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

	Section 5.  Continuance of the Plan.

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

	Section 6.  Termination.

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

	Section 7.  Amendments.

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

	Section 8.  Selection of Certain [Trustees/Directors].

	While the Plan is in effect, the selection and nomination of the 
[Trust's/Fund's] [Trustees/Directors] who are not interested persons 
of the [Trust/Fund] will be committed to the discretion of the 
[Trustees/Directors] then in office who are not interested persons of 
the [Trust/Fund].

	Section 9.  Written Reports

	In each year during which the Plan remains in effect, any person 
authorized to direct the disposition of monies paid or payable by the 
Fund pursuant to the Plan or any related agreement will prepare and 
furnish to the [Trust's/Fund's] Board of [Trustees/Directors] and the 
Board will review, at least quarterly, written reports complying with 
the requirements of the Rule, which set out the amounts expended 
under the Plan and the purposes for which those expenditures were 
made.

	Section 10.  Preservation of Materials.

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

	Section 11.  Meanings of Certain Terms.

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

	The obligations of the Trust under this Agreement shall not be 
binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, 
employees or agents, whether past, present or future, of the Trust,

authorized officer of the Trust, acting as such, and neither such 
authorization by such Trustees nor such execution by such officer

Agreement.

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

Introduction

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

I.  Distribution Arrangements and Service Fees

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

     	1.  Class A Shares

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

	2.  Class B Shares

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

3. Class D Shares

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

4.  Class L Shares 

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

5.  Class I Shares 

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

6.  Class O Shares 

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

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

    	7.  Class Y Shares

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

	8.  Class Z Shares

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

     	9.  Additional Classes of Shares

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

II.  Expense Allocations

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


III.  Conversion Rights of Class B Shares

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

Shares purchased through the reinvestment of dividends and other 
distributions paid in respect of Class B shares are also Class B 
shares.  However, for purposes of conversion to Class A, all Class 
B shares in a shareholder's Fund account that were purchased 
through the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions paid 
in respect of Class B shares (and that have not converted to Class 
A shares as provided in the following sentence) are considered to 
be held in a separate sub-account.  Each time any Class B shares 
in the shareholder's Fund account (other than those in the sub-
account referred to in the preceding 
sentence) convert to Class A, a pro rata portion of the Class B 
shares then in the sub-account also converts to Class A.  The 
portion is determined by the ratio that the shareholder's Class B 
shares converting to Class A bears to the shareholder's total 
Class B shares not acquired through dividends and distributions.

The conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares is subject to 
the continuing availability of a ruling of the Internal Revenue 
Service that payment of different dividends on Class A and Class B 
shares does not result in the Fund's dividends or distributions 
constituting "preferential dividends" under the Internal Revenue 
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the continuing 
availability of an opinion of counsel to the effect that the 
conversion of shares does not constitute a taxable event under the 
Code.  The conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares may be 
suspended if this opinion is no longer available,  In the event 
that conversion of Class B shares does not occur, Class B shares 
would continue to be subject to the distribution fee and any 
incrementally higher transfer agency costs attending the Class B 
shares for an indefinite period.

IV.	Exchange Privileges

Shareholders of a Fund may exchange their shares at net asset 
value for shares of the same Class in certain other of the Smith 
Barney Mutual Funds as set forth in the prospectus for such Fund.  
Funds only permit exchanges into shares of money market funds 
having a plan under the Rule if, as permitted by paragraph (b) (5) 
of Rule 11a-3 under the 1940 Act, either (i) the time period 
during which the shares of the money market funds are held is 
included in the calculations of the CDSC or (ii) the time period 
is not included but the amount of the CDSC is reduced by the 
amount of any payments made under a plan adopted pursuant to the 
Rule by the money market funds with respects to those shares.  
Currently, the Funds include the time period during which shares 
of the money market fund are held in the CDSC period.  The 
exchange privileges applicable to all Classes of shares must 
comply with Rule 11a-3 under the 1940 Act.
