  The Smith Barney S&P 500 Index Fund (the "Fund") seeks to provide investment 
results that correspond to the price and yield performance of the Standard & 
Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index ("S&P 500 Index"), which is representa- 
tive of the U.S. stock market. The Fund will hold a broadly diversified portfo- 
lio of common stocks that is comparable to the S&P 500 Index in terms of eco- 
nomic sector weightings, market capitalization and liquidity.

tives and policies making up the Smith Barney Investment Trust (the "Trust"). 
The Trust is an open-end management investment company commonly referred to as

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY 
    
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by detailed information 
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus and in the SAI. Cross references in this 
summary are to headings in the Prospectus. See "Table of Contents."      
  
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The Fund is an open-end, diversified management investment 
company whose investment objective is to seek a total return that is consistent 
with the return of the aggregate U.S. stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 
Index. The Fund will hold a broadly diversified portfolio of common stocks that 
is comparable to the S&P 500 Index in terms of economic sector weightings, mar- 
ket capitalization and liquidity. See "Investment Objective and Management Pol- 
icies." 
    
PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS The Fund offers two classes of shares: Class A and Class 
D. Both Class A and D shares are sold at net asset value without a sales 
charge. Class D Shares are offered to a limited group of investors who partici- 
pate in certain investment programs which charge a fee for participation. In 
addition, Class D Shares are offered to Travelers Group Inc. ("Travelers") and 
its subsidiaries and their directors and employees and the Board of SBMFM- 
advised investment companies. Class A shares are subject to an annual service 
fee of 0.20% of the average daily net assets of this Class. Class D Shares are 
not subject to any service fees.      
    
  See "Purchase of Shares," "Management of the Fund," "Valuation of Shares," 
and "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes" for other information.      
  
PURCHASE OF SHARES Shares may be purchased through the Fund's distributor, 
Smith Barney, a broker that clears securities transactions through Smith Barney 
on a fully disclosed basis (an "Introducing Broker") or an investment dealer in 
the selling group. In addition, certain investors, including qualified retire- 
ment plans and certain other institutional investors may purchase shares 
directly from the Fund through the Fund's transfer agent, First Data Investor 
Services Group, Inc. ("First Data"). See "Purchase of Shares." 
  
INVESTMENT MINIMUMS Investors may open an account by making an initial invest- 
ment of at least $1,000 for each account, or $250 for an individual retirement 
account ("IRA") or a Self-Employed Retirement Plan. Subsequent investments of 
at least $50 may be made. The minimum investment requirements for purchases of 
Shares through the Systematic Investment Plan are described below. See "Pur- 
chase of Shares." 
    
SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN The Fund offers shareholders a Systematic Investment 
Plan under which they may authorize the automatic placement of a purchase order 
each month or quarter for Fund shares. The minimum initial investment require- 
ment and the subsequent investment requirement for share     -

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY (CONTINUED) 
  
holders purchasing shares through the Systematic Investment Plan on a monthly 
basis is $25 and on a quarterly basis is $50. See "Purchase of Shares." 
  
REDEMPTION OF SHARES Shares may be redeemed on each day the New York Stock 
Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") is open for business. See "Purchase of Shares" and "Re- 
demption of Shares." 
    
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND The Travelers Investment Management Company 
("TIMCO") or 
(the "Manager") serves as the Fund's investment adviser. The Manager provides 
investment advisory and management services to certain investment companies 
affiliated with Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney") The Manager is a wholly 
owned subsidiary of Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"). Holdings is a 
wholly owned subsidiary of Travelers, a diversified financial services holding 
company engaged, through its subsidiaries, principally in four business seg- 
ments: Investment Services, Consumer Finance Services, Life Insurance Services 
and Property & Casualty Insurance Services.      
  
  Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("SBMFM") serves as the Fund's 
administrator. SBMFM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings. SBMFM provides 
investment advisory and administration services to investment companies affili- 
ated with Smith Barney. See "Management of the Fund." 
    
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE Shareholders of certain fee based programs and/or employee- 
sponsored retirement plans are allowed to exchange Class D shares for other 
classes of another Smith Barney Mutual Fund.      
  
VALUATION OF SHARES Net asset value of the Fund for the prior day generally is 
quoted daily in the financial section of most newspapers and is also available 
from a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. See "Valuation of Shares." 
    
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS Dividends from net investment income, if any, are 
paid annually. Distributions of net realized long and short-term capital gains, 
if any, are declared and paid annually. See "Dividends, Distributions and 
Taxes."      
  
REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS Dividends and distributions paid on shares will be 
reinvested automatically in additional shares at current net asset value unless 
otherwise specified by an investor. 
    
RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS An investment in the Fund should be 
considered a long-term holding and subject to all the risks associated with 
investing in equity securities. The market value of the Fund's portfolio 
securities and, therefore, the Fund's net asset value per share, will increase 
or decrease due to a variety of economic, market or political factors which 
cannot be predicted. The Fund operates as a "pure" index fund and will 
therefore not

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY (CONTINUED) 
    
be actively managed; as such, the adverse performance of a portfolio security 
will ordinarily not result in the elimination of the security from the Fund's 
portfolio. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, may lend its 
portfolio securities and may utilize transactions involving stock index futures 
which may be considered speculative in nature and may involve greater risks 
than those customarily assumed by other investment companies which do not 
invest in such instruments. An investment in shares of the Fund should not be 
considered a complete investment program and is not appropriate for all 
investors. Investors should carefully consider their ability to assume these 
risks before making an investment in the Fund. There can be no assurance that 
the Fund's investment objective will be achieved. The value of the Fund's 
investments, and thus the net asset value of the Fund's shares, will fluctuate 
in response to changes in market and economic conditions, as well as the 
financial condition and prospects of issuers in which the Fund invests.      
  
THE FUND'S EXPENSES The following expense table lists the costs and estimated 
expenses that an investor will incur either directly or indirectly as a 
shareholder of the Fund based, unless otherwise noted, on the Fund's estimated 
operating expenses.

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

An investor would pay the following expenses on a $1,000 
investment, assuming (1) 5.00% annual return and (2) redemption 
at the end of each time period: 
 Class A shares                                                    $6     $19 
 Class D shares                                                     4      13 
An investor would pay the following expenses on the same 
investment, assuming the same annual return and no redemption: 
 Class A shares                                                    $6     $19 
 Class D shares                                                     4      13 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
</TABLE>     
  
  The example also provides a means for the investor to compare expense levels 
of funds with different fee structures over varying investment periods. To 
facilitate such comparison, all funds are required to utilize a 5.00% annual 
return assumption. However, the Fund's actual return will vary and may be 
greater or less than 5.00%. THIS EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A 
REPRESENTA- 
TION OF PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES AND ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE 
GREATER OR LESS THAN 
THOSE SHOWN ABOVE. 
  
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES 
    
  The Fund seeks to provide investment results that, before expenses, corre- 
spond to the price and yield performance of the S&P 500 Index, which is repre- 
sentative of the U.S. stock market. The Fund will hold a broadly diversified 
portfolio of common stocks that is comparable to the S&P 500 Index in terms of 
economic sector weightings, market capitalization and liquidity.      
    
  The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing, under normal circum- 
stances, at least 80% of its total assets in common stocks included in the S&P 
500 Index in approximately the same weightings as the S&P 500 Index. The Fund 
intends to invest in substantially all of the stocks that comprise the S&P 500 
Index in approximately the same weightings as they are represented in the S&P 
500 Index. The Fund operates as a "pure" index fund and will not be actively 
managed; as such, adverse performance of a security will ordinarily not result 
in the elimination of the security from the Fund's portfolio. The Fund will 
remain invested in common stocks even when stock prices are generally falling. 
Ordinarily, portfolio securities will not be sold except to reflect additions 
or deletions of the stocks that comprise the S&P 500 Index, including mergers, 
reorganizations and similar transactions, or as may be necessary to satisfy 
redemption requests.      
        
6 
<PAGE> 
  
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED) 
  
  
  The Fund will be reviewed daily and adjusted, when necessary, to maintain 
security weightings as close to those of the S&P 500 Index as possible, given 
the amount of assets in the Fund at that time. 
  
  No attempt will be made to manage the Fund in the traditional sense using 
economic, financial and market analysis, nor will the adverse financial situa- 
tion of an issuer necessarily result in the elimination of its securities from 
the Fund, unless the securities are removed from the S&P 500. From time to 
time, administrative adjustments may be made in the Fund because of changes in 
the composition of the S&P 500 Index. 
    
  The S&P 500 Index is a market capitalization index composed of 500 widely 
held common stocks listed on the NYSE, American Stock Exchange and the over- 
the-counter market. The S&P 500 Index is used as the performance benchmark 
because it represents approximately 70% of the total market value of all U.S. 
common stocks and is well known to investors; because it is unmanaged it is not 
subject to the same management and trading expenses as a mutual fund. Over 
time, the Fund is expected to exhibit performance volatility that is similar to 
that of the S&P 500 Index. Of course, there can be no assurance that the Fund's 
total return, before or after expenses, will match or exceed that of the S&P 
500 Index.      
  
  Further information about the Fund's investment policies, including a list of 
those restrictions on its investment activities that cannot be changed without 
shareholder approval, appears in the Statement of Additional Information. 
  
  INVESTMENTS AND STRATEGIES 
    
  The ability of the Fund to meet its investment objective depends to some 
extent on the Manager's ability to manage cash flows (primarily from purchases 
and redemptions and distributions from the Fund's portfolio investments). Gen- 
erally, the Manager will employ stock index futures to provide liquidity neces- 
sary to meet anticipated redemptions or for day-to-day operating purposes. In 
addition, a portion of the Fund's assets not exceeding 20% of its total assets 
may be invested in money market instruments. The Manager will also make invest- 
ment changes to the Fund's portfolio to accommodate cash flows while continuing 
to seek to replicate the total return of the S&P 500 Index. Investors should 
also be aware that the investment performance of the S&P 500 Index is a hypo- 
thetical number which does not take into account brokerage commission and other 
transaction costs, custody and other costs of investing, which will be borned 
by the Fund, and any incremental operating costs borne by the Fund. Finally, 
since the Fund seeks to provide investment results that, before expenses, cor- 
respond to the total return of the S&P 500 Index, the Manager will generally 
not attempt to judge the merits of any particular security as an investment. 
     
                                                                    7 
<PAGE> 
  
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED) 
    
  Money Market Instruments. A portion of the Fund's assets, not exceeding 20% 
of its total assets, may be invested temporarily in money market instruments 
under any one or more of the following circumstances: (a) pending investment of 
proceeds of sale of shares of the Fund; (b) pending settlement of purchases of 
portfolio securities; or (c) to maintain liquidity for the purpose of meeting 
anticipated redemptions. The Fund may invest in short-term money market 
instruments, such as: U.S. government securities; certificates of deposit, time 
deposits and bankers' acceptances issued by domestic banks (including their 
branches located outside the United States and subsidiaries located in Canada), 
domestic branches of foreign banks, savings and loan associations and similar 
institutions; high grade commercial paper; and repurchase agreements with 
respect to such instruments.      
    
  Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with 
banks which are the issuers of instruments acceptable for purchase by the Fund 
and with certain dealers on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's list of 
reporting dealers. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, the Fund 
would acquire an underlying obligation for a relatively short period (usually 
not more than one week) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, 
and the Fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time, 
thereby determining the yield during the Fund's holding period. This arrange- 
ment results in a fixed rate of return that is not subject to market fluctua- 
tions during the Fund's holding period. Further information on repurchase 
agreements and the risks associated with such investments appears in the SAI. 
        
  Stock Index Futures Contracts. The Fund may purchase or sell stock index 
futures contracts ("futures contracts") that are traded on U.S. commodity 
exchanges on the S&P 500 Index ("stock index" futures). As a futures contract 
purchaser, the Fund incurs an obligation to take delivery of a specified amount 
of the obligation underlying the contract at a specified time in the future for 
a specified price. As a seller of a futures contract, the Fund incurs an obli- 
gation to deliver the specified amount of the underlying to deliver the speci- 
fied amount of the underlying obligation at a specified time in return for an 
agreed upon price. The Fund will purchase or sell stock index futures for the 
following reasons: to simulate full investment in the S&P 500 Index while 
retaining a cash balance for fund management purposes, to facilitate trading, 
to reduce transaction costs or to seek higher investment returns when a futures 
contract is priced more attractively than stocks comprising the S&P 500 Index. 
The Fund may enter into such instruments provided that not more than 5% of its 
assets are required as an initial margin deposit and provided that the contract 
prices of the stock index futures contracts do not exceed 20% of its total 
assets. While such instruments can be used as leveraged investments, the Fund 
may not use them to leverage its assets.

<PAGE> 
  
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES (CONTINUED) 
           
  All stock index futures will be traded on exchanges that are licensed and 
regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"). To ensure that 
its futures transactions meet CFTC standards, the Fund will enter into futures 
contracts for hedging purposes only. For a more detailed discussion of finan- 
cial futures contracts and associated risks, please see the SAI.      
    
  Lending Securities. Consistent with applicable regulation requirements, the 
Fund may lend securities it holds to brokers, dealers and other financial orga- 
nizations. The Fund's loans of securities will be collateralized by cash, let- 
ters of credit or government securities that are maintained at all times in a 
segregated account with the Fund's custodian in an amount at least equal to the 
current market value of the loaned securities. By lending its portfolio securi- 
ties, the Fund will seek to generate income by continuing to receive interest 
on the loaned securities, by investing the cash collateral in short-term 
instruments or by obtaining yield in the form of interest paid by the borrower 
when government securities are used as collateral. The risks in lending portfo- 
lio securities, as with other extensions of secured credit, consist of possible 
delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the securities 
or possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail finan- 
cially. Loans will be made to firms deemed by the Manager to be of good stand- 
ing and will not be made unless, in the judgment of the Manager, the considera- 
tion to be earned from such loans would justify the risk.      
  
  Portfolio Transactions and Turnover. The Manager arranges for the purchase 
and sale of the Fund's securities and selects brokers and dealers (including 
Smith Barney), which in its best judgment provide prompt and reliable execution 
at favorable prices and reasonable commission rates. The Manager may select 
brokers and dealers which provide it with research services and may cause the 
Fund to pay such brokers and dealers commissions which exceed those other bro- 
kers and dealers may have charged, if it views the commissions as reasonable in 
relation to the value of the brokerage and/or research services. In selecting a 
broker, including Smith Barney, for a transaction, the primary consideration is 
prompt and effective execution of orders at the most favorable prices. Subject 
to that primary consideration, dealers may be selected for research, statisti- 
cal or other services to enable the Manager to supplement its own research and 
analysis. Portfolio turnover is expected to be lower than for most other 
investment companies. 
    
  The Fund intends generally to purchase securities for long-term capital 
appreciation. The Fund's portfolio turnover rate will vary from year to year. 
High turnover rates increase transaction costs and may increase taxable capital 
gains. The Manager considers these effects when evaluating the anticipated ben- 
efits of short-term investing.

VALUATION OF SHARES 
  
  
  The Fund's net asset value per share is determined as of the close of regular 
trading on the NYSE, on each day that the NYSE is open, by dividing the value 
of the Fund's net assets by the total number of shares outstanding. 
    
  Generally, the Fund's investments are valued at market value or, in the 
absence of a market value with respect to any securities, at fair value as 
determined by or under the direction of the Trust's Board of Trustees. Short- 
term investments that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost 
whenever the Trust's Board of Trustees determines that amortized cost is the 
fair value of those instruments. Further information regarding the Fund's valu- 
ation policies is contained in the SAI.      
  
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES 
  
  
 DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS 
  
  The Fund's policy is to distribute substantially all its net investment 
income (that is, its income other than its net realized capital gains) and net 
realized capital gains, if any, once a year, normally at the end of the year in 
which earned or at the beginning of the next year. 
  
  If a shareholder does not otherwise instruct, dividends and capital gains 
distributions will be reinvested automatically in additional shares at net 
asset value. 
  
  Income dividends and capital gain distributions that are invested are 
credited to shareholders' accounts in additional shares at the net asset value 
as of the close of business on the payment date. A shareholder may change the 
option at any time by notifying a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. Accounts 
held directly by First Data should notify First Data in writing at least five 
business days prior to the payment date to permit the change to be entered in 
the shareholder's account. If a shareholder redeems in full an account between 
payment dates, all dividends accrued to the date of liquidation will be paid 
with the proceeds from the redemption of shares. 
  
 TAXES 
    
  The Fund intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under 
Subchapter M of the Code to be relieved of Federal income tax on that part of 
its net investment income and realized capital gains which it pays out to its 
shareholders. To qualify, the Fund must meet certain tests, including distrib- 
uting at least 90% of its investment company taxable income.      
  
10 
<PAGE> 
  
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES (CONTINUED) 
    
  Dividends paid from net investment income and distributions of net realized 
short-term capital gains on the sale of securities, whether paid in cash or 
automatically invested in additional shares of the Fund, are taxable to share- 
holders of the Fund as ordinary income. Distributions out of net long-term cap- 
ital gains (i.e. net long-term capital gains in excess of net short-term capi- 
tal losses) are taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gains. Information 
as to the tax status of dividends paid or deemed paid in each calendar year 
including eligibility of long-term capital gains dividends for a reduced maxi- 
mum 20% tax rate, will be mailed to shareholders as early in the succeeding 
year as practical but not later than January 31.      
  
  The Fund is required to withhold and remit to the U.S. Treasury 31% of divi- 
dends, distributions and redemption proceeds to shareholders who fail to pro- 
vide a correct taxpayer identification number (the Social Security number in 
the case of an individual) or to make the required certifications, or who have 
been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that they are subject to backup 
withholding and who are not otherwise exempt. The 31% withholding tax is not an 
additional tax, but is creditable against a shareholder's Federal income tax 
liability. 
    
  Prior to investing in shares of the Fund, investors should consult their tax 
advisors concerning the Federal, state and local tax consequences of such an 
investment.      
  
PURCHASE OF SHARES 
  
  
 GENERAL 
    
  Class A and Class D shares are sold to investors at net asset value with no 
initial sales charge. Class A shares are subject to ongoing service fee.      
  
  Purchases of Fund shares must be made through a brokerage account maintained 
with Smith Barney, with an Introducing Broker or with an investment dealer in 
the selling group. In addition, certain investors may purchase shares directly 
from the Fund through First Data. Smith Barney and other broker/dealers may 
charge their customers an annual account maintenance fee in connection with a 
brokerage account through which an investor purchases or holds shares. Accounts 
held directly at First Data are not subject to a maintenance fee. 
    
  Investors may open an account in the Fund by making an initial investment of 
at least $1,000 for each account, or $250 for an IRA or a Self-employed Retire- 
ment Plan. Subsequent investments of at least $50 may be made. For      
  
                                                              11 
<PAGE> 
  
PURCHASE OF SHARES (CONTINUED) 
  
shareholders purchasing shares of the Fund through the Systematic Investment 
Plan, the minimum initial investment requirement is $25 for monthly purchases 
and $50 for quarterly purchases. There are no minimum investment requirements 
for employees of Travelers and its subsidiaries, including Smith Barney, and 
Directors or Trustees of any of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds and their 
spouses and children. The Fund reserves the right to waive or change minimums, 
to decline any order to purchase its shares and to suspend the offering of 
shares from time to time. Employees of members of the National Association of 
Securities Dealers, Inc. may purchase shares of the Fund at net asset value. 
Shares purchased will be held in the shareholder's account by the Fund's 
transfer agent, First Data. Share certificates are issued only upon a share- 
holder's written request to First Data. 
  
  The minimum initial and subsequent investment requirements in the Fund for 
an account established under the Uniform Gift to Minors Act is $250 and the 
subsequent investment requirement is $50. 
        
  Purchase orders received by the Fund or Smith Barney prior to the close of 
regular trading on the NYSE, on any day the Fund calculates its net asset val- 
ue, are priced according to the net asset value determined on that day (the 
"trade date"). Orders received by dealers or Introducing Brokers prior to the 
close of regular trading on the NYSE on any day the Fund calculates its net 
asset value, are priced according to the net asset value determined on that 
day, provided the order is received by the Fund or Smith Barney prior to Smith 
Barney's close of business (the "trade date"). For shares purchased through 
Smith Barney or Introducing Brokers purchasing through Smith Barney, payment 
for Fund shares is due on the third business day (the "settlement date") after 
the trade date. In all other cases, payment must be made with the purchase 
order. 
  
 SYSTEMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN 
  
  Shareholders may make additions to their accounts at any time by purchasing 
shares through a service known as the Systematic Investment Plan. Under the 
Systematic Investment Plan, Smith Barney or First Data is authorized through 
preauthorized transfers of at least $25 on a monthly basis or at least $50 on 
a quarterly basis to charge the regular bank account or other financial insti- 
tution indicated by the shareholder, to provide systematic additions to the 
shareholder's Fund account. A shareholder who has insufficient funds to com- 
plete the transfer will be charged a fee of up to $25 by Smith Barney or First 
Data. The Systematic Investment Plan also authorizes Smith Barney to apply 
cash held in the shareholder's Smith Barney brokerage account or redeem the 
shareholder's shares of a Smith Barney money market fund to make additions to 
the account. Additional information is available from the Fund or a Smith Bar- 
ney Financial Consultant.

<PAGE> 
  
REDEMPTION OF SHARES 
        
  The Fund is required to redeem the shares of the Fund tendered to it, as 
described below, at a redemption price equal to their net asset value per 
share next determined after receipt of a written request in proper form at no 
charge. Redemption requests received after the close of regular trading on the 
NYSE are priced at the net asset value next determined. 
           
  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 Smith Barney, or 
if the shareholder's account is not with Smith Barney, from the shareholder 
directly. The redemption proceeds will be remitted on or before the third 
business day following receipt of proper tender, except on any days on which 
the NYSE is closed or as permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, 
as amended, (the "1940 Act"), in extraordinary circumstances. Generally, if 
the redemption proceeds are remitted to a Smith Barney brokerage account, 
these funds will not be invested for the shareholder's benefit without spe- 
cific instruction and Smith Barney will benefit from the use of temporarily 
uninvested funds. Redemption proceeds for shares purchased by check, other 
than a certified or official bank check, will be remitted upon clearance of 
the check, which may take up to ten days or more.      
  
  Shares held by Smith Barney as custodian must be redeemed by submitting a 
written request to a Smith Barney Financial Consultant. Shares other than 
those held by Smith Barney as custodian may be redeemed through an investor's 
Financial Consultant, Introducing Broker or dealer in the selling group or by 
submitting a written request for redemption to: 
  
  Smith Barney S&P 500 Index Fund 
  c/o First Data Investor Services Group, Inc. 
  P.O. Box 5128 
  Westborough, Massachusetts 01581-5128 
    
  A written redemption request must (a) state the Class and number or dollar 
amount of shares to be redeemed, (b) identify the shareholder's account number 
and (c) be signed by each registered owner exactly as the shares are regis- 
tered. If the shares to be redeemed were issued in certificate form, the cer- 
tificates must be endorsed for transfer (or be accompanied by an endorsed 
stock power) and must be submitted to First Data together with the redemption 
request. Any signature appearing on a written redemption request in excess of 
$2,000, or share certificate stock power must be guaranteed by an eligible 
guarantor institution, such as a domestic bank, savings and loan institution, 
domestic credit union, member bank of the Federal Reserve System or member 
firm of a national secu     - 
  
                                                                             13

REDEMPTION OF SHARES (CONTINUED) 
  
rities exchange. Written redemption requests of $2,000 or less do not require a 
signature guarantee unless more than one such redemption request is made in any 
10-day period. Redemption proceeds will be mailed to an investor's address of 
record. First Data may require additional supporting 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. 
  
 TELEPHONE REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE PROGRAM 
    
  Shareholders who do not have a Smith Barney brokerage account may be eligible 
to redeem Fund shares by telephone. To determine if a shareholder is entitled 
to participate in this program, he or she should contact First Data at 1-800- 
451-2010. Once eligibility is confirmed, the shareholder must complete and 
return a Telephone/Wire Authorization Form, along with a signature guarantee 
that will be provided by First Data upon request. (Alternatively, an investor 
may authorize telephone redemptions on the new account application with the 
applicant's signature guarantee when making his/her initial investment to the 
Fund.)      
    
  Redemptions. Redemption requests of up to $10,000 of the Fund's shares may be 
made by eligible shareholders by calling First Data at 1-800-451-2010. Such 
requests may be made between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on 
any day the NYSE is open. Redemption requests received after the close of regu- 
lar trading on the NYSE are priced at the net asset value next determined. 
Redemption of shares (i) by retirement plans or (ii) for which certificates 
have been issued are not permitted under this program.      
  
  A shareholder will have the option of having the redemption proceeds mailed 
to his/her address of record or wired to a bank account predesignated by the 
shareholder. Generally, redemption proceeds will be mailed or wired, as the 
case may be, on the next business day following the redemption request. In 
order to use the wire procedures, the bank receiving the proceeds must be a 
member of the Federal Reserve System or have a correspondent relationship with 
a member bank. The Fund reserves the right to charge shareholders a nominal fee 
for each wire redemption. Such charges, if any, will be assessed against the 
shareholder's account from which were redeemed. In order to change the bank 
account designated to receive redemption proceeds, a shareholder must complete 
a new Telephone/Wire Authorization Form and, for the protection of the share- 
holder's assets, will be required to provide a signature guarantee and certain 
other documentation. 
           
  Additional Information regarding Telephone Redemption Program. Neither the 
Fund nor its agents will be liable for following instructions communicated

by telephone that are reasonably believed to be genuine. The Fund and its 
agents will employ procedures designed to verify the identity of the caller and 
legitimacy of instructions (for example, a shareholder's name and account num- 
ber will be required and phone calls may be recorded). The Fund reserves the 
right to suspend, modify or discontinue the telephone redemption program or 
impose a charge for this service at any time following at least seven (7) days' 
prior notice to shareholders.      
  
 AUTOMATIC CASH WITHDRAWAL PLAN 
  
  The Fund offers shareholders an automatic cash withdrawal plan, under which 
shareholders who own shares with a value of at least $10,000 may elect to 
receive periodic cash payments of at least $50 monthly or quarterly. Retirement 
plan accounts are eligible for automatic cash withdrawal plans only where the 
shareholder is eligible to receive qualified distributions and has an account 
value of at least $5,000. The withdrawal plan will be carried over on exchanges 
between funds. For further information regarding the automatic cash withdrawal 
plan, shareholders should contact their Smith Barney Financial Consultants. 
  
MINIMUM ACCOUNT SIZE 
  
  
  The Fund reserves the right to involuntarily liquidate any shareholder's 
account in the Fund if the aggregate net asset value of the shares held in the 
Fund account is less than $500. (If a shareholder has more than one account in 
this Fund, each account must satisfy the minimum account size). The Fund, how- 
ever, will not redeem shares based solely on market reductions in net asset 
value. Before the Fund exercises such right, shareholders will receive written 
notice and will be permitted 60 days to bring accounts up to the minimum to 
avoid involuntary liquidation. 
  
PERFORMANCE 
  
  
  From time to time the Fund may include its total return, average annual total 
return and current dividend return in advertisements and/or other types of 
sales literature. These figures will be based on historical earnings and will 
not be intended to indicate future performance. Total return is computed for a 
specified period of time assuming deduction of the maximum sales charge, if 
any, from the initial amount invested and reinvestment of all income dividends 
and capital gain distributions on the reinvestment dates at prices calculated 
as stated in this Prospectus, then dividing the value of the investment at the 
end of the 
  
                                                               15 
<PAGE> 
  
PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED) 
    
period so calculated by the initial amount invested and subtracting 100%. The 
standard average annual total return, as prescribed by the SEC, is derived 
from this total return, which provides the ending redeemable value. Such stan- 
dard total return information may also be accompanied with nonstandard total 
return information for differing periods computed in the same manner but with- 
out annualizing the total return or taking sales charges into account. The 
Fund calculates current dividend return by annualizing the most recent monthly 
distribution and dividing by the net asset value on the last day of the period 
for which current dividend return is presented. The current dividend return 
may vary from time to time depending on market conditions, the composition of 
the Fund's investment portfolio and operating expenses. These factors and pos- 
sible differences in the methods used in calculating current dividend return 
should be considered when comparing current return to yields published for 
other investment companies and other investment vehicles. The Fund may also 
include comparative performance information when advertising or marketing its 
shares. Such performance information may include data from Lipper Analytical 
Services, Inc. and other financial publications.      
  
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND 
  
  
 BOARD OF TRUSTEES 
    
  Overall responsibility for management and supervision of the Fund rests with 
the Trust's Board of Trustees. The Trustees approve all significant agreements 
between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the companies that furnish serv- 
ices to the Fund, including agreements with its distributor, investment advis- 
er, custodian and transfer agent. The day-to-day operations of the Fund are 
delegated to the Fund's investment adviser and administrator. The SAI contains 
background information regarding each Trustee of the Trust and the executive 
officers of the Fund.      
  
 MANAGER -- TIMCO 
    
  The Manager, located at One Tower Square, Hartford, Connecticut 06183-203, 
serves as the Fund's investment adviser and manages the day-to-day operations 
of the Fund pursuant to a management agreement entered into by the Manager and 
the Fund. The Manager, which is a registered investment adviser, has been in 
the investment counseling business since 1967 and renders investment advice to 
investment companies that had aggregate assets under management as of October 
31, 1997, in excess of $1.6 billion.      
  
  Subject to the supervision and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees, 
the Manager manages the Fund's portfolio in accordance with the Fund's stated 
  
16

MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND (CONTINUED) 
  
investment objective and policies, makes investment decisions for the Fund, 
places orders to purchase and sell securities and employs professional portfo- 
lio managers and securities analysts who provide research services to the 
Fund. 
  
  Investment advisory fees are computed daily and paid monthly at the annual 
rate of 0.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets. 
  
 PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT 
    
  The investment management team of the Fund's Manager is headed by Sandip 
Bhagat, president and chief investment officer, of the Manager. Messrs. Bhagat 
and John Lau, a portfolio manager at the Manager, are primarily responsible 
for the day-to-day operations of the Fund, including making all investment 
decisions.      
  
 ADMINISTRATOR 
  
  SBMFM, located at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013, serves as 
the Fund's administrator and oversees all aspects of the Fund's administration 
and operation. Administration fees are computed daily and paid monthly at the 
annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund's average daily net assets. 
  
DISTRIBUTOR 
    
  Smith Barney distributes shares of the Fund as a principal underwriter and 
as such conducts a continuous offering pursuant to a "best efforts" arrange- 
ment requiring Smith Barney to take and pay for only such securities as may be 
sold to the public. Pursuant to a plan of distribution adopted by the Fund 
under Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Plan"), Smith Barney is paid an 
annual service fee with respect to Class A shares of the Fund at the annual 
rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets of that Class. The fees are used 
by Smith Barney to pay its Financial Consultants for servicing shareholder 
accounts.      
  
  The payments to Smith Barney Financial Consultants for selling shares 
include a commission or fee paid by the investor or Smith Barney at the time 
of sale and a continuing fee for servicing shareholder accounts for as long as 
a shareholder remains a shareholder. 
    
  Payments under the Plan are not tied exclusively to the shareholder service 
expenses actually incurred by Smith Barney and the payments may exceed 
expenses actually incurred. The Trust's Board of Trustees will evaluate the 
appropriateness of the Plan and its payment terms on a continuing basis and in 
so doing will consider all relevant factors, including expenses borne by Smith 
Barney and amounts received under the Plan.      
  
                                                                             17 
<PAGE> 
  
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 
  
  
  
  The Trust was organized on October 17, 1991 under the laws of the Common- 
wealth of Massachusetts and is a business entity commonly known as a "Massa- 
chusetts business trust." 
  
  PNC Bank, National Association, located at 17th and Chestnut Streets, Phila- 
delphia, Pennsylvania 19103, serves as custodian of the Fund's investments. 
  
  First Data, located at Exchange Place, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, serves 
as the Fund's transfer agent. 
    
  The Trust does not hold annual shareholder meetings. There normally will be 
no meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees unless and 
until such time as less than a majority of the Trustees holding office have 
been elected by shareholders. The Trustees will call a meeting for any purpose 
upon written request of shareholders holding at least 10% of the Fund's out- 
standing shares and the Fund will assist shareholders in calling such a meet- 
ing as required by the 1940 Act. When matters are submitted for shareholder 
vote, shareholders will have one vote for each full share owned and a propor- 
tionate, fractional vote for any fractional share held. Generally, shares of 
the Fund will be voted on a Fund-wide basis on all matters.      
  
  The Fund sends its shareholders a semi-annual report and an audited annual 
report, each of which includes a list of the investment securities held by the 
Fund at the end of the reporting period. In an effort to reduce the Fund's 
printing and mailing costs, the Fund plans to consolidate the mailing of its 
semi-annual and annual reports by household. This consolidation means that a 
household having multiple accounts with the identical address of record will 
receive a single copy of each report. In addition, the Fund plans to consoli- 
date the mailing of its Prospectuses so that a shareholder having multiple 
accounts (that is, individual, IRA and/or Self-Employed Retirement Plan 
accounts) will receive a single Prospectus annually. When the Fund's annual 
report is combined with the Prospectus into a single document, the Fund will 
mail the combined document to each shareholder to comply with legal require- 
ments. Shareholders who do not want this consolidation to apply to their 
accounts should contact their Smith Barney Financial Consultant or the Fund's 
transfer agent.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES

The Prospectus discusse discusses the Fund's investment objective and the 
policies it employs to achieve its objective. This section contains 
supplemental information concerning the types of securities and other 
instruments in which the Fund may invest, the investment policies and 
portfolio strategies that the Fund may utilize and certain risks attendant to 
such investments, policies and strategies.

Money Market Instruments.  The Fund may invest in corporate and government 
bonds and notes and money market instruments. Money market instruments in 
which the Fund may invest include: obligations issued or guaranteed by the 
United States government, its agencies or instrumentalities ("U.S. government 
securities"); certificates of deposit, time deposits and bankers' acceptances 
issued by domestic banks (including their branches located outside the United 
States and subsidiaries located in Canada), domestic branches of foreign 
banks, savings and loan associations and similar institutions; high grade 
commercial paper; and repurchase agreements with respect to the foregoing 
types of instruments. The following is a more detailed description of such 
money market instruments.

Certificates of deposit ("CDs") are short-term, negotiable obligations of 
commercial banks. Time deposits ("TDs") are non-negotiable deposits maintained 
in banking institutions for specified periods of time at stated interest 
rates. Bankers' acceptances are time drafts drawn on commercial banks by 
borrowers, usually in connection with international transactions.

Domestic commercial banks organized under Federal law are supervised and 
examined by the Comptroller of the Currency and are required to be members of 
the Federal Reserve System and to be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance 
Corporation (the "FDIC"). Domestic banks organized under state law are 
supervised and examined by state banking authorities but are members of the 
Federal Reserve System only if they elect to join. Most state banks are 
insured by the FDIC (although such insurance may not be of material benefit to 
the Fund, depending upon the principal amount of CDs of each bank held by the 
Fund) and are subject to Federal examination and to a substantial body of 
Federal law and regulation. As a result of governmental regulations, domestic 
branches of domestic banks are, among other things, generally required to 
maintain specified levels of reserves, and are subject to other supervision 
and regulation designed to promote financial soundness.

Obligations of foreign branches of domestic banks, such as CDs and TDs, may be 
general obligations of the parent bank in addition to the issuing branch, or 
may be limited by the terms of a specific obligation and governmental 
regulation. Such obligations are subject to different risks than are those of 
domestic banks or domestic branches of foreign banks. These risks include 
foreign economic and political developments, foreign governmental restrictions 
that may adversely affect payment of principal and interest on the 
obligations, foreign exchange controls and foreign withholding and other taxes 
on interest income. Foreign branches of domestic banks are not necessarily 
subject to the same or similar regulatory requirements that apply to domestic 
banks, such as mandatory reserve requirements, loan limitations, and 
accounting, auditing and financial recordkeeping requirements. In addition, 
less information may be publicly available about a foreign branch of a 
domestic bank than about a domestic bank. CDs issued by wholly owned Canadian 
subsidiaries of domestic banks are guaranteed as to repayment of principal and 
interest (but not as to sovereign risk) by the domestic parent bank.

Obligations of domestic branches of foreign banks may be general obligations 
of the parent bank in addition to the issuing branch, or may be limited by the 
terms of a specific obligation and by Federal and state regulation as well as 
governmental action in the country in which the foreign bank has its head 
office. A domestic branch of a foreign bank with assets in excess of $1 
billion may or may not be subject to reserve requirements imposed by the 
Federal Reserve System or by the state in which the branch is located if the 
branch is licensed in that state. In addition, branches licensed by the 
Comptroller of the Currency and branches licensed by certain states ("State 
Branches") may or may not be required: (a) to pledge to the regulator by 
depositing assets with a designated bank within the state, an amount of its 
assets equal to 5% of its total liabilities; and (b) to maintain assets within


 the state in an amount equal to a specified percentage of the aggregate 
amount of liabilities of the foreign bank payable at or through all of its 
agencies or branches within the state. The deposits of State Branches may not 
necessarily be insured by the FDIC. In addition, there may be less publicly 
available information about a domestic branch of a foreign bank than about a 
domestic bank.

In view of the foregoing factors associated with the purchase of CDs and TDs 
issued by foreign branches of domestic banks or by domestic branches of 
foreign banks,  TIMCO will carefully evaluate such investments on a case-by-
case basis.

Savings and loan associations whose CDs may be purchased by the Fund are 
supervised by the Office of Thrift Supervision and are insured by the Savings 
Association Insurance Fund which is administered by the FDIC and is backed by 
the full faith and credit of the United States government.  As a result,  such 
savings and loan associations are subject to regulation and examination.
Lending of Portfolio Securities.  The Fund has the ability to lend securities 
from its portfolio to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations. Such 
loans, if and when made, may not exceed 33 1/3% of the Fund's total assets 
taken at value. The Fund may not lend its portfolio securities to TIMCO or 
SBMFM or itstheir affiliates unless it hasthey have applied for and received 
specific authority from the SEC. Loans of portfolio securities by the Fund 
will be collateralized by cash, letters of credit or U.S. government 
securities that are maintained at all times in an amount equal to at least 
100% of the current market value of the loaned securities.



In lending its portfolio securities, the Fund can increase its income by 
continuing to receive interest on the loaned securities as well as by either 
investing the cash collateral in short-term instruments or obtaining yield in 
the form of interest paid by the borrower when U.S. government securities are 
used as collateral. Requirements of the SEC, which may be subject to future 
modifications, currently provide that the following conditions must be met 
whenever the Fund's portfolio securities are loaned: (a) the Fund must receive 
at least 100% cash collateral or equivalent securities from the borrower; (b) 
the borrower must increase such collateral whenever the market value of the 
securities rises above the level of such collateral; (c) the Fund must be able 
to terminate the loan at any time; (d) the Fund must receive reasonable 
interest on the loan, as well as an amount equal to any dividends, interest or 
other distributions on the loaned securities, and any increase in market 
value; (e) the Fund may pay only reasonable custodian fees in connection with 
the loan; and (f) voting rights on the loaned securities may pass to the 
borrower; however, if a material event adversely affecting the investment 
occurs, the Trust's Board of Trustees must terminate the loan and regain the 
right to vote the securities. 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 be made to firms deemed by TIMCO to be of good 
standing and will not be made unless, in the judgment of TIMCO, the 
consideration to be earned from such loans would justify the risk. From time 
to time, the Fund may return a part of the interest earned from the investment 
of collateral received for securities loaned to:  (a) the borrower; and/or (b) 
a third party, which is unaffiliated with the Fund, TIMCO or SBMFM and which 
is acting as a "finder."

Futures. The Fund may enter into stock index futures contracts and related 
options that are traded thereon. A stock index futures agreement is a contract 
pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make  delivery of an amount of 
cash equal to the difference between the value of the index at the close of 
the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the index contract 
was originally written. No physical delivery of the underlying securities in 
the index is made.

No consideration will be paid or received by the Fund upon entering into a 
futures contract.  Initially, the Fund will be required to deposit with the 
broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to approximately 1% to 10% 
of the contract amount (this amount is subject to change by the board of trade 
on which the contract is traded and members of such board of trade may charge 
a higher amount).  This amount, known as "initial margin," is in the nature of 
a performance bond or good faith deposit on the contract and is returned to 
the Fund upon termination of the futures contract, assuming all contractual 
obligations have been satisfied.  Subsequent payments, known as "variation 
margin," to and from the broker will be made daily as the price of the index 
underlying the futures contract fluctuates, making the long and short 
positions in the futures contract more or less valuable, a process known as 
"marking-to-market." At any time prior to expiration of a futures contract, 
the Fund may elect to close the position by taking an opposite position, which 
will operate to terminate the Fund's existing position in the contract.

Investment Restrictions

The Fund has adopted the following investment restrictions for the protection 
of shareholders. Restrictions 1 through 7 below cannot be changed without 
approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund, 
defined as the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the Fund's shares present at a 
meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present 
in person or by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the Fund's outstanding shares. 
The remaining restrictions may be changed by the Fund's Board of Trustees at 
any time. In accordance with these restrictions,  the Fund will not: 

1.	Deviate from the definition of a diversified company" as defined in the 
1940 Act and rules thereunder. 

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

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, U.S. government securities and 
securities of state or municipal governments and their political subdivisions 
are not considered to be issued by members of any industry.

      4.    Borrow money,  except that (a)  the Fund may borrow from banks for 
temporary or emergency (not leveraging) purposes,  including the meeting of 
redemption requests which might otherwise require the untimely disposition of 
securities,  in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of the value of the Funds 
total assets (including the amount borrowed),  valued at the lesser of cost or 
market,  less liabilities (mot including the amount borrowed)  valued at the 
time the borrowing is made and (b)  the Fund may,  to the extent consistent 
with its investment policies,  enter into reverse repurchase agreements,  
forward roll transactions and similar investment strategies and techniques.

5.    Make loans.  This restriction does not apply to: (a) the purchase of 
debt obligations in which the Fund may invest consistent with its investment 
objective and policies (including participation interests in such 
obligations);  (b) repurchase agreements; and  (c) loans of its portfolio 
securities.

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

7.   Purchase or sell real estate, real estate mortgages, commodities or 
commodity contracts, but this restriction shall not prevent the Fund from: (a) 
investing in securities of issuers engaged in the real estate business 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 (c) 
trading in futures contracts and options on futures contracts or (d) investing 
in or purchasing real estate investment trust securities.

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

 9.   	Invest in oil, gas or other mineral exploration or development 
programs. 

    10.   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.  
Securities that are not registered under the 1933 Act, as amended,  and sold 
in reliance on Rule 144A thereunder,  but are determined to be liquid by the 
Board of Trustees,  will not be subject to this 15% limitation.

11.   Purchase the securities of any other open-end investment company, 
except through a purchase on the open market involving no commission or profit 
to a sponsor or dealer (other than the customary stock exchange or over-the-
counter brokerage commission) and except as part of a merger, consolidation or 
acquisition of assets. 

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



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

14.   Purchasing, writing or selling puts, calls, straddles, spreads or 
combinations thereof, except as described in the Fund's prospectus under 
"Investment Objective and Management Policies."

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

The Fund may make commitments more restrictive than the restrictions listed 
above so as to permit the sale of its shares in certain states.  Should the 
Fund determine that a commitment is no longer in the best interests of the 
Fund and its shareholders,  the Fund reserves the right to revoke the 
commitment by terminating the sale of the Funds shares in the state involved.

Certain Investment Activities

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

Portfolio Turnover

Generally, an index fund sells securities only to respond to redemption 
requests or to adjust the number of shares held to reflect a change in the 
Funds target index.  Because of this,  the turnover rate for the Fund will be 
low.

Portfolio Transactions

Decisions to buy and sell securities for the Fund are made by TIMCO, subject 
to the overall supervision and review of the Trust's Board of Trustees. 
Portfolio securities transactions for the Fund are effected by or under the 
supervision of TIMCO. 

Transactions on stock exchanges involve the payment of negotiated brokerage 
commissions. There is generally no stated commission in the case of securities 
traded in the over-the-counter market, but the price of those securities 
includes an undisclosed commission or mark-up. Over-the-counter purchases and 
sales are transacted directly with principal market makers except in those 
cases in which better prices and executions may


 be obtained elsewhere. The cost of securities purchased from underwriters 
includes an underwriting commission or concession, and the prices at which 
securities are purchased from and sold to dealers include a dealer's mark-up 
or mark-down.

In executing portfolio transactions and selecting brokers or dealers, it is 
the Fund's policy to seek the best overall terms available. TIMCO, in seeking 
the most favorable price and execution, considers all factors it deems 
relevant, including, for example, the price, the size of the transaction, the 
reputation, experience and financial stability of the broker-dealer involved 
and the quality of service rendered by the broker-dealer in other 
transactions. TIMCO receives research, statistical and quotation services from 
several broker-dealers with which it places the Fund's portfolio transactions. 
It is possible that certain of the services received primarily will benefit 
one or more other accounts for which TIMCO exercises investment discretion. 
Conversely, the Fund may be the primary beneficiary of services received as a 
result of portfolio transactions effected for other accounts. TIMCO's fee 
under the Advisory Agreement is not reduced by reason of its receiving such 
brokerage and research services. The Trust's Board of Trustees, in its 
discretion, may authorize TIMCO to cause the Fund to pay a broker that 
provides brokerage and research services to TIMCO a commission in excess of 
that which another qualified broker would have charged for effecting the same 
transaction. Smith Barney will not participate in commissions from brokerage 
given by the Fund to other brokers or dealers and will not receive any 
reciprocal brokerage business resulting therefrom. Portfolio turnover rate may 
vary from year to year,  as well as within a year.

In accordance with Section 17(e) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17e-1 thereunder, 
the Fund's Board of Trustees has determined that any portfolio transaction for 
the Fund may be executed through Smith Barney or an affiliate of Smith Barney 
if, in TIMCO's judgment, the use of Smith Barney or an affiliate is likely to 
result in price and execution at least as favorable as those of other 
qualified brokers and if, in the transaction, Smith Barney or the affiliate 
charges the Fund a commission rate consistent with those charged by Smith 
Barney or an affiliate to comparable unaffiliated customers in similar 
transactions. In addition, under SEC rules Smith Barney may directly execute 
such transactions for the Fund on the floor of any national securities 
exchange, provided: (a) the Board of Trustees has expressly authorized Smith 
Barney to effect such transactions; and (b) Smith Barney annually advises the 
Fund of the aggregate compensation it earned on such transactions.

Even though investment decisions for the Fund are made independently from 
those of the other accounts managed by TIMCO, investments of the kind made by 
the Fund also may be made by those other accounts. When the Fund and one or 
more accounts managed by TIMCO are prepared to invest in, or desire to dispose 
of, the same security, available investments or opportunities for sales will 
be allocated in a manner believed by TIMCO to be equitable. In some cases, 
this procedure may adversely affect the price paid or received by the Fund or 
the size of the position obtained for or disposed of by the Fund.

PURCHASE OF SHARES



Determination of Public Offering Price

The Fund offers its shares to the public on a continuous basis. The public 
offering price for shares of the Fund is equal to the net asset value per 
share at the time of purchase. The method of computation of the public 
offering price is shown in the Fund's financial statements incorporated by 
reference in their entirety into this SAI.

REDEMPTION OF SHARES

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

Distributions in Kind

If the Board of Trustees of the Trust determines that it would be detrimental 
to the best interests of the Fund's remaining shareholders to make a 
redemption payment wholly in cash, the Trust may pay in respect of the Fund, 
in accordance with SEC rules, any portion of a redemption in excess of the 
lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the Fund's net assets by distribution in kind of 
portfolio securities in lieu of cash. Securities issued as a distribution in 
kind may incur brokerage commissions when shareholders subsequently sell those 
securities.

Automatic Cash Withdrawal Plan

An automatic cash withdrawal plan (the "Withdrawal Plan") is available to 
shareholders who own shares with a value of at least $10,000 ($5,000 for 
retirement plan accounts) 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. To the extent withdrawals exceed 
dividends, distributions and appreciation of a shareholder's investment in the 
Fund, there will be a reduction in the value of the shareholder's investment 
and continued withdrawal payments will reduce the shareholder's investment and 
ultimately may exhaust it. Withdrawal payments should not be considered as 
income from investment in the Fund. Furthermore, as it generally would not be 
advantageous to a shareholder to make additional investments in the Fund at 
the same time he or she is participating in the Withdrawal Plan, purchases by 
such shareholders in amounts of less than $5,000 ordinarily will not be 
permitted.



Shareholders who wish to participate in the Withdrawal Plan and who hold their 
shares in certificate form must deposit their share certificates with First 
Data 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. Withdrawal Plans should be set up with a 
Smith Barney Financial Consultant. Applications for participation in the 
Withdrawal Plan must be received by First Data 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 PFS 
Investments Representativefinancial consultant.

DISTRIBUTOR

Smith Barney serves as a distributor for the Fund on a best efforts basis 
pursuant to a written agreement.

When payment is made by the investor, unless otherwise noted by the investor, 
the funds will be held as a free credit balance in the investor's brokerage 
account and 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 Smith Barney Exchange 
Reserve Fund) of the Smith Barney Mutual Funds. If the investor instructs 
Smith Barney to invest the funds in a 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 Smith Barney money market fund, and affiliates 
of Smith Barney that serve the funds in an investment advisory or 
administrative capacity will benefit from the fact they are receiving fees 
from both such investment companies for managing these assets computed on the 
basis of their average daily net assets. The Trust's Board of Trustees has 
been advised of the benefits to Smith Barney resulting from these settlement 
procedures and will take such benefits into consideration when reviewing the 
Distribution Agreementdistribution agreements for continuance.

Distributions Arrangements

To compensate PFS for the service it provides and for the expense it bears 
under the Distribution AgreementSmith Barney for the services it provides and 
for the expense it bears under the distribution agreement, the Fund has 
adopted a services and distribution plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 
under the 1940 Act.  Under the Plan, the Fund pays a service fee, for Class A 
shares accrued daily and paid monthly, calculated at the annual rate of 0.20% 
of the value of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A 
Bshares.  Class D shares are not subject to a service fee.

Under its terms, the Plan continues from year to year, provided such 
continuance is approved annually by vote of the Trust's Board of Trustees, 
including a majority of the Trustees 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 Agreementdistribution agreement (the 
"Independent Trustees"). The Plan may not be amended to increase the amount of 
the service fees without shareholder approval, and all amendments of the Plan 
also must be approved by the Trustees and Independent Trustees in the manner 
described above. The Plan may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by 
vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees or by vote of a majority (as 
defined in the 1940 Act) of the outstanding voting securities.  Pursuant to 
the Plan,  the Fund's distributor will provide the Board of Trustees with 
periodic reports of amounts expended under the Plan and the purpose for which 
such expenditures were made.

VALUATION OF SHARES

The net asset value per share is calculated on each day, Monday through 
Friday, except days on which the NYSE is closed. The NYSE currently is 
scheduled to be closed on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, 
Presidents' Day, Good


 Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and 
Christmas, and on the preceding Friday or subsequent Monday when one of these 
holidays falls on a Saturday or Sunday, respectively. The following is a 
description of the procedures used by the Fund in valuing its assets. 

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



PERFORMANCE DATA

From time to time, the Fund may quote its total return in advertisements or in 
reports and other communications to shareholders. The Fund may include 
comparative performance information in advertising or marketing the Fund's 
shares. Such performance information may include the following industry and 
financial publications: Barron's, Business Week, CDA Investment Technologies, 
Inc., Changing Times, Forbes, Fortune, Institutional Investor, Investors 
Daily, Money, Morningstar Mutual Fund Values, The New York Times, USA Today 
and The Wall Street Journal. 

Average Annual Total Return

"Average annual total return" figures are 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 the 1-, 5- or 10-year 
period (or fractional portion thereof), assuming 
reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.



Aggregate Total Return

"Aggregate total return" figures represent the cumulative change in the value 
of an investment in the Fund for the specified period and are computed by the 
following formula:

ERV-P
    P


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


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



Performance will vary from time to time depending on market conditions, the 
composition of the Fund's portfolio and operating expenses.  Consequently, any 
given performance quotation should not be considered representative of the 
Funds performance for any specified period in the future. Because performance 
will vary, it may not provide a basis for comparing an investment in the Fund 
with certain bank deposits or other investments that pay a fixed yield for a 
stated period of time.

TAXES

The following is a summary of certain Federal income tax considerations that 
may affect the Fund and its shareholders. The summary is not intended as a 
substitute for individual tax advice and investors are urged to consult their 
own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of an investment in the Fund. 



The Trust intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under 
the Code. If the Fund (a) qualifies as a regulated investment company and (b) 
distributes to its shareholders at least 90% of its net investment income 
(including, for this purpose, its net realized short-term capital gains), the 
Fund will not be liable for Federal income taxes to the extent that its net 
investment income and its net realized long- and short-term capital gains, if 
any, are distributed to its shareholders. 

Gains or losses on the sales of stock or securities by the Fund generally will 
be long-term capital gains or losses if the Fund has held the stock or 
securities for more than one year. Gains or losses on sales of stock or 
securities held for not more than one year generally will be short-term 
capital gains or losses. 

Any net long-term capital gains realized by the Fund will be distributed 
annually as described in the Prospectus. Such distributions ("capital gain 
dividends") will be taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gains, 
regardless of how long a shareholder has held Fund shares, and will be 
designated as capital gain dividends in a written notice mailed by the Fund to 
shareholders after the close of the Fund's prior taxable year. If a 
shareholder receives a capital gain dividend with respect to any share and if 
the share has been held by the shareholder for six months or less, then any 
loss on the sale or exchange of such share will be treated as a long-term 
capital loss to the extent of the capital gain dividend. 

Investors considering buying shares of the Fund on or just prior to a record 
date for a taxable dividend or capital gain distribution should be aware that, 
regardless of whether the price of the Fund shares to be purchased reflects 
the amount of the forthcoming dividend or distribution payment, any such 
payment will be a taxable dividend or distribution payment.

If a shareholder fails to furnish a correct taxpayer identification number, 
fails fully to report dividend and interest income, or fails to certify that 
he or she has provided a correct taxpayer identification number and that he or 
she is not subject to "backup withholding," then the shareholder may be 
subject to a 31% backup withholding tax with respect to (a) any taxable 
dividends and distributions and (b) the proceeds of any redemptions of Fund 
shares. An individual's taxpayer identification number is his or her social 
security number. The backup withholding tax is not an additional tax and may 
be credited against a shareholder's regular Federal income tax liability. 

The foregoing is only a summary of certain tax considerations generally 
affecting the Fund and its shareholders and is not intended as a substitute 
for careful tax planning. Shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors 
with specific reference to their own tax situations, including their state and 
local tax liabilities.
