In recent months several issues in the mutual fund industry have come under the scrutiny of federal and state regulators.The fund’s Adviser and some of its affiliates have received requests for information from various government regulators regarding market timing, late trading, fees, and other mutual fund issues in connection with various investigations.The regulators appear to be examining, among other things, the fund’s response to market timing and shareholder exchange activity, including compliance with prospectus disclosure related to these subjects.The fund has been informed that the Adviser and its affiliates are responding to those information requests, but are not in a position to predict the outcome of these requests and investigations.
In November 2003, Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”) disclosed an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the U.S. Attorney relating to CAM’s entry into the transfer agency business during 1997-1999. Citigroup has disclosed that the Staff of the SEC is considering recommending a civil injunctive action and/or an administrative proceeding against certain advisory and transfer agent entities affiliated with Citigroup, the former CEO of CAM, a former employee and a current employee of CAM relating to the creation, operation and fees of its internal transfer agent unit that serves various CAM-managed funds. Citigroup is cooperating with the SEC and will seek to resolve this matter in discussion with the SEC Staff. Although there can be no assurance, Citigroup does not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on the fund.
As always, thank you for your confidence in our stewardship of your assets.We look forward to helping you continue to meet your financial goals.

Special Shareholder Notice
Effective November 1, 2004, the Smith Barney Small Cap Value Fund will consider small capitalization companies to be companies with market capitalization values not exceeding (i) $3 billion or (ii) the highest month-end market capitalization value of any stock in the Russell 2000 Index for the previous 12 months, whichever is greater. Securities of companies whose market capitalizations no longer meet this definition after purchase by the fund still will be considered to be securities of small capitalization companies for purposes of the fund’s 80% investment policy.
Effective May 7, 2004, Peter Hable, investment officer of Smith Barney Fund Management LLC (the “manager”), a managing director of Citigroup Global Markets, Inc, and president of Davis Skaggs Investment Management, a division of the manager, is the sole portfolio manager for the fund. Mr. Hable has been responsible for the day-to-day management of the fund’s portfolio since inception. Thomas B. Driscoll III, no longer assists in managing the portfolio.
On February 2, 2004, initial sales charges on Class L shares were eliminated. Effective April 29, 2004, Class L shares were renamed Class C shares.
Market Overview
Last year, the market for small capitalization stocks was characterized generally by dramatic outperformance by companies with the lowest share prices, smallest market capitalizations and little or no earnings.This year small-cap performance has been driven typically by companies with high returns on invested capital, healthy balance sheets, strong free cash flow profiles and larger market capitalizations. Given our focus on these higher-quality, small-cap companies, the fund’s performance for calendar 2004 is approximately in line with its Russell 2000 Value benchmark.With the dominance of micro-cap stocks in the fourth quarter of 2003, however, the fund’s performance for its fiscal year has slightly lagged its benchmark.

Class A share returns assume the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains distributions at net asset value and the deduction of all fund expenses. Returns have not been adjusted to include sales charges that may apply when shares are purchased or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions. Excluding sales charges, Class B shares returned 1.97%, Class C shares returned 1.92% and Class Y shares returned 2.50% over the six months ended September 30, 2004. Excluding sales charges, Class B shares returned 21.35%, Class C shares returned 21.36% and Class Y shares returned 22.71% over the 12 months ended September 30, 2004.

Portfolio Update
Small capitalization stocks generally have outperformed large-cap stocks for over five years.This period of relative outperformance by small-cap stocks has narrowed the extreme valuation gap that we believe has existed between small- and large-cap companies since 1998. While this outperformance may have eliminated the potential for dramatic gains for small-caps relative to large companies, we believe many small-cap valuations imply that there still may be room to generate superior returns.
Last year, we argued that an economic recovery was unfolding and that corporate capital expenditures were accelerating. Consequently, the fund held overweighted positions in the industrials, technology and basic materials sectors, which served it well moving into early 2004. By this summer, however, higher oil prices, negative earnings surprises and downward earnings revisions had taken a toll on the small-cap market.While corporate profit growth slowed, it does not appear to us that profits are disappearing.We have begun to shift the fund’s exposure in the industrials sector towards companies that we believe will benefit from the later stages of an economic recovery.We also lowered the fund’s exposure to the basic materials and energy sectors, believing that commodity prices will show some signs of receding. As to technology, we expect the sector will show its seasonal strength in the fourth quarter after a summer dominated by negative earnings surprises.
With an increase in economic activity, we also anticipated an increase in interest rates. As a result, we underweighted those sectors that historically are often negatively impacted by rising interest rates, in particular, the financial and utility sectors.This call worked well for the fund into April as rates rose, but turned against the fund as longer rates declined during this summer’s economic doldrums. We continue to underweight these sectors, believing that rates will rise as the economy regains momentum and valuations are extended.We are especially concerned by what we believe to be the speculative fervor in small-cap banks and real estate investment trusts.
In terms of specific holdings, among the biggest positive contributors to the fund’s performance for the period were shares of Pentair Inc., a focused diversified industrial manufacturer that has operated in the water, enclosures and tools segments, XTO Energy Inc., a company engaged in the acquisition, development, exploitation and exploration of producing oil and gas properties, IKON Office Solutions Inc., a firm that integrates imaging systems and services that help businesses manage document workflow, Mueller Industries Inc., a manufacturer of copper, brass, plastic and aluminum products and Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (formerly Gibraltar Steel Corporation), a processor, manufacturer and distributor of an array of high value-added and high margin products and services.While the fund’s performance overall for the period was positive, some holdings detracted from performance. Stocks that detracted most from the fund’s performance were Bentley Pharmaceuticals Inc., a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on research, development and licensing of advanced drug delivery technologies and pharmaceutical products, Performance Food Group Co., a food service distributor that markets and distributes brand food and non-food products, Cabot Microelectronics Corp., a supplier of high-performance polishing slurries used in the manufacture of integrated circuit (IC) devices, MedQuist Inc., a comprehensive provider of health information solutions and services and Micromuse Inc., a provider of a suite of software products that enable business and service assurance for enterprises and service providers. At the close of the period, the fund still held shares of all of the companies listed as positive contributors and still holds shares in Bentley Pharmaceuticals Inc., Performance Food Group Co. and MedQuist Inc.
Thank you for your investment in the Smith Barney Small Cap Value Fund. As ever, we appreciate that you have chosen us to manage your assets and we remain focused on achieving the fund’s investment goals.
Sincerely,

Fund Expenses (unaudited)
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including front-end and back-end sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses.This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on April 1, 2004 and held for the six months ended September 30, 2004.
Actual Expenses
The table below titled “Based on Actual Total Return” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information provided in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.To estimate the expenses you paid on your account, divide your ending account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 ending account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period”.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. In the absence of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would have been lower. |

Fund Expenses (unaudited) (continued)
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below titled “Based on Hypothetical Total Return” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return.The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.You may use the information provided in this table to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5.00% hypothetical example relating to the Fund with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or back-end sales charges (loads). Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

22 Smith Barney Small Cap Value Fund | 2004 Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
The Smith Barney Small Cap Value Fund (“Fund”), a separate investment fund of the Smith Barney Investment Funds Inc. (“Company”), a Maryland corporation, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company.
The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund and are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding assets, liabilities and changes in net assets resulting from operations when financial statements are prepared. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ.
(a) Investment Valuation. Securities traded on national securities markets are valued at the closing price on such markets. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sales prices were reported are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price on that day, at the last sale price. When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), but before the Fund calculates its net asset value, the Fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs and futures contracts. Securities that have a maturity of more than 60 days are valued at prices based on market quotations for securities of similar type, yield and maturity. Securities maturing within 60 days are valued at cost plus accreted discount, or minus amortized premium, which approximates value.
(b) Repurchase Agreements. When entering into repurchase agreements, it is the Fund’s policy that a custodian takes possession of the underlying collateral securities, the value of which at least equals the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest.To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral is marked-to-market to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.
(c) Futures Contracts. The Fund may enter into futures contracts to the extent permitted by its investment policies and objectives. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit cash or securities as initial margin.Additional securities are also segregated up to the current market value of the futures contracts. Subsequent payments, which are dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying instrument, are made or received by the Fund each day (daily variation margin) and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed.When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transactions and the Fund’s basis in the contracts.The Fund enters into such contracts typically to hedge a portion of the portfolio. Risks of entering into futures contracts for hedging purposes include the possibility that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the investments hedged. In addition, the purchase of a futures contract involves the risk that the Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit and subsequent payments required for a futures transaction.
(d) Option Contracts. When a Fund writes or purchases a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the Fund is recorded as a liability or asset, the value of which is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the option.When the option expires, the Fund realizes a gain or loss equal to the amount of the premium received or paid.When the Fund enters into a closing transaction by purchasing or selling an offsetting option, it realizes a gain or loss
23 Smith Barney Small Cap Value Fund | 2004 Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security.When a written call option is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received.When a written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium received reduces the cost of the security that the Fund purchased upon exercise of the option.
(e) Investment Transactions and Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Gains or losses on the sale of securities are calculated by using the specific identification method.
(f ) Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current prevailing exchange rates.All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the current exchange rate at the end of the period.Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in the exchange rate during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the results of operations for the current period. The Fund does not isolate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in securities, which are due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities.
(g) Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date; the Fund distributes dividends and capital gains, if any, at least annually.The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
(h) Class Accounting. Class specific expenses are charged to each class; management fees, general fund expenses, income, gains and/or losses are allocated on the basis of relative net assets of each class or on another reasonable basis.
(i) Federal Income Taxes. It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, the Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains on investments, if any, to shareholders each year. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
(j) Year End Tax Reclassifications. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. Accordingly, during the current year, $1,929,301 has been reclassified between undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gain from investment transactions and futures contracts as a result of permanent differences primarily attributable to the utilization of tax net operating loss against realized short-term capital gains.This reclassification has no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.
2. Management Agreement and Other Transactions
Smith Barney Fund Management LLC (“SBFM”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), acts as investment manager to the Fund.The Fund pays SBFM a management fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.This fee is calculated daily and paid monthly.
During the year ended September 30, 2004 SBFM waived a portion of its management fee in the amount of $79,674.
Citicorp Trust Bank, fsb. (“CTB”), another subsidiary of Citigroup, acts as the Fund’s transfer agent. PFPC Inc. (“PFPC”) acts as the Fund’s sub-transfer agent. CTB receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the size and type of account. PFPC is responsible for shareholder recordkeeping and financial processing for all shareholder accounts and is paid by CTB. For the year ended September 30, 2004, the Fund paid transfer agent fees of $402,890 to CTB.
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGM”), another indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, acts as the Fund’s distributor. For the year ended September 30, 2004, CGM and its affiliates did not receive any brokerage commissions.
24 Smith Barney Small Cap Value Fund | 2004 Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
On February 2, 2004, initial sales charges on Class L shares were eliminated. Effective April 29, 2004, Class L shares were renamed as Class C shares.
There is a maximum sales charge of 5.00% for Class A shares.There is a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 5.00% on Class B shares, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase payment and declines thereafter by 1.00% per year until no CDSC is incurred. Class C shares have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase payment. In certain cases, Class A shares have a 1.00% CDSC, which applies if redemption occurs within one year from purchase payment.This CDSC only applies to those purchases of Class A shares, which when combined with current holdings of Class A shares, equal or exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate.These purchases do not incur an initial sales charge.
For the year ended September 30, 2004, CGM received sales charges of approximately $326,000 and $72,000 on sales of the Fund’s Class A and C shares, respectively. In addition, for the year ended September 30, 2004, CDSCs paid to CGM were approximately:
| | | | Class B | Class C |

8. Additional Information
In connection with an investigation previously disclosed by Citigroup, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has notified Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”), the Citigroup business unit that includes the funds’ investment manager and other investment advisory companies; Citicorp Trust Bank (“CTB”), an affiliate of CAM;Thomas W. Jones, the former CEO of CAM; and two other individuals, one of whom is an employee and the other of whom is a former employee of CAM, that the SEC Staff is considering recommending a civil injunctive action and/or an administrative proceeding against each of them relating to the creation and operation of an internal transfer agent unit to serve various CAM-managed funds.
In 1999, CTB entered the transfer agent business. CTB hired an unaffiliated subcontractor to perform some of the transfer agent services.The subcontractor, in exchange, had signed a separate agreement with CAM in 1998 that guaranteed investment management revenue to CAM and investment banking revenue to a CAM affiliate.The subcontractor’s business was later taken over by PFPC Inc., and at that time the revenue guarantee was eliminated and a one-time payment was made by the subcontractor to a CAM affiliate.
CAM did not disclose the revenue guarantee when the boards of various CAM-managed funds hired CTB as transfer agent. Nor did CAM disclose to the boards of the various CAM-managed funds the one-time payment received by the CAM affiliate when it was made.
In addition, the SEC Staff has indicated that it is considering recommending action based on the adequacy of the disclosures made to the fund boards that approved the transfer agency arrangement, CAM’s initiation and operation of, and compensation for, the transfer agent business and CAM’s retention of, and agreements with, the subcontractor.
Citigroup is cooperating fully in the investigation and will seek to resolve the matter in discussions with the SEC Staff. Although there can be no assurance, Citigroup does not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Fund. As previously disclosed, CAM has already agreed to pay the applicable funds, primarily through fee waivers, a total of approximately $17 million (plus interest) that is the amount of the revenue received by Citigroup relating to the revenue guarantee.
9. Legal Matters
Class action lawsuits have been filed against Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the “Distributor”) and a number of its affiliates, including Smith Barney Fund Management LLC and Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc (the “Advisers”), substantially all of the mutual funds managed by the Advisers (the “Funds”), and directors or trustees of the Funds.The complaints allege, among other things, that the Distributor created various undisclosed incentives for its brokers to sell Smith Barney and Salomon Brothers funds. In addition, according to the complaints, the Advisers caused the Funds to pay excessive brokerage commissions to the Distributor for steering clients towards proprietary funds.The complaints also allege that the defendants breached their fiduciary duty to the Funds by improperly charging Rule 12b-1 fees and by drawing on Fund assets to make undisclosed payments of soft dollars and excessive brokerage commissions. The complaints seek injunctive relief and compensatory and punitive damages, rescission of the Funds’ contracts with the Advisers, recovery of all fees paid to the Advisers pursuant to such contracts and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. Citigroup Asset Management believes that the suits are without merit and intends to defend the cases vigorously.
Additional lawsuits arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the defendants in the future. Neither Citigroup Asset Management nor the Funds believe that any of the pending actions will have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of the Distributor or the Advisers to perform under their respective contracts with the Funds.

The Charter for the Audit Committee (the "Committee") of the
Board of each registered investment company (the "Fund")
advised by Smith Barney Fund Management LLC or Salomon
Brothers Asset Management Inc or one of their affiliates
(each, an "Adviser") requires that the Committee shall approve
(a) all audit and permissible non-audit services to be
provided to the Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit
services to be provided by the Fund's independent auditors to
the Adviser and any Covered Service Providers if the
engagement relates directly to the operations and financial

controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that
provide ongoing services to the Fund ("Covered Service
Providers") constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount
of revenues paid to the independent auditors during the fiscal
year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided
to (a) the Fund, (b) the Adviser and (c) any entity
controlling, controlled by or under common control with the
Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund during the
fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have
to be approved by the Committee; (ii) the permissible
non-audit services were not recognized by the Fund at the time
of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such
services are promptly brought to the attention of the
Committee and approved by the Committee (or its delegate(s))
prior to the completion of the audit.

9/30/03.
(h) Yes. The Smith Barney Investment Funds Inc.' Audit Committee
has considered whether the provision of non-audit services
that were rendered to Service Affiliates which were not
pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval) is compatible with
maintaining the Accountant's independence. All services
provided by the Accountant to the Smith Barney Investment
Funds Inc. or to Service Affiliates which were required to be
