LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN
R. JAY GERKEN, CFA
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholder,
Over the past six months, the domestic economy continued to recover from the recession of the prior three years, although a number of factors combined to slow its progress.
At the beginning of the period, the major U.S. equity indices had retreated after a strong beginning to 2004. Interest rates and inflation concerns were the primary culprits. Stronger-than-expected economic data painted a picture of improved growth. However, concerns about Iraq and uncertainty over the Presidential election weighed on the equity market. At the end of the second quarter, earnings were the focus for most investors. Corporate earnings, for the most part, were solid, though not as strong as in the first quarter.
Real gross domestic product (“GDP”)i grew at a rate of 3.3% during the second quarter, up from a previous estimate of 2.8% growth. Major contributors to the growth in GDP were business investment, consumer spending, and private inventory investment. Estimated GDP growth for the third quarter of 2004 is 3.7%.ii In the spring and summer, monthly job growth figures fluctuated between net gains and losses but improved through the fall, while the overall unemployment rate remained below the recent high of 6.3% set in June 2003.iii The U.S. Consumer Confidence Indexiv rose significantly through July, but has since declined through October, reflecting consumers’ growing concern about the rate of job growth and the outlook for the economy.
Crude oil prices rose to record highs during the period, leading to a spike in energy costs that helped curb consumer spending and acted as a brake on the domestic economy overall. The Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) began a measured and deliberate cooling off of both the economy and inflation fears, at the end of the second quarter, by raising its federal funds rate targetv by 0.25% to 1.25%. By the end of the September, the rate would be raised twice more to 1.75%, and following the end of the fund’s reporting period, at its November meeting, the Fed increased the rate once more to 2.00%. Where the market had been concerned about the possibility of deflation at the start of the period, economic worries now center on the risks of inflation.
The past six months in the stock market saw small- and mid-capitalization stocks continue to generally outperform large-caps. The Russell 2000 Index,vi a proxy for the small-cap market, returned 4.87% for the period and the S&P MidCap 400 Indexvii returned 3.84%, while the S&P 500 Indexviii and the Dow Jones Industrial Average,ix which represent large-cap and blue chip stocks respectively, returned 2.96% and -0.92% for the same period. Value-oriented stocks continued to outpace growth-oriented stocks: the S&P 500/Barra Value Indexx returned 6.00% for the period versus -0.08% for the S&P 500/Barra Growth Index.xi
Foreign stock markets, as represented by the MSCI EAFE Index,xii which returned 5.74%, strongly outperformed the broad domestic market as represented by the broad Wilshire 5000 Index,xiii which returned 3.38%. Despite fluctuations during the period, bonds collectively generated positive total returns as reflected by the performance of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index,xiv which returned 4.23% over the past six months.

The performance shown represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results and current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown above. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate and investors’ shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end, please visit our website at www.smithbarneymutualfunds.com
Performance figures may reflect reimbursements or fee waivers, without which the performance would have been lower.
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 -2.65% and Class C shares returned -2.65% over the six months ended October 31, 2004.
Performance Review
Over the six-month period, the fund’s most overweighted sectors relative to its benchmark were the consumer staples and healthcare sectors. The most underweighted sectors were in the industrials and financials sectors. In terms of individual holdings, the fund’s largest contribution to performance (percentage contributed to the portfolio’s total return for the period is in parentheses) were The Home Depot, Inc., warehouse-style stores selling building materials, home improvement supplies and lawn and garden products (0.39%), Microsoft Corp., a company which develops, manufactures, licenses and supports a wide range of software products (0.30%), General Electric Company, a company that produces aircraft engines, locomotives and other transportation equipment, appliances, lighting, electric distribution, etc. (0.28%), Johnson & Johnson, a company engaged in the manufacture and sale of products related to human health and well-being (0.26%), and ChevronTexaco Corporation, a company engaged in fully integrated petroleum operations, chemicals operations, coal mining, and power and energy services (0.25%). The largest detractors from performance for the

At the close of the period, the fund continued to hold shares of all the issuers mentioned above.
Information About Your Fund
As you may be aware, several issues in the mutual fund industry have recently 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, two former employees 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.
Sincerely,
R. Jay Gerken, CFA

Please refer to pages 8 through 11 for a list and percentage breakdown of the fund’s holdings.
The mention of sector breakdowns is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a recommendation to purchase or sell any securities. The information provided regarding such sectors is not a sufficient basis upon which to make an investment decision.

| 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 May 1, 2004 and held for the six months ended October 31, 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”.

| (2) | | Assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, at net asset value and does not reflect the deduction of the applicable sales charges with respect to Class A shares or the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) with respect to Class B and Class C shares. Total return is not annualized, as it may not be representative of the total return for the year. Performance figures may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. 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. |
| (3) | | Expenses (net of voluntary waiver) are equal to each class’ respective annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, then divided by 365. |

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.

16 Smith Barney Multiple Discipline Funds — Large Cap Growth and Value Fund | 2004 Semi-Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
| 1. | Organization and Significant Accounting Policies |
The Smith Barney Multiple Discipline Funds — Large Cap Growth and 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 an 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”). Estimates and assumptions are required to be made 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 prices on such markets or, in the absence of sales, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter securities for which no sales were reported on that date 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, 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. Short-term obligations maturing within 60 days are valued at amortized cost, 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) Investment Transactions and Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practical after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Gains or losses on the sale of securities are calculated by using the specific identification method.
(d) 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 rates at the end of the period. Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in the exchange rates during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the statement 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 rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities.

(e) 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, annually. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.
(f) Class Accounting. Class specific expenses are charged to each class. Investment advisory 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.
(g) Federal and Other Taxes. It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code 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. Under the applicable foreign tax law, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates.

Smith Barney Fund Management LLC (“SBFM”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), acts as investment manager to the Fund.

Citicorp Trust Bank, fsb. (“CTB”), another subsidiary of Citigroup, acts as the Fund’s transfer agent. PFPC Inc. (“PFPC”) and Primerica Shareholder Services (“PSS”), another subsidiary of Citigroup, act as the Fund’s sub-transfer agents. CTB receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the size and type of account. PFPC and PSS are responsible for shareholder recordkeeping and financial processing for all shareholder accounts and are paid by CTB. For the six months ended October 31, 2004, the Fund paid transfer agent fees of $112,654 to CTB.

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 six months ended October 31, 2004, CGM and its affiliates received sales charges of approximately $41,000 on sales of the Fund’s Class A shares. In addition, for the six months ended October 31, 2004, CDSCs paid to CGM and its affiliates were approximately $36,000 for Class B shares.

| 7. | Capital Loss Carryforward |
On April 30, 2004, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward of approximately $167,528,000 of which $18,808,000 expires in 2010, $88,347,000 expires in 2011 and $60,373,000 expires in 2012. This amount will be available to offset like amounts of any future taxable gains.
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 Fund’s investment manager and other investment advisory companies; Citigroup Trust Bank (“CTB”), an affiliate of CAM; Thomas W. Jones, the former CEO of CAM; and three other individuals, one of whom is an employee and the other two of whom are former employees 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.
20 Smith Barney Multiple Discipline Funds — Large Cap Growth and Value Fund | 2004 Semi-Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
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.
Beginning in June, 2004, class action lawsuits alleging violations of the federal securities laws were 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, including the Fund (the “Funds”), and directors or trustees of the Funds (collectively, the “Defendants”). The complaints alleged, 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 alleged 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 also alleged that the Funds failed to adequately disclose certain of the allegedly wrongful conduct. The complaints sought 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.
On December 15, 2004, a consolidated amended complaint (the “Complaint”) was filed alleging substantially similar causes of action. While the lawsuit is in its earliest stages, to the extent that the Complaint purports to state causes of action against the Funds, Citigroup Asset Management believes the Funds have significant defenses to such allegations, which the Funds intend to vigorously assert in responding to the Complaint.
Additional lawsuits arising out of these circumstances and presenting similar allegations and requests for relief may be filed against the Defendants in the future.
As of the date of this report, Citigroup Asset Management and the Funds believe that the resolution of the pending lawsuit will not have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Funds or the ability of the Advisers and their affiliates to continue to render services to the Funds under their respective contracts.
