R. JAY GERKEN, CFA
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareholder,
Despite generally lackluster economic news, the international equity markets generated solid results for the six-month reporting period covered by this report. A recent International Monetary Fund’s World Economic Outlook projected a modest 1.6% growth rate for the Eurozone in 2005, and Japanese growth is expected to be 0.8% in 2005, compared to 2.6% in 2004.i Yet, international equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index,ii returned 8.71% over the reporting period. In contrast to the MSCI EAFE Index, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,iii rose only 3.28% over the same period.
The reporting period began on a bright note, as the international equity markets rallied sharply in November and December 2004. Investors were drawn to stocks as oil prices retreated from their record highs and the uncertainty of the U.S. Presidential election ended. Thus far in 2005, however, the equity markets have been volatile. International equities were weak in January but then rallied strongly in February. However, they again fell in March and April. The market’s recent gyrations have been attributed to mixed economic data and continued high oil prices.
Given the overall strength of the economy, the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”)iv continued to raise interest rates over the period in an attempt to ward off inflation. Following three rate hikes from June through September 2004, the Fed again increased its target for the federal funds ratev in 0.25% increments four times during the reporting period. After the Fund’s reporting period had ended, at its May meeting, the Fed once again raised its fed funds target rate by 0.25% to 3.00%.
During the first half of the reporting period, the U.S. fixed income market confounded many investors as short-term interest rates rose in concert with the Fed rate tightening, while longer-term rates, surprisingly, remained fairly steady. However, this began to change in late February 2005, as strong economic data and inflationary concerns caused longer-term rates to rise as well. This continued through March, before longer-term rates again declined on the back of mixed economic data. Looking at the six-month period as a whole, the overall U.S. bond market, as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index,vi
1 Travelers Series Fund Inc. | 2005 Semi-Annual Report
returned 0.98%. Elsewhere, the global bond market, as measured by the JPMorgan Global Government Bond Index—Unhedgedvii returned 4.20% over the same period.
Within this environment, the Funds performed as follows:viii

Salomon Brothers Strategic Total Return Bond Portfolio
Special Shareholder Notice
At meetings held on March 24, 2005 and April 20, 2005, the Board of Directors approved a proposal to reorganize the Salomon Brothers Strategic Total Return Bond Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”) of Travelers Series Fund Inc. (“TSF”) into a newly organized “shell” portfolio (the “Acquiring Fund”) of Travelers Series Trust (“TST”) (the “Reorganization”).
In connection with the Reorganization, the Board of Directors approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) between TSF, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, and TST, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, under which the Acquiring Fund would acquire all of the assets of the Acquired Fund and assume all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund. The Reorganization is being proposed to the Acquired Fund’s shareholders because Travelers Investment Adviser Inc., which serves as investment adviser to the Acquired Fund and is currently an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc. (“MetLife”) as part of MetLife’s acquisition of Travelers Life & Annuity, the life insurance and annuity businesses of Citigroup.
A Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Acquired Fund has been called on June 29, 2005 for the purpose of submitting the Plan and such other matters as may properly come before the meeting to the stockholders of the Acquired Fund for approval. The close of business on April 15, 2005 has been fixed as the record date for the determination of stockholders of the Acquired Fund, who are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting of Shareholders, including any adjournment or adjournments thereof.
Effective April 1, 2005, Roger Lavan and David Scott replaced Beth A. Semmel as co-managers of the Fund. Both are Managing Directors of the manager and portfolio managers of other funds advised by the manager.

Information About Your Funds
As you may be aware, several issues in the mutual fund industry have recently come under the scrutiny of federal and state regulators. The Funds’ 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 Funds’ response to market timing and shareholder exchange activity, including compliance with prospectus disclosure related to these subjects. The Funds have 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.
Important information concerning the Funds and their Adviser with regard to recent regulatory developments is contained in the “Additional Information” note in the Notes to the Financial Statements included in this report.

Foreign stocks are subject to certain risks of overseas investing including currency fluctuations and changes in political and economic conditions, which could result in significant market fluctuations. The Fund may use derivatives, such as options and futures, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on fund performance.

Fund Expenses (unaudited)
Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management 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 November 1, 2004 and held for the six months ended April 30, 2005.
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”.

|
(1) | | For the six months ended April 30, 2005. |
(2) | | Assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, at net asset value. Total return is not annualized, as it may not be representative of the total return for the year. Total returns do not reflect expenses associated with the separate account such as administrative fees, account charges and surrender charges which, if reflected, would reduce the total returns. Performance figures may reflect voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. In the absence of voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would have been lower. |
(3) | | Expenses (net of contractual or voluntary fee waiver) are equal to each Fund’s 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. |

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. 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.

33 Travelers Series Fund Inc. | 2005 Semi-Annual Report
Bond Ratings (unaudited)
The definitions of the applicable rating symbols are set forth below:
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service (“Standard and Poor’s”) — Ratings from “AA” to “CCC” may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (–) sign to show relative standings within the major rating categories.
| | |
AAA | | — Bonds rated “AAA” have the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor’s. Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong. |
AA | | — Bonds rated “AA” have a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal and differs from the highest rated issue only in a small degree. |
A | | — Bonds rated “A” have a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than bonds in higher rated categories. |
BBB | | — Bonds rated “BBB” are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Whereas they normally exhibit adequate protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for bonds in this category than in higher rated categories. |
BB, B, CCC, CC and C | | — Bonds rated “BB”, “B”, “CCC”, “CC” and “C” are regarded, on balance, as predominantly speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. “BB” represents the lowest degree of speculation and “C” the highest degree of speculation. While such bonds will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse conditions. |
D | | — Bonds rated “D” are in default, and payment of interest and/or repayment of principal is in arrears. |
Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) — Numerical modifiers 1, 2 and 3 may be applied to each generic rating from “Aa” to “Caa,” where 1 is the highest and 3 the lowest rating within its generic category.
| | |
Aaa | | — Bonds rated “Aaa” are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as “gilt edge.” Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues. |
Aa | | — Bonds rated “Aa” are judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the “Aaa” group they comprise what are generally known as high grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as in “Aaa” securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in “Aaa” securities. |
A | | — Bonds rated “A” possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered as upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate, but elements may be present that suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time in the future. |
Baa | | — Bonds rated “Baa” are considered to be medium grade obligations, i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payment and principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as well. |
Ba | | — Bonds rated “Ba” are judged to have speculative elements; their future cannot be considered as well assured. Often the protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class. |
34 Travelers Series Fund Inc. | 2005 Semi-Annual Report
Bond Ratings (unaudited) (continued)
| | |
B | | — Bonds rated “B” generally lack characteristics of the desirable investments. Assurance of interest and principal payments or maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small. |
Caa and Ca | | — Bonds rated “Caa” and “Ca” are of poor standing. Such issues may be in default or present elements of danger with respect to principal or interest. |
C | | — Bonds rated “C” are the lowest rated class of bonds, and issues so rated can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing. |
Fitch Ratings (“Fitch’’) — Ratings from “AAA” to “CCC” may be modified by the additional of a plus (+) or a minus (-) sign to show relative standings with the major ratings categories.
| | |
AA | | — Bonds rated “AA” are considered to be investment-grade and of very high credit quality. The obligator’s ability to pay interest and/or dividends and repay principal is very strong. |
A | | — Bonds rated “A” are considered to have a low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered to be strong, but may be more vulnerable to changes in economic conditions and circumstances than bonds with higher ratings. |
BBB | | — Bonds rated “BBB” currently have a low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered to be adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances, however, are more likely to impair this capacity. This is the lowest investment grade category assigned by Fitch. |
BB | | — Bonds rated “BB” indicate that there is a possibility of credit risk developing, particularly as the result of adverse economic change over time; however, business of financial alternatives may be available to allow financial commitments to be met. |
B | | — Bonds rated “B” indicate that significant credit risk is present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial Commitments are currently being met; however, capacity for continued payment is contingent upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment. |
CCC, CC and C | | — Bonds rated “CCC”, “CC” and “C” carry the real possibility of defaulting. The capacity to meet financial commitments depends solely on a sustained, favorable business and economic environment. Default of some kind on bonds rated “CC” appears probable, a “C” rating indicates imminent default. |
NR | | — Indicates that the bond is not rated by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s or Fitch. |

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. | Organization and Significant Accounting Policies |
The Smith Barney International All Cap Growth Portfolio (“SBIACG”) and the SB Adjustable Rate Income Portfolio (“SBARIP”) are separate diversified investment funds of the Travelers Series Fund Inc. (“Company”). The Salomon Brothers Strategic Total Return Bond Portfolio (“SBSTRB”) is a separate non-diversified investment fund of the Company. The Company, a Maryland corporation, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company.
The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds 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. Debt securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked price provided by an independent pricing service that are based on transactions in debt obligations, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various relationship between securities. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. When prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect 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 Funds calculate their net asset value, the Funds may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
(b) Repurchase Agreements. When entering into repurchase agreements, it is the Funds’ policy that their custodian or a third party custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the market 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
44 Travelers Series Fund Inc. | 2005 Semi-Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
collateral. If the seller defaults, and the market 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 Funds may be delayed or limited.
(c) Financial Futures Contracts. The Funds may enter into financial futures contracts typically to hedge a portion of their portfolio. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit cash or securities as initial margin. Additional securities are also segregated up to the current market value of the financial futures contracts. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuation in the value of the underlying financial instruments. The Funds recognize an unrealized gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. When the financial futures contracts are closed, a realized gain or loss is recognized equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transactions and the Funds’ basis in the contracts.
The risks associated with entering into financial futures contracts include the possibility that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying instruments. In addition, investing in financial futures contracts involves the risk that the Funds could lose more than the original margin deposit and subsequent payments required for a futures transaction. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
(d) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. SBIACG and SBSTRB may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risk on its non-US dollar denominated securities or to facilitate settlement of foreign currency denominated portfolio transactions. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is extinguished, through either delivery or offset by entering into another forward foreign currency contract, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished.
45 Travelers Series Fund Inc. | 2005 Semi-Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
Forward foreign currency contracts involve elements of market risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign exchange rate underlying the forward foreign currency contract. Risks may also arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
(e) Lending of Portfolio Securities. The Funds have an agreement with their custodian whereby the custodian may lend securities owned by the Funds to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations. In exchange for lending securities under the terms of the agreement with its custodian, the Funds receive a lender’s fee. Fees earned by the Funds on securities lending are recorded as securities lending income. Loans of securities by the Funds are collateralized by cash, U.S. government securities or high quality money market instruments that are maintained at all times in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the loaned securities, plus a margin which varies depending on the type of securities loaned. The custodian establishes and maintains the collateral in a segregated account. The Funds have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
Funds maintain the risk of any loss on the securities on loan as well as the potential loss on investments purchased with cash collateral received from securities lending.
(f) Securities Traded on a To-Be-Announced Basis. The Funds may trade securities on a to-be-announced (“TBA”) basis. In a TBA transaction, the Funds commit to purchasing or selling securities, which have not yet been issued by the issuer and for which specific information is not known, such as the face amount and maturity date and the underlying pool of investments in U.S. government agency mortgage pass-through transactions. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Funds, normally 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date the Funds enter into a TBA transaction, cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid high-grade debt obligations are segregated in an amount equal in value to the purchase price of the TBA security. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and their current value is determined in the same manner as for other securities.
(g) Mortgage Dollar Rolls. SBSTRB and SBARIP may enter into dollar rolls in which the Funds sell mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current
46 Travelers Series Fund Inc. | 2005 Semi-Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
month and simultaneously contract to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities to settle on a specified future date. During the roll period, the Funds forgo principal and interest paid on the securities. The Funds are compensated by a fee paid by the counterparty, often in the form of a drop in the repurchase price of the securities. Dollar rolls are accounted for as financing arrangements; the fee is accrued into interest income ratably over the term of the dollar roll and any gain or loss on the roll is deferred and realized upon disposition of the rolled security.
The risk of entering into a mortgage dollar roll is that the market value of the securities the Funds are obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price. In the event the buyer of securities under a mortgage dollar roll files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Funds’ use of proceeds of the dollar roll may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Funds’ obligation to repurchase the securities.
(h) Fund Concentration. The investments by SBIACG and SBSTRB in foreign securities may involve risks not present in domestic investments. Since securities may be denominated in a foreign currency and may require settlement in foreign currencies and pay interest or dividends in foreign currencies, changes in the relationship of these foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar can significantly affect the value of the investments and earnings of SBIACG and SBSTRB. Foreign investments may also subject SBIACG and SBSTRB to foreign government exchange restrictions, expropriation, taxation or other political, social or economic developments, all of which could affect the market and/or credit risk of the investments. In addition to the risks described above, risks may arise from forward foreign currency contracts with respect to the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
(i) Credit and Market Risk. SBSTRB invests in high yield instruments that are subject to certain credit and market risks. The yields of high yield debt obligations reflect, among other things, perceived credit risk. The Fund’s investment in securities rated below investment grade typically involve risks not associated with higher rated securities including, among others, greater risk related to timely and ultimate payment of interest and principal, greater market price volatility and less liquid secondary market trading.
47 Travelers Series Fund Inc. | 2005 Semi-Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
(j) Security Transactions and Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practical after the Funds determine the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on an accrual basis. Gains or losses on the sale of securities are calculated by using the specific identification method.
(k) Foreign Currency Translation. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts based upon prevailing exchange rates on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts based upon prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, including gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, at the date of valuation, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of lower levels of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability.
(l) Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions from net investment income and distributions of net realized gains, if any, are declared at least annually. Distributions
48 Travelers Series Fund Inc. | 2005 Semi-Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
to shareholders of the Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
(m) Federal and Other Taxes. It is the Funds’ 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 Funds intend 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 in the Funds’ financial statements. Under the applicable foreign tax laws, a withholding tax may be imposed on interest, dividends and capital gains at various rates.
(n) Reclassification. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.
2. | Management Agreement and Transactions with Affiliates |
Smith Barney Fund Management LLC (“SBFM”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), acts as investment manager of SBIACG and SBARIP. SBIACG pays SBFM a management fee, which is calculated daily and payable monthly, at the rate of 0.85% of SBIACG’s average daily net assets.

SBARIP had a net capital loss carryforward of approximately $41,644, of which $2,911 expires in 2011 and $38,733 expires in 2012.

On May 31, 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued an order in connection with the settlement of an administrative proceeding against Smith Barney Fund Management LLC (“SBFM”) and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGMI”) relating to the appointment of an affiliated transfer agent for the Smith Barney family of mutual funds (the “Funds”).
The SEC order finds that SBFM and CGMI willfully violated Section 206(1) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”). Specifically, the order finds
53 Travelers Series Fund Inc. | 2005 Semi-Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
that SBFM and CGMI knowingly or recklessly failed to disclose to the boards of the Funds in 1999 when proposing a new transfer agent arrangement with an affiliated transfer agent that: First Data Investors Services Group (“First Data”), the Funds’ then-existing transfer agent, had offered to continue as transfer agent and do the same work for substantially less money than before; and that Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”), the Citigroup business unit that includes the fund’s investment manager and other investment advisory companies, had entered into a side letter with First Data under which CAM agreed to recommend the appointment of First Data as sub-transfer agent to the affiliated transfer agent in exchange, among other things, for a guarantee by First Data of specified amounts of asset management and investment banking fees to CAM and CGMI. The order also finds that SBFM and CGMI willfully violated Section 206(2) of the Advisers Act by virtue of the omissions discussed above and other misrepresentations and omissions in the materials provided to the Funds’ boards, including the failure to make clear that the affiliated transfer agent would earn a high profit for performing limited functions while First Data continued to perform almost all of the transfer agent functions, and the suggestion that the proposed arrangement was in the Funds’ best interests and that no viable alternatives existed. SBFM and CGMI do not admit or deny any wrongdoing or liability. The settlement does not establish wrongdoing or liability for purposes of any other proceeding.
The SEC censured SBFM and CGMI and ordered them to cease and desist from violations of Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Advisers Act. The order requires Citigroup to pay $208.1 million, including $109 million in disgorgement of profits, $19.1 million in interest, and a civil money penalty of $80 million. Approximately $24.4 million has already been paid to the Funds, primarily through fee waivers. The remaining $183.7 million, including the penalty, has been paid to the U.S. Treasury and will be distributed pursuant to a plan to be prepared by Citigroup and submitted within 90 days of the entry of the order for approval by the SEC. The order also requires that transfer agency fees received from the Funds since December 1, 2004 less certain expenses be placed in escrow and provides that a portion of such fees may be subsequently distributed in accordance with the terms of the order.
The order requires SBFM to recommend a new transfer agent contract to the Fund boards within 180 days of the entry of the order; if a Citigroup affiliate submits a proposal to serve as transfer agent or sub-transfer agent, an
54 Travelers Series Fund Inc. | 2005 Semi-Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
independent monitor must be engaged at the expense of SBFM and CGMI to oversee a competitive bidding process. Under the order, Citigroup also must comply with an amended version of a vendor policy that Citigroup instituted in August 2004. That policy, as amended, among other things, requires that when requested by a Fund board, CAM will retain at its own expense an independent consulting expert to advise and assist the board on the selection of certain service providers affiliated with Citigroup.
At this time, there is no certainty as to how the proceeds of the settlement will be distributed, to whom such distributions will be made, the methodology by which such distributions will be allocated, and when such distributions will be made. Although there can be no assurance, Citigroup does not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Funds.
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
55 Travelers Series Fund Inc. | 2005 Semi-Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
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.
On January 31, 2005, Citigroup announced that it had reached an agreement with MetLife, Inc. (“MetLife”) to sell Citigroup’s life insurance and annuity businesses (“Travelers Life & Annuity”) to MetLife. As part of this transaction, TIA, currently an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, would become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MetLife. TIA is the investment adviser to the Salomon Brothers Strategic Total Return Bond Portfolio.
The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals, as well as other customary conditions to closing. The transaction is scheduled to close on June 30, 2005.
In connection with this transaction, at meetings held on March 24, 2005 and April 20, 2005, the Board of Directors approved a proposal to reorganize the Salomon Brothers Strategic Total Return Bond Portfolio (the “Acquired Fund”) of Travelers Series Fund Inc., into a newly organized “shell” portfolio (the “Acquiring Fund”) of The Travelers Series Trust. In connection with the reorganization, the Acquiring Fund would acquire all of the assets and assume the liabilities of the Acquired Fund.
The proposed reorganization is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, including approval by the Acquired Fund shareholders. Proxy materials describing the proposed reorganization were mailed on or about June 9, 2005, to the Acquired Fund shareholders of record on April 15, 2005, in anticipation of a meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on June 29, 2005. If approved by the Acquired Fund shareholders, the reorganization will occur as soon as possible after the shareholder meeting.

On June 24, 2005, Citigroup announced that it has signed a definitive agreement under which Citigroup will sell substantially all of its worldwide asset management business to Legg Mason, Inc. (“Legg Mason”).
As part of this transaction, SBFM (the “Manager”), currently an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Citigroup, would become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Legg Mason. The Manager is the investment manager to SBIACG and SBARIP.
The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals, as well as other customary conditions to closing. Subject to such approvals and the satisfaction of the other conditions, Citigroup expects the transaction to be completed later this year.
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, consummation of the transaction will result in the automatic termination of the investment management contract between SBIACG, SBARIP and the Manager. Therefore, the Board of Directors for SBIACG and SBARIP will be asked to approve a new investment management contract between SBIACG, SBARIP and the Manager. If approved by the Board, the new investment management contract will be presented to the shareholders of SBIACG and SBARIP for their approval.
