PROXY STATEMENT
INTRODUCTION
This proxy statement is being furnished in connection with the
solicitation
of proxies by the Board of Directors of Managed Municipals Portfolio Inc. (the
"Portfolio") for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Portfolio,
to
be held on September 28, 1994, or any adjournment or adjournments thereof
(collectively, the "Meeting"). The Meeting will be held at Two World Trade
Center, 100th Floor, New York, New York, at 10:00 a.m. This proxy statement
and
accompanying proxy card are first being mailed on or about August 3, 1994.
Proxy
solicitations will be made primarily by mail, but proxy solicitations also may
be made by telephone, telegraph or personal interviews conducted by officers
and
employees of the Portfolio; the Greenwich Street Advisors Division of Mutual
Management Corp. (the "Adviser"), the adviser for the Portfolio; The Boston
Company Advisors, Inc., sub-administrator for the Portfolio ("Boston
Advisors");
and/or The Shareholder Services Group, Inc. ("TSSG"), a subsidiary of First
Data
Corporation, the transfer agent for the Portfolio. The costs of proxy
solicitation and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of this
proxy statement and its enclosures will be paid by the Portfolio. The
Portfolio
will also reimburse brokerage firms and others for their expenses in
forwarding
solicitation material to the beneficial owners of Portfolio shares. The Annual
Report of the Portfolio, including audited financial statements for the fiscal
year ended May 31, 1994, has previously been or is being furnished to all
shareholders of the Portfolio.
If the enclosed proxy is properly executed and returned in time to be
voted at the Meeting, the shares represented thereby will be voted in
accordance with the instructions marked thereon. Unless instructions to the
contrary are marked thereon, a proxy will be voted FOR each of the nominees
for
director and FOR the other matters listed in the accompanying Notice of Annual
Meeting of Shareholders. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum
for transacting business at the Meeting, abstentions and broker "non-votes"
(that is, proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have
not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled
to vote shares on
1
a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have
discretionary power) will be treated as shares that are present but which have
not been voted. Approval of Proposals 1 and 2 require the affirmative vote of
a
majority of shares voted. Because abstentions and broker non-votes are not
treated as shares voted, abstentions and broker non-votes would have no impact
on such Proposals. Any shareholder who has given a proxy has the right to
revoke
it at any time prior to its exercise either by attending the Meeting and
voting
his or her shares in person or by submitting a letter of revocation or a
later-dated proxy to the Portfolio at the above address prior to the date of
the
Meeting.
In the event that a quorum is not present at a Meeting, or in the event
that a quorum is present but sufficient votes to approve any of the proposals
are not received, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more
adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. In
determining whether to adjourn the Meeting, the following factors may be
considered: the nature of the proposals that are the subject of the Meeting,
the
percentage of votes actually cast, the percentage of negative votes actually
cast, the nature of any further solicitation and the information to be
provided
to shareholders with respect to the reasons for the solicitation. Any
adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares
represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy. A shareholder vote may be
taken on any one of the proposals in this proxy statement prior to any
adjournment if sufficient votes have been received for approval. Under the
By-laws of the Portfolio, as applicable, a quorum is constituted by the
presence
in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
entitled to vote on the particular matter at the Meeting.
The Board has fixed the close of business on July 5, 1994 as the record
date (the "Record Date") for the determination of shareholders of the
Portfolio
entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. The Portfolio has one class
of
common stock, which has a par value of $.001 per share. At the close of
business
on the Record Date there were 34,495,979.416 shares of common stock
outstanding
(the "Shares"). Each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each Share held
and
a proportionate fraction of a vote for any fractional share held.
As of the Record Date, to the knowledge of the Portfolio and its Board,
no
single shareholder or "group" (as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")), except as set forth
below, beneficially owned more than 5% of the outstanding Shares of the
Portfolio. As of the Record Date, Cede & Co., a nominee partnership of the
Depository Trust Company, held 33,350,415 Shares, or 96% of the Portfolio's
Shares. Of the Shares held by Cede & Co., Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith Barney")
held of 30,547,309 Shares, or 88% of the Portfolio's Shares, for which it has
discretionary and non-discretionary authority. As of the Record Date, the
officers
2
and Board Members of the Portfolio as a group beneficially owned less than 1%
of
the shares of that Portfolio.
In order that a shareholder's Shares may be represented at the Meeting,
shareholders are required to allow sufficient time for their proxies to be
received on or before 10:00 a.m. on September 28, 1994.
The following table shows certain information about the executive
officers
of the Portfolio, other than Heath B. McLendon, for whom comparable
information
is provided in the discussion of Proposal 1 below. Each officer of the
Portfolio

PROPOSAL 1: TO ELECT THREE (3) DIRECTORS OF THE PORTFOLIO
The first proposal to be considered at the Meeting is the election of
three
(3) Directors of the Portfolio.
The Board of Directors of the Portfolio is divided into three classes
with
the terms of office of one class expiring each year. At the forthcoming
Meeting,
it is proposed that Martin Brody and Allan J. Bloostein each be elected for
a term of three years (until the Annual Meeting in 1997) and that Robert A.
Frankel
be elected for a term of one year (until the Annual Meeting in 1995), in each
case
until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. Messrs.
Brody
and Bloostein have previously been elected by the shareholders and are
currently
serving as Class I Directors. Mr. Frankel is currently serving as a Class II
Director.
Messrs. Brody, Bloostein and Frankel have consented to serve as Directors
if elected at the Meeting. If a designated nominee declines or otherwise
becomes
unavailable for election, however, the proxy confers discretionary power on
the
persons named therein to vote in favor of a substitute nominee or nominees.
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Portfolio's officers and
Directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a
registered class of the Portfolio's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the New
York
Stock Exchange and the Portfolio. Based solely upon its review of the copies
of
such forms received by it and written representations from such persons, the
Portfolio believes that, during fiscal year 1993, all filing requirements
applicable to such persons were complied with.
Each Director who is not an "interested person" of the Portfolio (an
"Independent Board Member") receives a fee of $5,000 per annum plus $500 per
meeting attended, and reimbursement for travel and out-of-pocket expenses. The
aggregate remuneration paid to Directors by the Portfolio for the fiscal year
ended May 31, 1994 amounted to $35,775 (including reimbursement for travel and
out-of-pocket expenses). The Board of Directors held five meetings during the
fiscal year ended May 31, 1994, four of which were regular meetings.
The Board has an Audit Committee consisting of all Independent Board
Members. The Audit Committee reviews the scope and results of the Portfolio's
annual audit with the Portfolio's independent accountants and recommends the
engagement of accountants. The Audit Committee met twice during the fiscal
year
ended May 31, 1994. Each incumbent Director attended at least 75% of the
meetings of the Board and committees of which he is a member that were held in
the last fiscal year.
Each of the nominees for Director of the Portfolio currently serves as a
Director of the Portfolio. Any Director may resign and any Director may be
removed at any meeting of shareholders called for that purpose by a vote of a
majority of the votes entitled to be cast for election of Directors. In case a
5
vacancy shall exist for any reason, the remaining Directors may fill the
vacancy
by appointing another Director. If at any time less than a majority of the
Directors holding office have been elected by shareholders, the Directors then
in office will call a shareholders meeting for the purpose of electing
Directors.
Set forth in the following table are the existing Directors and nominees
for election to the Board of Directors of the Portfolio, together with certain
other information:

May 31, 1994, and has been selected to serve in this capacity for the

affiliates. Representatives of Coopers & Lybrand are expected to be present at
the Meeting and will be given the opportunity to make a statement if they so
desire and will respond to appropriate questions.
REQUIRED VOTE
Ratification of the selection of Coopers & Lybrand as independent
accountants for the Portfolio requires the affirmative vote of the holders of

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
INVESTMENT ADVISER
Greenwich Street Advisors (the "Adviser"), located at Two World Trade
Center, New York, New York 10048, has served as the investment adviser to the
Portfolio since July 30, 1993 pursuant to an investment advisory agreement
dated
July 30, 1993 (the "Advisory Agreement"). The Adviser (through its
predecessors)
has been in the investment counseling business since 1934 and is a division of
Mutual Management Corp. ("MMC") which was incorporated in 1978. The Adviser
renders investment advice to investment companies that had assets under
management as of June 30, 1994 in excess of $39.1 billion. MMC is a wholly
owned
subsidiary of Smith Barney which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of The
Travelers Inc. ("Travelers"). The principal executive offices of Smith Barney
and Travelers are 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10105, and
65
East 55th Street, New York, New York 10022, respectively.
8
Prior to July 30, 1993, Shearson Lehman Advisors, a member of the
investment management group of the SLB Asset Management Division of Shearson
Lehman Brothers, served as investment adviser to the Portfolio. As of the
close
of business on July 30, 1993, Travelers (which at the time was known as
Primerica Corporation) and Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Co. Incorporated
completed the acquisition of substantially all of the domestic retail
brokerage
and asset management businesses of Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc., and Smith
Barney, Harris Upham & Co. Incorporated was renamed Smith Barney Shearson Inc.
As of June 1, 1994, Smith Barney Shearson Inc. was renamed Smith Barney Inc.
As
of the close of business on July 30, 1993, the Adviser succeeded Shearson
Lehman
Advisors as the Portfolio's investment adviser. The new investment advisory
agreement with the Adviser contains terms and conditions substantially similar
to the investment advisory agreement with the predecessor investment adviser
and
provides for payment of fees at the same rate as was paid to such predecessor
investment adviser.
As of the Record Date, the Directors and/or executive officers of the
Portfolio beneficially owned (or were deemed to beneficially own pursuant to
the
rules of the SEC) less than 1% of the shares of common stock of Travelers. The
name, principal occupation and address of each director and principal
executive
officer of the Adviser are set forth in Exhibit A hereto. An audited balance
sheet for MMC as of December 31, 1993 is set forth as Exhibit B hereto.
THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Advisory Agreement was most recently approved by the Portfolio's
Board
of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Board Members on April
7,
1993, and by the Portfolio's shareholders on June 9, 1993, pursuant to an
undertaking to the SEC to submit the Advisory Agreement to shareholders for
their approval at the first meeting of shareholders. Under the terms of the
Agreement, the Adviser is required, subject to the supervision and approval of
the Board of the Portfolio, to manage the Portfolio's investments in
accordance
with the investment objectives and policies as stated in the Portfolio's
Prospectus. The Adviser is responsible for making investment decisions,
supplying investment research and portfolio management services and placing
orders to purchase and sell securities on behalf of the Portfolio.
In consideration of services rendered by the Adviser pursuant to the
Advisory Agreement, the Portfolio pays a monthly fee at the annual rate of
.70%
of the Portfolio's average monthly net assets. Pursuant to the Advisory
Agreement, the Portfolio paid a total of $3,122,879 in advisory fees for the
fiscal year ended May 31, 1994.
The Adviser bears all expenses in connection with the performance of its
services under the Advisory Agreement. Other expenses incurred in the
operation
of the Portfolio are borne by the Portfolio, including taxes, interest,
brokerage
9
fees and commissions, if any; fees of the Board Members who are not officers,
directors, shareholders or employees of the Adviser, the Portfolio's
administrator or sub-administrator and its affiliates; SEC fees and state blue
sky qualification fees; charges of custodian and transfer and dividend
disbursing agents; certain insurance premiums; outside auditing and legal
expenses; cost of investor services (including allocable telephone and
personnel
expenses); costs of preparation and printing of shareholders' reports; costs
incurred in connection with meetings of the Board and of the shareholders of
the
Portfolio; listing fees; and any extraordinary expenses.
If in any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio (including
fees pursuant to the Advisory Agreement (and the administration agreement) but
excluding interest, taxes, brokerage and, if permitted by state securities
commissions, extraordinary expenses) exceed the expense limitation of any
state
having jurisdiction over the Portfolio, the Adviser will reduce its advisory
fees to the Portfolio for the excess expense to the extent required by state
law
in the same proportion as its advisory fee bears to the Portfolio's aggregate
fees for investment advice and administration. Proportionate reductions would
also be made by the Portfolio's administrator. This expense reimbursement, if
any, will be estimated, reconciled and paid on a monthly basis.
The Advisory Agreement provides that in the absence of willful
misfeasance,
bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its obligations
thereunder,
the Adviser shall not be liable for any act or omission in the course of, or
in
connection with, the rendering of its services thereunder.
Pursuant to its terms, the Advisory Agreement will remain in effect for
an
initial two-year term and will continue in effect for successive periods if
and
so long as such continuance is specifically approved annually by (a) the
Portfolio's Board or (b) a Majority Vote of the Portfolio's shareholders,
provided that in either event, the continuance also is approved by a majority
of
the Independent Board Members by vote cast in person at a meeting called for
the
purpose of voting on approval. The Advisory Agreement is terminable, without
penalty, on 60 days' written notice by the Board of the Portfolio or by a
Majority Vote of the Portfolio's shareholders, or on 90 days' written notice
by
the Adviser. The Advisory Agreement will terminate automatically in the event
of
its assignment (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended).
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Decisions to buy and sell securities for the Portfolio are made by the
Adviser, subject to the overall review of the Portfolio's Board. Although
investment decisions for the Portfolio are made independently from those of
the
other accounts managed by the Adviser, investments of the type the Portfolio
may
make also may be made by those other accounts. When the Portfolio and one or
more other accounts managed by the Adviser are prepared to invest in, or
desire
10
to dispose of, the same security, available investments or opportunities for
sales will be allocated in a manner believed by the Adviser to be equitable to
each. In some cases, this procedure may adversely affect the price paid or
received by the Portfolio or the size of the position obtained or disposed of
by
the Portfolio.
Transactions on U.S. stock exchanges and many foreign stock exchanges
involve the payment of negotiated brokerage commissions. On exchanges on which
commissions are negotiated, the cost of transactions may vary among different
brokers. No stated commission is generally applicable to securities traded in
U.S. over-the-counter markets, but the prices of those securities include
undisclosed commissions or mark-ups. The cost of securities purchased from
underwriters includes an underwriting commission or concession and the prices
at
which securities are repurchased from and sold to dealers include a dealer's
mark-up or mark-down. U.S. government securities are generally purchased from
underwriters or dealers, although certain newly-issued U.S. government
securities may be purchased directly from the United States Treasury or from
the
issuing agency or instrumentality.
In selecting brokers or dealers to execute portfolio transactions on
behalf
of the Portfolio, the Adviser seeks the best overall terms available. In
assessing the best overall terms available for any transaction, the Adviser
will
consider the factors it deems relevant, including the breadth of the market in
the security, the price of the security, the financial condition and execution
capability of the broker or dealer and the reasonableness of the commission,
if
any, for the specific transaction and on a continuing basis. In addition, the
Adviser is authorized, in selecting brokers or dealers to execute a particular
transaction and in evaluating the best overall terms available, to consider
the
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e)
of
the Exchange Act) provided to the Portfolio and/or other accounts over which
the
Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. The fees under an
Agreement are not reduced by reason of the Portfolio's or the Adviser's
receiving brokerage and research services. Research and investment services
are
those which brokerage houses customarily provide to institutional investors
and
include statistical and economic data and research reports on particular
issues
and industries. These services are used by the Adviser in connection with all
of
its investment activities, and some of the services obtained in connection
with
the execution of transactions for the Portfolio may be used in managing other
investment accounts. Conversely, brokers furnishing these services may be
selected for the execution of transactions for these other accounts, whose
aggregate assets may exceed those of the Portfolio, and the services furnished
by the brokers may be used by the Adviser in providing investment management
for
the Portfolio. During the last fiscal year of the Portfolio, neither the
Portfolio nor its Adviser, pursuant to any agreement or understanding with a
broker or otherwise through an internal allocation procedure, directed the
Portfolio's brokerage transactions to a broker or brokers because of research
services provided. The Board of the Portfolio periodically will
11
review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to determine if the commissions
paid over representative periods of time were reasonable in relation to the
benefits inuring to the Portfolio. Over-the-counter purchases and sales by the
Portfolio are transacted directly with principal market makers except in those
cases in which better prices and executions may be obtained elsewhere.
To the extent consistent with applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and
the
rules and exemptions adopted by the SEC under the 1940 Act, subject to the
approval of the Board of the Portfolio, transactions for the Portfolio may be
executed through Smith Barney and other affiliated broker-dealers if, in the
judgment of the Adviser, the use of an affiliated broker-dealer is likely to
result in price and execution at least as favorable as those of other
qualified
broker-dealers.
The Portfolio will not purchase any security, including U.S. government
securities, during the existence of any underwriting or selling group relating
to the security of which Smith Barney is a member, except to the extent
permitted by the SEC.
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 1994, the Portfolio did not incur any
brokerage commissions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
Mutual Management Corp.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial
condition of Mutual Management Corp. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Smith
Barney
Holdings Inc.) and its Subsidiary as of December 31, 1993. This consolidated
financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this consolidated financial
statement
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated statement of financial
condition is free of material misstatement. An audit of a consolidated
statement
of financial condition includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated statement of financial
condition. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit of the
consolidated
statement of financial condition provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated statement of financial condition
referred
to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Mutual Management Corp. and its Subsidiary as of December 31, 1994 in
conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES:
(1) Organization -- Mutual Management Corp. ("MMC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Smith Barney Shearson Holdings, Inc. ("Parent") (formerly Smith Barney
Holdings, Inc.), is a registered investment adviser and acts pursuant to
management agreements as investment manager to sixty-eight investment
company portfolios and as administrator of The Inefficient-Market Fund,
Inc. MMC provides each company with personnel, investment advice, office
space and administrative services at fees based on the net assets of each
fund. The consolidated statement of financial condition includes the
accounts of Smith Barney Asset Management Corp., a wholly-owned
subsidiary
of MMC. Significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
B-2
(2) Shearson Acquisition -- On July 31, 1993, Smith Barney, Harris Upham &
Co.
Incorporated ("SBHU"), together with certain of its affiliates (including
MMC) and The Travelers Inc. (formerly Primerica Corporation) acquired the
domestic retail brokerage and asset management businesses ("Shearson") of
Shearson Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries, a subsidiary
of American Express Company. Shearson was combined with the operations of
SBHU and its affiliates, and SBHU was renamed Smith Barney Shearson Inc.
("SBS"). The acquisition included the contracts to manage fifty-one of
Shearson's investment company portfolios.
(3) Related Party Transactions -- SBS provides MMC with executive and
administrative services (e.g., accounting, legal, personnel, facilities,
mail and other support services) and order processing support on a basis
mutually agreed upon. Receivable from and payable to affiliate are non-
interest bearing. Investments in affiliated mutual funds represent shares
of Smith Barney Money Funds, Inc., Smith Barney Muni Funds and Smith
Barney
Tax Free Money Fund, Inc. Such investments are carried at market value.
In
1993, MMC transferred a deferred tax liability, resulting from the
adoption
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109 on January 1, 1992,
to the Parent pursuant to a tax sharing agreement. The resulting payable
to
Parent is non-interest bearing. Substantially all cash collected by MMC
relating to management fees is remitted to the Parent in the form of
dividends.
(4) Income Taxes -- Under an income tax allocation arrangement with the
Parent
and The Travelers Inc., MMC's federal, state and local income taxes are
provided for on a separate return basis without regard to timing
differences, and are subject to the utilization of tax attributes in The
Travelers Inc. consolidated income tax provision. Under the tax sharing
agreement, MMC remits taxes to the Parent.
(5) Investment Advisory Contracts -- Investment advisory contracts include
$387,015,720 of value ascribed to the acquired Shearson investment
company
portfolios purchased by MMC (see note 2). The cost of these contracts is
being amortized over twenty years on a straight-line basis.
In addition, the balance also includes the amortized cost assigned to
certain investment advisory contracts in connection with the acquisition
of
the Parent by Commercial Credit Group, Inc. in December 1988. The
combined
successor firm subsequently changed its name to Primerica Corporation
(now
The Travelers Inc.). The cost of these contracts is being amortized over
thirty years on a straight-line basis.
(6) Notes Payable -- At December 31, 1993 note payable to Parent represents a
demand note at a rate of LIBOR plus .75%. The note was issued for the
financing of investment advisory contracts (purchased on July 31, 1993
B-3
(see note 2) and certain deferred expenses originally paid by SBS
relating
to closed end funds sponsored by MMC.
On November 1, 1993 MMC paid the third and final installment of a
promissory note to SBS relating to the transferral of the investment
advisory contract for the Vantage Money Market Funds from SBS in October,
1990.
(7) Stockholder's Equity -- Common shares authorized consist of 5,000 shares
of
Class A (non-voting) and 5,000 shares of Class B (voting). At December
31,
1993, 449 Class A shares and 51 Class B shares were issued and
outstanding.
In connection with the acquisition of Smith Barney Inc. by Primerica
Corporation on June 19, 1987 and the subsequent acquisition of Primerica
Corporation by Commercial Credit Group, Inc. in December 1988, MMC was
recapitalized and its retained earnings on both dates were transferred to
additional paid-in capital.
