IBC LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN [PHOTO] R. Jay Gerken R. JAY GERKEN, CFA Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Dear Shareholder, The funds' fiscal year was a time of heightened market volatility. At the beginning of the period in November 2002, the economic environment was dominated by geopolitical tension, corporate scandals, declining consumer confidence and concerns regarding the general strength of the global economy. The months leading up to the war in Iraq were times of apprehension and caution. Businesses and consumers alike chose to slow their spending due to war-related uncertainty. Consequently, the U.S. economy and the stock market in general remained weak through the first quarter of 2003. However, when the U.S.-led coalition entered Iraq in late March and investors turned their attention to a pending stabilization in the outlook for corporate earnings, the U.S. stock market rebounded. Unlike previous rallies over the past three years, this one proved sustainable, and stock prices generally rose through the end of the funds' fiscal year in October 2003. If you have any questions about recent economic events or investing in a recovering economy, we urge you to talk with your financial adviser. Please read on to learn more about your funds' performance and the Manager's strategy. As always, thank you for entrusting your assets to us. We look forward to helping you continue to meet your financial goals. Sincerely, /s/ R Jay Gerken R.

In comparison, the fund outperformed its large-cap growth benchmark, the unmanaged Russell 1000 Growth Index,/i/ which returned 21.81% for the same period, but underperformed its small-cap growth and mid-cap benchmarks, the unmanaged Russell 2000 Growth Index/ii/ and the unmanaged S&P MidCap 400 Index,/iii/ which returned 46.56% and 30.61%, respectively, for the same period. The fund also outperformed its Lipper peer group of variable multi-cap growth funds, which had an average return of 27.50% for the same period./1/ Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Waning Uncertainties Buoyed Equity Market When the period began, rising tensions and the eventual armed conflict between U.S.-led coalition forces and Iraq, the sudden and rapid spread of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome ("SARS"), as well as ongoing revelations of misdeeds by a number of corporations and their officers had a profoundly negative impact on business, consumer and investor confidence and on an already fragile global economy. The end of major hostilities in Iraq removed some of the uncertainties that had slowed economic recovery in the U.S. Throughout the period, the Fed continued its highly accommodative monetary policy, maintaining key interest rates at four-decade lows as additional tax relief measures worked their way through the U.S. Congress. Toward the end of the period, this accommodative policy and improving investor confidence buoyed the equity markets, offering some measure of relief for equity investors. By the end of the third calendar quarter of 2003, for the first time since 1999, many of the major U.S. stock indexes had posted back-to-back quarterly gains. The third quarter also saw economic indicators, including Gross Domestic Product/iv/ and employment figures, show signs of improvement. Contributors to Fund Performance/2/ Amidst this environment, the fund experienced positive returns, driven largely by holdings in the Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology sectors. The top contributors to performance for the period included Amazon.com, Inc., an Internet retailer in the Consumer Discretionary sector and in the Industrials sector, Career Education Corp., an owner and operator of private, career-oriented schools. Other stocks that helped performance included holdings in the Information Technology sector, namely Texas Instruments Inc. and Intel Corp., both manufacturers of semiconductors and related devices for use in computers and electronic equipment. Shares of retailer Coach, Inc., in the Consumer Discretionary sector, a producer of luxury leather goods and accessories, were another major contributor to performance for the period. While fund performance for the period was positive overall, some stocks in the fund's portfolio lost value during the period, primarily those in the Healthcare sector. Specific stocks that hurt performance include CACI International Inc. in the Information /1/ Lipper Inc. is a major independent mutual-fund tracking organization. Returns are based on the period ended October 31, 2003, calculated among 104 funds for the 12-month period in the fund's Lipper peer group including the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. /2/ Portfolio holdings and breakdowns are as of October 31, 2003 and are subject to change. The fund's top ten holdings as of this date were: Amazon.com, Inc. (4.74%); Texas Instruments Inc. (3.56%); Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (3.23%); The Coca Cola Co. (2.78%); The Gillette Co. (2.38%); Career Education Corp. (2.30%); Microsoft Corp. (2.21%); Amgen Inc. (2.12%); Merck & Co. Inc. (2.02%); The Home Depot, Inc. (1.98%). 3 Smith Barney Investment Series | 2003 Annual Report Technology sector and PETCO Animal Supplies Inc. in the Consumer Discretionary sector. Shares of both PacifiCare Health Systems Inc. and diversified healthcare product maker Johnson & Johnson, in the Healthcare sector, lost value over the period, as did stock of Commerce Bancorp Inc. in the Financials sector. At the end of the 12-month period, the fund's most heavily weighted holding was in Amazon.com, Inc. followed by the fund's position in Texas Instruments Inc. Shares of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., a holding company for billionaire Warren Buffett's investments, primarily in the insurance industry accounted for the third biggest weight in the portfolio, with holdings in soft-drink giant The Coca-Cola Co. and The Gillette Co., a maker of shaving supplies and other consumer products, as the fourth and fifth biggest, respectively.

Improving Environment for Stocks The U.S. equity market rallied sharply during the six months ended October 31, as investors responded to a number of positive developments. The end of major combat in Iraq, a rebound in consumer confidence, and improved corporate profits all helped buoy stocks. Accommodative monetary and fiscal policy also contributed to the market's advance as the Fed lowered the federal funds rate/ii/ in June another quarter of a percent to 1.0%, a four-decade low. On the fiscal front, Congress passed a tax reduction package that included rate reductions on capital gains and dividends. From August through October, the economy grew at its fastest pace since 1984. The recent performance of the U.S. economy has supported an improvement in investor sentiment and corporate earnings. This economic environment proved to be a favorable one for the fund, as evidenced by its returns for the period. Drivers of Fund Performance/2/ In this market environment, the fund experienced positive returns, with performance fueled largely by holdings in the Information Technology sector. Shares of semiconductor maker Intel Corp., computer networking firm Cisco Systems, Inc. and data management specialist VERITAS Software Corp., all in the Information Technology sector, were the leading contributors to the fund's positive performance for the period. Other major contributors to performance included stock of General Electric Co., a producer of a wide range of commercial technologies and equipment in the Industrials sector, along with shares of banking and financial services giant J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. in the Financials sector. While fund performance for the period was positive overall, some stocks in the fund's portfolio lost value during the period, several of which were in the Healthcare sector including hospital operator HCA Inc., pharmaceutical firm Merck & Co. Inc. and diversified health care product supplier Johnson & Johnson. Other stocks that detracted from performance for the period include insurance company American International Group, Inc. in the Financials sector and packaged-foods giant Kraft Foods Inc. At the end of the 12-month period, the fund's most heavily weighted holding was in oil company Exxon Mobil Corp., followed by shares of pharmaceutical firm Pfizer Inc., Intel Corp., General Electric Co. and software titan Microsoft Corp. /1/ Lipper Inc. is a major independent mutual-fund tracking organization.

Contributors to Fund Performance/2/ This economic environment proved to be a favorable one for the fund, as evidenced by its returns for the period. The leading individual contributor to the fund's performance for the period was its position in electronics retailer Best Buy Co., Inc. in the Consumer Discretionary sector.

A Vacillating Government Bond Market Early in the period, in the wake of a sputtering U.S. economy, the conflict with Iraq and more pronounced concerns about North Korea's nuclear program, U.S. Treasuries vacillated but performed relatively well as investors in search of safer-haven investments turned to U.S. government securities. In May, Treasury bond prices rose significantly in anticipation that the Fed would lower its target for short-term rates to create a more accommodative borrowing environment (as prices of bonds move opposite to interest rates and yields). In June, the Fed proceeded to lower its interest rate targets to their lowest levels since the Eisenhower Administration. Given the combination of rate cuts and a significant tax-cut package passed by lawmakers this year, it seemed that the U.S. government was going to throw "everything but the kitchen sink" at the economy in an attempt to revive its growth. Shortly after the Fed's rate reduction, U.S. Treasury bonds sold off. Treasury prices spiraled lower in July due to stronger-than-expected economic data, which generated interest rate concerns. For example, yields on the two-year Treasury note edged higher from July through August as estimates of Gross Domestic Product ("GDP")/ii /growth soared. The decline was exacerbated due to selling from investors holding mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") in their portfolios. Many investors who had previously bought Treasuries when long-term yields were dropping to help hedge their portfolios' exposure to MBS reversed course as yields rose in July by selling Treasuries to help lower the duration/iii/ to better preserve the value of their portfolios against a further rise in long-term rates. Although Treasury bonds fluctuated significantly in July, the prices of mortgage-backed securities held up considerably better that month. Prices of Treasuries bounced back in September as investors questioned the strength of 2004 economic growth, but rate concerns resurfaced after the Commerce Department released preliminary third-quarter economic data stating that the economy grew at its fastest pace in almost 20 years. However, selling in the Treasury markets was more contained than in July as some of this growth was attributable to one-time factors, such as the tax cuts and end of the war, and many analysts and investors felt that the Fed appeared to be in a holding pattern from adjusting its rate targets. Domestic market participants have recently continued to debate the sustainability of economic growth into 2004 with particular attention fixed on the employment situation, which has remained rather tepid. The Fed has recently held interest rates steady, although investor /1/ Lipper Inc. is a major independent mutual-fund tracking organization. Returns are based on the period ended October 31, 2003, calculated among 50 funds for the 12-month period in the fund's Lipper peer group including the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and excluding sales charges. 12 Smith Barney Investment Series | 2003 Annual Report interpretation of just what the Fed means by being on hold for "a considerable period" of time proved to be fickle. Looking back, the residential MBS market has been a focus of market attention this past year. Hedging activity among investors against rapidly changing MBS characteristics likely caused long-term rates to fall further than they otherwise may have. Portfolio Changes During the Period During the period, the fund significantly reduced its exposure to U.S. Treasury obligations and raised its position in mortgage-backed securities. We strategically allocated the portfolio to MBS, U.S. Treasuries, agencies and asset-backed securities. Some of the portfolio's underperformance was due to the extreme volatility of the Treasury market, which resulted in a high degree of prepayments on the portfolio's MBS. Also, being longer than the benchmark in duration recently detracted from performance, as long-term rates rose. Typically, MBS have tended to perform more favorably in environments when interest rate volatility is low. While a substantial portion of the portfolio's holdings are in MBS, we maintained a view during the period that there remains potential opportunity in this asset class at various levels, and we continued to allocate to this sector. Although interest rate fluctuations can be unpredictable, as of the period's close we maintained a more defensive posture in terms of the portfolio's exposure to interest rate risk, relative to prior periods. We plan to remain attentive to the interest rate environment while seeking competitive yields. Thank you for your investment in the SB Government Portfolio.

Significant Accounting Policies The Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth Portfolio, Smith Barney Large Cap Core Portfolio, Smith Barney Growth and Income Portfolio, and SB Government Portfolio (formerly known as Smith Barney Government Portfolio) ("Funds") are separate investment funds of the Smith Barney Investment Series ("Trust"). The Trust, a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, ("1940 Act") as a diversified open-end management investment company and consists of these Funds and three other separate retail investment funds: Smith Barney Large Cap Core Fund, SB Growth and Income Fund (formerly known as Smith Barney Growth and Income Fund) and Smith Barney International Fund (formerly known as Smith Barney International Aggressive Growth Fund). The financial statements and financial highlights for the other funds are presented in separate shareholder reports. The significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds are: (a) security transactions are accounted for on trade date; (b) securities traded on national securities markets are valued at the closing prices on such markets or, if there were no sales during the day, at fair value determined by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees; securities primarily traded on foreign exchanges are generally valued at the preceding closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges, except that when a significant event, subsequent to the time a value was so established, is likely to have significantly changed the value then, the fair value of those securities will be determined by consideration of other factors by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees or its delegates; over-the-counter securities are valued on the basis of the bid price at the close of business on each day; U.S. government and agency obligations are valued at the average between bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market; 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; (c) securities maturing within 60 days are valued at cost plus accreted discount or minus amortized premium, which approximates value; (d) securities for which market quotations are not available will be valued in good faith at fair value by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees; (e) interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount is recorded on the accrual basis; (f ) 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; (g) gains or losses on the sale of securities are calculated by using the specific identification method; (h) dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Funds on the ex-dividend date; the Funds distribute dividends and capital gains, if any, annually; (i) the accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. Differences between income and expense amounts recorded and collected or paid are adjusted when reported by the custodian bank; (j) realized gain and loss on foreign currency includes the net realized amount from the sale of currency and the amount realized between trade date and settlement date on security transactions; (k) the character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. At October 31, 2003, reclassifications were made to the capital accounts of the Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth, Smith Barney Growth and Income and SB Government Portfolios to reflect permanent book/tax differences and income and gains available for distributions under income tax regulations. Accordingly, accumulated net investment loss amounting to $24,214 was reclassified to paid-in capital for the Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth Portfolio. Net investment loss, net realized loss and net assets were not affected by this adjustment; (l) each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, pertaining to regulated investment companies and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all Federal income and excise taxes; and (m) 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. 34 Smith Barney Investment Series | 2003 Annual Report Notes to Financial Statements (continued) In addition, the Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth Portfolio may enter into forward exchange contracts in order to hedge against foreign currency risk. These contracts are marked-to-market daily, by recognizing the difference between the contract exchange rate and the current market rate as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses are recognized when contracts are settled or offset by entering into another forward exchange contract. The Funds may from time to time enter into options and/or futures contracts in order to hedge market or currency risk. 2. Investment 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 Funds. The Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth, Smith Barney Large Cap Core and Smith Barney Growth and Income Portfolios pay SBFM a management fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of each Fund respectively, and the SB Government Portfolio pays SBFM a management fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets. These fees are calculated daily and paid monthly. Citicorp Trust Bank, fsb. ("CTB"), another subsidiary of Citigroup, acts as the Funds' transfer agent. PFPC Inc. ("PFPC") acts as the Funds' 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 October 31, 2003, each Fund paid transfer agent fees of $5,000 to CTB. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("CGM") (formerly known as Salomon Smith Barney Inc.), another indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, acts as the Funds' distributor. For the year ended October 31, 2003, CGM and its affiliates received $2,514 in brokerage commissions for the Funds' agency transactions. All officers and one Trustee of the Trust are employees of Citigroup or its affiliates. The Trustees of the Funds have adopted a Retirement Plan ("Plan") for all Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Funds, within the meaning of the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, all Trustees are required to retire from the Board as of the last day of the calendar year in which the applicable Trustee attains age 75 (certain Trustees who had already attained age 75 when the Plan was adopted are required to retire effective December 31, 2003). Trustees may retire under the Plan before attaining the mandatory retirement age. Trustees who have served as Trustee of the Trust or any of the investment companies associated with Citigroup for at least ten years when they retire are eligible to receive the maximum retirement benefit under the Plan. The maximum retirement benefit is an amount equal to five times the amount of retainer and regular meeting fees payable to a Trustee during the calendar year ending on or immediately prior to the applicable Trustee's retirement. Amounts under the Plan may be paid in installments or in a lump sum (discounted to present value). Benefits under the Plan are unfunded. Two former Trustees are currently receiving payments under the Plan. Two additional Trustees have announced their intention to retire, effective December 31, 2003. The amount of benefits to be paid under the Plan cannot currently be determined for current Trustees. Messrs. Carlton, Cocanougher, Gross, Merten and Pettit also are covered by a prior retirement plan. Under the prior plan, retirement benefits are payable for a ten-year period following retirement, with the annual payment to be based upon the Trustee's compensation from the Trust during calendar year 2000. Trustees with more than five but less than ten years of service at retirement will receive a prorated benefit. In order to receive benefits under the current Plan, a Trustee must waive all rights under the prior plan prior to receiving payment under either plan. Total aggregate retirement benefits accrued under the prior plan for the year ended October 31, 2003 were $6,577. The amount of benefits to be paid under the prior plan cannot currently be determined for these Trustees. 35 Smith Barney Investment Series | 2003 Annual Report Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 3. Investments During the year ended October 31, 2003, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (including maturities of long-term investments, but excluding short-term investments and mortgage dollar rolls) were as follows: Purchases Sales - ------------------------------------------------------------ Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth Portfolio $ 19,158,426 $19,467,130 - ----------------------------------------------------------- Smith Barney Large Cap Core Portfolio 51,175,121 48,898,733 - ----------------------------------------------------------- Smith Barney Growth and Income Portfolio 36,042,677 27,209,713 - ----------------------------------------------------------- SB Government Portfolio 149,802,302 94,984,053 - ----------------------------------------------------------- At October 31, 2003, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments for Federal income tax purposes were as follows: Net Unrealized Appreciation Depreciation Appreciation - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth Portfolio $6,558,783 $(2,527,599) $4,031,184 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Smith Barney Large Cap Core Portfolio 8,542,145 (4,121,910) 4,420,235 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Smith Barney Growth and Income Portfolio 7,221,898 (2,412,284) 4,809,614 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SB Government Portfolio 1,278,340 (836,341) 441,999 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Repurchase Agreements The Funds purchase (and the custodian takes possession of ) U.S. government securities from securities dealers subject to agreements to resell the securities to the sellers at a future date (generally, the next business day), at an agreed-upon higher repurchase price. The Funds require continual maintenance of the market value (plus accrued interest) of the collateral in amounts at least equal to the repurchase price. 5. Futures Contracts The Funds may from time to time enter into futures contracts. Securities or cash equal to the initial margin amount are either deposited with the broker or segregated by the custodian upon entering into the futures contract. During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contract at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are made or received and recognized as assets due from or liabilities due to broker, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (and cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund's basis in the contract. The Fund enters into such contracts typically to hedge a portion of its portfolio. The Fund bears the market risk that arises from changes in the value of the financial instruments and securities indices. At October 31, 2003, the SB Government Portfolio had the following open futures contracts: Number of Market Unrealized Contracts Expiration Basis Value Value Gain (Loss) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Sell: U.S. Treasury Notes 161 12/03 $18,035,441 $18,069,141 $(33,700) To Buy: U.S. Treasury Bonds 100 12/03 10,641,225 10,871,875 230,650 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Unrealized Gain on Open Futures Contracts $196,950 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 36 Smith Barney Investment Series | 2003 Annual Report Notes to Financial Statements (continued) At October 31, 2003, the Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth, Smith Barney Large Cap Core and Smith Barney Growth and Income Portfolios did not hold any futures contracts. 6. 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. Fees earned by the Funds on securities lending are recorded as interest income. Loans of securities by the Funds are collateralized by cash, U.S. government securities, high quality money market instruments or other securities 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 may vary depending on the type of securities loaned. The Funds maintain exposure for the risk of any loss in the investment of amounts received as collateral. At October 31, 2003, Smith Barney Growth and Income Portfolio had loaned common stocks having a market value of $1,016,750 which were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received for the Smith Barney Growth and Income Portfolio amounting to $1,047,983 was invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Trust Prime Portfolio. For the year ended October 31, 2003, the Smith Barney Growth and Income Portfolio earned $6,142 in interest income from securities loaned. At October 31, 2003, the Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth, Smith Barney Large Cap Core and SB Government Portfolios did not have any securities on loan. 7. 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 for which specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the face amount and maturity date in GNMA transactions. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Funds normally 15 to 45 days later. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and their current value is determined in the same manner as for other securities. At October 31, 2003, the SB Government Portfolio held TBA securities with a total cost of $80,533,906. 8. Mortgage Dollar Rolls The SB Government Portfolio may enter into mortgage dollar roll transactions. A mortgage dollar roll transaction involves a sale by the Fund mortgage related securities that it holds with an agreement by the Fund to repurchase similar securities at an agreed upon price and date. The securities repurchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories than those securities sold. Proceeds from the sale will be reinvested and the income from these investments, together with any additional income received on the sale, is included in investment income. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund's right to repurchase the securities may be limited. During the year ended October 31, 2003, the SB Government Portfolio entered into mortgage dollar roll transactions in the aggregate amount of $399,022,774. At October 31, 2003, the SB Government Portfolio had outstanding mortgage dollar rolls with a total cost of $80,533,906. 37 Smith Barney Investment Series | 2003 Annual Report Notes to Financial Statements (continued) 9. Capital Loss Carryforwards At October 31, 2003, the Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth, Smith Barney Large Cap Core, Smith Barney Growth and Income and SB Government Portfolios had, for Federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards of approximately $11,267,000, $29,339,000, $10,169,000 and $2,428,000, respectively, available to offset future capital gains. To the extent that these carryforward losses are used to offset capital gains, it is probable that the gains so offset will not be distributed. The amount and year of the expiration for each carryforward loss is indicated below.

CAM is reviewing its entry, through an affiliate, into the transfer agent business in the period 1997-1999. As CAM currently understands the facts, at the time CAM decided to enter the transfer agent business, CAM sub-contracted for a period of five years certain of the transfer agency services to a third party and also concluded a revenue guarantee agreement with this sub-contractor providing that the sub-contractor would guarantee certain benefits to CAM or its affiliates (the "Revenue Guarantee Agreement"). In connection with the subsequent purchase of the sub-contractor's business by an affiliate of the current sub-transfer agent (PFPC Inc.) used by CAM on many of the funds it manages, this Revenue Guarantee Agreement was amended, eliminating those benefits in exchange for arrangements that included a one-time payment from the sub-contractor. The Boards of CAM-managed funds (the "Boards") were not informed of the Revenue Guarantee Agreement with the sub-contractor at the time the Boards considered and approved the transfer agent arrangements. Nor were the Boards informed of the subsequent amendment to the Revenue Guarantee Agreement when that occurred. CAM has begun to take corrective actions. CAM will pay to the applicable funds $16 million (plus interest) that CAM and its affiliates received from the Revenue Guarantee Agreement and its amendment. CAM also plans an independent review to verify that the transfer agency fees charged by CAM were fairly priced as compared to competitive alternatives. CAM is instituting new procedures and making changes designed to ensure no similar arrangements are entered into in the future. CAM has briefed the SEC, the New York State Attorney General and other regulators with respect to this matter, as well as the U.S. Attorney who is investigating the matter. CAM is cooperating with governmental authorities on this matter, the ultimate outcome of which is not yet determinable. 39 Smith Barney Investment Series | 2003 Annual Report Financial Highlights For a share of each class of beneficial interest outstanding throughout the year ended October 31, unless otherwise noted: Smith Barney Premier Selections All Cap Growth Portfolio 2003 2002 2001 2000/(1)/ 1999/(2)/ - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net Asset Value, Beginning of Year $ 8.96 $ 10.73 $ 14.48 $ 10.11 $ 10.00 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Income (Loss) From Operations: Net investment income (loss)/(3)/ (0.01) (0.03) 0.02 0.09 0.01 Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) 2.50 (1.73) (3.69) 4.30 0.10 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total Income (Loss) From Operations 2.49 (1.76) (3.67) 4.39 0.11 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Less Distributions From: Net investment income -- (0.01) (0.04) (0.02) -- Net realized gains -- -- (0.04) -- -- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total Distributions -- (0.01) (0.08) (0.02) -- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net Asset Value, End of Year $ 11.45 $ 8.96 $ 10.73 $ 14.48 $ 10.11 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total Return/(4)/ 27.79% (16.44)% (25.45)% 43.43% 1.10%++ - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net Assets, End of Year (000s) $34,884 $28,628 $34,384 $21,419 $3,032 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ratios to Average Net Assets: Expenses/(3)(5)/ 0.90% 0.95% 0.95% 0.95% 0.95%+ Net investment income (loss) (0.08) (0.25) 0.16 0.72 1.00+ - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Portfolio Turnover Rate 66% 58% 116% 58% 8% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (1) Per share amounts have been calculated using the monthly average shares method.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian or brokers. As to securities purchased and sold but not yet received and delivered, we performed other appropriate auditing procedures. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolios of the Funds as of October 31, 2003, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended and for the period from September 15, 1999 to October 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ KPMG LLP New York, New York December 10, 2003 44 Smith Barney Investment Series | 2003 Annual Report Additional Information (unaudited) Information about Trustees and Officers The business and affairs of the Smith Barney Investment Series ("Trust") are managed under the direction of the Trust's Board of Trustees.
