The aggregate management fees payable by the Fund and the Portfolio to Citibank, N.A. are equal to the management fee that was payable by the Fund when the Fund invested directly in securities. The Fund's Trustees believe that the aggregate per share expenses of the Fund and the Portfolio will be less than or approximately equal to the expenses that the Fund would incur if it were to continue investing directly in securities. Rule 497(e) File Nos. 33-6540 and 811-5033 SUPPLEMENT DATED NOVEMBER 1, 1998 TO STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DATED MARCH 2, 1998 CITIFUNDS(SM) INTERMEDIATE INCOME PORTFOLIO The following sentences are added at the end of the first paragraph on the first page of the statement of additional information: The Fund is permitted to invest all or a portion of its assets in one or more other investment companies. Currently, the Fund invests its assets in U.S. Fixed Income Portfolio, a series of The Premium Portfolios. The address of The Premium Portfolios is Elizabethan Square, George Town, Grand Cayman, British West Indies. The second paragraph of the section entitled "The Trust" on page 2 of the statement of additional information is deleted and replaced with the following: The Fund is permitted to seek its investment objectives by investing all or a portion of its assets in one or more investment companies to the extent not prohibited by the Investment Company Act of 1940, the rules and regulations thereunder and exemptive orders granted under such Act. Currently, the Fund invests its assets in U.S. Fixed Income Portfolio (the "Portfolio"). The Portfolio is a series of The Premium Portfolios (the "Portfolio Trust"), and is an open-end, diversified management investment company. The Portfolio has the same investment objectives and policies as the Fund. Because the Fund invests through the Portfolio, all references in this Statement of Additional Information to the Fund include the Portfolio, except as otherwise noted. In addition, references to the Trust include the Portfolio Trust, except as otherwise noted. Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank" or the "Manager") is the Manager of the Portfolio. Citibank manages the investments of the Portfolio from day to day in accordance with the Portfolio's investment objectives and policies. The selection of investments for the Portfolio, and the way they are managed, depend on the conditions and trends in the economy and the financial marketplaces. The first sentence of the third paragraph of the section entitled "The Trust" on page 2 of the statement of additional information is replaced with the following: The Boards of Trustees of the Trust and the Portfolio Trust provide broad supervision over the affairs of the Fund and the Portfolio, respectively. The following paragraph is added at the end of the section entitled "Investment Objectives and Policies" on page 2 of the statement of additional information: The Trust may withdraw the investment of the Fund from the Portfolio at any time if the Board of Trustees of the Trust determines that it is in the best interests of the Fund to do so. Upon any such withdrawal, the Fund's assets would continue to be invested in accordance with the investment policies described herein with respect to the Fund. The policies described above and those described below are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval. The first paragraph of the section entitled "Investment Restrictions" on page 10 of the statement of additional information is replaced with the following: The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Portfolio Trust, on behalf of the Portfolio, have each adopted the following policies which may not be changed with respect to the Fund or Portfolio without approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund or Portfolio, which as used in this Statement of Additional Information means the vote of the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund or Portfolio present at a meeting at which the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund or Portfolio are present or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund or Portfolio. The term "voting securities" as used in this paragraph has the same meaning as in the 1940 Act. The Portfolio may not: (1) Borrow money, except that as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes it may borrow in an amount not to exceed 1/3 of the current value of its net assets, including the amount borrowed; or purchase any securities at any time at which borrowings exceed 5% of the total assets of the Portfolio, taken at market value. It is intended that the Portfolio would borrow money only from banks and only to accommodate requests for the repurchase of beneficial interests in the Portfolio while effecting an orderly liquidation of portfolio securities. (2) Make loans to other persons except (a) through the lending of its portfolio securities and provided that any such loans not exceed 30% of the Portfolio's total assets (taken at market value), (b) through the use of repurchase agreements or fixed time deposits or the purchase of short-term obligations or (c) by purchasing all or a portion of an issue of debt securities of types commonly distributed privately to financial institutions. The purchase of short-term commercial paper or a portion of an issue of debt securities which is part of an issue to the public shall not be considered the making of a loan. (3) Purchase securities of any issuer if such purchase at the time thereof would cause with respect to 75% of the total assets of the Portfolio more than 10% of the voting securities of such issuer to be held by the Portfolio; provided that, for purposes of this restriction, the issuer of an option or futures contract shall not be deemed to be the issuer of the security or securities underlying such contract; and provided further that the Portfolio may invest all or any portion of its assets in one or more investment companies to the extent not prohibited by the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations thereunder, and exemptive orders granted under such Act. (4) Purchase securities of any issuer if such purchase at the time thereof would cause as to 75% of the Portfolio's total assets more than 5% of the Portfolio's assets (taken at market value) to be invested in the securities of such issuer (other than securities or obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States, any state or political subdivision thereof, or any political subdivision of any such state, or any agency or instrumentality of the United States or of any state or of any political subdivision of any state); provided that, for purposes of this restriction, the issuer of an option or futures contract shall not be deemed to be the issuer of the security or securities underlying such contract; and provided further that the Portfolio may invest all or any portion of its assets in or more investment companies, to the extent not prohibited by the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations thereunder, and exemptive orders granted under such Act. (5) Concentrate its investments in any particular industry, but if it is deemed appropriate for the achievement of the Portfolio's investment objective, up to 25% of its assets, at market value at the time of each investment, may be invested in any one industry, except that positions in futures contracts shall not be subject to this restriction. (6) Underwrite securities issued by other persons, except that all or any portion of the assets of the Portfolio may be invested in one or more investment companies, to the extent not prohibited by the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations thereunder, and exemptive orders granted under such Act, and except insofar as the Portfolio may technically be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act in selling a security. (7) Purchase or sell real estate (including limited partnership interests but excluding securities secured by real estate or interests therein), interests in oil, gas or mineral leases, commodities or commodity contracts in the ordinary course of business (the foregoing shall not be deemed to preclude the Portfolio from purchasing or selling futures contracts or options thereon, and the Portfolio reserves the freedom of action to hold and to sell real estate acquired as a result of the ownership of securities by the Portfolio). (8) Issue any senior security (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) if such issuance is specifically prohibited by the 1940 Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

The Portfolio Trust is organized as a trust under the laws of the state of New York. Each investor in the Portfolio, including the Fund, may add to or withdraw from its investment in the Portfolio on each Business Day. As of the close of regular trading on each Business Day, the value of each investor's beneficial interest in the Portfolio is determined by multiplying the net asset value of the Portfolio by the percentage, effective for that day, that represents that investor's share of the aggregate beneficial interest in the Portfolio. Any additions or withdrawals that are to be effected on that day are then effected. The investor's percentage of the aggregate beneficial interests in the Portfolio is then recomputed as the percentage equal to the fraction (i) the numerator of which is the value of such investor's investment in the Portfolio as of the close of regular trading on such day plus or minus, as the case may be, the amount of any additions to or withdrawals from the investor's investment in the Portfolio effected on such day, and (ii) the denominator of which is the aggregate net asset value of the Portfolio as of the close of regular trading on such day plus or minus, as the case may be, the amount of the net additions to or withdrawals from the aggregate investments in the Portfolio by all investors in the Portfolio. The percentage so determined is then applied to determine the value of the investor's interest in the Portfolio as of the close of regular trading on the next following Business Day.
