October 14, 2005

Dear Fellow SBF Stockholder:

The October 21, 2005 Special  Meeting is just a few days away. As you know,  SBF
stockholders  are being asked to approve a new  management  agreement  (the "New
Management  Agreement")  in  connection  with the pending  $3.7  billion sale of
Citigroup's  asset  management  business  to Legg  Mason.  For  reasons  we have
explained  in detail in our  proxy  materials,  we  believe  the New  Management
Agreement  should not be  approved  unless and until SBF first takes care of its
stockholders  by  eliminating  or nearly  eliminating  the discount to net asset
value. Help us achieve that goal by voting AGAINST the New Management  Agreement
on the enclosed BLUE proxy card today.

Because the Special Meeting is fast approaching,  and your vote is important, we
have enclosed a pre-paid  overnight  return envelope to ensure that your vote is
received in time. You can also return your BLUE proxy card by fax. Please follow
the  directions  on the reverse side of this letter to arrange for a free pickup
by the overnight mail service or return your BLUE proxy card by fax.

Even if you have already returned  management's White proxy card, you have every
right to change your mind by signing,  dating and  returning  the enclosed  BLUE
proxy card with a vote AGAINST the New Management Agreement.

                             YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT

     PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED BLUE PROXY CARD TODAY BY FAX
                OR IN THE PRE-PAID OVERNIGHT ENVELOPE PROVIDED.

Sincerely yours,

/s/ Mark Levine
