LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

LOGO

 

R. JAY GERKEN, CFA

Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

 

Dear Shareholder,

Despite rising interest rates, climbing oil prices, geopolitical concerns and uncertainties surrounding the U.S. Presidential election, the U.S. economy continued to expand during the period. Following a robust 4.0% gain in the third quarter of 2004, gross domestic product (“GDP”)i growth was 3.8% in the fourth quarter. The advance estimate for first quarter 2005 GDP growth was 3.1%. This decline was largely attributed to high oil prices.

 

Given the overall strength of the economy, the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”)ii continued to raise interest rates over the period in an attempt to ward off inflation. Following three 25 basis pointiii rate hikes from June through September 2004, the Fed again increased its target for the federal funds rateiv in 0.25% increments four times during the reporting period. Following the end of the Fund’s reporting period, at its May meeting, the Fed once again increased it’s target for the federal funds rate by 0.25% to 3.00%.

 

During the six months covered by this report, the U.S. stock market posted a modest gain, with the S&P 500 Indexv returning 3.28%. The reporting period began on a bright note, as the equity markets rallied sharply in November and December 2004. Investors were drawn to stocks as the uncertainty of the U.S. Presidential election ended and oil prices fell from their record highs. Thus far in 2005, the equity markets have been volatile. Equities were weak in January, rose in February and again fell in March and April. The market’s recent troubles have been attributed to mixed economic data, continued high oil prices, and rising interest rates.

 

Looking at the reporting period as a whole, the trend of value-oriented stocks outperforming their growth counterparts continued. In addition, mid- and large-cap stocks generally outperformed small-cap stocks during the period.

Strategic Equity 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 Strategic Equity 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.

For the six months ended April 30, 2005, the Strategic Equity Portfolio returned -1.90%. The Fund underperformed the Lipper Variable Multi-Cap Core Funds Category Average,2 which was 3.05%. The Fund’s unmanaged benchmark, the S&P 500 Index,v returned 3.28% for the same period.

Information About Your Fund

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’ Advisers and some of their 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

Fund Expenses (unaudited)

 

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”.

(2)   Assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains 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 fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. In the absence of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would have been lower.
(3)   Expenses are equal to each Funds’ 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.

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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Smith Barney Large Cap Value Portfolio (“SBLCV”), Strategic Equity Portfolio (“SEP”) and Van Kampen Enterprise Portfolio (“VKEP”) (“Fund(s)”) are separate diversified investment funds of the Travelers Series Fund Inc. (“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. 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. 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 relationships between securities. 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 Funds’ 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

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) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risk on its non-U.S. 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.

 

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.

 

(d) 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 their 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 Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.

 

The 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.

(e) 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.

 

(f) Security Transactions and Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is recorded on the accrual basis. 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. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method.

(g) Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions from net investment income and distributions of net realized gains, if any, are declared at least annually. Distributions 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.

 

(h) 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.

 

(i) Reclassifications. 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 the investment manager of SBLCV. SBLCV pays SBFM a management fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.60% of SBLCV’s average daily net assets up to $500 million; 0.55% of the average daily net assets in excess of $500 million up to and including $1 billion; and 0.50% of the average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion.

These fees are calculated daily and paid monthly.

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2005, the Funds each had a voluntary expense limitation in place of 1.25%. These expense limitations can be terminated at any time by TIA.

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 six months ended April 30, 2005, each Fund paid transfer agent fees of $2,083 to CTB.

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2005, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., another indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, and its affiliates received brokerage commissions of $8,599 and $108 from SBLCV and SEP, respectively.

 

Most of the officers and one Director of the Company are employees of Citigroup or its affiliates and do not receive compensation from the Company.

7. Additional Information

 

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 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

 

45       Travelers Series Fund Inc.      |      2005 Semi-Annual Report


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

 

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 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.

 

8. Legal Matters

 

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

 

46       Travelers Series Fund Inc.      |      2005 Semi-Annual Report


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

 

“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 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.

9. Subsequent Event

 

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 Van Kampen Enterprise Portfolio and Strategic Equity 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 Van Kampen Enterprise Portfolio and the Strategic Equity Portfolio (the “Acquired Funds”) of Travelers Series Fund Inc., into newly organized “shell” portfolios (the “Acquiring Funds”) of The Travelers Series Trust. In connection with the reorganization, the Acquiring Funds would acquire all of the assets and assume the liabilities of the Acquired Funds.

 

The proposed reorganization is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, including approval by the Acquired Funds shareholders. Proxy materials describing the proposed reorganization were mailed on or about June 9, 2005, to the Acquired Funds 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 Funds 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 adviser to SBLCV.

 

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.

 

48       Travelers Series Fund Inc.      |      2005 Semi-Annual Report


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

 

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, consummation of the transaction will result in the automatic termination of the investment management contract between SBLCV and the Manager. Therefore, the SBLCV’s Board of Directors will be asked to approve a new investment management contract between SBLCV and the Manager. If approved by the Board, the new investment management contract will be presented to the shareholders of SBLCV for their approval.
