PROXY STATEMENT

-------------------------

FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2003

INTRODUCTION

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the
Board of Directors (the "Board") of Managed Municipals Portfolio Inc. (the
"Portfolio") of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the
"Meeting") of the Portfolio, to be held at Citigroup Center, 153 East 53rd
Street, 14th Floor, New York, New York, on September 18, 2003 at 4:00 P.M. (New
York time), and at any adjournments thereof, for the purposes set forth in the
accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Notice").

The cost of soliciting proxies and the expenses incurred in preparing this
proxy statement will be borne by the Portfolio. Proxy solicitations will be
made mainly by mail. In addition, certain officers, Directors and employees of
the Portfolio; Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("CGM", formerly known as Salomon
Smith Barney, Inc.); Smith Barney Fund Management LLC ("SBFM" or the
"Manager"), the Portfolio's investment manager, which is an affiliate of CGM;
and/or PFPC Global Fund Services ("PFPC"), the Portfolio's transfer agent, may
solicit proxies in person or by telephone or mail. CGM is located at 388
Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10013; SBFM is located at 300 First Stamford
Place, Stamford, Connecticut 06902; PFPC is located at 101 Federal Street,
Boston, Massachusetts 02110. In addition, the Portfolio will reimburse
brokerage firms or other record holders for their expenses in forwarding
solicitation materials to beneficial owners of shares of the Portfolio.

The Annual Report of the Portfolio, including audited financial statements
for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003, has previously been furnished to all
shareholders of the Portfolio. This proxy statement and form of proxy are first
being mailed to shareholders on or about August 18, 2003. The Portfolio will
provide additional copies of the Annual Report to any shareholder upon request
by calling the Portfolio at 1-800-451-2010.

All properly executed proxies received prior to the Meeting will be voted at
the Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or otherwise as
provided therein. Unless instructions to the contrary are marked, shares
represented by the proxies will be voted "FOR" the proposal listed in the
Notice. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting
business at the Meeting, abstentions and broker "non-votes" (i.e. 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 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. Because the proposal requires a proportion of the votes cast
for its approval, abstentions and broker "non-votes" may influence whether a
quorum is present but will have no impact on the requisite approval of the
proposal. A quorum consists of the presence (in person or by proxy) of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio entitled to
notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. Proposal 1 requires for approval the
affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the Meeting with a quorum
present. Any proxy may be revoked at any time prior to the exercise by
submitting another proxy bearing a later date or by giving written notice to
the Secretary of the Portfolio at the Portfolio's address indicated above or by
voting in person at the Meeting.

The Board knows of no business other than that specifically mentioned in the
Notice that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting. If any other
matters are properly presented, it is the intention of the persons named in the
enclosed proxy to vote in accordance with their best judgment to the extent
permissible under applicable law.

The Board of Directors of the Portfolio has fixed the close of business on
August 1, 2003 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
or any adjournment thereof. The Portfolio has two classes of shares: Common
Stock, par value $.001 per share, and municipal auction rate cumulative
preferred stock ("Preferred Shares"), which have a liquidation preference in
the amount of $25,000 per share (collectively with the Common Stock, the
"Shares"). Shareholders of the Portfolio as of the Record Date will be entitled
to one vote on each matter for each Share held and a fractional vote with
respect to fractional Shares, with no cumulative voting rights. As of the
Record Date, the Portfolio had outstanding 41,855,575.546 shares of Common
Stock, of which 41,081,802.884 shares (98.1%) were held of record but not
beneficially owned by CEDE & CO., P.O. Box 20, Bowling Green Station, New York,
NY 10004; and 10,000 Preferred Shares outstanding, of which 10,000 (100%) were
held but not beneficially owned by CEDE & Co. As of the Record Date, no other
person (including any "group" as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934), to the knowledge of the Board, owned
beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding Shares of either class. As of the
Record Date, the officers and Board members of the Portfolio as a group
beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding Shares of either class.

In the event that a quorum is not present, or if sufficient votes in favor
of the proposal set forth in the Notice and this Proxy Statement are not
received by the time scheduled for the Meeting, the persons named as proxies
may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further
solicitation of proxies with respect to the proposal. 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 such adjournment will require the
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the Meeting. The
persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment those shares
which they are entitled to vote and which have voted in favor of the proposal.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors of the Portfolio is classified into three classes.
The Directors serving in Class I have terms expiring at the Meeting; the Class
I Directors currently serving on the Board have been nominated by the Board of
Directors for election at the Meeting to serve for a term of three years (until
the year 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders) or until their successors have
been duly elected and qualified. The Class II Directors and the Class III
Directors are currently serving terms which will expire at the 2004 and 2005
Annual Meeting of Shareholders, respectively.

The Board of Directors of the Portfolio knows of no reason why any of the
Class I nominees listed below will be unable to serve, and each nominee has
consented to serve if elected, but in the event of any such unavailability, the
proxies received will be voted for such substitute nominees as the Board of
Directors may recommend.

Under the terms of the Fund's Charter, the holders of Preferred Shares are
entitled as a class, to the exclusion of the holders of Common Shares, to elect
two Directors of the Fund. Paolo Cucchi and Robert Frankel had been selected by
the Fund's Board for election (when so nominated) by holders of Preferred
Shares. Mr. Cucchi has been nominated for election at this Meeting. The Fund's
Charter provides that the remaining nominees shall be elected by holders of
Common and Preferred Shares voting together as a single class.

Unless authority is withheld, it is the intention of the persons named in
the Proxy to vote the Proxy "FOR" the election of the nominees named above.
Each nominee has indicated that he will serve if elected, but if any nominee
should be unable to serve, the Proxy will be voted for any other person
determined by the persons named in the Proxy in accordance with their judgment.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the nominees
for election to the Board of the Portfolio:

(1)This information has been furnished by each Director as of December 31,
2002. "Beneficial Ownership" is determined in accordance with Rule
16a-1(a)(2) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
(2)The Portfolio's Directors and officers, in the aggregate, own less than 1%
of the Portfolio's outstanding equity securities as of the Record Date.
(3)"Family of Investment Companies" means those registered investment companies
that share an investment adviser and that hold themselves out to investors
as related companies for purposes of investment and investor services.

Under the federal securities laws, the Portfolio is required to provide to
shareholders, for each nominee for election as Director of the Fund who is not
an "interested person" as defined in the 1940 Act, each "non-interested"
Director and his or her immediate family members, information as to each class
of securities

owned beneficially or of record in SBFM or person or entity (other than a fund)
directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with
SBFM. SBFM is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. As of
December 31, 2002, as reported to the Portfolio, none of the nominees for
election as Director who are not "interested persons" of the Portfolio, none of
the "non-interested" Directors and none of their immediate family members owned
beneficially or of record securities issued by Citigroup Inc.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003, each Director who was not a
director, officer, partner, co-partner or employee of CGM, or any affiliate
thereof, received $5,000 per annum plus $500 per in-person Board meeting and
$100 per telephonic Board meeting attended. Officers of the Portfolio are
compensated by CGM. Aggregate fees and expenses (including reimbursement for
travel and out-of-pocket expenses) of $13,860 were paid to such Directors by
the Portfolio during the year ended December 31, 2002.

Under the federal securities laws, the Portfolio is required to provide to
shareholders in connection with the Meeting information regarding compensation
paid to the Directors by the Portfolio, as well as by the various other
investment companies advised by SBFM. The following table provides information
concerning the compensation paid to each Director during the fiscal year ended
May 31, 2003. All officers of the Portfolio are employees of and are
compensated by CGM. None of the Portfolio's executive officers or Directors who
are also officers or directors of CGM received any compensation from the
Portfolio for such period. The Portfolio does not provide any pension or
retirement benefits to Directors, although it does offer Directors who have
served the Portfolio for at least 10 years and have reached at least the age of
70, but not more than 80, to be emeritus directors for a period of up to 10
years at fees of one-half the fees paid to a Director. During the Portfolio's
last fiscal year, compensation paid by the Portfolio to Directors Emeriti
totaled $6,250.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003, the Board convened 7 times. Each
Director attended at least seventy-five percent of the aggregate number of
meetings

of the Board and any committees on which he served during the period for which
he was a Director.

Messrs. Bloostein, Crane, Cucchi, Frankel, Hardin, Hutchison and Pavia
constitute the Portfolio's Audit Committee, which is composed of Directors who
are "non-interested" persons of the Portfolio and who are independent (as such
term is defined by the New York Stock Exchange's listing standards). The Audit
Committee convened two times during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003. The
Audit Committee is responsible for (i) considering, in conjunction with the
Portfolio's Board of Directors, management's recommendations of independent
auditors for the Portfolio and evaluating the independence of the outside
auditors; (ii) approving all audit and permitted non-audit services proposed to
be performed by the independent auditors on behalf of the Portfolio and certain
affiliates; (iii) reviewing the scope of the Portfolio's audit; and (iv)
reviewing financial statements contained in periodic reports to shareholders
with the Fund's independent accountants and management. The Directors
constituting the Portfolio's Audit Committee also constitute the Portfolio's
Nominating Committee, which is composed of "non-interested" Directors of the
Portfolio. The Nominating Committee did not meet during the fiscal year ended
May 31, 2003. The Nominating Committee selects and nominates new non-interested
directors. The Nominating Committee will accept nominations for the office of
Director made by shareholders in a written request addressed to the Secretary
of the Portfolio which includes biographical data and sets forth the
qualifications of the proposed nominee. The Portfolio has a Pricing Committee
composed of the Chairman and one "non-interested" Director. The Pricing
Committee is charged with determining fair value prices for securities when
required. The Pricing Committee met once during the fiscal year ended May 31,
2003. The Portfolio does not have a Compensation Committee.

Report of the Audit Committee

Pursuant to meetings of the Audit Committee held on May 22, 2003 and on July
18, 2003, the Audit Committee reports that it has (i) reviewed and discussed
the Portfolio's audited financial statements with management; (ii) discussed
with KPMG LLP ("KPMG"), the independent auditors to the Portfolio the matters
(such as the quality of the Portfolio's accounting principles and internal
controls) required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61,
Communications with Audit Committees, as currently modified or supplemented,
including, but not limited to, the scope of the Portfolio's audit, the
Portfolio's financial statements and the Portfolio's accounting controls, and
(iii) received written confirmation from KPMG that it is independent and
written disclosures regarding such independence as required by Independence
Standards Board Standard No. 1, and discussed with KPMG the auditor's
independence.

Pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter adopted by the Portfolio's Board,
the Audit Committee is responsible for conferring with the Portfolio's
independent auditors, reviewing annual financial statements and recommending
the selection of the Portfolio's independent auditors. The Audit Committee
advises the full Board with respect to accounting, auditing and financial
matters affecting the Portfolio. The independent auditors are responsible for
planning and carrying out the proper audits and reviews of the Portfolio's
financial statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The members of the Audit Committee are not professionally engaged in the
practice of auditing or accounting and are not employed by the Portfolio for
accounting, financial management or internal control. Moreover, the Audit
Committee relies on and makes no independent verification of the facts
presented to it or representations made by management or the independent public
accountants. Accordingly, the Audit Committee's oversight does not provide an
independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate
accounting and financial reporting principles and policies, or internal
controls and procedures, designed to assure compliance with accounting
standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit
Committee's considerations and discussions referred to above do not provide
assurance that the audit of the Portfolio's financial statements has been
carried out in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards or that
the financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Based on review and discussions referred to in items (i) through (iii)
above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board (and the Board has
approved) that the audited financial statements be included in the Portfolio's
annual report for the Portfolio's fiscal year ended May 31, 2003.

Independent Auditors

At a meeting held on February 5, 2003, the Audit Committee approved the
selection of KPMG for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2004. KPMG has informed
the Portfolio that it has no material direct or indirect financial interest in
the Portfolio.

No representative of KPMG will be available at the Meeting to answer
questions, although KPMG has been given an opportunity to make a statement.

Audit Fees. Fees for the annual audit of the Portfolio's financial
statements by KPMG for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003 were $36,000.

Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation Fees. There were no
fees billed for financial information systems design and implementation
services rendered by KPMG to the Portfolio, SBFM and entities controlling,
controlled by or under common control with SBFM that provide services to the
Portfolio for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003.

All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed for all other non-audit services,
including fees for tax related services, rendered by KPMG to the Portfolio,
SBFM and entities controlled by or affiliated with SBFM that provide services
to the Portfolio for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003 were $16.4 million. The
Audit Committee of the Portfolio has determined that provision of these
non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of KPMG.

Required Vote

Proposal 1 requires for approval the affirmative vote of a majority of votes
cast at the Meeting with a quorum present, in person or by proxy, by the
shareholders of the Portfolio voting on the matter. Because abstentions and
broker non-votes are not treated as shares voted, abstentions and broker
non-votes would have no impact on Proposal 1.

The Board of Directors, including the "non-interested" Directors, recommends
that the shareholders vote "FOR" the Portfolio's nominees for Director.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Beneficial Owners

As of the record date, to the knowledge of the Portfolio and the Board, no
single person or "group" (as that term is used in section 13(d) of the 1934
Act), beneficially owned more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the
Portfolio.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 30(h) of
the 1940 Act require the Portfolio's officers and directors, the Manager,
affiliates of the Manager, and persons who beneficially own more than ten
percent of a registered class of the Portfolio's outstanding securities to file
reports of ownership of the Portfolio's securities and changes in such
ownership with the SEC and The New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE"). Such
persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Portfolio with copies of
all such filings. Based solely upon its review of the copies of such filings
received by it and written representations by such persons, the Portfolio
believes that, for the fiscal year 2003, all filing requirements applicable to
such persons were complied with.

OTHER MATTERS

The Portfolio knows of no other matters which are to be brought before the
Meeting. However, if any other matters not now known or determined properly
come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the
enclosed form of Proxy to vote such Proxy in accordance with their judgment on
such matters.

All proxies received will be voted in favor of all proposals, unless
otherwise directed therein.

SUBMISSION OF SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

Shareholder proposals intended to be presented at the 2004 Annual Meeting of
the shareholders of the Portfolio must be received by April 17, 2004 to be
included in the proxy statement and the form of proxy relating to that meeting,
as the Portfolio expects that the 2004 Annual Meeting will be held in September
2004. The submission by a shareholder of a proposal for inclusion in the proxy
statement does not guarantee that it will be included. Shareholder proposals
are subject to certain regulations under the federal securities laws.

The persons named as proxies for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders for 2004
will have discretionary authority to vote on any matter presented by a
shareholder for action at that meeting unless the Portfolio receives notice of
the matter by June 27, 2004, in which case these persons will not have
discretionary voting authority except as provided in the Securities and
Exchange Commission's rules governing shareholder proposals.

It is important that proxies be returned promptly. Shareholders who do not
expect to attend the Meeting are therefore urged to complete and sign, date and
return the proxy card as soon as possible in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.
