Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to present you with the annual report for the Mitchell Hutchins
Portfolios, covering the Portfolios' fiscal year ended May 31, 1999.

MARKET OVERVIEW
================================================================================

[GRAPHIC OMITTED] Russia's currency crisis in August 1998 brought the stock
market down sharply as investors around the world fled stocks and sought the
safety of U.S. Treasury securities. Only a narrow slice of the stock market
retained favor with investors--the largest of the large-capitalization
companies, which were perceived as strong enough financially to weather the
crisis. Almost all other stocks suffered declines: mid caps, small caps and
value stocks all trailed the large-cap growth stocks. Prices began to recover in
the second half of the fiscal year, but endured considerable volatility along
the way. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999, the S&P 500 Index gained
21.03%.

The dominance of growth stocks that characterized 1998 reversed dramatically
beginning in April 1999. Value stock prices climbed steeply and growth stocks
fell sharply between mid-April and mid-May. Much of the resurgence in value
stocks, however, occurred among basic-industry, commodity-driven companies such
as aluminum, steel and copper producers. Earnings increases at such companies
depend on sustained inflation, which we do not foresee except for oil prices.
Nonetheless, investors seem interested in venturing beyond the "nifty 20" stocks
that have driven the market for the past 18 months. We look for the recovery of
value stocks to broaden into sectors with more sustainable earnings as the
second half of the year unfolds.

OUTLOOK

Our 1999 expectations call for economic growth (real gross domestic product) of
about 3.5%, inflation in the 2.0-2.5% range and corporate earnings growth of
7-9%. Our outlook is more cautious over the near term, however. We are concerned
that long bond yields above 6% may lead to a correction. We expect stocks to
remain in a "trading range"--a fairly narrow band of ups and downs--as market
growth adjusts to better corporate earnings.

*     Weightings represent percentages of portfolio assets as of May 31, 1999.
      The Portfolios and the underlying mutual funds are actively managed and
      their composition will vary over time. For allocation purposes, the
      PaineWebber Cashfund is included in the bond component.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS
================================================================================

[GRAPHIC OMITTED] As the second half of the fiscal year got under way, all three
Portfolios were positioned with above-target exposures to stocks. The high stock
weightings were beneficial to the Portfolios during the year-end rally in the
stock market. We shifted all three Portfolios back on target in January 1999 and
kept them on target until the end of May. At the end of the fiscal year we
increased stock exposures slightly above target.

We also shifted fund sub-allocations within the stock and bond allocations
during the last six months. Among the most significant changes was an increased
exposure to global stock markets in the Moderate and Aggressive Portfolios as
those markets began to stabilize. As interest rates began to rise, we shortened
the average maturity of the bond allocations for all three Portfolios.
Additionally, we shifted the Portfolios' bond allocations toward global and U.S.
corporate bonds. At fiscal year-end we shifted the Portfolios' bond allocations
back toward Treasurys and slightly increased average maturity.

(1)   Figures assume reinvestment of all dividends, capital gains and other
      distributions at net asset value on the payable dates and do not include
      sales charges; results for each class would be lower if sales charges were
      included. Total return for periods of less than one year has not been
      annualized.

(2)   Certain distributions may contain short-term capital gains.

The data above represents past performance of the Mitchell Hutchins Portfolios
shares, which is no guarantee of future results. The principal value of an
investment in the Mitchell Hutchins Portfolios will fluctuate, so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original
cost.

+     Commencement of Operations.

(1)   Figures assume reinvestment of all dividends, capital gains and other
      distributions at net asset value on the payable dates and do not include
      sales charges; results for each class would be lower if sales charges were
      included. Total return for periods of less than one year has not been
      annualized.

(2)   Certain distributions may contain short-term capital gains.

Note: The Mitchell Hutchins Portfolios offers Class Y shares to a limited group
      of eligible investors, including participants in certain investment
      programs that are sponsored by PaineWebber and may invest in PaineWebber
      mutual funds. For the year ended May 31, 1999, Aggressive Portfolio,
      Moderate Portfolio and Conservative Portfolio Class Y shares had a total
      return of (1.33)%, 2.08% and 5.61%, respectively. Also, since inception,
      February 24, 1998 through May 31, 1999, Aggressive Portfolio, Moderate
      Portfolio and Conservative Portfolio Class Y shares had a total return of
      2.54%, 5.68% and 8.32%, respectively. Class Y shares do not have initial
      or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing distribution and service
      fees.

The data above represents past performance of the Mitchell Hutchins Portfolios
shares, which is no guarantee of future results. The principal value of an
investment in the Mitchell Hutchins Portfolios will fluctuate, so that an
investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original
cost.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Mitchell Hutchins Aggressive Portfolio ("Aggressive Portfolio"), Mitchell
Hutchins Moderate Portfolio ("Moderate Portfolio") and Mitchell Hutchins
Conservative Portfolio ("Conservative Portfolio") (collectively the
"Portfolios") are each a diversified series of Mitchell Hutchins Portfolios (the
"Trust"), an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware
business trust on August 20, 1997. Prior to commencement of operations on
February 24, 1998, the Portfolios had no activity other than the sale of shares
on December 29, 1997 to Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell
Hutchins"), the investment adviser and a wholly owned asset management
subsidiary of PaineWebber Incorporated ("PaineWebber"), as follows:

</TABLE>

The Portfolios invest solely in shares of other funds within the PaineWebber
Group of Funds (the "Underlying Funds").

      Costs incurred by the Portfolios in connection with their organization
have been deferred and are being amortized using the straight-line method over a
period not to exceed sixty months from the commencement of operations. If any
initial shares are redeemed by Mitchell Hutchins during the amortization period,
the redemption proceeds shall be reduced by the pro rata portion of unamortized
organizational expenses which the number of shares redeemed bears to the number
of initial shares then outstanding.

      Currently, each Portfolio offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y
shares. Each class represents interests in the assets of the applicable
Portfolio. The classes are identical except for differences in the sales charge
structures, ongoing service and distribution charges and certain transfer agency
and related expenses. In addition, Class B shares and all corresponding dividend
reinvested shares automatically convert to Class A shares approximately six
years after issuance. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except
that Class A, Class B and Class C shares have exclusive voting rights with
respect to their service and/or distribution plan. There is no distribution plan
with respect to the Portfolios' Class Y shares.

      The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the Portfolios' management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

      Valuation of Investments--The net asset value of a Portfolio's shares
fluctuates and is determined separately for each class as of the close of
regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern
time) each business day. Each Portfolio's net asset value per share is
determined by dividing the value of the Underlying Funds held plus any cash or
other assets, minus all liabilities, by the total number of Portfolio shares
outstanding. The value of each Underlying Fund will be its net asset value at
the time of computation.

      Investment Transactions and Investment Income--Investment transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment
transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Dividend income
and long term capital gain distributions from Underlying Funds are recorded on
the ex-dividend date. Short-term capital gains distributions


                                                                              17
<PAGE>

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

from Underlying Funds are recorded as dividend income. Long term capital gains
distributions from Underlying Funds are recorded as realized gains.

      Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and
realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of
shares based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares (or the
value of dividend-eligible shares, as appropriate) of each class at the
beginning of the day (after adjusting for current capital share activity of the
respective classes). Class specific expenses are charged directly to the
applicable class of shares.

      Dividends and Distributions--Dividends and distributions to shareholders
are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and
distributions from realized capital gains are determined in accordance with
federal income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These "book/tax" differences are either considered
temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent
in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on
the tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

INVESTMENT RISK

      All the Portfolios hold shares of Underlying Funds that invest in equity
securities, although the specific Underlying Funds and the percentage of a
Portfolio's assets invested in each Underlying Fund varies. Equity securities
historically have shown greater growth potential than other types of securities,
but they have also shown greater volatility.

      All Portfolios hold shares of Underlying Funds that invest in bonds,
although the specific Underlying Funds and the percentage of a Portfolio's
assets invested in each Underlying Fund varies. Bonds are subject to interest
rate and credit risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that the interest rates
will rise and as a result bond prices will fall, lowering the value of the
Underlying Fund's investments. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer or
guarantor may be unable or unwilling to pay interest or repay principal on the
bond. Some Underlying Funds may invest in bonds rated below investment grade,
which are subject to greater risks of default or price fluctuation than
investment grade bonds and are considered predominantly speculative.

      Some Underlying Funds are subject to the special risks of investing in
foreign equity securities or foreign bonds, which include possible adverse
political, social and economic developments abroad and differing characteristics
of foreign economics and markets. These risks are greater with respect to
securities of issuers located in emerging markets.

      Each Underlying Fund (other than PaineWebber Cashfund, Inc.) may use
derivatives, such as options, futures contracts, foreign currency contracts,
swaps and similar instruments, in its investment activities. Each type of
derivative instrument presents its own special risks.

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR

      The Trust's board of trustees has approved an Investment Advisory and
Administration Contract ("Advisory Contract") with Mitchell Hutchins, under
which Mitchell Hutchins serves as investment adviser and administrator of the
Portfolios. In accordance with the Advisory Contract, each Portfolio pays
Mitchell Hutchins an investment advisory and administration fee, which is
computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.35% of each
Portfolio's average daily net assets. For the year ended May 31, 1999, Mitchell
Hutchins waived their entire fee. In addition, Mitchell Hutchins reimbursed
other expenses of $223,181, $216,401 and $216,652, to the Aggressive Portfolio,
Moderate Portfolio and Conservative Portfolio, respectively, for the year ended
May 31, 1999. At May 31, 1999, Mitchell Hutchins owed $7,418, $6,457 and
$14,159, to the Aggressive Portfolio, Moderate Portfolio and Conservative
Portfolio, respectively, for the other expenses reimbursed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SERVICING AGREEMENT

      The Trust's board of trustees has approved a Servicing Agreement
("Servicing Agreement") with Mitchell Hutchins, under which the officers of the
Underlying Funds would determine monthly whether the expenses of a Portfolio
with respect to its investment in an Underlying Fund are greater than the
estimated savings to the Underlying Fund from the operation of the Portfolio. If
the aggregate financial benefits to the Underlying Fund equal or exceed the
administrative expenses of a Portfolio, there would be a reimbursement to the
Portfolio under the Servicing Agreement. The expenses of the Portfolios would be
passed through to the Underlying Funds in proportion to the average daily value
of each Underlying Fund's shares held by each Portfolio, provided further that
no Underlying Fund would bear such expenses in excess of the estimated savings
to it. For the year ended May 31, 1999, the Underlying Funds owed $12,252,
$16,753 and $883, to the Aggressive Portfolio, Moderate Portfolio and
Conservative Portfolio, respectively, for the reimbursement of other expenses.

DISTRIBUTION PLANS

      Mitchell Hutchins is the distributor of each Portfolio's shares and has
appointed PaineWebber as the exclusive dealer for the sale of those shares.
Under separate plans of service and/or distribution pertaining to Class A, Class
B, and Class C shares, each Portfolio pays Mitchell Hutchins monthly service
fees at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A,
Class B, and Class C shares. The Aggressive Portfolio and Moderate Portfolio
each pay Mitchell Hutchins monthly distribution fees at the annual rate of 0.75%
of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares while the
Conservative Portfolio pays monthly distribution fees at the annual rate of
0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares,
respectively. There is no distribution plan with respect to the Portfolios'
Class Y shares.

      Mitchell Hutchins also receives the proceeds of the initial sales charges
paid by the shareholders upon the purchase of Class A shares and the contingent
deferred sales charges paid by the shareholders upon certain redemptions of
Class A, Class B, and Class C shares. Mitchell Hutchins has informed each
Portfolio that for the year ended May 31, 1999, it earned $52,015, $55,944 and
$19,995 in sales charges for the Aggressive Portfolio, Moderate Portfolio and
Conservative Portfolio, respectively.

TRANSFER AGENCY AND RELATED SERVICES FEES

      PaineWebber provides transfer agency related services to each Portfolio
pursuant to a delegation of authority from PFPC, Inc., the Portfolios' transfer
agent, and is compensated for these services by PFPC, Inc. For the year ended
May 31, 1999, PaineWebber received from PFPC, Inc., approximately 39%, 32% and
14% of the total transfer agency and related services fees collected by PFPC,
Inc. from the Aggressive Portfolio, Moderate Portfolio and Conservative
Portfolio, respectively.

INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES

      At May 31, 1999, the cost of securities owned for federal income tax
purposes for the Aggressive Portfolio, Moderate Portfolio and Conservative
Portfolio was $6,377,417, $14,500,368 and $4,592,593, respectively.

      At May 31, 1999, the components of net unrealized depreciation for federal
income tax purposes were as follows:

FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

      Each Portfolio intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable
income and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code to
qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company. Accordingly, no
provision for federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing
during each calendar year, substantially all of its net investment income and
capital gains, if any, each Portfolio intends not to be subject to a federal
excise tax.

      For the year ended May 31, 1999, the reclassifications arising from
permanent "book/tax" differences resulting in increases (decreases) to the

(1)   Total investment return is calculated assuming a $1,000 investment on the
      first day of each period reported, reinvestment of all dividends and
      distributions, if any, at net asset value on the payable dates and a sale
      at net asset value on the last day of each period reported. The figures do
      not include sales charges or program fees; results would be lower if sales
      charges or program fees were included. Total investment return for periods
      of less than one year have not been annualized.

MITCHELL HUTCHINS PORTFOLIOS

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Mitchell Hutchins Portfolios

      We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolios of investments, of the Mitchell Hutchins Portfolios
(comprising, respectively, the Mitchell Hutchins Aggressive Portfolio, Mitchell
Hutchins Moderate Portfolio and Mitchell Hutchins Conservative Portfolio)
(collectively the "Portfolios") as of May 31, 1999, and the related statement of
operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets
and financial highlights for the year ended May 31, 1999 and the period from
February 24, 1998 to May 31, 1998. These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolios' 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 May 31, 1999, by correspondence with the custodian and
others. 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
each of the respective portfolios constituting the Mitchell Hutchins Portfolios
as of May 31, 1999, and the results of their operations for the year then ended,
and the changes in net assets and financial highlights for the year ended May
31, 1999 and the period from February 24, 1998 to May 31, 1998 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

- ----------
*     Taxable as ordinary income.

      Dividends received by tax-exempt recipients (e.g., IRAs and Keoghs) need
not be reported as taxable income. Some retirement trusts (e.g., corporate,
Keogh and 403(b)(7) plans) may need this information for their annual
information reporting.

      Since each Portfolio's fiscal year is not the calendar year, another
notification will be sent with respect to calendar year 1999. Such
notifications, which will reflect the amount to be used by calendar year
taxpayers on their federal income tax returns, will be made in conjunction with
Form 1099 DIV and will be mailed in January 2000. Shareholders are advised to
consult their own tax advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their
investment in each of the Portfolios.
