liquidity and current income. The Fund provides a convenient means for investors

will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market rates, and in periods of
rising interest rates the Fund's yield generally will be somewhat lower. See
'Investment Objective and Policies.'

</TABLE>
 
                       EXAMPLE OF EFFECT OF FUND EXPENSES
 
     An investor would pay directly or indirectly the following expenses on a
$1,000 investment in the Fund, assuming a 5% annual return:
 
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

ONE YEAR   THREE YEARS   FIVE YEARS   TEN YEARS

- --------   -----------   ----------   ---------
<S>        <C>           <C>          <C>
   $6          $19          $33          $75
</TABLE>
 
     This Example assumes that all dividends are reinvested and that the
percentage amounts listed under Annual Fund Operating Expenses remain the same
in the years shown. The above tables and the assumption in the Example of a 5%
annual return are required by regulations of the SEC applicable to all mutual
funds; the assumed 5% annual return is not a prediction of, and does not
represent, the Fund's projected or actual performance.
 
     THE EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE
EXPENSES, AND THE FUND'S ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.
The actual expenses of the Fund will depend upon, among other things, the level
of average net assets and the extent to which the Fund incurs variable expenses,
such as transfer agency costs.

                       Investment Objective and Policies
 
                       The Fund's investment objective is to provide current
                       income, stability of principal and high liquidity. The
                       Fund invests exclusively in high quality money market
                       instruments having or deemed to have remaining maturities
                       of 13 months or less. These instruments include U.S.
                       government securities, obligations of U.S. banks,
                       commercial paper and other short-term corporate
                       obligations, variable and floating rate securities and
                       participation interests or repurchase agreements
                       involving any of the foregoing. The Fund maintains a
                       dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or
                       less.
 
The Fund invests       The Fund may invest in obligations (including
exclusively in high    certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and similar
quality money market   obligations) of U.S. banks having total assets in excess
instruments having     of $1.5 billion at the time of purchase. The Fund may
or deemed to have      invest in non-negotiable time deposits of U.S. banks,
remaining maturities   savings associations and similar depository institutions
of 13 months or        having total assets in excess of $1.5 billion at the time
less.                  of purchase only if the time deposits have maturities of
                       seven days or less. The Fund also may invest in
                       interest-bearing savings deposits in U.S. banks and
                       savings associations having total assets of $1.5 billion
                       or less provided that the principal amount of each
                       deposit is fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
                       Corporation and provided that the aggregate principal
                       amount of such deposits (plus interest earned) does not
                       exceed 5% of the Fund's assets.
 
                       The commercial paper and other short-term corporate
                       obligations purchased by the Fund consist only of
                       obligations that Mitchell Hutchins determines, pursuant
                       to procedures adopted by the Fund's board of directors,
                       present minimal credit risks and are either (1) rated in
                       the highest short-term rating category by at least two
                       nationally recognized statistical rating organizations
                       ('NRSROs'), (2) rated in the highest short-term rating
                       category by a single NRSRO if only that NRSRO has
                       assigned the obligations a short-term rating or (3)
                       unrated, but determined by Mitchell Hutchins to be of
                       comparable quality ('First Tier Securities'). The Fund
                       may also purchase participation interests in any of the
                       securities in which it is permitted to invest.
                       Participation interests are pro rata interests in
                       securities held by others. The Fund generally may invest
                       no more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of
                       a single issuer (other than securities issued by the U.S.

                       government, its agencies or instrumentalities).
 
                       In managing the Fund's portfolio, Mitchell Hutchins may
                       employ a number of professional money management
                       techniques, including

                       varying the composition and the average weighted maturity
                       of the Fund's portfolio based upon its assessment of the
                       relative values of various money market instruments and
                       future interest rate patterns in order to respond to
                       changing economic and money market conditions and to
                       shifts in fiscal and monetary policy. Mitchell Hutchins
                       may also seek to improve the Fund's yield by purchasing
                       or selling securities to take advantage of yield
                       disparities among similar or dissimilar money market
                       instruments that regularly occur in the money market.
 
                       There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its

                       U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.  The U.S. government
                       securities in which the Fund may invest include direct
                       obligations of the U.S. Treasury (such as Treasury bills,
                       notes and bonds) and obligations issued or guaranteed by
                       U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities. The Fund
                       may invest in U.S. government securities that are
                       supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
                       government (such as Government National Mortgage
                       Association certificates), securities supported primarily
                       or solely by the creditworthiness of the issuer (such as
                       securities of the Resolution Funding Corporation and the
                       Tennessee Valley Authority) and securities that are
                       supported primarily or solely by specific pools of assets
                       and the creditworthiness of a U.S. government-related
                       issuer (such as mortgage-backed securities issued by the
                       Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation).

 
                       The Fund may also acquire custodial receipts that
                       evidence ownership of future interest payments, principal
                       payments or both that have been 'stripped' from certain
                       U.S. Treasury notes or bonds. These custodial receipts
                       are known by various names, including 'Treasury
                       Investment Growth Receipts' ('TIGRs') and 'Certificates
                       of Accrual on Treasury Securities' ('CATS'). The Fund
                       also may invest in separately traded principal and
                       interest components of securities issued or guaranteed by
                       the U.S. Treasury. The principal and interest components
                       of selected securities are traded independently under the
                       Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of
                       Securities ('STRIPS') program. Under the STRIPS program,
                       the principal and interest components are

                       individually numbered and separately issued by the U.S.
                       Treasury. The staff of the SEC currently takes the
                       position that interests in 'stripped' U.S. government
                       securities that are not part of the STRIPS program are
                       not U.S. government securities.
 
                       VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES.  The Fund may
                       purchase variable and floating rate securities with
                       remaining maturities in excess of 13 months issued by
                       U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities or
                       guaranteed by the U.S. government, or (if subject to a
                       demand feature exercisable within 13 months or less)
                       issued by U.S. companies. The yield on these securities
                       is adjusted in relation to changes in specific rates such
                       as the prime rate, and different securities may have
                       different adjustment rates. The Fund's investment in
                       these securities must comply with conditions established
                       by the SEC under which they may be considered to have
                       remaining maturities of 13 months or less. Certain of
                       these obligations carry a demand feature that gives the
                       Fund the right to tender them back to the issuer or a
                       remarketing agent and receive the principal amount of the
                       security prior to maturity. The demand feature may be
                       backed by a letter of credit or other liquidity support
                       arrangement provided by a bank or other financial
                       institution whose credit standing affects the credit
                       quality of the obligation.
 
                       Securities purchased by the Fund may include variable

                       amount master demand notes, which are unsecured
                       redeemable obligations that permit investment of varying
                       amounts at fluctuating interest rates under a direct
                       agreement between the issuer and the Fund. The principal
                       amount of these notes may be increased from time to time
                       by the parties (subject to specified maximums) or
                       decreased by the Fund or the issuer. These notes are
                       payable on demand and are typically unrated.
 
                       REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS.  Repurchase agreements are
                       transactions in which the Fund purchases securities from
                       a bank or recognized securities dealer and simultaneously
                       commits to resell the securities to that bank or dealer
                       at an agreed-upon date or upon demand and at a price
                       reflecting a market rate of interest unrelated to the
                       coupon rate or maturity of the purchased securities.
                       Although repurchase agreements carry certain risks not
                       associated with direct investments in securities,
                       including possible decline in the market value of the
                       underlying securities and delays and costs to the Fund if
                       the other party to the repurchase agreement becomes
                       insolvent, the Fund intends to enter into repurchase
                       agreements only with banks and dealers in transactions
                       believed by Mitchell Hutchins to present minimal credit
                       risks in accordance with guidelines established by the
                       Fund's board of directors.

                       LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES.  The Fund is authorized
                       to lend up to 33 1/3% of the total value of its portfolio
                       securities to broker-dealers or institutional investors
                       that Mitchell Hutchins deems qualified. Lending
                       securities enables the Fund to earn additional income but
                       could result in a loss or delay in recovering securities.
 
                       OTHER INFORMATION.  The Fund may borrow money for
                       temporary purposes from banks or, with respect to up to
                       5% of its net assets, through reverse repurchase
                       agreements, but aggregate borrowings may not exceed 10%
                       of its total assets.
 
                       The Fund may not invest more than 10% of its net assets
                       in illiquid securities, including repurchase agreements
                       with maturities in excess of seven days.
 
                       The Fund's investment objective may not be changed

                       without the approval of the Fund's shareholders. Certain
                       other investment limitations, as described in the
                       Statement of Additional Information, also may not be
                       changed without shareholder approval. All other

                       WIRE REDEMPTIONS.  Shareholders who wish to redeem $5,000
                       or more may request that redemption proceeds be paid in
                       federal funds and wired directly to a pre-designated bank
                       account. To take advantage of this service, shareholders

                       should obtain an authorization form from their
                       PaineWebber Investment Executives or correspondent firms.
                       If a wire redemption order is received by PaineWebber's
                       New York City offices prior to 12:00 noon, Eastern time,
                       on any Business Day, the redemption proceeds will be
                       wired to the shareholder's bank on the same Business Day.
                       Proceeds of all other wire redemption orders will be
                       wired to the shareholder's bank on the next Business Day.
                       PaineWebber reserves the right to charge a fee for wiring
                       funds and to redeem automatically an appropriate number
                       of Fund shares to pay that fee.
 
                       CHECK REDEMPTIONS.  Shareholders may redeem Fund shares
                       by drawing a check, a supply of which may be obtained
                       through PaineWebber, for $500 or more against their Fund
                       accounts. When the check is presented to the Fund's
                       transfer agent ('Transfer Agent') for payment, the
                       Transfer Agent will cause the Fund to redeem sufficient
                       shares to cover the amount of the check. The shareholder
                       will continue to receive dividends on those shares until
                       the check is presented to the Transfer Agent for payment.
                       Cancelled checks are not returned; however, shareholders
                       may obtain photocopies of their cancelled checks upon
                       request. If a shareholder has insufficient shares to
                       cover a check, the check will be returned to the payee
                       marked 'nonsufficient funds.' Checks written in amounts
                       less than $500 will also be returned. Because the amount
                       of Fund shares owned by a shareholder is likely to change
                       each day, shareholders should not attempt to redeem all
                       shares held in their accounts by writing a check. Charges

                       orders will be executed at the net asset value per share
                       next determined after receipt by PaineWebber's New York
                       City offices, and redemption proceeds will be paid

                       PaineWebber may impose an administrative service fee of

                       Shareholders who send redemption orders to their
                       PaineWebber Investment Executives or correspondent firms
                       by mail are responsible for ensuring that the request for
                       redemption is received in good order. 'Good order' means
                       that the request must be accompanied by (a) a letter of
                       instruction or a stock assignment specifying the number

                       of the signature of each registered owner by an eligible

                       their PaineWebber Investment Executives or correspondent
                       firms. Shareholders who redeem all their shares will
                       receive cash credits to their PaineWebber accounts for
                       dividends earned on those shares through the day before
                       redemption. Because the Fund incurs certain fixed costs
                       in maintaining shareholder accounts, the Fund reserves

                       the amount invested to $500 or more within 60 days of the

                       Valuation of Shares
 
                       The Fund uses its best efforts to maintain its net asset
                       value at $1.00 per share. Net asset value per share is
                       determined by dividing the value of the securities held
                       by the Fund plus any cash or other assets minus all
                       liabilities by the number of Fund shares outstanding. The
                       Fund's net asset value is computed once each Business Day
                       at 2:00 p.m., Eastern time.
 
                       The Fund values its portfolio securities using the
                       amortized cost method of valuation, under which market
                       value is approximated by amortizing the difference
                       between the acquisition cost and value at maturity of an
                       instrument on a straight-line basis over its remaining
                       life. All cash, receivables and current payables are
                       carried at their face value. Other assets are valued at
                       fair value as determined in good faith by or under the
                       direction of the Fund's board of directors.

                       Net investment income includes accrued interest and
                       earned discount (including both original issue and market
                       discounts), less amortization of premium and accrued
                       expenses. The Fund distributes any net short-term capital
                       gain annually, but may make more frequent distributions
                       of such gain if necessary to maintain its net asset value
                       per share at $1.00 or to avoid income or excise taxes.
                       The Fund does not expect to realize net long-term capital
                       gain and thus does not anticipate payment of any
                       long-term capital gain distributions.

                       federal income tax on that part of its investment company
                       taxable income (consisting generally of net investment
                       income and net short-term capital gain, if any) that is

                       distributed to its shareholders.
 
                       Dividends paid by the Fund generally are taxable to its
                       shareholders as ordinary income, notwithstanding that
                       such dividends are paid in additional Fund shares.
                       Shareholders not subject to tax on their income generally

                       active Fund account, plus certain out-of-pocket expenses,
                       for certain services not performed by the Transfer Agent.
                       The Fund also incurs other expenses. For the fiscal year
                       ended March 31, 1996, the Fund's ratio of expenses as a
                       percentage of average net assets was 0.60%.
 
                       PaineWebber and Mitchell Hutchins are located at 1285

                       owned by Paine Webber Group Inc., a publicly owned
                       financial services holding company. At June 30, 1996,
                       PaineWebber or Mitchell Hutchins was investment adviser
                       to 31 registered investment companies with 65 separate
                       portfolios and aggregate assets exceeding $30.0 billion.
 
                       Mitchell Hutchins investment personnel may engage in
                       securities transactions for their own accounts pursuant
                       to a code of ethics that establishes procedures for
                       personal investing and restricts certain transactions.
                       
                       Performance Information
 
                       From time to time the Fund may advertise its 'yield' and
                       'effective yield.' Both yield figures are based on
                       historical earnings and are not intended to indicate
                       future performance. The 'yield' of the Fund is the income
                       on an investment in the Fund over a specified seven-day
                       period. This income is then 'annualized' (that is,
                       assumed to be earned each week over a 52-week period) and
                       shown as a percentage of the investment. The 'effective
                       yield' is calculated similarly but, when annualized, the
                       income earned is assumed to be reinvested. The 'effective
                       yield' will be higher than the 'yield' because of the
                       compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.
 
                       The Fund may also advertise other performance data, which

                       may consist of the annual or cumulative return (including
                       realized net short-term capital gain, if any) earned on a
                       hypothetical investment in the Fund since it began
                       operations on May 1, 1978, or for shorter periods. This
                       return data may or may not assume reinvestment of
                       dividends (compounding).
 
The Fund may           The performance of shareholder accounts with small
advertise its          balances will differ from the quoted performance because
'yield' and            daily income for each shareholder account is rounded to
'effective yield.'     the nearest whole penny. Accordingly, very small
The 'effective         shareholder accounts (approximately $33 or lower at
yield' assumes         current interest
dividends are          rates) which generate less than 1/2cents per day of
reinvested.            income will earn no
                       dividends.
                  
                       General Information
 
                       The Fund is registered with the SEC as a diversified,
                       open-end management investment company and was
                       incorporated in Maryland on January 20, 1978. The Fund
                       has an authorized capitalization of 20 billion shares of

                       holding office have been elected by shareholders. The
                       directors are required to call a meeting of shareholders
                       when requested in writing to do so by the shareholders of
                       record holding at least 25% of the Fund's outstanding
                       shares. Each share of the Fund has equal voting, dividend

                      STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
 
     PaineWebber Cashfund, Inc. ('Fund') is a professionally managed, no load
money market fund designed to provide investors with current income, stability
of principal and high liquidity. The Fund's investment adviser, administrator
and distributor is PaineWebber Incorporated ('PaineWebber'); its sub-adviser is
Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ('Mitchell Hutchins'), a wholly owned
subsidiary of PaineWebber. Mitchell Hutchins also serves as the Fund's
sub-administrator. This Statement of Additional Information is not a prospectus
and should be read only in conjunction with the Fund's current Prospectus, dated
August 1, 1996. A copy of the Prospectus may be obtained by contacting any
PaineWebber Investment Executive or correspondent firm or by calling toll-free
1-800-441-7756. This Statement of Additional Information is dated August 1,
1996.
 
                      INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
 
     The following supplements the information contained in the Prospectus
concerning the Fund's investment policies and limitations.
 
   
     YIELDS AND RATINGS OF MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS.  The yields on the money
market instruments in which the Fund invests (such as commercial paper and bank
obligations) are dependent on a variety of factors, including general money
market conditions, conditions in the particular market for the obligation, the
financial condition of the issuer, the size of the offering, the maturity of the
obligation and the ratings of the issue. The ratings of nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations ('NRSROs') represent their opinions as to the
quality of the obligations they undertake to rate. Ratings, however, are general
and are not absolute standards of quality. Consequently, obligations with the
same rating, maturity and interest rate may have different market prices.
Subsequent to its purchase by the Fund, an issue may cease to be rated or its
rating may be reduced. In the event that a security in the Fund's portfolio
ceases to be a 'First Tier Security,' as defined in the Prospectus, or Mitchell
Hutchins becomes aware that a security has received a rating below the second
highest rating by any NRSRO, Mitchell Hutchins or the Fund's board of directors
will consider whether the Fund should continue to hold the obligation. A First
Tier Security rated in the highest short-term rating category by a single NRSRO
at the time of purchase that subsequently receives a rating below the highest
rating category from a different NRSRO will continue to be considered a First
Tier Security.
    
 
   
     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS.  As stated in the Prospectus, the Fund may enter
into repurchase agreements with respect to any security in which it is
authorized to invest. Securities subject to repurchase agreements may have
maturities in excess of 13 months. The Fund maintains custody of the underlying

securities prior to their repurchase; thus, the obligation of the bank or
securities dealer to pay the repurchase price on the date agreed to is, in
effect, secured by such securities. If the value of these securities is less
than the repurchase price, plus any agreed-upon additional amount, the other
party to the agreement must provide additional collateral so that at all times
the collateral is at least equal to the repurchase price, plus any agreed-upon
additional amount. The difference between the total amount to be received upon
repurchase of the securities and the price that was paid by the Fund upon
acquisition is accrued as interest and included in the Fund's net investment
income.
    
<PAGE>
     Repurchase agreements carry certain risks not associated with direct
investments in securities. The Fund intends to enter into repurchase agreements
only with banks and dealers in transactions believed by Mitchell Hutchins to
present minimal credit risks in accordance with guidelines established by the
Fund's board of directors. Mitchell Hutchins will review and monitor the
creditworthiness of those institutions under the board's general supervision.
 
   
     REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS.  The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase
agreements up to an aggregate value of not more than 5% of its net assets. Such
agreements involve the sale of securities held by the Fund subject to its
agreement to repurchase the securities at an agreed-upon date and price
reflecting a market rate of interest. Such agreements are considered to be
borrowings and may be entered into only for temporary or emergency purposes.
While a reverse repurchase agreement is outstanding, the Fund will maintain with
its custodian in a segregated account cash or liquid securities, marked to
market daily, in an amount at least equal to the Fund's obligation under the
reverse repurchase agreement.
    
 
   
     ILLIQUID SECURITIES.  The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net
assets in illiquid securities. The term 'illiquid securities' for this purpose
means securities that cannot be disposed of within seven days in the ordinary
course of business at approximately the amount at which the Fund has valued the
securities and includes, among other things, repurchase agreements maturing in
more than seven days and restricted securities other than those Mitchell
Hutchins has determined to be liquid pursuant to guidelines established by the
Fund's board of directors.
    
 
   
     Not all restricted securities are illiquid. In recent years a large
institutional market has developed for certain securities that are not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 ('1933 Act'), including private
placements, repurchase agreements, commercial paper, foreign securities and
corporate bonds and notes. These instruments are often restricted securities
because the securities are sold in transactions not requiring registration.
Institutional investors generally will not seek to sell these instruments to the
general public, but instead will often depend either on an efficient
institutional market in which such unregistered securities can be readily resold
or on an issuer's ability to honor a demand for repayment. Therefore, the fact

that there are contractual or legal restrictions on resale to the general public
or certain institutions is not dispositive of the liquidity of such investments.
    
 
   
     Rule 144A under the 1933 Act establishes a 'safe harbor' from the
registration requirements of the 1933 Act for resales of certain securities to
qualified institutional buyers. Institutional markets for restricted securities
have developed as a result of Rule 144A, providing both readily ascertainable
values for restricted securities and the ability to liquidate an investment to
satisfy share redemption orders. Such markets include automated systems for the
trading, clearance and settlement of unregistered securities, such as the PORTAL
System sponsored by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
('NASD'). An insufficient number of qualified institutional buyers interested in
purchasing Rule 144A-eligible restricted securities held by the Fund, however,
could affect adversely the marketability of such portfolio securities, and the
Fund might be unable to dispose of such securities promptly or at favorable
prices.
    
 
     The Fund's board of directors has delegated the function of making
day-to-day determinations of liquidity to Mitchell Hutchins, pursuant to
guidelines approved by the board. Mitchell Hutchins takes into account a 
number of factors in reaching liquidity decisions, including (1) the 
frequency of trades for the security, (2) the number of dealers that 
make quotes for the security, (3) the number of dealers that have 
undertaken to make a
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
market in the security, (4) the number of other potential purchasers and (5) the
nature of the security and how trading is effected (e.g., the time needed to
sell the security, how offers are solicited and the mechanics of transfer).
Mitchell Hutchins monitors the liquidity of restricted securities in the Fund's
portfolio and reports periodically on such decisions to the board of directors.
 
   
     LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES.  As indicated in the Prospectus, the Fund
is authorized to lend up to 33 1/3% of its portfolio securities to
broker-dealers or institutional investors that Mitchell Hutchins deems
qualified, but only when the borrower maintains acceptable collateral with the
Fund's custodian, marked to market daily, in an amount at least equal to the
market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends.
Acceptable collateral is limited to cash, U.S. government securities and
irrevocable letters of credit that meet certain guidelines established by
Mitchell Hutchins. In determining whether to lend securities to a particular
broker-dealer or institutional investor, Mitchell Hutchins will consider, and
during the period of the loan will monitor, all relevant facts and
circumstances, including the creditworthiness of the borrower. The Fund will
retain authority to terminate any loan at any time. The Fund may pay reasonable
administrative and custodial fees in connection with a loan and may pay a
negotiated portion of the interest earned on the cash or money market
instruments held as collateral to the borrower or placing broker. The Fund will
receive reasonable interest on the loan or a flat fee from the borrower and
amounts equivalent to any dividends, interest or other distributions on the

securities loaned. The Fund will regain record ownership of loaned securities to
exercise beneficial rights, such as voting and subscription rights and rights to
dividends, interest or other distributions, when regaining such rights is
considered to be in the Fund's interest.
    
 
     INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS.  The Fund will not:
 
          (1) purchase securities of any one issuer if, as a result, more than
              5% of the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of
              that issuer or the Fund would own or hold more than 10% of the
              outstanding voting securities of that issuer, except that up to
              25% of the Fund's total assets may be invested without regard to
              this limitation, and except that this limitation does not apply to
              securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its
              agencies and instrumentalities or to securities issued by other
              investment companies.
 
              The following interpretation applies to, but is not a part of,
              this fundamental restriction: Mortgage- and asset-backed securites
              will not be considered to have been issued by the same issuer by
              reason of the securities having the same sponsor, and mortgage-
              and asset-backed securities issued by a finance or other special
              purpose subsidiary that are not guaranteed by the parent company
              will be considered to be issued by a separate issuer from the
              parent company.
 
          (2) purchase any security if, as a result of that purchase, 25% or
              more of the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of
              issuers having their principal business activities in the same
              industry, except that this limitation does not apply to securities
              issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or
              instrumentalities or to municipal securities or to certificates of
              deposit and bankers' acceptances of domestic branches of U.S.
              banks.
 
              The following interpretation applies to, but is not a part of,
              this fundamental restriction: With respect to this limitation,
              domestic and foreign banking will be considered to be different
              industries.
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
   
          (3) issue senior securities or borrow money, except as permitted under
              the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ('1940 Act'), and
              then not in excess of 33 1/3% of the Fund's total assets
              (including the amount of the senior securities issued but reduced
              by any liabilities not constituting senior securities) at the time
              of the issuance or borrowing, except that the Fund may borrow up
              to an additional 5% of its total assets (not including the amount
              borrowed) for temporary or emergency purposes.
    
 

          (4) make loans, except through loans of portfolio securities or
              through repurchase agreements, provided that for purposes of this
              restriction, the acquisition of bonds, debentures, other debt
              securities or instruments, or participations or other interests
              therein and investments in government obligations, commercial
              paper, certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances or similar
              instruments will not be considered the making of a loan.
 
          (5) engage in the business of underwriting securities of other
              issuers, except to the extent that the Fund might be considered an
              underwriter under the federal securities laws in connection with
              its disposition of portfolio securities.
 
          (6) purchase or sell real estate, except that investments in
              securities of issuers that invest in real estate and investments
              in mortgage-backed securities, mortgage participations or other
              instruments supported by interests in real estate are not subject
              to this limitation, and except that the Fund may exercise rights
              under agreements relating to such securities, including the right
              to enforce security interests and to hold real estate acquired by
              reason of such enforcement until that real estate can be
              liquidated in an orderly manner.
 
          (7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result
              of owning securities or other instruments, but the Fund may
              purchase, sell or enter into financial options and futures,
              forward and spot currency contracts, swap transactions and other
              financial contracts or derivative instruments.
 
   
     The foregoing fundamental investment limitations cannot be changed without
the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) more than 50% of the outstanding
shares of the Fund or (b) 67% or more of the shares present at a shareholders'
meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares are represented at the
meeting in person or by proxy. If a percentage restriction is adhered to at the
time of an investment or transaction, a later increase or decrease in percentage
resulting from changing values of portfolio securities or amount of total assets
will not be considered a violation of any of the foregoing limitations.

     The following non-fundamental investment restrictions may be changed by
vote of the Fund's board of directors without shareholder approval:
 
     The Fund may not:

above provides that PaineWebber or Mitchell Hutchins, as the case may be, shall
not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss
suffered by the Fund in connection with the performance of the contract, except

part of PaineWebber or Mitchell Hutchins, in the performance of its duties or
from reckless disregard of its duties and obligations thereunder. The
PaineWebber Contract also provides that PaineWebber shall not be liable for
losses arising out of the receipt by PaineWebber of inadequate consideration in
connection with an order to purchase Fund shares whether in the form of a
fraudulent check, draft or wire; a check returned for insufficient funds; or any
other such inadequate consideration (hereinafter 'check losses'), except under
the circumstances noted above, but the Fund shall not be liable for check losses
resulting from negligence on the part of PaineWebber. Each of the advisory,
sub-advisory and sub-administration contracts is terminable by vote of the
Fund's board of directors or by the holders of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Fund at any time without penalty, on 60 days' written
notice to PaineWebber or Mitchell Hutchins, as the case may be. Each of the

<PAGE>
(e) taxes (including any income or franchise taxes) and governmental fees; (f)

and other expenses incurred in connection with membership in investment company
organizations.
 
     As required by various state regulations, PaineWebber will reimburse the
Fund if and to the extent that the aggregate operating expenses of the Fund
exceed applicable limits for the fiscal year. Currently, the most restrictive
such limit applicable to the Fund is 2.5% of the first $30 million of the Fund's

average daily net assets, 2.0% of the next $70 million of its average daily net
assets and 1.5% of its average daily net assets in excess of $100 million.

extraordinary items are excluded from this limitation. No reimbursement pursuant
to such limitation was required for the fiscal years ended March 31, 1996, March
31, 1995 and March 31, 1994.

     Mitchell Hutchins personnel may invest in securities for their own accounts
pursuant to a code of ethics that describes the fiduciary duty owed to
shareholders of the PaineWebber mutual funds and other Mitchell Hutchins'
advisory accounts by all Mitchell Hutchins' directors, officers and employees,
establishes procedures for personal investing and restricts certain
transactions. For example, employee accounts generally must be maintained at
PaineWebber, personal trades in most securities require pre-clearance and
short-term trading and participation in initial public offerings generally are
prohibited. In addition, the code of ethics puts restrictions on the timing of
personal investing in relation to trades by PaineWebber funds and other Mitchell
Hutchins advisory clients.

months or less, except for securities subject to repurchase agreements and
except for variable rate and floating rate securities with remaining maturities
of more than 13 months that comply with conditions established by the Securities
and Exchange Commission ('SEC') under which they may be considered to have
remaining maturities of 13 months or less.

    
 
     The Fund purchases portfolio securities from dealers and underwriters as
well as from issuers. Securities are usually traded on a net basis with dealers
acting as principal for their own accounts without a stated commission. Prices
paid to dealers in principal transactions generally include a 'spread,' which is
the difference between the prices at which the dealer is willing to purchase and
sell a specific security at the time. When securities are purchased directly
from an issuer, no commissions or discounts are paid. When securities are
purchased in underwritten offerings, they include a fixed amount of compensation
to the underwriter.
 
   
     The Sub-Advisory Contract authorizes Mitchell Hutchins (with the approval
of the Fund's board) to select brokers and dealers to execute purchases and
sales of the Fund's portfolio securities. It directs Mitchell Hutchins to use
its best efforts to obtain the best available price and the most favorable
execution with respect to all transactions for the Fund. To the extent that the
execution and price offered by more than one dealer are comparable, Mitchell
Hutchins may, in its discretion, effect transactions in portfolio securities
with dealers who provide the Fund with research, analysis, advice and similar
services. Although Mitchell Hutchins may receive certain research or execution
services in connection with these transactions, Mitchell Hutchins will not
purchase securities at a higher price or sell securities at a lower price than
would otherwise be paid if no weight was attributed to the services provided by
the executing dealer. Moreover, Mitchell Hutchins will not enter into any
explicit soft dollar arrangements relating to principal transactions and will
not receive in principal transactions the types of services which could be
purchased for hard dollars. Research services furnished by the dealers through
which or with which the Fund effects securities transactions may be used by
Mitchell Hutchins in advising other funds or accounts and, conversely, research
services furnished to Mitchell Hutchins in connection with other funds or
accounts that Mitchell Hutchins advises may be used in advising the Fund. During
its past three fiscal years, the Fund has not paid any brokerage commissions,
nor has it allocated any transactions to dealers for research, analysis, advice
and similar services.
    
 
   
     Mitchell Hutchins may engage in agency transactions in over-the-counter
equity and debt securities in return for research and execution services. These
transactions are entered into only in compliance with procedures ensuring that
the transaction (including commissions) is at least as favorable as it would
have been if effected directly with a market-maker that did not provide research
or execution services. These procedures include Mitchell Hutchins receiving
multiple quotes from dealers before executing the transactions on an agency
basis.
    
 
     Investment decisions for the Fund and for other investment accounts managed
by Mitchell Hutchins are made independently of each other in light of differing
considerations for the various accounts. However, the same investment decision
may occasionally be made for the Fund and one or more of such accounts. In such
cases, simultaneous transactions are inevitable. Purchases or sales are then

averaged as to price and allocated between the Fund and such other account(s) as
to amount according to a formula deemed equitable to the Fund and such
account(s). While in some cases this practice could have a detrimental effect
upon the price or value of
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
the security as far as the Fund is concerned or upon its ability to complete its
entire order, in other cases it is believed that coordination and the ability to
participate in volume transactions will be beneficial to the Fund.
 
   
     As of March 31, 1996, the Fund owned commercial paper and short-term
corporate obligations issued by the following persons who are regular
broker-dealers for the Fund: Goldman Sachs Group LP ($109,704,598); Merrill
Lynch & Co, Inc. ($142,602,057); Morgan (J.P.) & Co. Inc. ($28,011,422); Morgan
Stanley Group, Inc. ($177,012,312); and Nomura Holding America Inc.
($25,000,000).
    
 
   
                  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING REDEMPTIONS
    
 
     The Fund may suspend redemption privileges or postpone the date of payment
during any period (1) when the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ('NYSE') is closed
or trading on the NYSE is restricted as determined by the SEC, (2) when an
emergency exists, as defined by the SEC, which makes it not reasonably
practicable for the Fund to dispose of securities owned by it or to determine
fairly the market value of its assets or (3) as the SEC may otherwise permit.
The redemption price may be more or less than the shareholder's cost, depending
on the market value of the Fund's portfolio at the time, although the Fund
attempts to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share.
 
     Under normal circumstances, the Fund will redeem shares when so requested
by a shareholder's broker-dealer other than PaineWebber by telegram or telephone
to PaineWebber. Such a redemption order will be executed at the net asset value
next determined after the order is received by PaineWebber. Redemptions of Fund
shares effected through a broker-dealer other than PaineWebber may be subject to
a service charge by that broker-dealer.
 
                              VALUATION OF SHARES
 
   
     The Fund uses its best efforts to maintain its net asset value at $1.00 per
share. The Fund's net asset value per share is determined by State Street Bank
and Trust Company ('State Street') as of 2:00 p.m., Eastern time, on each
Business Day. As defined in the Prospectus, 'Business Day' means any day on
which State Street's Boston offices, and the New York City offices of
PaineWebber and PaineWebber's bank, The Bank of New York, are all open for
business. One or more of these institutions will be closed on the observance of
the following holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents'
Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day,
Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

    
 
   
     The Fund values its portfolio securities in accordance with the amortized
cost method of valuation under Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. To use amortized
cost to value its portfolio securities, the Fund must adhere to certain
conditions under that Rule relating to the Fund's investments, some of which are
discussed in the Prospectus. Amortized cost is an approximation of market value,
whereby the difference between acquisition cost and value at maturity of the
instrument is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the
instrument. The effect of changes in the market value of a security as a result
of fluctuating interest rates is not taken into account, and thus the amortized
cost method of valuation may result in the value of a security being higher or
lower than its actual market value. In the event that a large number of
redemptions take place at a time when interest rates have increased, the Fund
might have to sell portfolio securities prior to maturity and at a price that
might not be as desirable.
    
 
                                       17
<PAGE>
   
     The Fund's board of directors has established procedures for the purpose of
maintaining a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share, which include a
review of the extent of any deviation of net asset value per share, based on
available market quotations, from the $1.00 amortized cost per share. Should
that deviation exceed 1/2 of 1%, the board of directors will promptly consider
whether any action should be initiated to eliminate or reduce material dilution
or other unfair results to shareholders. Such action may include redeeming
shares in kind, selling portfolio securities prior to maturity, reducing or
withholding dividends and utilizing a net asset value per share as determined by
using available market quotations. The Fund will maintain a dollar-weighted
average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less and except as otherwise indicated
herein will not purchase any instrument with a remaining maturity greater than
13 months, will limit portfolio investments, including repurchase agreements, to
those U.S. dollar-denominated instruments that are of high quality and that the
directors determine present minimal credit risks as advised by Mitchell
Hutchins, and will comply with certain reporting and recordkeeping procedures.
There is no assurance that constant net asset value per share will be
maintained. In the event amortized cost ceases to represent fair value, the
board will take appropriate action.
    
 
   
     In determining the approximate market value of portfolio investments, the
Fund may employ outside organizations, which may use a matrix or formula method
that takes into consideration market indices, matrices, yield curves and other
specific adjustments. This may result in the securities being valued at a price
different from the price that would have been determined had the matrix or
formula method not been used.
    
 
                                     TAXES
 

     In order to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment
company under the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund must distribute to its
shareholders for each taxable year at least 90% of its investment company
taxable income (consisting generally of net investment income and net short-term
capital gain, if any) and must meet several additional requirements. Among these
requirements are the following: (1) the Fund must derive at least 90% of its
gross income each taxable year from dividends, interest, payments with respect
to securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of securities and
certain other income; (2) the Fund must derive less than 30% of its gross income
each taxable year from the sale or other disposition of securities held for less
than three months; (3) at the close of each quarter of the Fund's taxable year,
at least 50% of the value of its total assets must be represented by cash and
cash items, U.S. government securities and other securities, with these other
securities limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount that does not
exceed 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets; and (4) at the close of each
quarter of the Fund's taxable year, not more than 25% of the value of its total
assets may be invested in securities (other than U.S. government securities) of
any one issuer.
 
                              CALCULATION OF YIELD
 
     The Fund computes its yield and effective yield quotations using
standardized methods required by the SEC. The Fund from time to time advertises
(1) its current yield based on a recently ended seven-day period, computed by
determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a
hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one share at the beginning
of the period, subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from that
shareholder account, dividing the difference by the value of the account at the
beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return and then
multiplying the base period return by (365/7), with the resulting yield figure
carried to at least the nearest hundredth of one percent; and (2) its
 
                                       18
<PAGE>
effective yield based on the same seven-day period by compounding the base
period return by adding 1, raising the sum to a power equal to (365/7) and
subtracting 1 from the result, according to the following formula:
 
             EFFECTIVE YIELD = [(BASE PERIOD RETURN + 1)365/7] - 1
 
     Yield may fluctuate daily and does not provide a basis for determining
future yields. Because the yield of the Fund fluctuates, it cannot be compared
with yields on savings accounts or other investment alternatives that provide an
agreed-to or guaranteed fixed yield for a stated period of time. However, yield
information may be useful to an investor considering temporary investments in
money market instruments. In comparing the yield of one money market fund to
another, consideration should be given to each fund's investment policies,
including the types of investments made, the average maturity of the portfolio
securities and whether there are any special account charges that may reduce the
yield.
 
     The Fund's yield and effective yield for the seven-day period ended March
31, 1996 were 4.73% and 4.84%, respectively.
 

   
     OTHER INFORMATION. The Fund's performance data quoted in advertising and
other promotional materials ('Performance Advertisements') represent past
performance and are not intended to predict or indicate future results. The
return on an investment in the Fund will fluctuate. In Performance
Advertisements, the Fund may compare its yield with data published by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. for money funds ('Lipper'), CDA Investment
Technologies, Inc. ('CDA'), IBC/Donoghue's Money Market Fund Report
('Donoghue'), Wiesenberger Investment Companies Service ('Wiesenberger'),
Investment Company Data Inc. ('ICD') or Morningstar Mutual Funds
('Morningstar'), or with the performance of recognized stock and other indexes,
including (but not limited to) the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price
Index, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Morgan Stanley Capital World Index,
the Lehman Brothers Treasury Bond Index, the Lehman Brothers
Government-Corporate Bond Index, the Salomon Brothers Non-U.S. World Government
Bond Index and the Consumer Price Index as published by the U.S. Department of
Commerce. The Fund also may refer in such materials to mutual fund performance
rankings and other data, such as comparative asset, expense and fee levels,
published by Lipper, CDA, Donoghue, Wiesenberger, ICD or Morningstar.
Performance Advertisements also may refer to discussions of the Fund and
comparative mutual fund data and ratings reported in independent periodicals,
including (but not limited to) THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, MONEY Magazine, FORBES,
BUSINESS WEEK, FINANCIAL WORLD, BARRON'S, FORTUNE, THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE, THE WASHINGTON POST and THE KIPLINGER LETTERS.
    
 
     The Fund may include discussions or illustrations of the effects of
compounding in Performance Advertisements. 'Compounding' refers to the fact
that, if dividends on a Fund investment are reinvested by being paid in
additional Fund shares, any future income of the Fund would increase the value,
not only of the original Fund investment, but also of the additional Fund shares
received through reinvestment. As a result, the value of the Fund investment
would increase more quickly than if dividends had been paid in cash.
 
   
     The Fund may also compare its performance with the performance of bank
certificates of deposit (CDs) as measured by the CDA Certificate of Deposit
Index and the Bank Rate Monitor National Index and the averages of yields of CDs
of major banks published by Banxquotes(Registered) Money Markets. In comparing
the Fund's performance to CD performance, investors should keep in mind that
bank CDs are insured in whole or in part by an agency of the U.S. government and
offer fixed principal and fixed or variable rates of interest, and that bank CD
yields may vary depending on the financial institution offering the CD and
prevailing interest

rates. Fund shares are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, and
returns will fluctuate. While the Fund seeks to maintain a stable net asset
value of $1.00 per share, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do
so.

             Item 27.  Indemnification

                  Article Eleventh of the Articles of Incorporation provides
             that the directors and officers of the Registrant shall not be
             liable to the Registrant or to any of its stockholders for money
             damages to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
             Article Eleventh also provides that any repeal or modification of
             Article Eleventh or adoption, or modification of any other
             provision of the Articles or By-Laws inconsistent with Article
             Eleventh shall be prospective only, to the extent that any such
             repeal or modification would, if applied retroactively, adversely
             affect any limitation on the liability of any director or officer
             of the Registrant or indemnification available to any person
             covered by these provisions with respect to any act or omission
             which occurred prior to such repeal, modification or adoption.

                  Section 10.01 of Article 10 of the By-Laws provides that the
             Registrant shall indemnify its present and past directors,
             officers, employees and agents, and any persons who are serving
             or have served at the request of the Registrant as a director,
             officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
             joint venture, trust, or enterprise, to the fullest extent
             permitted by law.

                  Section 10.02 of Article 10 of the By-Laws further provides
             that the Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf
             of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or

             agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of
             the Registrant as a director, officer or employee or agent of
             another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
             enterprise against any liability asserted against him and
             incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status
             as such, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to
             indemnify him against such liability.

                  Section 9 of the Investment Advisory, Administration and
             Distribution Contract between Registrant and PaineWebber
             Incorporated ("PaineWebber") provides that PaineWebber shall not
             be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any
             loss suffered by the Registrant in connection with the matters to
             which the Contract relates, except a loss resulting from willful
             misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on its part in the
             performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by it of its
             obligations and duties under the Contract.

                  Section 7 of the Sub-Advisory Contract between PaineWebber
             and Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins")
             provides that Mitchell Hutchins will not be liable for any error
             of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by
             PaineWebber or by the Registrant or its shareholders in
             connection with the performance of the Contract, except a loss
             resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence
             on its part in the performance of its duties or from reckless
             disregard by it of its obligations or duties under the Contract.

                  Section 8 of the Sub-Administration Contract between
             PaineWebber and Mitchell Hutchins contains provisions similar to
             Section 9 of the Investment Advisory, Administration and
             Distribution Contract between the Registrant and PaineWebber.

                  Section 7 of the Service Contract between Registrant and
             PaineWebber provides that PaineWebber shall be indemnified and
             held harmless by the Registrant against all liabilities, except
             those arising out of bad faith, gross negligence, willful
             misfeasance or reckless disregard of its duties under the Service
             Contract.

                  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
             Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be provided to directors,
             officers and controlling persons of the Registrant, pursuant to
             the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been
             advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
             Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
             expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
             event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
             (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or

             paid by a director, officer or controlling persons of the
             Registrant in connection with the successful defense of any
             action, suit or proceeding or payment pursuant to any insurance
             policy) is asserted against the Registrant by such director,
             officer or controlling person in connection with the securities
             being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of
             its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
             submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
             whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
             expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
             adjudication of such issue.

            this Restatement of Articles of Incorporation, which do not amend

            said holder.

            SEVENTH: Issue, Redemption and Repurchase of Capital Stock.

                                         SECTION I
                             ISSUE OF THE CORPORATION'S SHARES

                  1.01  General.  The Board of Directors may from time to time
            issue, reissue, sell or cause to be issued and sold any of the
            Corporation's authorized shares of Capital Stock, including any
            additional shares hereafter authorized and any shares redeemed or
            repurchased by the Corporation, except that only shares previously
            contracted to be sold may be issued during any period when the
            determination of net asset value is suspended pursuant to the
            provisions of Section III hereof.  All shares of such authorized
            Capital Stock, when issued in accordance with the terms of this
            Section I, shall be fully paid and nonassessable.

                  1.02  Price.  No shares of Capital Stock shall be issued or
            sold by the Corporation, except as a stock dividend distributed to
            shareholders, for less than an amount which would result in
            proceeds to the Corporation, before taxes payable by the
            Corporation in connection with such transaction, of at least the
            net asset value per share determined as set forth in Section III
            hereof as of such time as the Board of Directors shall have by
            resolution prescribed.  In the absence of a resolution of the
            Board of Directors applicable to the transaction, such net asset
            value shall be that next determined after receipt of an
            unconditional order for shares has been received by the
            Corporation (either directly or through one of its agents), the
            sales price in currency has been determined and Federal funds have
            been credited to an account of the Corporation or to an account of
            its custodian established for the Corporation.

                  1.03  Merger or Consolidation.  In connection with the ac-
            quisition of all or substantially all the assets or stock of
            another investment company or investment trust, the Board of
            Directors may issue or cause to be issued shares of Capital Stock
            of the Corporation and accept in payment therefore, in lieu of
            cash, such assets at their market value, or such stock at the
            market value of the assets held by such investment company or
            investment trust, either with or without adjustment for contingent
            costs or liabilities, provided such assets are of the character in
            which the Board of Directors is permitted to invest the funds of
            the Corporation.

                  1.04  Fractional Shares.  The Corporation may issue and sell
            or cause to be issued and sold fractions of shares having pro rata
            all the rights of full shares, including, without limitation, the
            right to vote and to receive dividends.

                                        SECTION II
                               REDEMPTION AND REPURCHASE OF
                                 THE CORPORATION'S SHARES


                  2.01  Redemption of Shares.  All shares of the Capital Stock
            of the Corporation now or hereafter authorized shall be "subject
            to redemption" and "redeemable" in the sense used in the General
            Laws of the State of Maryland authorizing the formation of
            corporations, at the redemption or purchase price for any such
            shares, determined in the manner set out in these Articles of
            Incorporation or in any amendment thereto; provided, however, that
            the Corporation shall have the right, at its option, to refuse to
            redeem the shares of stock at less than the par value thereof.
            Redeemed shares may be resold by the Corporation.

                  The Corporation shall redeem shares of its Capital Stock,
            subject to the conditions, and at the price determined as
            hereinafter set forth, upon the appropriately verified written
            application of the record holder thereof (or upon such other form
            of request as the Board of Directors may determine) at such office
            or agency as may be designated from time to time for that purpose
            by the Board of Directors.  Any such application must be
            accompanied by any certificate or certificates which may have been
            issued for such shares, duly endorsed or accompanied by a proper
            instrument of transfer.

                                     - 3 -

<PAGE>

                  2.02  Price.  Such shares shall be redeemed at their net
            asset value determined as set forth in Section III hereof as of
            such time as the Board of Directors shall have prescribed by
            resolution.  In the absence of such resolution, the redemption
            price of shares shall be the net asset value of such shares next
            determined as set forth in Section III hereof after receipt of
            such application (including any certificate or certificates which
            may have been issued therefore, if any, duly endorsed or
            accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer).

                  2.03  Payment.  Payment for such shares shall be made in
            cash to the shareholder of record within 7 days after the date
            upon which the application (including any certificate or certi-
            ficates which may have been issued therefore, duly endorsed or
            accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer) is received,
            subject to the provision of Section 2.04 hereof.

                  2.04  Effect of Suspension of Determination of Net Asset
            Value.  If, pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof, the Board of Di-
            rectors shall declare a suspension of the determination of net
            asset value, the rights of stockholders (including those who shall
            have applied for redemption pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof but
            who shall not yet have received payment) to have shares redeemed
            and paid for by the Corporation shall be suspended until the
            termination of such suspension is declared.  Any stockholder who
            shall have his redemption right so suspended may during the period
            of such suspension, by appropriate written notice of revocation at

            the office or agency where application was made, revoke any
            application for redemption not honored and withdraw any
            certificates on deposit.  The redemption price of shares for which
            redemption applications have not been revoked shall be the net
            asset value of such shares next determined as set forth in Section
            III after the termination of such suspension, and payment shall be
            made within 7 days after the date upon which the application was
            made plus the period after such application during which the
            determination of net asset value was suspended.

                  2.05  Repurchase by Agreement.  The Corporation may repur-
            chase shares of the Corporation directly, or through its dis-
            tributor or another agent designated for the purpose, by agreement
            with the owner thereof at a price not exceeding the net asset
            value per share determined pursuant to Section III hereof.

                  2.06  Redemption of Stockholders' Interest.  The Corporation
            shall have the right to redeem shares of any stockholder for their
            then current net asset value per share if at such time the
            stockholder owns shares having an aggregate net asset value of
            less than $500 subject to such terms and conditions as the Board
            of Directors may approve.  In addition, if, in the opinion of the
            Board of Directors, concentration in the ownership of the
            Corporation's shares might cause the Corporation to be deemed a
            personal holding company within the meaning of the Internal
            Revenue Code, the Corporation may compel the redemption of, reject
            any order for or refuse to give effect on the Corporation's books
            to transfer of, its shares in an effort to prevent personal
            holding company status. The Corporation shall be required only to
            give general notice to all shareholders of its intention to avail
            itself of either such right, either by publication in the
            Corporation's prospectus, if any, or by such other means as the
            Board of Directors may determine.

                                        SECTION III
                                 NET ASSET VALUE OF SHARES

                  3.01  By Whom Determined.  The Board of Directors shall have
            the power and duty to determine from time to time the net asset
            value per share of the outstanding shares of each series of
            Capital Stock of the Corporation. It may delegate such power and
            duty to any one or more of the directors and officers of the
            Corporation, to the investment adviser, custodian or depositary of
            the Corporation's assets, or to another agent of the Corporation
            appointed for such purpose.  Any determination made pursuant to
            this Section by the Board of Directors or its delegate shall be
            binding on all parties concerned.

                  3.02  When Determined.  The net asset value shall be deter-
            mined at such times as the Board of Directors shall prescribe by
            resolution, provided that such net asset value shall be determined
            at least once each week.  In the absence of a resolution of the
            Board of Directors, the net asset value shall be determined on
            each business day as of 12:00 noon New York City time and as of

            the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

                  3.03  Suspension of Determination of Net Asset Value.  The
            Board of Directors may declare a suspension of the determination
            of net asset value for the whole or any part of any period (a)
            during which the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than
            customary week-end and holiday closings, (b) during which trading
            on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted, (c) during which an
            emergency exists as a result of which disposal by the Corporation
            of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable or it is
            not reasonably practicable for the Corporation fairly to determine
            the value of its net assets or (d) during which a governmental
            body having jurisdiction over the Corporation may by order permit
            for the protection of the security holders of the Corporation.
            Such suspension shall take effect at such time as the Board of
            Directors shall specify and thereafter there shall be no
            determination of net asset value until the Board of Directors
            shall declare the suspension at an end, except that the suspension
            shall terminate in any event on the first day on which (1) the
            condition giving rise to the suspension shall have ceased to exist
            and (2) no other condition exists under which suspension is
            authorized under this Section 3.03.  Each declaration by the Board
            of Directors pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall be consistent
            with such official rules and regulations, if any, relating to the
            subject matter thereof as shall have been promulgated by the
            Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental body
            having jurisdiction over the Corporation and as shall be in effect
            at the time.  To the extent not inconsistent with such official
            rules and regulations, the determination of the Board of Directors
            shall be conclusive.

                  3.04  Computation of Per Share Net Asset Value.

                  (a)  Net Asset Value Per Share.  The net asset value of each
            share as of any particular time shall be the quotient obtained by
            dividing the value of the net assets of the Corporation by the
            total number of shares outstanding.

                  (b)  Value of Corporation's Net Assets.  The value of the
            Corporation's net assets as of any particular time shall be the
            value of the Corporation's assets less its liabilities, determined
            and computed as follows:

                        (1)  Corporation's Assets.  The Corporation's assets
                  shall be deemed to include:  (A) all cash on hand or on
                  deposit, including any interest accrued thereon, (B) all
                  bills and demand notes and accounts receivable, (C) all
                  securities owned or contracted for by the Corporation, (D)
                  all stock and cash dividends and cash distributions payable
                  to but not yet received by the Corporation (when the

                  valuation of the underlying security is being determined ex-
                  dividend), (E) all interest accrued on all interest-bearing
                  securities owned by the Corporation (except accrued interest
                  included in the valuation of the underlying security), (F)
                  all repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements and (G) all
                  other property of every kind and nature, including prepaid
                  expenses.

                        (2)  Valuation of Assets.  The value of such assets is
            to be determined as follows:

                              (i)  Cash and Prepaid Expenses.  The value of
                        any cash on hand and of any prepaid expenses shall be
                        deemed to be their face amount.

                              (ii)  Other Current Assets.  The value of any
                        cash on deposit, bills, demand notes, accounts
                        receivable, and cash dividends and interest declared
                        or accrued as aforesaid and not yet received shall be
                        deemed to be the face amount thereof, unless the Board
                        of Directors or its delegate shall be determine that
                        any such item is not worth its face amount.  In such
                        case the value of the item shall be deemed to be its
                        reasonable value, as determined by the Board of
                        Directors or its delegate.

                              (iii)  Securities Listed or Dealt in on New York
                        Stock Exchange.  The value of any security listed or
                        dealt in upon the New York Stock Exchange and not
                        subject to restrictions against sale by the
                        Corporation on such Exchange shall be determined by
                        taking the latest sale price at the time as of which
                        net asset value is being determined, all as reported
                        by any means in common use.  Lacking any sales, the
                        value shall be deemed 

                                     - 5 -

                        to be such value, not higher than the closing asked
                        price and not lower than the closing bid price therefor
                        at such time, as the Board of Directors or its delegate
                        may from time to time determine.  When an appraisal is
                        made as part of a determination other than as of the
                        close of trading, the latest available quotations (i.e.,
                        last sale on that day or latest bid asked if no sale on
                        that day) shall be used.  The Board of Directors may by
                        resolution permit quotations on an exchange other than
                        the New York Stock Exchange or  over-the-counter rather
                        than stock exchange quotations to be used when they
                        appear to the Board of Directors or its delegate to
                        reflect more closely the fair value of any particular
                        security in the portfolio.


                              (iv)  Securities Listed on Other Exchanges.  The
                        value of any security listed or dealt in on one or
                        more securities exchanges, but not on the New York
                        Stock Exchange and not subject to restrictions against
                        sale by the Corporation on such exchanges, shall be
                        determined as nearly as possible in the manner
                        described in the preceding subparagraph, with
                        reference to the quotations on the exchange that, in
                        the option of the Board of Directors or its delegate,
                        best reflects the fair value of the security.

                              (v)  Unlisted Securities and Other Property.
                        The value of any other property, the valuation of
                        which is not provided for above, shall be its fair
                        market value as determined in such manner as the Board
                        of Directors shall from time to time prescribe by
                        resolution.

                        (3)  The Corporation's Liabilities.  The Corporation's
                  liabilities shall not be deemed to include outstanding
                  shares and surplus.  They shall be deemed to include:  (A)
                  all bills and accounts payable, (B) all expenses accrued,
                  (C) all contractual obligations for the payment of money or
                  property, including the amount of any unpaid dividends upon
                  the Corporation's shares declared to shareholders of record
                  at or before the time as of which the net asset value is
                  being determined, (D) all reserves authorized approved by
                  the Board of Directors for taxes or contingencies and (E)
                  all other liabilities of whatsoever kind and nature.

                  3.05  Interim Determinations.  Any determination of net
            asset value other than as of 12:00 noon New York City time and as
            of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange may be made
            either by appraisal or by calculation or estimate.  Any such
            calculation or estimate shall be based on changes in the market
            value of representative or selected securities or on changes in
            recognized market averages since the last closing appraisal and
            made in a manner which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors
            or its delegate, will fairly reflect the changes in the net asset
            value.

                  3.06  Miscellaneous.  For the purposes of this Section III:

                  (a)  Shares of the Corporation sold shall be deemed to be
            outstanding as of the time at or after which an unconditional
            order therefor has been received by the Corporation (directly or
            through one of its agents), the sale price in currency has been
            determined and federal funds are credited to an account of a
            series of stock of the Corporation or to an account of its
            custodian established for said series of stock of the Corporation.
            The net sale price of shares sold to the Corporation (less
            commission, if any, and less any stamp or other tax payable by the
            Corporation in connection with the issue and sale thereof) shall

            be thereupon deemed to be an asset belonging to that series of the
            Corporation.

                  (b)  Shares of a series of stock of the Corporation for
            which an application for redemption has been made or which are
            subject to repurchase by the Corporation shall be deemed to be
            outstanding up to and including the time as of which the re-
            demption or repurchase price is determined.  After such time, they
            shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and the price until
            paid shall be deemed to be a liability belonging to said series of
            the Corporation.

                  (c)  Funds on deposit and contractual obligations payable to
            the Corporation in foreign currency and liabilities and
            contractual obligations payable by the Corporation in foreign
            currency shall be taken at the current cable rate of exchange as
            nearly as practicable at the time as of which the net asset value
            is computed.

                                        SECTION IV
                                COMPLIANCE WITH INVESTMENT
                                    COMPANY ACT OF 1940

                  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this
            Article SEVENTH, the board of directors may prescribe, in its
            absolute discretion, such other bases and times for determining
            the per share net asset value of the Corporation's Capital Stock
            as it shall deem necessary or desirable to enable the Corporation
            to comply with any provision of the Investment Company Act of
            1940, or any rule or regulation thereunder, including any rule or
            regulation adopted pursuant to Section 22 of said Act by the
            Securities and Exchange Commission or any securities association
            registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, all as in
            effect now or as hereafter amended or added.

            EIGHTH: Board of Directors.

                  The number of directors of the Corporation shall be such
            number as may from time to time be fixed in the manner provided in
            the By-Laws of the Corporation, provided that the number of
            directors shall not be less than three.  Except as provided in the
            By-Laws, the election of directors may be conducted in any way
            approved at the meeting (whether of stockholders or directors) at
            which the election is held, provided that such election shall be
            by ballot whenever requested by any person entitled to vote.  As

            Incorporation, the Board of Directors is comprised of ten members

            Garrett Bewkes, Jr., Richard Burt, Mary C. Farrell, Meyer
            Feldberg, George W. Gowen, Frederic V. Malek, Carl W. Schafer, and

            NINTH: Stockholder Liability.

            be liable to any extent for the payment of the corporate debts.

            TENTH: Management of the Affairs of the Corporation.

                  (1)  Powers of the Corporation.  All corporate powers and
            authority of the Corporation (except as at the time otherwise
            provided by statute, by these Articles of Incorporation or by the
            By-Laws) shall be vested in and exercised by the Board of
            Directors.

                  (2)  By-Laws.  The Board of Directors shall have the power
            to make, alter or repeal the By-Laws of the Corporation except to
            the extent that the By-Laws otherwise provide.  The By-Laws may
            provide that meetings of the stockholders may be held at any place
            in the United States provided in, or fixed by the Board of
            Directors pursuant to, the By-Laws.  The By-Laws may also provide
            for the conduct of meetings of the Board of Directors or
            committees thereof by means of a telephone conference circuit.

                  (3)  Compensation of Directors.  The Board of Directors
            shall have power from time to time to authorize payment of com-
            pensation to the directors for services to the Corporation,
            including fees for attendance at meetings of the Board of Di-
            rectors and of committees.

                  (4)  Inspection of Corporation's Books.  The Board of Di-
            rectors shall have power from time to time to determine whether
            and to what extent, and at what times and places and under what
            conditions and regulations, the 

                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>

            accounts and books of the Corporation (other than the stock ledger)
            or any of them shall be open to the inspection of stockholders; and
            no stockholder shall have any right of inspecting any account, book
            or document of the Corporation except as at the time conferred by
            statute, unless authorized by a resolution of the stockholders or
            the Board of Directors.

                  (5)  Meetings, Offices, etc.  Both stockholders and direc-
            tors shall have power, if the By-Laws so provide, to hold their
            meetings and to have one or more offices within or without the
            State of Maryland and to keep the books of the Corporation (except
            as at the time otherwise required by statute) outside the State of
            Maryland, at such places as from time to time may be designated by
            the By-Laws or the Board of Directors.

                  (6)  Majority of Votes.  Notwithstanding any provision of

            the General Corporation Laws of the State of Maryland requiring a
            greater proportion than a majority of the votes entitled to be
            cast in order to take or authorize any action, any such action may
            be taken or authorized upon the concurrence of at least a majority
            of the aggregate number of votes entitled to be cast thereon.

                  (7)  Determination of Net Profits, etc; Dividends.  The
            Board of Directors is expressly authorized to determine in ac-
            cordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
            practices what constitutes net profits, earnings, surplus or net
            assets in excess of capital, and to determine what accounting
            periods shall be used by the Corporation for any purpose, whether
            annual or any other period, including daily; to set apart out of
            any funds of the Corporation such reserves for such purposes as it
            shall determine and to abolish the same; to declare and pay
            dividends and distributions in cash, securities or other property
            from surplus or any funds legally available therefor, at such
            intervals (which may be as frequently as daily) or on such other
            periodic basis, as it shall determine; to declare such dividends
            or distributions including daily dividends, by means of a formula
            or other method of determination at meetings held less frequently
            than the frequency of the effectiveness of such declarations; to
            establish payment dates for dividends or any other distributions
            on any basis including dates occurring less frequently than the
            effectiveness of the declarations thereof; and to provide for the
            payment of declared dividends on a date other than the specified
            payment date in the case of stockholders of the Corporation
            redeeming their entire ownership of shares of the Corporation.

            ELEVENTH: Name.

                  The Corporation acknowledges that it is adopting its cor-
            porate name through permission of Paine, Webber, Jackson & Curtis
            Incorporated, and agrees that Paine, Webber, Jackson & Curtis
            Incorporated reserves to itself and any successor to its business
            the right to grant the non-exclusive right to use the name

            Fund" or "Paine Webber Fund" or "Paine Webber" or any similar name
            to any other corporation or entity, including but not limited to
            any investment company of which Paine, Webber, Jackson & Curtis
            Incorporated or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof or any
            successor to the business thereof shall be the investment adviser,
            administrator or distributor.

            TWELFTH: Reservation of Right to Amend.

                  The Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal any
            provision contained in these Articles of Incorporation from time
            to time and at any time in the manner now or hereafter prescribed
            by the law of the State of Maryland and all rights herein
            conferred upon stockholders are granted subject to such
            reservation.

            shares to the other party to the contract or appoint such other
            party its sales agent for such shares (such other party being
            herein sometimes called the "underwriter"), and in either case on
            such 

                                     - 8 -

<PAGE>
            terms and conditions as may be prescribed in the By-Laws, if
            any, and such further terms and conditions as the Board of
            Directors may in its discretion determine not inconsistent with
            the provisions of this Article THIRTEENTH or Article SEVENTH
            hereof or of the By-Laws; and such contract may also provide for
            the repurchase of shares of the Corporation by such other party as
            agent of the Corporation.

                  (b)  The Board of Directors may in its discretion from time
            to time enter into an investment advisory or management contract
            or contracts whereby the other party to such contract shall

            investment advisory, statistical and research facilities and
            services and such other facilities and services, if any, and all
            upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may in
            its discretion determine.

                  (c)  Any contract of the character described in paragraphs
            (a) or (b) or for services as administrator, custodian, transfer
            agent or disbursing agent or related services may be entered into
            with any person (including a corporation, company, trust,
