PAINEWEBBER CASHFUND

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, STRATEGIES AND RISKS
- ------------------------------------------

FUND OBJECTIVE

Current income, stability of principal and high liquidity.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The fund is a money  market  fund.  It seeks to maintain a stable price of $1.00
per share.  To do this,  the fund  invests in a  diversified  portfolio  of high
quality, short-term money market instruments. These investments include

o     commercial  paper  and  other  short-term   obligations  of  corporations,
      partnerships, trusts and other entities

o     U.S. government securities

o     certificates of deposit and other bank obligations

o     repurchase agreements

The fund may invest in foreign  money market  instruments,  but only if they are
denominated in U.S.  dollars.  The fund's  investments may include  variable and
floating rate securities and participation interests.

PaineWebber Incorporated,  the fund's investment adviser, has appointed Mitchell
Hutchins  Asset  Management  Inc. to serve as the fund's  sub-adviser.  Mitchell
Hutchins  selects money market  instruments for the fund based on its assessment
of credit quality and market interest rates. Because the fund buys and sells its
portfolio  securities  based  on  considerations  of  safety  of  principal  and
liquidity,  the fund may not buy securities that pay the highest yield. The fund
may attempt to increase  its yield by trading to take  advantage  of  short-term
market variations.


PRINCIPAL RISKS

An  investment  in the fund is not a bank  deposit  and is neither  insured  nor
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation or any other government
agency.  While the fund seeks to maintain the value of your  investment at $1.00
per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

While  the  fund's  investments  in  money  market  instruments   generally  are
considered  to have  low risk of loss of  principal  or  interest,  they are not
completely risk free.  Issuers may not make principal or interest  payments when
due.  The fund is subject to interest  rate risk,  which means that the value of
its  investments  generally will fall when interest rates rise.  When short-term
interest rates rise, its yield will tend to lag behind  prevailing  money market
rates. The fund's investments in money market instruments of foreign issuers may
present  greater risk than  investments in the money market  instruments of U.S.
issuers.

More  information  about these and other risks of an  investment  in the fund is
provided  below in "More  About  Risks  and  Investment  Strategies"  under  the
following headings:

o     Credit Risk

o     Interest Rate Risk

o     Foreign Securities Risk

INFORMATION  ON  THE  FUND'S  RECENT  HOLDINGS  CAN  BE  FOUND  IN  ITS  CURRENT
ANNUAL/SEMI-ANNUAL  REPORTS (SEE BACK COVER FOR  INFORMATION  ON ORDERING  THOSE
REPORTS).

EXAMPLE

This  example  is  intended  to  help  you  compare  the  cost of  investing  in
the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

This example  assumes  that you invest  $10,000 in the fund for the time periods
indicated  and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those  periods.  The
example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the
fund's  operating  expenses  remain the same.  Although your actual costs may be
higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

            1 YEAR          3 YEARS        5 YEARS       10 YEARS

MORE ABOUT RISKS AND INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
- ------------------------------------------


PRINCIPAL RISKS

The main risks of  investing  in the fund are  described  below.  Other risks of
investing  in the  fund,  along  with  further  detail  about  some of the risks
described below, are discussed in the fund's Statement of Additional Information
("SAI").  Information on how you can obtain the SAI is on the back cover of this
prospectus.

CREDIT  RISK.  Credit  risk is the  risk  that  the  issuer  of a  money  market
instrument will not make principal or interest  payments when they are due. Even
if an issuer does not default on a payment,  a money market  instrument's  value
may decline if the market believes that the issuer has become less able, or less
willing,  to make  payments  on time.  Even the  highest  quality  money  market
instruments are subject to some credit risk. If a ratings agency  downgrades the
rating of a money market  instrument or the  instrument  otherwise is considered
subject  to  greater  credit  risk,  the fund may have  difficulty  selling  the
instrument at the time and price the fund desires.

INTEREST  RATE RISK.  The value of money  market  instruments  generally  can be
expected to fall when interest  rates rise and to rise when interest rates fall.
Interest rate risk is the risk that interest  rates will rise, so that the value
of the fund's  investments  will fall. In addition,  changes in the fund's yield
will tend to lag behind changes in prevailing  short-term  interest rates.  This
means  that when  interest  rates are  rising,  the fund's  income  will tend to
increase more slowly than money market interest rates. Similarly,  when interest
rates are falling, the fund's income generally will tend to fall more slowly.

FOREIGN SECURITIES RISK.  Foreign securities involve risks that normally are not
associated  with  securities of U.S.  issuers.  These include risks  relating to
political,  social and economic developments abroad and differences between U.S.
and foreign regulatory requirements and market practices.


ADDITIONAL RISKS

YEAR 2000 RISK. The fund could be adversely affected by problems relating to the
inability  of computer  systems  used by Mitchell  Hutchins and the fund's other
service providers to recognize the year 2000. While year  2000-related  computer
problems could have a negative effect on the fund,  Mitchell Hutchins is working
to avoid these  problems with respect to its own computer  systems and to obtain
assurances from other service providers that they are taking similar steps.

Similarly, the issuers whose money market instruments are bought by the fund and
the trading systems used by the fund could be adversely  affected by this issue.
The ability of an issuer or trading system to respond  successfully to the issue
requires both technological  sophistication  and diligence,  and there can be no
assurance  that any steps taken will be sufficient to avoid an adverse impact on
the fund.

ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Like all money  market  funds,  the fund is subject  to  maturity,  quality  and
diversification  requirements  designed  to help it  maintain a stable  price of
$1.00  per  share  In  addition,  Mitchell  Hutchins  may  employ  a  number  of
professional  money  management  techniques to respond to changing  economic and
money  market  conditions  and to shifts in fiscal and  monetary  policy.  These
techniques  include varying the composition and the weighted average maturity of
the portfolio  based upon its assessment of the relative values of various money
market instruments and future interest rate patterns. Mitchell Hutchins also may
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 markets.

YOUR INVESTMENT

MANAGING YOUR FUND ACCOUNT
- --------------------------

BUYING SHARES
- -------------

You must be a PaineWebber client or a client of a PaineWebber correspondent firm
to  purchase  fund  shares.  You can  purchase  fund shares by  contacting  your
Financial Advisor.

Your order to purchase  fund shares will be  effective  on the  business  day on
which  federal  funds  become  available  to the fund.  Federal  funds are funds
deposited by a commercial  bank in an account at a Federal Reserve Bank that can
be transferred  to a similar  account of another bank in one day and thus can be
made  immediately  available  to the fund.  A  business  day is any day that the
Boston  offices  of the  fund's  custodian  and the New  York  City  offices  of
PaineWebber and its bank, The Bank of New York, are open for business.

The fund and PaineWebber reserve the right to reject a purchase order or suspend
the offering of fund shares.

BUYING SHARES AUTOMATICALLY

All free cash credit balances (that is, immediately  available funds) of $500 or
more in your PaineWebber  brokerage account (including  proceeds from securities
you have sold) are  automatically  invested in the fund on a daily basis.  These
purchases  are made daily for  settlement  the next  business day. All remaining
free credit cash  balances of $1 or more are invested in fund shares on the next
to last  business day of each month for  settlement  on the last business day of
that month.

BUYING SHARES BY CHECK

You may purchase fund shares by placing an order with your PaineWebber Financial
Advisor  and  providing  a check from a U.S.  bank.  You should  make your check
payable to  PaineWebber  Cashfund,  Inc.  and should  include  your  PaineWebber
account number on the check.

Federal  funds are  deemed  available  to the fund two  business  days after the
deposit of a personal check and one business day after deposit of a cashier's or
certified check.  PaineWebber may benefit from the temporary use of the proceeds
of  personal  checks if they are  converted  to  federal  funds in less than two
business days.

BUYING SHARES BY WIRE

You may purchase fund shares by placing an order through your Financial  Advisor
and instructing your bank to transfer federal funds by wire to:

      The Bank of New York
      ABA 021-000018
      PaineWebber Cashfund, Inc.
      A/C 890-0114-061, OBI=FBO)
      [Account Name]/[Brokerage Account Number.]

The wire must include your name and PaineWebber account number.

If  PaineWebber  receives a notice  from your bank of wire  transfer  of federal
funds for a purchase of fund shares by 2:00 p.m., Eastern time, PaineWebber will
execute the purchase on that day. Otherwise,  PaineWebber will execute the order
on the next  business  day.  PaineWebber  and/or  your bank may impose a service
charge for wire purchases.

MINIMUM INVESTMENTS:

  To open an account ................................... $1,000
  To add to an account ................................. $  500

The  minimum to add to an account is waived for  automatic  purchases  made with
free cash credit balances in your PaineWebber  brokerage  account,  as described
above.

The fund may change its minimum investment requirements at any time.

<PAGE>

SELLING SHARES

You can sell  your  fund  shares  at any  time.  You may  sell  your  shares  by
contacting  your  Financial  Advisor in person or by telephone or mail.  You may
also sell your  shares by wire or check.  Your fund shares will also be redeemed
automatically to settle any outstanding  securities  purchases or debits to your
PaineWebber  brokerage  account,  unless you  instruct  your  Financial  Advisor
otherwise.

SELLING BY TELEPHONE OR MAIL OR IN PERSON

You may submit  redemption  requests in person or by  telephone  or mail to your
PaineWebber  Financial  Advisor.  Your  proceeds  will be mailed to you by check
unless you choose a wire transfer as described below.  PaineWebber may charge an
administrative service fee of up to $5.00 for processing sales orders by check.



                                       7A
<PAGE>


If you  send an  order  to sell  your  shares  by  mail  to  PaineWebber  or its
correspondent firms, your request must include:

o     Your name and address;

o     The fund's name;

o     Your account number;

o     The dollar amount or number of shares you want to sell; and

o  A guarantee of each registered owner's signature.  A signature  guarantee may
   be obtained from a financial  institution,  broker, dealer or clearing agency
   that is a  participant  in one of the  medallion  programs  recognized by the
   Securities Transfer Agents Association. These are: Securities Transfer Agents
   Medallion Program (STAMP),  Stock Exchanges  Medallion Program (SEMP) and the
   New York Stock Exchange  Medallion  Signature Program (MSP). The fund and its
   transfer agent will not accept  signature  guarantees  that are not a part of
   these programs.

Sales by mail may also need to include additional supporting documents for sales
by   estates,   trusts,   guardianships,    custodianships,   partnerships   and
corporations.

SELLING BY WIRE

If you sell $5,000 or more of your fund  shares,  you may request that the sales
proceeds be paid in federal funds and wired  directly to a  pre-designated  bank
account.  To take advantage of this service,  you must complete an authorization
form  that  can  be  obtained  from  your  PaineWebber   Financial  Advisor.  If
PaineWebber's New York City offices receive your wire sales order prior to 12:00
noon,  Eastern time,  on any business  day, the sales  proceeds will be wired to
your bank account on that day.  Otherwise,  your sales proceeds will be wired to
your bank account on the next  business  day.  PaineWebber  may impose a fee for
wiring sales proceeds and may sell  automatically an appropriate  number of fund
shares to pay that fee.

SELLING BY CHECK

You may sell  $500 or more of your  shares  by using a check  drawn on your fund
account (minimum $500). You may obtain a supply of checks from PaineWebber. When
the fund's  transfer  agent  receives the check for payment,  the transfer agent
will  arrange  for the sale of a  sufficient  amount of Fund shares to cover the
amount of the check.  You will continue to receive  dividends until the transfer
agent receives the check.

You will  not  receive  canceled  checks,  but you may  request  photocopies  of
canceled checks. If you have insufficient funds in your account,  the check will
be returned to the payee.  Checks written in amounts less than $500 will also be
returned.  You  should not  attempt to redeem all the shares in your  account by
writing a check  because  the amount of the fund shares is likely to change each
day.

PaineWebber may impose charges for specially imprinted checks,  business checks,
stop payment orders, copies of canceled checks, checks returned for insufficient
funds, and checks written for less than $500. You will pay these charges through
automatic  redemption of an appropriate number of your fund shares.  PaineWebber
may modify or terminate the  checkwriting  service at any time or impose service
fees for checkwriting.

You may  obtain  the  necessary  forms for the  checkwriting  service  from your
Financial  Advisor.  This service  generally is not available to persons who own
fund shares through any sub-account or tax-deferred retirement plan account.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

It costs the fund money to maintain shareholder  accounts.  Therefore,  the fund
reserves the right to repurchase  all shares in any account that has a net asset
value of less than $500.  If the fund  elects to do this with your  account,  it
will notify you that you can increase the amount invested to $500 or more within
60 days. This notice may appear on your account statement.

If you want to sell  shares  that you  purchased  recently,  the fund may  delay
payment until it verifies  that it has received  good payment.  If you purchased
shares by check, this can take up to 15 days.

PRICING AND VALUATION
- ---------------------

The price of fund shares is based on net asset value. The net asset value is the
total  value of the fund  divided by the total  number  shares  outstanding.  In
determining  net asset value,  the fund values its securities at their amortized
cost.  This method uses a constant  amortization  to maturity of the  difference
between the cost of the  instrument  to the fund and the amount due at maturity.
The fund's net asset value per share is expected to be $1.00 per share, although
this value is not guaranteed.

The fund calculates net asset value once each business day at 2:00 p.m., Eastern
time.  Your price for buying or selling  shares will be the net asset value that
is next calculated after the fund accepts your order.  Your Financial Advisor is
responsible for making sure that your order is promptly sent to the fund.

                      THE FUND AND ITS INVESTMENT POLICIES

      The fund's  investment  objective may not be changed  without  shareholder
approval.  Except where noted, the other investment  policies of the fund may be
changed by its board without shareholder  approval.  As with other mutual funds,
there is no assurance that the fund will achieve its investment objective.

      The fund's investment objective is to provide current income, stability of
principal  and high  liquidity.  The fund invests in high  quality  money market
instruments that have, or are deemed to have,  remaining maturities of 13 months
or  less.  These  instruments  include  (1)  U.S.  government  securities,   (2)
obligations of U.S. and foreign banks, (3) commercial paper and other short-term
obligations of U.S. and foreign  companies,  governments  and similar  entities,
including variable and floating rate securities and participation  interests and
(4)  repurchase  agreements  regarding any of the  foregoing.  The fund also may
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  maintains  a  dollar-weighted  average
portfolio maturity of 90 days or less.

      The fund may invest in  obligations  (including  certificates  of deposit,
bankers' acceptances, time deposits and similar obligations) of U.S. and foreign
banks having total assets at the time of purchase in excess of $1.5 billion. The
fund  may  invest  in  non-negotiable  time  deposits  of  U.S.  banks,  savings
associations  and similar  depository  institutions  only if the institution has
total  assets at the time of  purchase  in excess of $1.5  billion  and the time
deposits have a maturity of seven days or less.

      The fund may  purchase  only  those  obligations  that  Mitchell  Hutchins
determines,  pursuant to procedures adopted by the board, present minimal credit
risks  and are  "First  Tier  Securities"  as  defined  in Rule  2a-7  under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended  ("Investment  Company Act"). A First
Tier Security is either (1) rated in the highest  short-term  rating category by
at  least  two  nationally  recognized   statistical  rating  agencies  ("rating
agencies"),  (2) rated in the  highest  short-term  rating  category by a single
rating  agency  if only  that  rating  agency  has  assigned  the  obligation  a
short-term  rating,  (3) issued by an issuer that has received such a short-term
rating with respect to a security  that is  comparable in priority and security,
(4) subject to a guarantee  rated in the highest  short-term  rating category or
issued by a guarantor  that has  received  the highest  short-term  rating for a
comparable debt obligation or (5) unrated,  but determined by Mitchell  Hutchins
to be of comparable quality.

      The fund  generally  may invest no more than 5% of its total assets in the
securities of a single issuer (other than U.S. government securities).  The fund
may purchase only U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of foreign issuers.

      The fund may  invest up to 10% of its net assets in  illiquid  securities.
The fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. The
fund  may  lend  its  portfolio   securities  to  qualified   broker-dealers  or
institutional investors in an amount up to 33-1/3% of its total assets. The fund
may  borrow up to 10% of its total  assets  for  temporary  purposes,  including
reverse repurchase  agreements  involving up to 5% of its total assets. The fund
may invest in the securities of other investment companies.

              THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS, RELATED RISKS AND LIMITATIONS

      The following  supplements the information contained in the Prospectus and
above concerning the fund's investments,  related risks and limitations.  Except
as  otherwise  indicated  in the  Prospectus  or  the  Statement  of  Additional
Information,  the fund has  established no policy  limitations on its ability to
use the investments or techniques discussed in these documents.

      YIELDS  AND  CREDIT  RATINGS  OF  MONEY  MARKET  INSTRUMENTS;  FIRST  TIER
SECURITIES. The yields on the money market instruments in which the fund invests
(such as U.S. government securities,  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  assigned by rating agencies  represent their
opinions as to the quality of the obligations  they undertake to rate.  Ratings,

                                       2
<PAGE>


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.  If a security in the fund's portfolio ceases to be a
First Tier Security (as defined above) or Mitchell Hutchins becomes aware that a
security  has received a rating  below the second  highest  rating by any rating
agency, Mitchell Hutchins and, in certain cases, the fund's board, will consider
whether the fund should continue to hold the  obligation.  A First Tier Security
rated  in  the  highest  short-term  category  at  the  time  of  purchase  that
subsequently  receives  a  rating  below  the  highest  rating  category  from a
different rating agency may continue to be considered a First Tier Security.

      U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES include direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury
(such as Treasury bills, notes or bonds) and obligations issued or guaranteed as
to principal and interest  (but not as to market value) by the U.S.  government,
its  agencies  or its  instrumentalities.  U.S.  government  securities  include
mortgage-backed  securities  issued or  guaranteed  by  government  agencies  or
government-sponsored enterprises. Other U.S. government securities may be backed
by the full faith and credit of the U.S.  government  or supported  primarily or
solely by the creditworthiness of the government-related  issuer or, in the case
of mortgage-backed securities, by pools of assets.

      U.S.  government  securities also include  separately traded principal and
interest  components  of securities  issued or guaranteed by the U.S.  Treasury,
which are traded independently under the Separate Trading of Registered Interest
and Principal of Securities ("STRIPS") program.  Under the STRIPS programs,  the
principal  and interest  components  are  individually  numbered and  separately
issued by the U.S. Treasury.

      ASSET-BACKED  SECURITIES.  The  fund may  invest  in  securities  that are
comprised  of  financial  assets.  Such  assets  may  include  a  motor  vehicle
installment  sales contracts,  other  installment  sales contracts,  home equity
loans,  leases of various  types of real and personal  property and  receivables
from  revolving  credit  (credit  card)  agreements  or other types of financial
assets. Such assets are securitized  through the use of trusts,  special purpose
corporations or other  entities.  Payments or  distributions  of  principal  and
interest may be guaranteed up to a certain  amount and for a certain time period
by a letter of credit or pool insurance policy issued by a financial institution
unaffiliated  with the  issuer,  or other  credit  enhancements  may be present.
Changes  in  the  credit  quality  of   institutions   providing   these  credit
enhancements could cause losses to the fund and affect its share price.

      VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES AND DEMAND INSTRUMENTS. 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.  In addition,  the fund may purchase variable
and floating  rate  securities  of other  issuers with  remaining  maturities in
excess  of  13  months  if  the  securities  are  subject  to a  demand  feature
exercisable  within 13  months  or less.  The  yields  on these  securities  are
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 Securities
and  Exchange  Commission  ("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 a specified
issuer, usually the issuer or a remarketing agent, prior to maturity. The demand
feature  may  be  backed  by  letters  of  credit  or  other  liquidity  support
arrangements  provided by banks or other  financial  institutions  whose  credit
standing  affects the credit quality of the  obligations.  Changes in the credit
quality  of these  institutions  could  cause  losses to the fund and affect its
share price.

      Generally,  the fund may exercise demand features (1) upon a default under
the  terms  of  the  underlying  security,  (2) to  maintain  its  portfolio  in
accordance  with its  investment  objective and policies or applicable  legal or
regulatory  requirements  or (3) as needed to provide  liquidity  to the fund in
order to meet  redemption  requests.  The  ability of a bank or other  financial
institution to fulfill its  obligations  under a letter of credit,  guarantee or
other liquidity arrangement might be affected by possible financial difficulties
of its  borrowers,  adverse  interest  rate or economic  conditions,  regulatory
limitations  or other  factors.  The interest  rate on floating rate or variable
rate  securities  ordinarily is readjusted on the basis of the prime rate of the
bank that  originated the financing or some other index or published  rate, such
as the 90-day U.S.  Treasury bill rate, or is otherwise  reset to reflect market
rates of interest. Generally, these interest rate adjustments cause the market


                                       3
<PAGE>

value of floating rate and variable rate  securities to fluctuate  less than the
market value of fixed rate securities.

      VARIABLE  AMOUNT  MASTER  DEMAND  NOTES.  The fund may invest in  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 fund and an issuer.  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 may or may not be rated.

      COMMERCIAL PAPER AND OTHER SHORT-TERM  OBLIGATIONS.  The fund may purchase
commercial paper, which includes short-term  obligations issued by corporations,
partnerships,  trusts or other entities to finance  short-term credit needs. The
fund also may purchase  non-convertible  debt  obligations with no more than 397
days  remaining  to  maturity  at the time of  purchase.  The fund may invest in
funding  agreements  and  guaranteed  investment  contracts  issued by insurance
companies  which  are  obligations  of the  insurance  company  or its  separate
account.  Funding  agreements  permit the investment of varying  amounts under a
direct agreement  between the fund and an insurance company and provide that the
principal  amount  may be  increased  from time to time  (subject  to  specified
maximums) by agreement  of the parties or  decreased by either  party.  The fund
expects to invest  primarily in funding  agreements  and  guaranteed  investment
contracts  with floating or variable  rates that are subject to demand  features
that permit the fund to tender its  interest  back to the issuer.  To the extent
the fund invests in funding agreements and guaranteed  investment contracts that
either do not have demand features or have demand features that may be exercised
more than seven days after the date of acquisition,  these  investments  will be
subject to the fund's limitation on investments in illiquid securities. See "The
Fund's Investments, Related Risks and Limitations -- Illiquid Securities."

      INVESTING  IN  FOREIGN   SECURITIES.   The  fund's   investments  in  U.S.
dollar-denominated  securities  of foreign  issuers may  involve  risks that are
different  from  investments  in U.S.  issuers.  These risks may include  future
unfavorable  political and economic  developments,  possible  withholding taxes,
seizure of foreign deposits,  currency controls,  interest  limitations or other
governmental restrictions that might affect the payment of principal or interest
on the fund's  investments.  Additionally,  there may be less publicly available
information  about foreign  issuers  because they may not be subject to the same
regulatory requirements as domestic issuers.

      ILLIQUID  SECURITIES.  The term "illiquid  securities" for purposes of the
Prospectus and Statement of Additional  Information 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
are liquid  pursuant to guidelines  established by the board.  To the extent the
fund  invests in illiquid  securities,  it may not be able  readily to liquidate
such  investments  and may have to sell other  investments if necessary to raise
cash to meet its obligations.

      Restricted securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended  ("Securities  Act") and may be sold only in privately  negotiated or
other  exempted  transactions  or  after  a  registration  statement  under  the
Securities Act has become effective.  Where  registration is required,  the fund
may be  obligated  to pay  all  or  part  of  the  registration  expenses  and a
considerable  period may elapse between the time of the decision to sell and the
time  the  fund  may  be  permitted  to  sell  a  security  under  an  effective
registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were
to develop,  the fund might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it
decided to sell.

      However, not all restricted securities are illiquid. A large institutional
market  has  developed  for  many  U.S.  and  foreign  securities  that  are not
registered under the Securities Act. 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.


                                       4
<PAGE>

      Institutional  markets for restricted  securities also have developed as a
result of Rule 144A,  which  establishes a "safe  harbor" from the  registration
requirements  of the  Securities  Act  for  resales  of  certain  securities  to
qualified  institutional  buyers. Such markets include automated systems for the
trading,  clearance and  settlement of  unregistered  securities of domestic and
foreign issuers, such as the PORTAL System sponsored by the National Association
of Securities Dealers,  Inc. 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 board 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,  which may include (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 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 bids 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.

      REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Repurchase agreements are transactions in which the
fund purchases  securities or other obligations from a bank or securities dealer
(or its affiliate) and simultaneously commits to resell them to the counterparty
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  obligations.
Securities  or other  obligations  subject  to  repurchase  agreements  may have
maturities in excess of 13 months.  The fund maintains custody of the underlying
obligations prior to their  repurchase,  either through its regular custodian or
through a special "tri-party" custodian or sub-custodian that maintains separate
accounts for both the fund and its  counterparty.  Thus,  the  obligation of the
counterparty  to pay the  repurchase  price on the date agreed to or upon demand
is, in effect, secured by such obligations.  Repurchase agreements carry certain
risks not associated with direct investments in securities, including a possible
decline  in the  market  value of the  underlying  obligations.  If their  value
becomes less than the repurchase price, plus any agreed-upon  additional amount,
the  counterparty  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  obligations  and the  price  that was paid by the fund  upon
acquisition  is accrued as interest and included in its net  investment  income.
Repurchase   agreements   involving   obligations  other  than  U.S.  government
securities  (such as  commercial  paper and  corporate  bonds) may be subject to
special risks and may not have the benefit of certain  protections  in the event
of the counterparty's  insolvency. If the seller or guarantor becomes insolvent,
the fund may suffer  delays,  costs and possible  losses in connection  with the
disposition of collateral.  The fund intends to enter into repurchase agreements
only with  counterparties  in  transactions  believed  by  Mitchell  Hutchins to
present minimum credit risks in accordance  with  guidelines  established by the
board.

      REVERSE REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS.  Reverse repurchase agreements involve the
sale of securities  held by the fund subject to its agreement to repurchase  the
securities  at an  agreed-upon  date or upon demand and at a price  reflecting a
market rate of interest. Reverse repurchase agreements are subject to the fund's
limitation on borrowings  and may be entered into only with banks and securities
dealers.  While a reverse  repurchase  agreement is  outstanding,  the fund will
maintain, in a segregated account with its custodian, cash or liquid securities,
marked to market daily, in an amount at least equal to its obligations under the
reverse repurchase  agreement.  See "The Fund's  Investments,  Related Risks and
Limitations -- Segregated Accounts."

      Reverse  repurchase  agreements  involve  the risk  that the  buyer of the
securities  sold by the fund might be unable to deliver them when the fund seeks
to repurchase.  If the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase  agreement
files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, such buyer or trustee or receiver may
receive  an  extension  of time to  determine  whether to  enforce  that  fund's
obligation to repurchase the  securities,  and the fund's use of the proceeds of
the reverse  repurchase  agreement may  effectively  be restricted  pending such
decision.



                                       5
<PAGE>

      WHEN-ISSUED  AND  DELAYED  DELIVERY  SECURITIES.  The  fund  may  purchase
securities  on a  "when-issued"  basis or may  purchase or sell  securities  for
delayed  delivery,  I.E.,  for issuance or delivery to or by the fund later than
the normal  settlement date for such securities at a stated price and yield. The
fund generally  would not pay for such  securities or start earning  interest on
them until they are received. However, when the fund undertakes a when-issued or
delayed  delivery  obligation,  it  immediately  assumes the risks of ownership,
including  the risks of price  fluctuation.  Failure  of the issuer to deliver a
security  purchased by the fund on a when-issued  or delayed  delivery basis may
result in the  fund's  incurring  a loss or missing  an  opportunity  to make an
alternative investment.

      A  security  purchased  on a  when-issued  or  delayed  delivery  basis is
recorded as an asset on the commitment  date and is subject to changes in market
value,  generally  based upon  changes  in the level of  interest  rates.  Thus,
fluctuation  in the value of the security from the time of the  commitment  date
will  affect a fund's  net  asset  value.  When the  fund  commits  to  purchase
securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, its custodian  segregates
assets  to cover the  amount of the  commitment.  See "The  Fund's  Investments,
Related Risks and Limitations--Segregated Accounts." The fund may sell the right
to  acquire  the  security  prior to  delivery  if  Mitchell  Hutchins  deems it
advantageous to do so, which may result in a gain or loss to the fund.

      INVESTMENTS  IN  OTHER  INVESTMENT  COMPANIES.  The  fund  may  invest  in
securities  of other  money  market  funds,  subject to  Investment  Company Act
limitations,  which at present restrict these investments in the aggregate to no
more than 10% of the fund's total assets. The shares of other money market funds
are subject to the  management  fees and other  expenses of those funds.  At the
same time, the fund would  continue to pay its own management  fees and expenses
with  respect to all its  investments,  including  shares of other money  market
funds.  The fund may invest in the  securities  of other money market funds when
Mitchell  Hutchins believes that (1) the amounts to be invested are too small or
are  available  too late in the day to be  effectively  invested  in other money
market  instruments,  (2) shares of other money  market  funds  otherwise  would
provide a better return than direct investment in other money market instruments
or (3) such investments would enhance the fund's liquidity.

      LENDING  OF  PORTFOLIO  SECURITIES.  The  fund is  authorized  to lend 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 these securities.  The
borrower of the fund's portfolio securities must maintain acceptable  collateral
with the fund's  custodian in an amount,  marked to market daily, 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.  The fund may reinvest any cash  collateral  in money market
investments or other short-term liquid  investments.  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 of its loans at any
time.  The fund may pay fees in connection  with a loan and may pay the borrower
or  placing  broker  a  negotiated   portion  of  the  interest  earned  on  the
reinvestment  of  cash  held  as  collateral.  The  fund  will  receive  amounts
equivalent to any interest,  dividends 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, when regaining such
rights is considered to be in the fund's interest.

      Pursuant  to  procedures   adopted  by  the  board  governing  the  fund's
securities  lending  program,  PaineWebber has been retained to serve as lending
agent for the fund. The board also has authorized the payment of fees (including
fees calculated as a percentage of invested cash  collateral) to PaineWebber for
these services.  The board  periodically  reviews all portfolio  securities loan
transactions for which PaineWebber acted as lending agent.  PaineWebber also has
been approved as a borrower under the fund's securities lending program.

purchase of  securities on a when-issued  or delayed  delivery  basis or reverse
repurchase  agreements,  it  will  maintain  with  an  approved  custodian  in a

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF THE FUND

      FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS.  The following fundamental investment limitations
cannot be changed for the fund 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 of the fund  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,  later changes in percentage  resulting  from a change in values of
portfolio  securities  or  amount  of  total  assets  will not be  considered  a
violation of any of the following 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  securities  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  interpretations  apply  to,  but are not a part  of,  this
fundamental restriction:  (a) domestic and foreign banking will be considered to
be different  industries;  and (b)  asset-backed  securities  will be grouped in
industries based upon their underlying  assets and not treated as constituting a
single, separate industry.

      (3)...issue  senior securities or borrow money,  except as permitted under
the Investment Company 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.

      The  following  interpretation  applies  to,  but is not a part  of,  this
fundamental  restriction:  the  fund's  investments  in  master  notes,  funding
agreements and similar  instruments will not be considered to be 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


                                       7

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.

      NON-FUNDAMENTAL  LIMITATIONS.  The following  investment  restrictions are
non-fundamental  and may be changed by the vote of the board without shareholder
approval.

      The fund will not:

      (1)...purchase   securities  on  margin,   except  for  short-term  credit
necessary for clearance of portfolio  transactions  and except that the fund may
make  margin  deposits  in  connection  with its use of  financial  options  and
futures,  forward  and spot  currency  contracts,  swap  transactions  and other
financial contracts or derivative instruments.

      (2)...engage  in short sales of securities  or maintain a short  position,
except that the fund may (a) sell short "against the box" and (b) maintain short
positions in connection with its use of financial  options and futures,  forward
and spot currency contracts,  swap transactions and other financial contracts or
derivative instruments.

      (3)...purchase  securities of other  investment  companies,  except to the
extent  permitted by the Investment  Company Act and except that this limitation
does not apply to securities  received or acquired as dividends,  through offers
of  exchange,  or as a result of  reorganization,  consolidation,  or merger and
except  that the fund  will  not  purchase  securities  of  registered  open-end
investment  companies  or  registered  unit  investment  trusts in  reliance  on
Sections 12(d)(1)(F) or 12(d)(1)(G) of the Investment Company Act.

      (4)...purchase  portfolio  securities  while borrowings in excess of 5% of
its total assets are outstanding.

   persons"  of the fund as defined  in the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940 by
   virtue of their  positions  with Mitchell  Hutchins,  PaineWebber,  and/or PW
   Group.

      The fund pays each board member who is not an  "interested  person" of the
fund $1,000 annually and up to $150 for each board meeting and each meeting of a
board  committee.  Each chairman of the audit and contract review  committees of
individual  funds  within  the  PaineWebber  fund  complex  receives  additional
compensation,  aggregating $15,000 annually,  from the relevant funds. All board
members are reimbursed for any expenses  incurred in attending  meetings.  Board
members  and  officers  of the fund  own in the  aggregate  less  than 1% of the
outstanding  shares of any class of the fund.  Because  PaineWebber and Mitchell
Hutchins perform  substantially all the services  necessary for the operation of
the fund,  the fund requires no employees.  No officer,  director or employee of
Mitchell  Hutchins or PaineWebber  presently  receives any compensation from the
fund for acting as a board member or officer.

      Services provided by PaineWebber under the PaineWebber  Contract,  some of
which may be delegated to Mitchell  Hutchins,  as discussed  below,  include the
provision of a continuous investment program for the Fund and supervision of all
matters relating to the operation of the Fund.  Under the PaineWebber  Contract,
PaineWebber is also  obligated to distribute the Fund's shares on an agency,  or
"best  efforts,"  basis  under  which the Fund only  issues  such  shares as are
actually  sold.  Shares  of  the  Fund  are  offered  continuously.   Under  the
PaineWebber  Contract,  during the fiscal years ended March 31,  1999,  1998 and
1997,  the  Fund  paid (or  accrued)  to  PaineWebber  investment  advisory  and
administrative fees in the amount of $___________,  $19,457,916 and $19,013,158,
respectively.  During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, the Fund did not pay
fees to  PaineWebber  for its services as lending agent because the Fund did not
engage in any securities lending activities.

      Under the contract  with  PaineWebber  dated July 23, 1987  ("Sub-Advisory
Contract"),   Mitchell   Hutchins  is  responsible  for  the  actual  investment
management  of the  Fund's  assets,  including  the  responsibility  for  making
decisions and placing orders to buy, sell or hold particular  securities.  Under
the Sub-Advisory Contract,  PaineWebber (not the Fund) pays Mitchell Hutchins an
annual  fee,  computed  daily  and  paid  monthly,  according  to the  following
schedule:


                                                                          Annual

      Under a contract with PaineWebber dated May 24, 1988  ("Sub-Administration
Contract"), Mitchell Hutchins also serves as the Fund's sub-administrator. Under
the  Sub-Administration  Contract,  PaineWebber  (not the  Fund)  pays  Mitchell
Hutchins 20% of the fees received by PaineWebber under the PaineWebber Contract,
such amount to be paid monthly and reduced by any amount paid by  PaineWebber in
each  such  month  under  the  Sub-Advisory  Contract.  Under  the  Sub-Advisory
Contract,  during  the  fiscal  years  ended  March  31,  1999,  1998 and  1997,
PaineWebber  paid (or  accrued)  to  Mitchell  Hutchins  fees in the  amount  of
$1,734,233 and $1,715,007, respectively.

      Prior to August 1, 1997, PaineWebber provided certain services to the Fund
not otherwise  provided by the Fund's transfer  agent.  Pursuant to an agreement
relating to those services,  PaineWebber earned (or accrued)  $1,002,742 for the
period  April 1, 1997 to July 31,  1997;  $2,893,343  for the fiscal  year ended
March 31,  1997;  and  $2,762,836  for the  fiscal  year ended  March 31,  1996.
Effective August 1, 1997,  PFPC, the Fund's transfer agent,  (not the Fund) pays
PaineWebber for certain transfer agency related services that PFPC has delegated
to PaineWebber.

      Each of the advisory,  sub-advisory and sub-administration contracts noted
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
a loss resulting from willful misfeasance,  bad faith or gross negligence on the
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  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 advisory
and  sub-advisory  contracts may also be terminated by  PaineWebber  or Mitchell
Hutchins,  as the case may be,  on 90 days'  written  notice  to the  Fund.  The
sub-administration  contract may also be terminated  by Mitchell  Hutchins on 60
days'  written  notice  to the  Fund.  Each of the  advisory,  sub-advisory  and
sub-administration contracts terminates automatically upon its assignment.

      Under the terms of the PaineWebber  Contract,  the Fund bears all expenses
incurred in its  operation  that are not  specifically  assumed by  PaineWebber.
Expenses  borne by the  Fund  include  the  following:  (a) the cost  (including
brokerage  commissions,  if any) of securities  purchased or sold by the Fund or
any losses  incurred in connection  therewith;  (b) fees payable to and expenses
incurred  on behalf of the Fund by  PaineWebber;  (c) filing  fees and  expenses
relating  to the  registration  and  qualification  of the Fund's  shares  under
federal  or  state  securities  laws  and  maintaining  such  registrations  and
qualifications;  (d) fees and  salaries  payable  to the  Fund's  directors  and
officers who are not officers or employees of PaineWebber or interested  persons
(as defined in the 1940 Act) of any  investment  adviser or  underwriter  of the
Fund  ("Independent  Directors");  (e) taxes  (including any income or franchise
taxes) and governmental fees; (f) costs of any liability, uncollectible items of
deposit and other insurance or fidelity bonds; (g) any costs, expenses or losses
arising out of any  liability  of or claim for damage or other  relief  asserted
against the Fund for  violation of any law; (h) legal,  accounting  and auditing
agents and other agents; (j) costs of preparing share certificates; (k) expenses
of  setting  in  type  and  printing  prospectuses,   statements  of  additional
information  and  supplements  thereto for  existing  shareholders,  reports and

_________,  1999, sorted by category of investment objective,  of the investment
companies as to which Mitchell  Hutchins  serves as adviser or  sub-adviser.  An
investment company may fall into more than one of the categories below.

      PERSONAL  TRADING  POLICIES.  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 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.

                             PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

      The Sub-Advisory  Contract authorizes Mitchell Hutchins (with the approval
of the 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 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 or  Mitchell  Hutchins  with  research,  analysis,  advice and
similar  services.  Although  Mitchell  Hutchins may receive certain research or
execution services in connection with these  transactions,  Mitchell Hutchins on
behalf  of the  fund  will not  purchase  securities  at a higher  price or sell
securities  at a lower price than would  otherwise be paid had no services  been
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 that could
be purchased for hard dollars.  Research services  furnished by the dealers with
which the fund effects securities  transactions may be used by Mitchell Hutchins
in  advising  other  funds or  accounts  it advises  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.
Information  and research  received from dealers will be in addition to, and not
in lieu of, the services required to be performed by Mitchell Hutchins under the
Sub-Advisory Contract.

      During  the last  [three]  fiscal  years,  the fund  paid  [no]  brokerage
commissions.

      Mitchell  Hutchins may engage in agency  transactions in  over-the-counter
debt   securities  in  return  for  research  and  execution   services.   These



                                       17
<PAGE>

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 a requirement  that Mitchell
Hutchins obtain multiple quotes from dealers before  executing the  transactions
on an agency basis.

      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.

      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 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, 1999,  the fund owned  securities  issued by the following
companies which are regular broker-dealers for the fund:

                       ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION
                       INFORMATION; SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS

      ADDITIONAL  PURCHASE  AND  REDEMPTION  INFORMATION.  The fund may  suspend
redemption privileges or postpone the date of payment during any period (1) when
the New York Stock  Exchange is closed or trading on the New York Stock Exchange
is restricted as determined by the SEC, (2) when an emergency exists, as defined
by the SEC, that makes it not reasonably  practicable for the fund to dispose of
securities  owned by it or fairly to determine the 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.

      SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS.  The fund may authorize service organizations,  and
their agents, to accept on its behalf purchase and redemption orders that are in
"good  form."  The fund will be  deemed  to have  received  these  purchase  and
redemption  orders when a service  organization  or its agent accepts them. Like
all customer  orders,  these orders will be priced based on the fund's net asset
value next computed after receipt of the order by the service  organizations  or
their  agents.   Service  organizations  may  include  retirement  plan  service
providers  who  aggregate  purchase and  redemption  instructions  received from
numerous retirement plans or plan participants.

                               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, President's


                                       18
<PAGE>

Day,  Good Friday,  Memorial Day,  Independence  Day,  Labor Day,  Columbus Day,
Veteran's 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 ("Rule") under the Investment  Company
Act. To use  amortized  cost to value its  portfolio  securities,  the fund must
adhere to certain conditions under the Rule relating to its investments, some of
which are discussed in this Statement of Additional Information.  Amortized cost
is an  approximation  of market value of an  instrument,  whereby the difference
between  its  acquisition   cost  and  value  at  maturity  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.  If 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 desirable.

      The board 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. If that deviation  exceeds
1/2 of 1% for the fund,  the board 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 will not  purchase  any  instrument
having,  or deemed to have,  a remaining  maturity  of more than 397 days,  will
limit portfolio  investments,  including  repurchase  agreements,  to those U.S.
dollar-denominated  instruments that are of high quality under the Rule and that
Mitchell Hutchins, acting pursuant to the procedures, determines present minimal
credit  risks,  and  will  comply  with  certain   reporting  and  recordkeeping
procedures.  There is no assurance  that constant net asset value per share will
be maintained.  If amortized cost ceases to represent fair value per share,  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.

                             PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

      The fund's  performance  data quoted in advertising and other  promotional
materials ("Performance  Advertisements") represent past performance and are not
intended to indicate future performance. The investment return will fluctuate.

      TOTAL  RETURN   CALCULATIONS.   Average   annual   total   return   quotes
("Standardized  Return")  used  in the  fund's  Performance  Advertisements  are
calculated according to the following formula:

      P(1 + T)n  =  ERV
    where:    P  =  a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000 to purchase shares
                    of a specified class
              T  =  average  annual total return of shares of that class
              n  =  number of years
            ERV  =  ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment at
                    the beginning of that period.

      Under  the  foregoing  formula,  the  time  periods  used  in  Performance
Advertisements  will be based on rolling calendar quarters,  updated to the last
day of the most recent  quarter  prior to submission  of the  advertisement  for
publication.  Total return,  or "T" in the formula above, is computed by finding
the average annual change in the value of an initial $1,000  investment over the
period. All dividends are assumed to have been reinvested at net asset value.


                                       19
<PAGE>

      The fund  also may refer in  Performance  Advertisements  to total  return
performance  data that are not  calculated  according  to the  formula set forth
above ("Non-Standardized  Return"). The fund calculates  Non-Standardized Return
for specified periods of time by assuming an investment of $1,000 in fund shares
and assuming the reinvestment of all dividends distributions. The rate of return
is determined by subtracting the initial value of the investment from the ending
value and by dividing the remainder by the initial value.

      The following  tables show  performance  information for the fund's shares
outstanding for the periods indicated.  All returns for periods of more than one
year are expressed as an average annual return.

      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 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

      The fund may also advertise other  performance  data, which may consist of
the annual or cumulative return (including net short-term  capital gain, if any)
earned on a hypothetical investment in the fund since it began operations or for
shorter  periods.  This  return  data  may or may  not  assume  reinvestment  of
dividends (compounding).

      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, 1999 were _________________ and __________________, 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

Lehman Brothers  Treasury Bond Index,  the Lehman Brothers  Government/Corporate
Bond  Index,  the  Salomon  Brothers  Government  Bond Index and  changes in 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, IBC,  Wiesenberger  or ICD.  Performance  Advertisements  also may refer to
discussions of the fund and comparative mutual fund data and ratings reported in
independent  periodicals,  including 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.  Comparisons
in Performance Advertisements may be in graphic form.

      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 average of yields of CDs
of major banks published by Banxquotes(R) 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.  Bank  accounts are insured in whole or in part by an agency of
the U.S.  government  and may offer a fixed rate of return.  Fund shares are not
insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government and returns thereon 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.

      The fund may  include  discussions  or  illustrations  of the  effects  of
compounding  in  Performance  Advertisements.  "Compounding"  refers to the fact
that,  if  dividends  on the 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 make  available to  shareholders  a daily accrual  factor or "mil rate"
representing  dividends accrued to shareholder  accounts on a given day or days.
Certain  shareholders may find that this information  facilitates  accounting or
recordkeeping.

                                      TAXES

      BACKUP WITHHOLDING.  The fund is required to withhold 31% of all dividends
and redemption  proceeds payable to individuals and certain other  non-corporate
shareholders  who do not provide the fund or PaineWebber with a correct taxpayer
identification number.  Withholding at that rate also is required from dividends
payable to those shareholders who otherwise are subject to backup withholding.

      QUALIFICATION AS A REGULATED  INVESTMENT  COMPANY.  To continue to qualify
for treatment as a RIC 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  gains,  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 and gains from the sale or other  disposition  of
securities  and certain  other  income;  (2) 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,  securities of
other RICs and other securities that are 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 (3) 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 or the securities of other RICs) of any one issuer.
If the fund failed to qualify for treatment as a RIC for any taxable  year,  (a)


                                       21
<PAGE>

it would be taxed as an ordinary  corporation  on the full amount of its taxable
income for that year without being able to deduct the  distributions it makes to
its shareholders and (b) the shareholders would treat all those distributions as
dividends  (that is,  ordinary  income) to the extent of the fund's earnings and
profits. In addition,  the fund could be required to recognize unrealized gains,
pay substantial taxes and interest,  and make substantial  distributions  before
requalifying for RIC treatment.

                                OTHER INFORMATION

      VOTING RIGHTS.  Shareholders of the fund are entitled to one vote for each
full share held and fractional votes for fractional  shares held.  Voting rights
are not  cumulative  and,  as a result,  the holders of more than 50% of all the
shares of the fund may elect all its board members.

      The fund does not hold annual meetings. There normally will be no meetings
of shareholders to elect directors unless fewer than a majority of the directors
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.

                  None.

      Item 25.    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.

            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

<PAGE>

      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.
