              the 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

              restriction, the acquisition of bonds, debentures, other debt

              paper, certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances or similar
              instruments will not be considered the making of a loan.

              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.

              to this limitation, and except that the Fund may exercise rights
              under agreements relating to such securities, including the right

1. FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS.  At a special meeting of shareholders

scheduled for April 10, 1996 (the 'Special Meeting'), shareholders of
PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund ('Fund') will be asked to approve changes to
the Fund's fundamental investment restrictions. If approved, the following
investment restrictions will supersede and replace the restrictions listed in
the section in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information entitled
'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 limitation: 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.
 
          (3) issue senior securities or borrow money, except as permitted under
              the 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.

            swap transactions and other financial contracts or derivative
            instruments.
 
          o engage in short sales of securities or maintain a short position,
            except that the Fund may (a) sell short 'against the box' and (b)

            options and futures, forward and spot currency contracts, swap

            instruments.

            leases, except that investments in securities of issuers that invest
            in such programs or leases and investments in asset-backed
            securities supported by receivables generated from such programs or
            leases are not subject to this prohibition.
 
          o purchase securities of other investment companies, except to the
            extent permitted by the 1940 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.

              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

              investment companies.
 
              The following interpretation applies to, but is not a part of,

          (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

              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, and except that the
              Fund, under normal circumstances, will invest 25% or more of its
              total assets in the related group of industries consisting of the
              financial services industries.
 
          (3) issue senior securities or borrow money, except as permitted under
              the 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

              contracts or derivative instruments.

restrictions are approved by the Fund's shareholders, the Fund would become

Information.
 
     The following investment restrictions are not fundamental and may be
changed by the Fund's Board of Directors without shareholder approval.

            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.

1. FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS.  At a special meeting of shareholders
scheduled for April 10, 1996 (the 'Special Meeting'), shareholders of
PaineWebber Utility Income Fund ('Fund') will be asked to approve changes to the
Fund's fundamental investment restrictions. If approved, the following
investment restrictions will supersede and replace the restrictions listed in
the section in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information entitled
'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 securities
              will not be considered to have been issued by the same issuer by

              reason of the securities having the same sponsor, and mortgage-

              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

              Fund, under normal circumstances, will invest 25% or more of its
              total assets in the utility industries as a group. For this
              purpose, utility industries consist of companies primarily engaged
              in the ownership or operation of facilities used in the
              generation, transmission or distribution of electricity,

                            SUPPLEMENT TO PROSPECTUS
                            DATED NOVEMBER 10, 1995
 
                                                               March 1, 1996

 
Dear Investor,
 
     This is a supplement to the Prospectus of PaineWebber U.S. Government
Income Fund, PaineWebber Investment Grade Income Fund, and PaineWebber High
Income Fund, dated November 10, 1995. The purpose of the supplement is to revise
certain information contained in the Prospectus regarding PaineWebber High
Income Fund and PaineWebber Investment Grade Income Fund.
 
1. CHANGE IN INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE FOR HIGH INCOME FUND.  At a special meeting of
shareholders, scheduled for April 10, 1996, shareholders of PaineWebber High
Income Fund ('Fund') will be asked to approve a change in the Fund's investment
objective from 'to provide the highest level of current income available without
undue risk' to 'to provide high income.' This change, which was approved by the
Trust's Board of Trustees, is intended to simplify the Fund's investment
objective, making it more comparable to those of other mutual funds with similar
investment strategies. The proposed change to the Fund's investment objective
does not reflect any current or contemplated change in the investment policies
of the Fund.
 
2. CHANGES IN INVESTMENT POLICY FOR HIGH INCOME FUND.  Concurrently with its
proposed change in its investment objective, High Income Fund intends to change
its investment policy to reflect that High Income Fund may invest up to 25% of
its total assets in securities that are not currently providing income but that
have the potential for capital appreciation. This policy will reflect Mitchell
Hutchins' belief that High Income Fund should be able to take advantage of
opportunities for capital appreciation that become available in the market from
time to time. Mitchell Hutchins believes that the Fund can make limited
investments in non-income producing securities that present these opportunities
while still achieving its overall goal of providing high income to Shareholders.
This new policy will not be a part of the Fund's investment objective, but will
be designated a non-fundamental investment policy that may be changed by the
Fund's Board. The securities in which the Fund would be able to invest under
this policy include debt securities that are not currently paying income and
equity securities such as common stocks, warrants, rights and preferred stocks
that are not paying current income.

     Effective February 29, 1996, the Board approved the following additional
changes to High Income Fund's investment policies: (a) the percentage of the
Fund's net assets that may be invested in securities of foreign issuers has been
increased from 25% to 35%, but the percentage of the Fund's net assets that may
be invested in securities of foreign issuers that are denominated and traded in
currencies other than the U.S. dollar continues to be 10%; and (b) the Fund's
policy of limiting investments in securities of a single issuer to 5% of its
total assets is made applicable only to 75% of its assets (as required under the
Fund's fundamental investment restrictions), rather than to 100% of its assets.
 
3. CHANGE TO INVESTMENT POLICY FOR INVESTMENT GRADE INCOME FUND.  Effective
February 29, 1996, the Board approved an increase in the percentage of
Investment Grade Income Fund's total assets that may be invested in U.S. dollar
denominated securities of foreign issuers or foreign branches of U.S. banks that
are traded in the U.S. securities markets, or in U.S. dollar denominated
securities the value of which is linked to the value of foreign currencies, from
10% to 20%.

 
     If you have any questions regarding PaineWebber U.S. Government Income
Fund, PaineWebber Investment Grade Income Fund, or PaineWebber High Income Fund,
please call your Investment Executive at PaineWebber or one of its correspondent
firms.

CONTAINED IN THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
 
1. FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS.  At a special meeting of shareholders
scheduled for April 10, 1996 (the 'Special Meeting'), shareholders of
PaineWebber Balanced Fund ('Fund') will be asked to approve changes to the
Fund's fundamental investment restrictions. If approved, the following
investment restrictions will supersede and replace the restrictions listed in
the section in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information entitled
'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 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.
 
          (3) issue senior securities or borrow money, except as permitted under
              the 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.

              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: Each state (including the District
              of Columbia and Puerto Rico), territory and possession of the
              United States, each political subdivision, agency, instrumentality
              and authority thereof, and each multi-state agency of which a
              state is a member is a separate 'issuer.' When the assets and
              revenues of an agency, authority, instrumentality or other
              political subdivision are separate from the government creating
              the subdivision and the security is backed only by the assets and
              revenues of the sub-division, such subdivision would be deemed to
              be the sole issuer. Similarly, in the case of an Industrial
              Development Bond or Private Activity Bond, if that bond is backed
              only by the assets and revenues of the non-governmental user, then
              that non-governmental user would be deemed to be the sole issuer.
              However, if the creating government or another entity guarantees a
              security, then to the extent that the value of all securities
              issued or guaranteed by that government or entity and owned by the
              Fund exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets, the guarantee would
              be considered a separate security and would be treated as issued
              by that government or entity. This restriction does not limit the
              percentage of the Fund's assets that may be invested in Municipal
              Obligations insured by any given insurer.
 
          (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.
 
          (3) issue senior securities or borrow money, except as permitted under
              the 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.
<PAGE>
          (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.
 
     PaineWebber Municipal High Income Fund and PaineWebber New York Tax-Free
Income Fund each will not:
 
          (1) 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.
 
          (2) issue senior securities or borrow money, except as permitted under
              the 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.
 
          (3) 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.
 
          (4) 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.
 
          (5) 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.
 
          (6) 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.
 
2. NON-FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS.  If the foregoing fundamental
restrictions are approved by the Funds' shareholders, the Funds would become
subject to the non-fundamental investment restrictions listed below. These
non-fundamental restrictions would replace certain of the Funds' current
fundamental restrictions and would be in addition to the non-fundamental
policies and restrictions already described in the Statement of Additional
Information.

                   PAINEWEBBER NATIONAL TAX-FREE INCOME FUND
      SUPPLEMENT TO STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR CLASS Y SHARES
              DATED NOVEMBER 10, 1995, AS REVISED JANUARY 22, 1996
 
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SUPPLEMENTS AND SUPERSEDES ANY CONTRARY INFORMATION
CONTAINED IN THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
 
1. FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS.  At a special meeting of shareholders
scheduled for April 10, 1996 (the 'Special Meeting'), shareholders of
PaineWebber National Tax-Free Income Fund ('Fund') will be asked to approve
changes to the Fund's fundamental investment restrictions. If approved, the
following investment restrictions will supersede and replace the restrictions
listed in the section in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information entitled
'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: Each state (including the District
              of Columbia and Puerto Rico), territory and possession of the
              United States, each political subdivision, agency, instrumentality
              and authority thereof, and each multi-state agency of which a

              state is a member is a separate 'issuer.' When the assets and
              revenues of an agency, authority, instrumentality or other
              political subdivision are separate from the government creating
              the subdivision and the security is backed only by the assets and
              revenues of the sub-division, such subdivision would be deemed to
              be the sole issuer. Similarly, in the case of an Industrial
              Development Bond or Private Activity Bond, if that bond is backed
              only by the assets and revenues of the non-governmental user, then
              that non-governmental user would be deemed to be the sole issuer.
              However, if the creating government or another entity guarantees a
              security, then to the extent that the value of all securities
              issued or guaranteed by that government or entity and owned by the
              Fund exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets, the guarantee would
              be considered a separate security and would be treated as issued
              by that government or entity. This restriction does not limit the
              percentage of the Fund's assets that may be invested in Municipal
              Obligations insured by any given insurer.
 
          (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.
 
          (3) issue senior securities or borrow money, except as permitted under
              the 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
<PAGE>
              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.
 
2. NON-FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS.  If the foregoing fundamental
restrictions are approved by the Fund's shareholders, the Fund would become

non-fundamental restrictions would replace certain of the Fund's current
fundamental restrictions and would be in addition to the non-fundamental
policies and restrictions already described in the Statement of Additional

          o 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.
 
          o 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.
 
          o invest in oil, gas or mineral exploration or development programs or
            leases, except that investments in securities of issuers that invest
            in such programs or leases and investments in asset-backed
            securities supported by receivables generated from such programs or
            leases are not subject to this prohibition.
 
          o purchase securities of other investment companies, except to the
            extent permitted by the 1940 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.

CONTAINED IN THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
 
1. FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS.  At a special meeting of shareholders
scheduled for April 10, 1996 (the 'Special Meeting'), shareholders of
PaineWebber Small Cap Value Fund ('Fund') will be asked to approve changes to
the Fund's fundamental investment restrictions. If approved, the following
investment restrictions will supersede and replace the restrictions listed in
the section in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information entitled
'Investment Limitations':
 
     The Fund will not:
 
          (1) purchase securities of any one issuer if, as a result, more than

              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

              instrumentalities or to municipal securities.
 
          (3) issue senior securities or borrow money, except as permitted under
              the 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

              reason of such enforcement until that real estate can be
              liquidated in an orderly manner.

              of owning securities or other instruments, but the Fund may

1. FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS.  At a special meeting of shareholders
scheduled for April 10, 1996 (the 'Special Meeting'), shareholders of Money
Market Fund, Government Securities Fund, and Treasury Securities Fund (each, a
'Fund' and, collectively, the 'Funds'), will be asked to approve changes to the
Funds' fundamental investment restrictions. If approved, the following
investment restrictions will supersede and replace the restrictions listed in
the section in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information entitled
'Investment Restrictions':
 
     The Trust may not, on behalf of any Fund:
 
          (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

              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) issue senior securities or borrow money, except as permitted under
              the 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

              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.
 
2. NON-FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS.  If the foregoing fundamental
restrictions are approved by the Funds' shareholders, the Fund would become

non-fundamental restrictions would replace certain of the Funds' current
fundamental restrictions and would be designated as such in the Statement of
Additional Information as follows:

            in such programs or leases and investments in asset-backed
            securities supported by receivables generated from such programs or
            leases are not subject to this prohibition.
