PAINEWEBBER GROWTH & INCOME/GROWTH FUNDS

ANNUAL REPORT



October 20, 1998


Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to present you with the annual report for 
the PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund and the PaineWebber Growth Fund for 
the fiscal year ended August 31, 1998.

PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund
Fund Profile

Goal:
Current income and
Capital growth

Portfolio Manager:
Mark A. Tincher,
Mitchell Hutchins Asset
Management Inc.

Total Net Assets:
$1.24 billion as of
August 31, 1998

Dividend Payments:
Semiannually


GENERAL MARKET OVERVIEW
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Funds' fiscal year ended on a tumultuous note as investors reacted to 
global uncertainty by pulling money out of the U.S. stock markets. Concerns 
about exposure to over-leveraged hedge funds and emerging markets caused a 
sell-off in financial stocks as investors backed away from credit-quality and 
liquidity problems. Weakness in global markets also hurt economically 
sensitive companies in the United States as concern spread about a potential 
pullback of consumer spending. Larger-capitalization stocks held up better 
than mid- or small-caps, though some of the larger stocks were affected as 
well. As stocks became more volatile, investors shifted some of their assets 
into bonds, causing yields to fall and prices to rise.

PORTFOLIO REVIEWS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PAINEWEBBER GROWTH AND INCOME FUND


PERFORMANCE--

The Fund's total return consists of the net asset value change 
with dividends reinvested. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 1998, without 
deducting sales charges, Class A shares lost 3.51%, Class B shares lost 
4.28%, Class C shares lost 4.23% and Class Y shares lost 3.24%.

The Fund's total return may be lower for shareowners who purchased or 
redeemed shares during the period. After deducting the maximum applicable 
sales charges, Class A shares lost 7.85%, Class B shares lost 8.67% and Class 
C shares lost 5.11%. Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges. 

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS--

In August we took a number of defensive measures to help 
protect the Fund. We reduced the Fund's holdings of financial services stocks 
(17.7% as of August 31, 1998(1)) and consumer cyclicals (21.0%). Also, we 
raised cash reserves to dampen volatility in the Fund's portfolio.

Our models indicate that the stock market has gone from 12-15% overvalued 
during April to 3-4% UNDERVALUED in September. We see this as a hopeful sign, 
but before we recommit the Fund's reserves to new investments we want to see 
clearer evidence of a turnaround.

We hope to see support for the S&P 500 Index in a range around 975 (as of 
late October, it was trending upward to around 1050). Perhaps the worst of 
the third-quarter earnings disappointments is past, and we will see earnings 
expectations stabilize. The most recent infusion of liquidity from the 
Federal Reserve could help quell the misgivings of market participants.

OUTLOOK--

We expect to encounter more volatility over the next six months--emerging 
market and hedge fund pressures are unlikely to subside quickly. We intend to 
maintain a defensive posture, looking for stocks with lower-than-market 
valuations and little or no exposure to emerging markets or hedge funds.

Our models now point to attractive valuations in the technology sector. The 
downturn has battered technology harder than most sectors--some stocks have 
fallen 50% more than the broad market. We believe these companies are worth 
considerably more than their current market values, and we may add to the 
Fund's technology holdings now that the sector offers such bargains.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PAINEWEBBER GROWTH FUND

PERFORMANCE--The Fund's total return (the net asset value change with 
dividends reinvested) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1998, without 
deducting sales charges, was 3.37% for Class A shares, 2.55% for Class B 
shares, 2.59% for Class C shares and 3.61% for Class Y shares.

The Fund's total return may be lower for shareowners who purchased or 
redeemed shares during the period. After deducting the maximum applicable 
sales charges, Class A shares lost 1.27%, Class B shares lost 1.21% and Class 
C shares gained 1.83%. Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS--

Over the past year the three biggest impacts on the Fund came 
from:

1. Model discipline and stock selection--our commitment to maintaining 
   that combination in our management approach

2. Stock picks that made big performance contributions

3. Higher market cap profile of the Fund than in 
   the past

A proprietary growth model creates a universe from which we select 
stocks that have above-average growth potential. We generally focus our 
stock picks on the "best in class"--those companies that lead their 
industries and that can increase their earnings by at least 10% each year.
For the past fiscal year, we found most of our "best-in-class" picks 
among technology and consumer cyclical companies.

Our emphasis on technology stocks (21.9% of net assets as of August 31, 
1998(1)) helped the Fund's performance during the fiscal year. Dell Computer
Corp. (2.6%), which gained 140% for the fiscal year, made the biggest 
contribution. Other contributors were Cisco Systems Inc. (2.3%), the leading
networking and enterprise computing company, and Paychex (1.2%), which provides
payroll and other administrative services to small- and medium-size businesses.
During the year ended August 31, 1998, the Fund's technology weighting averaged
about 24%.

Consumer cyclical stocks made the second most important contribution during 
the fiscal year. These companies tend to thrive under the economic conditions 
the United States has been enjoying: high employment, low inflation and 
stable growth. Our consumer cyclical stock picks also focused on the 
"best in class."

Within consumer cyclicals we emphasized two sectors: media, 
entertainment and cable companies (17.2%), and specialty retailers as broadly 
defined (13.2%). Cable and media holdings included Liberty Media Group 
(1.2%), Time Warner (2.3%), Tele-Communications Inc. (1.3%) and Comcast Corp. 
(0.9%).

PAINEWEBBER GROWTH AND INCOME/GROWTH FUNDS                      ANNUAL REPORT



Technological changes are enabling these companies to provide more in-home 
entertainment more cost-effectively and to offer Internet access and 
telephony. Among specialty retailers we chose Staples Inc. (1.7%), the 
"superstar" office supply chain, and Home Depot Inc. (1.8%), which dominates 
the do-it-yourself home improvement market and is also a major supplier of 
building materials to contractors.

Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (2.8%)--the Fund's largest holding--has proven a 
successful investment in the pharmaceuticals sector. We bought Watson during 
its initial public offering when its market capitalization was less than $1 
billion. The company was generating healthy profits from small-market generic 
drugs by dominating selected niches. Watson has grown into a sizable 
proprietary and generic drugmaker with major distribution capabilities, and 
now has a market capitalization of almost $5 billion.

In the last semiannual report we described how we had increased the market 
capitalization profile of the Fund and how that increase had improved 
performance. The Fund's average market capitalization increased from about $2 
billion in March 1997 to more than $7 billion in early 1998. For the fiscal 
year ended August 31, 1998 the Fund's market cap averaged $10-12 billion.

OUTLOOK--

We believe that current economic conditions--slow growth, low inflation and 
low interest rates--will continue into the coming year. We do not expect to 
see stocks repeat their dynamic price gains of recent years, but instead look 
for slower, steadier growth.

We think the biggest winners will be those companies that gain investor 
confidence by providing sustainable earnings growth. Our focus will remain on 
companies that we believe can sustain earnings growth of at least 10% per 
year. We still believe that most such companies will appear in the technology 
and consumer cyclical sectors.

We are underweighted in economically sensitive and inflation-sensitive 
industries. For example, by the end of the fiscal year we had reduced the 
Fund's energy position to zero. We believe that global economic instability 
will make energy prices fluctuate unpredictably, and that energy companies' 
earnings will become unpredictable as a result.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  PaineWebber Growth & Income Fund ("Growth & Income Fund") and PaineWebber
Growth Fund ("Growth Fund") (collectively, the "Funds") are diversified series
of PaineWebber America Fund and PaineWebber Olympus Fund (the "Trusts"),
respectively. The two Trusts were organized under separate Declarations of Trust
and are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified open-end investment
companies.
 
  Currently, each Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares. Each
class represents interests in the same assets of the applicable Fund, and the
classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures,
ongoing service and distribution charges and certain transfer agency expenses.
In addition, Class B shares and all corresponding reinvested dividend shares
automatically convert to Class A shares approximately six years after issuance.
All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has
exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plan.
 
  The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires Fund management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies:
 
  VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS--Securities which are listed on stock exchanges are
valued at the last sale price on the day the securities are being valued or,
lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price. In cases where
securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued on
the exchange designated by Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell
Hutchins"), an asset management subsidiary of PaineWebber Incorporated
("PaineWebber") and investment adviser, administrator and distributor of the
Funds. Securities traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market and listed on
the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("Nasdaq") are valued at the last available sale
price, or last bid price available if no sale occurs, on Nasdaq prior to the
time of valuation. Where market quotations are readily available, debt
securities are valued thereon, provided such quotations adequately reflect the
fair value of the securities in the judgment of Mitchell Hutchins. When market
quotations are not readily available, securities are valued based upon
appraisals derived from information concerning those securities or similar
securities received from recognized dealers in those securities. All other
securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the
direction of, each Trust's board of trustees. The amortized cost method of
valuation is used to value short-term debt securities with sixty days or less
remaining to maturity, unless each Trust's board of trustees determines that
this does not represent fair value.
 
  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--Each Fund's custodian takes possession of the
collateral pledged for investments in repurchase agreements. The underlying
collateral is valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to ensure that the value,
including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the
event of default of the obligation to repurchase, each Fund has the right to
liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the
obligation. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy
by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the
collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. Each Fund occasionally
participates in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed
by Mitchell Hutchins.
 
                                       22
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME--Investment transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment
transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Interest income is
recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to
interest income and identified cost of investments.
 
  Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized
gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon
the relative net asset value of outstanding shares (or the value of
dividend-eligible shares, as appropriate) of each class at the beginning of the
day (after adjusting for current capital share activity of the respective
classes). Class specific expenses are charged directly to the applicable class
of shares.
 
  OPTION WRITING--When a Fund writes a call or a put option, an amount equal to
the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets
and Liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the
liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value
of the option written. If an option which the Fund has written either expires on
its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase
transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase
transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without
regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the
liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the
Fund has written is exercised, the Fund realizes a capital gain or loss
(long-term or short-term, depending on the holding period of the underlying
security) from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the
sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option which a
Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received
reduces the cost of the security which the Fund purchases upon exercise of the
option.
 
  DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS--Dividends and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions are
determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ
from generally accepted accounting principles. These "book/tax" differences are
either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these
differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the
capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary
differences do not require reclassification.
 
WRITTEN OPTION ACTIVITY
 
  Transactions in options written for the year ended August 31, 1998 were as

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR
 
  Each Trust's board of trustees has approved an Investment Advisory and
Administration Contract ("Advisory Contract") with Mitchell Hutchins, under
which Mitchell Hutchins serves as investment adviser and administrator of the
Funds. In accordance with the Advisory Contracts, Growth & Income Fund and
Growth Fund pay Mitchell Hutchins an investment advisory and administration fee,
which is accrued daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.70% and 0.75%,
respectively, of each Funds' average daily net assets. At August 31, 1998,
Growth & Income Fund and Growth Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $839,391 and
$238,250, respectively, in investment advisory and administration fees.
 
  For the year ended August 31, 1998, Growth & Income Fund and Growth Fund paid
$51,462 and $43,380, respectively, in brokerage commissions to PaineWebber for
transactions executed on behalf of the Funds.
 
DISTRIBUTION PLANS
 
  Mitchell Hutchins is the distributor of each Fund's shares and has appointed
PaineWebber as the exclusive dealer for the sale of those shares. Under separate
plans of service and/or distribution pertaining to Class A, Class B and Class C
shares, the Funds pay Mitchell Hutchins monthly service fees at the annual rate
of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class B and Class C
shares and monthly distribution fees at the annual rate of 0.75% of the average
daily net assets on Class B and Class C shares. At August 31, 1998, Growth &
Income Fund and Growth Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $634,575 and $141,584,
respectively, in service and distribution fees.
 
  Mitchell Hutchins also receives the proceeds of the initial sales charges paid
upon the purchase of Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charges
paid by shareholders upon certain redemptions of Class A, Class B and Class C
shares, Mitchell Hutchins has informed each Fund that for the year ended August
31, 1998, it earned $3,836,061 and $209,702 in sales charges for the Growth &
Income Fund and Growth Fund, respectively.
 
SECURITY LENDING
 
  Each Fund may lend securities up to 33 1/3% of its total assets to qualified
institutions. The loans are secured at all times by cash or U.S. government
securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities
loaned, plus accrued interest, determined on a daily basis and adjusted
accordingly. Each Fund will regain record ownership of loaned securities to
exercise certain beneficial rights, however, each Fund may bear the risk of
delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should
the borrower fail financially. Each Fund receives compensation, which is
included in interest income, for lending its securities from interest earned on
the cash or U.S. government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates
paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. Each
Fund's lending agent is PaineWebber, who received $57,530 and $82,147 for Growth
& Income Fund and Growth Fund, respectively, in compensation from the Funds in
that capacity for the year ended August 31, 1998. At August 31, 1998, Growth &

BANK LINE OF CREDIT
 
  Each Fund may participate with other funds managed by Mitchell Hutchins in a
$200 million committed credit facility ("Facility") to be utilized for temporary
financing until the settlement of sale or purchase of portfolio securities, the
repurchase or redemption of shares of each Fund at the request of the
shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. In connection therewith,
each Fund has agreed to pay a commitment fee, pro rata, based on the relative
asset size of the Funds in the Facility. Interest is charged to each Fund at
rates based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings. For
the year ended August 31, 1998, the Funds did not borrow under the Facility.
 
TRANSFER AGENCY SERVICE FEES
 
  PaineWebber provides transfer agency related services to the Funds pursuant to
a delegation of authority from PFPC, Inc., the Funds transfer agent, and is
compensated for these services by PFPC, Inc., not the Funds. For the year ended
August 31, 1998, PaineWebber received approximately 57% and 56% of the total
transfer agency service fees collected by PFPC, Inc. from Growth & Income Fund
and Growth Fund, respectively.

(1)  Total investment return is calculated assuming a $1,000 investment on the
     first day of each year reported, reinvestment of all dividends and
     distributions at net asset value on the payable dates and a sale at net
     asset value on the last day of each year reported. The figures do not
     include sales charges; results for each class would be lower if sales
     charges were included.
(2)  These ratios include non-recurring acquisition expenses of 0.04%.

     first day of each year reported, reinvestment of all dividends and
     distributions at net asset value on the payable dates and a sale at net
     asset value on the last day of each year reported. The figures do not
     include sales charges; results for each class would be lower if sales
     charges were included.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP,
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
PaineWebber Growth & Income Fund
PaineWebber Growth Fund
 
  We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolios of investments, of the PaineWebber Growth & Income Fund
and PaineWebber Growth Fund as of August 31, 1998, and the related statements of
operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for
each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for
each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights
based on our audits.
 
  We have conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned at August
31, 1998, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
PaineWebber Growth & Income Fund and PaineWebber Growth Fund at August 31, 1998,
and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in
their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their
financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

reflect the amount to be used by calendar year taxpayers on their federal income
tax returns, will be made in conjunction with Form 1099 DIV and will be mailed
in January 1999. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers with
respect to the tax consequences of their investment in each of the Funds.
