THE FUNDS AT A GLANCE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Funds offered by this Prospectus are not intended to provide a complete
investment program, but one or more of them may be appropriate as a component of
an investor's overall portfolio. Some common reasons to invest in these Funds
are to finance college educations, plan for retirement or diversify a portfolio.
When selling shares, investors should be aware that they may get more or less
for their shares than they originally paid for them. As with any mutual fund,
there is no assurance that the Funds will achieve their goals.
GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
GOAL: To increase the value of your investment by investing primarily in
dividend-paying equity securities believed to have potential for rapid earnings
growth.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: Current income and capital growth.
WHO SHOULD INVEST: Growth and Income Fund is designed for investors seeking
current income and capital growth through investment primarily in
dividend-paying equity securities of U.S. companies and foreign companies that
are traded in the United States. Growth and Income Fund invests primarily in
larger, more established companies believed to be undervalued and to have
potential for rapid earnings growth. In addition, Growth and Income Fund can
invest in high yield, high risk convertible bonds. These investments offer the
potential for greater returns, but also entail a substantial degree of
volatility and risk. Accordingly, Growth and Income Fund is designed for
investors who are able to bear the risks that come with investments in the
stocks and bonds of such companies.
SIZE: On October 31, 1998, the Fund had approximately $1.4 billion in net
assets.
MID CAP FUND
GOAL: To increase the value of your investment by investing primarily in common
stocks of medium-sized domestic companies and some foreign companies selected
primarily on the basis of earnings growth.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: Long-term capital appreciation.
WHO SHOULD INVEST: Mid Cap Fund is designed for investors who want long-term
capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing
primarily in common stocks of medium-sized domestic companies and foreign
companies that are traded in the United States. Equity securities of small- and
medium-sized companies offer investors the potential for greater returns than
larger companies but are typically more volatile. Accordingly, the Fund is
designed for investors seeking long-term growth who are able to bear the risks
that come with investments in the equity securities of such companies.
SIZE: On October 31, 1998, the Fund had over $180 million in assets.
SMALL CAP FUND
GOAL: To increase the value of your investment by investing primarily in equity
securities of small capitalization ("small cap") companies.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: Long-term capital appreciation.
WHO SHOULD INVEST: Small Cap Fund is designed for investors who are seeking
long-term capital appreciation through investments primarily in equity
securities of small cap U.S. companies and foreign companies that are traded in
the United States. Small Cap Fund seeks to invest in small cap companies
believed to be undervalued and to have strong earnings momentum. Several
statistical studies have been published indicating that the historical long-term
returns of small cap equity securities have been higher than those of large cap
equity securities. Equity securities of small cap companies generally exhibit
greater market volatility than is the case with equity securities of larger
companies, or equity securities in general. In addition, Small Cap Fund can
invest in high yield, high risk convertible bonds. These investments offer the
potential for greater returns, but also entail a substantial degree of
volatility and risk. Accordingly, Small Cap Fund is designed for investors who
are able to bear the risks and fluctuations associated with investment in
smaller companies.
SIZE: On October 31, 1998, the Fund had over $113 million in net assets.

GROWTH FUND
GOAL: To increase the value of your investment by investing primarily in equity
securities of companies believed to have substantial potential for capital
growth.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: Long-term capital appreciation.
SIZE: On October 31, 1998, the Fund had over $362 million in net assets.
WHO SHOULD INVEST: Growth Fund is designed for investors who want long-term
capital appreciation through investment primarily in growth-oriented equity
securities of U.S. companies and foreign companies that are traded in the United
States. Growth Fund invests primarily in large, medium and small companies
believed to have greater capital growth potential. In addition, Growth Fund can
invest in high yield, high risk bonds and convertible securities. These
investments offer the potential for greater returns, but also entail a
substantial degree of volatility and risk. Accordingly, Growth Fund is designed
for investors who are able to bear the risks that come with investments in the
stocks and bonds of such companies.
MANAGEMENT
Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins"), a wholly owned
asset management subsidiary of PaineWebber Incorporated ("PaineWebber"), is the
investment adviser and administrator of each Fund.
MINIMUM INVESTMENT
To open an account, investors need $1,000; to add to an account, investors need
only $100.
RISKS
EQUITY SECURITIES historically have shown greater growth potential than other
types of securities, but they have also shown greater volatility. Because each
Fund will invest primarily in equity securities, its price will rise and fall.
Each Fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign companies,
which may involve more risk than the securities of U.S. companies. Each Fund may
use derivatives, such as options and futures, which may involve special risks.
Investors may lose money by investing in a Fund; the investment is not
guaranteed.
GROWTH AND INCOME FUND, SMALL CAP FUND AND GROWTH FUND each may invest up to 10%
of its total assets in high yield, high risk convertible bonds, which are
considered predominantly speculative and may involve major risk exposure to
adverse conditions.
MID CAP FUND invests primarily in medium-sized companies, which may have higher
earnings growth rates than larger companies, offering the potential for greater
returns. However, the greater potential of these companies may entail greater
market volatility and risks of adverse financial developments.
SMALL CAP FUND invests primarily in small cap companies, which typically are
subject to a greater degree of change in earnings and business prospects than
are larger, more established companies. In addition, equity securities of small
cap companies may be less liquid and more volatile than those of larger
companies.
HOW TO PURCHASE SHARES OF THE FUNDS
Investors may select among these classes of shares:
CLASS A SHARES
The price is the net asset value plus the initial sales charge; the maximum
sales charge is 4.5% of the public offering price. Although investors pay an
initial sales charge when they buy Class A shares, the ongoing expenses for this
class are lower than the ongoing expenses of Class B and Class C shares.
CLASS B SHARES
The price is the net asset value. Investors do not pay an initial sales charge
when they buy Class B shares. As a result, 100% of their purchase is immediately
invested. However, Class B shares have higher ongoing expenses than Class A
shares. Depending upon how long they own the shares, investors may have to pay a
sales charge when they sell Class B shares. This is called a "contingent
deferred sales charge" and applies when investors sell their Class B shares
within six years after purchase. After six years, Class B shares convert to
Class A shares, which have lower ongoing expenses and no contingent deferred
sales charge.

CLASS C SHARES
The price is the net asset value. Investors do not pay an initial sales charge
when they buy Class C shares. As a result, 100% of their purchase is immediately
invested. However, Class C shares have higher ongoing expenses than Class A
shares. A contingent deferred sales charge of 1% is charged on shares sold
within one year of purchase. Class C shares never convert to any other class of
shares.
CLASS Y SHARES
Class Y shares are offered only to limited groups of investors. The price is the
net asset value. Investors do not pay an initial sales charge when they buy
Class Y shares. As a result, 100% of their purchase is immediately invested.
Investors also do not pay a contingent deferred sales charge when they sell
Class Y shares. Class Y shares have lower ongoing expenses than any other class
of shares.

- ------------------
CLASS A SHARES: Sales charge waivers and a reduced sales charge purchase plan
are available. Purchases of $1 million or more are not subject to an initial
sales charge. However, if a shareholder sells these shares within one year after
purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% of the offering price or the
net asset value of the shares at the time of sale by the shareholder, whichever
is less, is imposed.
CLASS B SHARES: Sales charge waivers are available. The maximum 5% contingent
deferred sales charge applies to sales of shares during the first year after
purchase. The charge generally declines by 1% annually, reaching zero after six
years.
CLASS C SHARES: If a shareholder sells these shares within one year after
purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% of the offering price or the
net asset value of the shares at the time of sale by the shareholder, whichever
is less, is imposed.
CLASS Y SHARES: No initial or contingent deferred sales charge is imposed, nor
are Class Y shares subject to 12b-1 distribution or service fees. Class Y shares
may be purchased by participants in certain investment programs that are
sponsored by PaineWebber and that may invest in PaineWebber mutual funds ("PW
Programs"), when Class Y shares are purchased through that PW Program.
Participation in a PW Program is subject to an advisory fee at the effective
maximum annual rate of no more than 1.5% of assets held through that PW Program.
This account charge is not included in the table because investors who are not
PW Program participants also are permitted to purchase Class Y shares.

12b-1 distribution fees are asset-based sales charges. Long-term Class B and
Class C shareholders may pay more in direct and indirect sales charges
(including 12b-1 distribution fees) than the economic equivalent of the maximum
front-end sales charge permitted by the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. 12b-1 fees have two components, as follows:

respectively.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES & POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Funds' investment objectives may not be changed without shareholder
approval. The Funds' other investment policies, except where noted, are not
fundamental and may be changed by their respective boards.
GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
The investment objective of Growth and Income Fund is current income and capital
growth. The Fund seeks to achieve the capital growth portion of its objective by
investing, under normal circumstances, at least 65% of its total assets in
equity securities believed by Mitchell Hutchins to have the potential for rapid
earnings growth. The Fund seeks to achieve the income portion of its objective
by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 65% of its total assets in
income-producing securities, which may include dividend-paying equity
securities, bonds and money market instruments.
The Fund may invest up to 10% in convertible bonds rated below investment grade.
Up to 25% of the Fund's total assets may be invested in U.S. dollar-denominated
equity securities and bonds of foreign issuers that are traded on recognized
U.S. exchanges or in the U.S. over-the-counter ("OTC") market.
MID CAP FUND
The investment objective of Mid Cap Fund is long-term capital appreciation. The

of purchase.
The Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in U.S. dollar-denominated
equity securities of foreign companies that trade on recognized U.S. stock
exchanges or on the U.S. OTC market. When Mitchell Hutchins believes it is
consistent with the Fund's investment objective of long-term capital
appreciation, the Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in common stocks
of companies that are larger or smaller than those of mid cap companies as
defined above, as well as in bonds and money market instruments.
SMALL CAP FUND
The investment objective of Small Cap Fund is long-term capital appreciation.
The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing, under normal conditions,
at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of small cap companies.

10% of total assets in convertible bonds rated below investment grade. Up to 25%
of the Fund's total assets may be invested in U.S. dollar-denominated equity
securities of foreign issuers traded on recognized U.S. exchanges or in the U.S.
OTC market.
GROWTH FUND
The investment objective of Growth Fund is long-term capital appreciation. The
Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing primarily in equity securities
issued by companies believed by Mitchell Hutchins to have substantial potential
for capital growth. Under normal circumstances, at least 65% of the Fund's total
assets are invested in equity securities.
The Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in U.S. government bonds and
in corporate bonds (including up to 10% in bonds and convertible securities
rated below investment grade). Up to 25% of the Fund's total assets may be
invested in U.S. dollar-denominated equity securities and bonds of foreign
issuers that are traded on recognized U.S. exchanges or in the U.S. OTC market.
* * * *
As with any mutual fund, there can be no assurance that any of these Funds will
achieve its investment objective. Each Fund's net asset value fluctuates based
upon changes in the value of its portfolio securities.

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY & PROCESS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
In seeking to balance capital growth with current income, Mitchell Hutchins
follows a disciplined investment process that relies on the Mitchell Hutchins
Equity Research Team and the Mitchell Hutchins Factor Valuation Model.
The Model screens a universe of small to large cap companies from ten different
business sectors to identify undervalued companies with strong earnings momentum
that rank well in three measures:
o VALUE: projected dividends, cash flow, earnings and book value;
o MOMENTUM: earnings and price to identify companies that could surprise on the
upside; and
o ECONOMIC SENSITIVITY: to forecast how different equity securities and
industries may perform under various economic scenarios.
The equity securities in the Model's universe are screened twice a month. Then
the Team takes a closer look at those equity securities that rank in the top 20%
of the Model's universe based on value and momentum. The Team applies
traditional fundamental analysis and may speak to the management of these
companies, as well as to the management of their competitors. Based on the
Team's findings in the context of Mitchell Hutchins' economic forecast, Mitchell
Hutchins decides whether to purchase or sell equity securities for the Fund. In
seeking capital appreciation, the Fund would also invest in bonds when, for
instance, Mitchell Hutchins anticipates that market interest rates may decline
or credit factors or ratings affecting particular issuers may improve.
MID CAP FUND
In selecting mid cap equity securities with long-term capital appreciation
potential, Mitchell Hutchins follows a disciplined investment process that
relies on the Mitchell Hutchins Equity Research Team and the Mitchell Hutchins

fundamental analysis and may speak to the management of these companies, as well
as to the management their competitors. Based on the Team's findings in the

seeking capital appreciation, the Fund would also invest in bonds when, for
instance, Mitchell Hutchins anticipates that market interest rates may decline
or credit factors or ratings affecting particular issuers may improve.
GROWTH FUND
In selecting equity securities with the potential for above-average growth in
earnings, cash flow and/or book value that are selling at a reasonable value
relative to that growth, Mitchell Hutchins follows a disciplined investment
process that relies on the Mitchell Hutchins Equity Research Team and combines a
"bottom-up," stock-by-stock approach with a modified, growth-oriented Mitchell
Hutchins Factor Valuation Model. The Fund can invest in companies with large
market capitalizations, medium-sized companies and smaller companies that are
aggressively expanding their businesses. This flexibility allows the Fund to
invest more of its assets in companies that have greater earnings growth
potential regardless of their market capitalizations. When investing in small
cap companies, the Team places more emphasis on the trading volume of the
company's stock.
The modified, growth-oriented Model, which the Team generally utilizes as part
of the stock selection process, screens a universe of small to large
capitalization companies from ten different business sectors to identify
companies that rank especially well on growth variables, including earnings
momentum, stock price movement, economic sensitivity and other growth factors.
The equity securities in the Model's universe are screened twice a month. Then
the Team takes a closer look at those equity securities that rank in the top 20%
of the Model's universe based on earnings growth. The Team applies traditional
fundamental analysis and may speak to the management of these companies, as well
as to the management of their competitors. Based on the Team's findings in the
context of Mitchell Hutchins' economic forecast, Mitchell Hutchins decides
whether to purchase or sell equity securities for the Fund. In seeking capital
appreciation, the Fund would also invest in bonds when, for instance, Mitchell
Hutchins anticipates that market interest rates may decline or credit factors or
ratings affecting particular issuers may improve.

PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Mid Cap Fund Small Cap Fund Growth Fund
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The Funds perform a standardized computation of annualized total return and may
show this return in advertisements or promotional materials. Standardized return
shows the change in value of an investment in a Fund as a steady compound annual
rate of return. Actual year-by-year returns fluctuate and may be higher or lower
than standardized return. Standardized returns for Class A shares of the Funds
reflect deduction of the Funds' maximum initial sales charge of 4.5% at the time
of purchase, and standardized returns for the Class B and Class C shares of the
Funds reflect deduction of the applicable contingent deferred sales charge
imposed on the sale of shares held for the period. One-, five- and ten-year
periods will be shown, unless the Fund or class has been in existence for a
shorter period. If so, returns will be shown for the period since inception,
known as "Life." Total return calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and
other distributions.
The Funds may use other total return presentations in conjunction with
standardized return. These may cover the same or different periods as those used
for standardized return and may include cumulative returns, average annual
rates, actual year-by-year rates or any combination thereof. Non-standardized
return does not reflect initial or contingent deferred sales charges and would
be lower if such charges were deducted.
Total return information reflects past performance and does not indicate future
results. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Funds will
fluctuate. The amount investors receive when selling shares may be more or less
than what they paid. Further information about each Fund's performance is
contained in its Annual Report to Shareholders, which may be obtained without
charge by contacting the Fund, your PaineWebber investment executive or
PaineWebber's correspondent firms or by calling toll-free 1-800-647-1568.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FUNDS' INVESTMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EQUITY SECURITIES include common stocks, preferred stocks and securities that
are convertible into them, including convertible debentures and notes and common
stock purchase warrants and rights. Common stocks, the most familiar type,
represent an equity (ownership) interest in a corporation.
Preferred stock has certain fixed-income features, like a bond, but is actually
equity in a company, like common stock. Convertible securities may include
debentures, notes and preferred equity securities, which are convertible into
common stock.
BONDS (including notes and debentures) are used by corporations and governments
to borrow money from investors. The issuer pays the investor a fixed or variable
rate of interest and must repay the amount borrowed at maturity. Bonds have
varying degrees of investment risk and varying levels of sensitivity to changes
in interest rates.
RISKS
Under normal circumstances, each Fund invests primarily in equity securities.
Following is a discussion of the risks of these investments and other risks that
are common to each Fund:
EQUITY SECURITIES. While past performance does not guarantee future results,
equity securities historically have provided the greatest long-term growth
potential in a company. However, their prices generally fluctuate more than
other securities and reflect changes in a company's financial condition and
overall market and economic conditions. Common stocks generally represent the
riskiest investment in a company. It is possible that a Fund may experience a
substantial or complete loss on an individual equity investment.
FOREIGN SECURITIES. Each Fund may invest a portion of its assets in U.S.
dollar-denominated securities of foreign companies that are traded on recognized
U.S. exchanges or in the U.S. OTC market. Investing in the securities of foreign
companies may involve more risks than investing in securities of U.S. companies.
Their value is subject to economic and political developments in the countries
where the companies operate and to changes in foreign currency values. Values
may also be affected by foreign tax laws, changes in foreign economic or
monetary policies, exchange control regulations and regulations involving
prohibitions on the repatriation of foreign currencies.
In general, less information may be available about foreign companies than about
U.S. companies, and foreign companies are generally not subject to the same
accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards as are U.S. companies.

Prospectus Page 16

------------------------------
PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Mid Cap Fund Small Cap Fund Growth Fund
INTEREST RATE AND CREDIT RISKS. Bonds are subject to interst rate risk and
credit risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that interest rates will rise and
bond prices will fall, lowering the value of a Fund's bond investments.
Long-term bonds are generally more sensitive to interest rate changes than
short-term bonds. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer or a guarantor may be
unable to pay interest or repay principal on the bond. Credit risk can be
affected by many factors, including adverse changes in the issuer's own
financial condition or in economic conditions.
BOND RATINGS; NON-INVESTMENT GRADE (LOWER-RATED) BONDS. Investment grade bonds
are those rated within the four highest categories by Standard & Poor's, a
division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. ("S&P"), or Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. ("Moody's"). Moody's fourth highest category (Baa) includes
securities which, in its opinion, have speculative features. For example,
changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to lead to
a weakened capacity to make principal and interest payments than is the case for
higher-rated debt instruments. The Funds may also invest in securities that are
comparably rated by another ratings agency and in unrated securities if they are
deemed to be of comparable quality. Credit ratings attempt to evaluate the
safety of principal and interest payments and do not evaluate the volatility of
a bond's value or its liquidity. There is a risk that bonds will be downgraded
by rating agencies. The ratings agencies may fail to make timely changes in
credit ratings in response to subsequent events, so that an issuer's current
financial condition may be better or worse than the rating indicates.
Bonds rated below investment grade are deemed by the ratings agencies to be
predominantly speculative regarding the issuer's ability to pay principal and
interest and may involve major risk exposure to adverse economic conditions.
They are also known as "junk bonds." During an economic downturn or period of
rising interest rates, issuers of these securities may experience financial
stress that adversely affects their ability to pay interest and principal and
may increase the possibility of default. Lower-rated bonds are frequently
unsecured by collateral and will not receive payment until more senior claims
are paid in full. The market for lower-rated bonds is thinner and less active,
which may limit the Funds' ability to sell such bonds at a fair value in
response to changes in the economy or financial markets.
Growth and Income Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in
non-investment grade convertible securities rated as low as B by S&P or Moody's
or comparably rated by another ratings agency.
Mid Cap Fund may only purchase investment grade bonds.
Small Cap Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets
in non-investment grade convertible securities rated as low as B by S&P or
Moody's or comparably rated by another ratings agency.
Growth Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in non-investment grade
bonds and convertible securities rated as low as B+ by S&P, B1 by Moody's or
comparably rated by another ratings agency.
DERIVATIVES. Some of the instruments in which the Funds may invest may be
referred to as "derivatives," because their value depends on (or "derives" from)
the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. These instruments
include options, futures contracts and similar instruments that may be used in
hedging strategies. There is only limited consensus as to what constitutes a
"derivative" security. The market value of derivative instruments and securities
sometimes is more volatile than that of other investments, and each type of
derivative instrument may pose its own special risks. Mitchell Hutchins takes
these risks into account in its management of the Funds.
COUNTERPARTIES. The Funds may be exposed to the risk of financial failure or
insolvency of another party. To help lessen those risks, Mitchell Hutchins,
subject to the supervision of the respective boards of trustees, monitors and
evaluates the creditworthiness of the parties with which each Fund does
business.
YEAR 2000 RISKS. Like other mutual funds and other financial and business
organizations around the world, the Funds could be adversely affected if the
computer systems used by Mitchell Hutchins, other service providers and entities
with computer systems that are linked to Fund records do not properly process
and calculate date-related information and data from and after January 1, 2000.
This is commonly known as the "Year 2000 Issue." Mitchell Hutchins is taking
steps that it believes are reasonably designed to address the Year 2000 Issue
with respect to the computer systems that it uses and to obtain satisfactory
assurances that comparable steps are being taken by each Fund's other major
service providers. However, there can be no assurance that these steps will be
sufficient to avoid any adverse impact on a Fund.
Similarly, the companies in which the Funds invest and trading systems used by
the Funds could be adversely affected by the Year 2000 Issue. The ability of a
company or trading system to respond successfully to the Year 2000 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.

PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Mid Cap Fund Small Cap Fund Growth Fund
In addition to these general risks, Mid Cap Fund and Small Cap Fund are also
subject to the following risk consideration:
MID CAP AND SMALL CAP COMPANIES. These companies may be more vulnerable than
larger companies to adverse business or economic developments. These companies
may also have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be
dependent on a relatively small management group. Securities of such companies
may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of larger companies or the
market averages in general and, therefore, may involve greater risk than
investing in larger companies. In addition, these companies may not be
well-known to the investing public, may not have institutional ownership and may
have only cyclical, static or moderate growth prospects.
INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES AND STRATEGIES
STRATEGIES USING DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS. Each Fund may use certain instruments,
which may include options (both exchange traded and OTC) and futures contracts
in strategies intended to reduce the overall risk of its investments ("hedge").
New financial products and risk management techniques continue to be developed
and may be used if consistent with the Funds' investment objectives and
policies. The Statement of Additional Information for the Funds contains further
information on these strategies.
The Funds might not use any derivative instruments, and there can be no
assurance that any strategy will succeed. If Mitchell Hutchins is incorrect in
its judgment on market values, interest rates or other economic factors in using
a derivative instrument or strategy, a Fund may have lower net income and a net
loss on the investment. Each strategy involves certain risks, which include:
o the fact that the skills needed to use derivative instruments are different
from those needed to select securities for the Funds,
o the possibility of imperfect correlation, or even no correlation, between
price movements of derivative instruments used in hedging strategies and price
movements of the securities being hedged,
o possible constraints placed on a Fund's ability to purchase or sell portfolio
investments at advantageous times due to the need for the Fund to maintain
"cover" or to segregate securities, and
o the possibility that the Fund is unable to close out or liquidate its
position.
LENDING PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. Each Fund may lend its securities to qualified
broker-dealers or institutional investors in an amount up to 33 1/3% of its
total assets. Lending securities enables a Fund to earn additional income, but
could result in a loss or delay in recovering these securities.
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER. Each Fund's portfolio turnover rate may vary greatly from
year to year and will not be a limiting factor when Mitchell Hutchins deems
portfolio changes appropriate. A higher turn-over rate (100% or more) for a Fund
will involve correspondingly greater transaction costs, which will be borne
directly by the Fund, and may increase the potential for short-term capital
gains.
DEFENSIVE AND TEMPORARY POSITIONS. When Mitchell Hutchins believes that unusual
market or economic circumstances warrant a defensive posture, a Fund may
temporarily commit all or any portion of its assets to cash or investment grade
money market instruments, including repurchase agreements. Each Fund may invest
up to 35% of its total assets in investment grade money market instruments
and/or cash for liquidity purposes, to reinvest cash collateral from securities
lending or pending investment in other securities.
Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a Fund purchases obligations
from a bank or securities dealer or its affiliates and simultaneously commits to
resell the obligations to that counterparty, usually no more than seven days
after purchase. Repurchase agreements carry certain risks not associated with
direct investments in securities, including possible decline in the market value
of the underlying obligations. 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, a Fund may suffer delays, costs and possible
losses.
ILLIQUID SECURITIES. Each Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets (15% for
Small Cap Fund) in illiquid securities. These include certain cover for OTC
options and securities whose disposition is restricted under the federal
securities laws. The Funds do not consider securities that are eligible for
resale pursuant to SEC Rule 144A to be illiquid securities if Mitchell Hutchins
has determined such securities to be liquid, based upon the trading markets for
the securities under procedures approved by the boards. The lack of a secondary
market for illiquid securities may make it more difficult for a Fund to assign a
value to those securities for purposes of valuing its portfolio and calculating
its net asset value.
OTHER INFORMATION. Each Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued basis or
may purchase or sell securities for delayed delivery. A Fund generally would not
pay for such securities or start earning interest on

them until they are delivered, but it would immediately assume the risks of
ownership, including the risk of price fluctuation.
Each Fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes but not in excess
of 10% of its total assets, including reverse repurchase agreements up to an
aggregate value of 5% (10% for Small Cap Fund) of its net assets.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLEXIBLE PRICING(Service Mark)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each Fund offers through this Prospectus four classes of shares that differ in
terms of sales charges and expenses. An eligible investor can select the class
that is best suited to his or her investment needs, based upon the holding
period and the amount of investment.
CLASS A SHARES
HOW PRICE IS CALCULATED: The price is the net asset value plus the initial sales
charge (the maximum is 4.5% of the public offering price) next calculated after
PaineWebber's New York City headquarters or PFPC Inc., the Funds' transfer agent
("Transfer Agent"), receives the purchase order. Although investors pay an
initial sales charge when they buy Class A shares, the ongoing expenses for this
class are lower than those of Class B and Class C shares. Class A shares sales
charges are calculated as follows:

- ------------------
(1) A contingent deferred sales charge of 1% of the shares' offering price or
the net asset value at the time of sale by the shareholder, whichever is
less, is charged on sales of shares made within one year of the purchase
date. However, Class A shares representing reinvestment of any dividends or
other distributions are not subject to the 1% charge. Withdrawals under the
Systematic Withdrawal Plan are not subject to this charge. However,
investors may not withdraw more than 12% of the value of the Fund account
under the Plan in the first year after purchase.
(2) Mitchell Hutchins pays 1% to PaineWebber.
SALES CHARGE REDUCTIONS AND WAIVERS
Investors purchasing Class A shares in more than one PaineWebber mutual fund may
combine those purchases to get a reduced sales charge. Investors who already own
Class A shares in one or more PaineWebber mutual funds may combine the amount
they are currently purchasing with the value of such previously owned shares to
qualify for a reduced sales charge. To determine the sales charge reduction,
please refer to the chart above.
Investors may also qualify for a reduced sales charge when they combine their
purchases with those of:
o their spouses, parents or children under age 21;
o their Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs);
o certain employee benefit plans, including 401(k) plans;
o any company controlled by the investor;
o trusts created by the investor;
o Uniform Gifts to Minors Act/Uniform Transfers to Minors Act accounts created
by the investor or group of investors for the benefit of the investors'
children; or
o accounts with the same adviser.
Employers who own Class A shares for one or more of their qualified retirement

with respect to the number of employees and investment amount, established by
Mitchell Hutchins. Currently, the plan must have 50 or more eligible employees

waiver, Mitchell Hutchins may make a payment to PaineWebber out of its own

For more information on how to get any reduced sales charge, investors should
contact a PaineWebber investment executive or a correspondent firm or call
1-800-647-1568. Investors must provide satisfactory information to PaineWebber
or the Fund if they seek any of these sales charge reductions or waivers.
CLASS B SHARES
HOW PRICE IS CALCULATED: The price is the net asset value next calculated after
PaineWebber's New York City headquarters or the Transfer Agent receives the
purchase order. The ongoing expenses investors pay for Class B shares are higher
than those of Class A shares. Because investors do not pay an initial sales
charge when they buy Class B shares, 100% of their purchase is immediately
invested.
Depending on how long they own their Fund investment, investors may have to pay
a sales charge when they sell their Fund shares. This sales charge is called a
"contingent deferred sales charge." The amount of the charge depends on how long
the investor owned the shares. The sales charge is calculated by multiplying the
offering price (net asset value of the shares at the time of purchase) or the
net asset value at the time of sale by the shareholder, whichever is less, by
the percentage shown on the following table. Investors who
--------------------
Prospectus Page 20
<PAGE>
------------------------------
PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Mid Cap Fund Small Cap Fund Growth Fund
own shares for more than six years do not have to pay a sales charge when
selling those shares.
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

6th year since purchase 1
7th year since purchase None
</TABLE>
CONVERSION OF CLASS B SHARES
Class B shares automatically convert to the appropriate number of Class A shares
of equal dollar value after the investor has owned them for six years. Dividends
and other distributions paid to the investor by the Fund in the form of
additional Class B shares will also convert to Class A shares on a pro-rata
basis. This benefits shareholders because Class A shares have lower ongoing
expenses than Class B shares. If the investor has exchanged Class B shares
between PaineWebber funds, the Fund uses the purchase date at which the initial
investment was made to determine the conversion date.
MINIMIZING THE CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
When investors sell Class B shares they have owned for less than six years, the
Fund automatically will minimize the sales charge by assuming the investors are
selling:
o First, Class B shares owned through reinvested dividends and capital gain
distributions; and
o Second, Class B shares held in the portfolio the longest.
WAIVERS OF THE CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
The contingent deferred sales charge will not apply to:
o sales of shares under a Fund's Systematic Withdrawal Plan (investors may not
withdraw annually more than 12% of the value of the Fund account under the
Plan);
o a distribution from an IRA, a self-employed individual retirement plan ("Keogh
Plan") or a custodial account under section 403(b) of the Code (after the
investor reaches age 59 1/2);
o a tax-free return of an excess IRA contribution;
o a tax-qualified retirement plan distribution following retirement; or
o Class B shares sold within one year of an investor's death if the investor
owned the shares at the time of death either as the sole shareholder or with
his or her spouse as a joint tenant with the right of survivorship.
Investors must provide satisfactory information to PaineWebber or the Funds if
they seek any of these waivers.
CLASS C SHARES
HOW PRICE IS CALCULATED: The price of Class C shares is the net asset value
next calculated after PaineWebber's New York City headquarters or the Transfer
Agent receives the purchase order. The ongoing expenses of Class C shares are
higher than those of Class A shares. Because investors do not pay an initial
sales charge when they buy Class C shares, 100% of their purchase is immediately
invested. Class C shares never convert to any other class of shares.
A contingent deferred sales charge of 1% of the net asset value of the shares at
the time of purchase or sale, whichever is less, is charged on sales of shares
made within one year of the purchase date. Other PaineWebber mutual funds may
impose a different contingent deferred sales charge on Class C shares sold
within one year of the purchase date. A sale of Class C shares acquired through
an exchange and held less than one year will be subject to the same contingent
deferred sales charge that would have been imposed on the Class C shares of the
PaineWebber mutual fund originally purchased. Class C shares representing
reinvestment of any dividends or capital gains will not be subject to the 1%
charge. Withdrawals under the Systematic Withdrawal Plan also will not be
subject to this charge. However, investors may not withdraw more than 12% of the
value of the Fund account under the Plan in the first year after purchase.
CLASS Y SHARES
HOW PRICE IS CALCULATED: Eligible investors may purchase Class Y shares at the
net asset value next calculated after PaineWebber's New York City headquarters
or the Transfer Agent receives the purchase order. Because investors do not pay
an initial sales charge when they buy Class Y shares, 100% of their purchase is
immediately invested. No contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on Class Y
shares, and the ongoing expenses for Class Y shares are lower than for the other
classes because Class Y shares are not subject to 12b-1 distribution or service
fees.
LIMITED GROUPS OF INVESTORS. Only the following investors are eligible to buy
Class Y shares:
o a participant in the PW Program listed below, when Class Y shares are
purchased through that PW Program;
--------------------

PACE MULTI-ADVISOR PROGRAM: An investor who participates in the PACE
Multi-Advisor Program is eligible to purchase Class Y shares. The PACE
Multi-Advisor Program is an advisory program sponsored by PaineWebber that
provides comprehensive investment services, including investor profiling, a
personalized asset allocation strategy using an appropriate combination of
funds, and a quarterly investment performance review. Participation in the PACE
Multi-Advisor Program is subject to payment of an advisory fee at the effective
maximum annual rate of 1.5% of assets. Employees of PaineWebber and its
affiliates are entitled to a waiver of this fee.
Please contact your PaineWebber investment executive or PaineWebber's
correspondent firms for more information concerning mutual funds that are
available through the PACE Multi-Advisor Program.
PURCHASES BY THE TRUSTEE OF THE PW 401(K) PLAN
Class Y shares of Growth Fund and Growth and Income Fund also are offered for
sale to the "trustee of the PW 401(k) Plan, a defined contribution plan
sponsored by Paine Webber Group Inc. ("PWGroup"). The trustee of the PW 401(k)
Plan purchases and sells Class Y shares to implement the investment choices of
individual plan participants with respect to their PW 401(k) Plan contributions.
Individual plan participants should consult the Plan Information Statement and
Summary Plan Description of the PW 401(k) Plan (collectively, "Plan Documents")
for a description of the procedures and limitations applicable to making and
changing investment choices.
Copies of the Plan Documents are available from the Benefits Connection, 100
Halfday Road, Lincolnshire, IL 60069 or by calling 1-888-PWebber
(1-888-793-2237).
As described in the Plan Documents, the average net asset value per share at
which Class Y shares of Growth Fund and Growth and Income Fund are purchased or
sold by the trustee of the PW 401(k) Plan for the accounts of individual
participants might be more or less than the net asset value per share prevailing
at the time that such participants made their investment choices or made their
contributions to the PW 401(k) Plan.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO BUY SHARES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prices are calculated for each class of a Fund's shares once each Business Day,
at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (usually
4:00 p.m., Eastern time). Prices will be calculated earlier when the NYSE closes
early because trading has been halted for the day. A "Business Day" is any day,
Monday through Friday, on which the NYSE is open for business.
The Funds and Mitchell Hutchins reserve the right to reject any purchase order
and to suspend the offering of Fund shares for a period of time.
When placing an order to buy shares, investors should specify which class of
shares they want to buy. If investors fail to specify the class, they will
automatically receive Class A shares, which include an initial sales charge.
Investors in Class Y shares must provide satisfactory information to PaineWebber
or an individual Fund that they are eligible to purchase Class Y shares.
PAINEWEBBER CLIENTS
Investors who are PaineWebber clients may buy shares through PaineWebber
investment executives or its correspondent firms. Investors may buy shares in
person, by mail, by telephone or by wire (the minimum wire purchase is $1
million). PaineWebber investment executives and correspondent firms are
responsible for promptly sending investors' purchase orders to PaineWebber's New
York City headquarters.
Investors may pay for their purchases with checks drawn on U.S. banks or with
funds they have in their brokerage accounts at PaineWebber or its correspondent
firms.

Investors who already have money invested in a PaineWebber mutual fund, and want
to invest in another PaineWebber mutual fund, can:
o mail an application with a check; or
o open an account by exchanging from another PaineWebber mutual fund.
Investors do not have to send an application when making additional investments
in the Fund.
MINIMUM INVESTMENTS
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
To open an account................. $1,000
To add to an account............... $ 100
</TABLE>
A Fund may waive or reduce these minimums for:
o employees of PaineWebber or its affiliates;
o participants in certain pension plans, retirement accounts, unaffiliated
investment programs or the Fund's automatic investment plan; or
o transactions in Class A and Class Y shares made in certain investment
programs.
HOW TO EXCHANGE SHARES
As shareholders, investors have the privilege of exchanging Class A, B and C
shares for shares of the same class of most other PaineWebber mutual funds. For
classes of shares where no initial sales charge is imposed, a contingent
deferred sales charge may apply if the investor sells the shares acquired
through the exchange. Class Y shares are not exchangeable.
Exchanges may be subject to minimum investment requirements of the fund into
which exchanges are made.
o Investors who purchased their shares through an investment executive at
PaineWebber or one of its correspondent firms may exchange their shares by
contacting their investment executive in person or by telephone, mail or wire.
o Investors who do not have an account with an investment executive at
PaineWebber or one of its correspondent firms may exchange their shares by
writing a "letter of instruction" to the Transfer Agent. The letter of
instruction must include:
o the investor's name and address;
o the Fund's name;
o the Fund account number;
o the dollar amount or number of shares to be sold; and
o a guarantee of each registered owner's signature. A signature guarantee may
be obtained from a domestic bank or trust company, broker, dealer, clearing
agency or savings association which is a participant in a medallion program
recognized by the Securities Transfer Association. The three recognized
medallion programs are Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP),
Stock Exchanges Medallion Program (SEMP) and the NYSE Medallion Signature
Program (MSP). Signature guarantees which are not part of these programs
will not be accepted.
The letter must be mailed to PFPC Inc., Attn: PaineWebber Mutual Funds, P.O. Box
8950, Wilmington, DE 19899.
No contingent deferred sales charge is imposed when Class A, B or C shares are
exchanged for the corresponding class of shares of other PaineWebber mutual
funds. A Fund will use the purchase date of the initial investment to determine
any contingent deferred sales charge due when the acquired shares are sold. Fund
shares may be exchanged only after the settlement date has passed and payment
for the shares has been made. The exchange privilege is available only in those
jurisdictions where the sale of the fund shares to be acquired is authorized.
This exchange privilege may be modified or terminated at any time and, when
required by SEC rules, upon a 60-day notice. See the back cover of this
Prospectus for a listing of other PaineWebber mutual funds.

HOW TO SELL SHARES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investors can sell (redeem) shares at any time. Shares will be sold at the share
price for that class (less any applicable contingent deferred sales charge) as
next calculated after the order is received by PaineWebber's New York City
headquarters or the Transfer Agent. Share prices are normally calculated at the
close of regular trading on the NYSE (usually 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). Prices
will be calculated earlier when the NYSE closes early because trading has been
halted for the day.
Investors who own more than one class of shares should specify which class they
are selling. If they do not, the Fund will assume they are first selling their
Class A shares, then Class C, then Class B and last, Class Y.
If a shareholder wants to sell shares that were purchased recently, the Fund may
delay payment until it verifies that good payment was received. In the case of
purchases by check, this can take up to 15 days.
Investors who have an account with PaineWebber or one of PaineWebber's
correspondent firms can sell their shares by contacting their investment
executive. Investors who do not have an account and have bought their shares
through the Funds' Transfer Agent (PFPC Inc.) may sell shares by writing a
"letter of instruction," as detailed in "How to Exchange Shares."
Because the Funds incur certain fixed costs in maintaining shareholder accounts,
each Fund reserves the right to purchase back all of its shares in any
shareholder account with a net asset value of less than $500. If a Fund elects
to do so, it will notify the shareholder of the opportunity to increase the
amount invested to $500 or more within 60 days of the notice. The Fund will not
purchase back accounts that fall below $500 solely due to a reduction in net
asset value per share.
REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE
Shareholders who sell their Class A shares may reinstate their Fund account
without a sales charge up to the dollar amount sold by purchasing the Fund's
Class A shares within 365 days after the sale. To take advantage of this
reinstatement privilege, shareholders must notify their investment executive at
PaineWebber or one of its correspondent firms at the time of purchase.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER SERVICES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investors should consult their investment executives at PaineWebber or one of
its correspondent firms to learn more about the following services available
with respect to the Funds' Class A, Class B and C shares:
AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN
Investing on a regular basis helps investors meet their financial goals.
PaineWebber offers an Automatic Investment Plan with a minimum initial
investment of $1,000 through which a Fund will deduct $50 or more on a monthly,
quarterly, semiannual or annual basis from the investor's bank account to invest
directly in the Fund. In addition to providing a convenient and disciplined
manner of investing, participation in the Automatic Investment Plan enables the
investor to use the technique of "dollar cost averaging."
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN
The Systematic Withdrawal Plan allows investors to set up monthly, quarterly
(March, June, September and December), semiannual (June and December) or annual
(December) withdrawals from their Fund accounts. Minimum balances and
withdrawals vary according to the class of shares:
o CLASS A AND CLASS C SHARES. Minimum value of Fund shares is $5,000; minimum
withdrawals of $100.
o CLASS B SHARES. Minimum value of Fund shares is $20,000; minimum monthly,
quarterly, semiannual and annual withdrawals of $200, $400, $600 and $800,
respectively.
Withdrawals under the Systematic Withdrawal Plan are not subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge. Investors may not withdraw more than 12% of the
--------------------

<PAGE>
------------------------------
PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Mid Cap Fund Small Cap Fund Growth Fund
value of the Fund account when the investor signed up for the Plan (annually for
Class B shares; during the first year for Class A and C shares). Shareholders
who elect to receive dividends or other distributions in cash may not
participate in the Plan.
INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
Self-Directed IRAs are available through PaineWebber in which purchases of
PaineWebber funds and other investments may be made. Investors considering
establishing an IRA should review applicable tax laws and should consult their
tax advisers.
TRANSFER OF ACCOUNTS
If investors holding shares of a Fund in a PaineWebber brokerage account
transfer their brokerage accounts to another firm, the Fund shares will be moved
to an account with the Transfer Agent. However, if the other firm has entered
into a selected dealer agreement with Mitchell Hutchins relating to the Fund,
the shareholder may be able to hold Fund shares in an account with the other
firm.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each Fund is governed by its board of trustees, which oversees the Fund's
operations. Each board has appointed Mitchell Hutchins as investment adviser and
administrator responsible for the Fund's operations (subject to the authority of
the board). The boards, as part of their overall management responsibility,
oversee various organizations responsible for the day-to-day management of each
Fund.
In accordance with procedures adopted by the boards, brokerage transactions for
the Funds may be conducted through PaineWebber or its affiliates and the Funds
may pay fees to PaineWebber for its services as lending agent in their portfolio
securities lending programs. Personnel of Mitchell Hutchins may engage in
securities transactions for their own accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that
establishes procedures for personal investing and restricts certain
transactions.
ABOUT THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
Mitchell Hutchins, located at 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York,
10019, is a wholly owned asset management subsidiary of PaineWebber, which is
wholly owned by Paine Webber Group Inc., a publicly owned financial services
holding company. On October 31, 1998, Mitchell Hutchins was adviser or
sub-adviser of 33 investment companies with 75 separate portfolios and aggregate
assets of approximately $42.7 billion.
As investment adviser and administrator for each Fund, Mitchell Hutchins makes
and implements all investment decisions and supervises all aspects of each
Fund's operations.
Mark A. Tincher is a managing director and chief investment officer of equities
of Mitchell Hutchins, responsible for overseeing the management of equity
investments. Upon his arrival at Mitchell Hutchins, Mr. Tincher formed the
Mitchell Hutchins Equity Research Team. Each analyst on the Team focuses on
different industries. As a result, the Team provides PaineWebber Stock Funds
with more specialized knowledge of the various industries in which the Funds
generally invest. The Team is also assisted by members of Mitchell Hutchins'
fixed income groups, who provide input on market outlook, interest rate
forecasts and other considerations pertaining to domestic equity and fixed
income investments.
GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
Mr. Tincher has been responsible for the day-to-day management of Growth and
Income Fund since April 1995. From March 1988 to March 1995, Mr. Tincher worked

directed the U.S. funds management and equity research area at Chase and oversaw
the management of all Chase U.S. equity funds (the Vista Funds and Trust

Mr. Tincher was the sole portfolio manager of Vista Growth and Income Fund
("Vista Fund"), with full discretionary authority over the selection of
investments, from July 31, 1991 through March 16, 1995. Vista Fund's investment
objectives of long-term capital appreciation and dividend income are
substantially similar to Growth and Income Fund's investment objective of
current income and capital growth. Mr. Tincher used and relied upon the same
valuation model and analytical methods when managing the Vista Fund as he now
uses for Growth and Income Fund.

DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS
Mitchell Hutchins is the distributor of each Fund's shares and has appointed
PaineWebber as the exclusive dealer for the sale of those shares. There is no
distribution plan with respect to the Funds' Class Y shares. Under distribution
plans for Class A, Class B and Class C shares ("Class A Plan," "Class B Plan"
and "Class C Plan," collectively, "Plans"), the Funds pay Mitchell Hutchins:
o Monthly service fees at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily
net assets of each class of shares.
o Monthly distribution fees at the annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net
assets of Class B and Class C shares.
Under the Plans, Mitchell Hutchins primarily uses the service fees to pay
PaineWebber for shareholder servicing, currently at the annual rate of up to
0.25% of the aggregate investment amounts maintained in each Fund's Class A,
Class B and Class C shares by PaineWebber clients. PaineWebber then compensates
its investment executives for shareholder servicing that they perform and
offsets its own expenses in servicing and maintaining shareholder accounts.
Mitchell Hutchins uses the distribution fees under the Class B and Class C Plans
to:
o Offset the commissions it pays to PaineWebber for selling each Fund's Class B
and Class C shares, respectively.
o Offset each Fund's marketing costs attributable to such classes, such as
preparation, printing and distribution of sales literature, advertising and
prospectuses to prospective investors and related overhead expenses, such as
employee salaries and bonuses.
PaineWebber compensates investment executives when Class B and Class C shares
are bought by investors, as well as on an ongoing basis. Mitchell Hutchins
receives no special compensation from any of the Funds or investors at the time
Class B or C shares are bought.
Mitchell Hutchins receives the proceeds of the initial sales charge paid when
Class A shares are bought and of the contingent deferred sales charge paid upon
sales of shares. These proceeds may be used to cover distribution expenses.
The Plans and the related distribution contracts for each class of shares
("Distribution Contracts") specify that each Fund must pay service and
distribution fees to Mitchell Hutchins for its activities, not as reimbursement
for specific expenses incurred. Therefore, even if Mitchell Hutchins' expenses
exceed the service or distribution fees it receives, the Funds will not be
obligated to pay more than those fees. On the other hand, if Mitchell Hutchins'
expenses are less than such fees, it will retain its full fees and realize a
profit. Expenses in excess of service and distribution fees received or accrued
through the termination date of any Plan will be Mitchell Hutchins' sole
responsibility and not that of the Funds. Annually, the board of each Fund
reviews each Plan and Mitchell Hutchins' corresponding expenses for each class
separately from the Plans and expenses of the other classes.

DETERMINING THE SHARES'
NET ASSET VALUE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The net asset value of a Fund's shares fluctuates and is determined separately
for each class, normally as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (usually
4:00 p.m., Eastern time) each Business Day. Each Fund's net asset value per
share is determined by dividing the value of the securities it holds, plus any
cash or other assets, minus all liabilities, by the total number of Fund shares
outstanding.
If trading on the NYSE is halted for the day before 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, and
trading on the NYSE will not resume again that day, each Fund's net asset value
per share will be calculated at the time trading was halted.
Each Fund values its assets based on their current market value when market
quotations are readily available. If market quotations are not readily
available, assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or
under the direction of its board. The amortized cost method of valuation
generally is used to value debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining to
maturity, unless a Fund's board determines that this does not represent fair
value. It should be recognized that judgment plays a greater role in valuing
lower-rated corporate bonds because there is less reliable, objective data
available.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIVIDENDS & TAXES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIVIDENDS
Mid Cap Fund, Small Cap Fund and Growth Fund each pays an annual dividend, and
Growth and Income Fund pays a semiannual dividend, from its net investment
income and net short-term capital gain, if any. Each Fund also annually
distributes substantially all of its net capital gain (the excess of net
long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss), if any. Each Fund may
make additional distributions, if necessary, to avoid a 4% excise tax on certain
undistributed income and capital gain. If determined by its board to be in the
best interests of its shareholders, Growth and Income Fund may also make
additional distributions of net investment income and net short-term capital
gain, if any.
Dividends and other distributions paid on each class of shares of a Fund are
calculated at the same time and in the same manner. Dividends on Class A, B and
C shares of a Fund are expected to be lower than those on its Class Y shares
because the other shares have higher expenses resulting from their service fees
and, in the case of Class B and Class C shares, their distribution fees.
Dividends on Class B and Class C shares of a Fund are expected to be lower than
those on its Class A shares because Class B and Class C shares have higher
expenses resulting from their distribution fees. Dividends on each class might
be affected differently by the allocation of other class-specific expenses. See
"General Information."
Each Fund's dividends and other distributions are paid in additional Fund shares
of the same class at net asset value, unless the shareholder has requested cash
payments. Shareholders who wish to receive dividends and other distributions in
cash, either mailed to them by check or credited to their PaineWebber accounts,
should contact their investment executives at PaineWebber or one of its
correspondent firms or complete the appropriate section of the account
application.
TAXES
Each Fund intends to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment
company under the Code so that it will not have to pay federal income tax on the
part of its investment company taxable income (generally consisting of net
investment income and net short-term capital gain) and net capital gain that it
distributes to its shareholders.
--------------------
Prospectus Page 28
<PAGE>
------------------------------
PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Mid Cap Fund Small Cap Fund Growth Fund
Dividends from each Fund's investment company taxable income (whether paid in
cash or additional shares) are generally taxable to its shareholders as ordinary
income. Distributions of each Fund's net capital gain (whether paid in cash or
additional shares) are taxable to its shareholders as long-term capital gain,
regardless of how long they have held their Fund shares. Under the Taxpayer
Relief Act of 1997, as modified by recent legislation, the maximum tax rate
applicable to a non-corporate taxpayer's net capital gain recognized on capital
assets held for more than one year is 20% (10% for taxpayers in the 15% marginal
tax bracket). In the case of a regulated investment company such as a Fund, the
relevant holding period is detemined by how long the Fund has held the portfolio
securities on which the gain was realized, not how long the shareholders have
held their Fund shares.
Shareholders who are not subject to tax on their income generally will not be
required to pay tax on distributions from the Funds.
YEAR-END TAX REPORTING
Following the end of each calendar year, each Fund notifies its shareholders of
the amounts of dividends and capital gain distributions paid (or deemed paid) by
the Fund that year and any portion of those dividends that qualifies for special
tax treatment.
BACKUP WITHHOLDING
Each Fund must withhold 31% of all dividends, capital gain distributions and
redemption proceeds payable to individuals and certain other non-corporate
shareholders who do not provide the Fund with a correct taxpayer identification
number. Withholding at that rate also is required from dividends and capital
gain distributions payable to such shareholders who otherwise are subject to
backup withholding.
TAXES ON THE SALE OR EXCHANGE OF FUND SHARES
A shareholder's sale (redemption) of Fund shares may result in a taxable gain or
loss. This depends upon whether the shareholder receives more or less than the
adjusted basis for the shares (which normally includes any initial sales charge
paid on Class A shares). An exchange of any Fund's shares for shares of another
PaineWebber mutual fund generally will have similar tax consequences. In
addition, if a Fund's shares are bought within 30 days before or after selling
other shares of that Fund (regardless of class) at a loss, all or a portion of
that loss will not be deductible and will increase the basis of the newly
purchased shares.
SPECIAL TAX RULES FOR CLASS A SHAREHOLDERS
Special tax rules apply when a shareholder sells (redeems) or exchanges Class A
shares within 90 days of purchase and subsequently acquires Class A shares of
the same or another PaineWebber mutual fund without paying a sales charge due to
the 365-day reinstatement privilege or the exchange privilege. In these cases,
any gain on the sale or exchange of the original Class A shares would be
increased, or any loss would be decreased, by the amount of the sales charge
paid when those shares were bought, and that amount would increase the basis of
the PaineWebber mutual fund shares subsequently acquired.
A shareholder will recognize no gain or loss as a result of conversion of
Class B shares to Class A shares.
* * * *
The foregoing only summarizes some of the important federal income tax
considerations affecting the Funds and their shareholders. Please see the
further discussion contained in the Statement of Additional Information.
Prospective shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisers.

GENERAL INFORMATION

ORGANIZATION
GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
Growth and Income Fund is a diversified series of PaineWebber America Fund, an
open-end management investment company that was formed on October 31, 1986 as a
business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The board
has authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of
separate series, par value $0.001 per share.
MID CAP FUND
Mid Cap Fund is a diversified series of PaineWebber Managed Assets Trust, an
open-end management investment company that was formed on August 9,
--------------------
Prospectus Page 29
<PAGE>
------------------------------
PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Mid Cap Fund Small Cap Fund Growth Fund
1991, as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
The trustees have authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest of separate series, par value $0.001 per share.
SMALL CAP FUND
Small Cap Fund is a diversified series of PaineWebber Securities Trust
("Securities Trust"), an open-end management investment company that was formed
on December 3, 1992 as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. The board has authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of
beneficial interest of separate series, par value $0.001 per share. In addition
to Small Cap Fund, shares of one other series have been authorized.
GROWTH FUND
Growth Fund is a diversified series of PaineWebber Olympus Fund, an open-end
management investment company that was formed on October 31, 1986 as a business
trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The board has
authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of
separate series, par value $0.001 per share.
SHARES
The shares of each Fund are divided into four classes, designated Class A,
Class B, Class C and Class Y shares. Each class of shares of a Fund represents
an identical interest in that Fund's investment portfolio and has the same
rights, privileges and preferences. However, each class may differ with respect
to sales charges, if any, distribution and/or service fees, if any, other
expenses allocable exclusively to each class, voting rights on matters
exclusively affecting that class, and its exchange privilege, if any. The
different sales charges and other expenses applicable to the different classes
of shares of the Funds will affect the performance of those classes.
Each share of a Fund is entitled to participate equally in dividends, other
distributions and the proceeds of any liquidation of that Fund. However, due to
the differing expenses of the classes, dividends on a Fund's Class A, B, C and Y
shares will differ.
Although each Fund is offering only its own shares, it is possible that a Fund
could become liable for a misstatement in the Prospectus about another Fund. The
board of each Fund considered this factor in approving the use of a combined
Prospectus.
VOTING RIGHTS
Shareholders of each 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 any Fund (or
Securities Trust, which has more than one series) may elect all of the trustees
of that Fund or of Securities Trust. The shares of a Fund will be voted
together, except that only the shareholders of a particular class of a Fund may
vote on matters affecting only that class, such as the terms of a Plan as it
relates to the class. The shares of each series of Securities Trust will be
voted separately except where an aggregate vote of all its series is required by
law.
SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS
The Funds do not hold annual meetings.
Shareholders of record of no less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of a
Fund or Securities Trust may remove a trustee through a declaration in writing
or by vote cast in person or by proxy at a meeting called for that purpose. A
meeting will be called to vote on the removal of a trustee at the written
request of holders of 10% of a Fund's or Securities Trust's outstanding shares.
REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS
Each Fund sends its shareholders audited annual and unaudited semiannual
reports, each of which includes a list of the investment securities held by that
Fund as of the end of the period covered by the report. The Statement of
Additional Information, which is incorporated herein by reference, is available
to shareholders upon request.
CUSTODIAN & RECORDKEEPING AGENT;
TRANSFER & DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT
State Street Bank and Trust Company, located at One Heritage Drive, North
Quincy, Massachusetts 02171, serves as each Fund's custodian and recordkeeping
agent. PFPC Inc., a subsidiary of PNC Bank, N.A., serves as each Fund's transfer
and dividend disbursing agent. It is located at 400 Bellevue Parkway,
Wilmington, DE 19809.

** During certain periods presented, PaineWebber/Mitchell Hutchins waived fees
or reimbursed the Fund for portions of its operating expenses. If such
waivers or reimbursements had not been made for the Class A shares, the
annualized ratio of expenses to average net assets and the annualized ratio
of net investment income (loss) to average net assets would have been 1.76%
and (0.25)%, respectively, for the year ended August 31, 1989.
+ Commencement of offering of shares.
(1) Total investment return is calculated assuming a $1,000 investment on the
first day of each period reported, reinvestment of all dividends and other
distributions at net asset value on the payable dates and a sale at net
asset value on the last day of each period reported. The figures do not
include sales charges; results would be lower if sales charges were
included. Total investment returns information for periods less than one
year have not been annualized.
(2) These ratios include non-recurring reorganization expenses of 0.06%.
(3) Calculated using the average shares outstanding for the year.
