PAINEWEBBER UTILITY INCOME FUND
PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
See the body of the Prospectus for more information on the topics discussed
in this summary.
The Fund: PaineWebber Utility Income Fund ("Fund") is a diversi-
fied series of an open-end management investment compa-
ny.
Investment Objec-
tive and Policies: To provide current income and capital appreciation;
seeks to achieve this objective by investing primarily
in income-producing equity and debt securities of domes-
tic and foreign companies in the electric, telecommuni-
cations, gas and water utility industries. Under normal
circumstances, the Fund invests at least 65% of its to-
tal assets in such securities.
Investment Adviser
and Administrator: Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell
Hutchins"), an asset management subsidiary of
PaineWebber Incorporated ("PaineWebber" or "PW"), man-
ages over $41.5 billion in assets. See "Management."
Total Net Assets:
$66.4 million at February 28, 1995.
Purchases: Shares of beneficial interest are available exclusively
through PaineWebber and its correspondent firms for in-
vestors who are clients of PaineWebber or those firms
("PaineWebber clients") and, for other investors,
through PFPC Inc., the Fund's transfer agent ("Transfer
Agent").
Flexible Pricing Investors may select Class A, Class B or Class D shares,
System: each with a public offering price that reflects differ-
ent sales charges and expense levels. See "Flexible
Pricing System," "Purchases," "Redemptions" and "Conver-
sion of Class B Shares."
Class A Shares Offered at net asset value plus any applicable sales
charge (maximum is 4.5% of public offering price).
Class B Shares Offered at net asset value (a maximum contingent de-
ferred sales charge of 5% of redemption proceeds is im-
posed on certain redemptions made within six years of
date of purchase). Class B shares automatically convert
into Class A shares (which pay lower ongoing expenses)
approximately six years after purchase.
2
<PAGE>
Class D Shares Offered at net asset value without an initial or contin-
gent deferred sales charge. Class D shares pay higher
ongoing expenses than Class A shares and do not convert
into another Class.
Exchanges:
Shares may be exchanged for shares of the corresponding
Class of most PaineWebber and Mitchell Hutchins/Kidder,
Peabody ("MH/KP") mutual funds.
Redemptions: PaineWebber clients may redeem through PaineWebber;
other shareholders must redeem through the Transfer
Agent.
Dividends: Declared and paid monthly; net capital gain is distrib-
uted annually. See "Dividends and Taxes."
Reinvestment: All dividends and capital gain distributions are paid in
Fund shares of the same Class at net asset value unless
the shareholder has requested cash.
Minimum Purchase: $1,000 for first purchase; $100 for subsequent pur-
chases.
Other Features:
Class A Shares Automatic investment Quantity discounts on initial
plan sales
Systematic with- charge
drawal plan 365-day reinstatement privilege
Rights of accumula-
tion
Class B Shares Automatic investment Systematic withdrawal plan
plan
Class D Shares Automatic investment Systematic withdrawal plan

WHO SHOULD INVEST. The Fund provides investors with all the benefits of in-
vesting in utilities
through a conservatively managed, quality portfolio. Utility stocks and bonds
have long been the choice for income-oriented, conservative investors. The Fund
is designed for investors pursuing current income and capital appreciation
through investing in income-producing equity and debt securities of domestic
and foreign companies in the electric, telecommunications, gas and water util-
ity industries.
While the Fund is not intended to provide a complete or balanced investment
program, it can serve as one component of an investor's long-term program to
accumulate assets for retirement, college tuition or other major goals.
RISK FACTORS. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its in-
vestment objective and the Fund's net asset value per share will fluctuate
based upon changes in the value of its portfolio securities. The Fund's policy
of concentrating its investments in the utility industries may cause the value
of its shares to fluctuate more than if it invested in a greater number of in-
dustries.
3
<PAGE>
In particular, Fund shares will be affected by economic, competitive and regu-
latory developments in those industries, including, among other things, the
possible adverse effects of an evolving regulatory climate, difficulties in ob-
taining adequate returns on capital investments, increased competition in the
telecommunications industry and adverse effects of changes in fuel and energy
costs in the electric and gas utilities industries. Investors in the Fund
should be able to assume the special risks of investing in foreign securities,
which include possible adverse political, social and economic developments
abroad and differing characteristics of foreign economies and markets. These
risk's are greater with respect to securities located in emerging markets, in
which the Fund is authorized to invest. There is often less information pub-
licly available about foreign issuers. Foreign securities held by the Fund may
be denominated in foreign currencies, and the value of these investments thus
can be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency values. Some for-
eign currencies can be volatile and may be subject to governmental controls or
intervention. Certain investment grade debt securities in which the Fund may
invest have speculative characteristics. The use of options, futures contracts,
forward currency contracts and interest rate protection transactions also en-
tails special risks. Prospective investors are urged to read "Investment Objec-
tive and Policies" for more complete information about risk factors.
EXPENSES OF INVESTING IN THE FUND. The following tables are intended to as-
sist investors in understanding the expenses associated with investing in the
Fund.

Dealers, Inc.
EXAMPLE OF EFFECT OF FUND EXPENSES

sales charge.
(2) Assumes deduction at the time of redemption of the maximum applicable
contingent deferred sales charge.
(3) Ten-year figures assume conversion of Class B Shares to Class A shares at
end of sixth year.
This Example assumes that all dividends and other distributions are rein-
vested and that the percentage amounts listed under Annual Fund Operating Ex-
penses remain the same in the years shown. The above tables and the assumption
in the Example of a 5% annual return are required by regulations of the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission ("SEC") applicable to all mutual funds; the as-
sumed 5% annual return is not a prediction of, and does not represent, the pro-
jected or actual performance of any Class of the Fund's shares.
THE EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE EX-
PENSES, AND THE FUND'S ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.
The actual expenses attributable to each Class of Fund shares will depend upon,
among other things, the level of average net assets, the extent to which the
Fund incurs variable expenses, such as transfer agency costs and whether Mitch-
ell Hutchins reimburses all or a portion of the Fund's expenses and/or waives
all or a portion of its advisory and other fees.

FLEXIBLE PRICING SYSTEM
DIFFERENCES AMONG THE CLASSES
The primary distinctions among the Classes of the Fund's shares lie in their
initial and contingent deferred sales charge structures and in their ongoing
expenses, including asset-based sales charges in the form of distribution fees.
These differences are summarized in the table below. Each Class has distinct
advantages and disadvantages for different investors, and investors may choose
the Class that best suits their circumstances and objectives.

</TABLE>
FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN CHOOSING A CLASS OF SHARES
In deciding which Class of shares to purchase, investors should consider the
cost of sales charges together with the cost of the ongoing annual expenses de-
scribed below, as well as any other relevant facts and circumstances.
SALES CHARGES. Class A shares are sold at net asset value plus an initial
sales charge of up to 4.5% of the public offering price. Because of this ini-
tial sales charge, not all of a Class A shareholder's purchase price is in-
vested in the Fund. Class B shares are sold with no initial sales charge, but a
contingent deferred sales charge of up to 5% of the redemption proceeds applies
to redemptions made within six years of purchase. Class D shareholders pay no
initial or contingent deferred sales charges. Thus, the entire amount of a
Class B or Class D shareholder's purchase price is immediately invested in the
Fund.
WAIVERS AND REDUCTIONS OF CLASS A SALES CHARGES. Class A share purchases over
$50,000 and Class A share purchases made under the Fund's reduced sales charge
plan may be made at a reduced sales charge. In considering the combined cost of
sales charges and ongoing annual expenses, investors should take into account
any reduced sales charges on Class A shares for which they may be eligible.
The entire initial sales charge on Class A shares is waived for certain eli-
gible purchasers. Because Class A shares bear lower ongoing annual expenses
than Class B shares or Class D shares, investors eligible for complete waivers
should purchase Class A shares.
ONGOING ANNUAL EXPENSES. All three Classes of Fund shares pay an annual 12b-1
service fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets.
Class B and Class D shares pay an annual 12b-1 distribution fee of 0.75% of
average daily net assets. Annual 12b-1 distribution fees are a form of asset-
based sales charge. An investor should consider both ongoing annual expenses
and initial or contingent deferred sales charges in estimating the costs of
investing in the
7
<PAGE>
respective Classes of Fund shares over various time periods.
For example, assuming a constant net asset value, the cumulative distribution
fees on the Fund's Class B or Class D shares and the 4.5% maximum initial sales
charge on the Fund's Class A shares would all be approximately equal if the
shares were held for six years. Because Class B shares convert to Class A
shares (which do not bear the expense of ongoing distribution fees) approxi-
mately six years after purchase, an investor expecting to hold Fund shares for
longer than six years would generally pay lower cumulative expenses by purchas-
ing Class A or Class B shares than by purchasing Class D shares. An investor
expecting to hold Fund shares for less than six years would generally pay lower
cumulative expenses by purchasing Class D shares than by purchasing Class A
shares, and due to the contingent deferred sales charges that would become pay-
able on redemption of Class B shares, such an investor would generally pay
lower cumulative expenses by purchasing Class D shares than Class B shares.
The foregoing examples do not reflect, among other variables, the cost or
benefit of bearing sales charges or distribution fees at the time of purchase,
upon redemption or over time, nor can they reflect fluctuations in the net as-
set value of Fund shares, which will affect the actual amount of expenses paid.
Expenses borne by Classes may differ slightly because of the allocation of
other Class-specific expenses. The "Example of Effect of Fund Expenses" under
"Prospectus Summary" shows the cumulative expenses an investor would pay over
time on a hypothetical investment in each Class of Fund shares, assuming an an-
nual return of 5%.
OTHER INFORMATION
PaineWebber investment executives may receive different levels of compensa-
tion for selling one particular Class of Fund shares rather than another. In-
vestors should understand that distribution fees and initial and contingent de-
ferred sales charges all are intended to compensate Mitchell Hutchins for dis-
tribution services.
See "Purchases", "Redemptions" and "Management" for a more complete descrip-
tion of the initial and contingent deferred sales charges, service fees and
distribution fees for the three Classes of shares of the Fund. See also "Con-
version of Class B Shares," "Dividends and Taxes," "Valuation of Shares" and
"General Information" for other differences among the three Classes.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES
The Fund's investment objective is to provide current income and capital ap-
preciation. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing primarily in
a diversified portfolio of income-producing equity securities (common stocks,
preferred stocks and convertible securities) and debt securities issued by do-
mestic and foreign companies primarily engaged in the ownership or operation of
facilities used in the generation, transmission or distribution of electricity,
telecommunications, gas or water. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will in-
vest at least 65% of its total assets in such securities.
Mitchell Hutchins invests the Fund's assets in securities that, in Mitchell
Hutchins' judgment, provide current income and potential for growth of income
or long-term capital appreciation. In selecting portfolio securities for the
Fund, Mitchell Hutchins considers the issuer and its business environment, man-
agement, financial condition, anticipated earnings and dividends and other re-
lated measures of value. The relative proportions of common stocks, preferred
stocks, convertible securities and debt securities will vary from time to time
based upon Mitchell Hutchins' judgment of the extent to which investments in
each category
8
<PAGE>
will contribute to meeting the Fund's investment objective. The Fund will not
invest more than 5% of its total assets in debt securities rated lower than in-
vestment grade.
Changes in interest rates may affect the Fund's net asset value per share be-
cause prices of both debt and equity securities of utility companies tend to
increase when interest rates decline and decrease when interest rates rise.
OTHER INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISK FACTORS
UTILITY INDUSTRIES. The Fund invests primarily in the equity and debt securi-
ties of companies primarily engaged in the ownership or operation of facilities
used to provide electricity, telecommunications, gas or water. For these pur-
poses, "primarily engaged" means that (1) more than 50% of the company's assets
are devoted to the ownership or operation of one or more facilities as de-
scribed above, or (2) more than 50% of the company's operating revenues are de-
rived from the business or combination of businesses described above.
Due to the Fund's investment policy of concentrating in the utility indus-
tries, the Fund has greater exposure to the risk factors that are characteris-
tic of such investments. In particular, the value of and investment return on
the Fund's shares is affected by economic or regulatory developments in or re-
lated to the utility industries. Utility companies in the United States and in
foreign countries are generally subject to substantial regulation. Such regula-
tion is intended to ensure appropriate standards of review and adequate capac-
ity to meet public demand. The nature of regulation of utility industries is
evolving both in the United States and in foreign countries. Although certain
companies may develop more profitable opportunities, others may be forced to
defend their core businesses and may be less profitable. Electric utility com-
panies have historically been subject to the risks associated with increases in
fuel and other operating costs, high interest costs on borrowings, costs asso-
ciated with compliance with environmental, nuclear facility and other safety
regulations and changes in the regulatory climate. Increased scrutiny of elec-
tric utilities might result in higher costs and higher capital expenditures,
with the risk that regulators may disallow inclusion of these costs in rate au-
thorizations. Increasing competition due to past regulatory changes in the tel-
ephone communications industry continues and, whereas certain companies have
benefitted, many companies may be adversely affected in the future. Gas trans-
mission companies and gas distribution companies continue to undergo signifi-
cant changes as well. Many companies have diversified into oil and gas explora-
tion and development, making returns more sensitive to energy prices. Water
supply utilities are in an industry that is highly fragmented due to local own-
ership and generally the companies are more mature and are experiencing little
or no per capita volume growth. There is no assurance that favorable develop-
ments will occur in the utility industries generally or that business opportu-
nities will continue to undergo significant changes or growth. See "Investment
Policies and Restrictions--Utility Industries--Description and Risk Factors" in
the Statement of Additional Information.
INVESTMENT OUTSIDE THE UTILITY INDUSTRIES. The Fund may invest up to 35% of
its assets in securities of companies that are outside the utility industries.
Such investments may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible secu-
rities, debt securities and money market instruments, including repurchase
agreements, and are selected to meet the Fund's investment objective of current
income and capital appreciation. Securities outside the utility industries in
which the Fund may invest may be issued by either U.S. or foreign companies and
governments. Some of these issuers may be in industries related to utility in-
dustries and, therefore, may be subject to similar risks.

FOREIGN SECURITIES. Investments in foreign securities involve risks relating
to political, social and economic developments abroad as well as risks result-
ing from the differences between the regulations to which U.S. and foreign is-
suers and markets are subject. These risks may include expropriation, withhold-
ing taxes on dividends and interest, confiscatory taxation, limitations on the
use or transfer of the Fund's assets, difficulty in obtaining or enforcing a
court judgment abroad, restrictions on the exchange of currencies and political
or social instability or diplomatic developments. Moreover, individual foreign
economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such re-
spects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital rein-
vestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position. Securi-
ties of many foreign companies may be less liquid and their prices more vola-
tile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. While the Fund generally in-
vests only in securities that are traded on recognized exchanges or in over-
the-counter ("OTC") markets, from time to time foreign securities may be diffi-
cult to liquidate rapidly without significantly depressing the price of such
securities. There may be less publicly available information concerning foreign
issuers of securities held by the Fund than is available concerning U.S. compa-
nies. Foreign securities trading practices, including those involving securi-
ties settlement where the Fund's assets may be released prior to receipt of
payment, may expose the Fund to increased risk in the event of a failed trade
or the insolvency of a foreign broker-dealer. Transactions in foreign securi-
ties may be subject to less efficient settlement practices. Legal remedies for
defaults and disputes may have to be pursued in foreign courts, whose proce-
dures may differ substantially from those of U.S. courts.
Because foreign securities ordinarily are denominated in currencies other
than the U.S. dollar (as are some securities of U.S. issuers), changes in for-
eign currency exchange rates will affect the Fund's net asset value, the value
of interest earned and dividends received, gains and losses realized on the
sale of securities and net investment income and capital gain, if any, to be
distributed to shareholders by the Fund. If the value of a foreign currency
rises against the U.S. dollar, the value of the Fund's assets denominated in
that currency will increase; correspondingly, if the value of a foreign cur-
rency declines against the U.S. dollar, the value of the Fund's assets denomi-
nated in that currency will decrease. The exchange rates between the U.S. dol-
lar and other currencies are determined by supply and demand in the currency
exchange markets, international balances of payments, speculation and other
economic and political conditions. In addition, some foreign currency values
may be volatile and there is the possibility of governmental controls on cur-
rency exchange or governmental intervention in the currency markets. Any of
these factors could adversely affect the Fund.
The costs attributable to foreign investing that the Fund must bear fre-
quently are higher than those attributable to domestic investing. For example,
the costs of maintaining custody of securities in foreign countries exceed cus-
todian costs related to domestic securities. Currently, the Fund does not in-
tend to invest more than 15% of its total assets in foreign securities.
EMERGING MARKET SECURITIES. The Fund may invest in securities of issuers lo-
cated in emerging market countries. The risks of investing in foreign securi-
ties may be greater with respect to securities of issuers in, or denominated in
the currencies of, emerging market countries. The economies of emerging market
countries generally are heavily dependent upon international trade and, accord-
ingly, have been and may continue to be adversely affected by trade barriers,
exchange controls, managed adjustments in relative currency values and other
10
<PAGE>
protectionist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they
trade. These economies also have been, and may continue to be, adversely af-
fected by economic conditions in the countries with which emerging market coun-
tries trade. Many emerging market countries have experienced substantial, and
in some periods extremely high, rates of inflation for many years. Inflation
and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates have had, and may continue to have,
very negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain emerg-
ing market countries. The securities markets of emerging market countries are
substantially smaller, less developed, less liquid and more volatile than the
securities markets of the United States and other developed countries. Disclo-
sure and regulatory standards in many respects are less stringent in emerging
market countries than in the United States and other major markets. There also
may be a lower level of monitoring and regulation of emerging markets and the
activities of investors in such markets, and enforcement of existing regula-
tions may be extremely limited. Investing in local markets, particularly in
emerging market countries, may require the Fund to adopt special procedures,
seek local government approvals or take other actions, each of which may in-
volve additional costs to the Fund. Certain emerging market countries may also
restrict investment opportunities in industries deemed important to national
interests.
DEBT SECURITIES. The investment grade debt securities in which the Fund may
invest include securities rated BBB by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P"),
Baa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or comparably rated by an-
other nationally recognized or foreign statistical rating organization ("SRO")
Moody's considers securities rated Baa to have speculative characteristics.
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 securities. Securities rated lower than BBB by S&P, Baa
by Moody's or comparably rated by another SRO, in which the Fund may invest up
to 5% of its total assets, are considered predominantly speculative with re-
spect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal and may in-
volve major risk exposure to adverse conditions. The Fund is also permitted to
purchase debt securities that are not rated by S&P, Moody's or another SRO but
that Mitchell Hutchins determines to be of comparable quality to that of rated
securities in which the Fund may invest. See the Statement of Additional Infor-
mation for more information about S&P and Moody's ratings.
The market value of debt securities generally varies inversely with interest
rate changes. Ratings of debt securities represent the SROs' opinions regarding
their quality, are not a guarantee of quality and may be reduced after the Fund
has acquired the security. Mitchell Hutchins will consider such an event in de-
termining whether the Fund should continue to hold the security but is not re-
quired to dispose of it. However, in the event that, due to a downgrade of one
or more debt securities, an amount in excess of 5% of the Fund's net assets is
held in securities rated below investment grade and comparable unrated securi-
ties, Mitchell Hutchins will engage in an orderly disposition of these securi-
ties to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund's holdings of these secu-
rities do not exceed 5% of the Fund's net assets. Credit ratings attempt to
evaluate the safety of principal and interest payments and do not reflect an
assessment of the volatility of the security's market value or the liquidity of
an investment in the security. Also, SROs 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.

HEDGING AND RELATED INCOME STRATEGIES. The Fund may use options (both ex-
change-traded and OTC) and futures contracts to attempt to enhance income and
may reduce the overall risk of its investments (hedge) by using options,
futures contracts and forward currency contracts. Hedging strategies may be
used in an attempt to manage foreign currency exposure and other risks of the
Fund's investments that can cause fluctuations in its net asset value. The
Fund's ability to use these strategies may be limited by market conditions,
regulatory limits and tax considerations. The Appendix to this Prospectus de-
scribes the instruments that the Fund may use, and the Statement of Additional
Information contains further information on these strategies.
The Fund may enter into forward currency contracts for the purchase or sale
of a specified currency at a specified future date either with respect to spe-
cific transactions or with respect to portfolio positions. For example, when
Mitchell Hutchins anticipates making a currency exchange transaction in connec-
tion with the purchase or sale of a security, the Fund may enter into a forward
currency contract in order to set the exchange rate at which the transaction
will be made. The Fund also may enter into a forward contract to sell an amount
of a foreign currency approximating the value of some or all of its securities
positions denominated in that currency. The Fund may use forward contracts in
one currency or a basket of currencies to hedge against fluctuations in the
value of another currency when Mitchell Hutchins anticipates that there will be
a correlation between the two and may use forward currency contracts to shift
the Fund's exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to anoth-
er. The purpose of entering into these contracts is to minimize the risk to the
Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and for-
eign currencies. The Fund may also purchase and sell foreign currency futures
contracts, options thereon and options on foreign currencies.
The Fund may purchase and write (sell) call and put options on securities in
which the Fund is authorized to invest and on stock and debt security indices.
The Fund also may purchase and sell stock index, debt security index and inter-
est rate futures contracts and options thereon and may purchase and sell cov-
ered straddles on securities, stock and debt security indices or currencies or
options on futures contracts on securities indices, or currencies. The Fund may
enter into options and futures contracts that approximate (but do not exceed)
the full value of its portfolio.
The Fund may also enter into interest rate protection transactions, including
interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors, to preserve a return or spread
on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio or to protect against
any increase in the price of securities the Fund anticipates purchasing at a
later date. The Fund will enter into interest rate protection transactions only
with banks and recognized securities dealers believed by Mitchell Hutchins to
present minimal credit risks in accordance with guidelines established by the
Trust's board of trustees. The Fund would use these transactions as a hedge and
not as a speculative investment.
The Fund might not employ any of the strategies described above, and no as-
surance can be given that any strategy used will succeed. If Mitchell Hutchins
incorrectly forecasts interest rates, market values or other economic factors
in utilizing a strategy for the Fund, the Fund would be in a better position
had it not hedged at all. The use of these strategies involves certain special
risks, including (1) the fact that skills needed to use hedging instruments are
different from those needed to select the Fund's securities, (2) possible im-
perfect correlation, or even no correlation, between price
12
<PAGE>
movements of hedging instruments and price movements of the investments being
hedged, (3) the fact that, while hedging strategies can reduce the risk of
loss, they can also reduce the opportunity for gain, or even result in losses,
by offsetting favorable price movements in hedged investments and (4) the pos-
sible inability of the Fund to purchase or sell a portfolio security at a time
that otherwise would be favorable for it to do so, or the possible need for the
Fund to sell a portfolio security at a disadvantageous time, due to the need
for the Fund to maintain "cover" or to segregate securities in connection with
hedging transactions and the possible inability of the Fund to close out or to
liquidate its hedged position.
New financial products and risk management techniques continue to be devel-
oped. The Fund may use these instruments and techniques to the extent consis-
tent with its investment objective and regulatory and tax considerations.
U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. The Fund may invest in U.S. government securi-
ties, including direct obligations of the U.S. government (such as Treasury
bills, notes and bonds) and obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and
instrumentalities, including securities that are supported by the full faith
and credit of the United States (such as Government National Mortgage Associa-
tion certificates) and securities that are supported primarily or solely by the
creditworthiness of the issuer (such as securities of the Federal National
Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Tennessee
Valley Authority).
FOREIGN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. The Fund may invest in foreign government se-
curities, which generally consist of obligations supported by national, state
or provincial governments or similar political subdivisions. Foreign government
securities also include debt obligations of supranational entities, which in-
clude international organizations designated or supported by governmental enti-
ties to promote economic reconstruction or development, international banking
institutions and related government agencies. Examples include the Inter-na-
tional Bank for Reconstruction and Develop- ment (the World Bank), the European
Coal and Steel Community, the Asian Development Bank and the Inter-American De-
velopment Bank.
Foreign government securities also include debt securities of quasi-govern-
mental agencies and debt securities denominated in multinational currency
units. An example of a multinational currency unit is the European Currency
Unit ("ECU"). An ECU represents specified amounts of the currencies of certain
member states of the European Union. The specific amounts of currencies com-
prising the ECU may be adjusted by the Council of Ministers of the European
Union to reflect changes in relative values of the underlying currencies.
Mitchell Hutchins does not believe that such adjustments will adversely affect
holders of ECU-denominated obligations or the marketability of such securities.
European supranational entities, in particular, issue ECU-denominated obliga-
tions.
Foreign government securities also include debt securities of "quasi-govern-
mental agencies." Debt securities of quasi-governmental agencies are issued by
entities owned by either a national, state or equivalent government or are ob-
ligations of a political unit that is not backed by the national government's
full faith and credit and general taxing powers. Foreign government securities
also include mortgage-related securities issued or guaranteed by national,
state or provincial governmental instrumentalities, including quasi-governmen-
tal agencies.
Investments in foreign government debt securities involve special risks. The
issuer of the
13
<PAGE>
debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may
be unable or unwilling to pay interest or repay principal when due in accor-
dance with the terms of such debt, and the Fund may have limited legal recourse
in the event of default. Political condi-tions, especially a sovereign entity's
willingness to meet the terms of its debt obligations, are of considerable sig-
nificance.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES. The Fund may purchase debt secu-
rities on a "when-issued" basis or may purchase or sell securities for delayed
delivery. In when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, delivery of the se-
curities occurs beyond normal settlement periods, but the Fund generally would
not pay for such securities or start earning interest on them until they are
delivered. However, when the Fund purchases securities on a when-issued or de-
layed delivery basis, it immediately assumes the risks of ownership, including
the risk of price fluctuation. Failure by a counter party to deliver a security
purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may result in a loss or
missed opportunity to make an alternative investment. Depending on market con-
ditions, the Fund's when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments could
cause its net asset value per share to be more volatile, because such securi-
ties may increase the amount by which the Fund's total assets, including the
value of when-issued and delayed delivery securities held by the Fund, exceed
its net assets.
ILLIQUID SECURITIES. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in il-
liquid securities, including certain cover for OTC options and securities whose
disposition is restricted under the federal securities laws (other than "Rule
144A" securities Mitchell Hutchins has determined to be liquid under procedures
approved by the Trust's trustees). Rule 144A establishes a "safe harbor" from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act"). In-
stitutional markets for restricted securities have developed as a result of
Rule 144A, providing both readily ascertainable values for restricted securi-
ties and the ability to liquidate an investment to satisfy share redemption or-
ders. An insufficient number of qualified institutional buyers interested in
purchasing Rule 144A-eligible restricted securities held by the Fund, however,
could affect adversely the marketability of such portfolio securities and the
Fund might be unable to dispose of such securities promptly or at favorable
prices.
OTHER INFORMATION. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its
investment objective. When Mitchell Hutchins believes unusual circumstances
warrant a defensive position, the Fund temporarily may commit all or any por-
tion of its assets to cash (U.S. dollars or foreign currencies) or money market
instruments of U.S. or foreign issuers, including repurchase agreements. The
Fund may hold up to 35% of its total assets in such instruments for liquidity
purposes or pending investment. Repurchase agreements are transactions in which
the Fund purchases securities from a bank or recognized securities dealer and
simultaneously commits to resell the securities to the bank or dealer at an
agreed-upon date and price reflecting a market rate of interest unrelated to
the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased securities. Although repurchase
agreements carry certain risks not associated with direct investments in secu-
rities, including possible decline in the market value of the underlying secu-
rities and delays and costs to the Fund if the other party to the repurchase
agreement becomes insolvent, the Fund intends to enter into repurchase agree-
ments only with banks and dealers in transactions believed by Mitchell Hutchins
to present minimal credit risks in accordance with guidelines established by
the Trust's board of trustees The Fund may engage in short sales of securities
"against the box" to defer realization of gains and losses for
14
<PAGE>
tax or other purposes. The Fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency
purposes, but not in excess of 10% of its total assets.
The Fund's investment objective may not be changed without the affirmative
vote of its shareholders. Certain other investment limitations, as described
in the Statement of Additional Information, also may not be changed without
shareholder approval. All other investment policies may be changed by the
Trust's board of trustees without shareholder approval.
PURCHASES
GENERAL. Class A shares are sold to investors subject to an initial sales
charge. Class B shares are sold without an initial sales charge but are subject
to higher ongoing expenses than Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales
charge payable upon certain redemptions. Class B shares automatically convert to
Class A shares approximately six years after issuance. Class D shares are sold
without an initial or a contingent deferred sales charge but are subject to
higher ongoing expenses than Class A shares and do not convert into another
Class. See "Flexible Pricing System" and "Conversion of Class B Shares."
Shares of the Fund are available through PaineWebber and its correspondent
firms or, for shareholders who are not PaineWebber clients, through the Trans-
fer Agent. Investors may contact a local PaineWebber office to open an ac-
count. The minimum initial investment is $1,000, and the minimum for addi-
tional purchases is $100. These minimums may be waived or reduced for invest-
ments by employees of PaineWebber or its affiliates, certain pension plans and
retirement accounts and participants in the Fund's automatic investment plan.
Purchase orders will be priced at the net asset value per share next computed
(see "Valuation of Shares") after the order is received by PaineWebber's New
York City offices or by the Transfer Agent, plus any applicable sales charge
for Class A shares. The Fund 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 purchase orders, investors should specify whether the order is
for Class A, Class B or Class D shares. All share purchase orders that fail to
specify a Class will automatically be invested in Class A shares.
PURCHASES THROUGH PAINEWEBBER OR CORRESPONDENT FIRMS. Purchases through
PaineWebber investment executives or correspondent firms may be made in person
or by mail, telephone or wire; the minimum wire purchase is $1 million. In-
vestment executives and correspondent firms are responsible for trans-mitting
purchase orders to PaineWebber's New York City offices promptly. Investors may
pay for purchases with checks drawn on U.S. banks or with funds held in bro-
kerage accounts at PaineWebber or its correspondent firms. Payment is due on
the fifth Business Day after the order is received at PaineWebber's New York
City offices. A "Business Day" is any day, Monday through Friday, on which the
New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") is open for business.
PURCHASES THROUGH THE TRANSFER AGENT. Investors who are not PaineWebber cli-
ents may purchase shares of the Fund through the Transfer Agent. Shares of the
Fund may be purchased, and an account with the Fund established, by completing
and signing the purchase application at the end of this Prospectus and mailing
it, together with a check to cover the purchase, to the Transfer Agent: PFPC
Inc., Attn: PaineWebber Mutual Funds, P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington, Delaware
19899. Subsequent investments need not be accompanied by an application.

(1) Mitchell Hutchins pays compensation to PaineWebber out of its own re-
sources.
Mitchell Hutchins may at times agree to reallow a higher discount to
PaineWebber, as exclusive dealer for Fund shares, than those shown above. To
the extent PaineWebber or any dealer receives 90% or more of the sales charge,
it may be deemed an "underwriter" under the 1933 Act.
SALES CHARGE WAIVERS--CLASS A SHARES. Class A shares are available without a
sales charge through exchanges for Class A shares of most other PaineWebber mu-
tual funds. See "Exchanges." In addition, Class A shares may be purchased with-
out a sales charge, and exchanges of any Class of shares made without the $5.00
exchange fee, by employees, directors and officers of PaineWebber or its affil-
iates, directors or trustees and officers of any PaineWebber fund, their spous-
es, parents and children and advisory clients of Mitchell Hutchins.
Class A shares also may be purchased without a sales charge if the purchase
is made through a PaineWebber investment executive who formerly was employed as
a broker with another firm registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC, provided
(1) the purchaser was the investment executive's client at the competing bro-
kerage firm, (2) within 90 days of the purchase of Class A shares the purchaser
redeemed shares of one or more mutual funds for which that competing firm or
its affiliates was principal underwriter, provided the purchaser either paid a
sales charge to invest in those funds, paid a contingent deferred sales charge
upon redemption or held shares of those funds for the period required not to
pay the otherwise applicable contingent deferred sales charge and (3) the total
amount of shares of all PaineWebber funds purchased under this sales charge
waiver does not exceed the amount of the purchaser's redemption proceeds from
the competing firm's funds. To take advantage of this waiver, an investor must
provide satisfactory evidence that all the above-noted conditions are met.
Qualifying investors should contact their PaineWebber investment executives for
more information.
Certificate holders of unit investment trusts ("UITs") sponsored by
PaineWebber may acquire Class A shares of the Fund without regard to minimum
investment requirements and without sales charges by electing to have dividends
and other distributions from their UIT investment automatically invested in
Class A shares.
16
<PAGE>
REDUCED SALES CHARGE PLANS--CLASS A SHARES. If an investor or eligible group
of related Fund investors purchases Class A shares of the Fund concurrently
with Class A shares of other PaineWebber mutual funds, the purchases may be
combined to take advantage of the reduced sales charge applicable to larger
purchases. In addition, the right of accumulation permits a Fund investor or
eligible group of related Fund investors to pay the lower sales charge appli-
cable to larger purchases by basing the sales charge on the dollar amount of
Class A shares currently being purchased, plus the net asset value of the in-
vestor's or group's total existing Class A shareholdings in other PaineWebber
mutual funds.
An "eligible group of related Fund investors" includes an individual, the
individual's spouse, parents and children, the individual's individual retire-
ment account ("IRA"), certain companies controlled by the individual and em-
ployee benefit plans of those companies, and trusts or Uniform Gifts to Minors
Act/Uniform Transfers to Minors Act accounts created by the individual or eli-
gible group of individuals for the benefit of the individual and/or the indi-
vidual's spouse, parents or children. The term also includes a group of re-
lated employers and one or more qualified retirement plans of such employers.
For more information, an investor should consult the Statement of Additional
Information or contact a PaineWebber investment executive or correspondent
firm or the Transfer Agent.
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE--CLASS B SHARES. The public offering price
of the Class B shares of the Fund is the next determined net asset value, and
no initial sales charge is imposed. A contingent deferred sales charge, howev-
er, is imposed upon certain redemptions of Class B shares.
Class B shares that are redeemed will not be subject to a contingent de-
ferred sales charge to the extent that the value of such shares repre sents
(1) capital appreciation of Fund assets, (2) reinvestment of dividends or cap-
ital gain distributions or (3) shares redeemed more than six years after their
purchase. Otherwise, redemptions of Class B shares will be subject to a con-
tingent deferred sales charge. The amount of any applicable contingent de-
ferred sales charge will be calculated by multiplying the net asset value of
such shares at the time of redemption by the applicable percentage shown in
the table below.

</TABLE>
In determining the applicability and rate of any contingent deferred sales
charge, it will be assumed that a redemption is made first of Class B shares
representing capital appreciation, next of shares representing the reinvest-
ment of dividends and capital gain distributions and finally of other shares
held by the shareholder for the longest period of time. The holding period of
Class B shares acquired through an exchange with another PaineWebber mutual
fund will be calculated from the date that the Class B shares were initially
acquired in one of the other PaineWebber funds, and Class B shares being re-
deemed will be considered to represent, as applicable, capital appreciation or
dividend and capital gain distribution reinvestments in such other funds. This
will result in any contingent deferred sales charge being imposed at the low-
est possible rate. For federal income tax purposes, the amount of the contin-
gent deferred sales charge will reduce the gain or increase the loss, as the
case may be, realized on the redemption. The amount of any contingent deferred
sales charge will be paid to Mitchell Hutchins.
17
<PAGE>
SALES CHARGE WAIVERS--CLASS B SHARES. The contingent deferred sales charge
will be waived for exchanges, as described below, and for redemptions in con-
nection with the Fund's systematic withdrawal plan. In addition, the contingent
deferred sales charge will be waived for a total or partial redemption made
within one year of the death of the shareholder. The contingent deferred sales
charge waiver is available where the decedent is either the sole shareholder or
owns the shares with his or her spouse as a joint tenant with right of survi-
vorship. This waiver applies only to redemption of shares held at the time of
death. The contingent deferred sales charge will also be waived in connection
with a lump-sum or other distribution in the case of an IRA, a self-employed
individual retirement plan (so-called "Keogh Plan") or a custodial account un-
der Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code following attainment of age 59
1/2; a total or partial redemption resulting from any distribution following
retirement in the case of a tax-qualified retirement plan; and a redemption re-
sulting from a tax-free return of an excess contribution to an IRA.
Contingent deferred sales charge waivers will be granted subject to confirma-
tion (by PaineWebber in the case of shareholders who are PaineWebber clients or
by the Transfer Agent in the case of all other shareholders) of the sharehold-
er's status or holdings, as the case may be.
PURCHASE OF CLASS D SHARES. The public offering price of the Class D shares
of the Fund is the next determined net asset value. No initial or contingent
deferred sales charge is imposed.
EXCHANGES
Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of the corresponding Class of
other PaineWebber and MH/KP mutual funds, or may be acquired through an ex-
change of shares of the corresponding Class of those funds. No initial sales
charge is imposed on the shares being acquired, and no contingent deferred
sales charge is imposed on the shares being disposed of, through an exchange.
However, contingent deferred sales charges may apply to redemptions of Class B
shares of PaineWebber mutual funds acquired through an exchange. Class B shares
of MH/KP mutual funds differ from those of PaineWebber mutual funds. Class B
shares of MH/KP mutual funds are equivalent to Class D shares of PaineWebber
mutual funds. Thus, contingent deferred sales charges are not applicable to re-
demptions of the Class B shares of MH/KP mutual funds. A $5.00 exchange fee is
charged for each exchange, and exchanges may be subject to minimum investment
requirements of the fund into which exchanges are made.
Exchanges are permitted among other PaineWebber and MH/KP mutual funds, in-
cluding:

PaineWebber clients must place exchange orders through their PaineWebber in-
vestment executives or correspondent firms. Shareholders who are not
PaineWebber clients must place exchange orders in writing with the Transfer
Agent: PFPC Inc., Attn: PaineWebber Mutual Funds, P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington,
Del aware 19899. All exchanges with the funds listed above will be effected
based on the relative net asset values per share next computed after the ex-
change order is received at PaineWebber's New York City offices or by the
Transfer Agent. See "Valuation of Shares." Fund shares purchased through
PaineWebber or its correspondent firms may be exchanged only after the settle-
ment date has passed and payment for such shares has been made.
OTHER EXCHANGE INFORMATION. This exchange privilege may be modified or termi-
nated at any time, upon at least 60 days' notice when required by SEC rules.
See the Statement of Additional Information for further details. This ex-change
privilege is available only in those jurisdictions where the sale of the
PaineWebber and MH/KP fund shares to be acquired through such exchange may be
legally made. Before making any exchange, shareholders should contact their
PaineWebber investment executives or correspondent firms or the Transfer Agent
to obtain more information and prospectuses of the PaineWebber and MH/KP funds
to be acquired through the exchange.
REDEMPTIONS
As described below, Fund shares may be redeemed at their net asset value
(subject to any applicable contingent deferred sales charge) and redemption
proceeds will be paid within seven days of the receipt of a redemption request.
PaineWebber clients may redeem shares through PaineWebber or its correspondent
firms; all other shareholders must redeem through the Transfer Agent. If a re-
deeming shareholder owns shares of more than one Class, the shares will be re-
deemed in the following order unless the shareholder specifically requests oth-
erwise: Class D shares, then Class A shares, and finally Class B shares.
19
<PAGE>
REDEMPTION THROUGH PAINEWEBBER OR CORRESPONDENT FIRMS. PaineWebber clients
may submit redemption requests to their investment executives or correspondent
firms in person or by telephone, mail or wire. As the Fund's agent, PaineWebber
may honor a redemption request by repurchasing Fund shares from a redeeming
shareholder at the shares' net asset value next computed after receipt of the
request by PaineWebber's New York City offices. Within seven days, repurchase
proceeds (less any applicable contingent deferred sales charge) will be paid by
check or credited to the shareholder's brokerage account at the election of the
shareholder. PaineWebber investment executives and correspondent firms are re-
sponsible for promptly forwarding redemption requests to PaineWebber's New York
City offices.
PaineWebber reserves the right to reject any redemption request, in which
case PaineWebber promptly will forward the request to the Transfer Agent for
treatment as described below.
REDEMPTION THROUGH THE TRANSFER AGENT. Fund shareholders who are not
PaineWebber clients must redeem their shares through the Transfer Agent by
mail; other shareholders also may redeem Fund shares through the Transfer
Agent. Shareholders should mail redemption requests directly to the Transfer
Agent: PFPC Inc., Attn: PaineWebber Mutual Funds, P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington,
Delaware 19899. A redemption request will be executed at the net asset value
next computed after it is received in "good order." "Good order" means that the
request must be accompanied by the following: (1) a letter of instruction or a
stock assignment specifying the number of shares or amount of investment to be
redeemed (or that all shares credited to a Fund account be redeemed), signed by
all registered owners of the shares in the exact names in which they are regis-
tered, (2) a guarantee of the signature of each registered owner by an eligible
institution acceptable to the Transfer Agent and in accordance with SEC rules,
such as a commercial bank, trust company or member of a recognized stock ex-
change, and (3) other supporting legal documents for estates, trusts, guardian-
ships, custodianships, partnerships and corporations. Shareholders are respon-
sible for ensuring that a request for redemption is received in "good order."
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON REDEMPTIONS. Redemption proceeds of $1 million or
more may be wired to the shareholder's PaineWebber brokerage account or a com-
mercial bank account designated by the shareholder. Questions about this op-
tion, or redemption requirements generally, should be referred to the share-
holder's PaineWebber investment executive or correspondent firm, or to the
Transfer Agent if the shares are not held in a PaineWebber brokerage account.
If a shareholder requests redemption of shares which were purchased recently,
the Fund may delay payment until it is assured that good payment has been re-
ceived. In the case of purchases by check, this can take up to 15 days.
Because the Fund incurs certain fixed costs in maintaining shareholder ac-
counts, the Fund reserves the right to redeem all Fund shares in any share-
holder account of less than $500 net asset value. If the Fund elects to do so,
it will notify the shareholder and provide the shareholder the opportunity to
increase the amount invested to $500 or more within 60 days of the notice. The
Fund will not redeem accounts that fall below $500 solely as a result of a re-
duction in net asset value per share.
Shareholders who have redeemed Class A shares may reinstate their Fund ac-
count without a sales charge up to the dollar amount redeemed by purchasing
Class A Fund shares within 365 days of the redemption. To take advantage of
this reinstatement privilege, share
20
<PAGE>
holders must notify their PaineWebber investment executive or correspondent
firm at the time the privilege is exercised.
CONVERSION OF CLASS B SHARES
A shareholder's Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares
approximately six years after the date of issuance, together with a pro rata
portion of all Class B shares representing dividends and other distributions
paid in additional Class B shares. The Class B shares so converted will no
longer be subject to the higher expenses borne by Class B shares. The conver-
sion will be effected at the relative net asset values per share of the two
Classes on the first Business Day of the month in which the sixth anniversary
of the issuance of the Class B shares occurs. If a shareholder effects one or
more exchanges among Class B shares of the PaineWebber mutual funds during the
six-year period, the holding periods for the shares so exchanged will be
counted toward the six-year period.
OTHER SERVICES AND INFORMATION
Investors interested in the services described below should consult their
PaineWebber investment executives or correspondent firms or call the Transfer
Agent toll-free at 1-800-647-1568.
AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN. Shareholders may purchase Fund shares through an
automatic investment plan, under which an amount specified by the shareholder
of $50 or more each month will be sent to the Transfer Agent from the share-
holder's bank for investment 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." When
under the plan a shareholder invests the same dollar amount each month, the
shareholder will purchase more shares when the Fund's net asset value per share
is low and fewer shares when the net asset value per share is high. Using this
technique, a shareholder's average purchase price per share over any given pe-
riod will be lower than if the shareholder purchased a fixed number of shares
on a monthly basis during the period.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN. Shareholders who own Class A or Class D shares
with a value of $5,000 or more or Class B shares with a value of $20,000 or
more may have PaineWebber redeem a portion of their shares monthly, quarterly
or semi-annually under the systematic withdrawal plan. No contingent deferred
sales charge will be imposed on such withdrawals for Class B shares. The mini-
mum amount for all withdrawals of Class A or Class D shares is $100, and mini-
mum monthly, quarterly and semi-annual withdrawal amounts for Class B shares
are $200, $400 and $600, respectively. Quarterly withdrawals are made in March,
June, September and December, and semi-annual withdrawals are made in June and
December. A Class B shareholder may not withdraw an amount exceeding 12% annu-
ally of his or her "Initial Account Balance," a term that means the value of
the Fund account at the time the shareholder elects to participate in the sys-
tematic withdrawal plan. A Class B shareholder's participation in the system-
atic withdrawal plan will terminate automatically if the Initial Account Bal-
ance (plus the net asset value on the date of purchase of Fund shares acquired
after the election to participate in the systematic withdrawal plan), less ag-
gregate redemptions made other than pursuant to the systematic withdrawal plan,
is less than $20,000. Shareholders who receive dividends or other distributions
in cash may not participate in the Fund's systematic withdrawal plan. Purchases
of additional Fund shares concurrent with withdrawals are ordinarily disadvan-
tageous to
21
<PAGE>
shareholders because of tax liabilities and, for Class A shares, sales charges.
INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS. Shares of the Fund may be purchased through
IRAs available through the Fund. In addition, a Self-Directed IRA is available
through PaineWebber under which investments may be made in the Fund as well as
in other investments available through PaineWebber. Investors considering es-
tablishing an IRA should review applicable tax laws and should consult their
tax advisers.
TRANSFER OF ACCOUNTS. If a shareholder holding Fund shares in a PaineWebber
brokerage account transfers his brokerage account to another firm, the Fund
shares normally will be transferred to an account with the Transfer Agent. How-
ever, 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.
DIVIDENDS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS. The Fund pays monthly dividends from its net investment income. In
addition, the Fund may (but is not required to) distribute with any dividend
all or a portion of any net realized gains from foreign currency transactions.
The Fund distributes annually substantially all of its net capital gain (the
excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) and net
short-term capital gain, if any, together with any undistributed net realized
gains from foreign currency transactions. The Fund may make additional distri-
butions if necessary to avoid a 4% excise tax on certain undistributed income
and capital gain. While the Fund will not declare any distribution in excess of
the amount of net investment income and net realized gains from foreign cur-
rency transactions available for distribution at the time of declaration, it is
possible that net losses from foreign currency transactions after that time
could convert a portion of such a distribution to a non-taxable return of capi-
tal. Dividends and other distributions paid on all Classes of Fund shares are
calculated at the same time and in the same manner. Dividends on Class B and
Class D shares are expected to be lower than those on Class A shares because of
the higher expenses resulting from distribution fees borne by the Class B and
Class D shares. Dividends on each Class also might be affected differently by
the allocation of other Class-specific expenses. See "Valuation of Shares."
Dividends and other distributions are paid in additional Fund shares of the
same Class at net asset value unless the shareholder has requested cash pay-
ments. Shareholders who wish to receive dividends and/or capital gain distribu-
tions in cash, either mailed to the shareholder by check or credited to the
shareholder's PaineWebber account, should contact their PaineWebber investment
executives or correspondent firms or complete the appropriate section of the
application form.
TAXES. The Fund intends to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated
investment company under the Internal Revenue Code so that it will be relieved
of federal income tax on that part of its investment company taxable income
(consisting generally of net investment income, net gains from certain foreign
currency transactions and net short-term capital gain) and net capital gain
that is distributed to its shareholders.
Dividends from the Fund's investment company taxable income (whether paid in
cash or in additional Fund shares) generally are taxable to its shareholders as
ordinary income. Distributions of the Fund's net capital gain (whether paid in
cash or in additional Fund shares) are taxable to its shareholders as long-term
capital gain, regardless of how long they
22
<PAGE>
have held their Fund shares. Shareholders not subject to tax on their income
generally will not be required to pay taxes on amounts distributed to them.
The Fund notifies its shareholders following the end of each calendar year
of the amounts of dividends and capital gain distributions paid (or deemed
paid) that year and of any portion of those dividends that qualifies for the
corporate dividends-received deduction. Under certain circumstances, the no-
tice also will specify the shareholder's share of any foreign taxes paid by
the Fund, in which event the shareholder would be required to include in his
gross income his pro rata share of those taxes, but might be entitled to claim
a credit or deduction for those taxes.
The Fund is required to withhold 31% of all dividends, capital gain distri-
butions and redemption proceeds payable to any individuals and certain other
noncorporate shareholders who do not provide the Fund with a correct taxpayer
identification number. Withholding at that rate also is required from divi-
dends and capital gain distributions payable to those shareholders who other-
wise are subject to backup withholding.
A redemption of Fund shares may result in taxable gain or loss to the re-
deeming shareholder, depending upon whether the redemption proceeds payable to
the shareholder are more or less than the shareholder's adjusted basis for the
redeemed shares (which normally includes any initial sales charge paid on
Class A shares). An exchange of Fund shares for shares of another PaineWebber
or MH/KP fund generally will have similar tax consequences. However, special
tax rules apply when a shareholder (1) disposes of Class A shares through a
redemption or exchange within 90 days of purchase and (2) subsequently ac-
quires Class A shares of a PaineWebber or MH/KP fund (including the Fund)
without paying a sales charge due to the 365-day reinstatement privilege or
the exchange privilege. In these cases, any gain on the disposition of the
original Class A shares will be increased, or loss decreased, by the amount of
the sales charge paid when those shares were acquired, and that amount will
increase the basis of the PaineWebber fund shares subsequently acquired. In
addition, if Fund shares are purchased within 30 days before or after redeem-
ing Fund shares (regardless of Class) at a loss, all or a portion of the loss
will not be deductible and will increase the basis of the newly purchased
shares.
No gain or loss will be recognized to a shareholder as a result of a conver-
sion of Class B shares into Class A shares.
The foregoing is only a summary of some of the important federal tax consid-
erations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders; see the Statement
of Additional Information for a further discussion. There may be other feder-
al, state or local tax considerations applicable to a particular investor.
Prospective shareholders are therefore urged to consult their tax advisers.
VALUATION OF SHARES
The net asset value of the Fund's shares fluctuates and is determined sepa-
rately for each Class as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (cur-
rently 4:00 p.m., eastern time) each Business Day. Net asset value per share
is computed by dividing the value of the securities held by the Fund plus any
cash or other assets minus all liabilities by the total number of Fund shares
outstanding.
The Fund values its assets based on their current market value when market
quotations are readily available. If such value cannot be established, assets
are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction
of the Trust's board of trustees. The amor-
23
<PAGE>
tized cost method of valuation generally is used to value debt obligations with
60 days or less remaining to maturity, unless the board of trustees determines
that this does not represent fair value. All investments denominated in a for-
eign currency are valued daily in U.S. dollars based on the then-prevailing ex-
change rate.
MANAGEMENT
The Trust's board of trustees, as part of its overall management responsibil-
ity, oversees various organizations responsible for the Fund's day-to-day man-
agement. Mitchell Hutchins, the Fund's investment adviser and administrator,
makes and implements all investment decisions and supervises all aspects of the
Fund's operations. Mitchell Hutchins receives a monthly fee for these services
at the annual rate of 0.70% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Brokerage
transactions for the Fund may be conducted through PaineWebber or its affili-
ates in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trust's board of trustees.
The Fund also pays PaineWebber an annual fee of $4.00 per active shareholder
account held at PaineWebber for certain services not provided by the Transfer
Agent. The Fund incurs other expenses and, for the fiscal year ended November
30, 1994, the Fund's total expenses for its Class A, Class B and Class D
shares, stated as a percentage of average net assets were 1.58%, 2.33% and
2.32%, respectively.
Mitchell Hutchins is located at 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New
York 10019. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of PaineWebber, which is in turn a
wholly owned subsidiary of PaineWebber Group Inc., a publicly owned financial
services holding company. As of February 28, 1995, Mitchell Hutchins was ad-
viser or sub-adviser of 42 investment companies with 77 separate portfolios and
aggregate assets of over $26.8 billion.
Ellen R. Harris and Karen L. Finkel are primarily responsible for the day-to-
day management of the Fund's equity securities and jointly determine the allo-
cation of Fund assets between equity and debt securities. Ms. Harris has been a
portfolio manager of the Fund since December 1994 and is a vice president of
the Trust and chief domestic equity strategist and a managing director of
Mitchell Hutchins. She has been employed by Mitchell Hutchins as a portfolio
manager since 1983. Ms. Finkel has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since
March 1995 and is a first vice president of Mitchell Hutchins. She has been em-
ployed by Mitchell Hutchins as a portfolio manager since 1988.
Mary B. King has been primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of
the Fund's debt securities since March 1995 and is a vice president of the
Trust. Mrs. King is a first vice president of Mitchell Hutchins. She has been
employed by Mitchell Hutchins since 1985.
Other members of Mitchell Hutchins' international equities and fixed income
groups provide input on market outlook, interest rate forecasts and other con-
siderations pertaining to global equity and fixed income investments.
DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS. Mitchell Hutchins is the distributor of Fund
shares and has appointed PaineWebber as the exclusive dealer for the sale of
Fund shares. Under sepa- rate distribution plans pertaining to the Class A
shares, Class B shares and Class D shares ("Class A Plan," "Class B Plan" and
"Class D Plan," collectively, "Plans"), the Fund pays Mitchell Hutchins a
monthly service fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets
of each Class of shares and a monthly distribution fee at the annual rate of
0.75% of the average daily net assets of the Class B and Class D shares.
24
<PAGE>
Under all three Plans, Mitchell Hutchins uses the service fees primarily to
pay PaineWebber for shareholder servicing, currently at the annual rate of
0.25% of the aggregate investment amounts maintained in the Fund by PaineWebber
clients. PaineWebber passes on a portion of these fees to its investment execu-
tives to compensate them for shareholder servicing that they perform, and re-
tains the remainder to offset its own expenses in servicing and maintaining
shareholder accounts. These expenses may include costs of the PaineWebber
branch office in which the investment executive is based, such as rent, commu-
nications equipment, employee salaries and other overhead costs.
Mitchell Hutchins uses the distribution fees under the Class B and Class D
Plans to offset the commissions it pays to PaineWebber for selling Class B and
Class D shares. PaineWebber passes on to its investment executives a portion of
these commissions and retains the remainder to offset its expenses in selling
Class B and Class D shares. These expenses may include the branch office costs
noted above. In addition, Mitchell Hutchins uses the distribution fees under
the Class B and Class D Plans, respectively, to offset the Fund's marketing
costs attributable to such Classes, such as preparation of sales literature,
advertising and printing and distributing prospectuses and other shareholder
materials to prospective investors. Mitchell Hutchins also may use the distri-
bution fees to pay additional com- pensation to PaineWebber and other costs al-
located to Mitchell Hutchins' and PaineWebber's distribution activities, in-
cluding employee salaries, bonuses and other overhead expenses.
Mitchell Hutchins expects that, from time to time, PaineWebber will pay
shareholder servicing fees and sales commissions to its investment executives
at the time of sale of Class D shares of the Fund. If PaineWebber makes such
payments, it will retain the service and distribution fees on Class D shares
until it has been reimbursed and thereafter will pass a portion of the service
and distribution fees on Class D shares on to its investment executives.
Mitchell Hutchins receives the proceeds of the initial sales charge paid upon
the purchase of Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charge paid
upon certain redemptions of Class B shares and may use the proceeds for any of
the distribution expenses described above. See "Purchases."
During the period they are in effect, the Plans and related distribution con-
tracts pertaining to each Class of shares ("Distribution Contracts") obligate
the Fund to pay service and distribution fees to Mitchell Hutchins as compensa-
tion for its service and distribution activities, not as reimbursement for spe-
cific expenses incurred. Thus, even if Mitchell Hutchins' expenses exceed its
service and distribution fees, the Fund will not be obligated to pay more than
those fees, and, if Mitchell Hutchins' expenses are less than such fees, it
will retain its full fees and realize a profit. The Fund will pay the service
and distribution fees to Mitchell Hutchins until either the applicable Plan or
Distribution Contract is terminated or not renewed. In that event, Mitchell
Hutchins' expenses in excess of service and distribution fees received or ac-
crued through the termination date will be Mitchell Hutchins' sole responsibil-
ity and not obligations of the Fund. In their annual consideration of the con-
tinuance of each Plan, the trustees will review the Plan and Mitchell Hutchins'
corresponding expenses for each Class separately from the Plans and correspond-
ing expenses for the two other Classes.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The Fund performs a standardized computation of annualized total return and
may show
25
<PAGE>
this return in advertisements or promotional materials. Standardized return
shows the change in value of an investment in the Fund as a steady compound an-
nual rate of return. Actual year-by-year returns fluctuate and may be higher or
lower than standardized return. Standardized return for the Class A shares re-
flects deduction of the maximum initial sales charge at the time of purchase,
and standardized return for the Class B shares reflects deduction of the appli-
cable contingent deferred sales charge imposed on a redemption of shares held
for the period. One-, five-and ten-year periods will be shown, unless the Class
has been in existence for a shorter period. Total return calculations assume
reinvestment of dividends and other distributions.
The Fund may use other total return presentations in conjunction with stan-
dardized 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 included.
The Fund also may advertise its yield. Yield reflects investment income net
of expenses over a 30-day (or one-month) period on a Fund share, expressed as
an annualized percentage of the maximum offering price per share for Class A
shares and the net asset value per share for Class B and Class D shares at the
end of the period. Yield computations differ from other accounting methods and
therefore may differ from dividends actually paid or reported net income.
The Fund will include performance data for all three Classes of shares in any
advertisements or promotional materials including Fund performance data. Total
return and yield information reflects past performance and does not necessarily
indicate future results. Investment return and principal values will fluctuate,
and proceeds upon redemption may be more or less than a shareholder's cost.
GENERAL INFORMATION
ORGANIZATION. PaineWebber Managed Investments Trust is registered with the
SEC as an open-end management investment company and was organized as a Massa-
chusetts business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by
Declaration of Trust dated November 21, 1986. The trustees have authority to
issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series,
par value $.001 per share. In addition to the Fund, shares of five other series
have been authorized.
The shares of beneficial interest of the Fund are divided into three Classes,
designated Class A shares, Class B shares and Class D shares. Each Class repre-
sents interests in the same assets of the Fund. The Classes differ in that (1)
each Class has exclusive voting rights on matters pertaining to its plan of
distribution, (2) Class A shares are subject to an initial sales charge, (3)
Class B shares bear ongoing distribution fees, are subject to a contingent de-
ferred sales charge upon certain redemptions and will automatically convert to
Class A shares approximately six years after issuance, (4) Class D shares are
subject to neither an initial nor a contingent deferred sales charge, bear on-
going distribution fees and do not convert into another Class and (5) each
Class may bear differing amounts of certain Class-specific expenses. The
Trust's board of trustees does not anticipate that there will be any conflicts
among the interests of the holders of the different Classes of Fund shares. On
an ongoing basis, the board of trustees will consider whether any such conflict
exists and, if so, take appropriate action.
The Trust does not hold annual shareholder meetings. There normally will be
no
26
<PAGE>
meetings of shareholders to elect trustees unless fewer than a majority of the
trustees holding office have been elected by shareholders. Shareholders of rec-
ord holding at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Trust may re-
move a trustee by votes cast in person or by proxy at a meeting called for that
purpose. The trustees are required to call a meeting of shareholders for the
purpose of voting upon the question of removal of any trustee when so requested
in writing by the shareholders of record holding at least 10% of the Trust's
outstanding shares. Each share of the Fund has equal voting rights, except as
noted above. Each share of the Fund is entitled to participate equally in divi-
dends and other distributions and the proceeds of any liquidation except that,
due to the differing expenses borne by the three Classes, these dividends and
proceeds for the Class B and Class D shares are likely to be lower than for the
Class A shares. The shares of each series of the Trust will be voted separately
except when an aggregate vote of all series is required by the Investment Com-
pany Act of 1940 ("1940 Act").
To avoid additional operating costs and for investor convenience, the Fund
does not issue share certificates. Ownership of Fund shares is recorded on a
stock register by the Transfer Agent and shareholders have the same rights of
ownership with respect to such shares as if certificates had been issued.
CUSTODIAN AND TRANSFER AGENT. State Street Bank and Trust Company, One Heri-
tage Drive, North Quincy, Massachusetts 02171 is custodian of the Fund's assets
and employs foreign sub-custodians, approved by the Trust's board of trustees
in accordance with applicable requirements under the 1940 Act, to provide cus-
tody of the Fund's foreign assets. PFPC Inc., a subsidiary of PNC Bank, Na-
tional Association, whose principal business address is 400 Bellevue Parkway,
Wilmington, Delaware 19809, is the Fund's transfer and dividend disbursing
agent.
CONFIRMATIONS AND STATEMENTS. Shareholders receive confirmations of purchases
and redemptions of Fund shares. PaineWebber clients receive statements at least
quarterly that report their Fund activity and consolidated year-end statements
that show all Fund transactions for that year. Shareholders who are not
PaineWebber clients receive quarterly statements from the Transfer Agent.
Shareholders also receive audited annual and unaudited semi-annual financial
statements of the Fund.

APPENDIX
The Fund may use the following hedging instruments:
OPTIONS ON EQUITY AND DEBT SECURITIES AND FOREIGN CURRENCIES--A call option
is a short-term contract pursuant to which the purchaser of the option, in re-
turn for a premium, has the right to buy the security or currency underlying
the option at a specified price at any time during the term of the option. The
writer of the call option, who receives the premium, has the obligation, upon
exercise of the option during the option term, to deliver the underlying secu-
rity or currency against payment of the exercise price. A put option is a simi-
lar contract that gives its purchaser, in return for a premium, the right to
sell the underlying security or currency at a specified price during the option
term. The writer of the put option, who receives the premium, has the obliga-
tion, upon exercise of the option during the option term, to buy the underlying
security or currency at the exercise price.
OPTIONS ON STOCK AND DEBT SECURITY INDICES--A stock or debt security index
assigns relative values to the securities included in the index and fluctuates
with changes in the market values of those securities. A stock or debt security
index option operates in the same way as a more traditional option on a securi-
ty, except that exercise of a stock or debt security index option is effected
with cash payment and does not involve delivery of securities. Thus, upon exer-
cise of a stock or debt security index option, the purchaser will realize, and
the writer will pay, an amount based on the difference between the exercise
price and the closing price of the index.
STOCK AND DEBT SECURITY INDEX FUTURES CONTRACTS--A stock or debt security in-
dex futures contract is a bilateral agreement pursuant to which one party
agrees to accept, and the other party agrees to make, delivery of an amount of
cash equal to a specified dollar amount times the difference between the index
value at the close of trading of the contract and the price at which the
futures contract is originally struck. No physical delivery of the securities
comprising the index is made. Generally, contracts are closed out prior to the
expiration date of the contract.
INTEREST RATE AND FOREIGN CURRENCY FUTURES CONTRACTS--Interest rate and for-
eign currency futures contracts are bilateral agreements pursuant to which one
party agrees to make, and the other party agrees to accept, delivery of a spec-
ified type of debt security or currency at a specified future time and at a
specified price. Although such futures contracts by their terms call for actual
delivery or acceptance of debt securities or currency, in most cases the con-
tracts are closed out before the settlement date without the making or taking
of delivery.
OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS--Options on futures contracts are similar to op-
tions on securities or currency, except that an option on a futures contract
gives the purchaser the right, in return for the premium, to assume a position
in a futures contract (a long position if the option is a call and a short po-
sition if the option is a put), rather than to purchase or sell a security or
currency, at a specified price at any time during the option term. Upon exer-
cise of the option, the delivery of the futures position to the holder of the
option will be accompanied by delivery of the accumulated balance that repre-
sents the amount by which the market price of the futures contract exceeds, in
the case of a call, or is less than, in the case of a put, the exercise price
of the option on the future. The writer of an option, upon exercise, will as-
sume a short position in the case of a call and a long position in the case of
a put.
FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS--A forward currency contract involves an obliga-
tion to purchase or sell a specific currency at a specified future date, which
may be any fixed number of days from the contract date agreed upon by the par-
ties, at a price set at the time the contract is entered into.

PAINEWEBBER UTILITY INCOME FUND
1285 AVENUE OF THE AMERICAS
NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10019
STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
PaineWebber Utility Income Fund ("Fund") is a diversified series of a
professionally managed open-end investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust ("Trust"). The Fund seeks to provide current income and capital
appreciation and invests primarily in income-producing equity and debt
securities of domestic and foreign companies in the utility industries.
Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of PaineWebber Incorporated ("PaineWebber"), is the investment
adviser, administrator and distributor of the Fund. As distributor for the
Fund, Mitchell Hutchins has appointed PaineWebber to serve as the exclusive
dealer for the sale of Fund shares. This Statement of Additional Information is
not a prospectus and should be read only in conjunction with the Fund's current
Prospectus, dated April 1, 1995. A copy of the Prospectus may be obtained by
calling any PaineWebber investment executive or correspondent firm or by
calling toll-free 1-800-647-1568. This Statement of Additional Information is
dated April 1, 1995.
INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
The following supplements the information contained in the Prospectus
concerning the Fund's investment policies and limitations.
UTILITY INDUSTRIES--DESCRIPTION AND RISK FACTORS. Utility companies in the
United States and in foreign countries are generally subject to regulation. In
the United States, most utility companies are regulated by state and/or federal
authorities. Such regulation is intended to ensure appropriate standards of
service and adequate capacity to meet public demand. Prices are also regulated,
with the intention of protecting the public while ensuring that the rate of
return earned by utility companies is sufficient to allow them to attract
capital in order to grow and continue to provide appropriate services. There
can be no assurance that such pricing policies or rates of return will continue
in the future.
The nature of regulation of utility industries is evolving both in the United
States and in foreign countries. Changes in regulation in the United States
increasingly allow utility companies to provide services and products outside
their traditional geographic areas and lines of business, creating new areas of
competition within the industries. Although certain companies may develop more
profitable opportunities, others may be forced to defend their core businesses
and may be less profitable.
<PAGE>
The regulation of foreign utility companies may or may not be comparable to
that in the United States. Foreign regulatory systems vary from country to
country, and may evolve in ways different from regulation in the United States.
The Fund's investment policies are designed to enable it to capitalize on
evolving investment opportunities throughout the world. For example, the rapid
growth of certain foreign economies will necessitate expansion of capacity in
the utility industries in those countries. Although many foreign utility
companies currently are government-owned, thereby limiting current investment
opportunities for the Fund, Mitchell Hutchins believes that, in order to
attract significant capital for growth, foreign governments may seek global
investors through the privatization of their utility industries. Privatization,
which refers to the trend toward investor ownership of assets rather than
government ownership, is expected to occur in newer, faster-growing economies
and also in more mature economies. In addition, the economic unification of
European markets may improve economic growth, reduce costs and increase
competition in Europe, which will result in opportunities for investment by the
Fund in European utility industries. Of course, there is no assurance that such
favorable developments will occur or that investment opportunities in foreign
markets for the Fund will increase.
The revenues of domestic and foreign utility companies generally reflect the
economic growth and developments in the geographic areas in which they do
business. Mitchell Hutchins takes into account anticipated economic growth
rates and other economic developments when selecting securities of utility
companies. Further descriptions of specific segments within the global utility
industries are set forth below.
Electric. The electric utility industry consists of companies that are
engaged principally in the generation, transmission and sale of electric
energy, although many also provide other energy-related services. Domestic
electric utility companies in general recently have been favorably affected by
lower fuel and financing costs and the full or near completion of major
construction programs. In addition, many of these companies recently have
generated cash flows in excess of current operating expenses and construction
expenditures, permitting some degree of diversification into unregulated
businesses. Some electric utilities have also taken advantage of the right to
sell power outside of their traditional geographic areas. Electric utility
companies have historically been subject to the risks associated with increases
in fuel and other operating costs, high interest costs on borrowings needed for
capital construction programs, costs associated with compliance with
environmental, nuclear facility and other safety regulations and changes in the
regulatory climate. For example, in the United States, the construction and
operation of nuclear power facilities is subject to increased scrutiny by, and
evolving regulations of, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Increased scrutiny
might result in higher operating costs and higher capital expenditures, with
the risk that regulators may disallow inclusion of these costs in rate
authorizations.
Telecommunications. The telephone communications industry is a distinct
utility industry segment that is subject to different risks and opportunities.
Companies that provide telephone services and access to the telephone networks
comprise the largest portion of this segment. The telephone industry is large
and highly concentrated. Telephone companies in the United States are
2
<PAGE>
still experiencing the effects of the break-up of American Telephone &
Telegraph Company, which occurred in 1984. Since that date the number of local
and long-distance companies and the competition among such companies has
increased. In addition, since 1984, companies engaged in telephone
communication services have expanded their nonregulated activities into other
businesses, including cellular telephone services, data processing, equipment
retailing and software services. This expansion has provided significant
opportunities for certain telephone companies to increase their earnings and
dividends at faster rates than have been allowed in traditional regulated
businesses. Increasing competition and other structural changes, however, could
adversely affect the profitability of such utilities.
Gas. Gas transmission companies and gas distribution companies are also
undergoing significant changes. In the United States, interstate transmission
companies are regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which is
reducing its regulation of the industry. Many companies have diversified into
oil and gas exploration and development, making returns more sensitive to
energy prices. In the recent decade, gas utility companies have been adversely
affected by disruption in the oil industry and have also been affected by
increased concentration and competition.
Water. Water supply utilities are companies that collect, purify, distribute
and sell water. In the United States and around the world, the industry is
highly fragmented, because most of the supplies are owned by local authorities.
Companies in this industry are generally mature and are experiencing little or
no per capita volume growth. Mitchell Hutchins believes that favorable
investment opportunities may result from consolidation within this industry.
There can be no assurance that the positive developments noted above,
including those relating to business growth and changing regulation, will occur
or that risk factors other than those noted above will not develop in the
future.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO FOREIGN SECURITIES. Many of the foreign
securities held by the Fund are not registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"), nor are the issuers thereof subject to its reporting
requirements. Accordingly, there may be less publicly available information
concerning foreign issuers of securities held by the Fund than is available
concerning U.S. companies. Foreign companies are not generally subject to
uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards or to other
regulatory requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies.
In addition to purchasing securities of foreign issuers in foreign markets,
the Fund may invest in American Depository Receipts ("ADRs"), European
Depository Receipts ("EDRs") or other securities convertible into securities of
corporations based in foreign countries. These securities may not necessarily
be denominated in the same currency as the securities into which they may be
converted. Generally, ADRs, in registered form, are denominated in U.S. dollars
and are designed for use in the U.S. securities markets and EDRs, in bearer
form, may be denominated in other currencies and are designed for use in
European securities markets. ADRs are receipts typically issued by a U.S. bank
or trust company evidencing ownership of the underlying securities. EDRs are
European receipts evidencing a similar arrangement. For purposes of the Fund's
investment
3
<PAGE>
policies, ADRs and EDRs are deemed to have the same classification as the
underlying securities they represent. Thus, an ADR or EDR evidencing ownership
of common stock will be treated as common stock.
The Fund anticipates that its brokerage transactions involving securities of
companies headquartered in countries other than the United States will be
conducted primarily on the principal exchanges of such countries. Foreign
securities trading practices, including those involving securities settlement
where Fund assets may be released prior to receipt of payment, may expose the
Fund to increased risk in the event of a failed trade or the insolvency of a
foreign broker-dealer. Transactions on foreign exchanges are usually subject to
fixed commissions that are generally higher than negotiated commissions on U.S.
transactions, although the Fund will endeavor to achieve the best net results
in effecting its portfolio transactions. There is generally less government
supervision and regulation of exchanges and brokers in foreign countries than
in the United States.
Investments in foreign government debt securities involve special risks. The
issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment
of the debt may be unable or unwilling to pay interest or repay principal when
due in accordance with the terms of such debt, and the Fund may have limited
legal recourse in the event of default. Foreign government debt securities
differ from debt obligations issued by private entities in that, generally,
remedies for defaults must be pursued in the courts of the defaulting party.
Legal recourse is therefore somewhat limited. Political conditions, especially
a sovereign entity's willingness to meet the terms of its debt obligations, are
of considerable significance. Also there can be no assurance that the holders
of commercial bank loans to the same sovereign entity may not contest payments
to the holders of foreign government debt securities in the event of default
under commercial bank loan agreements.
Investment income on certain foreign securities in which the Fund may invest
may be subject to foreign withholding or other taxes that could reduce the
return on these securities. Tax treaties between the United States and foreign
countries, however, may reduce or eliminate the amount of foreign taxes to
which the Fund would be subject.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS. Although the Fund values its assets daily in
U.S. dollars, it does not intend to convert its holdings of foreign currencies
to U.S. dollars on a daily basis. The Fund's foreign currencies generally will
be held as "foreign currency call accounts" at foreign branches of foreign or
domestic banks. These accounts bear interest at negotiated rates and are
payable upon relatively short demand periods. If a bank became insolvent, the
Fund could suffer a loss of some or all of the amounts deposited. The Fund may
convert foreign currency to U.S. dollars from time to time. Although foreign
exchange dealers generally do not charge a stated commission or fee for
conversion, the prices posted generally include a "spread," which is the
difference between the prices at which the dealers are buying and selling
foreign currencies.
RATINGS OF DEBT OBLIGATIONS. Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"),
Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("S&P") and other nationally recognized or
foreign statistical rating organizations ("SROs") are private organizations
that provide ratings of the credit quality of debt obligations. A description
of the ratings assigned to corporate debt obligations by Moody's and S&P is
included in the Appendix to this Statement of Additional Information. The Fund
may use these ratings in determining whether to purchase, sell or hold a
security. It should be emphasized, however, that
4
<PAGE>
ratings are general and are not absolute standards of quality. Consequently,
securities with the same maturity, interest rate and rating may have different
market prices. Credit ratings attempt to evaluate the safety of principal and
interest payments and do not evaluate the risks of fluctuations in market value
or the risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The rating assigned
to a security by an SRO does not reflect an assessment of the volatility of the
security's market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security.
Also, SROs 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. Subsequent to its purchase by the
Fund, an issue of debt obligations may cease to be rated or its rating may be
reduced below the minimum rating required for purchase by the Fund. Mitchell
Hutchins will consider such an event in determining whether the Fund should
continue to hold the obligation but is not required to dispose of it.
As noted in the Prospectus, the Fund is authorized to invest up to 5% of its
total assets in non-investment grade debt securities--that is, debt securities
that are not rated at the time of purchase within one of the four highest
grades assigned by S&P or Moody's, comparably rated by another SRO or
determined by Mitchell Hutchins to be of comparable quality. Lower rated debt
securities generally offer a higher current yield than that available for
investment grade issues; however, they involve higher risks in that they are
especially subject to adverse changes in general economic conditions and in the
industries in which the issuers are engaged, to changes in the financial
condition of the issuers and to price fluctuations in response to changes in
interest rates. During periods of economic downturn or rising interest rates,
highly leveraged issuers may experience financial stress which could adversely
affect their ability to make payments of interest and principal and increase
the possibility of default. In addition, such issuers may not have more
traditional methods of financing available to them and may be unable to repay
debt at maturity by refinancing. The risk of loss due to default by such
issuers is significantly greater because such securities frequently are
unsecured and subordinated to the prior payment of senior indebtedness.
The market for lower rated debt securities has expanded rapidly in recent
years, and its growth paralleled a long economic expansion. In the past, the
prices of many lower rated debt securities declined substantially, reflecting
an expectation that many issuers of such securities might experience financial
difficulties. As a result, the yields on lower rated debt securities rose
dramatically. However, such higher yields did not reflect the value of the
income stream that holders of such securities expected, but rather the risk
that holders of such securities could lose a substantial portion of their value
as a result of the issuers' financial restructuring or default. There can be no
assurance that such declines will not recur. The market for lower-rated debt
issues generally is thinner and less active than that for higher quality
securities, which may limit the Fund's ability to sell such securities at fair
value in response to changes in the economy or financial markets. Adverse
publicity and investor perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental
analysis, may also decrease the values and liquidity of lower rated securities,
especially in a thinly traded market.
ILLIQUID SECURITIES. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in
illiquid securities. The term "illiquid securities" for this purpose means
securities that cannot be disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course
of business at approximately the amount at which the Fund has valued the
securities and includes, among other things, purchased over-the-counter ("OTC")
options,
5
<PAGE>
repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days and restricted
securities other than those securities Mitchell Hutchins has determined are
liquid pursuant to guidelines established by the Trust's board of trustees. The
assets used as cover for OTC options written by the Fund will be considered
illiquid unless the OTC options are sold to qualified dealers who agree that
the Fund may repurchase any OTC option it writes for a maximum price to be
calculated by a formula set forth in the option agreement. The cover for an OTC
option written subject to this procedure would be considered illiquid only to
the extent that the maximum repurchase price under the formula exceeds the
intrinsic value of the option. Illiquid restricted securities may be sold only
in privately negotiated transactions or in public offerings with respect to
which a registration statement is in effect under the Securities Act of 1933
("1933 Act"). Illiquid securities include those that are subject to
restrictions contained in the securities laws of other countries. However,
securities that are freely marketable in the country where they are principally
traded, but would not be freely marketable in the United States, will not be
considered illiquid. Where registration is required, the Fund may be obligated
to pay all or part of the registration expenses, and a considerable period may
elapse between the time of the decision to sell and the time the Fund may be
permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If,
during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the Fund might
obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to sell.
Not all restricted securities are illiquid. In recent years, a large
institutional market has developed for certain securities that are not
registered under the 1933 Act, including private placements, repurchase
agreements, commercial paper, foreign securities and corporate bonds and notes.
These instruments are often restricted securities because the securities are
sold in transactions not requiring registration. Institutional investors
generally will not seek to sell these instruments to the general public, but
instead will often depend either on an efficient institutional market in which
such unregistered securities can be readily resold or on an issuer's ability to
honor a demand for repayment. Therefore, the fact that there are contractual or
legal restrictions on resale to the general public or certain institutions is
not dispositive of the liquidity of such investments.
Rule 144A under the 1933 Act establishes a "safe harbor" from the
registration requirements of the 1933 Act for resales of certain securities to
qualified institutional buyers. Institutional markets for restricted securities
have developed as a result of Rule 144A, providing both readily ascertainable
values for restricted securities and the ability to liquidate an investment to
satisfy share redemption orders. Such markets include automated systems for the
trading, clearance and settlement of unregistered securities of domestic and
foreign issuers, such as the PORTAL System sponsored by the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. An insufficient number of qualified
institutional buyers interested in purchasing Rule 144A-eligible restricted
securities held by the Fund, however, could affect adversely the marketability
of such portfolio securities, and the Fund might be unable to dispose of such
securities promptly or at favorable prices.
The Trust's board of trustees has delegated the function of making day-to-day
determinations of liquidity to Mitchell Hutchins, pursuant to guidelines
approved by the board. Mitchell Hutchins takes into account a number of factors
in reaching liquidity decisions, including (1) the frequency of trades for the
security, (2) the number of dealers that make quotes for the security, (3) the
number of dealers that have undertaken to make a market in the security, (4)
the number of other potential
6
<PAGE>
purchasers and (5) the nature of the security and how trading is effected
(e.g., the time needed to sell the security, how bids are solicited and the
mechanics of transfer). Mitchell Hutchins monitors the liquidity of restricted
securities in the Fund's portfolio and reports periodically on such decisions
to the board of trustees.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Repurchase agreements are transactions in which the
Fund purchases securities from a bank or recognized securities dealer and
simultaneously commits to resell the securities to the bank or dealer at an
agreed-upon date and price reflecting a market rate of interest unrelated to
the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased securities. The Fund maintains
custody of the underlying securities prior to their repurchase; thus, the
obligation of the bank or dealer to pay the repurchase price on the date agreed
to is, in effect, secured by such securities. If the value of such securities
is less than the repurchase price, plus any agreed-upon additional amount, the
other party to the agreement must provide additional collateral so that at all
times the collateral is at least equal to the repurchase price, plus any
agreed-upon additional amount. The difference between the total amount to be
received upon repurchase of the securities and the price that was paid by the
Fund upon their acquisition is accrued as interest and included in the Fund's
net investment income.
Repurchase agreements carry certain risks not associated with direct
investments in securities, including possible declines in the market value of
the underlying securities and delays and costs to the Fund if the other party
to a repurchase agreement becomes insolvent. The Fund intends to enter into
repurchase agreements only with banks and dealers in transactions believed by
Mitchell Hutchins to present minimum credit risks in accordance with guidelines
established by the Trust's board of trustees. Mitchell Hutchins will review and
monitor the creditworthiness of those institutions under the board's general
supervision.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase
agreements with banks and securities dealers up to an aggregate value of not
more than 5% of its net assets. Such agreements involve the sale of securities
held by the Fund subject to its agreement to repurchase the securities at an
agreed-upon date and price reflecting a market rate of interest. Such
agreements are considered to be borrowings and may be entered into only for
temporary or emergency purposes. While a reverse repurchase agreement is
outstanding, the Fund's custodian segregates assets to cover the amount of the
Fund's obligations under the reverse repurchase agreement. See "Investment
Policies and Restrictions--Segregated Accounts."
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES. A security purchased on a when-
issued or delayed delivery basis is recorded as an asset on the commitment date
and is subject to changes in market value generally based upon changes in the
level of interest rates. Thus, fluctuation in the value of the security from
the time of the commitment date will affect the Fund's net asset value. When
the Fund agrees to purchase securities on a when-issued basis, its custodian
segregates assets to cover the amount of the commitment. See "Investment
Policies and Restrictions--Segregated Accounts." The Fund purchases when-issued
securities only with the intention of taking delivery, but may sell the right
to acquire the security prior to delivery if Mitchell Hutchins deems it
advantageous to do so, which may result in capital gain or loss to the Fund.
7
<PAGE>
CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. As stated in the Prospectus, the Fund may invest in
convertible securities. A convertible security is a bond, debenture, note,
preferred stock or other security that may be converted into or exchanged for a
prescribed amount of common stock of the same or a different issuer within a
particular period of time at a specified price or formula. A convertible
security entitles the holder to receive interest paid or accrued on debt or
dividends paid on preferred stock until the convertible security matures or is
redeemed, converted or exchanged. Convertible securities have unique investment
characteristics in that they generally (1) have higher yields than common
stock, but lower yields than comparable non-convertible securities, (2) are
less subject to fluctuation in value than the underlying stock because they
have fixed income characteristics, and (3) provide the potential for capital
appreciation if the market price of the underlying common stock increases.
While no securities investment is without some risk, investments in convertible
securities generally entail less risk than the issuer's common stock, although
the extent to which such risk is reduced depends in large measure upon the
degree to which the convertible security sells above its value as a fixed
income security.
Before conversion, convertible securities have characteristics similar to
nonconvertible debt securities in that they ordinarily provide a stable stream
of income with generally higher yields than those of common stocks of the same
or similar issuers. Convertible securities rank senior to common stock in a
corporation's capital structure but are usually subordinated to comparable
nonconvertible securities. The value of a convertible security is a function of
its "investment value" (determined by its yield in comparison with the yields
of other securities of comparable maturity and quality that do not have a
conversion privilege) and its "conversion value" (the security's worth, at
market value, if converted into the underlying common stock). The investment
value of a convertible security is influenced by changes in interest rates,
with investment value declining as interest rates increase and increasing as
interest rates decline. The credit standing of the issuer and other factors
also may have an effect on the convertible security's investment value. The
conversion value of a convertible security is determined by the market price of
the underlying common stock. If the conversion value is low relative to the
investment value, the price of the convertible security is governed principally
by its investment value, and generally the conversion value decreases as the
convertible security approaches maturity. To the extent the market price of the
underlying common stock approaches or exceeds the conversion price, the price
of the convertible security will be increasingly influenced by its conversion
value. In addition, a convertible security generally will sell at a premium
over its conversion value determined by the extent to which investors place
value on the right to acquire the underlying common stock while holding a fixed
income security.
LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. Although the Fund has no intention of doing
so during the coming year, it is authorized to lend up to 10% of the total
value of its portfolio securities to broker-dealers or institutional investors
that Mitchell Hutchins deems qualified, but only when the borrower maintains
with the Fund's custodian bank collateral either in cash or money market
instruments, marked to market daily, in an amount at least equal to the market
value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends. In
determining whether to lend securities to a particular broker-dealer or
institutional investor, Mitchell Hutchins will consider, and during the period
of the loan will monitor, all relevant facts and circumstances, including the
creditworthiness of the borrower. The Fund will retain authority to terminate
any loans at any time. The Fund may pay reasonable administrative and custodial
fees in connection with a loan and may pay a negotiated
8
<PAGE>
portion of the interest earned on the cash or money market instruments held as
collateral to the borrower or placing broker. The Fund will receive reasonable
interest on the loan or a flat fee from the borrower and amounts equivalent to
any dividends, interest or other distributions on the securities loaned. The
Fund will regain record ownership of loaned securities to exercise beneficial
rights, such as voting and subscription rights and rights to dividends,
interest or other distributions, when regaining such rights is considered to be
in the Fund's interest.
SEGREGATED ACCOUNTS. When the Fund enters into certain transactions that
involve obligations to make future payments to third parties, including reverse
repurchase agreements or the purchase of securities on a when-issued or delayed
delivery basis, the Fund will maintain with an approved custodian in a
segregated account cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid high-grade
debt securities, marked to market daily, in an amount at least equal to the
Fund's obligation or commitment under such transactions. As described below
under "Hedging and Related Income Strategies," segregated accounts may also be
required in connection with certain transactions involving options or futures
contracts, interest rate protection transactions or forward currency contracts.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS. The Fund may not:
(1) issue senior securities or borrow money, except from banks or through
reverse repurchase agreements for emergency or temporary purposes, and then in
an aggregate amount not in excess of 10% of the value of the Fund's total
assets at the time of such borrowing, provided that the Fund will not purchase
securities while borrowings (including reverse repurchase agreements) in excess
of 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets are outstanding;
(2) purchase securities of any one issuer if as a result more than 5% of the
Fund's total assets would be invested in such issuer or the Fund would own or
hold 10% of the outstanding securities of that issuer, except that up to 25% of
the Fund's total assets may be invested without regard to this limitation and
provided that this limitation does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities;
(3) make an investment in any one industry if the investment would cause the
aggregate value of the Fund's investments in such industry to exceed 25% of the
Fund's total assets, except that U.S. government securities are not subject to
this limitation and except that the Fund, under normal circumstances, will
invest 25% or more of its total assets in utility industries as a group
(utility industries for this purpose consist of companies primarily engaged in
the ownership or operation of facilities used in the generation, transmission
or distribution of electricity, telecommunications, gas or water);
(4) purchase securities on margin, except for short-term credits necessary
for clearance of portfolio transactions, and except that the Fund may make
margin deposits in connection with its use of options, futures contracts and
options on futures contracts;
(5) engage in the business of underwriting securities of other issuers,
except to the extent that, in connection with the disposition of portfolio
securities, the Fund may be deemed an underwriter under federal securities laws
and except that the Fund may write options;

(6) make short sales of securities or maintain a short position, except that
the Fund may (a) make short sales and maintain short positions in connection
with its use of options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts and
forward contracts and (b) sell short "against the box";
(7) Purchase or sell real estate (including real estate limited partnership
interests), provided that the Fund may invest in securities secured by real
estate or interests therein or issued by companies which invest in real estate
or interests therein;
(8) purchase or sell commodities or commodity contracts, except that the Fund
may purchase and sell financial futures contracts, such as interest rate, stock
index, bond index and foreign currency futures contracts and options thereon,
may engage in transactions in foreign currencies and may purchase or sell
options on foreign currencies;
(9) invest in oil, gas or mineral-related programs or leases; or
(10) make loans, except through loans of portfolio securities and except
through repurchase agreements, provided that for purposes of this restriction
the acquisition of publicly distributed bonds, debentures or other corporate
debt securities and investment in government obligations, short-term commercial
paper, certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances shall not be deemed to
be the making of a loan.
The foregoing fundamental investment limitations cannot be changed without
the affirmative vote of the lesser of (1) more than 50% of the outstanding
shares of the Fund or (2) 67% or more of the shares present at a shareholders'
meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares are represented at the
meeting in person or by proxy. If a percentage restriction is adhered to at the
time of an investment or transaction, a later increase or decrease in
percentage resulting from a change in values of portfolio securities or amount
of total assets will not be considered a violation of any of the foregoing
limitations.
The following investment restrictions are non-fundamental and may be changed
by the vote of the Trust's board of trustees without shareholder approval:
(1) the Fund will not purchase or retain the securities of any issuer if, to
the knowledge of the Fund's management, the officers and trustees of the Trust
and the officers and directors of Mitchell Hutchins (each owning beneficially
more than 0.5% of the outstanding securities of the issuer) own in the
aggregate more than 5% of the securities of the issuer;
(2) the Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid
securities, a term which means securities that cannot be disposed of within
seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at
which the Fund has valued the securities and includes, among other things,
repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days;
(3) the Fund will not purchase any security if as a result the Fund would
have more than 5% of its total assets invested in securities of companies which
together with any predecessors have been in continuous operation for less than
three years;
(4) the Fund will not purchase securities of other open-end investment
companies, except in connection with a merger, consolidation, reorganization or
acquisition of assets;
10
<PAGE>
(5) the Fund's investments in warrants, valued at the lower of cost or
market, may not exceed 5% of the value of its net assets, which amount may
include warrants that are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange Inc.
("NYSE") or the American Stock Exchange, Inc., provided that such warrants,
valued at the lower of cost or market, do not exceed 2% of the Fund's net
assets, and further provided that this restriction does not apply to warrants
attached to, or sold as a unit with, other securities. For purposes of this
restriction, the term "warrants" does not include options on debt securities,
bond indices, foreign currencies or futures contracts; and
(6) the Fund will not invest more than 35% of its total assets in debt
securities rated Ba or lower by Moody's or BB or lower by S&P, comparably rated
by another SRO or determined by Mitchell Hutchins to be of comparable quality.
This non-fundamental policy (6) can be changed only upon 30 days' advance
notice to shareholders.
HEDGING AND RELATED INCOME STRATEGIES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF HEDGING STRATEGIES. As discussed in the Prospectus,
Mitchell Hutchins may use a variety of financial instruments ("Hedging
Instruments"), including certain options, futures contracts, options on futures
contracts, to attempt to hedge the Fund's portfolio. The Fund also may use
options and forward currency contracts to attempt to enhance income and may use
stock index futures contracts, bond index futures contracts, interest rate
futures contracts and foreign currency futures contracts (collectively,
"futures contracts" or "futures") and options on futures contracts in other
circumstances permitted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC").
The particular Hedging Instruments used by the Fund are described in the
Appendix to the Prospectus.
Hedging strategies can be broadly categorized as "short hedges" and "long
hedges." A short hedge is a purchase or sale of a Hedging Instrument intended
partially or fully to offset potential declines in the value of one or more
investments held in the Fund's portfolio. Thus, in a short hedge the Fund takes
a position in a Hedging Instrument whose price is expected to move in the
opposite direction of the price of the investment being hedged. For example,
the Fund might purchase a put option on a security to hedge against a potential
decline in the value of that security. If the price of the security declined
below the exercise price of the put, the Fund could exercise the put and thus
limit its loss below the exercise price to the premium paid plus transaction
costs. In the alternative, because the value of the put option can be expected
to increase as the value of the underlying security declines, the Fund might be
able to close out the put option and realize a gain to offset the decline in
the value of the security.
Conversely, a long hedge is a purchase or sale of a Hedging Instrument
intended partially or fully to offset potential increases in the acquisition
cost of one or more investments that the Fund intends to acquire. Thus, in a
long hedge the Fund takes a position in a Hedging Instrument whose price is
expected to move in the same direction as the price of the prospective
investment being hedged. For example, the Fund might purchase a call option on
a security it intends to purchase in order to hedge against an increase in the
cost of the security. If the price of the security increased above the exercise
price of the call, the Fund could exercise the call and thus limit its
acquisition
11
<PAGE>
cost to the exercise price plus the premium paid and transaction costs.
Alternatively, the Fund might be able to offset the price increase by closing
out an appreciated call option and realizing a gain.
The Fund may purchase and write (sell) covered straddles on securities, stock
indices, bond indices or currencies. A long straddle is a combination of a call
and a put option purchased on the same security or on the same futures
contract, where the exercise price of the put is less than or equal to the
exercise price of the call. The Fund might enter into a long straddle when
Mitchell Hutchins believes that it is likely that stock prices, interest rates
or currency exchange rates will be more volatile during the term of the options
than the option pricing implies. A short straddle is a combination of a call
and a put written on the same security where the exercise price of the put is
less than or equal to the exercise price of the call. The Fund might enter into
a short straddle when Mitchell Hutchins believes that it is unlikely that stock
prices, interest rates or currency exchange rates will be as volatile during
the term of the options as the option pricing implies.
Hedging Instruments on securities generally are used to hedge against price
movements in one or more particular securities positions that the Fund owns or
intends to acquire. Hedging Instruments on stock indices, in contrast,
generally are used to hedge against price movements in broad equity market
sectors in which the Fund has invested or expects to invest. Hedging
Instruments on debt securities may be used to hedge either individual
securities or broad fixed income market sectors.
The use of Hedging Instruments is subject to applicable regulations of the
SEC, the several options and futures exchanges upon which they are traded, the
CFTC and various state regulatory authorities. In addition, the Fund's ability
to use Hedging Instruments will be limited by tax considerations. See "Taxes."
In addition to the products, strategies and risks described below and in the
Prospectus, Mitchell Hutchins expects to discover additional opportunities in
connection with options, futures contracts, forward currency contracts and
other hedging techniques. These new opportunities may become available as
Mitchell Hutchins develops new techniques, as regulatory authorities broaden
the range of permitted transactions and as new options, futures contracts,
forward currency contracts or other techniques are developed. Mitchell Hutchins
may utilize these opportunities to the extent that they are consistent with the
Fund's investment objective and permitted by the Fund's investment limitations
and applicable regulatory authorities. The Fund's Prospectus or Statement of
Additional Information will be supplemented to the extent that new products or
techniques involve materially different risks than those described below or in
the Prospectus.
SPECIAL RISKS OF HEDGING STRATEGIES. The use of Hedging Instruments involves
special considerations and risks, as described below. Risks pertaining to
particular Hedging Instruments are described in the sections that follow.
(1) Successful use of most Hedging Instruments depends upon Mitchell
Hutchins' ability to predict movements of the overall securities, currency and
interest rate markets, which requires different skills than predicting changes
in the prices of individual securities. While Mitchell Hutchins is experienced
in the use of Hedging Instruments, there can be no assurance that any
particular hedging strategy adopted will succeed.
12
<PAGE>
(2) There might be imperfect correlation, or even no correlation, between
price movements of a Hedging Instrument and price movements of the investments
being hedged. For example, if the value of a Hedging Instrument used in a short
hedge increased by less than the decline in value of the hedged investment, the
hedge would not be fully successful. Such a lack of correlation might occur due
to factors unrelated to the value of the investments being hedged, such as
speculative or other pressures on the markets in which Hedging Instruments are
traded.
The effectiveness of hedges using Hedging Instruments on indices will depend
on the degree of correlation between price movements in the index and price
movements in the securities being hedged.
(3) Hedging strategies, if successful, can reduce risk of loss by wholly or
partially offsetting the negative effect of unfavorable price movements in the
investments being hedged. However, hedging strategies can also reduce
opportunity for gain by offsetting the positive effect of favorable price
movements in the hedged investments. For example, if the Fund entered in a
short hedge because Mitchell Hutchins projected a decline in the price of a
security in the Fund's portfolio, and the price of that security increased
instead, the gain from that increase might be wholly or partially offset by a
decline in the price of the Hedging Instrument. Moreover, if the price of the
Hedging Instrument declined by more than the increase in the price of the
security, the Fund could suffer a loss. In either such case, the Fund would
have been in a better position had it not hedged at all.
(4) As described below, the Fund might be required to maintain assets as
"cover," maintain segregated accounts or make margin payments when it takes
positions in Hedging Instruments involving obligations to third parties (i.e.,
Hedging Instruments other than purchased options). If the Fund were unable to
close out its positions in such Hedging Instruments, it might be required to
continue to maintain such assets or accounts or make such payments until the
position expired or matured. These requirements might impair the Fund's ability
to sell a portfolio security or make an investment at a time when it would
otherwise be favorable to do so, or require that the Fund sell a portfolio
security at a disadvantageous time. The Fund's ability to close out a position
in a Hedging Instrument prior to expiration or maturity depends on the existence
of a liquid secondary market or, in the absence of such a market, the ability
and willingness of a contra party to enter into a transaction closing out the
position. Therefore, there is no assurance that any hedging position can be
closed out at a time and price that is favorable to the Fund.
COVER FOR HEDGING STRATEGIES. Transactions using Hedging Instruments, other
than purchased options, expose the Fund to an obligation to another party. The
Fund will not enter into any such transactions unless it owns either (1) an
offsetting ("covered") position in securities, currencies or other options,
futures contracts or forward currency contracts or (2) cash and short-term
liquid debt securities, with a value sufficient at all times to cover its
potential obligations to the extent not covered as provided in (1) above. The
Fund will comply with SEC guidelines regarding cover for hedging transactions
and will, if the guidelines so require, set aside cash, U.S. government
securities or other liquid, high-grade debt securities in a segregated account
with its custodian in the prescribed amount.
Assets used as cover or held in a segregated account cannot be sold while the
position in the corresponding Hedging Instrument is open, unless they are
replaced with similar assets. As a result, the commitment of a large portion of
the Fund's assets to cover or segregated accounts could
13
<PAGE>
impede portfolio management or the Fund's ability to meet redemption requests
or other current obligations.
OPTIONS. The Fund may purchase put and call options, or write (sell) covered
put and call options, on equity and debt securities in which it is authorized
to invest, stock indices, bond indices and foreign currencies. The purchase of
call options serves as a long hedge, and the purchase of put options also
serves as a short hedge. Writing covered put options can enable the Fund to
enhance income by reason of the premiums paid by the purchasers of such
options. Writing covered put options serves as a limited long hedge because
increases in the value of the hedged investment would be offset to the extent
of the premium received for writing the option. However, if the market price of
the underlying security declines to less than the exercise price on the option,
minus the premium received, the Fund would expect to suffer a loss. Writing
covered call options also can enable the Fund to enhance income by reason of
the premiums paid for such options. In addition, writing covered call options
serves as a limited short hedge, because declines in the value of the hedged
investment would be offset to the extent of the premium received for writing
the option. However, if the security or currency appreciates to a price higher
than the exercise price of the call option, it can be expected that the option
will be exercised and the Fund will be obligated to sell the security or
currency at less than its market value. The securities or other assets used as
cover for OTC options written by the Fund would be considered illiquid to the
extent described under "Investment Policies and Restrictions--Illiquid
Securities."
The value of an option position will reflect, among other things, the current
market value of the underlying investment, the time remaining until expiration,
the relationship of the exercise price to the market price of the underlying
investment, the historical price volatility of the underlying investment and
general market conditions. Options normally have expiration dates of up to nine
months. Generally, the OTC debt and foreign currency options used by the Fund
are European-style options. This means that the option is only exercisable
immediately prior to its expiration. This is in contrast to American-style
options, which are exercisable at any time prior to the expiration date of the
option. Options that expire unexercised have no value.
The Fund may effectively terminate its right or obligation under an option by
entering into a closing transaction. For example, the Fund may terminate its
obligation under a call or put option that it had written by purchasing an
identical call or put option; this is known as a closing purchase transaction.
Conversely, the Fund may terminate a position in a put or call option it had
purchased by writing an identical put or call option; this is known as a
closing sale transaction. Closing transactions permit the Fund to realize
profits or limit losses on an option position prior to its exercise or
expiration.
The Fund may purchase or write both exchange-traded and OTC options. Exchange
markets for options on debt securities and foreign currencies exist but are
relatively new, and these instruments are primarily traded on the OTC market.
Exchange-traded options in the United States are issued by a clearing
organization affiliated with the exchange on which the option is listed which,
in effect, guarantees completion of every exchange-traded option transaction.
In contrast, OTC options are contracts between the Fund and its contra party
(usually a securities dealer or a bank) with no clearing organization
guarantee. Thus, when the Fund purchases or writes an OTC option,
14
<PAGE>
it relies on the contra party to make or take delivery of the underlying
investment upon exercise of the option. Failure by the contra party to do so
would result in the loss of any premium paid by the Fund as well as the loss of
any expected benefit of the transaction. The Fund will enter into OTC option
transactions only with contra parties that have a net worth of at least $20
million.
The Fund's ability to establish and close out positions in exchange-listed
options depends on the existence of a liquid market. The Fund intends to
purchase or write only those exchange-traded options for which there appears to
be a liquid secondary market. However, there can be no assurance that such a
market will exist at any particular time. Closing transactions can be made for
OTC options only by negotiating directly with the contra party, or by a
transaction in the secondary market if any such market exists. Although the
Fund will enter into OTC options only with contra parties that are expected to
be capable of entering into closing transactions with the Fund, there is no
assurance that the Fund will in fact be able to close out an OTC option
position at a favorable price prior to expiration. In the event of insolvency
of the contra party, the Fund might be unable to close out an OTC option
position at any time prior to its expiration.
If the Fund were unable to effect a closing transaction for an option it had
purchased, it would have to exercise the option to realize any profit. The
inability to enter into a closing purchase transaction for a covered call
option written by the Fund could cause material losses because the Fund would
be unable to sell the investment used as cover for the written option until the
option expires or is exercised.
The Fund may purchase and write put and call options on indices of equity or
debt securities in much the same manner as the more traditional options
discussed above, except the index options may serve as a hedge against overall
fluctuations in the equity or debt securities market (or market sectors) rather
than anticipated increases or decreases in the value of a particular security.
GUIDELINES FOR OPTIONS. The Fund's use of options is governed by the
following guidelines, which can be changed by the Trust's board of trustees
without shareholder vote:
(1)The Fund may purchase a put or call option, including any straddles or
spreads, only if the value of its premium, when aggregated with the premiums on
all other options held by the Fund, does not exceed 5% of the Fund's total
assets.
(2)The aggregate value of securities underlying put options written by the Fund
determined as of the date the put options are written will not exceed 50% of
the Fund's net assets.
(3)The aggregate premiums paid on all options (including options on securities,
foreign currencies and stock and bond indices and options on futures contracts)
purchased by the Fund that are held at any time will not exceed 20% of the
Fund's net assets.
FUTURES. The Fund may purchase and sell stock index futures contracts, bond
index futures contracts, interest rate futures contracts and foreign currency
futures contracts. The Fund may also purchase put and call options, and write
covered put and call options, on futures in which it is allowed to invest. The
purchase of futures or call options thereon can serve as a long hedge, and the
sale of futures or the purchase of put options thereon can serve as a short
hedge. Writing covered call options on futures contracts can serve as a limited
short hedge, using a strategy similar
15
<PAGE>
to that used for writing covered call options on securities or indices.
Similarly, writing covered put options on futures contracts can serve as a
limited long hedge.
The Fund may also write put options on a particular type of futures contract
while at the same time purchasing call options on the same futures contracts in
order synthetically to create a long futures contract position. Such options
would have the same strike prices and expiration dates. The Fund will engage in
this strategy only when it is more advantageous to the Fund than is purchasing
the futures contract.
No price is paid upon entering into a futures contract. Instead, at the
inception of a futures contract the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated
account with its custodian, in the name of the futures broker through whom the
transaction was effected, "initial margin" consisting of cash, U.S. government
securities or other liquid, high-grade debt securities, in an amount generally
equal to 10% or less of the contract value. Margin must also be deposited when
writing an option on a futures contract, in accordance with applicable exchange
rules. Unlike margin in securities transactions, initial margin on futures
contracts does not represent a borrowing, but rather is in the nature of a
performance bond or good-faith deposit that is returned to the Fund at the
termination of the transaction if all contractual obligations have been
satisfied. Under certain circumstances, such as periods of high volatility, the
Fund may be required by an exchange to increase the level of its initial margin
payment, and initial margin requirements might be increased generally in the
future by regulatory action.
Subsequent "variation margin" payments are made to and from the futures
broker daily as the value of the futures position varies, a process known as
"marking to market." Variation margin does not involve borrowing, but rather
represents a daily settlement of the Fund's obligations to or from a futures
broker. When the Fund purchases an option on a future, the premium paid plus
transaction costs is all that is at risk. In contrast, when the Fund purchases
or sells a futures contract or writes a put or call option thereon, it is
subject to daily variation margin calls that could be substantial in the event
of adverse price movements. If the Fund has insufficient cash to meet daily
variation margin requirements, it might need to sell securities at a time when
such sales are disadvantageous.
Holders and writers of futures positions and options on futures can enter
into offsetting closing transactions, similar to closing transactions on
options, by selling or purchasing, respectively, an instrument identical to the
instrument held or written. Positions in futures and options on futures may be
closed only on an exchange or board of trade that provides a secondary market.
The Fund intends to enter into futures transactions only on exchanges or boards
of trade where there appears to be a liquid secondary market. However, there
can be no assurance that such a market will exist for a particular contract at
a particular time.
Under certain circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on
the amount that the price of a future or related option can vary from the
previous day's settlement price; once that limit is reached, no trades may be
made that day at a price beyond the limit. Daily price limits do not limit
potential losses because prices could move to the daily limit for several
consecutive days with little or no trading, thereby preventing liquidation of
unfavorable positions.
16
<PAGE>
If the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures or related options position
due to the absence of a liquid secondary market or the imposition of price
limits, it could incur substantial losses. The Fund would continue to be
subject to market risk with respect to the position. In addition, except in
the case of purchased options, the Fund would continue to be required to make
daily variation margin payments and might be required to maintain the position
being hedged by the future or option or to maintain cash or securities in a
segregated account.
Certain characteristics of the futures market might increase the risk that
movements in the prices of futures contracts or related options might not
correlate perfectly with movements in the prices of the investments being
hedged. For example, all participants in the futures and related options
markets are subject to daily variation margin calls and might be compelled to
liquidate futures or related options positions whose prices are moving
unfavorably to avoid being subject to further calls. These liquidations could
increase price volatility of the instruments and distort the normal price
relationship between the futures or options and the investments being hedged.
Also, because initial margin deposit requirements in the futures market are
less onerous than margin requirements in the securities markets, there might
be increased participation by speculators in the futures markets. This
participation also might cause temporary price distortions. In addition,
activities of large traders in both the futures and securities markets
involving arbitrage, "program trading" and other investment strategies might
result in temporary price distortions.
GUIDELINES FOR FUTURES AND RELATED OPTIONS. The Fund's use of futures and
related options is governed by the following guidelines, which can be changed
by the Trust's board of trustees without shareholder vote:
(1) To the extent the Fund enters into futures contracts, options on futures
positions and options on foreign currencies traded on a commodities exchange
that are not for bona fide hedging purposes (as defined by the CFTC), the
aggregate initial margin and premiums on those positions (excluding the amount
by which options are "in-the-money") may not exceed 5% of the Fund's net
assets.
(2) The aggregate premiums paid on all options (including options on
securities, foreign currencies and stock and bond indices and options on
futures contracts) purchased by the Fund that are held at any time will not
exceed 20% of the Fund's net assets.
(3) The aggregate margin deposits on all futures contracts and options
thereon held at any time by the Fund will not exceed 5% of the Fund's total
assets.
FOREIGN CURRENCY HEDGING STRATEGIES--SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. The Fund may
use options and futures on foreign currencies, as described above, and forward
currency contracts, as described below, to hedge against movements in the
values of the foreign currencies in which the Fund's securities are
denominated. Such currency hedges can protect against price movements in a
security that the Fund owns or intends to acquire that are attributable to
changes in the value of the currency in which it is denominated. Such hedges
do not, however, protect against price movements in the securities that are
attributable to other causes.
The Fund might seek to hedge against changes in the value of a particular
currency when no Hedging Instruments on that currency are available or such
Hedging Instruments are more expensive than certain other Hedging Instruments.
In such cases, the Fund may hedge against price movements in that currency by
entering into transactions using Hedging Instruments on another
17
<PAGE>
currency or a basket of currencies, the values of which Mitchell Hutchins
believes will have a high degree of positive correlation to the value of the
currency being hedged. The risk that movements in the price of the Hedging
Instrument will not correlate perfectly with movements in the price of the
currency being hedged is magnified when this strategy is used.
The value of Hedging Instruments on foreign currencies depends on the value
of the underlying currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Because foreign
currency transactions occurring in the interbank market might involve
substantially larger amounts than those involved in the use of such Hedging
Instruments, the Fund could be disadvantaged by having to deal in the odd lot
market (generally consisting of transactions of less than $1 million) for the
underlying foreign currencies at prices that are less favorable than for round
lots.
There is no systematic reporting of last sale information for foreign
currencies or any regulatory requirement that quotations available through
dealers or other market sources be firm or revised on a timely basis. Quotation
information generally is representative of very large transactions in the
interbank market and thus might not reflect odd-lot transactions where rates
might be less favorable. The interbank market in foreign currencies is a
global, round-the-clock market. To the extent the U.S. options or futures
markets are closed while the markets for the underlying currencies remain open,
significant price and rate movements might take place in the underlying markets
that cannot be reflected in the markets for the Hedging Instruments until they
reopen.
Settlement of hedging transactions involving foreign currencies might be
required to take place within the country issuing the underlying currency.
Thus, the Fund might be required to accept or make delivery of the underlying
foreign currency in accordance with any U.S. or foreign regulations regarding
the maintenance of foreign banking arrangements by U.S. residents and might be
required to pay any fees, taxes and charges associated with such delivery
assessed in the issuing country.
FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The Fund may enter into forward currency
contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies for a fixed amount of U.S.
dollars or another foreign currency. Such transactions may serve as long
hedges--for example, the Fund may purchase a forward currency contract to lock
in the U.S. dollar price of a security denominated in a foreign currency that
the Fund intends to acquire. Forward currency contract transactions may also
serve as short hedges--for example, the Fund may sell a forward currency
contract to lock in the U.S. dollar equivalent of the proceeds from the
anticipated sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency.
As noted above, the Fund may seek to hedge against changes in the value of a
particular currency by using forward contracts on another foreign currency or a
basket of currencies, the value of which Mitchell Hutchins believes will have a
positive correlation to the values of the currency being hedged. In addition,
the Fund may use forward currency contracts to shift exposure to foreign
currency fluctuations from one country to another. For example, if the Fund
owns securities denominated in a foreign currency and Mitchell Hutchins
believes that currency will decline relative to another currency, it might
enter into a forward contract to sell an appropriate amount of the first
foreign currency, with payment to be made in the second foreign currency.
Transactions that use two foreign currencies are sometimes referred to as
"cross hedging." Use of a different
18
<PAGE>
foreign currency magnifies the risk that movements in the price of the Hedging
Instrument will not correlate or will correlate unfavorably with the foreign
currency being hedged.
The cost to the Fund of engaging in forward currency contracts varies with
factors such as the currency involved, the length of the contract period and
the market conditions then prevailing. Because forward currency contracts are
usually entered into on a principal basis, no fees or commissions are involved.
When the Fund enters into a forward currency contract, it relies on the contra
party to make or take delivery of the underlying currency at the maturity of
the contract. Failure by the contra party to do so would result in the loss of
any expected benefit of the transaction.
As is the case with futures contracts, holders and writers of forward
currency contracts can enter into offsetting closing transactions, similar to
closing transactions on futures, by selling or purchasing, respectively, an
instrument identical to the instrument purchased or sold. Secondary markets
generally do not exist for forward currency contracts, with the result that
closing transactions generally can be made for forward currency contracts only
by negotiating directly with the contra party. Thus, there can be no assurance
that the Fund will in fact be able to close out a forward currency contract at
a favorable price prior to maturity. In addition, in the event of insolvency of
the contra party, the Fund might be unable to close out a forward currency
contract at any time prior to maturity. In either event, the Fund would
continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the position, and would
continue to be required to maintain a position in the securities or currencies
that are the subject of the hedge or to maintain cash or securities in a
segregated account.
The precise matching of forward currency contract amounts and the value of
the securities involved generally will not be possible because the value of
such securities, measured in the foreign currency, will change after the
forward currency contract has been established. Thus, the Fund might need to
purchase or sell foreign currencies in the spot (cash) market to the extent
such foreign currencies are not covered by forward contracts. The projection of
short-term currency market movements is extremely difficult, and the successful
execution of a short-term hedging strategy is highly uncertain.
LIMITATIONS ON THE USE OF FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The Fund may enter into
forward currency contracts or maintain a net exposure to such contracts only if
(1) the consummation of the contracts would not obligate the Fund to deliver an
amount of foreign currency in excess of the value of the position being hedged
by such contracts or (2) the Fund maintains in a segregated account cash, U.S.
government securities or other liquid high-grade debt securities in an amount
not less than the value of its total assets committed to the consummation of
the contract and not covered as provided in (1) above, marked to market daily.
INTEREST RATE PROTECTION TRANSACTIONS. The Fund may enter into interest rate
protection transactions, including interest rate swaps and interest rate caps,
collars and floors. Interest rate swap transactions involve an agreement
between two parties to exchange payments that are based, for example, on
variable and fixed rates of interest and that are calculated on the basis of a
specified amount of principal (the "notional principal amount") for a specified
period of time. Interest rate cap and floor transactions involve an agreement
between two parties in which the first party agrees
19
<PAGE>
to make payments to the counterparty when a designated market interest rate
goes above (in the case of a cap) or below (in the case of a floor) a
designated level on predetermined dates or during a specified time period.
Interest rate collar transactions involve an agreement between two parties in
which payments are made when a designated market interest rate either goes
above a designated ceiling level or goes below a designated floor level on
predetermined dates or during a specified time period. The Fund intends to use
these transactions as a hedge and not as a speculative investment. Interest
rate protection transactions are subject to risks comparable to those described
above with respect to other hedging strategies.
The Fund may enter into interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors on
either an asset-based or liability-based basis, depending on whether it is
hedging its assets or its liabilities, and will usually enter into interest
rate swaps on a net basis, i.e., the two payment streams are netted out, with
the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the
two payments. Inasmuch as these interest rate protection transactions are
entered into for good faith hedging purposes, and inasmuch as segregated
accounts will be established with respect to such transactions, Mitchell
Hutchins and the Fund believe such obligations do not constitute senior
securities and, accordingly, will not treat them as being subject to the Fund's
borrowing restrictions. The net amount of the excess, if any, of the Fund's
obligations over its entitlements with respect to each interest rate swap will
be accrued on a daily basis and appropriate Fund assets having an aggregate net
asset value at least equal to the accrued excess will be maintained in a
segregated account as described above in "Investment Policies and
Restrictions--Segregated Accounts." The Fund also will establish and maintain
such segregated accounts with respect to its total obligations under any
interest rate swaps that are not entered into on a net basis and with respect
to any interest rate caps, collars and floors that are written by the Fund.
The Fund will enter into interest rate protection transactions only with
banks and recognized securities dealers believed by Mitchell Hutchins to
present minimal credit risks in accordance with guidelines established by the
Trust's board of trustees. If there is a default by the other party to such a
transaction, the Fund will have to rely on its contractual remedies (which may
be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws) pursuant to the
agreements related to the transaction.
The swap market has grown substantially in recent years with a large number
of banks and investment banking firms acting both as principals and as agents
utilizing standardized swap documentation. Caps, collars and floors are more
recent innovations for which documentation is less standardized, and
accordingly, they are less liquid than swaps.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS
INVESTMENT ADVISORY ARRANGEMENTS. Mitchell Hutchins acts as the investment
adviser and administrator of the Fund pursuant to a contract with the Trust
dated April 21, 1988, as supplemented by a separate Fee Agreement dated May 1,
1992 ("Advisory Contract"). Under the Advisory Contract, the Trust pays
Mitchell Hutchins an annual fee of 0.70% of the Fund's average net assets,
computed daily and paid monthly.
For the fiscal year ended November 30, 1994 and the period July 2, 1993
(commencement of operations) to November 30, 1993, the Trust paid (or accrued)
to Mitchell Hutchins investment advisory and administration fees of $515,462
and $190,913, respectively.
Under a service agreement, PaineWebber provides certain services to the Fund
not otherwise provided by its transfer agent. The agreement is reviewed by the
Trust's board of trustees annually. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 1994
and the period July 2, 1993 (commencement of operations) to November 30, 1993,
PaineWebber earned fees under the service agreement in the amounts of $28,223
and $10,021, respectively.
Under the terms of the Advisory Contract, the Fund bears all expenses
incurred in its operation that are not specifically assumed by Mitchell
Hutchins. General expenses of the Trust not readily identifiable as belonging
to the Fund or to the Trust's other series are allocated among series by or
under the direction of the board of trustees in such manner as the board deems
to be fair and equitable. Expenses borne by the Fund include the following (or
the Fund's share of the following): (1) the cost (including brokerage
commissions) of securities purchased or sold by the Fund and any losses
incurred in connection therewith; (2) fees payable to and expenses incurred on
behalf of the Fund by Mitchell Hutchins; (3) organizational expenses; (4)
filing fees and expenses relating to the registration and qualification of the
Fund's shares and the Trust under federal and state securities laws and
maintenance of such registrations and qualifications; (5) fees and salaries
payable to trustees who are not interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act)
of the Trust or Mitchell Hutchins; (6) all expenses incurred in connection with
the trustees' services, including travel expenses; (7) taxes (including any
income or franchise taxes) and governmental fees; (8) costs of any liability,
uncollectible items of deposit and other insurance or fidelity bonds; (9) any
costs, expenses or losses
27
<PAGE>
arising out of a liability of or claim for damages or other relief asserted
against the Trust or the Fund for violation of any law; (10) legal, accounting
and auditing expenses, including legal fees of special counsel for the
independent trustees; (11) charges of custodians, transfer agents and other
agents; (12) costs of preparing share certificates; (13) expenses of setting in
type and printing prospectuses and supplements thereto, statements of
additional information and supplements thereto, reports and proxy materials for
existing shareholders, and costs of mailing such materials to shareholders;
(14) any extraordinary expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel)
incurred by the Trust or the Fund; (15) fees, voluntary assessments and other
expenses incurred in connection with membership in investment company
organizations; (16) costs of mailing and tabulating proxies and costs of
meetings of shareholders, the board and any committees thereof; (17) the cost
of investment company literature and other publications provided to trustees
and officers; and (18) costs of mailing, stationery and communications
equipment.
As required by state regulation, Mitchell Hutchins will reimburse the Trust
or the Fund (as applicable) if and to the extent that the aggregate operating
expenses of the Fund exceed applicable limits in any fiscal year. Currently,
the most restrictive such limit applicable to the Fund is 2.5% of the first $30
million of the Fund's average daily net assets, 2.0% of the next $70 million of
its average daily net assets and 1.5% of its average daily net assets in excess
of $100 million. Certain expenses, such as brokerage commissions, taxes,
interest, distribution fees, certain expenses attributable to investing outside
the United States and extraordinary items, are excluded from this limitation.
No reimbursement pursuant to such limitation was required for the fiscal year
ended November 30, 1994 or the period ended November 30, 1993.
Under the Advisory Contract, Mitchell Hutchins will not be liable for any
error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund in
connection with the performance of the Advisory Contract, except a loss
resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part
of Mitchell Hutchins in the performance of its duties or from reckless
disregard of its duties and obligations thereunder. The Advisory Contract
terminates automatically upon its assignment and is terminable at any time
without penalty by the Trust's board of trustees or by vote of the holders of a
majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities, on 60 days' written
notice to Mitchell Hutchins or by Mitchell Hutchins on 60 days' written notice
to the Fund.
The following table shows the approximate net assets as of February 28, 1995,
sorted by category of investment objective, of the investment companies as to
which Mitchell Hutchins serves as adviser or sub-adviser. An investment company

<PAGE>
Hutchins/Kidder, Peabody ("MH/KP") mutual funds and other Mitchell Hutchins'
advisory accounts by all Mitchell Hutchins' directors, officers and employees,
establishes procedures for personal investing and restricts certain
transactions. For example, employee accounts generally must be maintained at
PaineWebber, personal trades in most securities require pre-clearance and
short-term trading and participation in initial public offerings generally are
prohibited. In addition, the code of ethics puts restrictions on the timing of
personal investing in relation to trades by PaineWebber and MH/KP funds and
other Mitchell Hutchins advisory clients.
DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS. Mitchell Hutchins acts as the distributor of the
Class A, Class B and Class D shares of the Fund under separate distribution
contracts with the Trust dated July 7, 1993 (collectively, "Distribution
Contracts") that require Mitchell Hutchins to use its best efforts, consistent
with its other business, to sell shares of the Fund. Shares of the Fund are
offered continuously. Under separate exclusive dealer agreements between
Mitchell Hutchins and Paine Webber dated July 7, 1993 relating to the Class A,
Class B and Class D shares of the Fund (collectively, "Exclusive Dealer
Agreements"), PaineWebber and its correspondent firms sell the Fund's shares.
Under separate plans of distribution pertaining to the Class A, Class B and
Class D shares of the Fund adopted by the Trust in the manner prescribed under
Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act ("Class A Plan," "Class B Plan" and "Class D
Plan," collectively, "Plans"), the Fund pays Mitchell Hutchins a service fee,
accrued daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average
daily net assets of each Class of shares. Under the Class B Plan and the Class
D Plan, the Fund also pays Mitchell Hutchins a distribution fee, accrued daily
and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net
assets of the Class B shares and Class D shares, respectively.
Among other things, each Plan provides that (1) Mitchell Hutchins will submit
to the Trust's board of trustees at least quarterly, and the trustees will
review, reports regarding all amounts expended under the Plan and the purposes
for which such expenditures were made, (2) the Plan will continue in effect
only so long as it is approved at least annually, and any material amendment
thereto is approved, by the Trust's board of trustees, including those trustees
who are not "interested persons" of the Trust and who have no direct or
indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan or any agreement
related to the Plan, acting in person at a meeting called for that purpose, (3)
payments by the Fund under the Plan shall not be materially increased without
the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
the relevant Class and (4) while the Plan remains in effect, the selection and
nomination of trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust shall be
committed to the discretion of the trustees who are not "interested persons" of
the Trust.
In reporting amounts expended under the Plans to the trustees, Mitchell
Hutchins will allocate expenses attributable to the sale of each Class of Fund
shares to such Class based on the ratio of sales of such Class to the sales of
all three Classes of shares. The fees paid by one Class of Fund shares will not
be used to subsidize the sale of any other Class of Fund shares.
For the fiscal year ended November 30, 1994, the Fund paid (or accrued) the
following fees to Mitchell Hutchins under the Plans:

</TABLE>
"Marketing and advertising" includes various internal costs allocated by
Mitchell Hutchins to its efforts in distributing Fund shares. These internal
costs encompass office rent, salaries and other overhead expenses of various
departments and areas of operations of Mitchell Hutchins. "Branch network costs
allocated and interest expense" consist of an allocated portion of the expenses
of various PaineWebber departments involved in the distribution of Fund shares,
including the PaineWebber retail branch system.
In approving the Fund's overall Flexible PricingSM system of distribution,
the Trust's board of trustees considered several factors, including that
implementation of Flexible Pricing would (1) enable investors to choose the
purchasing option better suited to their individual situation, thereby
encouraging current shareholders to make additional investments in the Fund and
attracting new investors and assets to the Fund to the benefit of the Fund and
its shareholders; (2) facilitate distribution of the Fund's shares; and (3)
maintain the competitive position of the Fund in relation to other funds that
have implemented or are seeking to implement similar distribution arrangements.
In approving the Class A Plan for the Fund, the trustees considered all the
features of the distribution system, including (1) the conditions under which
initial sales charges would be imposed and the amount of such charges, (2)
Mitchell Hutchins' belief that the initial sales charge combined with a service
fee would be attractive to PaineWebber investment executives and correspondent
firms, resulting in greater growth of the Fund than might otherwise be the
case, (3) the advantages to the shareholders of economies of scale resulting
from growth in the Fund's assets and potential
30
<PAGE>
continued growth, (4) the services provided to the Fund and its shareholders by
Mitchell Hutchins, (5) the services provided by PaineWebber pursuant to its
Exclusive Dealer Agreement with Mitchell Hutchins and (6) Mitchell Hutchins'
shareholder service-related expenses and costs.
In approving the Class B Plan for the Fund, the trustees considered all the
features of the distribution system, including (1) the conditions under which
contingent deferred sales charges would be imposed and the amount of such
charges, (2) the advantage to investors in having no initial sales charges
deducted from Fund purchase payments and instead having the entire amount of
their purchase payments immediately invested in Fund shares, (3) Mitchell
Hutchins' belief that the ability of PaineWebber investment executives and
correspondent firms to receive sales commissions when Class B shares are sold
and continuing service fees thereafter while their customers invest their
entire purchase payments immediately in Class B shares would prove attractive
to the investment executives and correspondent firms, resulting in greater
growth of the Fund than might otherwise be the case, (4) the advantages to the
shareholders of economies of scale resulting from growth in the Fund's assets
and potential continued growth, (5) the services provided to the Fund and its
shareholders by Mitchell Hutchins, (6) the services provided by PaineWebber
pursuant to its Exclusive Dealer Agreement with Mitchell Hutchins and (7)
Mitchell Hutchins' shareholder service- and distribution-related expenses and
costs. The trustees also recognized that Mitchell Hutchins' willingness to
compensate PaineWebber and its investment executives, without the concomitant
receipt by Mitchell Hutchins of initial sales charges, was conditioned upon its
expectation of being compensated under the Class B Plan.
In approving the Class D Plan for the Fund, the trustees considered all the
features of the distribution system, including (1) the advantage to investors
in having no initial sales charges deducted from the Fund's purchase payments
and instead having the entire amount of their purchase payments immediately
invested in Fund shares, (2) the advantage to investors in being free from
contingent deferred sales charges upon redemption and paying for distribution
on an ongoing basis, (3) Mitchell Hutchins' belief that the ability of
PaineWebber investment executives and correspondent firms to receive sales
compensation for their sales of Class D shares on an ongoing basis, along with
continuing service fees, while their customers invest their entire purchase
payments immediately in Class D shares and do not face contingent deferred
sales charges, would prove attractive to the investment executives and
correspondent firms, resulting in greater growth to the Fund than might
otherwise be the case, (4) the advantages to the shareholders of economies of
scale resulting from growth in the Fund's assets and potential continued
growth, (5) the services provided to the Fund and its shareholders by Mitchell
Hutchins, (6) the services provided by PaineWebber pursuant to its Exclusive
Dealer Agreement with Mitchell Hutchins and (7) Mitchell Hutchins' shareholder
service- and distribution-related expenses and costs. The trustees also
recognized that Mitchell Hutchins' willingness to compensate PaineWebber and
its investment executives without the concomitant receipt by Mitchell Hutchins
of initial sales charges or contingent deferred sales charges upon redemption
was conditioned upon its expectation of being compensated under the Class D
Plan.
With respect to each Plan, the trustees considered all compensation that
Mitchell Hutchins would receive under the Plan and the Distribution Contract,
including service fees and, as applicable, initial sales charges, distribution
fees and contingent deferred sales charges. The trustees
31
<PAGE>
also considered the benefits that would accrue to Mitchell Hutchins under each
Plan in that Mitchell Hutchins would receive service, distribution and advisory
fees that are calculated based upon a percentage of the average net assets of
the Fund, which fees would increase if the Plan were successful and the Fund
attained and maintained significant asset levels.
Under the Distribution Contract between the Trust and Mitchell Hutchins for
the Class A shares and a similar prior distribution contract, for the periods
set forth below, Mitchell Hutchins earned the following approximate amounts of
sales charges and retained the following approximate amounts, net of
concessions to PaineWebber as exclusive dealer.

For the fiscal year ended November 30, 1994, Mitchell Hutchins earned and
retained approximately $302,602 in contingent deferred sales charges paid upon
certain redemptions of Class B shares.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Subject to policies established by the Trust's board of trustees, Mitchell
Hutchins is responsible for the execution of the Fund's portfolio transactions
and the allocation of brokerage transactions. In executing portfolio
transactions, Mitchell Hutchins seeks to obtain the best net results for the
Fund, taking into account such factors as the price (including the applicable
brokerage commission or dealer spread), size of order, difficulty of execution
and operational facilities of the firm involved. Prices paid to dealers in
principal transactions, through which most debt securities and some equity
securities are traded, generally include a "spread," which is the difference
between the prices at which the dealer is willing to purchase and sell a
specific security at the time. The Fund may invest in securities traded in the
OTC market, and will engage primarily in transactions with the dealers who make
markets in those securities, unless a better price or execution could be
obtained by using a broker. While Mitchell Hutchins generally seeks reasonably
competitive commission rates and dealer spreads, payment of the lowest
commission or spread is not necessarily consistent with obtaining the best net
results. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 1994 and the period
July 2, 1993 (commencement of operations) to November 30, 1993, the Fund paid
approximately $185,420 and $107,760, respectively, in brokerage commissions.
The Fund has no obligation to deal with any broker or group of brokers in the
execution of portfolio transactions. The Fund contemplates that, consistent
with the policy of obtaining the best net results, brokerage transactions may
be conducted through Mitchell Hutchins or its affiliates, including
PaineWebber. The Trust's board of trustees has adopted procedures in conformity
with Rule 17e-1 under the 1940 Act to ensure that all brokerage commissions
paid to Mitchell Hutchins and its affiliates are reasonable and fair. Specific
provisions in the Advisory Contract authorize Mitchell Hutchins and any of its
affiliates that is a member of a national securities exchange to effect
portfolio transactions for the Fund on such exchange and to retain compensation
in connection with such transactions. Any such transactions will be effected
and related compensation paid only in
32
<PAGE>
accordance with applicable SEC regulations. For the fiscal year ended November
30, 1994 and the period July 2, 1993 (commencement of operations) to
November 30, 1993, the Fund paid no brokerage commissions to PaineWebber or any
other affiliate of Mitchell Hutchins.
Transactions in futures contracts are executed through futures commission
merchants ("FCMs"), who receive brokerage commissions for their services. The
Fund's procedures in selecting FCMs to execute the Fund's transactions in
futures contracts, including procedures permitting the use of Mitchell Hutchins
and its affiliates, are similar to those in effect with respect to brokerage
transactions in securities.
Consistent with the Fund's interests and subject to the review of the Trust's
board of trustees, Mitchell Hutchins may cause the Fund to purchase and sell
portfolio securities through brokers who provide the Fund with research,
analysis, advice and similar services. In return for such services, the Fund
may pay to those brokers a higher commission than may be charged by other
brokers, provided that Mitchell Hutchins determines in good faith that such
commission is reasonable in terms either of that particular transaction or of
the overall responsibility of Mitchell Hutchins to the Fund and its other
clients and that the total commissions paid by the Fund will be reasonable in
relation to the benefits to the Fund over the long term. Research services
furnished by brokers through which the Fund effects securities transactions may
be used by Mitchell Hutchins in advising other funds or accounts and,
conversely, research services furnished to Mitchell Hutchins by brokers in
connection with other funds or accounts Mitchell Hutchins advises may be used
by Mitchell Hutchins in advising the Fund. Information and research received
from such brokers will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the services
required to be performed by Mitchell Hutchins under the Advisory Contract. For
the fiscal year ended November 30, 1994 and the period July 2, 1993
(commencement of operations) to November 30, 1993, Mitchell Hutchins directed
no portfolio transactions to brokers chosen because they provided research
services. The Fund may purchase and sell portfolio securities to and from
dealers who provide the Fund with research services. Portfolio transactions
will not be directed by the Fund to dealers solely on the basis of research
services provided. The Fund will not purchase portfolio securities at a higher
price or sell such securities at a lower price in connection with transactions
effected with a dealer, acting as principal, who furnishes research services to
Mitchell Hutchins than would be the case if no weight were given by Mitchell
Hutchins to the dealer's furnishing of such services. Research services
furnished by the dealers through which or with which the Fund effects
securities transactions may be used by Mitchell Hutchins in advising other
funds or accounts they advise and, conversely, research services furnished to
Mitchell Hutchins in connection with other funds or accounts that Mitchell
Hutchins advises may be used in advising the Fund.
Investment decisions for the Fund and for other investment accounts managed
by Mitchell Hutchins are made independently of each other in light of differing
considerations for the various accounts. However, the same investment decision
may occasionally be made for the Fund and one or more of such accounts. In such
cases, simultaneous transactions are inevitable. Purchases or sales are then
averaged as to price and allocated between the Fund and such other account(s)
as to amount according to a formula deemed equitable to the Fund and such
account(s). While in some cases this practice could have a detrimental effect
upon the price or value of the security as far as
33
<PAGE>
the Fund is concerned or upon its ability to complete its entire order, in
other cases it is believed that coordination and the ability to participate in
volume transactions will be beneficial to the Fund.
The Fund will not purchase securities that are offered in underwritings in
which Mitchell Hutchins or any of its affiliates is a member of the
underwriting or selling group, except pursuant to procedures adopted by the
Trust's board of trustees pursuant to Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act. Among
other things, these procedures require that the commission or spread paid in
connection with such a purchase be reasonable and fair, that the purchase be at
not more than the public offering price prior to the end of the first business
day after the date of the public offering and that Mitchell Hutchins or any
affiliate thereof not participate in or benefit from the sale to the Fund.
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER. The Fund's portfolio turnover rate may vary greatly from
year to year but it will not be a limiting factor when management deems
portfolio changes appropriate. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated by
dividing the lesser of the Fund's annual sales or purchases of portfolio
securities (exclusive of purchases or sales of securities whose maturities at
the time of acquisition were one year or less) by the monthly average value of
such securities in the portfolio during the year. For the fiscal year ended
November 30, 1994 and the period July 2, 1993 (commencement of operations) to
November 30, 1993, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 91.60% and 13.11%,
respectively.
REDUCED SALES CHARGES, ADDITIONAL EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION
INFORMATION AND OTHER SERVICES
COMBINED PURCHASE PRIVILEGE--CLASS A SHARES. Investors and eligible groups of
related Fund investors may combine purchases of Class A shares of the Fund with
concurrent purchases of Class A shares of any other PaineWebber or MH/KP mutual
fund and thus take advantage of the reduced sales charges indicated in the
table of sales charges for Class A shares in the Prospectus. The sales charge
payable on the purchase of Class A shares of the Fund and Class A shares of
such other funds will be at the rates applicable to the total amount of the
combined concurrent purchases.
An "eligible group of related Fund investors" can consist of any combination
of the following:
(a) an individual, that individual's spouse, parents and children;
(b) an individual and his or her individual retirement account ("IRA");
(c) an individual (or eligible group of individuals) and any company
controlled by the individual(s) (a person, entity or group that holds 25%
or more of the outstanding voting securities of a corporation will be
deemed to control the corporation, and a partnership will be deemed to be
controlled by each of its general partners);
(d) an individual (or eligible group of individuals) and one or more
employee benefit plans of a company controlled by the individual(s);
(e) an individual (or eligible group of individuals) and a trust created
by the individual(s), the beneficiaries of which are the individual and/or
the individual's spouse, parents or children;
(f) an individual and a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act/Uniform Transfers to
Minors Act account created by the individual or the individual's spouse; or
34
<PAGE>
(g) an employer (or group of related employers) and one or more qualified
retirement plans of such employer or employers (an employer controlling,
controlled by or under common control with another employer is deemed
related to that other employer).
RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION--CLASS A SHARES. Reduced sales charges are available
through a right of accumulation, under which investors and eligible groups of
related Fund investors (as defined above) are permitted to purchase Class A
shares of the Fund among related accounts at the offering price applicable to
the total of (1) the dollar amount then being purchased plus (2) an amount
equal to the then-current net asset value of the purchaser's combined holdings
of Class A Fund shares and Class A shares of any other PaineWebber or MH/KP
mutual fund. The purchaser must provide sufficient information to permit
confirmation of his or her holdings, and the acceptance of the purchase order
is subject to such confirmation. The right of accumulation may be amended or
terminated at any time.
WAIVERS OF SALES CHARGES--CLASS B SHARES. Among other circumstances, the
contingent deferred sales charge on Class B shares is waived where a total or
partial redemption is made within one year following the death of the
shareholder. The contingent deferred sales charge waiver is available where the
decedent is either the sole shareholder or owns the shares with his or her
spouse as a joint tenant with right of survivorship. This waiver applies only
to redemption of shares held at the time of death.
Certain PaineWebber mutual funds offered shares subject to contingent
deferred sales charges before the implementation of the Flexible Pricing System
on July 1, 1991 ("CDSC Funds"). The contingent deferred sales charge is waived
with respect to redemptions of Class B shares of CDSC Funds purchased prior to
July 1, 1991 by officers, directors (trustees) or employees of the CDSC Funds,
Mitchell Hutchins or their affiliates (or their spouses and children under age
21). In addition, the contingent deferred sales charge will be reduced by 50%
with respect to redemptions of Class B shares of CDSC Funds purchased prior to
July 1, 1991 with a net asset value at the time of purchase of at least $1
million. If Class B shares of a CDSC Fund purchased prior to July 1, 1991 are
exchanged for Class B shares of the Fund, any waiver or reduction of the
contingent deferred sales charge that applied to the Class B Shares of the CDSC
Fund will apply to the Class B shares of the Fund acquired through the
exchange.
ADDITIONAL EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION. As discussed in the
Prospectus, eligible shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of the
corresponding class of most other PaineWebber or MH/KP mutual funds.
Shareholders will receive at least 60 days' notice of any termination or
material modification of the exchange offer, except no notice need be given of
an amendment whose only material effect is to reduce the exchange fee, and no
notice need be given if, under extraordinary circumstances, either redemptions
are suspended under the circumstances described below or the Fund temporarily
delays or ceases the sales of its shares because it is unable to invest amounts
effectively in accordance with its investment objective, policies and
restrictions.
If conditions exist which make cash payments undesirable, the Fund reserves
the right to honor any request for redemption by making payment in whole or in
part in securities chosen by the Fund and valued in the same way as they would
be valued for purposes of computing the Fund's net asset value. If payment is
made in securities, a shareholder may incur brokerage expenses in converting
35
<PAGE>
these securities into cash. The Trust has elected, however, to be governed by
Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act, under which the Fund is obligated to redeem
shares solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net asset value
of the Fund during any 90-day period for one shareholder. This election is
irrevocable unless the SEC permits its withdrawal. The Fund may suspend
redemption privileges or postpone the date of payment during any period (1)
when the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") is closed or trading on the
NYSE is restricted as determined by the SEC, (2) when an emergency exists, as
defined by the SEC, that makes it not reasonably practicable for the Fund to
dispose of securities owned by it or fairly to determine the value of its
assets or (3) as the SEC may otherwise permit. The redemption price may be more
or less than the shareholder's cost, depending on the market value of the
Fund's portfolio at the time.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN. On or about the 15th of each month for monthly
plans and on or about the 15th of the months selected for quarterly or semi-
annual plans, PaineWebber will arrange for redemption by the Fund of sufficient
Fund shares to provide the withdrawal payment specified by participants in the
Fund's systematic withdrawal plan. The payment generally is mailed
approximately five business days after the redemption date. Withdrawal payments
should not be considered dividends, but redemption proceeds, with the tax
consequences described under 'Dividends and Taxes' in the Prospectus. If
periodic withdrawals continually exceed reinvested dividends, a shareholder's
investment may be correspondingly reduced. A shareholder may change the amount
of the systematic withdrawal or terminate participation in the plan at any time
without charge or penalty by written instructions with signatures guaranteed to
PaineWebber or PFPC Inc. ("Transfer Agent"). Instructions to participate in the
plan, change the withdrawal amount or terminate participation in the plan will
not be effective until five days after written instructions with signatures
guaranteed are received by the Transfer Agent. Shareholders may request the
forms needed to establish a systematic withdrawal plan from their PaineWebber
investment executives, correspondent firms or the Transfer Agent at 1-800-647-
1568.
REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE--CLASS A SHARES. As described in the Prospectus,
shareholders who have redeemed their Class A shares may reinstate their account
in the Fund without a sales charge. Shareholders may exercise the reinstatement
privilege by notifying the Transfer Agent of such desire and forwarding a check
for the amount to be purchased within 365 days after the date of redemption.
The reinstatement will be made at the net asset value per share next computed
after the notice of reinstatement and check are received. The amount of a
purchase under this reinstatement privilege cannot exceed the amount of the
redemption proceeds. Gain on a redemption is taxable regardless of whether the
reinstatement privilege is exercised; however, a loss arising out of a
redemption will not be deductible to the extent the redemption proceeds are
reinvested, if the reinstatement privilege is exercised within 30 days after
redemption, and an adjustment will be made to the shareholder's tax basis for
the shares acquired pursuant to the reinstatement privilege. Gain or loss on a
redemption also will be adjusted for federal income tax purposes by the amount
of any sales charge paid on Class A shares, under the circumstances and to the
extent described in "Dividends and Taxes" in the Prospectus.

PAINEWEBBER RMA RESOURCE ACCUMULATION PLAN SM; PAINEWEBBER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
ACCOUNT(R) (RMA(R))
Shares of the PaineWebber and MH/KP mutual funds (each a "PW Fund" and,
collectively, the "PW Funds") are available for purchase through the RMA
Resource Accumulation Plan ("Plan") by customers of PaineWebber and its
correspondent firms who maintain Resource Management Accounts ("RMA
accountholders"). The Plan allows an RMA accountholder to continually invest in
one or more of the PW Funds at regular intervals, with payment for shares
purchased automatically deducted from the client's RMA account. The client may
elect to invest at monthly or quarterly intervals and may elect either to
invest a fixed dollar amount (minimum $100 per period) or to purchase a fixed
number of shares. A client can elect to have Plan purchases executed on the
first or fifteenth day of the month. Settlement occurs five business days after
the trade date, and the purchase price of the shares is withdrawn from the
investor's RMA account on the settlement date from the following sources and in
the following order: uninvested cash balances, balances in RMA money market
funds, or margin borrowing power, if applicable to the account.
To participate in the Plan, an investor must be an RMA accountholder, must
have made an initial purchase of the shares of each PW Fund selected for
investment under the Plan (meeting applicable minimum investment requirements)
and must complete and submit the RMA Resource Accumulation Plan Client
Agreement and Instruction Form available from PaineWebber. The investor must
have received a current prospectus for each PW Fund selected prior to enrolling
in the Plan. Information about mutual fund positions and outstanding
instructions under the Plan are noted on the RMA accountholder's account
statement. Instructions under the Plan may be changed at any time, but may take
up to two weeks to become effective.
The terms of the Plan, or an RMA accountholder's participation in the Plan,
may be modified or terminated at any time. It is anticipated that, in the
future, shares of other PW Funds and/or mutual funds other than the PW Funds
may be offered through the Plan.
PERIODIC INVESTING AND DOLLAR COST AVERAGING. Periodic investing in the PW
Funds or other mutual funds, whether through the Plan or otherwise, helps
investors establish and maintain a disciplined approach to accumulating assets
over time, de-emphasizing the importance of timing the market's highs and lows.
Periodic investing also permits an investor to take advantage of "dollar cost
averaging." By investing a fixed amount in mutual fund shares at established
intervals, an investor purchases more shares when the price is lower and fewer
shares when the price is higher, thereby increasing his or her earning
potential. Of course, dollar cost averaging does not guarantee a profit or
protect against a loss in a declining market, and an investor should consider
his or her financial ability to continue investing through periods of low share
prices. However, over time, dollar cost averaging generally results in a lower
average original investment cost than if an investor invested a larger dollar
amount in a mutual fund at one time.
PAINEWEBBER'S RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ACCOUNT. In order to enroll in the Plan,
an investor must have opened an RMA account with PaineWebber or one of its
correspondent firms. The RMA account is PaineWebber's comprehensive asset
management account and offers investors a number of features, including the
following:
37
<PAGE>
. monthly Premier account statements that itemize all account activity,
including investment transactions, checking activity and Gold
MasterCard (R) transactions during the period, and provide unrealized
and realized gain and loss estimates for most securities held in the
account;
. comprehensive preliminary 9-month and year-end summary statements that
provide information on account activity for use in tax planning and tax
return preparation;
. automatic "sweep" of uninvested cash into the RMA accountholder's
choice of one of the five RMA money market funds--RMA Money Market
Portfolio, RMA U.S. Government Portfolio, RMA Tax-Free Fund, RMA
California Municipal Money Fund and RMA New York Municipal Money Fund.
Each money market fund attempts to maintain a stable price per share of
$1.00, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to do
so. Investments in the money market funds are not insured or guaranteed
by the U.S. government;
. check writing, with no per-check usage charge, no minimum amount on
checks and no maximum number of checks that can be written. RMA
accountholders can code their checks to classify expenditures. All
canceled checks are returned each month;
. Gold MasterCard, with or without a line of credit, which provides RMA
accountholders with direct access to their accounts and can be used
with automatic teller machines worldwide. Purchases on the Gold
Mastercard are debited to the RMA account once monthly, permitting
accountholders to remain invested for a longer period of time;
. 24-hour access to account information through toll-free numbers, and
more detailed personal assistance during business hours form the RMA
Service Center;
. expanded account protection to $25 million in the event of the
liquidation of PaineWebber. This protection does not apply to shares of
the RMA money market funds or the PW Funds, because those shares are
held at the transfer agent and not through PaineWebber; and
. automatic direct deposit of checks into the investor's RMA account and
automatic withdrawals from the account.
The annual account fee for an RMA account is $85, which includes the Gold
MasterCard, with an additional fee of $40 if the investor selects an optional
line of credit with the Gold MasterCard.
CONVERSION OF CLASS B SHARES
Class B shares of the Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares,
based on the relative net asset value per share of each of the two Classes, as
of the close of business on the first Business Day (as defined below) of the
month in which the sixth anniversary of the initial issuance of such Class B
shares of the Fund occurs. For the purpose of calculating the holding period
required for conversion of Class B shares, the date of initial issuance shall
mean (1) the date on which such Class B shares were issued, or (2) for Class B
shares obtained through an exchange, or a series of exchanges, the date on
which the original Class B shares were issued. For purposes of conversion to
Class A, Class B shares purchased through the reinvestment of dividends and
other distributions
38
<PAGE>
paid in respect of Class B shares will be held in a separate sub-account. Each
time any Class B shares in the shareholder's regular account (other than those
in the sub-account) convert to Class A, a pro rata portion of the Class B
shares in the sub-account will also convert to Class A. The portion will be
determined by the ratio that the shareholder's Class B shares converting to
Class A bears to the shareholder's total Class B shares not acquired through
dividends and other distributions.
The availability of the conversion feature is subject to (1) the continuing
applicability of a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service that the dividends
and other distributions paid on Class A and Class B shares will not result in
"preferential dividends" under the Internal Revenue Code and (2) the
continuing availability of an opinion of counsel to the effect that the
conversion of shares does not constitute a taxable event. If the conversion
feature ceased to be available, the Class B shares of the Fund would not be
converted and would continue to be subject to the higher ongoing expenses of
the Class B shares beyond six years from the date of purchase. Mitchell
Hutchins has no reason to believe that these conditions for the availability
of the conversion feature will not continue to be met.
VALUATION OF SHARES
The Fund determines its net asset value per share separately for each Class
of shares as of the close of regular trading (currently 4:00 p.m., eastern
time) on the NYSE on each Business Day, which is defined as each Monday
through Friday when the NYSE is open. Currently, the NYSE is closed on the
observance of the following holidays: New Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Good
Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day.
Securities that are listed on U.S. and foreign 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 generally valued on
the exchange considered by Mitchell Hutchins as the primary market. Securities
traded in the OTC market and listed on Nasdaq are valued at the last available
sale price on Nasdaq at 4:00 p.m., eastern time; other OTC securities are
valued at the last bid price available prior to valuation. Securities and
assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at
fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the
Trust's board of trustees. All investments quoted in foreign currency are
valued daily in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange
rate prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by the Fund's
custodian. The amortized cost method of valuation generally is used to value
debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity, unless the
board of trustees determines that this does not represent fair value.
Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined prior to the close
of trading on the NYSE. Occasionally events affecting the value of foreign
investments and such exchange rates occur between the time at which they are
determined and the close of trading on the NYSE, which events will not be
reflected in a computation of the Fund's net asset value on that day. If
events materially affecting the value of such investments or currency exchange
rates occur during such time period, the investments will be valued at their
fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the
Trust's board of trustees. The foreign currency exchange transactions of the
Fund conducted on a spot (that is, cash) basis are valued at the spot rate for
purchasing or selling currency
39
<PAGE>
prevailing on the foreign exchange market. This rate under normal market
conditions differs from the prevailing exchange rate in an amount generally
less than one-tenth of one percent due to the costs of converting from one
currency to another.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The Fund's performance data quoted in advertising and other promotional
materials ("Performance Advertisements") represent past performance and are
not intended to indicate future performance. The investment return and
principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares,
when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Average annual total return quotes ("Standardized
Return") used in the Fund's Performance Advertisements are calculated
according to the following formula:
P(1 + T)to the nth power = ERV
where: P= a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000 to purchase shares of a
specified Class
T= average annual total return of that Class
n= number of years
ERV= ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at
the beginning of that period.
Under the foregoing formula, the time periods used in Performance
Advertisements will be based on rolling calendar quarters, updated to the last
day of the most recent quarter prior to submission of the advertisement for
publication. Total return, or 'T' in the formula above, is computed by finding
the average annual change in the value of an initial $1,000 investment over
the period. In calculating the ending redeemable value for Class A shares, the
maximum 4.5% initial sales charge is deducted from the initial $1,000 payment
and, for Class B shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge
imposed on a redemption of Class B shares held for the period is deducted. All
dividends and other distributions are assumed to have been reinvested at net
asset value.
The Fund also may refer in Performance Advertisements to total return
performance data that are not calculated according to the formula set forth
above ('Non-Standardized Return'). The Fund calculates Non-Standardized Return
for specified periods of time by assuming an investment of $1,000 in Fund
shares and assuming the reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions.
The rate of return is determined by subtracting the initial value of the
investment from the ending value and by dividing the remainder by the initial
value. Neither initial nor contingent deferred sales charges are taken into
account in calculating Non-Standardized Return; the inclusion of these charges
would reduce the return.
Both Standardized Return and Non-Standardized Return for Class B shares for
periods of over six years will reflect conversion of the Class B shares to
Class A shares at the end of the sixth year.
40
<PAGE>
The following table shows performance information for the Class A, Class B
and Class D shares of the Fund for the periods indicated. All returns for
periods of more than one year are expressed as an average return.

* All Standardized Return figures for Class A shares reflect deduction of the
current maximum initial sales charge of 4.5%. All Standardized Return
figures for Class B shares reflect deduction of the applicable contingent
deferred sales charge imposed on a redemption of shares held for the period.
Class D shares do not impose an initial or contingent deferred sales charge;
therefore, Non-Standardized Return is identical to Standardized Return.
**The inception date for each Class of shares is July 2, 1993.
YIELD. Yields used in the Fund's Performance Advertisements are calculated by
dividing the Fund's dividend and interest income attributable to a Class of
shares for a 30-day period ("Period"), net of expenses attributable to such
Class, by the average number of shares of such Class entitled to receive
dividends during the Period and expressing the result as an annualized
percentage (assuming semi-annual compounding) of the maximum offering price per
share (in the case of Class A shares) or the net asset value per share (in the
case of Class B and Class D shares) at the end of the Period. Yield quotations
are calculated according to the following formula:
a-b
PRICE YIELD = 2[(--- + 1)to the 6th power-1]
cd
where a = dividends and interest earned during the Period attributable
to a Class of shares
b = expenses accrued for the Period attributable to a Class of
shares (net of reimbursements)
c = the average daily number of shares of a Class outstanding
during the Period that were entitled to receive dividends
d = the maximum offering price per share (in the case of Class A
shares) or the net asset value per share (in the case of
Class B and Class D shares) on the last day of the Period.
Solely for the purpose of computing yield, the Fund may recognize dividend
income by accruing 1/360 of the stated dividend rate of the security each day
that the security is in the portfolio.
Except as noted below, in determining interest income earned during the
Period (variable "a" in the above formula), the Fund calculates interest earned
on each debt obligation held by it during
41
<PAGE>
the Period by (1) computing the obligation's yield to maturity, based on the
market value of the obligation (including actual accrued interest) on the last
business day of the Period or, if the obligation was purchased during the
Period, the purchase price plus accrued interest and (2) dividing the yield to
maturity by 360, and multiplying the resulting quotient by the market value of
the obligation (including actual accrued interest) to determine the interest
income on the obligation for each day of the period that the obligation is in
the portfolio. Once interest earned is calculated in this fashion for each debt
obligation held by the Fund, interest earned during the Period is then
determined by totalling the interest earned on all debt obligations.
For purposes of these calculations, the maturity of an obligation with one or
more call provisions is assumed to be the next date on which the obligation
reasonably can be expected to be called or, if none, the maturity date. With
respect to Class A shares, in calculating the maximum offering price per share
at the end of the Period (variable "d" in the above formula), the Fund's
current maximum 4.5% initial sales charge on Class A shares is included. For
the 30-day period ended November 30, 1994, the yields for the Class A, Class B
and Class D shares were 5.52%, 5.02% and 5.01%, respectively.
OTHER INFORMATION. In Performance Advertisements, the Fund may compare its
Standardized Return and/or its Non-Standardized Return with data published by
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. for utility funds ("Lipper"), CDA Investment
Technologies, Inc. ("CDA"), Wiesenberger Investment Company Service
("Wiesenberger"), Investment Company Data Inc. ("ICD"), Ibbotson Associates,
Inc. ("Ibbotson"), the Investment Company Institute ("ICI"), Value Line
Investment Survey ("Value Line") or Morningstar Mutual Funds ("Morningstar"),
or with the performance of recognized stock and other indices, including the
Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index, the Standard & Poor's 40
Utilities Index, the Standard & Poor's Electric Utilities Index, the Dow Jones
Utilities Average, Moody's Electric Utilities Averages, Lehman Brother's
Corporate Bond Utility Index, Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index
and U.S. Treasury bonds, bills and notes, as well as changes in the Consumer
Price Index as published by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Fund also may
refer in such materials to mutual fund performance rankings and other data,
such as comparative asset, expense and fee levels, published by Lipper, CDA,
Wiesenberger, ICD or Morningstar. The Fund may also include comparisons of the
performance of utilities securities in general as measured by various
recognized indices as compared to other recognized stock and other indices
including those described above and general trends of dividend growth, total
return, yield and other standard measures of performance of utilities
securities in general. Performance Advertisements also may refer to discussions
of the Fund and comparative mutual fund data and ratings reported in
independent periodicals, including (but not limited to) THE WALL STREET
JOURNAL, MONEY Magazine, FORBES, BUSINESS WEEK, FINANCIAL WORLD, BARRON'S,
FORTUNE, THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, THE WASHINGTON POST and THE
KIPLINGER LETTERS. Comparisons in Performance Advertisements may be in graphic
form.
The Fund may include discussions or illustrations of the effects of
compounding in Performance Advertisements. "Compounding" refers to the fact
that, if dividends or other distributions on a Fund investment are reinvested
in additional Fund shares, any future income or capital appreciation of the
Fund would increase the value, not only of the original Fund investment, but
42
<PAGE>
also of the additional Fund shares received through reinvestment. As a result,
the value of the Fund investment would increase more quickly than if dividends
or other distributions had been paid in cash.
The Fund may also compare its performance with the performance of bank
certificates of deposit ("CDs") as measured by the CDA Investment Technologies,
Inc. Certificate of Deposit Index and the Bank Rate Monitor National Index and
the averages of yields of CDs of major banks published by Banxquote (R) Money
Markets. In comparing the Fund's performance to CD performance, investors
should keep in mind that bank CDs are insured in whole or part by an agency of
the U.S. government and offer fixed principal and fixed or variable rates of
interest, and that bank CD yields may vary depending on the financial
institution offering the CD and prevailing interest rates. Fund shares are not
insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government and returns thereon and net asset
value will fluctuate. The securities held by the Fund generally have longer
maturities than most CDs and may reflect interest rate fluctuations for longer
term securities. An investment in the Fund involves greater risks than an
investment in either a money market fund or a CD.
TAXES
In order to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment
company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund must distribute to
its shareholders for each taxable year at least 90% of its investment company
taxable income (consisting generally of net investment income, net gains from
certain foreign currency transactions and net short-term capital gain)
("Distribution Requirement") and must meet several additional requirements.
These requirements include the following: (1) the Fund must derive at least 90%
of its gross income each taxable year from dividends, interest, payments with
respect to securities loans and gains from the sale or other disposition of
securities or foreign currencies, or other income (including gains from
options, futures or forward currency contracts) derived with respect to its
business of investing in securities or those currencies ("Income Requirement");
(2) the Fund must derive less than 30% of its gross income each taxable year
from the sale or other disposition of securities, or any of the following, that
were held for less than three months--options, futures or forward contracts
(other than those on foreign currencies), or foreign currencies (or options,
futures or forward contracts thereon) that are not directly related to the
Fund's principal business of investing in securities (or options and futures
with respect to securities) ("Short-Short Limitation"); (3) at the close of
each quarter of the Fund's taxable year, at least 50% of the value of its total
assets must be represented by cash and cash items, U.S. government securities,
securities of other RICs and other securities, with these other securities
limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount that does not exceed 5% of
the value of the Fund's total assets and that does not represent more than 10%
of the issuer's outstanding voting securities; and (4) at the close of each
quarter of the Fund's taxable year, not more than 25% of the value of its total
assets may be invested in securities (other than U.S. government securities or
the securities of other RICs) of any one issuer.
Dividends and other distributions declared by the Fund in October, November
or December of any year and payable to its shareholders of record on a date in
any of those months will be deemed to have been paid by the Fund and received
by the shareholders on December 31 of that
43
<PAGE>
year if the distributions are paid by the Fund during the following January.
Accordingly, those distributions will be taxed to shareholders for the year in
which that December 31 falls.
A portion of the dividends from the Fund's investment company taxable income
(whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional Fund shares) may be eligible
for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations. The eligible
portion may not exceed the aggregate dividends received by the Fund from U.S.
corporations. However, dividends received by a corporate shareholder and
deducted by it pursuant to the dividends-received deduction are subject
indirectly to the alternative minimum tax.
If Fund shares are sold at a loss after being held for six months or less,
the loss will be treated as long-term, instead of short-term, capital loss to
the extent of any capital gain distributions received on those shares.
Investors also should be aware that if shares are purchased shortly before the
record date for any dividend or capital gain distribution, the investor will
pay full price for the shares and receive some portion of the price back as a
taxable distribution.
Dividends and interest received by the Fund may be subject to income,
withholding or other taxes imposed by foreign countries and U.S. possessions
that would reduce the yield on its securities. Tax conventions between certain
countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate these foreign taxes,
however, and many foreign countries do not impose taxes on capital gains in
respect of investments by foreign investors. If more than 50% of the value of
the Fund's total assets at the close of its taxable year consists of securities
of foreign corporations, the Fund will be eligible to, and may, file an
election with the Internal Revenue Service that will enable Fund shareholders,
in effect, to receive the benefit of the foreign tax credit with respect to any
foreign and U.S. possessions income taxes paid by the Fund. Pursuant to the
election, the Fund will treat those taxes as dividends paid to its shareholders
and each shareholder will be required to (1) include in gross income, and treat
as paid by him, his proportionate share of those taxes, (2) treat his share of
those taxes and of any dividend paid by the Fund that represents income from
foreign or U.S. possessions sources as his own income from those sources and
(3) either deduct the taxes deemed paid by him in computing his taxable income
or, alternatively, use the foregoing information in calculating the foreign tax
credit against his federal income tax. The Fund will report to its shareholders
shortly after each taxable year their respective shares of the Fund's income
from sources within, and taxes paid to, foreign countries and U.S. possessions
if it makes this election.
The Fund will be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax ("Excise Tax") to
the extent it fails to distribute by the end of any calendar year substantially
all of its ordinary income for that year and capital gain net income for the
one-year period ending on November 30 of that year, plus certain other amounts.
The Fund may invest in the stock of "passive foreign investment companies"
("PFICs") if such stock is denominated in U.S. dollars and otherwise is a
permissible investment. A PFIC is a foreign corporation that, in general, meets
either of the following tests: (1) at least 75% of its gross income is passive
or (2) an average of at least 50% of its assets produce, or are held for the
production of, passive income. Under certain circumstances, the Fund will be
subject to federal income tax on a portion of any "excess distribution"
received on the stock of a PFIC or of any gain from disposition of such stock
(collectively "PFIC income"), plus interest thereon, even if the Fund
distributes the
44
<PAGE>
PFIC income as a taxable dividend to its shareholders. The balance of the PFIC
income will be included in the Fund's investment company taxable income and,
accordingly, will not be taxable to it to the extent that income is distributed
to its shareholders. If the Fund invests in a PFIC and elects to treat the PFIC
as a "qualified electing fund," then in lieu of the foregoing tax and interest
obligation, the Fund will be required to include in income each year its pro
rata share of the qualified electing fund's annual ordinary earnings and net
capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term
capital loss)--which may have to be distributed to satisfy the Distribution
Requirement and avoid imposition of the Excise Tax--even if those earnings and
gain are not distributed to the Fund. In most instances it will be very
difficult, if not impossible, to make this election because of certain
requirements thereof.
The "Tax Simplification and Technical Corrections Bill of 1993," passed in
May 1994 by the House of Representatives, would substantially modify the
taxation of U.S. shareholders of foreign corporations, including eliminating
the provisions described above dealing with PFICs and replacing them (and other
provisions) with a regulatory scheme involving entities called "passive foreign
corporations." Three similar bills were passed by Congress in 1991 and 1992 and
vetoed. It is unclear at this time whether, and in what form, the proposed
modifications may be enacted into law.
Pursuant to proposed regulations, open-end RICs, such as the Fund, would be
entitled to elect to "mark-to-market" their stock in certain PFICs. "Marking-
to-market," in this context, means recognizing as gain for each taxable year
the excess, as of the end of that year, of the fair market value of such a
PFIC's stock over the owner's adjusted basis in that stock (including mark-to-
market gain for each prior year for which an election was in effect).
The use of hedging and option income strategies, such as writing (selling)
and purchasing options and futures contracts and entering into forward currency
contracts, involves complex rules that will determine for income tax purposes
the character and timing of recognition of the gains and losses the Fund
recognizes in connection therewith. Income from foreign currencies (except
certain gains therefrom that may be excluded by future regulations), and income
from transactions in options, futures and forward currency contracts derived by
the Fund with respect to its business of investing in securities or foreign
currencies, will qualify as permissible income under the Income Requirement.
However, income from the disposition of options and futures contracts (other
than those on foreign currencies) will be subject to the Short-Short Limitation
if they are held for less than three months. Income from the disposition of
foreign currencies, and options, futures and forward contracts on foreign
currencies, that are not directly related to the Fund's principal business of
investing in securities (or options and futures with respect to securities)
also will be subject to the Short-Short Limitation if they are held for less
than three months.
If the Fund satisfies certain requirements, any increase in value of a
position that is part of a "designated hedge" will be offset by any decrease in
value (whether realized or not) of the offsetting hedging position during the
period of the hedge for purposes of determining whether the Fund satisfies the
Short-Short Limitation. Thus, only the net gain (if any) from the designated
hedge will be included in gross income for purposes of that limitation. The
Fund will consider whether it should seek to qualify for this treatment for its
hedging transactions. To the extent the Fund does not qualify for this
treatment, it may be forced to defer the closing out of certain options,
futures
45
<PAGE>
and forward currency contracts beyond the time when it otherwise would be
advantageous to do so, in order for the Fund to continue to qualify as a RIC.
OTHER INFORMATION
PAINEWEBBER MANAGED INVESTMENTS TRUST. Prior to February 26, 1992, the
Trust's name was "PaineWebber Fixed Income Portfolios." The Trust is an entity
of the type commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust." Under
Massachusetts law, shareholders of the Fund could, under certain circumstances,
be held personally liable for the obligations of the Fund. However, the Trust's
Declaration of Trust disclaims shareholder liability for acts or obligations of
the Trust or the Fund and requires that notice of such disclaimer be given in
each note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking made or
issued by the trustees or by any officers or officer by or on behalf of the
Trust, the Fund, the trustees or any of them in connection with the Trust. The
Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification from the Fund's property for
all losses and expenses of any Fund shareholder held personally liable for the
obligations of the Fund. Thus, the risk of a shareholder's incurring financial
loss on account of a shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which
the Fund itself would be unable to meet its obligations, a possibility which
Mitchell Hutchins believes is remote and not material. Upon payment of any
liability incurred by a shareholder solely by reason of being or having been a
shareholder, the shareholder paying such liability will be entitled to
reimbursement from the general assets of the Fund. The trustees intend to
conduct the Fund's operations in such a way as to avoid, as far as possible,
ultimate liability of the shareholders for liabilities of the Fund.
CLASS-SPECIFIC EXPENSES. The Fund may determine to allocate certain of its
expenses (in addition to distribution fees) to the specific Classes of the
Fund's shares to which those expenses are attributable. For example, Class B
shares bear higher transfer agency fees per shareholder account than those
borne by Class A shares. The higher fee is imposed due to the higher costs
incurred by the Transfer Agent in tracking shares subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge because, upon redemption, the duration of the
shareholder's investment must be determined in order to determine the
applicable charge. Moreover, the tracking and calculations required by the
automatic conversion feature of the Class B shares will cause the Transfer
Agent to incur additional costs. Although the transfer agency fee will differ
on a per account basis as stated above, the specific extent to which the
transfer agency fees will differ between the Classes as a percentage of net
assets is not certain, because the fee as a percentage of net assets will be
affected by the number of shareholder accounts in each Class and the relative
amounts of net assets in each Class.
COUNSEL. The law firm of Kirkpatrick & Lockhart, 1800 M Street, N.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20036-5891, counsel to the Fund, has passed upon the legality
of the shares offered by the Fund's Prospectus. Kirkpatrick & Lockhart also
acts as counsel to Mitchell Hutchins and PaineWebber in connection with other
matters.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. Ernst & Young LLP, 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New
York 10019, serves as the Trust's independent auditors.

APPENDIX
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICES, INC. ("MOODY'S") CORPORATE BOND
RATINGS
AAA. Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They
carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as
"gilt edged." Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally
stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements
are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to
impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues; AA. Bonds which are
rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the
Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as high grade bonds. They are
rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may not be as
large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of
greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the long
term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities; A. Bonds which are
rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered
as upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to principal and
interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which suggest a
susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future; BAA. Bonds which are rated
Baa are considered as medium grade obligations, i.e., they are neither highly
protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and principal security appear
adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may
be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack
outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have speculative
characteristics as well; BA. Bonds which are rated Ba are judged to have
speculative elements; their future cannot be considered as well assured. Often
the protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and
thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future.
Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class; B. Bonds which are
rated B generally lack characteristics of the desirable investment. Assurance
of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of other terms of the
contract over any long period of time may be small; CAA. Bonds which are rated
Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may be in default or there may be present
elements of danger with respect to principal or interest; CA. Bonds which are
rated Ca represent obligations which are speculative in a high degree. Such
issues are often in default or have other marked shortcomings; C. Bonds which
are rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds and issues so rated can be
regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real
investment standing.
Note: Moody's may apply numerical modifiers, 1, 2 and 3 in each generic
rating classification from Aa through B in its corporate bond rating system.
The modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks in the higher end of its
generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the
modifier 3 indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of its generic
rating category.
DESCRIPTION OF STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS GROUP ("S&P") CORPORATE DEBT RATINGS
AAA. Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by S&P. Capacity to pay
interest and repay principal is extremely strong; AA. Debt rated AA has a very
strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal and differs from the
highest rated issues only in small degree; A. Debt rated A has a strong
capacity to pay interest and repay principal although it is somewhat more
susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic
conditions than debt in higher
48
<PAGE>
rated categories; BBB. Debt rated BBB is regarded as having adequate capacity
to pay interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances
are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay
principal for debt in this category than for debt in higher rated categories;
BB, B, CCC, CC, C. Debt rated BB, B, CCC, CC and C is regarded, on balance, as
predominantly speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay
principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. BB indicates the
lowest degree of speculation and C the highest degree of speculation. While
such debt will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these
are outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse
conditions; CI. The rating CI is reserved for income bonds on which no interest
is being paid; D. Debt rated D is in default, and payment of interest and/or
repayment of principal is in arrears.
Plus (+) or Minus (--): The ratings from "AA" to "CCC" may be modified by the
addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major
rating categories.
NR indicates that no public rating has been requested, that there is
insufficient information on which to base a rating or that S&P does not rate a
particular type of obligation as a matter of policy.

PAINEWEBBER NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PaineWebber Managed Investments Trust (the "Trust") was organized
under Massachusetts law by a Declaration of Trust dated November
21, 1986 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as an open-end, diversified investment company. The Trust is a
series mutual fund with six funds: PaineWebber Utility Income Fund
(the "Fund"), PaineWebber U.S. Government Income Fund, PaineWebber
Investment Grade Income Fund, PaineWebber High Income Fund,
PaineWebber Short-Term U.S. Government Income Fund and PaineWebber
Short-Term U.S. Government Income Fund for Credit Unions. The
financial statements for PaineWebber U.S. Government Income Fund,
PaineWebber Investment Grade Income Fund, PaineWebber High Income
Fund, PaineWebber Short-Term U.S. Government Income Fund and
PaineWebber Short-Term U.S. Government Income Fund for Credit
Unions are not included herein.
Organizational Matters - Prior to commencing its operations, the
Fund had no activities other than organizational matters and
activities related to the initial public offering and the
issuance, at net asset value, of 1 Class A share, 1 Class B share
and 1 Class D share of the Fund to Mitchell Hutchins Asset
Management Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins"), a wholly owned subsidiary
of PaineWebber Incorporated ("PaineWebber") and investment adviser
and administrator of the Fund. Organization costs aggregating
$141,033, have been deferred and are being amortized, using the
straight-line method over a period not to exceed five years from
the commencement of operations of the Fund.
On July 2, 1993 the Fund commenced operations for Class A, B and D
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 distribution
charges and certain transfer agency expenses. In addition, Class B
shares and all corresponding dividend reinvested 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 distribution plan.
Valuation of Investments - Where market quotations are readily
available, portfolio securities are valued thereon, provided such
quotations adequately reflect, in the judgment of Mitchell
Hutchins, the fair value of the securities. 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 the Trust's
board of trustees. The amortized cost method of valuation, which
approximates market value, is used to value debt obligations with
60 days or less remaining to maturity,
7
<PAGE>
PAINEWEBBER NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
unless the Trust's board of trustees determines that this does not
represent fair value.
The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Fund
to meet their obligations may be affected by economic
developments, including those particular to a specific industry,
country, or region.
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 for on the ex-dividend date.
Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments
to interest income and the identified costs 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.
Repurchase Agreements - The 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, the 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. The Fund occasionally participates in joint
repurchase agreement transactions with other funds managed by
Mitchell Hutchins.
Federal Tax Status - The Fund intends to distribute all of its
taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is
required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year
substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and
certain other amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject
to a federal excise tax. At November 30, 1994, the Fund had a net
capital loss carryforward of $9,018,491. The loss carryforward is
available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the
regulations, of future net realized capital gains, and will expire
between November 30, 2001 and November 30, 2002.
Dividends - Dividends and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares dividends on a
monthly basis from net investment income. Dividends from net
investment income and distributions from
8
<PAGE>
PAINEWEBBER NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)
realized gains from investment transactions are determined in
accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from
generally accepted accounting principles. Net capital gains, if
any, may be distributed annually, but the Fund may make more
frequent distributions of such gains, if necessary, to avoid
income or excise taxes.
INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR
The 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 Fund. In accordance with the
Advisory Contract, the Fund pays Mitchell Hutchins an investment
advisory and administration fee, which is accrued daily and paid
monthly, at the annual rate of 0.70% of the Fund's average daily
net assets. At November 30, 1994, the Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins
$36,758 in investment advisory and administration fees.
In compliance with applicable state securities laws, Mitchell
Hutchins will reimburse the Fund if and to the extent that the
aggregate operating expenses in any fiscal year, exclusive of
taxes, distribution fees, interest, brokerage fees and
extraordinary expenses, exceed limitations imposed by various
state regulations. Currently, the most restrictive limitation
applicable to the Fund is 2.5% of the first $30 million of average
daily net assets, 2.0% of the next $70 million and 1.5% of any
excess over $100 million. For the year ended November 30, 1994, no
reimbursements were required pursuant to the above limitation for
the Fund.
DISTRIBUTION PLANS
Mitchell Hutchins is the distributor of the Fund's shares and has
appointed PaineWebber as the exclusive dealer for the sale of
those shares. Under separate plans of distribution pertaining to
the Class A, Class B, and Class D shares, the Fund pays Mitchell
Hutchins monthly service fees at the annual rate of 0.25% of the
average daily net assets of each Class of shares and monthly
distribution fees at the annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily
net assets of Class B shares and Class D shares. At November 30,
1994, the Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $44,252 in service and
distribution fees.
Mitchell Hutchins also receives the proceeds of the initial sales
charges paid by the shareholders upon the purchase of Class A
shares and the contingent deferred sales charges paid by the
shareholders upon certain redemptions of Class B shares. Mitchell
Hutchins has informed the Fund that for the year ended November
30, 1994, it earned the following amounts in sales charges:

Initial sales charges - Class A......................... $ 74,565

PAINEWEBBER NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONCLUDED)
TRANSFER AGENCY SERVICE FEES
The Fund pays PaineWebber an annual fee of $4.00 per active
PaineWebber shareholder account for certain services not provided
by the Fund's transfer agent. For these services for the year
ended November 30, 1994, PaineWebber earned $28,223 and was owed
$2,151 in shareholder service fees from the Fund.
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
For federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned at
November 30, 1994 was substantially the same as the cost of
securities for financial statement purposes.
At November 30, 1994, the components of the net unrealized
depreciation of investments were as follows:

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
PaineWebber Managed Investments Trust
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and
liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of
PaineWebber Utility Income Fund (one of the portfolios of
PaineWebber Managed Investments Trust) (the "Fund") as of November
30, 1994, and the related statement of operations for the year

financial highlights for the year ended November 30, 1994 and for
the period from July 2, 1993 (commencement of operations) to
November 30, 1993. 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 conducted our audit 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
investments owned at November 30, 1994 by correspondence with the
custodian and others. 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 Utility Income Fund at November
30, 1994, and the results of its operations for the year then
ended, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights

Item 27. Indemnification
Section 2 of "Indemnification" in Article X of the Declaration of
Trust provides that the Registrant will indemnify its trustees and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by law against claims and
expenses asserted against or incurred by them by virtue of being or having
been a trustee or officer; provided that no such person shall be
indemnified where there has been an adjudication or other determination,
as described in Article X, that such person is liable to the Registrant or
its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of
his or her office or did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief
that his or her action was in the best interest of the Registrant.
Section 2 of "Indemnification" in Article X also provides that the
Registrant may maintain insurance policies covering such rights of
indemnification.
Additionally, "Limitation of Liability" in Article X of the
Declaration of Trust provides that the trustees or officers of the
Registrant shall not be personally liable to any person extending credit
to, contracting with, or having a claim against, the Trust; and that,
provided they have exercised reasonable care and have acted under the
reasonable belief that their actions are in the best interest of the
Registrant, the trustees and officers shall not be liable for neglect or
wrongdoing by them or any officer, agent, employee or investment adviser
of the Registrant.
Section 2 of Article XI of the Declaration of Trust additionally
provides that, subject to the provisions of Section 1 of
Article XI and to Article X, the trustees shall not be liable for errors
of judgment or mistakes of fact or law, or for any act or omission in
accordance with advice of counsel or other experts, or failing to follow
such advice, with respect to the meaning and operation of the Declaration
of Trust.
Article XI of the By-Laws provides that the Registrant may purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a trustee,
officer or employee of the Trust, or is or was serving at the request of
the Trust as a trustee, officer or employee of a corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted
against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity or
arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Registrant
would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability,
provided that the Registrant may not acquire insurance protecting any
trustee or officer against liability to the Registrant or its shareholders
to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the
duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

<PAGE>
Section 9 of the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract (the
"Contract") between Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell
Hutchins") and the Trust provides that Mitchell Hutchins shall not be
liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss
suffered by the Registrant in connection with the matters to which the
Contract relates, except for a loss resulting from willful misfeasance,
bad faith, or gross negligence of Mitchell Hutchins in the performance of
its duties or from its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties
under the Contract. Section 10 of the Contract provides that the trustees
shall not be liable for any obligations of the Trust under the Contract
and that Mitchell Hutchins shall look only to the assets and property of
the Trust in settlement of such right or claim and not to the assets and
property of the trustees.
Section 9 of each Distribution Contract provides that the Trust will
indemnify Mitchell Hutchins and its officers, directors or controlling
persons against all liabilities arising from any alleged untrue statement
of material fact in the Registration Statement or from any alleged
omission to state in the Registration Statement a material fact required
to be stated in it or necessary to make the statements in it, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except
insofar as liability arises from untrue statements or omissions made in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished by Mitchell
Hutchins to the Trust for use in the Registration Statement; and provided
that this indemnity agreement shall not protect any such persons against
liabilities arising by reason of their bad faith, gross negligence or
willful misfeasance; and shall not inure to the benefit of any such
persons unless a court of competent jurisdiction or controlling precedent
determines that such result is not against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933. Section 9 of each Distribution Contract also
provides that Mitchell Hutchins agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the
Trust, its officers and trustees free and harmless of any claims arising
out of any alleged untrue statement or any alleged omission of material
fact contained in information furnished by Mitchell Hutchins for use in
the Registration Statement or arising out of an agreement between Mitchell
Hutchins and any retail dealer, or arising out of supplementary literature
or advertising used by Mitchell Hutchins in connection with each
Distribution Contract.
Section 9 of each Exclusive Dealer Agreement contains provisions
similar to Section 9 of each Distribution Contract, with respect to
PaineWebber Incorporated ("PaineWebber").
Section 6 of the Service Contract provides that PaineWebber shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Trust against all liabilities, except
those arising out of bad faith, gross negligence, willful misfeasance or
reckless disregard of its duties under the Service Contract.
Section 10 of each Distribution Contract and Section 7 of the Service
Contract contain provisions similar to that of Section 10 of the
Investment Advisory and Administration Contract, with respect to Mitchell
Hutchins and PaineWebber, as appropriate.
C-8
<PAGE>
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be provided to trustees, officers
and controlling persons of the Trust, pursuant to the foregoing provisions
or otherwise, the Trust has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Trust of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee,
officer or controlling person of the Trust in connection with the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding or payment pursuant
to any insurance policy) is asserted against the Trust by such trustee,
officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the Trust will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
