                        ANNUAL REPORT--OCTOBER 15, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
                   DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
 
                   We are pleased to present you with the semiannual
                   report for PaineWebber Utility Income Fund (the
                   "Fund") for the six months ended September 30,
                   1996.
 
                   GENERAL MARKET OVERVIEW
 
                   Early in the year, government reports showing
                   higher-than-expected economic growth prompted a
                   shift in market sentiment, which in turn caused a
                   sharp drop in bond prices and ensuing stock
                   market volatility. Several factors helped move
                   stocks higher despite this volatility, including
                   an overall positive environment for corporate
                   earnings and profit growth as well as strong cash
                   flows into equity mutual funds. Then, in July, a
                   spate of disappointing earnings announcements
                   helped contribute to the first meaningful overall
                   stock market correction since 1994. This was
                   short-lived, however, and in August the market
                   retraced much of the ground it had lost. By
                   mid-September, as investor confidence grew, money
                   returning to the equity markets propelled the
                   Standard & Poor's 500, a commonly used measure of
                   stock market performance, to a new record high (a
                   circumstance which underscores the hazards of
                   market timing). The Federal Reserve Board (the
                   "Fed") echoed investor confidence when it chose,
                   as it did during the May and July 1996 Federal
                   Open Market Committee meetings, to keep key
                   interest rates unchanged at the September 1996
                   meeting. The Fed's decision to do so suggested
                   that officials continued to discount the
                   potential for an overheating economy or
                   accelerating inflation.

                  PORTFOLIO REVIEW
 
                   Going forward, we believe that the current
                   environment of stable economic growth will
                   continue into the first half of 1997, and that
                   the Fed will not move on interest rates any time
                   soon. We also believe that although the stock
                   market is at the upper end of the fair value
                   range, continued investor demand, as seen in the
                   returning flow of individual investor dollars
                   into equity mutual funds, will serve as
                   underlying support to the market.
 
                   PORTFOLIO REVIEW
 
                   The Fund's total return (the net asset value
                   change with dividends reinvested) for the six
                   month period ended September 30, 1996, without
                   deducting sales charges, was 1.78% for Class A
                   shares, 1.50% for Class B shares and 1.49% for
                   Class C shares. For shareowners who purchased or
                   redeemed Fund shares during the period, the
                   Fund's total return for the period may be lower;
                   for example, after deducting the maximum
                   applicable sales charges, the Fund's total return
                   for the period was (2.80)% for Class A shares,
                   (3.50)% for Class B shares and 0.49% for Class C
                   shares.
 
                   At the start of the six month period, a decision
                   was made to decrease the Fund's bond weighting
                   (15.86% of net assets as of March 31, 1996 versus
                   14.50% of net assets as of September 30, 1996), a
                   move designed to further bring the Fund in line
                   with our strategy of maximizing total return.
                   Nearly all of the assets shifted out of the bond
                   sector were invested in real estate investment
                   trusts (REITs), vehicles which we believe offer
                   exceptional capital appreciation potential, as
                   well as attractive dividend yields. Moreover, we
                   are optimistic about the growth of select sectors
                   within the real estate industry, including
                   premium hotels and commercial real estate, and
                   have invested the Fund's portfolio accordingly.
                   Starwood Lodging Trust (1.84% of net assets as of
                   September 30, 1996) and Crescent Real Estate
                   (1.86%) are both representative of holdings
                   within these respective sectors. Ultimately, the
                   decision to move into REITs had a positive impact
                   on Fund performance, as evidenced by the Fund's
                   subsequent move into, and current position
                   within, the top half of the Lipper Utility Funds
                   peer group for the six months ended September 30,
                   1996.

                   Also benefiting the Fund throughout the period
                   were sweeping regulatory changes occurring within
                   the telecommunications industry (16.45% of net
                   assets as of September 30, 1996). As discussed in
                   the annual report for the year ended March 31,
                   1996, deregulation is effectively expanding
                   diversification opportunities for all
                   telecommunications providers, including allowing
                   previously excluded long distance companies to
                   enter the local telephone business. Such changes
                   are having far-reaching effects and creating
                   investment opportunities, as well. For example,
                   WorldCom, a fast growing long distance
                   competitor, surprised the investment community in
                   August when its executives announced its decision
                   to acquire MFS Communications Company, an
                   entrepreunerial local telecommunications
                   provider. The Fund benefited from this news due
                   to its position in MFS preferred shares at the
                   time. Conversely, we reduced the Fund's weighting
                   in regional Bell operating companies (9.57% of
                   net assets on March 31, 1996 versus 8.28% on
                   September 30, 1996), given our concerns about
                   their competitive prospects in an environment of
                   deregulation. In general, the stocks of the
                   regional Bells have underperformed as investors
                   begin to realize the difficulties these companies
                   are facing in the local telecommunications arena.
 
                   Deregulation is also occurring within the
                   electric utility sector (38.40% of net assets as
                   of September 30, 1996), albeit at a slower pace
                   given that electric utility regulations vary
                   state by state. Early in the period, investor
                   apprehension over deregulation adversely affected
                   the sector. As individual states began to enact
                   deregulation measures, however, investor fears
                   diminished upon the realization that the measures
                   were less onerous than anticipated. As a result,
                   electric utility stocks gained strength,
                   benefiting Fund performance. In the future, we
                   expect to see an increase in mergers as
                   deregulation gradually becomes reality. The Fund
                   has already benefited from consolidation activity
                   in this sector,

                  PORTFOLIO REVIEW
 
                   including the August merger of electric utility
                   Houston Industries and natural gas provider Noram
                   Energy. The Fund's position in Noram was sold
                   when shares rose 25% on the deal announcement.
 
                   Finally, in conjunction with our focus on total
                   return, on July 24, 1996, the Fund's Board
                   approved changing the Fund's dividend payment
                   policy from monthly to quarterly. We believe that
                   the Fund's total return potential will increase
                   with the implementation of a quarterly dividend
                   payment, while providing a more consistent stream
                   of income. The Fund will commence paying
                   quarterly distributions in December 1996; the
                   last monthly distribution occurred in September
                   1996.
 
                   Going forward, we expect that deregulation in the
                   industry will be an evolutionary process subject
                   to outside influences, particularly as the
                   general intent of the legislation is interpreted
                   at a practical level. We believe well-managed
                   companies will be in a better position to
                   implement adaptive responses and differentiate
                   their performance from weaker competitors.
                   Therefore, our goal is to identify and position
                   the Fund in those high-quality companies that we
                   believe are likely to be the successful survivors
                   of deregulation and which demonstrate the agility
                   to capitalize on new found growth opportunities
                   created by the changing regulatory landscape.
 
                   Our ultimate objective in managing your
                   investments is to help you successfully meet your
                   financial goals. We thank you for your continued
                   support, and welcome any comments or questions
                   you may have.

PAINEWEBBER        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
 
                 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 five funds:
                 PaineWebber Utility Income Fund (the "Fund"), PaineWebber U.S.
                 Government Income Fund, PaineWebber Investment Grade Income
                 Fund, PaineWebber High Income Fund and PaineWebber Low Duration
                 U.S. Government Income Fund.
 
                 Currently, the Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class
                 Y shares (no Class Y shares were outstanding during the
                 period). Each class represents interests in the same assets of
                 the Fund, the classes are identical except for differences in
                 their sales charge structure, ongoing service/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 initial issuance. All classes of shares have equal voting
                 privileges, except that Class A, Class B, and Class C shares
                 have exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or
                 distribution plan. Organizational costs have been deferred and
                 are being amortized using the straight line method over a
                 period not to exceed 60 months from the date the costs were
                 incurred.
 
                 The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
                 generally accepted accounting principles requires Fund
                 management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
                 reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
                 Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following
                 is a summary of significant accounting policies:
 
                 VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS - Where market quotations are readily
                 available, portfolio securities are valued thereon, provided
                 such quotations adequately reflect the fair value of the
                 securities in the judgment of Mitchell Hutchins Asset
                 Management Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins"), a wholly owned
                 subsidiary of PaineWebber Incorporated ("PaineWebber") and
                 investment adviser, administrator and distributor of the Fund.
                 Such quotations are based on the last sales price, or if no
                 sales price, at the closing bid price. 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,
                 unless the Trust's board of trustees determines that this does
                 not represent fair value.
 
                 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
 
12
<PAGE>
PAINEWEBBER
 
                 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.
 
                 INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME - Investment
                 transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and
                 losses from investment transactions are calculated using the
                 identified cost method. Interest income is recorded on an
                 accrual basis and dividend income is recorded on the
                 ex-dividend date. Discounts are accreted and premiums are
                 amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified
                 cost of investments.
 
                 Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and
                 realized/unrealized gains/ losses are allocated proportionately
                 to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value
                 of outstanding shares (or the value of dividend-eligible
                 shares, as appropriate) of each class at the beginning of the
                 day (after adjusting for current capital share activity of the
                 respective classes). Class-specific expenses are charged
                 directly to the applicable class of shares.
 
                 DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS - Dividends and distributions to
                 shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount
                 of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance
                 with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from
                 generally accepted accounting principles. These "book/tax"
                 differences are either considered temporary or permanent in
                 nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in
                 nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital
                 accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary
                 differences do not require reclassification.
 
                 CONCENTRATION OF RISK
 
                 The Fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in
                 securities of utility companies. Economic, legislative and
                 regulatory developments impacting those industries may affect
                 the market value of the Fund's investments.
 
                 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 September 30, 1996, the
                 Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $25,838 in investment advisory and
                 administration fees. Mitchell Hutchins voluntarily waived
                 $30,480 of its investment advisory and administration fee for
                 the six months ended September 30, 1996.
 
                                                                              13

                 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 C shares, the
                 Fund pays Mitchell Hutchins monthly service fees at the annual
                 rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class
                 B and Class C shares and monthly distribution fees at the
                 annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B
                 and Class C shares. At September 30, 1996, the Fund owed
                 Mitchell Hutchins $32,338 in service and distribution fees.
 
                 Mitchell Hutchins also receives the proceeds of the initial
                 sales charges paid by shareholders upon the purchase of Class A
                 shares and the contingent deferred sales charges paid by
                 shareholders upon certain redemptions of Class A, Class B and
                 Class C shares. Mitchell Hutchins has informed the Fund that,
                 for the six months ended September 30, 1996, it earned
                 approximately $78,706 in sales charges.
 
                 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 six months ended September 30, 1996, PaineWebber earned
                 $9,388. At September 30, 1996, the Fund owed PaineWebber $1,456
                 for shareholder service fees.
 
                 INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
 
                 For federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned
                 at September 30, 1996 was substantially the same as the cost of
                 securities for financial statement purposes.
 
                 At September 30, 1996, the components of the net unrealized
                 appreciation of investments were as follows:

                 FEDERAL TAX STATUS
 
                 The Fund intends to distribute substantially 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
 
14
<PAGE>
PAINEWEBBER
 
                 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 March 31, 1996, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward
                 of $9,266,770 which will expire between March 31, 2001 and
                 March 31, 2003. To the extent such losses are used, as provided
                 in the regulations, to offset future net realized capital
                 gains, it is probable these gains will not be distributed.
 
                 In accordance with Treasury Regulations, the Fund has elected
                 to defer $120,140 of realized capital losses arising after
                 October 31, 1995. Such losses have been treated for tax
                 purposes as arising on April 1, 1996.
 
                 SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
 
                 There is an unlimited amount of $0.001 par value shares of
                 beneficial interest authorized. Transactions in shares of
                 beneficial interest were as follows:

    first day of each period reported, reinvestment of all dividends and
    distributions at net asset value on the payable dates and a sale at net
    asset value on the last day of each period reported. The figures do not
    include sales charges; results for each class would be lower if sales
    charges were included. Total investment return for periods of less than one
    year has not been annualized.
