(a) Does not include 0.03% in non-recurring reorganization expenses that U.S.
    Government Income Fund incurred during the fiscal year ended November 30,
    1995. If those expenses were included, 'Other expenses' would be 0.21% and
    'Total operating expenses' would be 0.71%.
 
(1) Class Y shares may be purchased by participants in the INSIGHT Investment
    Advisory Program ('INSIGHT') sponsored by PaineWebber, when purchased
    through that program. Participation in INSIGHT is subject to payment of an
    advisory fee at the maximum annual rate of 1.50% of assets held through
    INSIGHT (generally charged quarterly in advance), which may be charged to
    the INSIGHT participant's PaineWebber account. This account charge is not
    included in the table because non-INSIGHT participants are permitted to
    purchase Class Y shares of the Funds.
 
(2) See 'Management' for additional information. The fees and expenses are those
    actually incurred for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1995, except that
    'Other expenses' for Low Duration Income Fund, Investment Grade Income Fund
    and High Income Fund are estimated based on the expenses incurred by each
    Fund's Class A shares for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1995.
 
                       EXAMPLE OF EFFECT OF FUND EXPENSES
 
An investor would directly or indirectly pay the following expenses on a $1,000
investment in each Fund, assuming a 5% annual return:

</TABLE>
 
This Example assumes that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested
and that the percentage amounts listed under Annual Fund Operating Expenses
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 Securities and
Exchange Commission ('SEC') applicable to all mutual funds; the assumed 5%
annual return is not a prediction of, and does not represent, the projected or
actual performance of the Class Y shares of a Fund.
 
THE EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE
EXPENSES, AND A FUND'S ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN. The
actual expenses attributable to a Fund's Class Y shares will depend upon, among
other things, the level of average net assets and the extent to which the Fund
incurs variable expenses, such as transfer agency costs.

The table below provides selected per share data and ratios for one Class Y
share of U.S. Government Income Fund and Low Duration Income Fund for each of
the periods shown. This information is supplemented by the financial statements
and accompanying notes appearing in each Fund's Annual Report to Shareholders
for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1995, which are incorporated by reference
into the Statement of Additional Information. The financial statements and
notes, as well as the information in the table appearing below insofar as it
relates to the fiscal year ended November 30, 1995 and for the prior periods,
have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, whose reports
thereon are included in the Annual Reports to Shareholders. Further information
about each Fund's performance is also included in the Annual Reports to
Shareholders, which may be obtained without charge. No information is presented
for Class Y shares of Investment Grade Income Fund and High Income Fund, because
no such shares were outstanding as of November 30, 1995.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                       INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The investment objective of U.S. GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND is to provide high
current income consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. The
Fund invests primarily in U.S. government securities.
 
The investment objective of LOW DURATION INCOME FUND is to achieve the highest
level of income consistent with the preservation of capital and low volatility
of net asset value. The Fund invests primarily in U.S. government securities and
seeks to limit the volatility of its net asset value per share by maintaining,
under normal circumstances, an overall portfolio duration of from one to three
years.
 
The  investment objective  of INVESTMENT  GRADE INCOME  FUND is  to provide high
current income consistent with  the preservation of  capital and liquidity.  The
Fund  invests in a diversified  range of investment grade  bonds and other fixed
income securities.
 
The investment objective of HIGH INCOME FUND is to provide high income. The Fund
invests primarily in  a diversified  range of high  risk, high  yield medium  to
lower quality corporate bonds.
 
The Funds are diversified series of an open-end management investment company.
Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ('Mitchell Hutchins') is each Fund's
investment adviser and administrator. Pacific Investment Management Company
('PIMCO') serves as sub-adviser for Low Duration Income Fund.
 
There  can be no assurance that any  Fund will achieve its investment objective.
Each Fund's net asset value  will fluctuate based upon  changes in the value  of
its   portfolio  securities.  Each  Fund's   investment  objective  and  certain
investment limitations as described in  the Statement of Additional  Information
are fundamental policies and may not be changed without shareholder approval. In
addition,  the policy of  each of U.S.  Government Income Fund  and Low Duration
Income Fund  of normally  concentrating at  least  25% of  its total  assets  in
mortgage-  and asset-backed  securities is  fundamental and  may not  be changed
without shareholder approval. All  other investment policies  may be changed  by
the Trust's board of trustees without shareholder approval.
 
U.S. GOVERNMENT INCOME FUND AND LOW
DURATION INCOME FUND.  Under normal conditions, U.S. Government Income Fund and
Low Duration Income Fund each invests at least 65% of its total assets in U.S.
government securities, including mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities ('U.S. government
mortgage-backed securities'), other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government, its agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements with
respect to those securities. While these instruments may be guaranteed as to the
payment of interest and principal, they are not guaranteed as to market value.
Up to 35% of each Fund's total assets may be invested in privately issued
mortgage- and asset-backed securities that at the time of purchase have been
rated AAA by Standard & Poor's, a division of The McGraw Hill Companies, Inc.
('S&P'), or Aaa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ('Moody's'), have an
equivalent rating from another nationally recognized statistical rating
organization ('NRSRO') or, if unrated, have been determined by Mitchell Hutchins
or PIMCO, as applicable, to be of comparable quality. As a matter of fundamental
policy, each Fund normally concentrates at least 25% of its total assets in
mortgage- and asset-backed securities issued or guaranteed by private issuers or
by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government.
 
Low Duration Income Fund seeks to limit the volatility of its net asset value
per share by maintaining, under normal circumstances, an overall portfolio
duration of from one to three years. U.S. Government Income Fund has no fixed

portfolio duration policy. Duration is a measure of the expected life of a fixed
income security on a present value basis. See 'Duration.'
 
Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or
are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property and
include single- and multi-class pass-through securities and collateralized
mortgage obligations. Multi-class pass-through securities and collateralized
mortgage obligations are collectively referred to herein as CMOs. Issuers and
guarantors of the U.S. government mortgage-backed securities in which the Funds
may invest include the Government National Mortgage Association ('Ginnie Mae'),
the Federal National Mortgage Association ('Fannie Mae') and the Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation ('Freddie Mac'). Private issuers of mortgage-backed
securities in which the Funds may invest are generally originators of, and
investors in, mortgage loans, including savings associations, mortgage bankers,
commercial banks, investment bankers and special purpose entities (collectively,
'Private Mortgage Lenders'). Payments of principal and interest (but not the
market value) of such private mortgage-backed securities may be supported by
pools of mortgage loans or other mortgage-backed securities that are guaranteed,
directly or indirectly, by the U.S. government or one of its agencies or
instrumentalities, or they may be issued without any government guarantee of the
underlying mortgage assets but with some form of non-government credit
enhancement. For more information concerning the types of mortgage-backed
securities in which the Funds may invest, see Appendix A to this Prospectus.
 
Each Fund's policy of investing at least 25% of its total assets in mortgage-and
asset-backed securities has the effect of increasing the Fund's exposure to the
risks related to such securities and might cause the Fund's net asset value per
share to fluctuate more than otherwise would be the case. See 'Risks of
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities.'
 
Non-mortgage-related U.S. government securities in which U.S. Government Income
Fund and Low Duration Income Fund may invest include U.S. Treasury obligations
and other obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government
and securities that are supported primarily or solely by the creditworthiness of
the issuer, such as securities issued by the Resolution Funding Corporation, the
Student Loan Marketing Association, the Federal Home Loan Banks and the
Tennessee Valley Authority.
 
U.S. Government Income Fund and Low Duration Income Fund may invest in certain
zero coupon securities that are U.S. Treasury notes and bonds that have been
stripped of their unmatured interest coupon receipts or interests in such U.S.
Treasury securities or coupons. The SEC staff currently takes the position that
'stripped' U.S. government securities that are not issued through the U.S.
Treasury are not U.S. government securities. As long as the SEC takes this
position, Certificates of Accrual Treasury Securities ('CATS') and Treasury
Income Growth Receipts ('TIGRs'), which are not issued through the U.S. Treasury
will not be counted as U.S. government securities for purposes of the 65%
investment requirement. See 'Risks of Zero Coupon Securities.'
 
Asset-backed securities have structural characteristics similar to
mortgage-backed securities. However, the underlying assets are not first lien
mortgage loans or interests therein, but include assets such as motor vehicle
installment sale contracts, other installment sale contracts, home equity loans,
leases of various types of real and personal property and receivables from
revolving credit (credit card) agreements. Such assets are securitized through
the use of trusts or special purpose corporations. Payments or distributions of
principal and interest on asset-backed securities may be guaranteed up to
certain amounts and for a certain time period by a letter of credit or a pool
insurance policy issued by a financial institution unaffiliated with the issuer
or other credit enhancements may be present.
 
Each Fund also may seek to enhance income or to reduce the risks associated with
ownership of the securities in which it invests through the use

'Hedging and Related Income Strategies' and 'Dollar Rolls and Reverse Repurchase
Agreements'.
 
INVESTMENT GRADE INCOME FUND. Investment Grade Income Fund invests in a
diversified range of investment grade bonds and other fixed income securities.
Investment grade bonds are those bonds that, at the time of purchase, are
assigned one of the four highest grades by S&P or Moody's, are comparably rated
by another NRSRO or, if unrated, are determined by Mitchell Hutchins to be of
comparable quality to such rated securities. Under normal circumstances, the
Fund invests at least 65% of its total assets in investment grade corporate
bonds and securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies
or instrumentalities. Up to 35% of the Fund's total assets may be invested in
corporate bonds that are below investment grade, preferred stocks, convertible
securities, certain mortgage- and asset-backed securities described below,
commercial paper or variable amount master notes issued by companies having at
the time of purchase an issue of outstanding debt securities rated investment
grade by S&P or Moody's or commercial paper rated A-1 by S&P or P-1 by Moody's,
and other money market instruments, including repurchase agreements. Up to 20%
of the Fund's net assets may be invested in U.S. dollar-denominated securities
of foreign issuers or foreign branches of U.S. banks that are traded in the U.S.
securities markets, or in U.S. dollar-denominated securities the value of which
is linked to the value of foreign currencies. The Fund may also seek to enhance
income or to reduce the risks associated with ownership of the securities in
which it invests through the use of options, futures contracts, options on
futures contracts and interest rate protection transactions. See 'Hedging and
Related Income Strategies.'
 
Investment Grade Income Fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities that are
issued or guaranteed as to the payment of principal and interest (but not as to
market value) by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities or
issued by private issuers and rated in the four highest ratings of S&P or
Moody's. The Fund also may invest in asset-backed securities that are rated in
the two highest ratings assigned by S&P or Moody's. See 'Risk Factors.' The Fund
may invest up to 10% of its total assets in classes of mortgage-backed
securities that receive different proportions of the interest and principal
distributions from the underlying mortgage assets. See 'Risks of Mortgage- and
Asset-Backed Securities.'
 
During its 1995 fiscal year, Investment Grade Income Fund had 100% of its
average annual net assets in debt securities that received a rating from S&P or
Moody's or another NRSRO. The Fund had the following percentages of its average
annual net assets invested in rated securities: AAA/Aaa (including cash
items) -- 13%, AA/Aa -- 7%, A/A -- 35%, BBB/Baa -- 29%, BB/Ba -- 15%, B/B -- 1%
and CCC/Caa -- 0%. It should be noted that this information reflects the average
composition of the Fund's assets during the fiscal year ended November 30, 1995
and is not necessarily representative of the Fund's assets as of the end of that
fiscal year, the current fiscal year or at any time in the future.
 
HIGH INCOME FUND.  High Income Fund invests primarily in a diversified range of
high risk, high yield medium to lower quality bonds. Generally, higher yielding
bonds carry ratings assigned by S&P, Moody's or another NRSRO that are lower
than those assigned to investment grade bonds, or are unrated, and thus carry
higher investment risk than investment grade bonds. See 'Risks of Lower Rated
Securities.' Under normal circumstances, at least 65% of the Fund's total assets
are invested in high risk, high yielding, income-producing corporate debt
securities that at the time of purchase are rated B or better by S&P or Moody's,
comparably rated by another NRSRO or are unrated but determined to be of
comparable quality by Mitchell Hutchins.
 
Up to 35% of the Fund's total assets may be invested in debt securities rated
below B by S&P

or Moody's or comparably rated by another NRSRO, preferred stocks, securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities,
equity securities (including common stocks, warrants and rights) which may be
attached to fixed income securities or as a part of a unit including fixed
income securities or in connection with a conversion or exchange of fixed income
securities, and money market instruments, including repurchase agreements. The
Fund may invest in securities selling at a substantial discount from par.
 
High Income Fund is permitted to invest up to 25% of its total assets in
securities that do not currently provide income but that Mitchell Hutchins
believes have the potential for capital appreciation. These securities include
debt securities that are not currently paying income and equity securities, such
as common stock, warrants, rights and preferred stocks, that are not paying
current income. The Fund may invest up to 35% of its net assets in securities of
foreign issuers, with no more than 10% of its net assets in securities of
foreign issuers that are denominated and traded in currencies other than the
U.S. dollar. The Fund may also seek to enhance income or to reduce the risks
associated with ownership of the debt securities in which it invests through the
use of options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, forward
currency contracts and interest rate protection transactions. See 'Hedging and
Related Income Strategies.'
 
During its 1995 fiscal year, High Income Fund had 80% of its average annual net
assets in debt securities that received a rating from S&P or Moody's or another
NRSRO and 15% of its average annual net assets in debt securities that were not
so rated. The Fund had the following percentages of its average annual net
assets invested in rated securities: AAA/Aaa (including cash items) -- 2%,
AA/Aa -- 0%, A/A -- 0%, BBB/Baa -- 0%, BB/Ba -- 21%, B/B -- 51%, CCC/Caa -- 6%.
It should be noted that this information reflects the average composition of the
Fund's assets during the fiscal year ended November 30, 1995 and is not
necessarily representative of the Fund's assets as of the end of that fiscal
year, the current fiscal year or at any time in the future.
 
OTHER INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISK FACTORS
 
RISK FACTORS.  Each Fund's net asset value fluctuates based on changes in the
value of its portfolio securities. Neither the issuance by, nor the guarantee
of, a U.S. government agency, nor even the highest rating by a NRSRO constitutes
assurance that the security will not fluctuate in value or that a Fund will
receive the originally anticipated yield on the security. An investment in a
Fund also is subject to the risks discussed below.
 
 -- INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY.  The investment income of each Fund is based on
the income earned on the securities it holds, less expenses incurred; thus, the
Fund's investment income may be expected to fluctuate in response to changes in
such expenses or income. The investment income of a Fund also may be affected if
it experiences a net inflow of new money that is then invested in securities
whose yield is higher or lower than that earned on then-current investments.
Generally, the value of the debt securities held by the Funds, and thus the net
asset value per share of each Fund, will rise when interest rates decline.
Conversely, when interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities, and
thus the net asset value per share of each Fund, may be expected to decline.
 
 -- RISKS OF MORTGAGE- AND ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES. The yield characteristics of
the mortgage- and asset-backed securities in which U.S. Government Income Fund,
Low Duration Income Fund and Investment Grade Income Fund may invest differ from
those of traditional debt securities. Among the major differences are that
interest and principal payments are made more frequently on mortgage- and
asset-backed securities (usually monthly) and that principal may be prepaid at
any time because the underlying mortgage loans or other assets generally may be
prepaid at any time. As a result, if a Fund purchases these

securities at a premium, a prepayment speed that is faster than expected will
reduce yield to maturity, while a prepayment speed that is slower than expected
will have the opposite effect of increasing yield to maturity. Conversely, if a
Fund purchases these securities at a discount, faster than expected prepayments
will increase, while slower than expected prepayments will reduce, yield to
maturity. Amounts available for reinvestment by a Fund are likely to be greater
during a period of declining interest rates and, as a result, are likely to be
reinvested at lower interest rates than during a period of rising interest
rates. Accelerated prepayments on securities purchased by a Fund at a premium
also impose a risk of loss of principal because the premium may not have been
fully amortized at the time the principal is prepaid in full. The market for
privately issued mortgage- and asset-backed securities is smaller and less
liquid than the market for U.S. government mortgage-backed securities. CMO
classes may be specially structured in a manner that provides any of a wide
variety of investment characteristics, such as yield, effective maturity and
interest rate sensitivity. As market conditions change, however, and
particularly during periods of rapid or unanticipated changes in market interest
rates, the attractiveness of the CMO classes and the ability of the structure to
provide the anticipated investment characteristics may be significantly reduced.
These changes can result in volatility in the market value and, in some
instances, reduced liquidity, of the CMO class.
 
Certain classes of CMOs and other mortgage-backed securities are structured in a
manner that makes them extremely sensitive to changes in prepayment speeds.
Interest-only ('IO') and principal-only ('PO') classes are examples of this. IOs
are entitled to receive all or a portion of the interest, but none (or only a
nominal amount) of the principal payments, from the underlying mortgage assets.
If the mortgage assets underlying an IO experience greater than anticipated
principal prepayments, then the total amount of interest payments allocable to
the IO class, and therefore the yield to investors, generally will be reduced.
In some instances, an investor in an IO may fail to recoup all of his or her
initial investment, even if the security is government issued or guaranteed or
is rated AAA or the equivalent. Conversely, PO classes are entitled to receive
all or a portion of the principal payments, but none of the interest, from the
underlying mortgage assets. PO classes are purchased at substantial discounts
from par, and the yield to investors will be reduced if principal payments are
slower than expected. Some IOs and POs, as well as other CMO classes, are
structured to have special protections against the effects of prepayments. These
structural protections, however, normally are effective only within certain
ranges of prepayment rates and thus will not protect investors in all
circumstances.
 
While Low Duration Income Fund generally may invest in CMO classes that are
structured to sell at a premium or a discount or that are sensitive to changes
in prepayment speeds, that Fund may not invest in IO or PO classes. U.S.
Government Income Fund and Investment Grade Income Fund are not subject to any
similar limitation.
 
Some CMO classes are structured to pay interest at rates that are adjusted in
accordance with a formula, such as a multiple or fraction of the change in a
specified interest rate index, so as to pay at a rate that will be attractive in
certain interest rate environments but not in others. For example, an inverse
floating rate CMO class pays interest at a rate that increases as a specified
interest rate index decreases but decreases as that index increases. For other
CMO classes, the yield may move in the same direction as market interest
rates -- i.e., the yield may increase as rates increase and decrease as rates
decrease -- but may do so more rapidly or to a greater degree. The market value
of such securities generally is more volatile than that of a fixed rate
obligation. Such interest rate formulas may be combined with other CMO
characteristics. For example, a CMO class may be an 'inverse IO,' on which the
holders are entitled to receive no payments of principal and are entitled to
receive interest at a rate that will vary inversely with a specified index or a

multiple thereof. Low Duration Income Fund may not invest in inverse floating
rate mortgage-or asset-backed securities. U.S. Government Income Fund and
Investment Grade Income Fund are not subject to any similar limitation.
 
During 1994, the value and liquidity of many mortgage-backed securities declined
sharply due primarily to increases in interest rates. There can be no assurance
that such declines will not recur. The market value of certain mortgage-backed
securities, including IO and PO classes of mortgage-backed securities and
inverse floating rate securities, can be extremely volatile and these securities
may become illiquid. Mitchell Hutchins or PIMCO, as applicable, seeks to manage
each Fund so that the volatility of the Fund's portfolio, taken as a whole, is
consistent with the Fund's investment objective. If market interest rates or
other factors that affect the volatility of securities held by a Fund change in
ways that Mitchell Hutchins or PIMCO does not anticipate, the Fund's ability to
meet its investment objective may be reduced.
 
See Appendix A to this Prospectus for more information concerning the types of
mortgage-backed securities in which U.S. Government Income Fund, Low Duration
Income Fund and Investment Grade Income Fund may invest.
 
 -- RATINGS OF DEBT SECURITIES.  Ratings of debt securities represent the
NRSROs' opinions regarding their quality, are not a guarantee of quality and may
be reduced after a Fund has acquired the security. Mitchell Hutchins or PIMCO
would consider such an event in determining whether the Fund should continue to
hold the security but is not required to dispose of it. 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, NRSROs may fail to make timely changes in
credit ratings in response to subsequent events, so that an issuer's financial
condition may be better or worse than the rating indicates. See Appendix B to
this Prospectus for further information regarding S&P's or Moody's ratings.
 
 -- RISKS OF LOWER RATED SECURITIES.  High Income Fund may invest all of its
assets in corporate bonds rated below investment grade and Investment Grade
Income Fund may invest up to 35% of its assets in such bonds. Investment Grade
Income Fund must normally invest at least 65% of its assets in debt securities
rated investment grade. Investment grade bonds include debt securities rated BBB
by S&P, Baa by Moody's or comparably rated by another NRSRO. 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
for such securities to make principal and interest payments than is the case for
higher grade debt securities. Debt securities rated below investment grade are
deemed by these agencies to be predominately speculative with respect to the
issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal and may involve major risk
exposure to adverse conditions. Such securities are commonly referred to as
'junk bonds.' Investment Grade Income Fund and High Income Fund each may invest
up to 35% of its assets in debt securities rated lower than B, which include
securities that are in default or face the risk of default with respect to the
payment of principal or interest. Such securities are generally unsecured and
are often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer. To the extent a Fund is
required to seek recovery upon a default in the payment of principal or interest
on its portfolio holdings, the Fund may incur additional expenses and may have
limited legal recourse in the event of a default. Investment Grade Income Fund
and High Income Fund are also permitted to purchase debt securities that are not
rated by a NRSRO but that Mitchell Hutchins determines to be of comparable
quality to that of rated securities in which those Funds may invest. Such
securities are included in the computation of any percentage limitations
applicable to the comparable rated securities. In the event that, due to a
downgrade of one or more debt securities, an

amount in excess of 35% of Investment Grade Income Fund's total assets is held
in securities rated below investment grade and comparable unrated securities,
Mitchell Hutchins will engage in an orderly disposition of such securities to
the extent necessary to reduce the Fund's holdings of these securities to 35% of
total assets.
 
Lower rated debt securities generally offer a higher current yield than that
available from higher grade issues, but 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 fluctuation 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 principal and interest 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 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 securities generally is thinner
and less active than that for higher quality securities, which may limit a
Fund's ability to sell such securities at fair value in response to changes in
the economy or the 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.
 
Although Mitchell Hutchins will attempt to minimize the speculative risks
associated with investments in such securities through diversification, credit
analysis and attention to current trends in interest rates and other factors,
investors should carefully review the objectives and policies of Investment
Grade Income Fund and High Income Fund and consider their ability to assume the
investment risks involved before making an investment in these Funds.
 
 -- RISKS OF ZERO COUPON SECURITIES.  Each Fund may invest in certain zero
coupon securities that are 'stripped' U.S. Treasury notes and bonds. High Income
Fund may also invest in zero coupon securities of corporate issuers and other
securities that are issued with original issue discount ('OID') and
payment-in-kind ('PIK') securities. Zero coupon securities pay no interest to
holders prior to maturity. Zero coupon securities usually trade at a substantial
discount from their face or par value; PIK securities often trade at a discount
from their face or par value. Both zero coupon and PIK securities are subject to
greater fluctuations of market value in response to changing interest rates than
debt obligations of comparable maturities that make current distributions of
interest in cash.
 
Federal tax law requires that a holder of a security with OID accrue a portion
of the OID on the security as income each year, even though the holder may
receive no interest payment on the security during the year. Accordingly,
although the investing Fund will receive no payments on its zero coupon
securities prior to their maturity or disposition, it will have income
attributable to such securities. Similarly, while PIK securities may pay
interest in the form of additional securities rather than cash, that interest
must be included in High Income Fund's annual income.

Companies such as the Funds, which seek to qualify for pass-through federal
income tax treatment as regulated investment companies, must distribute
substantially all of their net investment income each year, including non-cash
income. Accordingly, each Fund will be required to include in its dividends an
amount equal to the income attributable to its zero coupon securities, other OID
and PIK securities. See 'Taxes' in the Statement of Additional Information.
Those dividends will be paid from the cash assets of a Fund or by liquidation of
portfolio securities, if necessary, at a time when the Fund otherwise might not
have done so.
 
 -- RISKS OF FOREIGN SECURITIES.  Investment Grade Income Fund may invest up to
20% of its net assets in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers
or foreign branches of U.S. banks that are traded in the U.S. securities
markets, or in U.S. dollar-denominated securities the value of which is linked
to the value of foreign currencies. High Income Fund may invest up to 35% of its
net assets in securities of foreign issuers, with no more than 10% of its net
assets in securities of foreign issuers that are denominated and traded in
currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The foreign securities in which these
Funds may invest involve risks relating to political, social and economic
developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from the differences between the
regulations to which U.S. and foreign issuers and markets are subject.
Individual foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S.
economy. Securities of many foreign companies may be less liquid and their
prices more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. Foreign
securities may from time to time be difficult 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 Funds than is available concerning U.S. issuers.
 
High Income Fund and Investment Grade Income Fund each may invest in dollar-
denominated securities whose value is linked to the value of foreign currencies,
and High Income Fund may invest in non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities.
Accordingly, changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the Fund's
net asset value, the value of dividends and interest earned, gains and losses
realized on the sale of securities and net investment income to be distributed
to shareholders by the Fund. In addition, some foreign currency values may be
volatile, and there is the possibility of governmental controls on currency
exchange or governmental intervention in currency markets. Any of these factors
could adversely affect the Fund.
 
The costs attributable to foreign investing that High Income Fund must bear
frequently are higher than those attributable to domestic investing. For
example, the costs of maintaining custody of securities in foreign countries
exceed custodian costs related to domestic securities.
 
High Income Fund may enter into forward currency contracts to set the rate at
which currency exchanges will be made for specific contemplated transactions.
The Fund might also enter into forward currency contracts for the purchase or
sale of a specified currency at a specified future date either with respect to
contemplated transactions or with respect to portfolio positions. For example,
when Mitchell Hutchins anticipates making a currency exchange transaction in
connection 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 denominated in that currency.
 
High Income 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 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 another. 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 foreign currencies.
 
High Income Fund may also write covered put and call options and purchase put
and call options on foreign currencies to hedge against movements in currency
exchange rates. The risks of these hedging strategies are similar to those of
the other hedging strategies in which the Fund may engage, as described under
'Hedging and Related Income Strategies.' See the Statement of Additional
Information for more information on currency hedging strategies.
 
HEDGING AND RELATED INCOME STRATEGIES.  Each Fund may use options (both
exchange-traded and over-the-counter ('OTC'), futures contracts and interest
rate protection transactions to attempt to enhance income and to reduce the
overall risk of its investments (hedge). Hedging strategies may be used in an
attempt to manage a Fund's average duration and other risks of its investments,
which can affect fluctuations in the Fund's net asset value. A Fund's ability to
use these strategies may be limited by market conditions, regulatory limits and
tax considerations. The use of options and futures solely to enhance income may
be considered a form of speculation. Appendix C to this Prospectus describes the
hedging instruments that the Funds may use, and the Statement of Additional
Information contains further information on these strategies.
 
Each Fund may write (sell) covered call and put options, buy call and put
options, buy and sell interest rate futures contracts and buy call or put
options or write covered call options on such futures contracts. In addition,
Low Duration Income Fund may buy and sell debt security index futures contracts.
Each Fund may enter into options and futures contracts under which the full
value of its portfolio is at risk. Under normal circumstances, however, a Fund's
use of these instruments will place at risk a much smaller portion of its
assets.
 
The Funds may 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 a portfolio or to protect against any
increase in the price of securities a Fund anticipates purchasing at a later
date. A Fund will enter into interest rate protection transactions only with
banks and recognized securities dealers believed by Mitchell Hutchins or PIMCO
to present minimal credit risks in accordance with guidelines established by the
Trust's board of trustees. A Fund would use these transactions as a hedge and
not as a speculative investment.
 
The Funds might not employ any of the strategies described above, and no
assurance can be given that any strategy used will succeed. If Mitchell Hutchins
or PIMCO incorrectly forecasts interest rates, market values or other economic
factors in utilizing a strategy for a Fund, the Fund would be in a better
position if it had not entered into the transaction 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
Funds' securities, (2) possible imperfect correlation, or even no correlation,
between price 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 possible inability of a 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
a 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 a Fund to close out or to
liquidate its hedged position.
 
DERIVATIVES.  Some of the instruments described above may be referred to as
'derivatives,' because their value depends on (or 'derives' from) the value of
an underlying asset, reference rate or index. These instruments include options,
futures contracts, interest rate protection con-

tracts and similar instruments that may be used in hedging and related income
strategies. There is only limited consensus as to what constitutes a
'derivative' security. However, in Mitchell Hutchins' and PIMCO's view,
derivatives also include 'stripped' securities, such as CATS and TIGRs,
specially structured types of mortgage-and asset-backed securities, such as IOs,
POs and inverse floaters, and dollar denominated securities whose value is
linked to foreign currencies. The market value of derivative instruments and
securities sometimes is more volatile than that of other investments, and each
type of derivative may pose its own special risks. Mitchell Hutchins and PIMCO
take these risks into account in their management of the Funds.
 
DOLLAR ROLLS AND REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS.  U.S. Government Income Fund and
Low Duration Income Fund each may enter into dollar rolls, in which the Fund
sells mortgage-backed or other securities for delivery in the current month and
simultaneously contracts to purchase substantially similar securities on a
specified future date. In the case of dollar rolls involving mortgage-backed
securities, the mortgage-backed securities that are purchased will be of the
same type and will have the same interest rate as those sold, but will be
supported by different pools of mortgages. The Fund forgoes principal and
interest paid during the roll period on the securities sold, but the Fund is
compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the lower
price for the future purchase as well as by any interest earned on the proceeds
of the securities sold. The Fund also could be compensated through the receipt
of fee income equivalent to a lower forward price.
 
U.S. Government Income Fund and Low
Duration Income Fund each may also enter into reverse repurchase agreements in
which the Fund sells securities to a bank or dealer and agrees to repurchase
them at a mutually agreed-upon date and price. The market value of securities
sold under reverse repurchase agreements typically is greater than the proceeds
of the sale, and accordingly, the market value of the securities sold is likely
to be greater than the value of the securities in which the Fund invests those
proceeds. Thus, reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the buyer of
the securities sold by the Fund might be unable to deliver them when the Fund
seeks to repurchase. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse
repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, such buyer or
its trustee or receiver may receive an extension of time to determine whether to
enforce the Fund's obligation to repurchase the securities and the Fund's use of
the proceeds of the reverse repurchase agreement may effectively be restricted
pending such decision.
 
The dollar rolls and reverse repurchase agreements entered into by U.S.
Government Income Fund and Low Duration Income Fund normally will be arbitrage
transactions in which the Fund will maintain an offsetting position in
securities or repurchase agreements that mature on or before the settlement date
on the related dollar roll or reverse repurchase agreement. Because a Fund will
receive interest on the securities or repurchase agreements in which it invests
the transaction proceeds, such transactions may involve leverage. However,
because such securities or repurchase agreements will mature on or before the
settlement date on the related dollar roll or reverse repurchase agreement,
Mitchell Hutchins and PIMCO believe that such arbitrage transactions do not
present the risks to the Funds that are associated with other types of leverage.
 
Dollar rolls and reverse repurchase agreements will be considered to be
borrowings and, accordingly, will be subject to each Fund's limitations on
borrowings, which will restrict the aggregate of such transactions (plus any
other borrowings) to 33 1/3% of each Fund's total assets. The Funds will not
enter into dollar rolls or reverse repurchase agreements, other than in
arbitrage transactions as described above, in an aggregate amount in excess of
5% of each Fund's total assets. The Funds have no present intention to enter
into dollar rolls other than in such arbi-

trage transactions, and have no present intention to enter into reverse
repurchase agreements other than in such arbitrage transactions or for temporary
or emergency purposes. Each Fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency
purposes, but not in excess of an additional 5% of its total assets.
 
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS.  Each Fund may use repurchase agreements. Repurchase
agreements are transactions in which a 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 or upon demand and at a price
reflecting a market rate of interest unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of
the purchased securities. Repurchase agreements carry certain risks not
associated with direct investments in securities, including possible decline in
the market value of the underlying securities and delays and costs to the Fund
if the other party to the repurchase agreement becomes insolvent. Each Fund
intends to enter into repurchase agreements only with banks and dealers in
transactions believed by Mitchell Hutchins or PIMCO to present minimum credit
risks in accordance with guidelines established by the Trust's board of
trustees.
 
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES. Each Fund may purchase debt
securities, including mortgage- and asset-backed securities, on a 'when-issued'
basis or may purchase or sell securities for 'delayed delivery.' In when-issued
or delayed delivery transactions, delivery of the securities 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 a Fund purchases securities on a when-issued or delayed 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 conditions, a Fund's
when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments could cause its net asset
value per share to be more volatile, because such securities 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.  Each Fund may invest up to 10% (15% for Low Duration
Income Fund) 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 price at
which the Fund has valued the securities. Under current guidelines of the staff
of the SEC, IOs and POs are considered illiquid. However, IO and PO classes of
fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities issued by the U.S. government or one of
its agencies or instrumentalities will not be considered illiquid if Mitchell
Hutchins has determined that they are liquid pursuant to guidelines established
by the Trust's board of trustees. Illiquid securities also are considered to
include, among other things, written OTC options, repurchase agreements with
maturities in excess of seven days and securities whose disposition is
restricted under the federal securities laws (other than 'Rule 144A' securities
that Mitchell Hutchins or PIMCO has determined to be liquid under procedures
approved by the Trust's board of trustees).
 
Rule 144A establishes a 'safe harbor' from the requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933 ('1933 Act'). 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. An insufficient number of qualified institutional
buyers interested in purchasing Rule 144A-eligible restricted securities held by
a 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.
 
A Fund may not be able to sell illiquid securities when Mitchell Hutchins or
PIMCO considers it desirable to do so or may have to sell such

securities at a price lower than could be obtained if they were more liquid.
Also the sale of illiquid securities may require more time and may result in
higher dealer discounts and other selling expenses than does the sale of
securities that are not illiquid. Illiquid securities may be more difficult to
value due to the unavailability of reliable market quotations for such
securities.
 
LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES.  Each Fund is authorized to lend up to 33- 1/3%
of the total value of its portfolio securities to broker-dealers or
institutional investors that Mitchell Hutchins deems qualified. Lending
securities enables the Fund to earn additional income, but could result in a
loss or delay in recovering the securities.
 
DURATION.  Duration is a measure of the expected life of a fixed income security
that was developed as a more precise alternative to the concept 'term to
maturity.' Duration incorporates a bond's yield, coupon interest payments, final
maturity and call features into one measure and is one of the fundamental tools
used by Mitchell Hutchins or PIMCO, as applicable, in portfolio selection for
the Funds. Traditionally, a debt security's 'term to maturity' has been used as
a proxy for the sensitivity of the security's price to changes in interest rates
(which is the 'interest rate risk' or 'volatility' of the security). However,
'term to maturity' measures only the time until a debt security provides for a
final payment, taking no account of the pattern of the security's payments prior
to maturity. Duration is a measure of the expected life of a fixed income
security on a present value basis. Duration takes the length of the time
intervals between the present time and the time that the interest and the
principal payments are scheduled to be made or, in the case of a callable bond,
expected to be received, and weights them by the present values of the cash to
be received at each future point in time. For any fixed income security with
interest payments occurring prior to the payment of principal, duration is
always less than maturity. For example, depending upon its coupon and the level
of market yields, a Treasury note with a remaining maturity of five years might
have a duration of 4.5 years. For mortgage-backed and other securities that are
subject to prepayments, put or call features or adjustable coupons, the
difference between the remaining stated maturity and the duration is likely to
be much greater.
 
Futures, options and options on futures have durations that, in general, are
closely related to the duration of the securities that underlie them. Holding
long futures or call option positions (backed by a segregated account of cash
and liquid securities) will lengthen a Fund's duration by approximately the same
amount as would holding an equivalent amount of the underlying securities. Short
futures or put options have durations roughly equal to the negative duration of
the securities that underlie these positions, and have the effect of reducing
portfolio duration by approximately the same amount as would selling an
equivalent amount of the underlying securities.
 
There are some situations in which the standard duration calculation does not
properly reflect the interest rate exposure of a security. For example, floating
and variable rate securities often have final maturities of ten or more years;
however, their interest rate exposure corresponds to the frequency of the coupon
reset. Another example where the interest rate exposure is not properly captured
by the standard duration calculation is the case of mortgage-backed securities.
The stated final maturity of such securities is generally 30 years, but current
prepayment rates are critical in determining the securities' interest rate
exposure. In these and other similar situations, Mitchell Hutchins and PIMCO
will use more sophisticated analytical techniques that incorporate the economic
life of a security into the determination of its duration and, therefore, its
interest rate exposure.
 
Duration allows Mitchell Hutchins or PIMCO to make certain predictions as to the
effect that changes in the level of interest rates will have on the value of a
Fund's portfolio. For example, when the level of interest rates increases by 1%,
a fixed income security having a positive duration of three years generally will
decrease in

value by approximately 3%. Accordingly, if Mitchell Hutchins or PIMCO calculates
the duration of the Fund's portfolio as being three years, it normally would
expect the portfolio to change in value by approximately 3% for every 1% change
in the level of interest rates. However, various factors, such as changes in
anticipated prepayment rates, qualitative considerations and market supply and
demand, can cause particular securities to respond somewhat differently to
changes in interest rates than indicated in the above example. Moreover, in the
case of mortgage-backed and other complex securities, duration calculations are
estimates and are not precise. This is particularly true during periods of
market volatility. Accordingly, the net asset value of a Fund's portfolio may
vary in relation to interest rates by a greater or lesser percentage than
indicated by the above example.
 
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER.  Each Fund's portfolio turnover rate may vary greatly from
year to year and will not be a limiting factor when Mitchell Hutchins or PIMCO
deems portfolio changes appropriate. A higher turnover rate for a particular
Fund (100% or more) will involve correspondingly greater transaction costs,
which will be borne directly by the Fund, and may increase the potential for
short-term capital gains.
 
OTHER INVESTMENT POLICIES.  Each Fund may hold up to 35% of its total assets in
cash or money market instruments for liquidity purposes or pending investment.
In addition, when Mitchell Hutchins or PIMCO believes unusual circumstances
warrant a defensive position, each Fund temporarily may commit all or any
portion of its assets to cash or money market instruments. Such instruments may
include obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities,
commercial paper rated at least A-1 by S&P or P-1 by Moody's (Low Duration
Income Fund and Investment Grade Income Fund) or without regard to rating (High
Income Fund), bank certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and repurchase
agreements secured by any of the foregoing. The money market investments of U.S.
Government Income Fund are limited to obligations of the U.S. government, its
agencies and instrumentalities and repurchase agreements secured by such
obligations. The Funds may also engage in short sales of securities 'against the
box' to defer realization of gains or losses for tax purposes.
 
Investment Grade Income Fund and High Income Fund each may enter into reverse
repurchase agreements with banks and dealers and may borrow money for temporary
or emergency purposes, but not in excess of 10% of its total assets. Investment
Grade Income Fund and High Income Fund each may invest up to 5% of its net
assets in participations in, or assignments of, all or a portion of secured or
unsecured fixed or floating rate loans arranged through private negotiations
between a borrowing corporation and one or more financial institutions.
 
New types of mortgage- and asset-backed securities, derivative securities,
hedging instruments and risk management techniques are developed and marketed
from time to time. Each Fund may invest in these securities and instruments and
use these techniques to the extent consistent with its investment objective and
limitations and with regulatory and tax considerations.

Fund also are offered for sale to the trustee of the PW SIP, a defined
contribution plan sponsored by Paine Webber Group Inc. ('PW Group'). The trustee
of the PW SIP purchases Class Y shares to implement the investment choices of
individual plan participants with respect to their PW SIP contributions.
Individual plan participants should consult the Plan Information Statement and
Summary Plan Description of the PW SIP (collectively, 'Plan Documents') for a
description of the procedures and limitations applicable to making and changing
investment choices. Copies of the Plan Documents are available from the
PaineWebber Incorporated Benefits Department, 10th Floor, 1000 Harbor Boulevard,
Weehawken, New Jersey 07087 (telephone 1-201-902-4444).
 
As described in the Plan Documents, the average net asset value per share at
which Class Y shares of U.S. Government Income Fund are purchased by the trustee
of the PW SIP for the accounts of individual participants might be more or less
than the net asset value per share prevailing at the time that such participants
made their investment choices or made their contributions to the PW SIP.

ACQUISITION OF CLASS Y SHARES BY OTHERS. Each Fund is authorized to offer Class
Y shares to other employee benefit and retirement plans of PW Group and its
affiliates and certain other investment programs that are sponsored by
PaineWebber and that may invest in PaineWebber mutual funds. At present,
however, INSIGHT participants and the PW SIP are the only purchasers in these

                                  REDEMPTIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Class Y shares may be redeemed at their net asset value and redemption proceeds
will be paid after receipt of a redemption request, as described below.
 
REDEMPTIONS THROUGH PAINEWEBBER OR CORRESPONDENT FIRMS.  Investors who have an
account with PaineWebber or one of PaineWebber's correspondent firms may submit
redemption requests to their investment executives or correspondent firms in
person or by telephone, mail or wire. As each Fund's agent, PaineWebber may
honor a redemption request by repurchasing Class Y shares from a redeeming
shareholder at the shares' net asset value next determined after receipt of the
request by PaineWebber's New York City offices. Within three Business Days after
receipt of the request, repurchase proceeds 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 responsible for
promptly forwarding redemption requests to 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.
 
PaineWebber reserves the right not to honor 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.  Shareholders also may redeem Class Y
shares through each Fund's transfer agent, PFPC Inc. 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,' and redemption proceeds will be paid within seven days of the
receipt of the request. '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 the Fund account be redeemed), signed by all registered owners of
the shares in the exact names in which they are registered, (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 exchange and (3) other supporting
legal documents for estates, trusts, guardianships, custodianships, partnerships
and corporations. Shareholders are responsible for ensuring that a request for
redemption is received in 'good order.'
 
REDEMPTIONS FOR PARTICIPANTS IN THE PW SIP. The trustee of the PW SIP redeems
Class Y shares of U.S. Government Income Fund to implement the investment
choices of individual plan participants with respect to their PW SIP
contributions, as described in the Plan Documents referenced under 'Purchases'
above. As described in the Plan Documents, the average net asset value per share
at which Class Y shares are redeemed by the trustee of the PW SIP might be more
or less than the net asset value per share prevailing at

the time that such participants made their investment choices.
 
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON REDEMPTIONS.  A shareholder (other than a participant
in the PW SIP) may have redemption proceeds of $1 million or more wired to the
shareholder's PaineWebber brokerage account or a commercial bank account
designated by the shareholder. Questions about this option, or redemption
requirements generally, should be referred to the shareholder's PaineWebber
investment executive or correspondent firm. If a shareholder requests redemption
of shares which were purchased recently, a Fund may delay payment until it is
assured that good payment has been received. In the case of purchases by check,
this can take up to 15 days.
 
Because each Fund incurs certain fixed costs in maintaining shareholder
accounts, it reserves the right to redeem all Fund shares in any shareholder
account having a net asset value below the lesser of $500 or the current minimum
for initial purchases. If a Fund elects to do so, it will notify the shareholder
and provide the shareholder the opportunity to increase the amount invested to
the minimum required level or more within 60 days of the notice. A Fund will not
redeem accounts that fall below the minimum required level solely as a result of
a reduction in net asset value per share.
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              DIVIDENDS AND TAXES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
DIVIDENDS.  Dividends from each Fund's net investment income are declared daily
and paid monthly on or about the 15th day of each month. Net investment income
includes accrued interest and discount, less amortization of premium and accrued
expenses. High Income Fund may, but is not required to, distribute with any
dividend all or a portion of any net realized gains from foreign currency
transactions.
 
Substantially all of each Fund's 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, are distributed annually. A Fund may make additional distributions if
necessary to avoid a 4% excise tax on undistributed income and capital gain.
While High Income Fund will not declare any dividend in excess of the amount of
net investment income and net realized gains from foreign currency 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 dividend to a non-taxable return of capital.
 
PW SIP PARTICIPANTS:  Dividends and other distributions are paid in additional
U.S. Government Income Fund Class Y shares at net asset value unless the
Transfer Agent is instructed otherwise.
 
OTHER CLASS Y SHAREHOLDERS:  Dividends and other distributions are paid in
additional Class Y shares at net asset value, unless the shareholder has
requested cash payments. Shareholders who wish to receive dividends and/or other
distributions 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.
 
TAXES.  Each 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 short-term capital gain and,
for High Income Fund, net gains from certain foreign currency transactions) and
net capital gain that is distributed to its shareholders.

                INVESTMENT GRADE INCOME FUND    HIGH INCOME FUND
 
Each 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.
 
PW SIP PARTICIPANTS.  Qualified profit-sharing plans such as the PW SIP pay no
federal income tax. Individual participants in the PW SIP should consult the
Plan Documents and their own tax advisers for information on the tax
consequences associated with participating in the PW SIP.
 
OTHER CLASS Y SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends from a Fund's investment company taxable
income (whether paid in cash or in additional shares) generally are taxable to
its shareholders as ordinary income. Distributions of a Fund's net capital gain
(whether paid in cash or in additional shares) are taxable to its shareholders
as long-term capital gain, regardless of how long they have held their shares.
Shareholders not subject to tax on their income generally will not be required
to pay tax on amounts distributed to them.
 
Each Fund is required to withhold 31% of all dividends, capital gain
distributions 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
dividends and capital gain distributions payable to such shareholders who
otherwise are subject to backup withholding.
 
A redemption of shares of a Fund may result in taxable gain or loss to the
redeeming shareholder, depending on whether the redemption proceeds payable to
the shareholder are more or less than the shareholder's adjusted basis for the
redeemed shares. An exchange of Fund shares for shares of another PaineWebber
mutual fund generally will have similar tax consequences. In addition, if shares
of a Fund are purchased within 30 days before or after redeeming other Fund
shares at a loss, all or a portion of that loss will not be deductible and will
increase the basis of the newly acquired shares.
 
The foregoing is only a summary of some of the important federal tax
considerations generally affecting each Fund and its shareholders; see the
Statement of Additional Information for a further discussion. There may be other
federal, state or local tax considerations applicable to a particular investor.
Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisers.
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                              VALUATION OF SHARES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The net asset value of each Fund's shares fluctuates and is determined as of the
close of regular trading on the NYSE (currently 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.
 
Each 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 amortized 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. Investments of High Income Fund denominated in foreign currencies
are valued daily in U.S. dollars based on the then-prevailing exchange rate. It
should be recognized that judgment plays a greater role in valuing lower rated
debt securities in which High Income Fund and Investment Grade Income Fund may
invest, because there is less reliable, objective data available.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The Trust's board of trustees, as part of its overall management responsibility,
oversees various organizations responsible for each Fund's day-to-day
management. Mitchell Hutchins, investment adviser and administrator of each
Fund, supervises all aspects of each Fund's operations, and makes and implements
all investment decisions for U.S. Government Income Fund, Investment Grade
Income Fund and High Income Fund. Mitchell Hutchins receives a monthly fee for
these services at the annual rate of 0.50% of each Fund's average daily net
assets.
 
PIMCO, as sub-adviser for Low Duration Income Fund, makes and implements all
investment decisions for that Fund. Under the sub-advisory contract, Mitchell
Hutchins (not the Fund) pays PIMCO a fee for its services as sub-adviser at the
annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
 
Each 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 Funds incur other expenses, such as custody and transfer agency fees,
brokerage commissions, professional fees, expenses of board and shareholder
meetings, fees and expenses relating to registration of their shares, taxes and
governmental fees, fees and expenses of the trustees, costs of obtaining
insurance, expenses of printing distributed shareholder materials, and
extraordinary expenses including costs or losses in any litigation. For the
fiscal year ended November 30, 1995, U.S. Government Income Fund's expenses for
its Class Y shares, stated as a percentage of average net assets, was 0.71%. For
the fiscal period from October 20, 1995 (commencement of offering) to November
30, 1995, Low Duration Income Fund's expenses for its Class Y shares, stated as
a percentage of average net assets and annualized, was 0.99%.

                            PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Each Fund performs a standardized computation of annualized total return and may
show this return in advertisements or promotional materials. Standardized return
shows the change in value of an investment in the Fund as a steady compound
annual rate of return. Actual year-by-year returns fluctuate and may be higher
or lower than standardized return. 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.
 
Each Fund may use other total return presentations in conjunction with
standardized return. These may cover the same or different periods than those
used for standardized return and may include cumulative returns, average annual
rates, actual year-by-year rates or any combination thereof.
 
Each Fund also may advertise its yield. Yield reflects investment income net of
expenses over a 30-day (or one-month) period on a Class Y share, expressed as an
annualized percentage of the net asset value per share 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.
 
Total return and yield information reflect past performance and do 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.

ORGANIZATION.  PaineWebber Managed Investments Trust is registered with the SEC
as an open-end management investment company and was organized as a 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 Funds, one other series has been authorized.
 
The shares of beneficial interest of each Fund are divided into four classes,
designated Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares. Each class represents
interests in the same assets of the Fund. Class A, B and C differ as follows:
(1) each class has exclusive voting rights on matters pertaining to its plan of
distribution, (2) Class A shares generally are subject to an initial sales
charge, (3) Class B shares bear ongoing distribution fees, may be subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge upon most redemptions and will automatically
convert to Class A shares approximately six years after issuance, (4) Class C
shares are not subject to an initial sales charge, but are subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within one year of purchase, bear
ongoing distribution fees and do not convert into another class and (5) each
class may bear differing amounts of certain Class-specific expenses. Class Y
shares are subject to neither an initial or contingent deferred sales charge nor
ongoing service or distribution fees.
 
The different sales charges and other expenses applicable to the different
classes of each Fund's shares may affect the performance of those classes. More
information concerning the other classes of shares of the Funds may be obtained
from a PaineWebber investment executive or correspondent firm or by calling
1-800-647-1568.
 
The Trust does not hold annual shareholder meetings. There normally will be no
meetings of shareholders to elect trustees unless fewer than a majority of the
trustees of the Trust holding office have been elected by shareholders.
Shareholders of record holding at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of
the Trust may remove 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 a Fund has equal
voting rights, except as noted above. Each share of each Fund is entitled to
participate equally in dividends and other distributions and the proceeds of any
liquidation except that, due to the differing expenses borne by the four
classes, these dividends and proceeds are likely to be lower for the other
classes than for the Class Y shares. The shares of each Fund will be voted
separately except when an aggregate vote of all series is required by the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ('1940 Act').
 
To avoid additional operating costs and for investor convenience, share
certificates are not issued. Ownership of shares of each Fund is recorded on a
share 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 Heritage
Drive, North Quincy, Massachusetts 02171 is custodian of each Fund's assets and
employs foreign sub-custodians approved by the Trust's board of trustees in
accordance with the applicable requirements of the 1940 Act, to provide custody
of High Income Fund's foreign assets. PFPC Inc.,

                           MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES
 
The U.S. government securities in which U.S. Government Income Fund, Low
Duration Income Fund and Investment Grade Income Fund may invest include
mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or
Freddie Mac. While these mortgage-backed securities may be guaranteed as to
payment of interest and principal, they are not guaranteed as to market value.
Other mortgage-backed securities in which the Funds may invest will be issued by
Private Mortgage Lenders. Such private mortgage-backed securities may be
supported by pools of mortgage loans or other mortgage-backed securities that
are guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the U.S. government or one of its
agencies or instrumentalities, or they may be issued without any government
guarantee of the underlying mortgage assets but with some form of non-government
credit enhancement. New types of mortgage-backed securities are developed and
marketed from time to time and, consistent with its investment limitations, the
Funds expect to invest in those new types of mortgage-backed securities that
Mitchell Hutchins or PIMCO believes may assist the Funds in achieving their
investment objective. Similarly, the Funds may invest in mortgage-backed
securities issued by new or existing governmental or private issuers other than
those identified herein.
 
GINNIE MAE CERTIFICATES.  Ginnie Mae guarantees certain mortgage pass-through
certificates ('Ginnie Mae certificates') that are issued by Private Mortgage
Lenders and that represent ownership interests in individual pools of
residential mortgage loans. These securities are designed to provide monthly
payments of interest and principal to the investor. Timely payment of interest
and principal is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
Each mortgagor's monthly payments to his lending institution on his residential
mortgage are 'passed through' to certificateholders such as the Funds. Mortgage
pools consist of whole mortgage loans or participations in loans. The terms and
characteristics of the mortgage instruments are generally uniform within a pool
but may vary among pools. Lending institutions that originate mortgages for the
pools are subject to certain standards, including credit and other underwriting
criteria for individual mortgages included in the pools.
 
FANNIE MAE CERTIFICATES.  Fannie Mae facilitates a national secondary market in
residential mortgage loans insured or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and
in privately insured or uninsured residential mortgage loans (sometimes referred
to as 'conventional mortgage loans' or 'conventional loans') through its
mortgage purchase and mortgage-backed securities sales activities. Fannie Mae
issues guaranteed mortgage pass-through certificates ('Fannie Mae
certificates'), which represent pro rata shares of all interest and principal
payments made and owed on the underlying pools. Fannie Mae guarantees timely
payment of interest and principal on Fannie Mae certificates. The Fannie Mae
guarantee is not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
 
FREDDIE MAC CERTIFICATES.  Freddie Mac also facilitates a national secondary
market for conventional residential and U.S. government-insured mortgage loans
through its mortgage purchase and mortgage-backed securities sales activities.
Freddie Mac issues two types of mortgage pass-through securities: mortgage
participation certificates ('PCs') and guaranteed mortgage certificates
('GMCs'). Each PC represents a pro rata share of all interest and principal
payments made

and owed on the underlying pool. Freddie Mac generally guarantees timely monthly
payment of interest on PCs and the ultimate payment of principal, but it also
has a PC program under which it guarantees timely payment of both principal and
interest. GMCs also represent a pro rata interest in a pool of mortgages. These
instruments, however, pay interest semi-annually and return principal once a
year in guaranteed minimum payments. The Freddie Mac guarantee is not backed by
the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
 
PRIVATE, RTC AND SIMILAR MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES.  Mortgage-backed securities
issued by Private Mortgage Lenders are structured similarly to the pass-through
certificates and collateralized mortgage obligations ('CMOs') issued or
guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Such mortgage-backed
securities may be supported by pools of U.S. government or agency insured or
guaranteed mortgage loans or by other mortgage-backed securities issued by a
government agency or instrumentality, but they generally are supported by pools
of conventional (i.e., non-government guaranteed or insured) mortgage loans.
Since such mortgage-backed securities normally are not guaranteed by an entity
having the credit standing of Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, they
normally are structured with one or more types of credit enhancement. See
' -- Types of Credit Enhancement.' These credit enhancements do not protect
investors from changes in market value.
 
The Resolution Trust Corporation ('RTC'), which was organized by the U.S.
government in connection with the savings and loan crisis, held assets of failed
savings associations as either a conservator or receiver for such associations,
or it acquired such assets in its corporate capacity. These assets included,
among other things, single family and multifamily mortgage loans, as well as
commercial mortgage loans. In order to dispose of such assets in an orderly
manner, RTC established a vehicle registered with the SEC through which it sold
mortgage-backed securities. RTC mortgage-backed securities represent pro rata
interests in pools of mortgage loans that RTC held or acquired, as described
above, and are supported by one or more of the types of private credit
enhancements used by Private Mortgage Lenders.
 
COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS AND MULTI-CLASS MORTGAGE
PASS-THROUGHS.  CMOs are debt obligations that are collateralized by mortgage
loans or mortgage pass-through securities (such collateral collectively being
called 'Mortgage Assets'). CMOs may be issued by Private Mortgage Lenders or by
government entities such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Multi-class mortgage
pass-through securities are interests in trusts that are comprised of Mortgage
Assets and that have multiple classes similar to those in CMOs. Unless the
context indicates otherwise, references herein to CMOs include multi-class
mortgage pass-through securities. Payments of principal of, and interest on, the
Mortgage Assets (and in the case of CMOs, any reinvestment income thereon)
provide the funds to pay debt service on the CMOs or to make scheduled
distributions on the multi-class mortgage pass-through securities.
 
In a CMO, a series of bonds or certificates is issued in multiple classes. Each
class of CMO, also referred to as a 'tranche,' is issued at a specific fixed or
floating coupon rate and has a stated maturity or final distribution date.
Principal prepayments on the Mortgage Assets may cause CMOs to be retired
substantially earlier than their stated maturities or final distribution dates.
Interest is paid or accrues on all classes of a CMO (other than any PO class) on
a monthly, quarterly or semi-annual basis. The principal and interest on the
Mortgage Assets may be allocated among the several classes of a CMO in many
ways. In one structure, payments of principal, including any principal
prepayments, on the Mortgage Assets are applied to the classes of a CMO in the
order of their respective stated maturities or final distribution dates so that
no payment of principal will be made on any class of the CMO until all other
classes having an earlier stated maturity or final distribution date have been
paid in full. In some CMO structures, all or

a portion of the interest attributable to one or more of the CMO classes may be
added to the principal amounts attributable to such classes, rather than passed
through to certificateholders on a current basis, until other classes of the CMO
are paid in full.
 
Parallel pay CMOs are structured to provide payments of principal on each
payment date to more than one class. These simultaneous payments are taken into
account in calculating the stated maturity date or final distribution date of
each class, which, as with other CMO structures, must be retired by its stated
maturity date or final distribution date but may be retired earlier.
 
ARM AND FLOATING RATE MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES.  ARM mortgage-backed
securities are mortgage-backed securities that represent a right to receive
interest payments at a rate that is adjusted to reflect the interest earned on a
pool of mortgage loans bearing variable or adjustable rates of interest (such
mortgage loans are referred to as 'ARMs'). Floating rate mortgage-backed
securities are classes of mortgage-backed securities that have been structured
to represent the right to receive interest payments at rates that fluctuate in
accordance with an index but that generally are supported by pools comprised of
fixed-rate mortgage loans. Because the interest rates on ARM and Floating rate
mortgage-backed securities are reset in response to changes in a specified
market index, the values of such securities tend to be less sensitive to
interest rate fluctuations than the values of fixed-rate securities.
 
TYPES OF CREDIT ENHANCEMENT.  To lessen the effect of failures by obligors on
Mortgage Assets to make payments, mortgage-backed securities may contain
elements of credit enhancement. Such credit enhancement falls into two
categories; (1) liquidity protection and (2) protection against losses resulting
after default by an obligor on the underlying assets and collection of all
amounts recoverable directly from the obligor and through liquidation of the
collateral. Liquidity protection refers to the provision of advances, generally
by the entity administering the pool of assets (usually the bank, savings
association or mortgage banker that transferred the underlying loans to the
issuer of the security), to ensure that the receipt of payments on the
underlying pool occurs in a timely fashion. Protection against losses resulting
after default and liquidation ensures ultimate payment of the obligations on at
least a portion of the assets in the pool. Such protection may be provided
through guarantees, insurance policies or letters of credit obtained by the
issuer or sponsor, from third parties, through various means of structuring the
transaction or through a combination of such approaches. The Funds will not pay
any additional fees for such credit enhancement, although the existence of
credit enhancement may increase the price of a security. Credit enhancements do
not provide protection against changes in the market value of the security.
 
Examples of credit enhancement arising out of the structure of the transaction
include 'senior-subordinated securities' (multiple class securities with one or
more classes subordinate to other classes as to the payment of principal thereof
and interest thereon, with the result that defaults on the underlying assets are
borne first by the holders of the subordinated class), creation of 'spread
accounts' or 'reserve funds' (where cash or investments, sometimes funded from a
portion of the payments on the underlying assets, are held in reserve against
future losses) and 'over-collateralization' (where the scheduled payments on, or
the principal amount of, the underlying assets exceed that required to make
payment of the securities and pay any servicing or other fees). The degree of
credit enhancement provided for each issue generally is based on historical
information regarding the level of credit risk associated with the underlying
assets. Delinquency or loss in excess of that anticipated could adversely affect
the return on an investment in such a security.

                                    RATINGS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
DESCRIPTION OF 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 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 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:  '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 nor rate a
particular type of obligation as matter of policy.
 
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS
 
PRIME-1.  Issues assigned this highest rating have a superior ability for
repayment of senior short-term debt obligations. Prime-1 repayment ability will
often be evidenced by the following characteristics: leading market positions in
well established industries; high rates of return on funds employed;
conservative capitalization structures with moderate reliance on debt and ample
asset protection; broad margins in earnings coverage of fixed financial charges
and high internal cash generation; well established access to a range of
financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.
 
PRIME-2.  Issuers assigned this rating have a strong ability for repayment of
senior short-term debt obligations. This will normally be evidenced by many of
the characteristics cited above but to a lesser degree. Earnings trends and
coverage ratios, while sound, will be more subject to variation. Capitalization
characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more affected by external
conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.
 
PRIME-3.  Issuers assigned this rating have an acceptable capacity for repayment
of short-term promissory obligations. The effect of industry characteristics and
market composition may be more pronounced. Variability in earnings and
profitability may result in changes in the level of debt protection measurements
and the requirement for relatively high financial leverage. Adequate alternate
liquidity is maintained.
 
NOT PRIME.  Issuers assigned this rating do not fall within any of the Prime
rating categories.
 
DESCRIPTION OF S&P COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS
 
A.  Issues assigned this highest rating are regarded as having the greatest
capacity for timely payment. Issues in this category are delineated with the
numbers 1, 2 and 3 to indicate the relative degree of safety; A-1. This
designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment is
either overwhelming or very strong. Those issues determined to possess
overwhelming safety characteristics are denoted with a plus (+) sign
designation; A-2. Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is
strong. However, the relative degree of safety is

not as high as for issues designated A-1; A-3. Issues carrying this designation
have a satisfactory capacity for timely payment. They are, however, somewhat
more vulnerable to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances than
obligations carrying the higher designations; B. Issues rated B are regarded as
having only an adequate capacity for timely payment. However, such capacity may
be damaged by changing conditions or short-term adversities; C. This rating is
assigned to short-term debt obligations with a doubtful capacity for payment; D.
This rating indicates that the issue is either in default or is expected to be
in default upon maturity.

                                   APPENDIX C
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The following are descriptions of instruments that one or more of the Funds may
use:
 
OPTIONS ON DEBT SECURITIES AND FOREIGN CURRENCIES.  A call option is a
short-term contract pursuant to which the purchaser of the option, in return 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 security or
currency against payment of the exercise price. A put option is a similar
contract which 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 obligation, upon
exercise of the option during the option term, to buy the underlying security or
currency at the exercise price.
 
OPTIONS ON INDICES OF DEBT SECURITIES.  An index assigns relative values to the
securities included in the index and fluctuates with changes in the market
values of such securities. Index options operate in the same way as more
traditional options except that exercises of index options are effected with
cash payment and do not involve delivery of securities. Thus, upon exercise of
an 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.
 
DEBT SECURITY INDEX FUTURES CONTRACTS.  A debt security index 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 FUTURES CONTRACTS.  An interest rate futures contract is a
bilateral agreement pursuant to which one party agrees to make, and the other
party agrees to accept, delivery of the specified type of debt security called
for in the contract at a specified future time and at a specified price.
Although interest rate futures contracts by their terms call for actual delivery
or acceptance of debt securities, in most cases the contracts 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
options on securities, except that an option on a futures contract gives the
purchaser the right, in return for the premium paid, to assume a position in a
futures contract (a long position if the option is a call

and a short position if the option is a put), rather than to purchase or sell a
security, at a specified price at any time during the option term. Upon exercise
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 represents 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 assume 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 obligation
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 parties, at a
price set at the time the contract is entered into.

                      INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
 
     The  following  supplements  the information  contained  in  the Prospectus
concerning the investment policies and limitations of the Funds.
 
     YIELD FACTORS AND  RATINGS.  Standard  & Poor's, a  division of The  McGraw
Hill  Companies, Inc. ('S&P'),  Moody's Investors Service,  Inc. ('Moody's') and
other nationally  recognized  statistical rating  organizations  ('NRSROs')  are
private services that provide ratings of the credit quality of debt obligations.
A  description of the ratings assigned to debt obligations by S&P and Moody's is
included in Appendix B to the Prospectus.  The process by which S&P and  Moody's
determine   ratings   for   mortgage-  and   asset-backed   securities  includes
consideration of  the likelihood  of  the receipt  by  security holders  of  all
distributions,  the nature of  the underlying securities,  the credit quality of
the guarantor, if any, and the structural, legal and tax aspects associated with
such securities. Not even the highest  such ratings represents an assessment  of
the  likelihood that  principal prepayments  will be  made by  mortgagors or the
degree to which such  prepayments may differ  from that originally  anticipated,
nor  do such ratings address  the possibility that investors  may suffer a lower
than anticipated yield or that investors  in such securities may fail to  recoup
fully their initial investment due to prepayments.
 
     A  Fund may use these  ratings in determining whether  to purchase, sell or
hold a security. It should be emphasized, however, that ratings are general  and
are  not absolute standards of quality.  Consequently, debt obligations with the
same maturity, interest rate and rating may have different market prices.  Also,
rating agencies may fail to make timely changes in credit ratings in response to
subsequent  events so that an issuer's current financial condition may be better
or worse than the rating indicates. The rating assigned to a security by a NRSRO
does not reflect an assessment of the volatility of the security's market  value
or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. Subsequent to its purchase
by  any 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 that Fund.
 
     In addition  to  ratings  assigned  to  individual  bond  issues,  Mitchell
Hutchins  or  PIMCO,  as  applicable,  will  analyze  interest  rate  trends and
developments that  may  affect individual  issuers,  including factors  such  as
liquidity,  profitability  and asset  quality.  The yields  on  debt securities,
including mortgage- and asset-backed securities  in which the Funds invest,  are
dependent  on a variety  of factors, including  general money market conditions,
general conditions in the  bond market, the financial  condition of the  issuer,
the  size of the offering, the maturity of the obligation and its credit rating.
There is a  wide variation in  the quality  of bonds, both  within a  particular
classification  and between  classifications. An issuer's  obligations under its
debt securities  are subject  to the  provisions of  bankruptcy, insolvency  and
other  laws affecting the rights and remedies of bond holders or other creditors
of an issuer; litigation or other conditions may also adversely affect the power
or ability of issuers to meet their obligations for the payment of interest  and
principal on their bonds.
 
     SPECIAL  CHARACTERISTICS  OF MORTGAGE-  AND  ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES.   The
yield characteristics of mortgage- and asset-backed securities differ from those
of traditional debt securities.  Among the major  differences are that  interest
and  principal  payments are  made more  frequently,  usually monthly,  and that
principal may be prepaid  at any time because  the underlying mortgage loans  or
other obligations generally may be prepaid at any time. Prepayments on a pool of
mortgage  loans are influenced by a  variety of economic, geographic, social and
other factors, including  changes in mortgagors'  housing needs, job  transfers,
unemployment,  mortgagors' net equity in  the mortgaged properties and servicing
decisions. Generally,  however, prepayments  on fixed-rate  mortgage loans  will
increase during a period of falling interest rates and
 
                                       2

<PAGE>
decrease  during a  period of  rising interest  rates. Similar  factors apply to
prepayments  on  asset-backed   securities,  but   the  receivables   underlying
asset-backed  securities generally are  of a shorter maturity  and thus are less
likely to experience  substantial prepayments. Such  securities, however,  often
provide that for a specified time period the issuers will replace receivables in
the pool that are repaid with comparable obligations. If the issuer is unable to
do  so, repayment of principal on the asset-backed securities may commence at an
earlier date. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities  may decrease in value as  a
result  of  increases  in  interest  rates  and  may  benefit  less  than  other
fixed-income securities from  declining interest  rates because of  the risk  of
prepayment.
 
     The  rate  of  interest on  mortgage-backed  securities is  lower  than the
interest rates paid on the mortgages included in the underlying pool due to  the
annual  fees  paid to  the servicer  of  the mortgage  pool for  passing through
monthly payments to  certificateholders and  to any  guarantor, and  due to  any
yield  retained by  the issuer.  Actual yield  to the  holder may  vary from the
coupon rate, even if adjustable, if the mortgage-backed securities are purchased
or traded in the secondary market at  a premium or discount. In addition,  there
is  normally some delay  between the time the  issuer receives mortgage payments
from  the  servicer  and  the  time  the  issuer  makes  the  payments  on   the
mortgage-backed  securities, and this  delay reduces the  effective yield to the
holder of such securities.
 
     Yields on  pass-through  securities  are  typically  quoted  by  investment
dealers  and vendors based on the maturity of the underlying instruments and the
associated average  life  assumption. The  average  life of  pass-through  pools
varies  with the maturities of the underlying  mortgage loans. A pool's term may
be shortened by  unscheduled or early  payments of principal  on the  underlying
mortgages.  Because prepayment rates of individual  pools vary widely, it is not
possible to predict  accurately the average  life of a  particular pool. In  the
past, a common industry practice has been to assume that prepayments on pools of
fixed  rate 30-year  mortgages would  result in a  12-year average  life for the
pool. At  present, mortgage  pools,  particularly those  with loans  with  other
maturities  or different characteristics, are priced on an assumption of average
life determined for each pool. In periods of declining interest rates, the  rate
of prepayment tends to increase, thereby shortening the actual average life of a
pool  of mortgage-related securities. Conversely,  in periods of rising interest
rates, the rate of prepayment tends to decrease, thereby lengthening the  actual
average  life of  the pool. However,  these effects  may not be  present, or may
differ in degree, if  the mortgage loans in  the pools have adjustable  interest
rates  or  other special  payment  terms, such  as  a prepayment  charge. Actual
prepayment experience  may  cause the  yield  of mortgage-backed  securities  to
differ  from the  assumed average  life yield.  Reinvestment of  prepayments may
occur at  lower interest  rates  than the  original investment,  thus  adversely
affecting the yield of a Fund.
 
     U.S.  Government Income Fund, Low Duration Income Fund and Investment Grade
Income Fund each  may invest in  adjustable rate mortgage  ('ARM') and  floating
rate  mortgage-backed securities. Because the interest rates on ARM and floating
rate mortgage-backed securities are reset in response to changes in a  specified
market  index,  the values  of  such securities  tend  to be  less  sensitive to
interest rate  fluctuations  than the  values  of fixed-rate  securities.  As  a
result,  during periods of rising interest rates, ARMs generally do not decrease
in value  as  much as  fixed  rate  securities. Conversely,  during  periods  of
declining  rates, ARMs generally do not increase  in value as much as fixed rate
securities. ARM mortgage-backed securities represent a right to receive interest
payments at a rate that is adjusted to reflect the interest earned on a pool  of
ARMs.  ARMs generally provide that the borrower's mortgage interest rate may not
be adjusted above a specified lifetime maximum  rate or, in some cases, below  a
minimum  lifetime rate. In addition, certain ARMs provide for limitations on the
maximum amount by  which the mortgage  interest rate may  adjust for any  single
adjustment  period.  ARMs also  may provide  for limitations  on changes  in the
maximum amount by which the
 
                                       3
 

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
borrower's monthly payment may adjust for  any single adjustment period. In  the
event  that a monthly payment is not  sufficient to pay the interest accruing on
the ARM,  any such  excess interest  is added  to the  mortgage loan  ('negative
amortization'),  which is repaid through future payments. If the monthly payment
exceeds the sum of the interest accrued at the applicable mortgage interest rate
and the  principal  payment that  would  have  been necessary  to  amortize  the
outstanding  principal balance over  the remaining term of  the loan, the excess
reduces the  principal balance  of the  ARM. Borrowers  under ARMs  experiencing
negative amortization may take longer to build up their equity in the underlying
property and may be more likely to default.
 
     The rates of interest payable on certain ARMs, and therefore on certain ARM
mortgage-backed  securities, are based on indices, such as the one-year constant
maturity Treasury rate, that  reflect changes in  market interest rates.  Others
are  based on indices, such as the 11th  District Federal Home Loan Bank Cost of
Funds index ('COFI'), that tend to lag behind changes in market interest  rates.
The values of ARM mortgage-backed securities supported by ARMs that adjust based
on  lagging  indices  tend  to  be  somewhat  more  sensitive  to  interest rate
fluctuations than those  reflecting current interest  rate levels, although  the
values of such ARM mortgage-backed securities still tend to be less sensitive to
interest rate fluctuations than fixed-rate securities.
 
     Floating  rate  mortgage-backed securities  are classes  of mortgage-backed
securities that have been structured to represent the right to receive  interest
payments  at rates that fluctuate in accordance with an index but that generally
are supported  by pools  comprised of  fixed-rate mortgage  loans. As  with  ARM
mortgage-backed   securities,  interest   rate  adjustments   on  floating  rate
mortgage-backed securities  may  be based  on  indices that  lag  behind  market
interest  rates.  Interest  rates on  floating  rate  mortgage-backed securities
generally are  adjusted monthly.  Floating rate  mortgage-backed securities  are
subject  to lifetime interest rate  caps, but they generally  are not subject to
limitations on monthly or  other periodic changes in  interest rates or  monthly
payments.
 
     ARMs  also may be subject  to a greater rate  of prepayments in a declining
interest rate environment. For  example, during a  period of declining  interest
rates,  prepayments on  ARMs could  increase because  the availability  of fixed
mortgage loans  at  competitive  interest  rates  may  encourage  mortgagors  to
'lock-in'  at  a lower  interest  rate. Conversely,  during  a period  of rising
interest rates, prepayments on ARMs might decrease. The rate of prepayments with
respect to ARMs has fluctuated in recent years.
 
     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 the
dividend paid on preferred  stock until the convertible  security matures or  is
redeemed, converted or exchanged. 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
subordinate  to  comparable  nonconvertible  securities.  While  no   securities
investment  is without some risk, investment 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.
Convertible  securities  have  unique investment  characteristics  in  that they
generally (1)  have higher  yields than  common stocks,  but lower  yields  than
comparable  nonconvertible securities,  (2) are  less subject  to fluctuation in
value than the underlying stock
 
                                       4
 

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
since they have fixed income characteristics  and (3) provide the potential  for
capital  appreciation  if  the  market  price  of  the  underlying  common stock
increases.
 
     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
by  the  extent to  which  investors place  value on  the  right to  acquire the
underlying common stock while holding a fixed income security.
 
     Investment Grade Income  Fund has  no current intention  of converting  any
convertible  securities it may  own into equity  or holding them  as equity upon
conversion, although it may do so for temporary purposes. A convertible security
may be subject to redemption at the option of the issuer at a price  established
in  the convertible security's  governing instrument. If  a convertible security
held by the Fund is called for  redemption, the Fund will be required to  permit
the  issuer to redeem the security, convert  it into the underlying common stock
or sell it to a third party.
 
     ILLIQUID SECURITIES.  Each Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets (15%
for Low  Duration  Income  Fund)  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  a  Fund  has valued  the  securities  and includes,  among  other things,
purchased over-the-counter ('OTC')  options, repurchase  agreements maturing  in
more  than  seven  days  and restricted  securities  other  than  those Mitchell
Hutchins or PIMCO 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 Funds will be considered illiquid unless the OTC options are sold
to qualified dealers  who agree that  the Funds may  repurchase any OTC  options
they  write at a  maximum price to be  calculated by a formula  set forth in the
option agreements. 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'). Where registration is required, a
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.
 
                                       5
 

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
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
a  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 reasonable prices.
 
     The  Trust's  board  of  trustees  has  delegated  the  function  of making
day-to-day determinations of liquidity to  Mitchell Hutchins or PIMCO,  pursuant
to  guidelines  approved by  the board.  Mitchell Hutchins  and PIMCO  take into
account a number of factors in  reaching liquidity decisions, including but  not
limited  to (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
purchasers and (5) the nature of the security and how trading is effected (e.g.,
the time needed to sell the security, how offers are solicited and the mechanics
of transfer). Mitchell Hutchins  or PIMCO 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 a
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 or  upon demand  and at  a price  reflecting a  market rate  of
interest unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased securities. A
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 these
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 a 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 a Fund if the other party to a
repurchase  agreement  becomes  insolvent.  Each  Fund  intends  to  enter  into
repurchase agreements only with  banks and dealers  in transactions believed  by
Mitchell  Hutchins or PIMCO  to present minimum credit  risks in accordance with
guidelines established by the  Trust's board of  trustees. Mitchell Hutchins  or
PIMCO  reviews and monitors the creditworthiness of those institutions under the
board's general supervision.
 
     REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS.  As stated in the Prospectus, each Fund each
may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with banks and securities  dealers.
Such agreements involve the sale of
 
                                       6
 

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
securities  held by the Fund  subject to the Fund's  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,  a 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.  As stated in the Prospectus,
each Fund may purchase securities on a 'when-issued' or delayed delivery  basis.
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  a
Fund's  net  asset  value.  When  a 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 Funds  purchase 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 or PIMCO deems it advantageous  to do so, which may result  in
capital gain or loss to a Fund.
 
     FOREIGN  SECURITIES.  Investment Grade Income Fund  may invest up to 20% of
its net  assets in  U.S.  dollar-denominated securities  of foreign  issuers  or
foreign  branches of U.S. banks that are  traded in the U.S. securities markets,
or in U.S.  dollar-denominated securities the  value of which  is linked to  the
value  of foreign currencies. High  Income Fund may invest up  to 35% of its net
assets in securities of foreign issuers, with no more than 10% of its net assets
in securities of foreign issuers that  are denominated and traded in  currencies
other  than the  U.S. dollar.  An investment  in these  Funds may  involve risks
relating to political, social and economic developments abroad as well as  risks
resulting from the differences between the regulations to which U.S. and foreign
issuers and markets are subject. These risks include expropriation, confiscatory
taxation,  withholding  taxes,  political or  social  instability  or diplomatic
developments. Moreover,  individual foreign  economies may  differ favorably  or
unfavorably  from the U.S. economy in such  respects as growth of gross national
product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency  and
balance  of  payments positions.  To the  extent these  Funds invest  in foreign
securities, the  securities  may  not  be registered  with  the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission ('SEC'), nor  the issuers thereof  subject to its reporting
requirements. Accordingly,  there may  be  less publicly  available  information
concerning  foreign issuers of securities held  by these Funds 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.
Securities  of many foreign companies  may be less liquid  and their prices more
volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies. Transactions  in
foreign  securities may be subject to less efficient settlement practices. Legal
remedies for defaults  and disputes may  have to be  pursued in foreign  courts,
whose  procedures  differ  substantially  from  those  of  U.S.  courts. Foreign
securities trading practices,  including those  involving securities  settlement
where  High Income Fund assets may be  released prior to receipt of payment, may
expose that  Fund to  increased risk  in  the event  of a  failed trade  or  the
insolvency of a foreign broker-dealer.
 
     If  the  value of  foreign currency  rises  against the  value of  the U.S.
dollar, the value of Fund assets denominated in that currency or linked to  that
currency  will increase;  correspondingly, if  the value  of a  foreign currency
declines against  the  value  of the  U.S.  dollar,  the value  of  Fund  assets
denominated  in  that currency  or linked  to that  currency will  decrease. The
exchange rates between the  U.S. dollar and other  currencies are determined  by
supply  and demand in  the currency exchange  markets, international balances of
payments,  governmental  intervention,  speculation   and  other  economic   and
political conditions.

     The  costs  attributable to  foreign investing  borne  by High  Income Fund
frequently are  higher  than  those  attributable  to  domestic  investing.  For
example, the cost of maintaining custody of foreign securities exceeds custodian
costs  for domestic securities, and transaction  and settlement costs of foreign
investing also  frequently  are  higher  than  those  attributable  to  domestic
investing.  Costs associated with  the exchange of  currencies also make foreign
investing more expensive than domestic  investing. Investment income on  certain
foreign  securities  in which  the Fund  may  invest may  be subject  to foreign
withholding or other  government taxes  that could  reduce the  return of  these
securities.  Tax  treaties  between  the United  States  and  foreign countries,
however, may reduce or  eliminate the amount  of foreign tax  to which the  Fund
would be subject.
 
     LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES.  As indicated in the Prospectus, each Fund
is  authorized  to lend  up  to 33  1/3%  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 acceptable collateral with
the Fund's custodian, marked to market daily, in an amount at least equal to the
market  value of  the securities  loaned, plus  accrued interest  and dividends.
Acceptable collateral  is  limited  to  cash,  U.S.  government  securities  and
irrevocable  letters  of  credit  that meet  certain  guidelines  established by
Mitchell Hutchins. 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.  A  Fund will
retain authority to terminate any  loan at any time.  A Fund may pay  reasonable
administrative  and  custodial fees  in connection  with  a loan  and may  pay a
negotiated  portion  of  the  interest  earned  on  the  cash  or  money  market
instruments  held as collateral to  the borrower or placing  broker. A 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. A 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.
 
     LOAN PARTICIPATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS.  Investment Grade Income Fund and High
Income Fund each may invest up to 5%  of its net assets in secured or  unsecured
fixed  or floating  rate loans  ('Loans') arranged  through private negotiations
between  a  borrowing  corporation  and  one  or  more  financial   institutions
('Lenders').  The Fund's investments in Loans  are expected in most instances to
be in the  form of  participations ('Participations') in  Loans and  assignments
('Assignments')  of all or a portion of Loans from third parties. Participations
typically result in a  Fund's having a contractural  relationship only with  the
Lender,  not with  the borrower.  A Fund  has the  right to  receive payments of
principal, interest and any fees  to which it is  entitled only from the  Lender
selling  the Participation and only  upon receipt by the  Lender of the payments
from  the  borrower.  In  connection  with  purchasing  Participations,  a  Fund
generally  has no direct  right to enforce  compliance by the  borrower with the
terms of the  loan agreement relating  to the  Loan, nor any  rights of  set-off
against  the borrower, and the Fund may not directly benefit from any collateral
supporting the Loan in which it has purchased the Participation. As a result,  a
Fund assumes the credit risk of both the borrower and the Lender that is selling
the  Participation.  In the  event of  the  insolvency of  the Lender  selling a
Participation, a Fund may be treated as a general creditor of the Lender and may
not benefit from any set-off between the Lender and the borrower. The Funds will
acquire Participations only if the  Lender interpositioned between the Fund  and
the borrower is determined by Mitchell Hutchins to be creditworthy.
 
     When  a Fund purchases Assignments from  Lenders, it acquires direct rights
against the  borrower on  the Loan.  However, because  Assignments are  arranged
through private negotiations between potential assignees
 
                                       8

<PAGE>
and assignors, the rights and obligations acquired by a Fund as the purchaser of
an  Assignment may  differ from,  and be  more limited  than, those  held by the
assigning Lender.
 
     Assignments and Participations are generally not registered under the  1933
Act  and thus are  subject to each  Fund's limitation on  investment in illiquid
securities. Because there  is no liquid  market for such  securities, the  Funds
anticipate  that  such securities  could be  sold  only to  a limited  number of
institutional investors. The  lack of  a liquid  secondary market  will have  an
adverse  impact  on the  value of  such securities  and on  a Fund's  ability to
dispose of particular Assignments or  Participations when necessary to meet  the
Fund's  liquidity needs  or in  response to a  specific economic  event, such as
deterioration in the creditworthiness of the borrower.
 
     SEGREGATED ACCOUNTS.   When a  Fund enters into  certain transactions  that
involve  obligations to make future payments  to third parties, including dollar
rolls, 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 or liquid  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 or interest rate protection
transactions.
 
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF THE FUNDS.
 
     FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS. The  following fundamental investment  limitations
cannot  be changed for a Fund 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  of the Fund 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, later changes in  percentage resulting from a  change in values  of
portfolio  securities or  the amount  of total assets  will not  be considered a
violation  of  any  of  the  Funds'  investment  limitations,  restrictions   or
investment policies.
 
     Each Fund will not:
 
          (1)  purchase securities of any one issuer  if, as a result, more than
     5% of  the Fund's  total assets  would be  invested in  securities of  that
     issuer  or the  Fund would  own or  hold more  than 10%  of the outstanding
     voting securities of that issuer, except that up to 25% of the Fund's total
     assets may be invested without regard  to this limitation, and except  that
     this  limitation does not  apply to securities issued  or guaranteed by the
     U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities or to securities issued
     by other investment companies.
 
          The following interpretation applies  to, but is not  a part of,  this
     fundamental  restriction: Mortgage-and asset-backed  securities will not be
     considered to  have  been  issued by  the  same  issuer by  reason  of  the
     securities   having  the  same  sponsor,  and  mortgage-  and  asset-backed
     securities issued by a finance or other special purpose subsidiary that are
     not guaranteed by the parent company will  be considered to be issued by  a
     separate issuer from the parent company.
 
          (2)  purchase any security  if, as a  result of that  purchase, 25% or
     more of the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of  issuers
     having  their principal  business activities  in the  same industry, except
     that this limitation does not apply  to securities issued or guaranteed  by
     the  U.S.  government, its  agencies or  instrumentalities or  to municipal
     securities, and except that  U.S. Government Income  Fund and Low  Duration
     Income  Fund, under normal  circumstances, each will invest  25% or more of
     its total assets in mortgage-  and asset-backed securities, which  (whether
     or not issued or guaranteed by an
 
                                       9
 

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     agency  or instrumentality  of the U.S.  government) shall  be considered a
     single industry for purposes of this limitation.
 
          (3) issue senior securities or borrow money, except as permitted under
     the Investment Company Act of 1940 ('1940  Act') and then not in excess  of
     33  1/3% of  the Fund's  total assets (including  the amount  of the senior
     securities issued but  reduced by any  liabilities not constituting  senior
     securities)  at the time of the issuance or borrowing, except that the Fund
     may borrow up to an  additional 5% of its  total assets (not including  the
     amount borrowed) for temporary or emergency purposes.
 
          (4)  make  loans,  except  through loans  of  portfolio  securities or
     through  repurchase  agreements,  provided   that  for  purposes  of   this
     restriction, the acquisition of bonds, debentures, other debt securities or
     instruments,  or participations or other  interests therein and investments
     in government  obligations,  commercial  paper,  certificates  of  deposit,
     bankers'  acceptances  or similar  instruments will  not be  considered the
     making of a loan.
 
          (5) engage  in  the  business  of  underwriting  securities  of  other
     issuers,  except  to  the  extent  that the  Fund  might  be  considered an
     underwriter under  the  federal  securities laws  in  connection  with  its
     disposition of portfolio securities.
 
          (6)   purchase  or  sell  real  estate,  except  that  investments  in
     securities of  issuers  that  invest  in real  estate  and  investments  in
     mortgage-backed  securities, mortgage  participations or  other instruments
     supported by interests in real estate  are not subject to this  limitation,
     and  except that the Fund may  exercise rights under agreements relating to
     such securities, including the right  to enforce security interests and  to
     hold  real estate  acquired by reason  of such enforcement  until that real
     estate can be liquidated in an orderly manner.
 
          (7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a  result
     of  owning securities or other instruments, but the Fund may purchase, sell
     or enter  into financial  options and  futures, forward  and spot  currency
     contracts,  swap transactions  and other financial  contracts or derivative
     instruments.
 
          NON-FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS:  The following  investment  restrictions,
     which  apply to each  Fund, are not  fundamental and may  be changed by the
     Trust's board of trustees without shareholder approval.
 
          Each Fund will not:
 
          (1) purchase or retain  the securities of any  issuer if the  officers
     and  trustees  of the  Trust  and the  officers  and directors  of Mitchell
     Hutchins  (and,  for  Low  Duration   Income  Fund,  PIMCO)  (each   owning
     beneficially  as  principal  for its  own  account  more than  0.5%  of the
     outstanding securities of the issuer) beneficially so own in the  aggregate
     more than 5% of the securities of the issuer.
 
          (2)  purchase any security (for Low Duration Income Fund, any security
     other than mortgage- and asset-backed securities) if as a result more  than
     5%  of the value  of the Fund's  assets would be  invested in securities of
     companies that, together  with any  predecessors, have  been in  continuous
     operation for less then three years.
 
          (3)  invest more than 10%  (for Low Duration Income  Fund, 15%) of its
     net assets in illiquid securities, a term that 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.

          (4)  make investments in  warrants if such  investments, valued at the
     lower of cost or market,  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 unlisted  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.
 
          (5) invest in real estate limited partnerships.
 
          (6)  purchase portfolio securities while borrowings in excess of 5% of
     its total assets are outstanding.
 
          (7) change its investment policies to  permit the Fund to 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  NRSRO  or
     determined  by  Mitchell  Hutchins or  PIMCO  to be  of  comparable quality
     without giving at  least 30  days' advance notice  to shareholders,  except
     that this restriction does not apply to High Income Fund.
 
          (8)  purchase  securities  on  margin,  except  for  short-term credit
     necessary for clearance of portfolio transactions and except that the  Fund
     may  make margin deposits  in connection with its  use of financial options
     and futures, forward  and spot  currency contracts,  swap transactions  and
     other financial contracts or derivative instruments.
 
          (9)  engage in short sales of securities or maintain a short position,
     except that the Fund may (a) sell short 'against the box' and (b)  maintain
     short  positions  in  connection  with its  use  of  financial  options and
     futures, forward and spot currency  contracts, swap transactions and  other
     financial contracts or derivative instruments.
 
          (10) invest in oil, gas or mineral exploration or development programs
     or  leases, except that investments in securities of issuers that invest in
     such  programs  or  leases  and  investments  in  asset-backed   securities
     supported  by receivables  generated from such  programs or  leases are not
     subject to this prohibition.
 
          (11) purchase securities of other investment companies, except to  the
     extent  permitted by the 1940 Act and  except that this limitation does not
     apply to securities received  or acquired as  dividends, through offers  of
     exchange, or as a result of reorganization, consolidation, or merger.
 
                     HEDGING AND RELATED INCOME STRATEGIES
 
     GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF HEDGING STRATEGIES.  As discussed in the Prospectus,
Mitchell  Hutchins or PIMCO may use a variety of financial instruments ('Hedging
Instruments'), including certain options, futures contracts (sometimes  referred
to  as 'futures') and options on futures contracts, to attempt to hedge a Fund's
portfolio and to enhance income. Mitchell Hutchins or PIMCO also may attempt  to
hedge   a  Fund's  portfolio  through  the   use  of  interest  rate  protection
transactions. The particular Hedging Instruments are described in Appendix C  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 a Fund's  portfolio. Thus, in a short  hedge a 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, a Fund might
purchase   a  put   option  on   a  security   to  hedge   against  a  potential
 
                                       11
 

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
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 a Fund intends to acquire. Thus, in a long
hedge a 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, a  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 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.
 
     Each Fund may purchase and write (sell) covered straddles on securities  or
indices of debt securities. 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. A Fund might enter  into a long straddle  when Mitchell Hutchins or  PIMCO
believes  it likely that interest rates will be more volatile during the term of
the option 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. A Fund might enter
into a short straddle when Mitchell Hutchins or PIMCO believes it unlikely  that
interest  rates will be as volatile during the  term of the option 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  a Fund owns  or
intends  to acquire. 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
Securities  and  Exchange Commission  ('SEC'), the  several options  and futures
exchanges upon which they are  traded, the Commodity Futures Trading  Commission
('CFTC') and various state regulatory authorities. In addition, a 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  and PIMCO  expect  to  discover  additional
opportunities  in connection with  options, futures contracts  and other hedging
techniques. These new  opportunities may become  available as Mitchell  Hutchins
and PIMCO develop new techniques, as regulatory authorities broaden the range of
permitted transactions and as new options, futures contracts or other techniques
are developed. Mitchell Hutchins or PIMCO may utilize these opportunities to the
extent that they are consistent with a Fund's investment objective and permitted
by  the Fund's investment limitations and applicable regulatory authorities. The
Funds' 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.
 
                                       12

<PAGE>
          (1)  Successful use of most  Hedging Instruments depends upon Mitchell
     Hutchins' or PIMCO's ability to predict movements of the overall securities
     markets, which requires  different skills  than predicting  changes in  the
     prices  of  individual securities.  While Mitchell  Hutchins and  PIMCO are
     experienced in the use  of Hedging Instruments, there  can be no  assurance
     that any particular hedging strategy adopted will succeed.
 
          (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.
 
          (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 a Fund
     entered  into a short hedge because  Mitchell Hutchins or PIMCO 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, a 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 a 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  a 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. A 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 a Fund.
 
     COVER  FOR  HEDGING STRATEGIES.    Transactions using  Hedging Instruments,
other than purchased options, expose a Fund to an obligation to another party. A
Fund will not  enter into any  such transactions  unless it owns  either (1)  an
offsetting  ('covered')  position  in  securities or  other  options  or futures
contracts or (2) cash, receivables 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. Each Fund will comply with SEC guidelines
regarding cover for hedging transactions and will, if the guidelines so require,
set aside cash or liquid 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
a  Fund's  assets  to  cover  or  segregated  accounts  could  impede  portfolio
management  or the Fund's  ability to meet redemption  requests or other current
obligations.

     OPTIONS.  Each  Fund may purchase  put and call  options, and write  (sell)
covered  put and  call options,  on debt securities  and, for  High Income Fund,
foreign currencies, in which  it is authorized to  invest. The purchase of  call
options  serves as  a long hedge,  and the purchase  of put options  serves as a
short hedge. Writing covered put or call options can enable the Fund to  enhance
income  by reason  of the premiums  paid by  the purchasers of  such options. In
addition, 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
security  underlying a  covered put  option declines  to less  than the exercise
price of the option, minus the premium received, the Fund would expect to suffer
a loss. 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
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 at less than its market value. The securities or other  assets
used  as cover for OTC options written by a 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,   OTC  options  on  debt  securities  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.
 
     A Fund may effectively terminate its right or obligation under an option by
entering  into  a closing  transaction. For  example, a  Fund may  terminate its
obligation under a call  option that it had  written by purchasing an  identical
call option; this is known as a closing purchase transaction. Conversely, a 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  a Fund  to realize profits  or limit  losses on an
option position prior to its exercise or expiration.
 
     The Funds  may purchase  or  write both  exchange-traded and  OTC  options.
Exchange  markets for options  on debt securities 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 a Fund and its  contra party (usually a securities dealer
or a bank) with no clearing organization guarantee. Thus, when a Fund  purchases
or  writes an OTC option, 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. A Fund will enter  into
OTC  option transactions only  with contra parties  that have a  net worth of at
least $20 million.
 
     A Fund's ability to  establish and close  out positions in  exchange-listed
options  depends  on the  existence of  a  liquid market.  Each 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 a  Fund
will  enter into OTC  options only with  contra parties that  are expected to be
capable of entering into closing
 
                                       14
 

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
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  a 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 a 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.
 
     A  Fund may  purchase and  write put  and call  options on  indices of 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 debt  securities  market (or  market sectors)  rather  than
anticipated increases or decreases in the value of a particular security.
 
     GUIDELINES  FOR OPTIONS.   Each  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 purchased 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 and indices of debt securities 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.  Each Fund may purchase  and sell interest rate futures  contracts
and  Low Duration Income Fund may purchase  and sell debt security index futures
contracts. Each Fund also may purchase  put and call options, and write  covered
put  and call options,  on the futures  contracts it is  allowed to purchase and
sell. 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, and  writing covered put options  on futures contracts  can
serve as a limited long hedge, using a strategy similar to that used for writing
covered call options on securities or indices.
 
     Futures  strategies also can  be used to  manage the average  duration of a
Fund's portfolio. If Mitchell  Hutchins or PIMCO wishes  to shorten the  average
duration  of a  Fund, the  Fund may  sell a  futures contract  or a  call option
thereon, or purchase a put option on that futures contract. If Mitchell Hutchins
or PIMCO wishes to lengthen the average duration  of a Fund, the Fund may buy  a
futures contract or a call option thereon or sell a put option thereon.
 
     Each  Fund may  also write put  options on interest  rate futures contracts
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.  A 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  a 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.
 
                                       15

Margin  must also be deposited when writing a call 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 a Fund at the termination of the transaction if all
contractual obligations have been  satisfied. Under certain circumstances,  such
as periods of high volatility, a 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 future  position varies, a  process known as
'marking to market.'  Variation margin  does not involve  borrowing, but  rather
represents  a daily  settlement of  a Fund's  obligations to  or from  a futures
broker. When a  Fund purchases  an option  on a  future, the  premium paid  plus
transaction  costs is all that is at risk. In contrast, when a Fund purchases or
sells a futures contract or writes a 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.
Each 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.
 
     If a Fund were unable to liquidate a futures or 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.  Each 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 and options on
     futures positions 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 and indices of debt securities 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.  High Income
Fund may use  options 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 that Fund's securities are denominated. Such
currency hedges can protect against price movements in a security 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.
 
     High  Income 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
currency or  a  basket of  currencies,  the  value of  which  Mitchell  Hutchins
believes  will have a  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, High
Income 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,
High Income Fund might be required to accept or make
 
                                       17
 

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
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.
 
     FOREIGN CURRENCY  CONTRACTS.   High  Income  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 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, High Income Fund also 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 positive  correlation to  the value  of the  currency being
hedged. In addition, the  Fund may use forward  currency contracts to shift  its
exposure  to  foreign currency  fluctuations from  one  country to  another. For
example, if the  Fund owned  securities denominated  in a  foreign currency  and
Mitchell  Hutchins  believed that  currency  would decline  relative  to another
currency, it might enter into a forward currency 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 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  High Income  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 High Income  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,  High Income 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.  High Income 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  appropriate
assets in a segregated account 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, as marked to market daily.
 
     INTEREST  RATE PROTECTION TRANSACTIONS.  Each  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,  respectively,  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 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  on predetermined dates  or during a  specified time  period.
Each  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.
 
     Each  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, PIMCO and
the Funds  believe such  obligations do  not constitute  senior securities  and,
accordingly,  will  not  treat  them  as being  subject  to  a  Fund's borrowing
restrictions. The net amount of the excess, if any, of a 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.' Each 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.
 
     A Fund  will enter  into interest  rate protection  transactions only  with
banks  and recognized securities dealers believed  by Mitchell Hutchins or PIMCO
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.

   Trust  as defined in the 1940 Act  by virtue of their positions with Mitchell
   Hutchins, PaineWebber and/or PW Group.
 
     The Trust  pays trustees  who are  not 'interested  persons' of  the  Trust
('disinterested trustees') $1,000 annually for each series of the Trust and $150
for  each  board meeting  and  each meeting  of  a board  committee  (other than
committee meetings held on the same day as a board meeting). The Trust presently
has five  series and  thus pays  each  such trustee  $5,000 annually,  plus  any
additional  amounts due  for board or  committee meetings.  Messrs. Feldberg and
Torell each receive  additional annual  compensation from  the PaineWebber  fund
complex  (including the Trust) of  $15,000 for serving as  chairmen of the audit
and contract review committees of the funds. All trustees are reimbursed for any
expenses incurred in attending meetings. Trustees and officers of the Trust  own
in the aggregate less than 1% of the shares of the Fund. Because PaineWebber and
Mitchell  Hutchins perform substantially  all of the  services necessary for the
operation of  the Trust  and the  Funds,  the Trust  requires no  employees.  No
officer,  director  or employee  of Mitchell  Hutchins or  PaineWebber presently
receives any compensation from the Trust for acting as a trustee or officer.

Fund. During the fiscal years ended November 30, 1995 and November 30, 1994  and
the  period May 3, 1993  (commencement of operations) to  November 30, 1993, the
Trust  paid  (or   accrued)  to  Mitchell   Hutchins  investment  advisory   and
administrative  fees of $1,839,876, $5,598,491 (of  which $400,611 was waived by
Mitchell Hutchins) and $3,519,442 with respect to Low Duration Income Fund.
 
     Under a service  agreement pursuant to  which PaineWebber provides  certain
services to each Fund not otherwise provided by the Fund's transfer agent, which
agreement  is reviewed  by the  Trust's board  of trustees  annually, during the
fiscal years ended November 30, 1995,  November 30, 1994 and November 30,  1993,
respectively,  PaineWebber earned fees  in the approximate  amounts of $154,428,
$196,490 and  $217,612 for  U.S. Government  Income Fund,  $99,641, $97,475  and
$60,450 for Investment Grade Income Fund and $158,323, $181,748 and $137,332 for
High  Income Fund. During the fiscal years  ended November 30, 1995 and November
30, 1994 and the period May 3, 1993 (commencement of operations) to November 30,
1993, respectively, PaineWebber earned fees  under the service agreement in  the
amounts of $107,999, $139,291 and $71,854 for Low Duration Income Fund.
 
     The  Advisory Contract authorizes  Mitchell Hutchins to  retain one or more
sub-advisers  but  does  not  require  Mitchell  Hutchins  to  do  so.  Under  a
sub-investment  advisory contract  ('Sub-Advisory Contract')  dated November 14,
1994 with Mitchell Hutchins, PIMCO serves as sub-adviser for Low Duration Income
Fund. Under the  Sub-Advisory Contract,  Mitchell Hutchins (not  the Fund)  pays
PIMCO  a fee  in the  annual amount  of 0.25%  of the  Fund's average  daily net
assets. PIMCO bears all expenses incurred by it in connection with its  services
under the Sub-Advisory Contract. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 1995 and
the  period October 20,  1994 to November  30, 1994, Mitchell  Hutchins paid (or
accrued) to  PIMCO sub-advisory  fees of  $919,938 and  $147,540,  respectively,
pursuant  to  the  Sub-Advisory  Contract  and  a  substantially  similar  prior
contract.
 
     Under the terms  of the  Advisory Contract,  each 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
a particular series of  the Trust are  allocated among the  series of the  Trust
(including the Funds) by or under the direction of the Trust's board of trustees
in  such manner as  the board deems  fair and equitable.  Expenses borne by each
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 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  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 any other  insurance or fidelity bonds;  (9) any costs, expenses  or
losses  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 existing 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
 
                                       28

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 a Fund if
and to the  extent that  the aggregate  operating expenses  of the  Fund in  any
fiscal year exceed applicable limits. 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  and
extraordinary  items, are  excluded from this  limitation. For  the fiscal years
ended  November  30,  1995,  November  30,  1994  and  November  30,  1993,   no
reimbursements were required pursuant to such limitations.
 
     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 Trust or  a
Fund in connection with the performance of the 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. Under  the Sub-Advisory Contract, PIMCO will
not be liable  for any  error of  judgment or  mistake of  law or  for any  loss
suffered  by the Trust,  Low Duration Income Fund,  its shareholders or Mitchell
Hutchins in connection with the  Sub-Advisory Contract, except any liability  to
any  of them  to which  PIMCO would  otherwise be  subject by  reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on its part in the performance of its
duties or from reckless disregard by it of its obligations and duties under  the
Sub-Advisory  Contract.  The  Advisory  Contract  terminates  automatically with
respect to  each Fund  upon 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
Trust. The Sub-Advisory Contract terminates automatically upon its assignment or
the  termination of the Advisory Contract and its terminable at any time without
penalty by the board of trustees or by vote of the holders of a majority of  Low
Duration  Income  Fund's outstanding  voting securities  on  60 days'  notice to
PIMCO, or  by  PIMCO on  120  days' written  notice  to Mitchell  Hutchins.  The
Sub-Advisory  Contract  may also  be terminated  by  Mitchell Hutchins  (1) upon
material breach by  PIMCO of  its representations and  warranties, which  breach
shall  not have been cured  within a 20 day period  after notice of such breach;
(2) if PIMCO becomes  unable to discharge its  duties and obligations under  the
Sub-Advisory Contract; or (3) on 120 days' notice to PIMCO.

personal investing in relation to trades  by PaineWebber mutual funds and  other
Mitchell   Hutchins  advisory  clients.  PIMCO  personnel  also  may  invest  in
securities for their  own accounts  pursuant to  PIMCO's code  of ethics,  which
establishes   procedures   for   personal   investing   and   restricts  certain
transactions.
 
     DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS.   Mitchell Hutchins acts  as the distributor  of
the  Class Y shares  of each Fund  under a distribution  contract with the Trust
dated July 1, 1991 ('Distribution Contract') that requires Mitchell Hutchins  to
use  its best efforts, consistent  with its other businesses,  to sell shares of
the Funds.  Class Y  shares of  the  Funds are  offered continuously.  Under  an
exclusive  dealer contract between Mitchell  Hutchins and PaineWebber dated July
1, 1991 ('Exclusive  Dealer Contract'),  PaineWebber sells each  Fund's Class  Y
shares.
 
                             PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
 
     Subject  to policies established by the Trust's board of trustees, Mitchell
Hutchins or PIMCO, as applicable, is responsible for the execution of the Fund's
portfolio  transactions  and  the  allocation  of  brokerage  transactions.   In
executing portfolio transactions, Mitchell Hutchins and PIMCO seek to obtain the
best  net results  for a  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.
Generally,  bonds are traded on the OTC market on a 'net' basis without a stated
commission through dealers  acting for  their own  account and  not as  brokers.
Prices  paid to dealers in principal  transactions 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  that time. While Mitchell Hutchins or
PIMCO generally seeks  reasonably competitive commission  rates, payment of  the
lowest  commission is  not necessarily  consistent with  obtaining the  best net
results. During  the fiscal  year ended  November  30, 1995,  no Fund  paid  any
brokerage  commissions. During  the fiscal  year ended  November 30,  1994, U.S.
Government Income Fund, Low Duration  Income Fund, Investment Grade Income  Fund
and  High  Income  Fund paid  approximately  $0, $88,421,  $21,500  and $74,838,
respectively, in brokerage  commissions. During the  fiscal year ended  November
30,  1993, U.S. Government Income Fund and  Investment Grade Income Fund paid no
brokerage  commissions  and  High  Income  Fund  paid  approximately  $4,145  in
brokerage   commissions.  During  the  period   May  3,  1993  (commencement  of
operations) to November  30, 1993, Low  Duration Income Fund  paid no  brokerage
commissions.
 
     No  Fund has any obligation to deal with  any broker or group of brokers in
the execution of portfolio transactions. The Funds contemplate 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 or its affiliates are reasonable and fair. Specific provisions
in the Advisory Contract authorize Mitchell  Hutchins and any of its  affiliates
that  are  members  of  a  national  securities  exchange  to  effect  portfolio
transactions for  the Funds  on  such exchange  and  to retain  compensation  in
connection  with such transactions.  Any such transactions  will be effected and
related compensation paid in accordance with applicable SEC regulations.  During
the fiscal year ended
 
                                       30

<PAGE>
November  30, 1995, no Fund paid any brokerage commissions to PaineWebber or any
other affiliate of Mitchell Hutchins. During the fiscal year ended November  30,
1994,  High Income Fund  paid approximately $30,915  in brokerage commissions to
PaineWebber. During the fiscal  years ended November 30,  1994 and November  30,
1993,  the Funds paid no other 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. Each
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 interests of  a Fund and subject  to the review of the
Trust's board of  trustees, Mitchell  Hutchins or PIMCO  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 or PIMCO 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.  During
the  fiscal  year  ended November  30,  1995,  the Funds  directed  no portfolio
transactions to brokers chosen because they provided research services.
 
     For purchases or  sales with  broker-dealer firms which  act as  principal,
Mitchell  Hutchins and PIMCO seek best  execution. Although Mitchell Hutchins or
PIMCO may  receive certain  research or  execution services  in connection  with
these  transactions, neither will purchase securities  at a higher price or sell
securities at  a lower  price than  would otherwise  be paid  if no  weight  was
attributed  to the services provided by  the executing dealer. Moreover, neither
Mitchell  Hutchins  nor  PIMCO  will   enter  into  any  explicit  soft   dollar
arrangements  relating to  principal transactions  or will  receive in principal
transactions the types  of services that  could be purchased  for hard  dollars.
Mitchell  Hutchins and PIMCO may engage in agency transactions in OTC equity and
debt  securities  in   return  for  research   and  execution  services.   These
transactions  are entered into only in  compliance with procedures ensuring that
the transaction (including  commissions) is at  least as favorable  as it  would
have been if effected directly with a market-maker that did not provide research
or  execution  services. These  procedures  include Mitchell  Hutchins  or PIMCO
receiving multiple quotes from  dealers before executing  the transaction on  an
agency basis.
 
     Information  and research services furnished by  dealers or brokers with or
through which a  Fund effects securities  transactions may be  used by  Mitchell
Hutchins  or PIMCO in advising other funds or accounts and, conversely, research
services furnished  to Mitchell  Hutchins  or PIMCO  by  dealers or  brokers  in
connection with other funds or accounts Mitchell Hutchins advises may be used by
Mitchell Hutchins or PIMCO in advising a Fund. Information and research received
from  such brokers or  dealers will be in  addition to, and not  in lieu of, the
services required  to  be performed  by  Mitchell Hutchins  under  the  Advisory
Contract or PIMCO under the Sub-Advisory Contract.
 
     Investment decisions for the Funds and other investment accounts managed by
Mitchell  Hutchins or  PIMCO 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 a 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
 
                                       31
 

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
detrimental effect upon the price or value of  the security as far as a 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 Funds 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.  Each  Fund's annual 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  and 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
the  securities in the portfolio during the  year. During the fiscal years ended
November 30, 1995 and  November 30, 1994,  respectively, the portfolio  turnover
rates  were 206% and 358% for U.S. Government Income Fund; 242% and 246% for Low
Duration Income Fund; 149%  and 142% for Investment  Grade Income Fund; and  94%
and 156% for High Income Fund.
 
                              VALUATION OF SHARES
 
     Each  Fund determines  the 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.
 
     Where  market quotations  are readily  available, portfolio  securities are
valued  based  upon  market  quotations,  provided  such  quotations  adequately
reflect,  in the judgment of  Mitchell Hutchins or PIMCO,  the fair value of the
security. Where such market quotations are not readily available, securities are
valued  based  upon  appraisals  received   from  a  pricing  service  using   a
computerized  matrix system  or based  upon appraisals  derived from information
concerning the security or similar  securities received from recognized  dealers
in  those securities. The  amortized cost method of  valuation generally is used
with respect to  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. All  other securities  or assets  will be  valued at  fair value  as
determined  in good  faith by  or under  the direction  of the  Trust's board of
trustees.
 
     Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined prior to the close
of trading  on the  NYSE. Occasionally  events effecting  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 High Income 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 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
prevailing  on the  foreign exchange market.  This rate  under normal conditions
differs from
 
                                       32
 

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
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
 
     Each  Fund's performance data  quoted in advertising  and other promotional
materials ('Performance Advertisements') represents past performance and is  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:
 
<TABLE>
<S>              <C>
 P(1 + T)(n)     = ERV
where: P         = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000 to purchase shares of a specified class
        T        = average annual total return of shares of that class
        n        = number of years
        ERV      = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the beginning of that period.
</TABLE>
 
     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.  All  dividends  and  other  distributions  are  assumed  to  have  been
reinvested at net asset value.
 
     Each  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.
 
     The  following  table  shows  performance information  for  Class  Y shares
(formerly Class C shares) of U.S. Government Income Fund and Low Duration Income
Fund for the  periods indicated. Investment  Grade Income Fund  and High  Income
Fund  had no Class  Y shares outstanding  during these periods.  All returns for
periods of more than one year are expressed as an annualized average return:

     YIELD.    Yields  used  in  each  Fund's  Performance  Advertisements   are
calculated  by dividing  the Fund's 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  net asset value per share
at the  end of  the Period.  Yield quotations  are calculated  according to  the
following formula:
 
<TABLE>
<S>         <C>  <C>
                          a-b
      YIELD =         2[(  cd   + 1)(6)  -  1]
where: a    =    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 the class outstanding during the Period that were entitled to receive
                 dividends
       d    =    the net asset value per share on the last day of the Period.
</TABLE>
 
     Except  as noted below, in determining  net investment income earned during
the Period (variable  'a' in the  above formula), the  Fund calculates  interest
earned on each debt obligation held by it during 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. The  yield of the  Funds' Class  Y shares for  the 30-day  period
ended  November 30, 1995 was 6.11% for U.S. Government Income Fund and 6.24% for
Low Duration Income Fund. Investment Grade Income Fund and High Income Fund  had
no Class Y shares outstanding during this period.
 
     OTHER INFORMATION.  In Performance Advertisements each Fund may compare its
Standardized  Return and/or its  Non-Standardized Return with  data published by
Lipper Analytical  Services,  Inc. ('Lipper')  for  U.S. government  funds,  CDA
Investment Technologies, Inc. ('CDA'), Wiesenberger Investment Companies Service
('Wiesenberger'),  Investment Company  Data Inc.  ('ICD') or  Morningstar Mutual
Funds ('Morningstar'), or with  the performance of  U.S. Treasury securities  of
various  maturities,  recognized stock,  bond and  other indices,  including the
Salomon Brothers Bond Index, Lehman Bond Index, Lehman Government/Corporate Bond
Index, the Standard  & Poor's  500 Composite Stock  Price Index,  the Dow  Jones
Industrial  Average, and changes in the Consumer Price Index as published by the
U.S. Department of Commerce. Such companies  also may include economic data  and
statistics  published by the  United States Bureau of  Labor Statistics, such as
the cost of living index, information and statistics on the residential mortgage
market or the market for mortgage-backed securities, such as those published  by
the  Federal Reserve Bank, the Office  of Thrift Supervision, Ginnie Mae, Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac  and the Lehman Mortgage-Backed  Securities Index. 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. Performance Advertisements also may refer
to discussions of the Fund and comparative mutual fund data and ratings reported
in  independent periodicals, including THE  WALL STREET JOURNAL, MONEY Magazine,
FORBES, BUSINESS WEEK, FINANCIAL  WORLD, BARRONS, FORTUNE,  THE NEW YORK  TIMES,

POST and THE KIPLINGER LETTERS. Comparisons in Performance Advertisements may be
in graphic form.
 
     A  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 by
being  paid 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  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.
 
     A Fund may also compare its performance with, or may otherwise discuss, the
performance  of  bank  certificates of  deposit  (CDs)  as measured  by  the CDA
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 a  Fund or its  performance to CDs  or to CD  performance,
investors  should keep in mind that bank CDs  are insured in whole or in 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, each  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 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  other income  (including gains  from options  or
futures)  derived  with  respect  to its  business  of  investing  in securities
('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,
options or futures held for  less than three months ('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 that  are
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 (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  a  Fund  in  November or
December of any year and payable to  shareholders of record on a date in  either
of those months will be deemed to have been paid by the Fund and received by the
shareholders  on December 31 of  that year if the  distributions are paid by the
Fund during  the following  January. Accordingly,  those distributions  will  be
taxed  to shareholders (other  than shareholders who  are not subject  to tax on
their income generally) for the year in which that December 31 falls.

<PAGE>
     U.S. Government  Income Fund  and  Low Duration  Income Fund  each  invests
exclusively  in debt securities and receives no dividend income; accordingly, no
portion of the dividends or other distributions paid by these Funds is  eligible
for  the  dividends-received deduction  allowed  to corporations.  Although High
Income Fund  and Investment  Grade Income  Fund are  authorized to  hold  equity
securities,  it is expected that any dividend  income received by the Funds will
be minimal.
 
     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 shareholder  will pay  full
price  for the shares  and receive some portion  of the price  back as a taxable
distribution.
 
     Interest and dividends, if any, received by High Income 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,  however,  may  reduce  or
eliminate these foreign taxes, and many foreign countries do not impose taxes on
capital gains in respect of investments by foreign investors.
 
     Each  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  use of hedging and option income strategies, such as writing (selling)
and purchasing options and futures 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 a Fund realizes in  connection
therewith.  Gains  from the  disposition of  foreign currencies  (except certain
gains therefrom that  may be  excluded by  future regulations),  and gains  from
options,  futures and forward currency contracts  derived by a Fund with respect
to its business of investing in  securities or foreign currencies, will  qualify
as  permissable income  under the Income  Requirement. However,  income from the
disposition of options and futures (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  a
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  a  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.  Each
Fund  will consider whether it should seek to qualify for this treatment for its
hedging transactions. To the extent a Fund does not qualify for this  treatment,
it  may be forced to defer the closing out of certain options and futures beyond
the time when it otherwise would be advantageous to do so, in order for the Fund
to continue to qualify as a RIC.
 
     Each Fund may acquire zero coupon or other securities issued with  original
issue  discount ('OID'). As  a holder of  such securities, a  Fund would have to
include in its gross income  the OID that accrues  on the securities during  the
taxable  year, even if the Fund receives no corresponding payment on them during
the year. Each  Fund has elected  similar treatment with  respect to  securities
purchased  at a discount from their face value ('market discount'). Because each
Fund  annually   must   distribute   substantially   all   of   its   investment
 
                                       36

company  taxable  income,  including any  accrued  OID and  market  discount, to
satisfy the Distribution Requirement and avoid imposition of the Excise Tax, the
Fund may be required in a particular year to distribute as a dividend an  amount
that  is  greater than  the total  amount  of cash  it actually  receives. Those
distributions will be made from the Fund's  cash assets or from the proceeds  of
sales  of portfolio securities, if necessary. The Fund may realize capital gains
or losses from  those sales,  which would  increase or  decrease its  investment
company  taxable income or net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital
gain over  net short-term  capital loss).  In addition,  any such  gains may  be
realized  on  the disposition  of securities  held for  less than  three months.
Because of the Short-Short  Limitation, any such gains  would reduce the  Fund's
ability  to sell other securities, or certain  options or futures, held for less
than three months  that it  might wish  to sell in  the ordinary  course of  its
portfolio management.
 
                               OTHER INFORMATION
 
     PAINEWEBBER MANAGED INVESTMENTS TRUST.  Prior to October 20, 1995, the name
of  Low Duration Income Fund was  'PaineWebber Short-Term U.S. Government Income
Fund.' Prior to November 10, 1995, the Class Y shares of U.S. Government  Income
Fund and Low Duration Income Fund were called 'Class C' shares.
 
     The  Trust is  an entity  of the  type commonly  known as  a 'Massachusetts
business trust.' Prior to  February 26, 1992, the  Trust's name was  PaineWebber
Fixed  Income  Portfolios. Under  Massachusetts  law, shareholders  could, under
certain circumstances,  be held  personally liable  for the  obligations of  the
Trust or a Fund. However, the Trust's Declaration of Trust disclaims shareholder
liability  for acts or obligations  of the Trust or  the Funds 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,  a Fund, the trustees  or any of them  in
connection with the Trust. The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification
from  each Fund's property for  all losses and expenses  of any shareholder held
personally liable  for  the  obligations  of  the Fund.  Thus,  the  risk  of  a
shareholder's  incurring financial loss  on account of  shareholder liability is
limited to circumstances  in which a  Fund itself  would be unable  to meet  its
obligations,  a possibility  that 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 operations of  each Fund in such a way as  to
avoid,   as  far  as  possible,  ultimate  liability  of  the  shareholders  for
liabilities of the Fund.
 
     ADDITIONAL REDEMPTION  INFORMATION.   If conditions  exist that  make  cash
payments  undesirable,  the Funds  reserve the  right to  honor any  request for
redemption by making payment  in whole or  in part in  securities chosen by  the
Funds  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  these securities into
cash. Each Fund has  elected, however, to  be governed by  Rule 18f-1 under  the
1940 Act, under which the Funds are obligated to redeem shares solely in cash up
to  the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the  net asset value of the Funds during any
90-day period for one shareholder. This  election is irrevocable unless the  SEC
permits its withdrawal.
 
     The Funds may suspend redemption privileges or postpone the date of payment
during  any  period (1)  when  the 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  a 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 a Fund's portfolio at the time.
 
     CLASS-SPECIFIC  EXPENSES.  Each  Fund may determine  to allocate certain of
its expenses  to  the specific  classes  of the  Fund's  shares to  which  those
expenses are attributable.

legality of the shares offered by the Funds' Prospectus. Kirkpatrick &  Lockhart
LLP also acts as counsel to Mitchell Hutchins and PaineWebber in connection with
other matters.
