Dear Shareholder,
We are pleased to present you with the Annual Report for PaineWebber Utility
Income Fund for the year ended March 31, 1997.

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

    Continued strong corporate earnings growth and low inflation helped lead
the equity markets to a series of record highs over the past year. With a few
exceptions, almost all stocks rose during the period, led by the largest
companies in the equity indices. The Dow Jones Industrial Average reached
several milestones, blitzing past 6,000 in July 1996 and surpassing 7,000 for
the first time in February 1997, before slipping somewhat toward the end of the
period.
    Income-producing stocks, however, could not escape the prospect of rising
short-term interest rates and the regulatory uncertainty surrounding
telecommunications and electric utility companies. In the first quarter of this
year, stock volatility and rising rates made many investors wonder how long the
bull market could continue. After signs of a strengthening economy
reignitedinflationary fears, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest
rates 25 basis points in March. (A basis point is one one-hundredth of a full
percentage point.) This move hurt virtually all sectors of the fixed income
market, stocks in general and utilities stocks in particular. This is not
surprising given utilities stocks' high interest rate sensitivity.
    Equally detrimental to utilities stock performance was the continuing drama
of local and long distance telephone regulation. The fact that these regulations
have not been clarified has concerned utility investors and kept many of them on
the sidelines until the long-term effects of deregulation are understood.
    Looking ahead, we believe that regulatory change will reshape the industry,
reward profitability and productivity and ultimately reward shareholders of the
better-managed companies. With that in mind, we continue to search for the best
companies we believe will be the long-term beneficiaries of this massive
industry restructuring.

                                                                             2

PORTFOLIO REVIEW & OUTLOOK
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Fund's total return for the year ended March 31, 1997 without deducting
sales charges was 7.8% for Class A shares, 7.1% for Class B shares and 7.1% for
Class C shares. The Fund's total return for this period, after deducting the
maximum applicable sales charges, was 3.0% for Class A shares, 2.1% for Class B
shares and 6.1% for Class C shares. These returns compare to a 4.7% gain for the
NYSE Utilities Index. Please keep in mind that the Index is unmanaged and is not
available for investment.
    At March 31, 1997, we held 86% of the Fund's net assets in stocks, with the
balance allocated to bonds and cash. We believe this portfolio weighting will
keep the Fund in line with the asset allocation of its peers, which, by and
large, do not maintain significant fixed income positions.

OUR STRATEGY

While considerable uncertainty remains concerning how regulatory changes will
play out in telecommunications, we maintain our long-term commitment to this
industry. As of March 31, 1997, this sector made up 18% of the Fund's net
assets. In general, we believe deregulation will ultimately expand
diversification opportunities for all telecommunications providers, including
allowing long distance companies to offer local telephone service, which they
were previously denied. We are seeking long-term growth opportunities in
companies in the telephone and communications industries that we believe will be
rewarded once regulatory issues are finally interpreted. Consistent with this 
strategy, we remain cautious about the prospects of regional Bell operating
companies (RBOCs) and their ability to compete in a deregulated environment. We
therefore reduced our position in RBOCs during the period.
    Mergers and acquisitions were another important factor in
telecommunications over the past year. The announcement of the British
Telecommunications PLC acquisition of MCI Communications benefited the Fund. We
sold our position in MCI on the announcement of this acquisition. Long distance
provider WorldCom's acquisition of local telecommunications firm MFS
Communications Company--a Fund holding at the time--also benefited performance.
    Deregulation is also an issue in the electric utility sector, though its
rollout will be more gradual than in telecommunications, since it is carried out
on a state-by-state basis. We believe that, as legislative uncertainty ebbs as
it did (in California in mid 1996), investors' worst fears will be allayed and
depressed valuations will improve among affected electric utilities. We believe
interest rate fears that arose in the first quarter of 1997 have distracted
investors from  the fundamentals, and it is our view that the negative
sentiment, over time, will abate.

OUR HOLDINGS

Our performance may have been held back somewhat by our small position in
international utilities, strong performers in the sector during the period,
compared with many funds in the Lipper universe that are global in focus; 1.3%
of Fund net assets were in this sector on March 31, 1997.
    The Fund's prospectus mandates that at least 65% of portfolio assets are
held in utilities securities, allowing up to 35% of assets to be invested
outside this sector. We have utilized that allowance to reduce our bond position
and to deploy those assets in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), public
companies that invest in real estate assests and are required to return most of
their earnings to shareholders in the form of dividends.
    We believe REITs offer outstanding total return opportunities, through
potential price appreciation and attractive dividend yields as well as
potentially lower interest rate sensitivity than electric utility stocks. As of
March 31, 1997, REITs comprised 18% of the Fund's net assets (includes stocks
from two subcategories-- Real Property and Financial Services).
    Our REIT position contributed significantly to performance for the past
year. Within this sector, we have concentrated on those companies serving
markets with the most attractive supply/demand charact-eristics. We are seeking
long-term opportunities that we believe offer the best of the REITs industry--
income producing equities with attractive current income and capital
appreciation potential. Two REITs we believe meet these criteria include luxury
hotel REIT Starwood Lodging Trust, in which supply has been constrained, and
Crescent Real Estate Equities Company a leader in the office sector, where new
construction has been negligible and demand is growing in its geographic
markets.

    As always, we appreciate the opportunity to report to you on the Fund's
activities.  We thank you for your continued support and welcome any questions
or comments you may have.

Sincerely,


/s/ Margo Alexander                                 /s/ Julianna M. Berry

1Figures assume reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions at net
 asset value on the payable dates and do not include sales charges; results
 would be lower if sales charges were included.
 
The data above represents past performance of the Fund's shares, which is no
guarantee of future results. The principal value of an investment in the Fund
will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than their original cost.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  PaineWebber Managed Investments Trust (the "Trust") was organized under
Massachusetts law by a Declaration of Trust dated November 21, 1986 and is
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end, diversified investment company.
The Trust is a series mutual fund with six funds: PaineWebber Utility Income
Fund (the "Fund"), PaineWebber U.S. Government Income Fund, PaineWebber
Investment Grade Income Fund, PaineWebber High Income Fund, PaineWebber Low
Duration U.S. Government Income Fund and the newly created PaineWebber Asia
Pacific Growth Fund. The financial statements for PaineWebber U.S. Government
Income Fund, PaineWebber Investment Grade Income Fund, PaineWebber High Income
Fund, PaineWebber Low Duration U.S. Government Income Fund and PaineWebber Asia
Pacific Growth Fund are not included herein.
 
  Currently, the Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares (no
Class Y shares were outstanding during the period). Each class represents
interests in the same assets of the Fund, the classes are identical except for
differences in their sales charge structure, ongoing service/ distribution
charges and certain transfer agency expenses. In addition, Class B shares and
all corresponding dividend reinvested shares automatically convert to Class A
shares approximately six years after initial issuance. All classes of shares
have equal voting privileges, except that each class has exclusive voting rights
with respect to its service and/or distribution plan. Organizational costs have
been deferred and are being amortized using the straight line method over a
period not to exceed 60 months from the date the costs were incurred.
 
  The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires Fund management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies:
 
  VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS--Where market quotations are readily available,
portfolio securities are valued thereon, provided such quotations adequately
reflect, in the judgment of Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell
Hutchins"), a wholly owned subsidiary of PaineWebber Incorporated
("PaineWebber") and investment adviser and administrator of the Fund, the fair
value of the securities. Such quotations are based on the last sales price, or
if no sales price, at the closing bid price. When market quotations are not
readily available, securities are valued based upon appraisals derived from
information concerning those securities or similar securities received from
recognized dealers in those securities. All other securities are valued at fair
value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Trust's board
of trustees. The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market
value, generally is used to value short term debt instruments with sixty days or
less remaining to maturity, unless the Trust's board of trustees determines that
this does not represent fair value.
 
  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--The Fund's custodian takes possession of the collateral
pledged for investments in repurchase agreements. The underlying collateral is
valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to ensure that the value, including
accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of
default of the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the
 
12

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under
certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party
to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject
to legal proceedings. The Fund occasionally participates in joint repurchase
agreement transactions with other funds managed by Mitchell Hutchins.
 
  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME--Investment transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment
transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Interest income is
recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to
interest income and the identified cost of investments.
 
  Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized
gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon
the relative net asset value of outstanding shares (or the value of
dividend-eligible shares, as appropriate) of each class at the beginning of the
day (after adjusting for current capital share activity of the respective
classes). Class-specific expenses are charged directly to the applicable class
of shares.
 
  DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS--Dividends and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and
distributions from realized capital gains are determined in accordance with
federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These "book/tax" differences are either considered
temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent
in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on
their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require
reclassification.
 
CONCENTRATION OF RISK
 
  The Fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in securities of
utility companies. Economic, legislative and regulatory developments impacting
those industries may affect the market value of the Fund's investments.
 
INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR
 
  The Trust's board of trustees has approved an Investment Advisory and
Administration Contract ("Advisory Contract") with Mitchell Hutchins, under
which Mitchell Hutchins serves as investment adviser and administrator of the
Fund. In accordance with the Advisory Contract, the Fund pays Mitchell Hutchins
an investment advisory and administration fee, which is accrued daily and paid
monthly, at the annual rate of 0.70% of the Fund's average daily net assets. At
March 31, 1997, the Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $21,536 in investment advisory
and administration fees. Mitchell Hutchins voluntarily waived $30,480 of its
investment advisory and administration fee for the year ended March 31, 1997.
 
DISTRIBUTION PLANS
 
  Mitchell Hutchins is the distributor of the Fund's shares and has appointed
PaineWebber as the exclusive dealer for the sale of those shares. Under separate
plans of service and/or distribution pertaining to the Class A, Class B, and
Class C shares, the Fund pays Mitchell Hutchins monthly service fees at the
annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class B and
 
                                                                              13
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Class C shares and monthly distribution fees at the annual rate of 0.75% of the
average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. At March 31, 1997, the
Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $26,699 in service and distribution fees.
 
  Mitchell Hutchins also receives the proceeds of the initial sales charges paid
by shareholders upon the purchase of Class A shares and the contingent deferred
sales charges paid by shareholders upon certain redemptions of Class A, Class B
and Class C shares. Mitchell Hutchins has informed the Fund that for the year
ended March 31, 1997, it earned approximately $170,294 in sales charges.
 
SECURITY LENDING
 
  The Fund may lend up to 33 1/3% of its total assets to qualified institutions.
The loans are secured at all times by cash or U.S. government securities in an
amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued
interest, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. The Fund will
retain record ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial
rights, however, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even
loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially.
The Fund receives compensation, which is included in interest income, for
lending its securities from interest earned on the cash or U.S. government
securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus
reasonable administrative and custody fees. The lending agent is PaineWebber,
who received no compensation from the Fund for the year ended March 31, 1997.
 
  As of March 31, 1997, the Fund had no portfolio securities loaned outstanding.
 
TRANSFER AGENCY SERVICE FEES
 
  The Fund pays PaineWebber an annual fee of $4.00 per active PaineWebber
shareholder account for certain services not provided by the Fund's transfer
agent. For these services for the year ended March 31, 1997, PaineWebber earned
$17,118. At March 31, 1997, the Fund owed PaineWebber $1,156 for transfer agency
service fees.
 
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
 
  For federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned at March 31,
1997 was substantially the same as the cost of securities for financial
statement purposes.
 
  At March 31, 1997, the components of the net unrealized appreciation of
investments were as follows:

FEDERAL TAX STATUS
 
  The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and to
comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income
taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year
substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other
amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.
 
  At March 31, 1997, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward of $5,773,848
part of which will expire on March 31, 2002 and the remainder on March 31, 2003.
To the extent such losses are used, as provided in the regulations, to offset
future net realized capital gains, it is probable these gains will not be
distributed.
 
BENEFICIAL INTEREST
 
  There is an unlimited amount of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest
authorized. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

              REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP
              INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
             The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
             PaineWebber Managed Investments Trust
 
               We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and
             liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of PaineWebber
             Utility Income Fund (one of the Portfolios of PaineWebber Managed
             Investments Trust) (the "Fund") as of March 31, 1997, and the
             related statement of operations for the year then ended, the
             statements of changes in net assets for the year ended March 31,
             1997, the four months ended March 31, 1996 and the year ended
             November 30, 1995 and the financial highlights for each of the
             indicated periods. These financial statements and financial
             highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our
             responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
             statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
               We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
             auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
             perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
             financial statements and financial highlights are free of material
             misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
             evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
             statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included
             confirmation of investments owned as of March 31, 1997 by
             correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also
             includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
             estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
             financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
             provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
               In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights
             referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
             financial position of PaineWebber Utility Income Fund as of March
             31, 1997, the results of its operations for the year then ended
             March 31, 1997, the changes in its net assets for the year ended
             March 31, 1997, the four months ended March 31, 1996 and the year
             ended November 30, 1995 and the financial highlights for each of
             the indicated periods, in conformity with generally accepted
             accounting principles.

PAINEWEBBER UTILITY INCOME FUND
 
TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
 
  We are required by Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, to advise you within 60 days of the Fund's fiscal
period end (March 31, 1997) as to the federal tax status of
distributions received by shareholders during such fiscal period
from the Fund. Accordingly, we are advising you that all of the
distributions paid by the Utility Income Fund during the period
were derived from net investment income and are taxable as ordinary
income. Of these distributions, 72.95% qualifies for the dividends
received deduction available to corporate shareholders.
 
  Dividends received by tax-exempt recipients (e.g., IRAs and
Keoghs) need not be reported as taxable income. Some retirement
trusts (e.g., corporate, Keogh and 403(b)(7) plans) may need this
information for their annual reporting.
 
  Because the Fund's fiscal year is not the calendar year, another
notification will be sent in respect of calendar year 1997. The
second notification, which will reflect the amounts to be used by
calendar year taxpayers on their federal income tax returns, will
be made in conjunction with Form 1099 DIV and will be mailed in
January 1998. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax
advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment
in the Fund.
 
                                                                              19
