    SUPPLEMENT TO STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DATED DECEMBER 10, 1999

                                                                October 10, 2000

Dear Investor,

      The board of directors for PaineWebber  Balanced Fund has approved changes
to the fund's  investment  strategies that became effective on October 10, 2000.
As a result  of  these  new  investment  strategies,  the  fund's  Statement  of
Additional Information ("SAI") is revised as follows:

THE  DESCRIPTION OF PAINEWEBBER  BALANCED FUND ON P. 2 OF THE SAI IN THE SECTION
CAPTIONED "THE FUNDS AND THEIR INVESTMENT  POLICIES" IS REVISED BY REPLACING THE
THIRD PARAGRAPH IN ITS ENTIRETY WITH THE FOLLOWING:

            For its stock investments,  Balanced Fund seeks to replicate (before
            fees  and  expenses)  the  total  return  of the  Standard  & Poor's
            Composite  Stock Price  Index.  For its bond  investments,  the fund
            seeks to replicate  (before fees and  expenses)  the total return of
            the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. To the extent necessary to
            track the  performances  of these  benchmark  indices,  the fund may
            invest in U.S. dollar denominated securities of foreign issuers that
            are   traded  on   recognized   U.S.   exchanges   or  in  the  U.S.
            over-the-counter  market.  The fund also may invest up to 10% of its
            assets  in  bonds  and  other  securities   (including   convertible
            securities)  rated  below  investment  grade but rated at least B by
            Moody's Investors Service,  Inc. ("Moody's") or Standard & Poor's, a
            division of The  McGraw-Hill  Companies,  Inc.  ("S&P"),  comparably
            rated by  another  rating  agency  or,  if  unrated,  determined  by
            Mitchell  Hutchins  to be of  comparable  quality.  The fund's  bond
            investments  may include zero coupon bonds and other  original issue
            discount securities.
