                         PaineWebber Money Market Fund

                   INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, STRATEGIES AND RISKS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FUND OBJECTIVE

Maximum current income consistent with liquidity and conservation of capital.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The fund is a money market fund and seeks to maintain a stable price of $1.00
per share. The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of high quality money
market instruments of governmental and private issuers.

Money market instruments are short-term debt obligations and similar
securities. They also include longer term bonds that have variable interest
rates or other special features that give them the financial characteristics of
short-term debt. The fund invests in foreign money market instruments only if
they are denominated in U.S. dollars.

Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc., the fund's investment adviser, selects
money market instruments for the fund based on its assessment of relative
values and changes in market and economic conditions. Mitchell Hutchins
considers safety of principal and liquidity in selecting securities for the
fund and thus may not buy securities that pay the highest yield.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is neither insured nor
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government
agency. While the fund seeks to maintain the value of your investment at $1.00
per share, you may lose money by investing in the fund. Money market
instruments generally have a low risk of loss, but they are not risk free. The
principal risks presented by the fund are:

 . Credit Risk -- Issuers of money market instruments may fail to make payments
  when due, or they may become less willing or less able to do so.

 . Interest Rate Risk -- The value of the fund's investments generally will fall
  when short-term interest rates rise, and its yield will tend to lag behind
  prevailing rates.

 . Foreign Investing Risk -- The value of the fund's investments in foreign
  securities may fall due to adverse political, social and economic
  developments abroad. However, because the fund's foreign investments must be
  denominated in U.S. dollars, it generally is not subject to the risk of
  changes in currency valuations.

More information about these and other risks of an investment in the fund is
provided below in "More About Risks and Investment Strategies."

Information on the fund's recent holdings can be found in its current
annual/semi-annual reports (see back cover for information on ordering those
reports).

                                  PERFORMANCE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RISK/RETURN BAR CHART AND TABLE

The following bar chart and table provide information about the fund's
performance and thus give some indication of the risks of an investment in the
fund.

The bar chart shows how the fund's performance has varied from year to year.
The bar chart shows Class B shares because they have the longest performance
history of any class of fund shares. The bar chart does not reflect the effect
of sales charges; if it did, the total returns shown would be lower.

The table that follows the bar chart shows the average annual returns over
several time periods for each class of the fund's shares. That table does
reflect fund sales charges.

The fund's past performance does not necessarily indicate how the fund will
perform in the future.

EXAMPLE

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund
with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

This example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods
indicated and then sell all of your shares at the end of those periods unless
otherwise stated. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return
each year and that the fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your
actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs
would be:

                                MORE ABOUT RISKS
                           AND INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PRINCIPAL RISKS

The main risks of investing in the fund are described below. Other risks of
investing in the fund, along with further details about some of the risks
described below, are discussed in the fund's Statement of Additional
Information ("SAI"). Information on how you can obtain the SAI is on the back
cover of this prospectus.

CREDIT RISK. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a money market
instrument will not make principal or interest payments when they are due. Even
if an issuer does not default on a payment, a money market instrument's value
may decline if the market believes that the issuer has become less able, or
less willing, to make payments on time. Even the highest quality money market
instruments are subject to some credit risk.

INTEREST RATE RISK. The value of money market instruments generally can be
expected to fall when short-term interest rates rise and to rise when short-
term interest rates fall. Interest rate risk is the risk that interest rates
will rise, so that the value of the fund's investments will fall. Also, the
fund's yield will tend to lag behind changes in prevailing short-term interest
rates. This means that the fund's income will tend to rise more slowly than
increases in short-term interest rates. Similarly, when short-term interest
rates are falling, the fund's income generally will tend to fall more slowly.

FOREIGN INVESTING RISK. Foreign investing involves risks relating to political,
social and economic developments abroad to a greater extent than investing in
the securities of U.S. issuers. In addition, there are differences between U.S.
and foreign regulatory requirements and market practices.

ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Like all money market funds, the fund is subject to maturity, quality and
diversification requirements designed to help it maintain a stable price of
$1.00 per share. In addition, Mitchell Hutchins may use a number of
professional money management techniques to respond to changing economic and
money market conditions and to shifts in fiscal and monetary policy. These
techniques include varying the fund's composition and weighted average maturity
based upon its assessment of the relative values of various money market
instruments and future interest rate patterns. Mitchell Hutchins also may buy
or sell money market instruments to take advantage of yield differences.

                           MANAGING YOUR FUND ACCOUNT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FLEXIBLE PRICING

The fund offers three classes of shares--Class A, Class B and Class C--solely
through exchange for shares of the corresponding class of other PaineWebber
funds. No front-end sales charge is imposed when fund shares are acquired
through an exchange, and no contingent deferred sales charge is imposed when
shares of another PaineWebber fund are exchanged for the fund's shares.

The fund and the other PaineWebber funds that use the Flexible Pricing system
have adopted plans under rule 12b-1 for their Class A, Class B and Class C
shares that allow each fund to pay service fees for services provided to
shareholders and (for Class B and Class C shares) distribution fees for the
sale of its shares. Because the 12b-1 distribution fees for Class B and Class C
shares are paid out of a fund's assets on an ongoing basis, over time they will
increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than if you paid a
front-end sales charge.

CLASS A SHARES

Class A shares have no front-end sales charge because they are acquired through
an exchange for Class A shares of another PaineWebber fund. Class A shares of
other PaineWebber funds generally have a front-end sales charge that is
included in their offering price and is not invested in a fund. Class A shares
of the fund pay an annual 12b-1 service fee of 0.25% of average net assets, but
they pay no 12b-1 distribution fees. The ongoing expenses for Class A shares
are lower than for Class B and Class C shares.

You may have to pay a 1% contingent deferred sales charge when you sell Class A
shares of the fund if:

 . The front-end sales charge was waived for the Class A shares you exchanged
  for fund shares because your initial purchase was $1 million or more and

 . You sell your Class A shares of the fund within one year of the initial
  purchase date for the Class A shares that you later exchanged for fund
  shares.

This deferred sales charge would be 1% of the lesser of the offering price of
the Class A shares initially purchased or the net asset value of the Class A
shares of the fund at the time of sale. We will not impose the deferred sales
charge on Class A shares representing reinvestment of dividends or on
withdrawals in the first year after purchase of up to 12% of the value of your
Class A shares under the Systematic Withdrawal Plan.

NOTE: If you want information on the fund's Systematic Withdrawal Plan, see the
SAI or contact your PaineWebber Financial Advisor or correspondent firm.

CLASS B SHARES

Class B shares have a contingent deferred sales charge. When you initially
purchase Class B shares of a PaineWebber fund, we invest 100% of your purchase,
and no deferred sales charge is imposed when you exchange those shares for
Class B shares of the fund. However, you may have to pay the deferred sales
charge when you sell your fund shares, depending on how long you own the
shares.

The fund's Class B shares pay an annual 12b-1 distribution fee of 0.50% of
average net assets, as

                         PaineWebber Money Market Fund

well as an annual 12b-1 service fee of 0.25% of average net assets. If you hold
your Class B shares for six years after the initial purchase date for the
original Class B shares that you later exchanged for fund shares, they will
automatically convert to Class A shares of the fund. Class A shares have lower
ongoing expenses.

You will pay a deferred sales charge if you sell Class B shares before the end
of six years (four years for fund shares acquired in certain exchanges for
Class B shares of PaineWebber Low Duration U.S. Government Income Fund). We
calculate the deferred sales charge by multiplying the lesser of the net asset
value of the Class B shares initially purchased or the net asset value of the
Class B shares of the fund at the time of sale by the percentage shown below:

We will not impose the deferred sales charge on Class B shares representing
reinvestment of dividends or on withdrawals in any year of up to 12% of the
value of your Class B shares under the Systematic Withdrawal Plan.

To minimize your deferred sales charge, we will assume that you are selling:

 . First, Class B shares representing reinvested dividends, and

 . Second, Class B shares that you have owned the longest.

SALES CHARGE WAIVERS. You may qualify for a waiver of the deferred sales charge
on a sale of shares if:

 . You participate in the Systematic Withdrawal Plan;

 . You are older than 59 1/2 and are selling shares to take a distribution from
  certain types of retirement plans;

 . You receive a tax-free return of an excess IRA contribution;

 . You receive a tax-qualified retirement plan distribution following
  retirement; or

 . The shares are sold within one year of your death and you owned the shares
  either (1) as the sole shareholder or (2) with your spouse as a joint tenant
  with the right of survivorship.

NOTE: If you think you qualify for any of these sales charge waivers, you will
need to provide documentation to PaineWebber or the fund. For more information,
you should contact your PaineWebber Financial Advisor or correspondent firm or
call 1-800-647-1568. If you want information on the Systematic Withdrawal Plan,
see the SAI or contact your PaineWebber Financial Advisor or correspondent
firm.

CLASS C SHARES

Class C shares have a level load sales charge in the form of ongoing 12b-1
distribution fees. When you initially purchase Class C shares of a PaineWebber
fund, we invest 100% of your purchase in that fund's shares.

The fund's Class C shares pay an annual 12b-1 distribution fee of 0.50% of
average net assets, as well as an annual 12b-1 service fee of 0.25% of average
net assets. Class C shares do not convert to another class of shares. This
means that you will pay the 12b-1 fees for as long as you own your shares.

Class C shares also have a contingent deferred sales charge. You may have to
pay the deferred sales charge if you sell your shares within one year of the
date you initially purchased the Class C shares that you later exchanged for
fund shares. The deferred sales charge will be either 0.75% or 1.00%, depending
on the deferred sales charge that would have applied to the initially purchased
Class C shares. We calculate the deferred sales charge on sales of Class C
shares by multiplying 0.75% or 1.00% (as applicable) by the lesser of the net
asset value of the Class C shares initially purchased or the net asset value of
the Class C shares of the fund at the time of sale. We will not impose the
deferred sales charge on Class C shares representing reinvestment of dividends
or on withdrawals in the first year after purchase of up to 12% of the value of
your Class C shares under the Systematic Withdrawal Plan.

You may be eligible to sell your Class C shares without paying a contingent
deferred sales charge if you are a 401(k) or 403(b) qualified employee benefit
plan with fewer than 100 employees or less than $1 million in assets.

NOTE: If you think you qualify for this sales charge waiver, you may need to
provide documentation to PaineWebber or the fund. For more information, you
should contact your PaineWebber Financial Advisor or correspondent firm or call
1-800-647-1568. If you want information on the fund's Systematic Withdrawal
Plan, see the SAI or contact your PaineWebber Financial Advisor or
correspondent firm.

shares, you should specify which class you want to sell. If you do not, the
fund will assume that you want to sell shares in the following order: Class A,
then Class C and last, Class B.

If you have an account with PaineWebber or a PaineWebber correspondent firm,
you can sell shares by contacting your Financial Advisor.

If you do not have an account at PaineWebber or a correspondent firm, and you

contingent deferred sales charge) will be paid by check or credited to the
shareholder's brokerage account at the election of the shareholder.

It costs the fund money to maintain shareholder accounts. Therefore, the fund
reserves the right to repurchase all shares in any account that has a net asset
value of less than $500. If the fund elects to do this with your account, it
will notify you that you can increase the amount invested to $500 or more
within 60 days. The fund will not repurchase shares in accounts that fall below
$500 solely because of a decrease in the fund's net asset value.

EXCHANGING SHARES

You may exchange Class A, Class B or Class C shares of the fund for shares of
the same class of most other PaineWebber funds.

You will not pay either a front-end sales charge or a deferred sales charge
when you exchange shares. However, you may have to pay a deferred sales charge
if you later sell the shares you acquired in the exchange. Each fund will use
the date that you initially purchased the exchanged shares to determine whether
you must pay a deferred sales charge when you sell the shares in the acquired
fund.

Other PaineWebber funds may have different minimum investment amounts. You may
not be able to exchange your shares if your exchange is not as large as the
minimum investment amount in that other fund.

PAINEWEBBER AND CORRESPONDENT FIRM CLIENTS. If you bought your shares through
PaineWebber or a correspondent firm, you may exchange your shares by placing an
order with your Financial Advisor.

OTHER INVESTORS. If you are not a PaineWebber or correspondent firm client, you
may exchange your shares by writing to the fund's transfer agent. You must
include:

 . Your name and address;

 . The name of the fund whose shares you are selling and the name of the fund
  whose shares you want to buy;

 . Your account number;

 . How much you are exchanging (by dollar amount or by number of shares to be
  sold); and

 . A guarantee of your signature. (See "Buying Shares" for information on
  obtaining a signature guarantee.)

Mail the letter to:
 PFPC Inc.
 Attn.: PaineWebber Mutual Funds
 P.O. Box 8950
 Wilmington, DE 19899.

The fund may modify or terminate the exchange privilege at any time.

PRICING AND VALUATION

The price of fund shares is based on net asset value. The net asset value is
the total value of the fund divided by the total number of shares outstanding.
In determining net asset value, the fund values its securities at their
amortized cost. This method uses a constant amortization to maturity of the
difference between the cost of the instrument to the fund and the amount due at
maturity. The fund's net asset value per share is expected to be $1.00,
although this value is not guaranteed.

The fund calculates net asset value on days that the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) is open. The fund calculates net asset value separately for each class
as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern
time). The NYSE normally is not open, and the fund does not price its shares,
on most national holidays and on Good

Friday. If trading on the NYSE is halted for the day before 4:00 p.m., Eastern
time, the fund's net asset value per share will be calculated as of the time
trading was halted.

Your price for buying, selling or exchanging shares will be based on the net
asset value that is next calculated after the fund accepts your order. If you
place your order through PaineWebber, your PaineWebber Financial Advisor is
responsible for making sure that your order is promptly sent to the fund.

You should keep in mind that a deferred sales charge may be applied when you
sell Class B or Class C shares.

                              Dividends and Taxes

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIVIDENDS

The fund declares dividends daily and pays them monthly. The fund distributes
any net short-term capital gain annually, but may make more frequent
distributions if necessary to maintain its share price at $1.00 per share.

Classes with higher expenses are expected to have lower dividends. For example,
Class B and Class C shares are expected to have lower dividends than Class A
shares.

You will receive dividends in additional shares of the same class unless you
elect to receive them in cash. Contact your Financial Advisor at PaineWebber or
one of its correspondent firms if you prefer to receive dividends in cash.
Shares earn dividends on the day they are purchased but not on the day they are
sold.

TAXES

The dividends that you receive from the fund generally are subject to federal
income tax regardless of whether you receive them in additional fund shares or
in cash and are expected to be taxed as ordinary income.

If you hold fund shares through a tax-exempt account or plan such as an IRA or
401(k) plan, dividends on your shares generally will not be subject to tax.

The fund will tell you annually how you should treat its dividends for tax
purposes. You will not recognize any gain or loss on the sale or exchange of
your fund shares so long as the fund maintains a share price of $1.00.
