                                   PROSPECTUS

                       UNITED ASSET MANAGEMENT CORPORATION

                                1,873,004 Shares
                                       of
                                  Common Stock
                           (Par Value $.01 Per Share)

     THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR
ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS.  ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL
OFFENSE.

     The shares of Common Stock being offered hereby (the "Shares") are being
sold for the accounts of certain stockholders (the "Selling Stockholders") of
United Asset Management Corporation (the "Company").  The Company will not
receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares.  The last price of the
Company's Common Stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange on January 23,
1995 was $36.00 per share.

     The Selling Stockholders have advised the Company (1) that they propose
that the Shares to be offered hereby be offered for sale and sold or
distributed, from time to time, by the Selling Stockholders, or by pledgees,
donees, transferees or other successors in interest, on one or more exchanges or
in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise at prices and at terms then
prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price, or in
negotiated transactions; (2) that such sales or distributions may be made by one
or more of the following: (a) a block trade in which the broker or dealer so
engaged will attempt to sell the Shares as agent but may position and resell a
portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; (b) purchases
by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its
own account pursuant to this Prospectus; (c) an exchange distribution in
accordance with the rules of such exchange; (d) ordinary brokerage transactions
and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; (e) in negotiated
transactions; or (f) through other means; and (3) that no sales or distributions
other than as described in (2)(a) through (2)(e) above will be effected until
after this Prospectus shall have been appropriately amended or supplemented, if
required, to set forth the terms thereof.  In effecting sales, brokers or
dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers or
dealers to participate.  Brokers or dealers will receive commissions or
discounts from Selling Shareholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately
prior to the sale.  In certain cases, such brokers or dealers, any other
participating brokers and dealers, and the Selling Stockholders may be deemed to
be "underwriters" as that term is defined in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, in connection with such sales.  In addition, any securities
covered by this Prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be
sold under Rule 144


<PAGE>

rather than pursuant to this Prospectus.  The Company has entered into an
indemnification agreement with the Selling Stockholders.  See section entitled
"The Selling Stockholders".

     Normal commission expenses and brokerage fees are payable by the Selling
Stockholders.  Expenses of issuance and distribution, other than commissions,
estimated at $35,000.00 will be borne by the Company.



                 The date of this Prospectus is January __, 1995

ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
provides for indemnification of officers and directors subject to certain
limitations.  The general effect of such law is to empower a corporation to
indemnify any of its officers and directors against certain expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by the person to be indemnified in connection with certain
actions, suits or proceedings (threatened, pending or completed) if the person
to be indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to
be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceedings, if he had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful.  The Company's by-laws provide that it shall
indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents to the extent permitted
by law.


<PAGE>

     The Company maintains insurance under which the insurers will reimburse the
Company for amounts which it has paid to its directors, officers and certain
other employees by way of indemnification for claims against such persons in
their official capacities.  The insurance also covers such persons as to amounts
paid by them as a result of claims against them in their official capacities
which are not reimbursed by the Company.  The insurance is subject to certain
limitations and exclusions.  One of the Company's directors serves as such under
the terms of an agreement with a corporation of which he is an officer.  In so
serving, he is covered by the officers and directors' liability insurance policy
maintained by such corporation.

     In addition, the Selling Stockholders have agreed to indemnify the
directors and officers of the Company who have signed this Registration
Statement under certain circumstances.

ITEM 16.  EXHIBITS.

     See Exhibit Index.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

     A.   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

          (i)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of
               distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
               Statement or any material change to such information in the
               Registration Statement;

          (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

          (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

     B.   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


                                      II-2

<PAGE>

     C.   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
