ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

(a)  JMB Institutional Realty Corporation and JMB Properties Company.

     On October 18, 1994, United Asset Management Corporation ("UAM") and its
wholly owned subsidiary Heitman Financial Ltd. ("HFL") entered into an
acquisition agreement in which they agreed to acquire and incorporate into HFL
and its subsidiaries the institutional real estate advisory and property
management assets and business of JMB Institutional Realty Corporation, JMB
Properties Company and their affiliates (the "Sellers"), other than the Seller's
retail property management business and certain other excluded assets (the
acquired assets and business are hereafter referred to as "JMB Institutional
Realty").  The closing of the acquisition took place in two parts.  The First
Closing occurred on December 2, 1994 at which time all of the assets and
business to be acquired were transferred with the exception of those assets
relating to PRA Securities Advisors, LP ("PRA").  The assets and business of PRA
were conveyed at a second closing on January 31, 1995 after a mutual fund,
advised by PRA, held a meeting of stockholders called to approve a new
investment advisory agreement with a newly organized subsidiary of HFL, as
required by the Investment Company Act of 1940.

     The institutional real estate advisory business of JMB Institutional Realty
currently manages approximately $5 billion in gross real estate assets.  The
property management business acquired provides non-retail property management
services for the real estate holdings of the institutional real estate advisory
business acquired and for others.  The transaction does not affect or involve a
number of the Seller's affiliates.  The unaffected affiliates include the
Sellers' individual investor, private client, partnership and development
operations.  Also unaffected are JMB Insurance Agency, JMB's interest in Urban
Shopping Centers, Inc.,  and its retail property management subsidiary, JMB
Retail Properties Company, land development activities at Amfac and Arvida, and
the investment advisory responsibilities in connection with certain contracts
including those related to Las Colinas, Catellus and Cadillac Fairview.

     The purchase price paid by UAM to the Sellers was $150,000,000 of short-
term (three-day) notes, $70,000,000 in principal amount of UAM Non-Negotiable
6-1/2% Subordinated Notes payable on the seventh anniversary of their issuance
and warrants, which expire on the seventh anniversary of their issuance, to
purchase an aggregate of 1,515,179 shares of UAM Common Stock, 760,869 of which
are exercisable at $46.00 per share and 754,310 of which are exercisable at
$46.40 per share (subject to adjustment in case of stock splits, etc.).


                                       -2-

     In negotiating the amount of consideration to be paid for the business, UAM
considered, among other things, the following factors with respect to JMB
Institutional Realty:  the financial results, the value of assets under
management, the client history, the investment performance and quality of
management, and the prospects for growth.

     There is no material relationship between UAM and the Sellers or any of
their respective officers, directors, or stockholders, other than the
Acquisition Agreement pursuant to which the acquisition will be made and the
other agreements relating thereto.


(b)  Provident Investment Counsel

     On November 10, 1994, UAM entered into an acquisition agreement in which
UAM agreed to purchase all of the assets of Provident Investment Counsel ("PIC")
at a closing on or about January 27, 1995.  By letter agreement dated January
19, 1995, the closing was rescheduled for February 15, 1995.  PIC, a California
corporation, is an investment management firm which had assets under management
as of September 30, 1994 of approximately $14.5 billion.  At the closing, UAM's
wholly-owned subsidiary, PIC Newco, Inc., newly formed for purposes of the
acquisition, assumed PIC's name and is continuing its business.

     Under the terms of the acquisition agreement as amended by the letter
agreement dated January 19, 1995 and by a subsequent letter agreement dated
February 15, 1995, the initial acquisition price which UAM paid was $12,750,000
in cash, $251,804,550 in principal amount of UAM Non-Negotiable 6-1/2% Short-
Term Subordinated Notes payable on January 2, 1996 (the "Short-Term Notes"),
$20,814,776 in principal amount of UAM Non-Negotiable 6-1/2% Subordinated Notes
payable on the seventh anniversary of issuance, warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 459,385 shares of UAM Common Stock exercisable at $45.31 per share
(subject to adjustment in case of stock splits, etc.) and expiring on the
seventh anniversary of their issuance, and $67,370,074 in shares of UAM Common
Stock.   Under the terms of the January 19, 1995 letter agreement, the number of
shares of UAM Common Stock issued was based on a price of $35.97 per share.

     The Acquisition Agreement also calls for additional purchase price to be
made, dependent upon the growth of PIC's business from the closing date of the
transaction through 1997.  The maximum total payment which may be earned as
additional purchase price is $125,000,000 which will be payable in cash, UAM
Common Stock, UAM Non-Negotiable 6-1/2% Subordinated Notes and warrants to
purchase shares of UAM Common Stock, all in pro-rata amounts based on the
relative amounts of such consideration paid at the closing with exception to the
Short-Term Notes component which will be considered cash in determining the pro-
rata amounts and subject to PIC's right to increase the note and warrant
portion and decrease the cash portion by up to a maximum of $10,000,000.  The
Notes and Warrants will be on substantially the same terms as the seven year
Notes and Warrants issued at the closing, except that the due date and
expiration date, respectively, shall be seven (7) years from the date


                                       -3-

of their issuance.  The per share price of the UAM Common Stock to be used in
calculating the number of shares payable in connection with the payment will be
based on an average closing price for a twenty-day period preceding the closing
date, provided, however, that if such price is less than the higher of $29.00
per share or 80% of the average of the closing price of UAM's Common Stock over
the year preceding the closing date, UAM may opt to pay that portion of the
payment in cash.

     In negotiating the amount of consideration to be paid for PIC's assets, UAM
considered, among other things, the following factors with respect to PIC:  the
financial results, the value of assets under management, the client history, the
investment performance and quality of management, and the prospects for growth.

     There is no material relationship between UAM and PIC or any of their
respective officers, directors, or stockholders, other than the Acquisition
Agreement pursuant to which the acquisition will be made and the other
agreements relating thereto.

(c)  Sources of Funds

     The principal sources of the cash portion of the purchase price for the
above described transactions and of the cash to be used to repay the Short-Term
Notes described above was or will be cash generated by UAM's operations and
borrowings under UAM's Amended and Restated Reducing Credit Agreement dated as
of August 29, 1994 (filed as Exhibit 10 to UAM's report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 1994, which exhibit indicates the identity of each
lending bank) and subsequently amended on November 18, 1994 as further discussed
in Item 5 within this Form 8-K.

Item 5.   Other Events


     The Company amended and restated its Reducing Credit Agreement as of
November 18, 1994 whereby an additional $100,000,000 was made available,
bringing the Company's total line of credit to $500,000,000.  In addition to the
pre-existing five year credit facility relating to the $400,000,000, the Company
may borrow the $100,000,000 through November 18, 1995.  Any of the $100,000,000
principal amount outstanding at that time will be due.  The Company plans to
refinance borrowings under this additional facility through placement of longer
term notes with institutional investors.

     Interest rates available, at the Company's election, for amounts drawn on
this additional $100,000,000 are currently:  prime, 100 basis points over LIBOR
or 112.5 basis points over certain certificate of deposit rates.  In certain
circumstances, interest rate spreads may expand up to an additional 50 basis
points. Currently, a commitment fee of 37.5 basis points is payable on the daily
average unused portion of the $100,000,000 commitment.

     The Company is required to meet certain financial covenants, including
covenants restricting dividends and repurchase of the Company's stock, and
requiring the Company to maintain a minimum net worth, as defined.  The Company
must also continue to maintain certain minimum working capital, cash flow and
debt to equity ratios.
