                                     PART I

ITEM 1.   BUSINESS 

     GENERAL

     United Asset Management Corporation ("UAM" or the "Company") is a holding
company organized in December, 1980 to acquire and own firms that provide
investment advisory services primarily for institutional clients.  The Company's
45 wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Affiliated Firms" or the "Firms") operate in
one business segment, that is, as investment advisers, managing both domestic
and international investment portfolios for corporate, government and union
pension funds, endowments and foundations, mutual funds and individuals.  UAM
intends to continue expanding through the internal growth of its present
Affiliated Firms and through the acquisition or organization of additional firms
in the future (see "Affiliated Firms").  In addition, UAM plans to continue to
diversify, both domestically and internationally, with respect to both the
classes of assets managed for institutional investors and client base.

     While UAM's Affiliated Firms primarily specialize in the management of U.S.
equities, bonds and cash, other asset classes under management have grown
significantly over recent years to include real estate, international securities
and stable value assets.

     Advisory fees based on the assets of pension plans, profit sharing plans,
endowments and foundations provide the substantial portion of the Company's
revenues.  Such clients are sometimes referred to as "institutional" clients,
and they are generally "tax-exempt" in that the income and any capital gains
which result from their portfolio investments are not taxable to them under
present law.  Advisory fees are primarily based on the value of assets under
management.  Fee rates typically decline as account size increases.  The assets
of institutional clients have generally been growing, with the most rapid growth
achieved by pension and profit sharing plans (sometimes called employee benefit
plans).  For the year ended December 31, 1995, no single client of any
Affiliated Firm provided more than 2% of the Company's consolidated revenues. 
Accordingly, the loss of any single client would not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's total investment management business.

     Each Affiliated Firm operates under its own name, with its own investment
philosophy and approach.  Each conducts its own investment analysis, portfolio
selection, marketing and client service. During any given period, investment
results may vary among Firms.  Client fees are set by each Firm based on its own
judgment concerning the market for the services it renders.  Each Firm is
separately regulated under applicable federal, state or foreign law. 

     In addition to the Firms' individual efforts, UAM has established 
several distribution and client service organizations which are avaialable to 
the Affiliated Firms to supplement the investment management services being 
provided by them. This is described more fully under "Method of Operation."

     UAM has established revenue sharing agreements with the Affiliated Firms
which are described more fully under "Revenue Sharing."  These agreements
provide for UAM to derive increased or decreased income from each Affiliated
Firm, based on a percentage of the change in each Firm's revenues from year to
year, starting from a base amount agreed upon in the year of acquisition.  These
arrangements allow each Firm to set its own operating expense budget and
compensation practices, limited by the share of revenues available to the Firm.


                                        1

     THE INDUSTRY

     Revenues in the institutional investment management industry are determined
primarily by fees based on assets under management.  Therefore, the principal
determinant of growth in the industry is the growth of institutional assets
under management.  In management's judgment, the major factors which influence
changes in institutional assets under management are:  (a) changes in the market
value of securities; (b) net cash flow into or out of existing accounts; (c)
gains of new or losses of existing accounts by specific firms or segments of the
industry; and (d) the introduction of new products by the industry or by
particular firms.

     In general, assets under management in the institutional segments of the
industry have increased steadily.  For example, Money Market Directories, Inc.
recorded in its 1996 Directory $3.7 trillion in assets under management in
accounts of employee benefit plans, foundations and endowments within the United
States as of mid-1995, which represents an average compound five-year annual
growth rate of 8.4% over the corresponding figure as of mid-1990.  The largest
institutional segment of assets under management has been employee benefit plan
assets.  The 1996 Directory reported $3.5 trillion of employee benefit plan
assets under management as of mid-1995, which represents an average compound
five-year annual growth rate of 8.5% over the corresponding figure as of mid-
1990.

     The employee benefit plan market includes two principal sectors:  defined
benefit and defined contribution plans.  The majority of U.S. retirement plan
assets are in defined benefit plans, which assure workers of a particular level
of pension benefits when they retire.  The Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 ("ERISA") and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") require
employers to fund their defined benefit plans sufficiently to generate the
benefits they have promised.  However, the Code also discourages overfunding of
defined benefit plans by employers by limiting tax deductions for contributions
to fully funded plans.  In management's opinion, high investment returns
experienced in the 1980s and thus far in the 1990s has resulted in many defined
benefit retirement plans reaching or exceeding their full funding limits based
on actuarial calculations; therefore, many corporations ceased to contribute
additional cash to the plans.  However, if the value of plan assets declines due
to market factors, or if sustained periods of low interest rates cause an
increase in the actuarial value of plan liabilities, employers will generally be
obligated to step up contributions to their defined benefit pension plans.  This
counter-cyclical funding pattern for defined benefit plans helps to smooth out
fluctuations in the growth of plan assets under management by firms that provide
investment advisory services to sponsors of defined benefit plans, and
therefore, it helps to smooth out fluctuations in the revenues of these
investment managers.  Under defined contribution plans, on the other hand,
employers may contribute to their employees' retirement funds on a tax-
advantaged basis, but individual employees often decide how their plan assets
will be invested.  Defined contribution plans are the fastest growing sector of
the employee benefit plan market.

     The number and size of investment management firms which UAM would consider
acquiring have grown in the past five years.  The 1991 Money Market Directory
showed 1,133 investment advisory firms (including branch offices) within the
United States managing $2.9 trillion as of mid-1990.  The 1996 Directory showed
1,349 such firms (including branch offices) within the United States managing
approximately $6.6 trillion of assets as of mid-1995, which represents an
average compound five-year annual growth rate of 18.0% over the corresponding
assets of mid-1990.


                                        2

     COMPETITION

     The Affiliated Firms compete with a large number of investment management
firms, principally those engaged in the management of institutional accounts. 
In addition, the Affiliated Firms compete with commercial banks and insurance
companies, many of which have substantially greater capital and other resources
and some of which offer a wider range of financial services.  Furthermore, each
of the Affiliated Firms may compete with other Affiliated Firms for clients.

     Management believes that the most important factors affecting competition
in the investment management industry are the abilities and reputations of
investment managers, differences in the investment performance of investment
management firms and the development of new investment strategies, information
technologies and client service capabilities, rather than differences in
advisory fees.

     Barriers to entry are low, and firms are relatively long-lived in the
investment management business.  A new investment management firm has low
capital requirements.  Maintaining the firm requires only the continued
involvement of its professional personnel.  A major portion of profits may be
regularly withdrawn because new capital commitments are limited and rarely
necessary.

     UAM competes, with respect to the acquisition of investment management
firms, with many other potential purchasers of investment management firms,
including insurance companies, banks and other investment groups.  For the most
part, these acquirers have sought a single firm rather than undertaking a
program of acquisitions similar to UAM's.  As a result of its continuing
acquisition activities, including regular contacts with potential acquisition
candidates, UAM has an extensive knowledge of the candidate population both
domestically and internationally.

     UAM'S ACQUISITION PROGRAM 

     Since its inception, UAM has sought to acquire or to organize institutional
investment management firms.  Once it has acquired or organized such firms, UAM
seeks to preserve their autonomy by allowing their key employees to retain
control of investment decisions and manage the day-to-day operations.  Where the
Affiliated Firm is acquired from its employee-stockholders, the former
stockholders receive the added benefits of a more diversified company by virtue
of their equity ownership in UAM.

     UAM conducts its own acquisition activities rather than relying primarily
upon outside agents to find and develop acquisition candidates for it.  UAM's
activities include regular mailing and calling programs through which UAM seeks
to contact and visit potential acquisition candidates on a regular basis.  UAM
is willing to use finders to locate suitable candidates and has paid finders'
fees on four occasions.  Once acquisition negotiations begin, UAM utilizes its
own staff and outside legal counsel to negotiate price, terms and the wording of
specific documents required.  Typically, a definitive purchase agreement is
signed, and then each of the clients of the firm to be acquired is contacted by
a principal of that firm in order to obtain the client's consent to the
assignment of its advisory contract as required by the Investment Advisers Act
of 1940.  Once sufficient consents have been received, the acquisition is
completed.  Consent of all of a firm's clients has been obtained in connection
with virtually all of UAM's acquisitions to date.


                                        3
<PAGE>

     After acquisition by UAM, Affiliated Firms continue to operate under their
own firm name, with their own leadership and individual investment philosophy
and approach.  UAM seeks to achieve diversity by acquiring investment management
firms having different investment philosophies and strategies and specializing
in different asset classes.  In addition, UAM has acquired or organized firms at
various stages of their development, from start-up to relatively mature firms
and has acquired both employee-stockholder firms and subsidiaries or divisions
of financial institutions.

     UAM has observed that the major reasons that employee-owned firms consider
selling to UAM include:  (a) the high value of the firm relative to its
principals' total net worth; (b) the need for liquidity on the part of the
principals;  and (c) their desire for diversification and a reduction in their
exposure to a single firm's results.  Substantially all the key employees of
Affiliated Firms continue to be vigorously involved in their firm long after its
acquisition by UAM.  

     In purchasing investment management firms, UAM has structured the
transactions in order to create incentives for the key personnel to remain with
their firm after the expiration of their employment agreements.  The key
employees have entered into employment and non-competition agreements for terms
ranging primarily from five to 12 years, which also prohibit the employees from
competing with their firm for a substantial period after termination of
employment.  Most of the key employees of the Affiliated Firms were stockholders
of such firms prior to their acquisition by UAM.  In connection with the
purchases, the former stockholders and/or key employees have typically received
consideration in the form of cash, subordinated notes and warrants to purchase
UAM common stock, or UAM common stock.  The subordinated notes, which may be
used to exercise the warrants, generally have terms between five and ten years. 
The key employees of each Affiliated Firm also participate directly, through a
revenue sharing arrangement, in revenues of their firm and meet the firm's
expenses from their share of these revenues, as described more fully under
"Revenue Sharing."

     UAM has over the past several years identified a substantial number of
institutional investment management firms both domestically and internationally
which it believes may be candidates for future acquisition on the basis of an
evaluation of their personnel, investment approach, client base, revenues and
profitability.

     To fund acquisitions, the Company utilizes its existing capital, together
with Operating Cash Flow (net income plus amortization and depreciation) and
borrowings available under the $400,000,000 Reducing Revolving Credit Agreement
(as more fully described in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, see
Items 8 and 14).  Such borrowings are secured by the stock of the Company's
subsidiaries.  Subsequent to December 31, 1995, the Company is extending and
expanding its Credit Agreement into a five year, $500,000,000 revolving
facility.

     METHOD OF OPERATION

UAM itself does not manage portfolio investments for clients and does not 
provide any investment advisory services to Affiliated Firms and therefore is 
not registered as an investment adviser under federal, state or foreign law. 
UAM respects the individual character of each Affiliated Firm and seeks to 
preserve an environment in which each Firm may continue to provide investment 
management services which are intended to meet the particular needs of each 
Firm's clients.  UAM provides assistance to the Affiliated Firms in 
connection with the preparation of separate company financial statements, tax 
matters, 

                                        4
<PAGE>

insurance and maintenance of a company-wide profit sharing retirement plan.  
In addition, UAM has an operations group composed of senior officers of the 
Company which is responsible for establishing new marketing and service 
organizations, creating growth incentives and encouraging the undertaking of 
new projects and programs by the Affiliated Firms.  Upon request, the 
Operations Group is also available to assist Affiliated Firms in planning for 
future growth and management development, particularly with respect to 
succession planning.  The Company also sponsors several seminars and meetings 
for executives from each of the Affiliated Firms and from UAM which serve as 
forums for sharing business information.

     UAM seeks to assist the Affiliated Firms in their marketing activities by
providing resources and support for developing new products and reaching new
markets.  As a part of these efforts, UAM organized UAM Funds, Inc. previously
named The Regis Fund, Inc., a series mutual fund in which Affiliated Firms may
open portfolios to pool client accounts in an efficient, cost-effective manner
and to provide additional investment styles.  As of December 31, 1995, 17 of the
Affiliated Firms had opened, in the aggregate, 36 UAM Fund portfolios, and such
portfolios held assets totaling $2.1 billion.

     In 1993, UAM established Regis Retirement Plan Services in response to the
growth in the defined contribution plan sector of the market by offering bundled
products, including investment management capabilities through the UAM Fund
portfolios managed by the Affiliated Firms, as well as employee education,
recordkeeping and trustee services to the sponsors of these plans.

     In 1994, UAM established United Asset Management (Japan), Inc. to offer and
service products managed by the Affiliated Firms to Japanese investors.  This
affiliate is a single entity delivering service locally in Japan, but it
represents the great breadth of expertise available in all of UAM's Affiliated
Firms.  It is currently registered in Japan as a non-discretionary adviser, and
is preparing to apply for a license to offer discretionary investment services
to Japanese institutional investors.

     In 1995, UAM established two additional marketing and service 
organizations.  UAM Investment Services, Inc. was organized to provide 
multi-product and global capabilities to large defined benefit plans and 
other major institutional investors such as insurance companies, as well as 
to financial planners. This new unit does not replace but supplements the 
marketing and client service activities of the Affiliated Firms and 
participation in it is voluntary on the part of each firm. It will provide a 
single convenient channel through which clients both domestically and abroad, 
can utilize the many investment products offered by the affiliated firms. In 
addition, UAM Fund Services, Inc. was formed to oversee the numerous service 
providers currently being used by some of UAM's Firms to support their funds 
that are part of UAM Funds, Inc. or their own separate family of funds.

     UAM believes that the professional independence of the Affiliated Firms and
the continuing diversification of investment philosophies and approaches within
the Company are necessary ingredients of UAM's success and that of the
Affiliated Firms.  The key employees of each Affiliated Firm at the time of
acquisition by UAM have continued with their Firm in accordance with employment
agreements executed in connection with each acquisition, have remained on their
Firm's Board of Directors, and have continued to serve as its executive
officers. Each Affiliated Firm's directors and officers are responsible for
reviewing their respective Firm's results, plans and budgets.  UAM intends to
continue the method of operation described above as it acquires or organizes
additional firms.

<PAGE>

     REVENUE SHARING

     UAM operates with the Affiliated Firms under "revenue sharing" 
agreements. The agreements permit each Firm to retain a specified percentage 
of its revenues (typically 50-70%) for use by its principals at their 
discretion in paying expenses of operations, including salaries and bonuses.  
The purposes of the agreements are to provide significant ongoing incentives 
for the principals of the Affiliated Firms to continue working as they did 
prior to the sale of their firm to UAM and to allow UAM to participate in the 
growth of revenues of each Affiliated Firm.  The agreements are designed to 
allow each Firm's principals to participate in that Firm's growth in a 
substantial manner and to make operating decisions freely within the limits 
of that portion of the Firm's revenues which is retained under the Firm's 
control.  In effect, the portion of its revenues retained by each Firm that 
is not used to pay salaries and other operating expenses is available for 
payment to the principals and other key employees of such Firm in the form of 
bonuses.  Thus, the portion of Affiliated Firm revenues retained by the Firms 
and used to pay salaries, fund operating expenses and bonuses is included in 
the Company's Consolidated Statement of Income.

     Under each agreement, when an Affiliated Firm is acquired by UAM, the "base
revenues" of the Firm are established, and a share of such revenues is allocated
to UAM, with the remaining balance being the acquired Firm's share of revenues. 
In addition, agreement is reached on the Firm's and UAM's respective percentage
shares of changes in such Firm's revenues compared to its base revenues.  The
Affiliated Firm is required to pay for all of its business expenses out of its
share of its revenues.  Each year, the amount of the Affiliated Firm's revenues
that is paid to UAM and the amount that is retained by the Firm are adjusted
upwards in the case of growth in such Firm's revenues over its base, or
downwards in the case of decreases in such Firm's revenues below its base, by
applying the agreed-upon percentages to the total increase or decrease in the
Firm's revenues.  Under most of the existing revenue sharing agreements, UAM's
share of increases above a Firm's base revenues is between 30% and 50%, and
UAM's share of decreases below a Firm's base revenues is between 50% and 70%.  
Thus, in any year in which the Affiliated Firm's revenues increase over its base
revenues, the Firm retains a portion of such additional amounts to use as its
principals may decide.  The balance of the increase in the Affiliated Firm's
revenues is paid to UAM, in addition to UAM's share of such Firm's base
revenues.  In any year in which the Affiliated Firm's revenues decrease to a
level below its base revenues, the Firm's share of its base revenues is reduced
by the Firm's portion of the decrease, and therefore, the Firm may need to
reduce its expenses.  Similarly, the revenue sharing amount paid to UAM will be
reduced by UAM's share of any decline in the Affiliated Firm's revenues below
its base.  

     In addition to revenue sharing with its Affiliated Firms, UAM has 
designed several incentive programs to reward business growth, client 
retention, investment performance and managerial development. Incentives 
awarded pursuant to these programs are paid in the form of cash, stock 
options, incentive growth shares or some combination thereof.

                                        6
<PAGE>

     AFFILIATED FIRMS 

     Each of the Affiliated Firms conducts its own marketing, client relations,
research, portfolio management and administrative functions.  Each Firm sets its
own investment advisory fees and manages its business independently on a day-to-
day basis.

     The investment philosophy, style and approach of each Affiliated Firm are
independently determined by it, and these philosophies, styles and approaches
may vary substantially from Firm to Firm.  As a consequence, more than one
Affiliated Firm may be retained by a single client since many clients employ
multiple investment advisers.  The strategies employed and securities selected
by Affiliated Firms are separately chosen by each of them, with the result that
any one Firm may be bullish on the stock or bond market while another Firm is
bearish.  Two of the Affiliated Firms are full-service institutional real estate
investment management firms with $13.3 billion of assets under management at
year end.  These Firms invest in real estate properties in the U.S. and overseas
for their U.S. and foreign clients and provide a broad spectrum of real estate
services, including research, acquisition and disposition, financing and asset 
and property management.  In addition, another Affiliated Firm, with 
$7.4 billion of assets under management at year end, manages stable value asset
portfolios such as guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs") and synthetic GICs.

     All of these differences, when combined with the separate names and
identities of the various Affiliated Firms may: (a) tend to insulate UAM from
the various cycles of market performance for specific asset classes and
individual Firms; (b) permit more than one Affiliated Firm to serve any single
client; and (c) mean that some Affiliated Firms may attract substantial new
business while other Firms may be growing more slowly or losing business.

     On December 31, 1995, UAM's 45 Affiliated Firms had 6,040 clients with
$142.1 billion of assets under management for an average account size of $23.5
million.  On a fee basis, the 20 largest clients represented 10% of total
revenues and the 100 largest clients represented 21%.  On an asset basis, the 20
largest clients represented 16% of the total assets under management and the 100
largest clients represented 34%.  The client list includes many of the largest
corporate, government, charitable and union funds in the U.S. and abroad along
with the funds of several mutual fund organizations, many individuals and a
number of professional groups.  Additional information regarding the number of
clients and types and amounts of assets under management is found in the table
on page 38 of the Company's 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders (the "Annual
Report"), which table is incorporated herein by reference.

The following table summarizes UAM's asset mix:

     As previously described, each of the Affiliated Firms is responsible for
and provides its own marketing of its investment management services. 
Typically, one or more of the employees at each Firm is responsible for making
an initial contact with prospective clients.  Most Firms have brochures
describing the Firm, its principals and its investment approach.  These
brochures are mailed to prospective clients.  In addition, clients are solicited
by telephone and in person.  Once an initial contact is made, several face-to-
face meetings between the principals of such Firm and the prospective client
take place at which investment philosophy, management fees and a variety of
other related matters are discussed.

     REGULATION

     UAM's domestic investment advisory subsidiaries are registered with
and subject to regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(the "SEC") under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and, where applicable,
under state advisory laws.  The Company's foreign investment advisory affiliates
are members of or subject to certain self-regulatory bodies or other regulatory
agencies.  The Company's brokerage subsidiaries are registered as broker-dealers
with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, where applicable,
under state securities laws, and are regulated by the SEC, state securities
administrators and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.  Three
Affiliated Firms are regulated by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission,
and two own trust companies which are subject to regulation by the Office of
Comptroller of the Currency or applicable state law.

     UAM's domestic investment advisory subsidiaries are subject to ERISA and to
regulations promulgated thereunder to the extent they are "fiduciaries" under
ERISA with respect to their clients.

     Registrations, reporting, maintenance of books and records and
compliance procedures required by these laws and regulations promulgated
thereunder are maintained by each UAM subsidiary on an independent basis.

     The officers, directors and employees of UAM's investment advisory
subsidiaries may from time to time own securities which are also owned by one or
more of their clients.  Each such Firm has internal guidelines and codes of
ethics with respect to individual investments, and requires reporting of
securities transactions and restricts certain transactions so as to minimize
possible conflicts of interest.

______________

(1)  The proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants in accordance
     with the modified treasury stock method are first used to buy back up to
     20% of the Company's common stock at the average price for the period in
     the primary calculation and at the higher of the average or closing price
     in the fully diluted calculation.  Any remaining proceeds are used to
     retire debt, and this adjusts income for the interest assumed to be saved,
     net of income tax, from the use of such proceeds.

(2)  Adjusts shares for stock options and warrants under the modified treasury
     stock method and contingently issuable shares based on the probability of
     issuance, after adjusting for the stock assumed repurchased in accordance
     with (1) above.

                         PROFIT SHARING AND 401(k) PLAN

                                FOURTH AMENDMENT



     WHEREAS, United Asset Management Corporation (hereinafter referred to as
the "Company") adopted the United Asset Management Corporation Profit Sharing
and 401(k) Plan (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") effective as of January
1, 1989 and restated effective January 1, 1990, to provide retirement benefits
for certain employees of the Company and its subsidiaries; and

     WHEREAS, in accordance with Article 11, the Company wishes to amend the
Plan;

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended effective as of January 1, 1995,
unless otherwise indicated, as follows:

1.   Section 7.5  of Article 7 is amended to read and provide as follows:
     
     Upon the death of any Participant, whether or not such Participant is an
     active Employee, terminated, or receiving a benefit in accordance with
     Section 7.3(a), the Participant's Total Account in the Trust Fund shall be
     payable to the Participant's surviving Spouse or to the Participant's
     Beneficiary as designated in accordance with Section 7.6 of the Plan.
     
     If no election is made pursuant to the following paragraph, the
     Participant's vested interest shall be distributed in a lump sum payable in
     accordance with Section 7.2 as soon as practicable after the first
     Valuation Date that follows the death of the Participant by at least ten
     (10) days.  The amount of any distribution made pursuant to this paragraph
     shall be determined as of the applicable Valuation Date determined under
     the preceding sentence.
     
     Subject to the limitations of Section 7.7, the Beneficiary of a deceased
     Participant may elect (by giving at least ten (10) days' notice prior to
     the date that distribution would otherwise be made pursuant to the
     preceding paragraph) to defer distribution of a lump sum payable in
     accordance with Section 7.2 or may elect

<PAGE>

     installment payments identical to those permitted under Section 7.3(a). 
     Any election under this paragraph shall be subject to the following
     restrictions:

     (i)       No benefit account of $3,500 or less shall be eligible for
               deferral of a lump-sum payment or for installment payments.

     (ii)      A non-Spouse Beneficiary may not defer payment of a lump sum
               distribution beyond December 31 of the year that contains the
               fifth anniversary of the Participant's death.

     (iii)     A non-Spouse Beneficiary may not delay commencement of
               installment payments beyond December 31 of the year that contains
               the first anniversary of the Participant's death.

     (iv)      A Spouse-Beneficiary may not delay payment of a lump sum
               distribution or commencement of installment payments beyond the
               April 1 following the calendar year in which the Participant
               would have attained age 70-1/2.

     (v)       All such delayed or installment distributions shall be determined
               and made or commenced as of the latest administratively
               convenient Valuation Date prior to the earlier of the date
               elected by the recipient for the distribution or the applicable
               deadline for the distribution in subparagraphs (i) - (iv) above.

     (vi)      Except to the extent expressly contradicted in this Section 7.5,
               such delayed or installment distributions shall be subject to the
               provisions of Sections 7.7 and 7.8, including without limitation
               the restriction that installment payments may not extend beyond
               the life expectancy of the recipient.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if payments of a Participant's vested
     interest in the Plan have commenced prior to the Participant's death, then
     upon such Participant's death the Participant's remaining interest in the
     Plan will be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of
     distribution being utilized as of the date of the Participant's death.

2.   Article 7 is amended by adding the following new Section 7.11:

     7.11      IN-KIND DISTRIBUTIONS
     
               (a)  No in-kind distributions shall be permitted from any general
               investment fund established pursuant to Section 5.1.

               (b)  A Participant or Beneficiary may elect to receive
               distribution of segregated investment assets acquired pursuant to
               Section 5.8,


                                        2
<PAGE>

               either in cash or in kind, provided that in the event any such
               segregated investment is illiquid and cannot be sold on
               reasonable terms, the Trustee may distribute such asset in kind
               without the consent of the Participant or Beneficiary. 


3.   Section 10.6 of Article 10 is amended by adding the following as the Second
     Sentence of the Section:

          Each Company Contribution to the Plan is hereby deemed to be
          conditioned on its deductibility for federal income tax purposes by
          either United Asset Management Corporation or the Company that has
          made the contribution. 


     Except as specifically amended hereby, the Plan is hereby reaffirmed in all
respects.

     Signed as a sealed Massachusetts instrument effective as of the date stated
above.

                       UNITED ASSET MANAGEMENT CORPORATION

                           DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

     1.1     ADOPTION. This Deferred Compensation Plan is hereby adopted as set
forth in the following pages, effective January 1, 1994, by United Asset
Management Corporation.

     1.2     PURPOSE OF THE PLAN. The purpose of the Plan is to provide
employees who become covered under the Plan with enhanced retirement security
through tax-deferred benefits which will be payable on account of retirement,
death or other termination from employment or upon the occurrence of a change of
control over United Asset Management Corporation.

     1.3     NATURE OF THE PLAN. The Plan shall be maintained for the exclusive
benefit of covered employees and is intended to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations thereunder, and
other applicable laws, as such laws apply to deferred compensation plans that
are not intended to be "qualified plans" pursuant to Section 401(a) of the Code
and are maintained by employers which are not "eligible employers" within the
meaning of Section 457(e)(1) of the Code.  

     1.4     APPLICABILITY OF ERISA TO THE PLAN. For purposes of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, the Company and each
Participant intend that this Plan be considered an "unfunded" arrangement
(within the meaning of Sections 201, 301 and 401 of such Act) that is maintained
primarily to provide deferred compensation benefits for the Participants, each
of whom is a member of a select group of management or highly compensated
employees of the Company.

Control occurs, the Company may elect unilaterally to defer payment of all or

Separation from Service.  Any such election by the Company may be made by either

which a Change of Control occurs; provided that such election is made on the
form prescribed by the Retirement Committee and is received by the Retirement
Committee within 30 days after the Participant's Separation from Service or the
date on which a Change of Control occurs (as the case may be).  The Retirement
Committee shall have absolute discretion to approve, disapprove or modify before
approving any such election to defer benefits.

the Participant's Vesting Percentage at such time.  The Participant's Vesting
Percentage at any time prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control shall
equal the nonforfeitable percentage that the Participant is (or would be)
entitled to at such time under Qualified Plan Article 6, or any successor
thereto, in an account for Company Contributions.  The Participant's Vesting
Percentage at any time on and after the date on which a Change of Control occurs

     (a)     UNDER MUTUAL FUND ELECTION.  Subject to the Retirement Committee's
approval, the portion of any Benefit for which the Mutual Fund Election of
Subsection 8.5(a) is in effect at the time of payment shall be paid in cash
(equal to the value of such portion of the Benefit as of the final Valuation
Date on or before the date of payment) or in kind (by distribution of assets in
the Liquidity Fund, or otherwise owned by the Company, representing such portion
of the Benefit), or in any combination thereof, at the recipient's election;
provided that such election is made on a form prescribed by the Retirement
Committee and is received by the Retirement Committee by such date as the
Retirement Committee may set.  The Retirement Committee shall have absolute
discretion to approve, disapprove or modify before approving any such election
of payment medium.

     (b)     UNDER NOTIONAL SHARES ELECTION.  The portion of any Benefit for
which the Notional Shares Election of Subsection 8.5(b) has been made shall be
paid by the distribution of shares of Stock equal in number to the Notional
Shares representing such portion of the Benefit as of the date of payment;
provided, however, that the aggregate number of shares of Stock that are to be
distributed under the Plan shall not exceed 50,000, subject to adjustment by the
Retirement Committee to equitably reflect the effects of any stock splits, stock
dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and other similar changes in
the capital structure of the Company after the Effective Date.  At the Company's
sole option, such Stock may either be issued or


                                      -11-
<PAGE>

purchased by the Company for delivery to the recipient.  The Company shall
register all shares of Stock distributed under the Plan for resale pursuant to
applicable securities laws.  Except to the extent that shares of Stock may not
be distributed because of the foregoing limit of this paragraph, no payment in
cash or other property shall be made of any part of the Notional Shares Election
portion of any Participant's Benefit.


     Section 8.  Plan Administration

     8.1     RETIREMENT COMMITTEE.  The Plan shall be administered by a
Retirement Committee consisting of one or more members appointed by the Board,
and shall be the committee serving from time to time as the Administrative
Committee of the Qualified Plan unless a different appointment is then in effect
under this Plan.  Each member shall serve at the pleasure of the Board.  The
Retirement Committee shall act by majority decision of its members; provided
that any one or more members may act singly to perform any ministerial act on
behalf of the Committee.  The Committee shall have responsibility for the
operation and administration of the Plan and shall have the power and authority
to adopt, interpret, alter, amend or revoke all forms, rules and regulations
necessary to administer the Plan, to interpret all provisions of the Plan and
determine all questions of eligibility for participation in and benefits under
the Plan and all other issues of administration, and to delegate ministerial
duties and employ such outside professionals as may be required for prudent
administration of the Plan.  The Retirement Committee shall also have the
authority to enter into agreements on behalf of any Participating Employer as
necessary to implement this Plan.  The members of the Retirement Committee, if
otherwise Eligible Employees, may participate in the Plan, but shall not make
decisions of the Committee solely with respect to their own benefits.

     8.2     INDEMNIFICATION. The Company  shall indemnify and save harmless any
individual acting as a member of the Retirement Committee or in any other
fiduciary capacity from, against, for and in respect of any and all damages,
losses, obligations, liabilities, liens, deficiencies, attorneys' fees, costs
and expenses incident to the performance of such person's duties unless


                                       -12-
<PAGE>

resulting from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, or lack of good faith
of such individual.  Such indemnification shall apply to any such individual
even though at the time liability is imposed the individual was no longer acting
in a fiduciary capacity or as a member of the Retirement Committee.

     8.3     OWNERSHIP OF ASSETS. All amounts allocated under this Plan, all
property and rights purchased with such amounts, and all income attributable to
such amounts, property or rights shall remain (until made available to the
Participant or Beneficiary or the occurrence of a Change of Control) solely the
property and rights of the Company (without being restricted to the provision of
benefits under this Plan) and shall be subject to the claims of the general
creditors of the Company.  No trust is created under this Plan and it is not
otherwise funded in any manner.  No Participant or Beneficiary shall have any
preferred claim on, or any beneficial ownership interest in, any assets of the
Company or any benefit Account maintained under the Plan prior to the time such
assets are distributed as a Benefit, and all rights created under the Plan shall
be mere unsecured contractual rights.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in
this Plan shall be construed to prohibit any one or more Participants or
Beneficiaries from purchasing insurance to protect against loss on account of
the provisions of this Subsection 8.3, and the Company shall cooperate in any
effort to obtain such insurance; provided that any such insurance shall be
obtained, owned and paid for solely by the insured persons and not by the
Company.

     8.4     ACCOUNTS AND EXPENSES. The Retirement Committee shall establish and
maintain an unfunded bookkeeping Account on behalf of each Participant and
surviving Beneficiary who is awaiting or receiving payment of a Benefit under
the Plan.  Accounts shall be valued at least once each Plan Year on the
Valuation Date or Dates determined by the Retirement Committee, and each
Participant (or surviving Beneficiary) shall receive written notice of his or
her Account balance following such valuation.  Account balances shall reflect
the cumulative Allocation amounts and any earnings or losses attributable to the
deemed investment of such amounts pursuant to Subsection 8.5, and shall be
reduced by (a) administrative, investment and other fees, in such amounts and at
such times as the Retirement Committee deems appropriate for the


                                      -13-
<PAGE>

maintenance of this Plan and (b) benefits paid to or on behalf of the
Participant and/or anyone claiming through the Participant (including without
limitation any Beneficiary).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
have the discretion, but not the obligation, to pay all or any portion of the
fees and expenses incurred in administering the Plan.

     8.5     INVESTMENTS.

     (a)     MUTUAL FUND ELECTION.

     (i)     THE ELECTION.  Each Participant may elect to have all or any
portion of his or her Allocations under the Plan be deemed to be invested in one
or more mutual funds selected by the Participant.  All such elections shall be
made on a form prescribed by the Retirement Committee and shall be subject to
the following requirements and restrictions:

     (1)     A maximum of three mutual funds may be utilized by any Participant
at any one time;

     (2)     The Participant may change his or her designated funds and mix of
investments among such funds a maximum of once during each Plan Year;

     (3)     The availability of any particular mutual fund shall be subject to
the Retirement Committee's sole discretion; and

     (4)     No election shall be effective until it is received and approved by
the Retirement Committee.

     (ii)    THE INVESTMENT.  The deemed investment in or sale of a mutual fund
pursuant to a Participant's election shall be made at the daily value of such
fund on the next business day after the Retirement Committee approves the
election.

     (iii)   INVESTMENT EXPENSES.  All loads, fees, commissions, and sales
charges and the like that would have been paid on such deemed mutual fund
investments shall be deducted from the Participant's Account unless the Company,
in its sole discretion, elects to waive such deductions.


                                      -14-
<PAGE>

     (iv)    INCOME REINVESTMENT.  The pre-tax amount of all dividends and other
income that would be realized on such deemed investments shall be deemed to be
reinvested in each mutual fund.

     (v)     CALCULATION OF ACCOUNT BALANCE.  The value of the portion of a
Participant's Account for which the Mutual Fund Election is in effect at any
Valuation Date shall equal the daily value of the deemed mutual fund holdings of
such Account on such Valuation Date (or on the last previous business day if
such Valuation Date is not a business day).  Such deemed holdings shall reflect
all deductions and deemed reinvestment of income, if any, made pursuant to this
Paragraph (a) of Subsection 8.5.

     (b)     NOTIONAL SHARES ELECTION.


     (i)     THE ELECTION.  Each Participant may elect to have all or any
portion of his or her Allocations under the Plan (including all or any portion
of his or her existing Account that was previously invested under the Mutual
Fund Election) be deemed to be invested in Notional Shares.  All such elections
shall be made on a form prescribed by the Retirement Committee and shall be
subject to the following requirements and restrictions:

     (1)     The election with respect to any Allocations made for a Plan Year
and/or any portion of an existing Account previously invested under the Mutual
Fund Election shall be received by the Retirement Committee on or before June 30
of such Plan Year for a deemed investment (or reinvestment) in Notional Shares
as of the last day of such Plan Year (provided that elections made for the Plan
Year ending December 31, 1994 were made on or before such date and shall be
deemed to be invested in Notional Shares as of June 30, 1995); 

     (2)     No investment or reinvestment in Notional Shares will be made to
the extent that the Retirement Committee determines that such action would
likely result in more Notional Shares being credited to Accounts under the Plan
than could be paid out as shares of Stock pursuant to paragraph (b) of
Subsection 7.2; 

     (3)     To the extent that a Notional Shares Election cannot be carried out
because of clause (2) above, it will be deemed to be a Mutual Fund Election; and


                                      -15-
<PAGE>

     (4)     Once made, investment of an Allocation or reinvestment of any
portion of an existing Account in Notional Shares is irrevocable.

     (ii)    THE INVESTMENT.  As of the date that any deemed investment in
Notional Shares takes place, the number of Notional Shares credited to the
Participant's Account shall be determined by dividing the amount of the
Allocation to be invested and/or the value of the Account to be reinvested by
the closing price of the Stock on its principal trading exchange as of such date
(or on the last previous business day if such date is not a business day), with
any resulting fractional Notional Share rounded up to the next whole Share.

     (iii)   NO INVESTMENT EXPENSES.  No loads, commissions, fees, or other
sales charges or the like shall be deducted from a Participant's Account with
respect to such deemed investments in Notional Shares.

     (iv)    DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT.  The pre-tax amount of all dividends that
would have been declared on the Notional Shares credited to a Participant's
Account (if such shares were shares of Stock) shall be deemed to be reinvested
in additional Notional Shares at the closing price of the Stock on its principal
trading exchange on the dividend payment date, with any resulting fractional
Notional Share rounded up to the next whole Share.

     (v)     CALCULATION OF ACCOUNT BALANCE.  The value of the portion of a
Participant's Account for which the Notional Shares Election is in effect at any
Valuation Date shall equal the closing price of the Stock on its principal
trading exchange on such Valuation Date (or on the last previous business day if
such Valuation Date is not a business day) multiplied by the number of Notional
Shares credited to such Account.


             Section 9.  Liquidity Fund

     9.1     MAINTENANCE OF LIQUIDITY FUND.  The Company at its sole option may
from time to time maintain liquid assets representing all or any portion of the
value of Accounts invested pursuant to Mutual Fund Elections.



                                      -16-
<PAGE>

     9.2     INVESTMENT OF LIQUIDITY FUND.  Any Liquidity Fund maintained
pursuant to Subsection 9.1 shall be invested at the discretion of the Retirement
Committee; provided, however, that it is the intent of the Plan that any such
Liquidity Fund be invested generally in the same kinds and numbers of mutual
fund shares as the Participants' Accounts are deemed to be invested in from time
to time pursuant to the Mutual Fund Elections.

     9.3     STATUS OF LIQUIDITY FUND.  Any Liquidity Fund maintained pursuant
to Subsection 9.1 shall not be held in trust for any Participant or Beneficiary
and shall in all respects remain subject to the provisions of Subsection 8.3.


     Section 10.  Amendment and Termination

     10.1    AMENDMENT. The Company shall have the right to amend this Plan, at
any time and from time to time, in whole or in part; provided, however, that no
amendment (a) may reduce the vested balance of any Participant's Account as of
the date of such amendment or (b) except with the approval of the holders of the
Company's capital stock entitled to vote on such matters, (i) materially
increase benefits accruing under the Plan to Participants, (ii) materially
modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan, or
(iii) increase the limit specified in paragraph (b) of Subsection 7.2.

     10.2    TERMINATION. Although the Company has established this Plan with a
bona fide intention and an expectation to maintain the Plan indefinitely, the
Company may terminate or discontinue this Plan in whole or in part at any time
without any liability for such termination or discontinuance; provided, however,
that no such termination or discontinuance may reduce the vested balance of any
Participant's Account as of the date of such termination or discontinuance. 
Upon termination or discontinuance of the Plan, all Allocations shall cease.  At
the Retirement Committee's sole discretion, the vested portion of all Accounts
shall be either distributed immediately as Benefits or retained until each
Participant has a Separation from Service or a Change of Control occurs, and
Benefits shall thereafter be paid pursuant to Sections 5 through 7 of the Plan,
as then in effect.

     Section 11.  Miscellaneous

     11.1    LIMITATIONS OF RIGHTS; EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP. Neither the
establishment of this Plan nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any
fund or account, nor the payment of any benefits, shall be construed as giving a
Participant or any other person any legal or equitable right against the Company
except as provided in this Plan.  In no event shall the terms of employment of
any employee be modified or in any way be affected by the Plan.

     11.2    DETERMINATION OF BENEFITS, CLAIMS, PROCEDURE AND ADMINISTRATION. 

     (a)     CLAIM. A person who believes that he or she is being denied a
benefit to which he or she is entitled under the Plan (hereinafter referred to
as a "Claimant") may file a written request for such benefit with the Company,
setting forth his or her claim.  The request must be addressed to the Retirement
Committee in care of the Company at its then principal place of business.

     (b)     DECISION ON CLAIM. Upon receipt of a claim, the Retirement
Committee shall advise the Claimant that a reply will be forthcoming within 90
days and shall, in fact, deliver such reply within such period.  The Retirement
Committee may, however, extend the reply period for an additional 90 days for a
reasonable cause.  

     If the claim is denied in whole or in part, the Retirement Committee shall
adopt a written opinion, using language calculated to be understood by the
Claimant, setting forth:

     (i)     The specific reason or reasons for such denial 

     (ii)    The specific reference to pertinent provisions of the Plan on which
such denial is based

     (iii)   A description of any additional material or information necessary
for the Claimant to perfect his or her claim and an explanation of why such
material or such information is necessary


                                      -18-
<PAGE>

     (iv)    Appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Claimant
wishes to submit the claim for review

     (v)     The time limits for requesting a review and for completing any such
review.

     (c)     REQUEST FOR REVIEW. Within 60 days after the receipt by the
Claimant of the written opinion described above, the Claimant may request in
writing that the chief executive officer of the Company (or his designee) review
the determination of the Retirement Committee. Such request must be addressed to
the chief executive officer of the Company, at the Company's then principal
place of business.  The Claimant or his or her duly authorized representative
may, but need not, review the pertinent documents and submit issues and comments
in writing for consideration by the chief executive officer or his designee.  If
the Claimant does not request a review of the Retirement Committee's
determination by the chief executive officer of the Company within such 60-day
period, he or she shall be barred and estopped from challenging the Retirement
Committee's determination.

     (d)     REVIEW OF DECISIONS. Within 60 days after receipt of a request for
review, the chief executive officer of the Company or his designee shall review
the Retirement Committee's determination.  After considering all materials
presented by the Claimant the chief executive officer or his designee shall
render a written opinion, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the
Claimant, setting forth the specific reasons for a decision and containing
specific references to the pertinent provisions of the Plan on which the
decision is based.  If special circumstances require that the 60-day time period
be extended, the chief executive officer or his designee shall so notify the
Claimant and shall render the decision as soon as possible, but not later than
120 days after receipt of the request for review.

     11.3    DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY.  Each Participant (and each surviving
Beneficiary who is awaiting payment of benefits under the Plan) shall have the
right to designate a Beneficiary, and to amend or revoke such designation at any
time.  Each such designation, amendment or revocation shall be made on the form
prescribed by the Retirement Committee, and shall be effective only upon receipt
by the Retirement Committee.  If no designated


                                      -19-
<PAGE>

beneficiary survives the Participant (or a surviving Beneficiary) and benefits
are payable following the Participant's (or surviving Beneficiary's) death, the
Retirement Committee shall direct that payment of benefits be made to the person
or persons in the first of the following classes of successive preference
Beneficiaries:

     (a)     Spouse

     (b)     Descendants, Per Stirpes

     (c)     Parents

     (d)     Siblings

     (e)     Estate

     11.4    NON-ASSIGNABILITY OF BENEFITS.  Neither the Participant nor his or
her Beneficiary nor any other beneficiary under the Plan shall have any power or
right to transfer, assign, anticipate, hypothecate or otherwise encumber any
part or all of the amounts payable hereunder, which are expressly declared to be
nonassignable and non-transferable.  Any such attempted assignment or transfer
shall be void.  No amount payable under the Plan shall, prior to actual payment
thereof, be subject to seizure by any creditor of any such person for the
payment of any debt, judgment or other obligation, by a proceeding at law or in
equity, or be transferable by operation of law in the event of the bankruptcy,
insolvency, divorce or death of the Participant, his or her designated
Beneficiary or any other beneficiary under this Plan.  

     11.5    FACILITY OF PAYMENTS.  In the event that the Retirement Committee
shall determine that any person to whom a benefit is payable under the Plan is
unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, or is
otherwise mentally or physically incompetent, or unable to give a valid receipt,
the Committee may cause the payment becoming due to be paid to the person's
spouse, child, grandchild, parent, brother or sister, or to any appropriate
individual appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction, or to any person
deemed by the Committee to have incurred expense for such person otherwise
entitled to payment.

     11.6    OBLIGATIONS TO WITHHOLD AND PAY TAXES.  Each Participant or other
recipient of benefits under the Plan shall be liable for all tax obligations, if
any, with respect to any sum


                                      -20-
<PAGE>

received pursuant to the Plan and for accurately reporting and paying in full
all such taxes to the appropriate federal, state and local authorities.  The
Company shall have the right to deduct and withhold from any payment due under
the Plan or from other amounts owed to or with respect to the Participant all
withholding taxes and other amounts required by law.

     11.7    REPRESENTATIONS. The Company makes no representation or guarantee
that any particular federal or state income, payroll, personal property or other
tax consequence will result from participation in this Plan.  A Participant
should consult with professional tax advisors to determine the tax consequences
of his or her participation.  Furthermore, the Company makes no representation
or guarantee of the successful investment of any Allocations, nor shall the
Company be required to repay any loss which may result from such investment or
lack of investment.  

     11.8    SEVERABILITY. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any
provision of this Plan to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions
of the Plan shall continue to be fully effective.

     11.9    APPLICABLE LAW. This Plan shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with applicable federal law and, to the extent not preempted by such
federal law, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts applicable to
contracts that are made and to be wholly performed in such Commonwealth.


     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Plan to be executed under
seal by its duly authorized representative this 29th day of March, 1995.

______________

(1)  The proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants in accordance
     with the modified treasury stock method are first used to buy back up to
     20% of the Company's common stock at the average price for the period in
     the primary calculation and at the higher of the average or closing price
     in the fully diluted calculation.  Any remaining proceeds are used to
     retire debt, and this adjusts income for the interest assumed to be saved,
     net of income tax, from the use of such proceeds.

(2)  Adjusts shares for stock options and warrants under the modified treasury
     stock method and contingently issuable shares based on the probability of
     issuance, after adjusting for the stock assumed repurchased in accordance
     with (1) above.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The revenues of UAM's affiliated firms are derived from fees for investment
advisory services provided to institutional and other clients. Investment
advisory fees are generally a function of the overall fee rate charged to
each account and the level of assets under management by the affiliated
firms. A minor portion of revenues are generated when firms consummate
transactions for client portfolios. Assets under management can be affected
by the addition of new client accounts or client contributions to existing
accounts, withdrawals of assets from or terminations of client accounts and
investment performance, which may depend on general market conditions.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
AMORTIZATION OF COST ASSIGNED TO CONTRACTS ACQUIRED AND OPERATING CASH FLOW
(NET INCOME PLUS AMORTIZATION AND DEPRECIATION)

Cost assigned to contracts acquired, net of accumulated amortization,
represented approximately 75% of the Company's total assets as of December
31, 1995. Amortization of cost assigned to contracts acquired, which is a
non-cash charge, represented 17% of the Company's operating expenses.
Recording the cost assigned to contracts acquired as an asset, with the
resulting amortization as an operating expense, reflects the application of
generally accepted accounting principles to acquisitions by UAM of investment
management firms in transactions accounted for as purchases, where the
principal assets acquired are the investment advisory contracts which
evidence the firms' ongoing relationships with their clients.


Although the contracts acquired are typically terminable on 30 days notice,
analyses conducted by independent consultants retained by UAM to assist the
Company in allocating the purchase price among the assets acquired and the
experience of UAM's firms to date have indicated that: (1) contracts are
usually relatively long-lived; (2) the duration of contracts can be
reasonably estimated; and (3) the value of the cost assigned to contracts
acquired can be estimated based on the present value of its projected income
stream.


The cost assigned to contracts acquired is amortized on a straight-line basis
over the estimated weighted average useful life of the contracts of
individual firms acquired. These lives are estimated through statistical
analysis of historical patterns of terminations and the size and age of the
contracts acquired as of the acquisition date.


When actual terminations differ from the statistical patterns developed or
upon the occurrence of certain other events, the Company updates the lifing
analyses discussed above. If the update indicates that any of the estimates
of the average remaining lives should be shortened, the remaining cost
assigned to contracts acquired will be amortized over the shorter life
commencing in the year in which the new estimate is determined. There has
been no material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations as a result of these updates.



Cost assigned to contracts acquired is amortized as an operating expense. It
does not, however, require the use of cash and therefore, management believes
that it is important to distinguish this expense from other operating
expenses in order to evaluate the performance of the Company. Amortization of
cost assigned to contracts acquired per share referred to below has been
calculated by dividing total amortization by the same number of shares used
in the fully diluted earnings-per-share calculation.



For purposes of this discussion, Operating Cash Flow is defined as net income
plus amortization and depreciation, as reflected in the Company's
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Management uses Operating Cash Flow not
to the exclusion of net income, but rather as an additional important measure
of the Company's performance.


 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1995 COMPARED TO 1994


Revenues increased 42% to $698,462,000 in 1995 from $492,288,000 in 1994.
This increase is the result of acquisitions that occurred during both 1995
and 1994, as well as the overall increase in revenues due to positive
portfolio performance achieved by UAM's affiliated firms partially offset by
the effect of net client cash outflows. The revenues of Provident Investment
Counsel and Pilgrim Baxter & Associates have been included since their
acquisition dates, February 15, 1995 and April 28, 1995, respectively. In
addition, the revenues from the acquisitions of Suffolk Capital Management,
Inc. and JMB Institutional Realty acquired July 14, 1994 and December 2,
1994, respectively, have been included for a full year in 1995.



During 1995, UAM experienced a net increase in assets under management of
$38.1 billion to a total of $142.1 billion as of December 31, 1995.
Acquisitions totaling $19.6 billion and investment performance of $27.2
billion were partially offset by net client cash outflows of $8.7 billion.



                                      39

<PAGE>


Compensation increased 40% to $336,787,000 from $240,611,000 and other
operating expenses increased 33% to $106,773,000 from $80,577,000, reflecting
the acquisitions described above and higher operating expenses and
compensation earned by employees of existing affiliated firms in accordance
with revenue sharing agreements. Amortization of cost assigned to contracts
acquired rose 69% to $93,192,000 from $55,121,000 primarily due to the
acquisitions of Provident Investment Counsel and Pilgrim Baxter & Associates
and a full year of amortization of Suffolk Capital Management, Inc. and JMB
Institutional Realty.



Interest expense increased to $45,557,000 from $13,337,000 in 1994, due to
the increase in both the Company's average debt levels and interest rates
charged on senior debt.


Income before income tax expense increased 14% to $117,690,000 from
$103,206,000, reflecting the net result of the events discussed above. Net
income for 1995 increased 14% to $67,317,000 from $59,012,000 in 1994.


Fully diluted earnings per share for 1995 increased 8% to $2.16 compared to
$2.00 in 1994. This increase reflects the higher net income and the effect of
the Company's common stock repurchased, partially offset by the impact of the
issuance of shares of common stock, the Company's higher common stock price
and the exercise of warrants and stock options on the calculation of earnings
per share under the modified treasury stock method. Amortization of cost
assigned to contracts acquired on a per-share basis increased to $2.80 in
1995 from $1.86 in 1994 primarily as a result of the acquisitions described
above.


Operating Cash Flow increased 40% to $168,355,000 from $119,986,000 in 1994,
as a result of the circumstances discussed above.

1994 COMPARED TO 1993


Revenues increased 9% to $492,288,000 in 1994 from $449,858,000 in 1993. This
increase is the result of acquisitions that occurred during both 1994 and
1993 being partially offset by the effect of net client cash outflows and by
net declines in portfolio market values. The revenues from the acquisitions
of Dwight Asset Management Company, Suffolk Capital Management, Inc. and JMB
Institutional Realty were included from January 4, 1994, July 14, 1994 and
December 2, 1994, their respective dates of acquisition. The revenues of
Investment Research Company, acquired February 25, 1994 in a pooling of
interests transaction, have been included for all of 1994. In addition, the
revenues of Pell, Rudman & Co., Inc., acquired March 29, 1993, and GSB
Investment Management, Inc., acquired December 29, 1993, were included for a
full year in 1994, while only being included after their acquisition dates in
1993.



Compensation increased 10% to $240,611,000 from $218,617,000 and other
operating expenses increased 10% to $80,577,000 from $73,043,000, reflecting
the acquisitions described above and higher operating expenses and
compensation earned by employees of existing affiliated firms in accordance
with revenue sharing agreements. Amortization of cost assigned to contracts
acquired rose 14% to $55,121,000 from $48,493,000 primarily due to the
acquisitions of Dwight Asset Management Company, Suffolk Capital Management,
Inc. and JMB Institutional Realty and a full year of amortization of Pell,
Rudman & Co., Inc. and GSB Investment Management, Inc.


Interest expense decreased to $13,337,000 from $15,111,000 in 1993, primarily
due to the decrease in the average senior debt balance partially offset by
the increase in interest rates.

Income before income tax expense increased 9% to $103,206,000 from
$94,470,000 in 1993 as a result of the events discussed above. Net income for
1994 increased 11% to $59,012,000 from $53,287,000 in 1993.

Fully diluted earnings per share for 1994 increased 9% to $2.00 compared to
$1.83 in 1993. This increase reflects the higher net income together with the
effect of the Company's lower common stock price, partially offset by the
issuance of shares of common stock and the exercise of warrants and stock
options on the calculation of earnings per share under the modified treasury
stock method. Amortization of cost assigned to contracts acquired on a per-
share basis increased to $1.86 in 1994 from $1.67 in 1993, primarily as a
result of the acquisitions discussed above.

Operating Cash Flow increased 12% to $119,986,000 from $107,397,000 in 1993,
as a result of the circumstances discussed above.

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY


The Company generated $168,355,000 of Operating Cash Flow in 1995. This
Operating Cash Flow as well as the proceeds from the issuance of $150,000,000
in Senior Notes (the Senior Notes) completed in August 1995 were used
primarily for the following: to finance the $56,693,000 cash portion of the
acquisitions completed in 1995 (including additional purchase price
associated with prior years acquisitions), to repurchase shares of the
Company's common stock for $48,819,000, to pay dividends to shareholders
totaling $35,275,000 and to pay down $172,000,000 of borrowings under the
Company's line of credit. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had working
capital of $79,368,000 and had the full $400,000,000 line of credit
available. Subsequent to December 31, 1995, the Company is extending and
expanding its line of credit into a five year, $500,000,000 revolving
facility (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in
this Annual Report).



Management believes that the Company's existing capital, together with
Operating Cash Flow and borrowings available under its revolving line of
credit, will provide the Company with sufficient resources to meet its
present and reasonably foreseeable future cash needs. Management expects that
the principal need for financial resources will be to acquire additional
investment management firms, to fund commitments due or potentially due to
existing affiliates, to pay shareholder dividends and to repurchase shares of
the Company's common stock, which will require cash, the issuance of
additional UAM securities, or some combination thereof.



 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS



The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which
requires the Company to either adopt the fair value method of accounting for
stock-based compensation plans or to continue accounting for these plans
under the intrinsic value method and provide pro forma disclosures of net
income and earnings per share, including the tax effects if any, as if the
fair value accounting method had been adopted. This standard is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. The Company intends to
continue accounting for its stock-based compensation plans under the
intrinsic value method and provide the necessary pro forma disclosures in
1996.



 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EFFECTS OF INFLATION



The Company's business is not capital intensive. Management believes that
financial results as reported would not be significantly affected had such
results been adjusted to reflect the effects of inflation and price changes.



Increases or decreases in interest rates affect UAM's costs of operations
chiefly through increasing or decreasing the interest expense related to the
Company's assumption of debt. To mitigate the risks associated with increases
in interest rates, UAM has entered into and plans to continue to enter into
interest rate protection agreements (see Notes 1 and 3 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this Annual Report). Rates of interest on
the Senior Notes and a portion of existing subordinated debt are fixed.
Increases and decreases in interest rates may also affect market prices for
the various asset classes held by the Company's affiliated firms as assets
under management for clients. Changes in such prices may affect the
affiliated firm's revenues, and therefore UAM's consolidated revenues.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNITED ASSET MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
THE COMPANY

The principal business activities of United Asset Management Corporation (the
Company) are investment advisory services, primarily for institutional
clients, and the acquisition of institutional investment management firms.
The Company's wholly owned subsidiaries operate in one business segment, that
is, as investment advisers, managing both domestic and international
investment portfolios for corporate, government and union pension funds,
endowments and foundations, mutual funds and individuals. While the Company's
subsidiaries primarily specialize in the management of U.S. equities, bonds
and cash, other asset classes under management have grown significantly in
recent years to include real estate, international securities and stable
value assets.

The Company has arrangements with its subsidiaries and certain of their
principal officers (revenue sharing plans) under which the subsidiaries are
entitled to use a portion (determined by formula) of their revenues to meet
all their operating expenses, including compensation, at the discretion of
the subsidiaries' management. Revenues in excess of those used to meet
operating expenses of a subsidiary are used by the Company to meet its
operating and cash flow needs. All operating expenses incurred by the
subsidiaries are charged to operations and reported as compensation and
related expenses or as other operating expenses in these consolidated
financial statements.

CONSOLIDATION

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and all of its subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have
been eliminated.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The majority of the Company's revenues are derived from investment advisory
fees that are normally accrued over the period in which services are
performed. Any fees collected in advance are deferred and recognized as
income over the period earned. Transaction-based fees are recognized when all
contractual obligations have been satisfied. All investment advisory fees
receivable are expected to be collected.

FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION

Equipment and other fixed assets are recorded at cost and depreciated using
the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives
or the term of the lease.

COST ASSIGNED TO CONTRACTS ACQUIRED AND GOODWILL

The purchase price for the acquisition of companies acquired in business
combinations accounted for as a purchase transaction is allocated based on
the fair value of the net assets acquired, primarily investment advisory
contracts.

The cost assigned to contracts acquired is amortized using the straight-line 
method over periods ranging from five to 20 years. These lives represent the 
estimated weighted average lives of the contracts acquired and are based 
generally on historical experience of the individual companies acquired. The 
estimated remaining weighted average lives of contracts acquired are 
periodically reevaluated. If experience subsequent to the acquisition 
indicates that the estimate of the average remaining lives should be 
shortened, the cost assigned to contracts acquired will be amortized over the 
shorter life commencing in the year in which the new estimate is determined. 
The results of the most recent reevaluations of estimated remaining lives had 
no material effect on the Company's financial position or results of 
operations.

Amounts paid to certain key employees for entering into long-term employment
contracts and noncompetition agreements at the time of acquisitions are
included in cost assigned to contracts acquired and are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the lives of such arrangements.

Purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired is
recorded as goodwill and amortized on a straight-line method over 40 years.
Goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, was $20,793,000 and $21,419,000 at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and is included in other assets in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNITED ASSET MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes for financial reporting purposes are recorded in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes (FAS 109). The asset and liability approach underlying FAS 109 requires
the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected
future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts
and tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities, primarily the cost
assigned to contracts acquired.

RETIREMENT AND PENSION PLANS

The Company has certain retirement and pension plans which cover eligible
employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. All plans are defined
contribution retirement plans, with the exception of a defined benefit
pension plan maintained by a non-U.S. subsidiary. The expense related to all
plans was $8,523,000, $6,883,000 and $7,050,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

The defined benefit pension plan has an excess of plan assets over plan
obligations. Excess plan assets and pension expense relating to this plan are
not significant in relation to the Company's consolidated financial
statement.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation (FAS 123), is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1995. Under the requirements of FAS 123, the Company may
adopt the new fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation
plans or continue to account for these plans using the intrinsic value method
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). If the accounting treatment under APB 25
continues, pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share,
including the tax effects if any, as if the fair value accounting method had
been adopted are required. The Company intends to continue accounting for its
stock-based compensation plans under APB 25 and will provide the necessary
disclosures required under FAS 123 in 1996.

EARNINGS PER SHARE


Primary earnings per share represent earnings per common and common
equivalent share which are determined on the basis of the weighted average
number of shares outstanding after giving effect to (1) potentially dilutive
stock options and warrants under the modified treasury stock method; and (2)
contingently issuable stock and warrants based on the probability of
issuance.

Fully diluted earnings per share represent earnings per common share assuming
full dilution which are determined based on (1) the weighted average number
of common and common equivalent shares assumed outstanding under the modified
treasury stock method during the period; and (2) the issuance of contingently
issuable stock and warrants at the most dilutive level.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less. The Company invests its excess cash in
deposits with major banks, money market funds or in securities, principally
commercial paper of companies with strong credit ratings in diversified
industries. At December 31, 1995, cash equivalents included $30,946,000 of
short-term interest bearing securities, which were classified as held to
maturity and for which cost approximated fair value.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52,
Foreign Currency Translation, the financial statements of all non-U.S.
subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars as follows: assets and
liabilities at year-end exchange rates; income, expenses and cash flows at
average exchange rates; and stockholders' equity at historical exchange
rates. The resulting translation adjustment is recorded as a component of
stockholders' equity.

INTEREST RATE PROTECTION AGREEMENTS

The Company periodically enters into interest rate protection agreements to
reduce the potential impact of increases in interest rates associated with
borrowings under the Company's Reducing Revolving Credit Agreement. Premiums
paid for these instruments are amortized as interest expense over the terms
of the agreements. Any amounts receivable under these agreements are recorded
as a reduction of interest expense.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect amounts and disclosures reported in the accompanying financial
statements.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 3-NOTES PAYABLE


In August 1995, the Company sold $150,000,000 in Senior Notes (the Senior
Notes) to a group of institutional investors. The Senior Notes bear interest
at a fixed rate of 7.12% and mature in accordance with a scheduled payment
plan calling for equal annual payments beginning August 25, 2000 and ending
August 25, 2005. The proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes were used
to pay $150,000,000 of outstanding borrowings under the Company's Reducing
Revolving Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement). Subsequent to this
transaction and under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company has the
ability to borrow, prepay and reborrow up to $400,000,000 through August 29,
1996. The principal amount of borrowings outstanding under the Credit
Agreement at that date will be payable in 12 equal quarterly installments
through August 29, 1999. As of December 31, 1995, an annual commitment fee of
 .35% is payable on the daily average unused portion of the $400,000,000
commitment. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit
Agreement at December 31, 1995. Subsequent to December 31, 1995, the Company
is extending and expanding its Credit Agreement into a five year,
$500,000,000 revolving facility.



Interest rates available for amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement
are currently: prime, 1% over LIBOR, 1.125% over certain certificate of
deposit rates or a money market bid option. Under the money market bid
option, the Company can borrow up to $50,000,000 from members of its banking
group at prevailing money market rates; any such borrowings reduce the
commitment under the Credit Agreement.



Under the terms of the Senior Notes and the Credit Agreement, the Company is
required to meet certain financial covenants, including covenants restricting
dividends and repurchase of the Company's common 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. Under the terms of the most restrictive covenant, $80,000,000
is available for the payment of cash dividends and repurchase of the
Company's common stock during 1996.

<PAGE>

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNITED ASSET MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Borrowings under both the Senior Notes and the Credit Agreement are secured
by the stock of the Company's subsidiaries.

At December 31, 1995, the Company was a party to interest rate protection
agreements entered into with certain members of the Company's banking group,
which extend up to three years and limit interest rates to an average of
8.3%. The notional principal amount of debt covered by individual
arrangements over their remaining lives ranges from $15,000,000 to
$150,000,000. Unamortized premiums outstanding were $2,309,000 and $3,532,000
at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. These amounts approximate fair
market value of the agreements. Amortization of premiums which is included in
interest expense was $1,477,000, $51,000 and $247,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Currently, the Company
mitigates the credit risk associated with interest rate protection agreements
by entering into these arrangements only with members of the group of banks
who are party to the Credit Agreement. The Company monitors the credit
standing of these counterparties on a continuous basis.

At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company also had $524,872,000 and
$193,339,000 of subordinated notes outstanding, respectively. These notes
primarily represent a portion of the consideration paid to selling
shareholders of businesses acquired, the majority of which remain employed by
the Company's subsidiaries subsequent to the date of acquisition. The notes
mature at various dates, through 2002, and have interest rates currently
ranging from 5.5% to 9%. These notes outstanding, with the exception of
$294,082,000 of notes due in 1996, may be tendered upon the exercise of
warrants issued in conjunction with these notes. In connection with the
exercise of warrants through the tender of subordinated notes, subordinated
debt of $23,676,000, $16,611,000 and $29,488,000 was extinguished in 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company intends to finance subordinated debt
that becomes due which has not been tendered through the exercise of warrants
by utilizing amounts available under its line of credit.

The aggregate cash repayments of all outstanding borrowings during each of
the five years subsequent to December 31, 1995 total the following amounts:

</TABLE>

The recorded cost of the Senior Notes approximates fair value. Due to the
unique nature of each of the subordinated debt instruments issued to the
sellers of firms, the assessment of current fair value is not practicable.

Included in accounts payable and accrued expenses at December 31, 1995 and
1994 is accrued interest of $26,285,000 and $4,925,000, respectively.
Interest expense and interest paid for each of the three years ended December
31 were as follows:

NOTE 5-STOCK OPTION PLANS

Under the Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan, the Board of Directors is
authorized to grant options for the purchase of 2,900,000 shares of the
Company's common stock to officers and other key employees of the Company and
its subsidiaries. The exercise price of the options is not less than the fair
market value at the date of the grant. The options expire five years from the
date of the grant and may not be exercised for one year from the date of the
grant. Thereafter, they may be exercised at dates stipulated in each grant.

An additional 300,000 shares may be awarded under the 1994 Eligible Directors
Stock Option Plan. Under this plan, each eligible director will be granted

</TABLE>



For purchase acquisitions which occurred prior to The Revenue Reconciliation
Act of 1993 (the Act), the excess contract amortization for income tax
purposes results from the application of a method under which the deductions
for income tax purposes are determined by (1) amortizing the cost assigned to
contracts acquired on a straight-line basis over the same estimated useful
lives as those used for financial reporting purposes; and (2) deducting the
unamortized balance of such cost which is allocated to the individual
contracts when any such contract is terminated. For acquisitions subsequent
to the Act, the deduction for income tax purposes is determined by amortizing
the cost assigned to contracts acquired on a straight-line basis over a 15
year period, with no deduction for the unamortized balance of individual
contract terminations.

The effective income tax rate differs from the statutory Federal income tax
rate as follows:

Income taxes of $40,551,000, $39,907,000 and $31,264,000 were paid in 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively.


The Company's federal income tax returns for the years ending December 31,
1984 through 1992 remain under audit by the Internal Revenue Service. On
January 30, 1992, the Company received a Revenue Agent's Report proposing
certain adjustments to the Company's federal income tax returns for the years
ending December 31, 1984, 1985 and 1986. In April 1992, the Company filed its
protest with the Internal Revenue Service. The principal issue involved is
the deductibility of the amortization of cost assigned to investment advisory
contracts acquired. Management and its advisors believe that the Company's
practice of deducting the amortization of cost assigned to contracts acquired
is correct and that the Company's position for the years under audit will
ultimately be sustained on appeal within the Internal Revenue Service, or, if
necessary, in court. In management's opinion, the appropriateness of the
Company's practice was further supported in 1993 by the Supreme Court's
favorable decision on similar practices for treating intangible assets.
Should the adjustments proposed in the Revenue Agent's Report be upheld in
their entirety, the Company's additional liability for federal income tax for
the years covered by the report would approximate $13,124,000, plus statutory
interest thereon. The Company believes that the amount, if any, which might
result from the audit will not have a material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position, its consolidated results of operations nor
its consolidated cash flows.
