THE FUNDS AT A GLANCE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Funds offered by this Prospectus are not intended to provide a complete or
balanced investment program, but one or more of them may be appropriate as a
component of an investor's overall portfolio. Some common reasons to invest in
these Funds are to finance college educations, plan for retirement or diversify
a portfolio. When selling shares, investors should be aware that they may get
more or less for their shares than they originally paid for them. As with any
mutual fund, there is no assurance that the Funds will achieve their goals.

EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND

GOAL: To increase the value of your investment by investing primarily in equity
securities of companies in newly industrializing countries.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: Long-term capital appreciation.

RISKS: Equity securities historically have shown greater growth potential than
other types of securities, but they have also shown greater volatility. Because
the Fund invests primarily in equity securities, its price will rise and fall.
Investors in the Fund should be able to assume the special risks of investing in
foreign securities, which include possible adverse political, social and
economic developments abroad and differing characteristics of foreign economies
and markets. These risks are greater with respect to securities of issuers
located in emerging markets, in which the Fund seeks to invest most of its
assets. Most of the foreign securities held by the Fund are denominated in
foreign currencies, and the value of these investments can be adversely affected
by fluctuations in foreign currency values. The Fund may use derivatives, such
as options, futures and forward currency contracts, which may involve additional
risks. Investors may lose money by investing in the Fund; the investment is not
guaranteed.

SIZE: On September 30, 1996, the Fund had over $38.0 million in net assets.

GLOBAL EQUITY FUND

GOAL: To increase the value of your investment by investing primarily in equity
securities of U.S. and foreign companies.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: Long-term growth of capital.

RISKS: Equity securities historically have shown greater growth potential than
other types of securities, but they have also shown greater volatility. Because
the Fund invests primarily in equity securities, its price will rise and fall.
Investors in the Fund should be able to assume the special risks of investing in
foreign securities, which include possible adverse political, social and
economic developments abroad and differing characteristics of foreign economies
and markets. These risks are greater with respect to securities of issuers
located in emerging markets, in which the Fund may invest. Most of the foreign
securities held by the Fund are denominated in foreign currencies, and the value
of these investments can be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign
currency values. The Fund may use derivatives, such as options, futures and
forward currency contracts, which may involve additional risks. Investors may
lose money by investing in the Fund; the investment is not guaranteed.

SIZE: On September 30, 1996, the Fund had over $566.8 million in net assets.

GLOBAL INCOME FUND

GOAL: To provide high current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation by
investing primarily in high quality foreign and U.S. bonds.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The primary investment objective is high current income
consistent with prudent investment risk; capital appreciation is a secondary
objective.

RISKS: The Fund invests primarily in bonds, which are subject to interest rate
and credit risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that interest rates will rise
and bond prices will fall, lowering the value of the Fund's investments. Credit
risk is the risk that adverse changes in economic conditions will affect an
issuer's ability to pay interest and principal. Investors in the Fund should be
able to assume the special risks of investing in foreign securities, which
include possible adverse political, social and economic developments abroad and
differing characteristics of foreign economies and markets. These risks are
greater with respect to securities of issuers located in emerging markets, in
which the Fund may invest. Most of the foreign securities held by the Fund are
denominated in foreign currencies, and the value of these investments can be
adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency values. Certain
investment grade bonds in which the Fund may invest have speculative
characteristics. The Fund may also invest in bonds rated below investment grade,
which are subject to greater risks of default or price fluctuation than
investment grade bonds and are considered predominantly speculative. The Fund
may use derivatives, such as options, futures, forward currency contracts and
interest rate protection transactions, which may involve additional risks. As a

non-diversified fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 ('1940
Act') the Fund is subject to greater risk than funds that have a broader range
of investments. Investors may lose money by investing in the Fund; the
investment is not guaranteed.

SIZE: On September 30, 1996, the Fund had over $937.2 million in net assets.

MANAGEMENT

Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ('Mitchell Hutchins'), an asset
management subsidiary of PaineWebber Incorporated ('PaineWebber'), is the
investment adviser and administrator of Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Global
Equity Fund and Global Income Fund (each a 'Fund' and, collectively, the
'Funds'). Mitchell Hutchins has appointed Emerging Markets Management as the
investment sub-adviser for Emerging Markets Equity Fund and GE Investment
Management Incorporated ('GE Investment Management') as the investment
sub-adviser for Global Equity Fund.

MINIMUM INVESTMENT

To open an account, investors need $1,000; to add to an account, investors need
only $100.

WHO SHOULD INVEST

EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND is for investors who want long-term capital
appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve this by investing primarily in equity
securities of companies in newly industrializing countries in Asia, Latin
America, the Middle East, Southern Europe, Eastern Europe and Africa ('emerging
markets'). Over time, foreign stocks have shown greater growth potential than
many other types of securities. However, because their value tends to fluctuate
more than that of U.S. stocks, investors must be willing to tolerate volatility
in the value of the Fund's investments. These risks are greater with respect to
securities of issuers located in emerging markets. Accordingly, Emerging Markets
Equity Fund is designed for investors who are able to bear the risk that comes
with investment in equity securities of emerging market issuers.

GLOBAL INCOME FUND is for investors who want high current income consistent with
prudent investment risk and, secondarily, capital appreciation. The Fund seeks
to achieve this by investing primarily in high quality debt securities issued or
guaranteed by foreign governments, by the U.S. government, by their respective
agencies or instrumentalities or by supranational organizations, or issued by
foreign or U.S. companies. Investors in the Fund should be willing to assume the
special risks of investing in foreign securities, which include possible adverse
political, social and economic developments abroad and differing characteristics
of foreign economies and markets. Accordingly, Global Income Fund is designed
for investors who are able to bear the risk that comes with investments in
foreign securities.

HOW TO PURCHASE SHARES OF THE FUNDS

Investors may select among these classes of shares:

CLASS A SHARES

The price is the net asset value plus the initial sales charge; the maximum
sales charge is 4.5% of the public offering price (4% in the case of Global
Income Fund). Although investors pay an initial sales charge when they buy Class
A shares, the ongoing expenses for this class are lower than the ongoing
expenses of Class B and Class C shares.

CLASS B SHARES

The price is the net asset value. Investors do not pay an initial sales charge
when they buy Class B shares. As a result, 100% of their purchase is immediately
invested. However, Class B shares have higher ongoing expenses than Class A
shares. Depending upon how long they own the shares, investors may have to pay a
sales charge when they sell Class B shares. This sales charge is called a
'contingent deferred sales charge' and applies when investors sell their Class B
shares within six years after purchase. After six years, Class B shares convert
to Class A shares, which have lower ongoing expenses and no contingent deferred
sales charge.

CLASS C SHARES

The price is the net asset value. Investors do not pay an initial sales charge
when they buy Class C shares. As a result, 100% of their purchase is immediately
invested. However, Class C shares have higher ongoing expenses than Class A
shares. A contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (0.75% in the case of Global
Income Fund) is charged on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class C

shares never convert to any other class of shares.

CLASS A SHARES: Sales charge waivers and a reduced sales charge purchase plan
are available. Purchases of $1 million or more are not subject to an initial
sales charge. However, if such shares are sold within one year after purchase,
a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% is imposed on the offering price or
the net asset value of the shares at the time of sale, whichever is less.
CLASS B SHARES: Sales charge waivers are available. The maximum 5% contingent
deferred sales charge applies to sales of shares during the first year after
purchase. The charge generally declines by 1% annually, reaching zero after six
years.
CLASS C SHARES: If shares are sold within one year after purchase, a contingent
deferred sales charge of 1% (0.75% in the case of Global Income Fund) of the
offering price or the net asset value of the shares at the time of sale,
whichever is less, is imposed.

The management fees payable to Mitchell Hutchins by Emerging Markets Equity Fund
are greater than those paid by most funds. 12b-1 distribution fees are
asset-based sales charges.

Long-term Class B and Class C shareholders may pay more in direct and indirect
sales charges (including 12b-1 distribution fees) than the economic equivalent
of the maximum front-end sales charge permitted by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. 12b-1 fees have two components, as follows:

EXAMPLES OF EFFECT OF FUND EXPENSES

The following examples should assist investors in understanding various costs
and expenses incurred as shareholders of a Fund. The assumed 5% annual return
shown in the examples is required by regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission ('SEC') applicable to all mutual funds. THESE EXAMPLES SHOULD NOT BE
CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES. ACTUAL EXPENSES OF A
FUND MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.

An investor would pay the following expenses, directly or indirectly, on a
$1,000 investment in the Fund, assuming a 5% annual return:

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Funds' investment objectives may not be changed without shareholder
approval. Their other investment policies, except where noted, are not
fundamental and may be changed by the Funds' boards.

EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND

Emerging Markets Equity Fund's investment objective is long-term capital
appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective through investment in a
diversified portfolio consisting primarily of equity securities of issuers in
emerging markets in Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Southern Europe,
Eastern Europe and Africa. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests a
minimum of 65% of its total assets in equity securities of issuers located in
emerging markets and maintains investments in at least three emerging markets.
Issuers are considered to be located in an emerging market if: (1) the principal
securities trading market for the issuer is in an emerging market country; (2)
the issuer derives 50% or more of its annual revenue from either goods produced,
sales made or services performed in emerging markets; or (3) the issuer is
organized under the laws of, and with a principal office in, an emerging market.

Emerging Markets Management attempts to spread the Fund's investments over
geographic as well as economic sectors. Generally, Emerging Markets Management
does not intend to invest more than two-thirds of the Fund's total assets in any
single region, or more than 35% in any single country. Under no circumstances
will more than 25% of the Fund's total assets be invested in any single
industry. Within each emerging market, the Fund is diversified through
investments in a number of local companies characterized by attractive valuation
relative to expected growth.

There are currently over 60 newly industrializing and developing countries that
have equity markets. A number of these emerging markets are not yet easily
accessible to foreign investors and have unattractive tax barriers or
insufficient liquidity to make significant investments by the Fund feasible or
attractive. However, many of the largest of the emerging markets have, in recent
years, liberalized access, and more are expected to do so over the coming few
years.

GLOBAL EQUITY FUND

Global Equity Fund's investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The

Fund attempts to achieve this goal by investing primarily in equity securities
issued by companies in foreign countries, as well as in the United States.

The International Equity Team at GE Investment Management selects equity
securities issued by companies located in developed and developing countries
throughout the world. The Fund normally invests in at least three countries, one
of which is typically the United States. The Fund normally invests at least 65%
of its total assets in equity securities of foreign and U.S. companies.

When the International Equity Team believes it is consistent with the Fund's
investment objective of long-term growth of capital, the Fund may invest up to
35% of its total assets in investment grade bonds issued by corporate or
governmental entities. The bonds in which the Fund invests have maturities no
longer than seven years. When the International Equity Team considers market,
economic, political or currency conditions abroad to be unstable, the Fund may
assume a temporary defensive position by investing all or a significant portion
of its assets in securities of U.S. and Canadian issuers or by holding cash or
short-term money market investments.

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's total assets are invested
in equity securities or bonds of issuers in countries represented in the Morgan
Stanley Capital International World Index. This is a well-known index that
reflects developed and developing markets throughout the world.

GLOBAL INCOME FUND

Global Income Fund's primary investment objective is high current income
consistent with prudent investment risk; capital appreciation is a secondary
objective. The Fund seeks to achieve these objectives by investing principally
in high quality debt securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governments, by
the U.S. government, by their respective agencies or instrumentalities or by
supranational organizations, or issued by U.S. or foreign companies.

The Fund's portfolio consists primarily of debt securities rated within one of
the two highest grades

assigned by Standard & Poor's, a division of The McGraw Hill Companies ('S&P'),
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ('Moody's') or another nationally recognized
statistical rating organization ('NRSRO') or, if unrated, determined by Mitchell
Hutchins to be of comparable quality. Normally, at least 65% of the Fund's total
assets are invested in high quality debt securities, denominated in foreign
currencies or U.S. dollars, of issuers located in at least three of the
following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland,

France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand,
Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, the United
Kingdom and the United States. No more than 40% of the Fund's assets normally
are invested in securities of issuers located in any one country. Up to 5% of
the Fund's total assets may be invested in debt securities convertible into
equity securities.

The Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in debt securities rated below
the two highest grades assigned by a NRSRO. Except as noted below, these
securities must be rated at least BBB by S&P, Baa by Moody's or comparably rated
by another NRSRO or, if unrated, determined by Mitchell Hutchins to be of
comparable quality. Within this 35% limitation, the Fund may invest up to 20% of
its total assets in sovereign debt securities rated as low as BB by S&P, Ba by
Moody's or comparably rated by another NRSRO or, in the case of such securities
assigned a commercial paper rating, no lower than B by S&P or comparably rated
by another NRSRO or, if not so rated, determined by Mitchell Hutchins to be of
comparable quality. Mitchell Hutchins will purchase such securities for the Fund
only when it concludes that the anticipated return to the Fund on such
investment warrants exposure to the additional level of risk.

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY & PROCESS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND

In selecting equity securities for Emerging Markets Equity Fund, Emerging
Markets Management focuses primarily on asset allocation among selected emerging
markets and, as a secondary matter, on issuer selection within those markets. In
addition to considerations relating to a particular market's investment
restrictions and tax barriers, selections are made among emerging markets based
on other relevant factors, including the outlook for economic growth, currency
exchange rates, commodity prices, interest rates, political factors and the
stage of the local market cycle in the market.

Based on these and other factors, the Fund's portfolio of securities is
evaluated and, if necessary, adjusted on at least a quarterly basis to ensure
that it conforms to the objective and policies of the Fund. Each of the emerging
markets in which the Fund may invest is also monitored on a continuous basis and
tactical shifts in portfolio allocation are made, when required, based on new
developments.

Within each emerging market, the Fund invests in a variety of companies that are
characterized by attractive valuation. Using a number of data bases and sources
of investment information, Emerging Markets Management screens each market for
companies available for investment. To be considered for investment, companies
must legally permit investment by foreigners and have a market capitalization of
over $15 million. From among this group, investments are systematically screened
for fundamental value based on a number of standards, including
price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book value ratio, earnings momentum, dividend

yield and debt-to-equity ratio. The resulting selection of investments is
intended to provide a broad group of attractively valued investments available
to foreign investors in each emerging market.

Emerging Markets Management uses a proprietary asset allocation model to assist
in the selection of markets and individual stocks. Making use of long-term
historical data on at least 1,000 of the most actively traded stocks in the
target markets, as well as additional data for recent years and earnings
forecasts, Emerging Markets Management estimates the relationship between the
fair value and price levels of markets based on a variety of fundamental
indicators. The model evaluates markets in historical and prospective terms,
taking into consideration interest rates, inflation and currency developments.
While following a disciplined, systematic approach to investment selection,
Emerging Markets Management combines the results from computerized screening
techniques with market, industry, economic and political information.

GLOBAL EQUITY FUND

In selecting equity securities for Global Equity Fund, the International Equity
Team at GE Investment Management searches for growth companies selling at
reasonable prices, with an emphasis on undervalued medium- to large-size growth
companies with a global presence. The investment process employed by the
International Equity Team involves several steps.

First, the International Equity Team carefully screens a universe of thousands
of global stocks by comparing each company's price-to-earnings ratio with its
long-term growth. This evaluation helps eliminate companies whose stock prices
are too expensive, typically resulting in a list of several hundred stocks.
Next, this smaller group of stocks is rigorously analyzed by the International
Equity Team's experienced investment professionals. This step, which is designed
to determine whether a stock's price reflects its true value and whether the
market may eventually recognize the stock's value, reduces the universe to fewer
stocks.

Finally, the International Equity Team looks for a catalyst (such as new
management, new products or changing industry dynamics) that might cause the
market to realize that a stock is undervalued. This process typically results in
fewer than 100 stocks that the International Equity Team will buy for the Fund's
portfolio.

The strength of the Team's conviction about each company is part of what
determines the size of each holding.

The International Equity Team regularly reviews the equity securities held in
the Fund's portfolio to assess risks, such as stability in the political and
economic conditions of underlying countries, fluctuations in currency rates,
liquidity, changes in company earnings, and other relevant factors.

GLOBAL INCOME FUND

Global Income Fund's investment policies are designed to enable it to capitalize
on unique investment opportunities presented throughout the world and in
international financial markets influenced by the increasing interdependence
of economic cycles and currency exchange rates. Over the past decade, debt
securities offered by certain foreign governments provided higher investment
returns than U.S. government debt securities. Such returns reflect interest
rates and other market conditions prevailing in those countries and the effect
of gains and losses in the denominated currencies, which have had a substantial
impact on investment in foreign debt securities. As of December 31, 1995, more
than 65% of the Salomon Brothers World Government Bond Market Index was
represented by securities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

Mitchell Hutchins relies on fundamental economic strength, credit quality and
currency and interest rate trends as the principal determinants of the various
country, geographic and industry sector weightings within the Fund's portfolio.
In addition, certain of the Fund's assets are invested in the debt securities of
certain U.S. governmental and corporate issuers. Mitchell Hutchins believes that
over time investment in a composite of foreign fixed income markets and in the
U.S. government and corporate bond markets is less risky than a portfolio
comprised exclusively of foreign securities and provides investors with the
potential to earn a higher return than a portfolio invested exclusively in U.S.
debt securities.

reflect deduction of the Funds' maximum initial sales charge of 4.5% (4% in the
case of Global Income Fund) at the time of purchase, and standardized returns
for the Class B and Class C shares of the Funds reflect deduction of the
applicable contingent deferred sales charge imposed on the sale of shares held
for the period. One-, five-and ten-year periods will be shown, unless the Fund

return does not reflect initial or contingent deferred sales charges and would
be lower if such charges were deducted.

Total return information reflects past performance and does not indicate future
results. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Funds will

THE FUNDS' INVESTMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EQUITY SECURITIES include common stocks, preferred stocks and securities that
are convertible into them, including convertible debentures and notes and common
stock purchase warrants and rights. Common stocks, the most familiar type,
represent an equity (ownership) interest in a corporation. While past
performance does not guarantee future results, common stocks historically have
provided the greatest long-term growth potential in a company. However, their
prices generally fluctuate more than other securities, and reflect changes in a
company's financial condition and in overall market and economic conditions.

Preferred stock has certain fixed-income features, like a bond, but is actually
equity in a company, like common stock. Convertible securities may include

debentures, notes and preferred equity securities, which are convertible into
common stock.

BONDS (including notes and debentures) are used by corporations and governments
to borrow money from investors. The issuer pays the investor a fixed or variable
rate of interest and must repay the amount borrowed at maturity. Bonds have
varying degrees of investment risk and varying levels of sensitivity to changes
in interest rates.

RISKS

Following is a discussion of the risks that are common to each Fund:

EQUITY SECURITIES. Equity securities historically have shown greater growth
potential than other types of securities. Common stocks generally represent the
riskiest investment in a company. It is possible that investors may lose their
entire investment.

BONDS. Bonds are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. Interest rate
risk is the risk that interest rates will rise and bond prices will fall,
lowering the value of the Fund's bond investments. Credit risk is the risk that
adverse changes in economic conditions can affect an issuer's ability to pay
principal and interest. In addition, there is a risk that bonds will be
downgraded by rating agencies. Credit ratings attempt to evaluate the safety of
principal and interest payments and do not evaluate the volatility of the
security's value or its liquidity. Rating agencies may fail to make timely
changes in credit ratings in response to subsequent events, so that an issuer's
current financial condition may be better or worse than the rating indicates.

FOREIGN SECURITIES. Investing in foreign securities involves more risks than
investing in securities of U.S. companies. Their value is subject to economic
and political developments in the countries where the companies operate and to
changes in foreign currency values. Values may also be affected by foreign tax
laws, changes in foreign economic or monetary policies, exchange control
regulations and regulations involving prohibitions on the repatriation of
foreign currencies. Investments in foreign countries could be affected by other
factors not present in the United States, including expropriation, confiscatory
taxation, lack of uniform accounting and auditing standards and potential
difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations and could be subject to
extended clearance and settlement periods.

In general, less information may be available about foreign companies than about
U.S. companies, and foreign companies are generally not subject to the

--------------------
Prospectus Page 20
<PAGE>
------------------------------

PaineWebber Emerging Markets Equity Fund Global Equity Fund Global Income
Fund

same accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards as are U.S.
companies. Foreign securities markets may be less liquid and subject to less
regulation than the U.S. securities markets. The costs of investing outside the
United States frequently are higher than those in the United States. These costs
include relatively higher brokerage commissions and foreign custody expenses.

INVESTING IN EMERGING MARKETS. Investing in securities issued by companies
located in emerging markets involves additional risks. These countries typically
have economic and political systems that are relatively less mature, and can be
expected to be less stable, than those of developed countries. Emerging market
countries may have policies that restrict investment by foreigners in those
countries, and there is a risk of government expropriation or nationalization of
private property. The possibility of low or nonexistent trading volume in the
securities of companies in emerging markets may also result in a lack of
liquidity and in price volatility. Issuers in emerging markets typically are
subject to a greater degree of change in earnings and business prospects than
are companies in developed markets.

CURRENCY. Currency risk is the risk that changes in foreign exchange rates may
reduce the U.S. dollar value of each Fund's foreign investments. Each Fund's
share value may change significantly when investments are denominated in foreign
currencies. Generally, currency exchange rates are determined by supply and
demand in the foreign exchange markets and the relative merits of investments in
different countries. Currency exchange rates can also be affected by the
intervention of the U.S. and foreign governments or central banks, the
imposition of currency controls or other political developments inside and
outside the United States.

DERIVATIVES. Some of the instruments in which the Funds may invest may be
referred to as 'derivatives,' because their value depends on (or 'derives' from)
the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. These instruments
include options, futures contracts, foreign currency contracts, interest rate
protection contracts and similar instruments that may be used in hedging and
related strategies. There is only limited consensus as to what constitures a
'derivative' security. The market value of derivative instruments and securities
sometimes is more volatile than that of other investments, and each type of
derivative instrument may pose its own special risks. Mitchell Hutchins and the
Sub-Advisers take these risks into account in their management of the Funds.

COUNTERPARTIES. The Funds may be exposed to the risk of financial failure or
insolvency of another party. To help lessen those risks, Emerging Markets
Management, GE Investment Management and Mitchell Hutchins, subject to the
supervision of the respective boards of trustees, monitor and evaluate the
creditworthiness of the parties with which each Fund does business.

In addition to these general risks, investments in each Fund are subject to
special risk considerations:

EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND

INVESTING IN NON-CAPITALIST COUNTRIES. Emerging Markets Equity Fund may invest
in emerging markets that are formerly communist countries of Eastern Europe, the
Commonwealth of Independent States (formerly the Soviet Union) and the People's
Republic of China (collectively, 'Non-Capitalist Countries'). Upon the accession
to power of Communist regimes approximately 50 to 80 years ago, the governments
of a number of Non-Capitalist Countries expropriated a large amount of property.
The claims of many property owners against those governments were never finally
settled. There can be no assurance that the Fund's investments in Non-Capitalist
Countries, if any, would not also be expropriated, nationalized or otherwise
confiscated, in which case the Fund could lose its entire investment in the
Non-Capitalist Country involved. In addition, any change in the leadership or
policies of Non-Capitalist Countries may halt the expansion of or reverse the
liberalization of foreign investment policies now occurring.

GLOBAL EQUITY FUND

BONDS. The bonds in which Global Equity Fund may invest must be rated
investment grade. Investment grade quality means that the securities are rated
within the four highest categories by S&P or Moody's or comparably rated by
another NRSRO. Securities in the fourth highest category (BBB by S&P or Baa by
Moody's) are investment grade, but Moody's considers securities rated Baa to
have speculative characteristics. Changes in economic conditions or other
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity for such securities
to make principal and interest payments than is the case for higher-rated
securities. The Fund may invest in unrated securities if GE Investment
Management deems them to be of comparable quality. The Fund may invest in
convertible securities rated below investment grade up to 10% of the Fund's net
assets.

--------------------
Prospectus Page 21
<PAGE>
------------------------------

PaineWebber Emerging Markets Equity Fund Global Equity Fund Global Income
Fund

GLOBAL INCOME FUND

U.S. AND FOREIGN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. The U.S. government securities in which
the Fund may invest include direct obligations of the U.S. government (such as
Treasury bills, notes and bonds) and obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S.
government agencies and instrumentalities. The Fund is authorized to invest in
mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage

Association but does not presently expect to invest more than 10% of its total
assets in such securities.

The Fund may invest in 'zero coupon' Treasury securities, which are U.S.
Treasury bills, notes and bonds that have been stripped of their unmatured
interest coupons, and receipts or certificates representing interest in such
stripped debt obligations and coupons. A zero coupon security pays no cash
interest to its holder prior to maturity. Accordingly, these securities usually
are issued and traded at a deep discount from their face or par value and are
subject to greater fluctuations of market value in response to changing interest
rates than debt obligations of comparable maturities that make current income
payments. Federal tax law requires that the holder of a zero coupon security
include in gross income each year the original issue discount that accrues on
the security for the year, even though the holder receives no interest payment
on the security during the year. For additional discussion of the tax treatment
of zero coupon Treasury securities, see 'Taxes' in the Statement of Additional
Information.

The foreign government securities in which the Fund may invest generally consist
of obligations supported by national, state or provincial governments or similar
political subdivisions. Investments in foreign government debt securities
involve special risks. The issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities
that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to pay
interest or repay principal when due in accordance with the terms of such debt,
and the Fund may have limited legal recourse in the event of default. Political
conditions, especially a sovereign entity's willingness to meet the terms of its
debt obligations, are of considerable significance.

BONDS; LOWER-RATED BONDS. Global Income Fund is permitted to invest up to 35%
of its total assets in securities rated below the two highest grades assigned by
an NRSRO. Except as noted below, these securities must be rated at least BBB by
S&P or Baa by Moody's. These securities are investment grade but Moody's
considers securities rated Baa to have speculative characteristics. Changes in
economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened
capacity for such securities to make principal and interest payments than is the
case for higher-rated securities. Within this 35% limitation, the Fund may
invest up to 20% of its total assets in sovereign debt securities rated as low
as BB by S&P, Ba by Moody's or comparably rated by another NRSRO or, in the case
of such securities assigned a commercial paper rating, no lower than B by S&P or
comparably rated by another NRSRO. These securities are deemed by those NRSROs
to be predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay
interest and repay principal and may involve major risk exposure to adverse
conditions. Such securities are commonly referred to as 'junk bonds.' Commercial
paper rated B by S&P is regarded by the rating agency as having only an adequate
capacity for timely payment. The Fund is also permitted to purchase debt
securities that are not rated by an NRSRO but Mitchell Hutchins determines to be
of comparable quality to that of rated securities in which the Fund may invest.
Such securities are included in the computation of any percentage limitations

applicable to the comparably rated securities. In the event that, due to a
downgrade of one or more debt securities, an amount in excess of 20% of the
Fund's total assets is held in securities rated below investment grade and
comparably unrated securities, Mitchell Hutchins will engage in an orderly
disposition of such securities to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund's
holdings of such securities do not exceed 20% of the Fund's total assets.

Debt securities rated below investment grade generally offer a higher current
yield than that available for higher grade issues, but they involve higher
risks, in that they are especially subject to adverse changes in general
economic conditions and in the industries in which the issuers are engaged, to
changes in the financial condition of the issuers and to price fluctuations in
response to changes in interest rates. During periods of economic downturn or
rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers may experience financial stress,
which could adversely affect their ability to make payments of interest and
principal and increase the possibility of default. In addition, such issuers may
not have more traditional methods of financing available to them, and may be
unable to repay debt at maturity by refinancing. The risk of loss due to default
by such issuers is significantly greater because such securities frequently are
unsecured and subordinated to the prior payment of senior indebtedness.

PaineWebber Emerging Markets Equity Fund Global Equity Fund Global Income
Fund

NON-DIVERSIFIED STATUS. The Fund is 'non-diversified,' as that term is defined
in the 1940 Act, but the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a 'regulated
investment company' for federal income tax purposes. See 'Dividends & Taxes.'
This means, in general, that more than 5% of the total assets of the Fund may be
invested in securities of one issuer (including a foreign government), but only
if, at the close of each quarter of the Fund's taxable year, the aggregate
amount of such holdings does not exceed 50% of the value of its total assets and
no more than 25% of the value of its total assets is invested in the securities
of a single issuer. To the extent that the Fund's portfolio at times may include
the securities of a smaller number of issuers than if it were 'diversified' (as
defined in the 1940 Act), the Fund will at such times be subject to greater risk
with respect to its portfolio securities than an investment company that invests
in a broader range of securities, in that changes in the financial condition or
market assessment of a single issuer may cause greater fluctuation in the Fund's
total return and the price of Fund shares.

INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES AND STRATEGIES

foreign currencies, futures contracts and stock indexes) and futures contracts
(on foreign currencies, stock indexes and interest rates), and forward currency
contracts. Global Income Fund may also use these strategies to attempt to
enhance income; the use of such strategies solely to enhance income may be
considered a form of speculation. Global Income Fund also may enter into
interest rate swap agreements and certain other interest rate protection
transactions to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or
portion of its portfolio or to protect against an increase in the price of
securities the Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date. New financial
products and risk management techniques continue to be developed and may be used
if consistent with the Funds' investment objectives and policies. The Statement
of Additional Information for the Funds contains further information on these
strategies.

The Funds might not use any hedging strategies, and there can be no assurance
that any strategy used will succeed. If Emerging Markets Management, GE
Investment Management or Mitchell Hutchins, as applicable, is incorrect in its
judgment on market values, interest rates or other economic factors in using a
hedging strategy, a Fund may have lower net income and a net loss on the
investment. Each of these strategies involves certain risks, which include:

o the fact that the skills needed to use hedging instruments are different from
those needed to select securities for the Funds;

o the possibility of imperfect correlation, or even no correlation, between
price movements of hedging instruments and price movements of the securities
or currencies being hedged;

o possible constraints placed on a Fund's ability to purchase or sell portfolio
investments at advantageous times due to the need for the Fund to maintain
'cover' or to segregate securities; and

o the possibility that a Fund is unable to close out or liquidate its hedged
position.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Each Fund may use repurchase agreements. Repurchase
agreements are transactions in which a Fund purchases securities from a bank or
recognized securities dealer and simultaneously commits to resell the securities
to the bank or dealer, usually no more than seven days after purchase, at an
agreed-upon date and price reflecting a market rate of interest unrelated to the
coupon rate or maturity of the purchased securities. Repurchase agreements carry
certain risks not associated with direct investments in securities, including
possible decline in the market value of the underlying securities and delays and
costs to the Fund if the other party to the repurchase agreement becomes
insolvent. Each Fund intends to enter into repurchase agreements only with banks
and dealers in transactions believed by Mitchell Hutchins or a sub-adviser to
present minimum credit risks in accordance with guidelines established by the
Fund's board.

REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Global Income Fund may enter into reverse
repurchase agreements with banks and broker-dealers up to an aggregate value of
not more than 10% of its total assets. Such agreements involve the sale of
securities held by the Fund subject to its agreement to repurchase the
securities at an agreed-upon date and price reflecting a market rate of
interest. Such agreements are considered to be borrowings and may be entered
into only for temporary or emergency purposes. The Fund will not purchase
securities while borrowings (including reverse repurchase agreements) in excess
of 5% of the value of its total assets are outstanding.

WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED-DELIVERY SECURITIES. Each Fund may purchase securities
on a 'when-issued' or delayed-delivery basis. In when-issued or delayed-delivery
transactions, delivery of the securities occurs beyond normal settlement
periods, but the Fund would not pay for such securities or start earning
interest on them until they are delivered. However, when the Fund purchases
securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, it immediately assumes
the risks of ownership, including the risk of price fluctuation. When-issued and
delayed-delivery securities will not exceed 10% of Global Equity Fund's net
assets.

LENDING PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. Each Fund may lend its securities to qualified
broker-dealers or institutional investors in an amount up to 33 1/3% of that
Fund's total assets taken at market value. Lending securities enables a Fund to
earn additional income, but could result in a loss or delay in recovering these
securities.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER. Each Fund's portfolio turnover rate may vary greatly from
year to year and will not be a limiting factor when Mitchell Hutchins or a
sub-adviser deems portfolio changes appropriate. A higher turnover rate (100% or
higher) for a Fund will involve correspondingly greater transaction costs, which
will be borne directly by the Fund, and may increase the potential for
short-term capital gains.

DEFENSIVE POSITIONS. When Mitchell Hutchins or the sub-adviser, as applicable,
believes that unusual circumstances warrant a defensive posture, each Fund may
temporarily commit all or any portion of its assets to cash or money market
instruments, including repurchase agreements.

ILLIQUID SECURITIES. Global Equity Fund and Global Income Fund each may invest
up to 10% of its net assets, and Emerging Markets Equity Fund up to 15% of its
net assets, in illiquid securities, including certain cover for over-the-counter
options and securities whose disposition is restricted under the federal
securities laws. The Funds do not consider securities that are eligible for
resale pursuant to SEC Rule 144A to be illiquid securities if Mitchell Hutchins
or the sub-adviser, as applicable, has determined such securities to be liquid,
based upon the trading markets for the securities under procedures approved by
the Funds' boards.

OTHER INFORMATION. Each Fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency
purposes in the following amounts of total assets: Emerging Markets Equity
Fund--33 1/3%, Global Equity Fund--20%, and Global Income Fund--10%. Each Fund
may sell securities short 'against the box' to defer realization of gains or
losses for tax or other purposes. When a security is sold against the box, the
seller owns the security. In addition, each Fund may invest up to 10% of its
total assets in the securities of other investment companies. To the extent a
Fund invests in other investment companies, the Fund's shareholders incur
duplicative fees and expenses, including investment advisory fees. For liquidity
purposes, such as clearance of portfolio transactions, the payment of dividends
and expenses and payments to selling shareholders, or pending investment, each
Fund may commit up to 35% of its total assets to cash or money market
instruments, including repurchase agreements.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLEXIBLE PRICING(Service Mark)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each Fund offers three classes of shares through this Prospectus that differ in
terms of sales charges and expenses. An investor can select the class that is
best suited to his or her investment needs, based upon the holding period and
the amount of investment.

CLASS A SHARES

HOW PRICE IS CALCULATED: The price is the net asset value plus the initial
sales charge (the maximum is 4.5% of the public offering price or, in
the case of Global Income Fund, 4% of the public offering price) next calculated
after PaineWebber's New York City headquarters or PFPC Inc., the Funds' Transfer
Agent ('Transfer Agent'), receives the purchase order. Although investors pay an
initial sales charge when they buy Class A shares, the
ongoing expenses for this class are lower than the
ongoing expenses of Class B and Class C shares.
Class A shares sales charges are calculated
as follows:

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

(1) A contingent deferred sales charge of 1% of the shares' offering price or
the net asset value at the time of sale, whichever is less, is charged on
sales of shares made within one year of the purchase date. (The offering
price is the net asset value per share at purchase; therefore, the
contingent deferred sales charge when expressed as a percentage of each is
identical. However, if the net asset value per share at redemption is lower
than at purchase, any applicable contingent deferred sales charge when

expressed as a percentage of the offering price would be a lower
percentage.) Class A shares representing reinvestment of any dividends or
other distributions are not subject to the 1% charge. Withdrawals under the
Systematic Withdrawal Plan are not subject to this charge. However,
investors may not withdraw annually more than 12% of the value of the Fund
account under the Plan in the first year after purchase. This charge does
not apply to Class A shares bought before November 10, 1995.

(2) Mitchell Hutchins pays 1% to PaineWebber.

SALES CHARGE REDUCTIONS & WAIVERS

Investors who are purchasing Class A shares in more than one PaineWebber mutual
fund may combine those purchases to get a reduced sales charge. Investors who
already own Class A shares in one or more PaineWebber mutual funds may combine
the amount they are currently purchasing with the value of such previously owned
shares to qualify for a reduced sales charge. To determine the sales charge
reduction in either case, please refer to the charts above.

Investors may also qualify for a lower sales charge when they combine their
purchases with those of:

o their spouses, parents or children under age 21;

o their Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs);

o certain employee benefit plans, including 401(k) plans;

o any company controlled by the investor;

o trusts created by the investor;

o Uniform Gifts to Minors Act/Uniform Transfers to Minors Act accounts created
by the investor or group of investors for the benefit of the investors'
children; or

o accounts with the same adviser.

Employers who own Class A shares for one or more of their qualified retirement
plans may also qualify for the reduced sales charge.

The sales charge will not apply when the investor:

o is an employee, director, trustee or officer of PaineWebber, its affiliates or
any PaineWebber mutual fund;

o is the spouse, parent or child of any of the above, or advisory clients of
Mitchell Hutchins;

o buys these shares through a PaineWebber investment executive who was formerly
employed as a broker with a competing brokerage firm that was registered as a
broker-dealer with the SEC and

o the investor was the investment executive's client at the competing
brokerage firm;

o within 90 days of buying Class A shares in a Fund, the investor sells
shares of one or more mutual funds that (a) were principally

--------------------
Prospectus Page 25
<PAGE>
------------------------------

PaineWebber Emerging Markets Equity Fund Global Equity Fund Global Income
Fund

underwritten by the competing brokerage firm or its affiliates and (b)
the investor either paid a sales charge to buy those shares, paid a
contingent deferred sales charge when selling them or held those shares
until the contingent deferred sales charge was waived; and

o the amount that the investor purchases does not exceed the total amount
of money the investor received from the sale of the other mutual fund;

o is a certificate holder of unit investment trusts sponsored by PaineWebber and
has elected to have dividends and other distributions from that investment
automatically invested in Class A shares;

o is an employer establishing an employee benefit plan qualified under section
401 (including a salary reduction plan qualified under section 401(K) or
section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. (This waiver is subject to
minimum requirements, with respect to the number of employees and investment
amount, established by Mitchell Hutchins. Currently, a plan must have 100 or
more eligible employees or the amount invested or to be invested in a Fund or
any other PaineWebber mutual fund must total at least $1 million during the
subsequent 13-month period);

o acquires Class A shares through an investment program that is not sponsored by
PaineWebber or its affiliates and that charges participants a fee for program
services, provided that the program sponsor has entered into a written
agreement with PaineWebber permitting the sale of Class A shares at net asset
value to that program (for subsequent investments or exchanges made to
implement a rebalancing feature of such an investment program, the minimum
subsequent investment requirement and $5 exchange fee (applicable to Global
Income Fund) also are waived);

o acquires Class A shares in connection with a reorganization pursuant to which
a Fund acquires substantially all of the assets and liabilities of another
investment company in exchange for shares of the Fund.

For more information on how to get any reduced sales charge, investors should
contact their investment executive at PaineWebber or one of its correspondent
firms or call 1-800-647-1568.

CLASS B SHARES

HOW PRICE IS CALCULATED: The price is the net asset value next calculated after
PaineWebber's New York City headquarters or the Transfer Agent receives the
purchase order. The ongoing expenses investors pay for Class B shares are higher
than those of Class A shares. Because investors do not pay an initial sales
charge when they buy Class B shares, 100% of their purchase is immediately
invested.

Depending on how long they own their Fund investment, investors may have to pay
a sales charge when they sell their Fund shares. This sales charge is called a
'contingent deferred sales charge.' The amount of the charge depends on how long
the investor owned the shares. The sales charge is calculated by multiplying the
offering price or the net asset value of the shares at the time of sale,
whichever is less, by the percentage shown on the following table. Investors who
own shares for more than six years do not have to pay a sales charge when
selling those shares.

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
PERCENTAGE BY WHICH

2nd year since purchase 4
3rd year since purchase 3
4th year since purchase 2
5th year since purchase 2
6th year since purchase 1
7th year since purchase None
</TABLE>

The offering price is the net asset value per share at purchase; therefore, the
contingent deferred sales charge when expressed as a percentage of each is
identical. However, if the net asset value per share at redemption is lower than
at purchase, any applicable contingent deferred sales charge when expressed as a
percentage of the offering price would be a lower percentage than that noted
above.

CONVERSION OF CLASS B SHARES

Class B shares automatically convert to the appropriate number of Class A shares

of equal dollar value after the investor has owned them for six years. Dividends
and other distributions paid to the investor by the Fund in the form of
additional Class B shares will also convert to Class A shares on a pro-rata
basis. This benefits shareholders because Class A shares have lower ongoing
expenses than Class B shares. If the investor has exchanged Class B shares
between PaineWebber funds, the Fund uses the purchase date at which the initial
investment was made to determine the conversion date.

MINIMIZING THE CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE

When investors sell Class B shares they have owned for less than six years, the
Fund automatically will minimize the sales charge by assuming the investors are
selling:

--------------------
Prospectus Page 26
<PAGE>
------------------------------

PaineWebber Emerging Markets Equity Fund Global Equity Fund Global Income
Fund

o First, Class B shares owned through reinvested dividends and capital gain
distributions; and

o Second, Class B shares held in the portfolio the longest.

WAIVERS OF THE CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE

The contingent deferred sales charge will not apply to:

o sales of shares under the Fund's 'Systematic Withdrawal Plan' (investors may
not withdraw annually more than 12% of the value of the Fund account under the
Plan);

o a distribution from an IRA, a self-employed individual retirement plan ('Keogh
Plan') or a custodial account under Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue
Code (after the investor reaches age 59 1/2);

o a tax-free return of an excess IRA contribution;

o a tax-qualified retirement plan distribution following retirement; or

o Class B shares sold within one year of an investor's death if the investor
owned the shares at the time of death either as the sole shareholder or with
his or her spouse as a joint tenant with the right of survivorship.

An investor must provide satisfactory information to PaineWebber or the Fund if
the investor seeks any of these waivers.

CLASS C SHARES

HOW PRICE IS CALCULATED: The price of Class C shares is the net asset value
next calculated after PaineWebber's New York City headquarters or the Transfer
Agent receives the purchase order. Investors do not pay an initial sales charge
when they buy Class C shares, but the ongoing expenses of Class C shares are
higher than those of Class A shares. Class C shares never convert to any other
class of shares.

A contingent deferred sales charge of 1% (0.75% in the case of Global Income
Fund) of the offering price or the net asset value of the shares at the time of
sale, whichever is less, is charged on sales of shares made within one year of
the purchase date. (The offering price is the net asset value per share at
purchase; therefore, the contingent deferred sales charge when expressed as a
percentage of each is identical. However, if the net asset value per share at
redemption is lower than at purchase, any applicable contingent deferred sales
charge when expressed as a percentage of the offering price would be a lower
percentage.) Other PaineWebber mutual funds may impose a different contingent
deferred sales charge on Class C shares sold within one year of the purchase
date. A sale of Class C shares acquired through an exchange and held less than
one year will be subject to the same contingent deferred sales charge that would
have been imposed on the Class C shares of the PaineWebber mutual fund
originally purchased. Class C shares representing reinvestment of any dividends
or capital gain distributions will not be subject to the 1% charge. Withdrawals
under the Systematic Withdrawal Plan also will not be subject to this charge.
However, investors may not withdraw more than 12% of the value of the Fund
account under the Plan in the first year after purchase. This charge does not
apply to Class C shares bought before November 10, 1995.

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

HOW TO BUY SHARES

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

Prices are calculated for the Fund's Class A, Class B and Class C shares once
each Business Day, at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock
Exchange (currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). A 'Business Day' is any day,
Monday through Friday, on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for
business. Shares are purchased at the next share price calculated after the
purchase order is received.

The Funds and Mitchell Hutchins reserve the right to reject any purchase order
and to suspend the offering of Fund shares for a period of time.

When placing an order to buy shares, investors should specify which class of
shares they want to buy. If investors fail to specify the class, they will
automatically receive Class A shares, which include an initial sales charge.

PAINEWEBBER CLIENTS

Investors who are PaineWebber clients may buy shares through PaineWebber
investment executives or its correspondent firms. Investors may buy shares in
person, by mail, by telephone or by wire (the minimum wire purchase is $1
million). PaineWebber investment executives and correspondent firms are
responsible for promptly sending investors' purchase orders to PaineWebber's New
York City headquarters.

Investors may pay for their purchases with checks drawn on U.S. banks or with
funds they have in their brokerage accounts at PaineWebber or its correspondent
firms. Payment is due on the third Business Day after PaineWebber's New York
City headquarters office receives the purchase order.

OTHER INVESTORS

Investors who are not PaineWebber clients may purchase Fund shares and set up an
account through the Transfer Agent by completing an account application which
may be obtained by calling 1-800-647-1568. The application and check must be
mailed to PFPC Inc., Attn: PaineWebber Mutual Funds, P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington,
DE 19899.

Investors who already have money invested in a PaineWebber mutual fund, and want
to invest in another PaineWebber mutual fund, can:

o mail an application with a check; or

o open an account by exchanging from another PaineWebber mutual fund.

Investors do not have to send an application when making additional investments
in the Fund.

MINIMUM INVESTMENTS

<TABLE>
<S> <C>
To open an account................. $1,000
To add to an account............... $ 100
</TABLE>

A Fund may waive or reduce these minimums for:

o employees of PaineWebber or its affiliates; or

o participants in certain pension plans, retirement accounts or the Fund's
automatic investment plan.

HOW TO EXCHANGE SHARES

As shareholders, investors have the privilege of exchanging Fund shares for the
same class of other PaineWebber mutual fund shares. In classes of shares where
no initial sales charge is imposed, a contingent deferred sales charge may apply
if the investor sells the shares acquired through the exchange. Exchanges may be
subject to minimum investment requirements of the fund into which exchanges are
made. With respect to Global Income Fund, a $5 fee is imposed on each exchange.
Shares of other PaineWebber mutual funds acquired through the exchange privilege
may be subject to a similar fee on subsequent exchanges.

o Investors who purchased their shares through an investment executive at
PaineWebber or one of its correspondent firms may exchange their shares by
contacting their investment executive in person or by telephone, mail or wire.

o Investors who do not have an account with an investment executive at
PaineWebber or one of its correspondent firms may exchange their shares by
writing a 'letter of instruction' to the Transfer Agent. The letter of
instruction must include:

o the investor's name and address;

o the Fund's name;

o the Fund account number;

o the dollar amount or number of shares to be sold; and

o a guarantee of each registered owner's signature by an eligible institution,
such as a commercial bank, trust company or stock exchange member.

The letter must be mailed to PFPC Inc., Attn: PaineWebber Mutual Funds, P.O. Box
8950, Wilmington, DE 19899.

No contingent deferred sales charge is imposed when shares are exchanged for the
corresponding class of shares of other PaineWebber mutual funds. A Fund will use
the purchase date of the initial investment to determine any contingent deferred
sales charge due when the acquired shares are sold. Fund shares may be exchanged
only after the settlement date has passed and payment for the shares has been
made. The exchange privilege is available only in those jurisdictions where the
sale of the fund shares to be acquired is authorized. This exchange privilege
may be modified or terminated at any time and, when required by SEC rules, upon
60 days' notice. See the back cover of this prospectus for a listing of other
PaineWebber mutual funds.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO SELL SHARES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investors can sell (redeem) shares at any time. Shares will be sold at the share
price for that class as next calculated after the order is received and accepted
(less any applicable contingent deferred sales charge). Share prices are
normally calculated at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock
Exchange (currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern time).

Investors who own more than one class of shares should specify which class they
are selling. If they do not, the Fund will assume they are first selling their
Class A shares, then Class C, and last, Class B.

If a shareholder wants to sell shares which were purchased recently, the Fund
may delay payment until it verifies that good payment was received. In the case
of purchases by check, this can take up to 15 days.

Investors who have an account with PaineWebber or one of PaineWebber's
correspondent firms can sell their shares by contacting their investment
executive. Investors who do not have an account and have bought their shares
through PFPC Inc., the Fund's Transfer Agent, may sell shares by writing a
'letter of instruction,' as detailed in 'How to Exchange Shares.'

Because the Funds incur certain fixed costs in maintaining shareholder accounts,
each Fund reserves the right to purchase back all Fund shares in any shareholder
account with a net asset value of less than $500. If the Fund elects to do so,
it will notify the shareholder of the opportunity to increase the amount
invested to $500 or more within 60 days of the notice. The Fund will not
purchase back accounts that fall below $500 solely due to a reduction in net
asset value per share.

REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE

Shareholders who sell their Class A shares may reinstate their Fund account
without a sales charge up to the dollar amount sold by purchasing the Fund's
Class A shares within 365 days after the sale. To take advantage of this
reinstatement privilege, shareholders must notify their investment executive at
PaineWebber or one of its correspondent firms at the time of purchase.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER SERVICES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investors should consult their investment executive at PaineWebber or one of its
correspondent firms to learn more about the following services:

AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN

Investing on a regular basis helps investors meet their financial goals.
PaineWebber offers an Automatic Investment Plan with a minimum initial

investment of $1,000 through which a Fund will deduct $50 or more each month
from the investor's bank account to invest directly in the Fund. In addition to
providing a convenient and disciplined manner of investing, participation in the
Automatic Investment Plan enables the investor to use the technique of 'dollar
cost averaging.'

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN

The Systematic Withdrawal Plan allows investors to set up monthly, quarterly
(March, June, September and December) or semi-annual (June and December)
withdrawals from their PaineWebber Mutual Fund accounts. Minimum balances and
withdrawals vary according to the class of shares:

o CLASS A AND CLASS C SHARES. Minimum value of Fund shares is $5,000; minimum
withdrawals of $100.

o CLASS B SHARES. Minimum value of Fund shares is $20,000; minimum monthly,
quarterly and
semi-annual withdrawals of $200, $400 and $600, respectively.

Withdrawals under the Systematic Withdrawal Plan will not be subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge. Investors may not withdraw annually more than
12% of the value of the Fund account when

--------------------
Prospectus Page 29

Fund

the investor signed up for the Plan. Shareholders who elect to receive dividends
or other distributions in cash may not participate in the Plan.

INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS

Self-Directed IRAs are available through PaineWebber in which purchases of
PaineWebber mutual funds and other investments may be made. Investors
considering establishing an IRA should review applicable tax laws and should
consult their tax advisers.

TRANSFER OF ACCOUNTS

If investors holding shares of a Fund in a PaineWebber brokerage account
transfer their
brokerage accounts to another firm, the Fund shares will be moved to an account
with the Transfer Agent. However, if the other firm has entered into a selected
dealer agreement with Mitchell Hutchins relating to the Fund, the shareholder
may be able to hold Fund shares in an account with the other firm.

Agtmael is deemed to have a controlling interest in Emerging Markets Management.

GE Investment Management, the investment sub-adviser to Global Equity Fund, is
located at 3003 Summer Street, Stamford, Connecticut 06905 and is a subsidiary
of General Electric Company. Together with its affiliate, General Electric
Investment Corporation (GE Investment Management and General Electric Investment
Corporation are collectively referred to as 'GE Investments'), GE Investment
Management is one of the largest independent investment managers in the United
States. GE Investments and its predecessors have been managing mutual fund
assets since 1935 and, as of September 30, 1996, had in excess of $56 billion in
total assets under management.

MANAGEMENT FEES & OTHER EXPENSES

Each Fund pays Mitchell Hutchins a monthly fee for its services. For the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1996, Emerging Markets Equity Fund paid advisory fees to
Mitchell Hutchins at the annual rate of 1.62% of its average daily net assets.
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996, Global Equity Fund paid advisory fees
to Mitchell Hutchins at the annual rate of 0.85% of its average daily net
assets. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1995, Global Income Fund paid
advisory fees to Mitchell Hutchins at the effective annual rate of 0.73% of its
average daily net assets.

Global Equity Fund, Mitchell Hutchins (not the Fund) pays GE Investment
Management a fee for investment sub-advisory services at the annual rate of
0.31% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Global Income Fund pays PaineWebber an annual fee of $4.00 per active
shareholder account held at PaineWebber for services not provided by the
Transfer Agent.

DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS

Mitchell Hutchins is the distributor of each Fund's shares and has appointed
PaineWebber as the exclusive dealer for the sale of those shares. Under
distribution plans for Class A, Class B and Class C shares ('Class A Plan,'
'Class B Plan' and 'Class C Plan,' collectively, 'Plans'), each Fund pays
Mitchell Hutchins:

o Monthly service fees at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net
assets of each class of shares.

--------------------
Prospectus Page 31
<PAGE>
------------------------------

PaineWebber Emerging Markets Equity Fund Global Equity Fund Global Income
Fund

o Monthly distribution fees at the annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net
assets of Class B and Class C shares (0.50% for Class C shares of Global
Income Fund).

Under the Plans, Mitchell Hutchins primarily uses the service fees to pay
PaineWebber for shareholder servicing, currently at the annual rate of 0.25% of
the aggregate investment amounts maintained in each Fund by PaineWebber clients.
PaineWebber then compensates its investment executives for shareholder servicing
that they perform and offsets its own expenses in servicing and maintaining
shareholder accounts.

Mitchell Hutchins uses the distribution fees under the Class B and Class C Plans
to:

o Offset the commissions it pays to PaineWebber for selling each Fund's Class B
and Class C shares, respectively.

o Offset each Fund's marketing costs attributable to such classes, such as
preparation, printing and distribution of sales literature, advertising and
prospectuses to prospective investors and related overhead expenses, such as
employee salaries and bonuses.

PaineWebber compensates investment executives when Class B and Class C shares
are sold, as well as on an ongoing basis. Mitchell Hutchins receives no special
compensation from any of the Funds or investors at the time of sale of Class B
or C shares.

Mitchell Hutchins receives the proceeds of the initial sales charge paid when
Class A shares are bought and of the contingent deferred sales charge paid upon
sales of shares. These proceeds may be used to cover distribution expenses.

The Plans and the related distribution contracts for each class of shares
('Distribution Contracts') specify that each Fund must pay service and
distribution fees to Mitchell Hutchins for its activities, not as reimbursement
for specific expenses incurred. Therefore, even if Mitchell Hutchins' expenses
exceed the service or distribution fees it receives, the Funds will not be
obligated to pay more than those fees. On the other hand, if Mitchell Hutchins'
expenses are less than such fees, it will retain its full fees and realize a
profit. Expenses in excess of service and distribution fees received or accrued
through the termination date of any Plan will be Mitchell Hutchins's sole
responsibility and not that of the Funds. Annually, the board of each Fund
reviews the Plans and Mitchell Hutchins' corresponding expenses for each class
separately from the Plans and expenses of the other classes.

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

DETERMINING THE SHARES'
NET ASSET VALUE

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

The net asset value of each Fund's shares fluctuates and is determined
separately for each class as of the close of regular trading on the New York
Stock Exchange (currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) each Business Day. Each
Fund's net asset value per share is determined by dividing the value of the
securities held by the Fund, plus any cash or other assets, minus all
liabilities, by the total number of Fund shares outstanding.

Each Fund values its assets based on their current market value when market
quotations are readily available. If that value is not readily available, assets
are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction
of each Fund's board. The amortized cost method of valuation generally is used
to value debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining to maturity, unless the
board determines that this does not represent fair value. Investments
denominated in foreign currencies are valued daily in U.S. dollars based on the
then-prevailing exchange rates. It should be recognized that judgment plays a
greater role in valuing lower rated debt securities in which a Fund may invest,
because there is less reliable, objective data available.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIVIDENDS & TAXES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIVIDENDS

Emerging Markets Equity Fund and Global Equity Fund each pays an annual dividend
from its net investment income and net short-term capital gain, if any. Each of
these Funds distributes any net realized gain from foreign currency transactions
with its dividend. Global Income Fund declares monthly dividends from its net
investment income, which may be accompanied by distributions of net realized
short-term capital gains and net realized gains from foreign currency
transactions. Each Fund also distributes annually substantially all of its net
capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term
capital loss), if any, which distribution in the case of Global Income Fund, is
accompanied by any undistributed net realized short-term capital gains and
foreign currency gains. The Funds may make additional distributions, if
necessary, to avoid a 4% excise tax on certain undistributed income and capital
gain.

Dividends and other distributions paid on each class of shares of each Fund are
calculated at the same time and in the same manner. Dividends on Class B and
Class C shares of the Funds are expected to be lower than those on their Class A
shares because Class B and Class C shares have higher expenses resulting from
their distribution fees. Dividends on each class might be affected differently
by the allocation of other class-specific expenses. See 'General Information.'

The Funds' dividends and other distributions are paid in additional Fund shares
of the same class at net asset value, unless the shareholder has requested cash
payments. Shareholders who wish to receive dividends and other distributions in
cash, either mailed to the shareholder by check or credited to the shareholder's

PaineWebber account, should contact their investment executive at PaineWebber or
one of its correspondent firms or complete the appropriate section of the
account application.

TAXES

Each Fund intends to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment
company under the Internal Revenue Code so that it will not have to pay Federal
income tax on the part of its investment company taxable income (generally
consisting of net investment income, net short-term capital gain and net gains
from certain foreign currency transactions) and the net capital gain that it
distributes to its shareholders.

Dividends from each Fund's investment company taxable income (whether paid in
cash or additional shares) are generally taxable to shareholders as ordinary
income. Distributions of each Fund's net capital gain (whether paid in cash or
additional shares) are taxable to shareholders as a long-term capital gain,
regardless of how long they have held their Fund shares. Shareholders who are
not subject to tax on their income generally will not be required to pay tax on
distributions.

YEAR-END TAX REPORTING

Following the end of each calendar year, each Fund notifies its shareholders of
the dividends and capital gain distributions paid (or deemed paid) for that
year, their share of any foreign taxes paid by the Fund that year and any
portion of those dividends that qualify for special treatment.

WITHHOLDING REQUIREMENTS

Each Fund is required to withhold 31% of all dividends, capital gain
distributions and redemption proceeds payable to individuals and certain other
non-corporate shareholders who do not provide the Fund with a correct taxpayer
identification number. Withholding at that rate also is required from dividends
and capital gain distributions payable to shareholders who otherwise are subject
to backup withholding.

TAXES ON THE SALE OR EXCHANGE OF FUND SHARES

When shareholders sell (redeem) shares, it may result in a taxable gain or loss.
This depends upon whether the shareholders receive more or less than their
adjusted basis for the shares (which normally takes into account any initial
sales charge paid on Class A shares). An exchange of any Fund's shares for
shares of another PaineWebber mutual fund generally will have similar tax
consequences. In addition, if a Fund's shares are bought within 30 days before
or after selling other shares of the Fund (regardless of class) at a loss, all
or a portion

--------------------
Prospectus Page 33

<PAGE>
------------------------------

PaineWebber Emerging Markets Equity Fund Global Equity Fund Global Income
Fund

of that loss will not be deductible and will increase the basis of the newly
purchased shares.

SPECIAL TAX RULES FOR CLASS A SHAREHOLDERS

Special tax rules apply when a shareholder sells or exchanges Class A shares
within 90 days of purchase, and subsequently acquires Class A shares of a
PaineWebber mutual fund without paying a sales charge due to the 365-day
reinstatement privilege or the exchange privilege. In these cases, any gain on
the sale or exchange of the original Class A shares would be increased, or any
loss would be decreased, by the amount of the sales charge paid when those
shares were bought, and that amount will increase the basis of the PaineWebber
mutual fund shares subsequently acquired.

No gain or loss will be recognized to a shareholder as a result of conversion of
Class B shares into Class A shares.

* * * *

Because the foregoing only summarizes some of the important tax considerations
affecting the Funds and their shareholders, the Statement of
AdditionalInformation contains more detail. There may be other Federal, state,
local or foreign tax considerations applicable to a particular investor.
Accordingly, prospective shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisers.

ORGANIZATION

EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND

Emerging Markets Equity Fund is a diversified series of PaineWebber Investment
Trust II, an open-end management investment company that was formed on August
10, 1992, as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. The trustees have authority to issue an unlimited number of
shares of beneficial interest of separate series, par value of $0.001 per share.

GLOBAL EQUITY FUND

Global Equity Fund is a diversified series of PaineWebber Investment Trust
('Investment Trust'), an open-end management investment company that was formed
on March 28, 1991, as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. The trustees have authority to issue an unlimited number of
shares of beneficial interest of separate series, par value of $0.001 per share.
Shares of one other series have been authorized.

GLOBAL INCOME FUND

Global Income Fund is a non-diversified series of PaineWebber Investment Series,
an open-end management investment company that was formed on December 22, 1986,
as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The
trustees have authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial
interest of separate series, with a par value of $0.001 per share.

The shares of each Fund are divided into four classes, designated Class A, Class
B, Class C and Class Y shares. Each class represents an identical interest in
the respective Fund's investment portfolio and has the same rights, privileges
and preferences. However, each class may differ with respect to sales charges,
if any, distribution and/or service fees, if any, other expenses allocable
exclusively to each class, voting rights on matters exclusively affecting that
class, and its exchange privilege. The different sales charges and other
expenses applicable to the different classes of shares of the Funds will affect
the performance of those classes.

Each share of each Fund is entitled to participate equally in dividends, other
distributions and the proceeds of any liquidation of that Fund. However, due to
the differing expenses of the classes, dividends on Class B and Class C shares
are likely to be lower than for Class A shares, and dividends on Class A, Class
B and Class C shares are likely to be lower than for Class Y shares, which bear
the lowest expenses.

Class Y shares, which are offered only to limited groups of investors, are
subject to neither an initial or contingent deferred sales charge nor ongoing
service or distribution fees. More information concerning Class Y shares may be
obtained from an

investment executive at PaineWebber or one of its correspondent firms or by
calling toll-free 1-800-647-1568.

Although each Fund is offering only its own shares, it is possible that a Fund
might become liable for a misstatement in the Prospectus about another Fund. The
board of each Fund has considered this factor in approving the use of a single,
combined Prospectus.

VOTING RIGHTS

Shareholders of each Fund are entitled to one vote for each full share held
and fractional votes for fractional shares held. Voting rights are not
cumulative and, as a result, the holders of more than 50% of all the shares of
any Fund (or Investment Trust, which has more than one series) may elect all
of the board members of that Fund or of Investment Trust. The shares of a Fund
will be voted together except that only the shareholders of a particular class
of a Fund may vote on matters affecting only that class, such as the terms of
a Plan as it relates to the class. The shares of all series of Investment
Trust will be voted separately, except when an aggregate vote of all the
securities is required by law.

SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS

The Funds do not intend to hold annual meetings.

Shareholders of record of no less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of
Investment Trust or a Fund, as applicable, may remove a board member through a
declaration in writing or by vote cast in person or by proxy at a meeting
called for that purpose. A meeting will be called to vote on the removal of a
board member at the written request of holders of 10% of the outstanding
shares of Investment Trust or a Fund, as applicable.

REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Each Fund sends its shareholders audited annual and unaudited semi-annual
reports, each of which includes a list of the investment securities held by the
Fund as of the end of the period covered by the report. The Statement of
Additional Information is available to shareholders upon request.

CUSTODIAN & RECORDKEEPING AGENT; TRANSFER & DIVIDEND AGENT

State Street Bank and Trust Company, located at One Heritage Drive, North

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The three funds named above (each a 'Fund' and, collectively, 'Funds') are
series of professionally managed open-end management investment companies
organized as Massachusetts business trusts (each a 'Trust' and, collectively,
'Trusts'). PaineWebber Emerging Markets Equity Fund ('Emerging Markets Equity
Fund'), a diversified series of PaineWebber Investment Trust II ('Investment
Trust II'), seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in
equity securities of companies in newly industrializing countries. PaineWebber
Global Equity Fund ('Global Equity Fund'), a diversified series of PaineWebber
Investment Trust ('Investment Trust'), seeks long-term growth of capital by
investing primarily in U.S. and foreign equity securities. PaineWebber Global
Income Fund ('Global Income Fund'), a non-diversified series of PaineWebber
Investment Series ('Investment Series'), seeks high current income and,
secondarily, capital appreciation by investing primarily in high quality foreign
and U.S. bonds.

The investment adviser, administrator and distributor for each Fund is
Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ('Mitchell Hutchins'), a wholly owned
subsidiary of PaineWebber Incorporated ('PaineWebber'). As distributor for the
Funds, Mitchell Hutchins has appointed PaineWebber to serve as the exclusive
dealer for the sale of Fund shares. Emerging Markets Management and GE
Investment Management Incorporated ('GE Investment Management') (each a
'Sub-Adviser') serve as investment sub-advisers, respectively, for Emerging
Markets Equity Fund and Global Equity Fund.

This Statement of Additional Information is not a prospectus and should be
read only in conjunction with the Funds' current Prospectus, dated October 31,
1996. A copy of the Prospectus may be obtained by calling any PaineWebber
investment executive or correspondent firm or by calling toll-free
1-800-647-1568. This Statement of Additional Information is dated October 31,
1996.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS

The following supplements the information contained in the Prospectus
concerning the Funds' investment policies and limitations.

YIELD FACTORS AND RATINGS. Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ('Moody's'),
Standard & Poor's, a division of The McGraw Hill Companies ('S&P'), and other
nationally recognized statistical rating organizations ('NRSROs') are private
services that provide ratings of the credit quality of debt obligations. A
description of the ratings assigned to corporate debt obligations by Moody's and

S&P is included in the Appendix to this Statement of Additional Information. The
Funds may use these ratings in determining whether to purchase, sell or hold a
security. It should be emphasized, however, that ratings are general and are not
absolute standards of quality. Consequently, securities with the same maturity,
interest rate and rating may have different market prices.

Global Income Fund is authorized to invest up to 20% of its net assets in
non-investment grade debt securities--that is, debt securities that are not
rated at the time of purchase within one of the four highest grades assigned by
S&P or Moody's, comparably rated by another NRSRO or determined by Mitchell
Hutchins to be of comparable quality. Lower rated debt securities generally
offer a higher current yield than that available for investment grade issues;
however, they involve higher risks in that they are especially subject to
adverse changes in general economic conditions and in the industries in which
the issuers are engaged, to changes in the financial condition of the issuers
and to price fluctuations in response to changes in interest rates. During
periods of economic downturn or rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers
may experience financial stress which could adversely affect their ability to
make payments of interest and principal and increase the possibility of default.
In addition, such issuers may not have more traditional methods of financing
available to them and may be unable to repay debt at maturity by refinancing.
The risk of loss due to default

<PAGE>
by such issuers is significantly greater because such securities frequently are
unsecured and subordinated to the prior payment of senior indebtedness.

The market for lower rated debt securities has expanded rapidly in recent
years, and its growth generally paralleled a long economic expansion. In the
past, the prices of many lower rated debt securities declined substantially,
reflecting an expectation that many issuers of such securities might experience
financial difficulties. As a result, the yields on lower rated debt securities
rose dramatically. However, such higher yields did not reflect the value of the
income stream that holders of such securities expected, but rather the risk that
holders of such securities could lose a substantial portion of their value as a
result of the issuers' financial restructurings or defaults. There can be no
assurance that such declines will not recur. The market for lower-rated debt
issues generally is thinner and less active than that for higher quality
securities, which may limit the Fund's ability to sell such securities at fair
value in response to changes in the economy or financial markets. Adverse
publicity and investor perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental
analysis, may also decrease the values and liquidity of lower rated securities,
especially in a thinly traded market.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO FOREIGN SECURITIES. Investments in foreign
securities involve risks relating to political, social and economic developments
abroad, as well as risks resulting from the differences between the regulations
to which U.S. and foreign issuers and markets are subject. These risks may
include expropriation, confiscatory taxation, withholding taxes on interest
and/or dividends, limitations on the use of or transfer of Fund assets and

political or social instability or diplomatic developments. Moreover, individual
foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in
such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital
reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position.
Securities of many foreign companies may be less liquid and their prices more
volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. While the Funds generally
invest only in securities that are traded on recognized exchanges or in
over-the-counter markets, from time to time foreign securities may be difficult
to liquidate rapidly without significantly depressing the price of such
securities. There may be less publicly available information concerning foreign
issuers of securities held by the Funds than is available concerning U.S.
companies. Transactions in foreign securities may be subject to less efficient
settlement practices. Foreign securities trading practices, including those
involving securities settlement where Fund assets may be released prior to
receipt of payment, may expose the Funds to increased risk in the event of a
failed trade or the insolvency of a foreign broker-dealer. Legal remedies for
defaults and disputes may have to be pursued in foreign courts, whose procedures
differ substantially from those of U.S. courts.

To the extent that the Funds hold securities of foreign issuers, these
securities may not be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
('SEC'), nor may the issuers thereof be subject to its reporting requirements.
Accordingly, there may be less publicly available information concerning foreign
issuers of securities held by the Funds than is available concerning U.S.
companies. Foreign companies are not generally subject to uniform accounting,
auditing and financial reporting standards or to other regulatory requirements
comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies.

The Funds may invest in foreign securities by purchasing American
Depository Receipts ('ADRs') and also may purchase securities of foreign issuers
in foreign markets and purchase European Depository Receipts ('EDRs') or other
securities convertible into securities of issuers based in foreign countries.
These securities may not necessarily be denominated in the same currency as the
securities into which they may be converted. Generally, ADRs, in registered
form, are denominated in U.S. dollars and are designed for use in the U.S.
securities markets, while EDRs, in bearer form, may be denominated in other
currencies and are designed for use in European securities markets. ADRs are
receipts typically issued by a U.S. bank or trust company evidencing ownership
of the underlying securities. EDRs are European receipts evidencing a similar
arrangement. For purposes of each Fund's investment policies, ADRs and EDRs are
deemed to have the same classification as the underlying securities they
represent. Thus, an ADR or EDR representing ownership of common stock will be
treated as common stock.

The Funds anticipate that their brokerage transactions involving foreign
securities of companies headquartered in countries other than the United States
will be conducted primarily on the principal exchanges of such countries.
Transactions on foreign exchanges are usually subject to fixed commissions that
are generally higher than negotiated commissions on U.S. transactions, although
each Fund will endeavor to

2
<PAGE>

achieve the best net results in effecting its portfolio transactions. There is
generally less government supervision and regulation of exchanges and brokers in
foreign countries than in the United States.

In certain countries that currently prohibit direct foreign investment in
the securities of their companies, indirect foreign investment in the securities
of companies listed and traded on the stock exchanges in these countries is
permitted through investment funds that have been specifically authorized to
invest directly in the relevant market. The Funds may invest in these investment
funds and registered investment companies subject to the provisions of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ('1940 Act'). If a Fund invests in an investment
fund, the Fund may bear its proportionate share of the costs incurred by such
investment fund, including investment advisory fees, if any.

Investment income on certain foreign securities in which the Funds may
invest may be subject to foreign withholding or other taxes that could reduce
the return on these securities. Tax treaties between the United States and
foreign countries, however, may reduce or eliminate the amount of foreign taxes
to which the Funds would be subject.

FOREIGN SOVEREIGN DEBT. Investment by the Funds in debt securities issued
by foreign governments and their political subdivisions or agencies ('Sovereign
Debt') involves special risks. The issuer of the debt or the governmental
authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to
repay principal and/or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such
debt, and the Funds may have limited legal recourse in the event of a default.

Sovereign Debt differs from debt obligations issued by private entities in
that, generally, remedies for defaults must be pursued in the courts of the
defaulting party. Legal recourse is therefore somewhat diminished. Political
conditions, especially a sovereign entity's willingness to meet the terms of its
debt obligations, are of considerable significance. Also, there can be no
assurance that the holders of commercial bank debt issued by the same sovereign
entity may not contest payments to the holders of Sovereign Debt in the event of
default under commercial bank loan agreements.

A sovereign debtor's willingness or ability to repay principal and interest
due in a timely manner may be affected by, among other factors, its cash flow
situation, the extent of its foreign reserves, the availability of sufficient
foreign exchange on the date a payment is due, the relative size of the debt
service burden to the economy as a whole, the sovereign debtor's policy toward
principal international lenders and the political constraints to which a
sovereign debtor may be subject. Increased protectionism on the part of a
country's trading partners, or political changes in those countries, could also
adversely affect its exports. Such events could diminish a country's trade
account surplus, if any, or the credit standing of a particular local government
or agency.

their Sovereign Debt. While Mitchell Hutchins and the Sub-Advisers manage the
Funds' portfolios in a manner that is intended to minimize the exposure to such
risks, there can be no assurance that adverse political changes will not cause
the Funds to suffer a loss of interest or principal on any of its holdings.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS. Although the Funds value their assets daily
in U.S. dollars, they do not intend to convert their holdings of foreign
currencies to U.S. dollars on a daily basis. The Funds' foreign currencies
generally will be held as 'foreign currency call accounts' at foreign branches
of foreign or domestic banks. These accounts bear interest at negotiated rates
and are payable upon relatively short demand periods. If a bank became
insolvent, the Funds could suffer a loss of some or all of the amounts
deposited. The Funds may convert foreign currency to U.S. dollars from time to
time. Although foreign exchange dealers generally do not charge a stated
commission or fee for conversion, the prices posted generally include a
'spread,' which is the difference between the prices at which the dealers are
buying and selling foreign currencies.

U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. The Funds may invest in various direct
obligations of the United States Treasury and obligations issued or guaranteed
by the United States government or one of it agencies or instrumentalities
(collectively, 'U.S. government securities'). Among the U.S. government
securities that may be held by the Funds are instruments that are supported by
the full faith and credit of the United States;

3
<PAGE>
instruments that are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the
United States Treasury; and instruments that are supported solely by the credit
of the instrumentality.

The U.S. government securities in which Global Income Fund may invest
include mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by the Government
National Mortgage Association, the Federal National Mortgage Association or the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, which represent undivided ownership
interests in pools of mortgages. The mortgages backing these securities include
both fixed and adjustable rate mortgages. The U.S. government or the issuing
agency guarantees the payment of the interest on and principal of these
securities. The guarantees do not extend to the securities' market value,
however, which is likely to vary inversely with fluctuations in interst rates,
and the guarantees do not extend to the yield or value of the Fund's shares.
These securities are 'pass-through' instruments through which the holders
receive a share of the interest and principal payments from the mortgages
underlying the securities, net of certain fees. The principal amounts of such
underlying mortgages generally may be prepaid in whole or in part by the
mortgagees at any time without penalty, and the prepayment characteristics of
the underlying mortgages may vary. During periods of declining interest rates,
prepayment of mortgages underlying mortgage-backed securities can be expected to
accelerate. The Fund will reinvest prepaid amounts in other income producing

securities, the yields of which will reflect interest rates prevailing at the
time. Accelerated prepayments adversely affect yields for mortgage-backed
securities purchased by the Fund at a premium and may involve additional risk of
loss of principal because the premium may not have been fully amortized at the
time the obligation is prepaid. The opposite is true for mortgage-backed
securities purchased by the Fund at a discount.

Emerging Markets Equity Fund may invest in exchange rate-related U.S.
government securities. Such securities are indexed to certain specific foreign
currency exchange rates and generally provide that the interest rate and/or
principal amount will be adjusted upwards or downwards (but not below zero) to
reflect changes in the exchange rate between two currencies while the
obligations are outstanding. While such securities offer the potential for an
attractive rate of return, they also entail the risk of loss of principal.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON GLOBAL EQUITY FUND'S INVESTMENTS. Global Equity
Fund may invest in the following types of money market instruments in addition
to the U.S. government securities noted above: obligations issued or guaranteed
by foreign governments or by any of their political subdivisions, authorities,
agencies or instrumentalities that are rated AAA or AA by S&P, Aaa or Aa by
Moody's, or that have received an equivalent rating from another NRSRO, or if
unrated, deemed by GE Investment Management to be of equivalent quality; bank
obligations (including certificates of deposit, time deposits and bankers'
acceptances of foreign or domestic banks, domestic savings and loan associations
and other banking institutions having total assets in excess of $500 million);
commercial paper rated no lower than A-1 by S&P or Prime-1 by Moody's, or the
equivalent from another NRSRO, or, if unrated, of an issuer having an
outstanding unsecured debt issue then rated within the three highest rating
categories; and repurchase agreements meeting the conditions described below
under 'Repurchase Agreements.' At no time will Global Equity Fund's investments
in bank obligations, including time deposits, exceed 25% of the value of its
assets.

Global Equity Fund is authorized to invest in obligations of foreign banks
or foreign branches of domestic banks that are traded in the United States or
outside the United States, but that are denominated in U.S. dollars. These
obligations entail risks that are different from those of investments in
obligations of domestic banks, including foreign economic and political
developments outside the United States, foreign governmental restrictions that
may adversely affect payment of principal and interest on the obligations,
foreign exchange controls and foreign withholding or other taxes on income.
Foreign branches of domestic banks are not necessarily subject to the same or
similar regulatory requirements that apply to foreign banks, such as mandatory
reserve requirements, loan limitations and accounting, auditing and financial
recordkeeping requirements. In addition, less information may be publicly
available about a foreign branch of a domestic bank than about a domestic bank.

ILLIQUID SECURITIES. Global Equity Fund and Global Income Fund each may
invest up to 10% of its net assets, and Emerging Markets Equity Fund up to 15%
of its net assets, in illiquid securities. The term 'illiquid securities' for
this purpose means securities that cannot be disposed of within seven days in
the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which a Fund has
valued the securities and includes, among

4
<PAGE>
other things, purchased over-the-counter ('OTC') options, repurchase agreements
maturing in more than seven days and restricted securities other than those
Mitchell Hutchins or a Sub-Adviser, as applicable, have determined are liquid
pursuant to guidelines established by each Fund's board of trustees (each
sometimes referred to as a 'board'). The assets used as cover for OTC options
written by the Funds will be considered illiquid unless the OTC options are sold
to qualified dealers who agree that the Funds may repurchase any OTC option it
writes at a maximum price to be calculated by a formula set forth in the option
agreement. The cover for an OTC option written subject to this procedure would
be considered illiquid only to the extent that the maximum repurchase price
under the formula exceeds the intrinsic value of the option.

Illiquid restricted securities may be sold only in privately negotiated
transactions or in public offerings with respect to which a registration
statement is in effect under the Securities Act of 1933 ('1933 Act'). However,
to the extent that securities are freely tradeable in the country in which they
are principally traded, they are not considered illiquid securities for purposes
of the Funds' respective percentage limitation, even if they are not freely
tradeable in the United States. Where registration is required, a Fund may be
obligated to pay all or part of the registration expenses and a considerable
period may elapse between the time of the decision to sell and the time a Fund
may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement.
If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, a Fund
might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to sell.

Not all restricted securities are illiquid. In recent years a large
institutional market has developed for certain securities that are not
registered under the 1933 Act, including private placements, repurchase
agreements, commercial paper, foreign securities and corporate bonds and notes.
These instruments are often restricted securities because the securities are
sold in transactions not requiring registration. Institutional investors
generally will not seek to sell these instruments to the general public, but
instead will often depend either on an efficient institutional market in which
such unregistered securities can be readily resold or on an issuer's ability to
honor a demand for repayment. Therefore, the fact that there are contractual or
legal restrictions on resale to the general public or certain institutions is
not dispositive of the liquidity of such investments.

satisfy share redemption orders. Such markets include automated systems for the
trading, clearance and settlement of unregistered securities of domestic and
foreign issuers, such as the PORTAL System sponsored by the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. An insufficient number of qualified institutional
buyers interested in purchasing Rule 144A-eligible restricted securities held by
a Fund, however, could affect adversely the marketability of such portfolio
securities and the Fund might be unable to dispose of such securities promptly
or at favorable prices.

Each board has delegated the function of making day-to-day determinations
of liquidity to Mitchell Hutchins or a Sub-Adviser, as applicable, pursuant to
guidelines approved by the board. Mitchell Hutchins or the Sub-Adviser takes
into account a number of factors in reaching liquidity decisions, including (1)
the frequency of trades for the security, (2) the number of dealers that make
quotes for the security, (3) the number of dealers that have undertaken to make
a market in the security, (4) the number of other potential purchasers and (5)
the nature of the security and how trading is effected (e.g., the time needed to
sell the security, how offers are solicited and the mechanics of transfer).
Mitchell Hutchins or a Sub-Adviser monitors the liquidity of restricted
securities in each Fund's portfolio and reports periodically on such decisions
to the applicable board.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a
Fund purchases securities from a bank or recognized securities dealer and
simultaneously commits to resell the securities to the bank or dealer at an
agreed-upon date or upon demand and at a price reflecting a market rate of
interest unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased securities.
The Fund maintains custody of the underlying securities prior to their
repurchase; thus, the obligation of the bank or dealer to pay the repurchase
price on the date agreed to is, in effect, secured by such securities. If the
value of these securities is less than the repurchase price, plus any
agreed-upon additional amount, the other party to the agreement must provide

5
<PAGE>
additional collateral so that at all times the collateral is at least equal to
the repurchase price, plus any agreed-upon additional amount. The difference
between the total amount to be received upon repurchase of the securities and
the price that was paid by a Fund upon acquisition is accrued as interest and
included in its net investment income. Repurchase agreements carry certain risks
not associated with direct investments in securities, including possible
declines in the market value of the underlying securities and delays and costs
to a Fund if the other party to a repurchase agreement becomes insolvent.

The Funds intend to enter into repurchase agreements only with banks and
dealers in transactions believed by Mitchell Hutchins or a Sub-Adviser to
present minimal credit risks in accordance with guidelines established by each
board. Mitchell Hutchins or the Sub-Adviser reviews and monitors the
creditworthiness of those institutions under each board's general supervision.

sale of securities held by the Fund subject to the Fund's agreement to
repurchase the securities at an agreed-upon date and price reflecting a market
rate of interest. Such agreements are considered to be borrowings and may be
entered into only for temporary or emergency purposes. While a reverse
repurchase agreement is outstanding, the Fund's custodian segregates assets to
cover the Fund's obligations under the reverse repurchase agreement. See
'Investment Policies and Restrictions--Segregated Accounts.'

LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. Each Fund is authorized to lend portfolio
securities up to 33 1/3% of its total assets taken at market value to
broker-dealers or institutional investors that Mitchell Hutchins deems
qualified, but only when the borrower maintains with that Fund's custodian bank
acceptable collateral, marked to market daily, in an amount at least equal to
the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends.
Acceptable collateral is limited to cash, U.S. government securities and
irrevocable letters of credit that meet certain guidelines established by
Mitchell Hutchins. In determining whether to lend securities to a particular
broker-dealer or institutional investor, Mitchell Hutchins will consider, and
during the period of the loan will monitor, all relevant facts and
circumstances, including the creditworthiness of the borrower. Each Fund will
retain authority to terminate any loans at any time. Each Fund may pay
reasonable administrative and custodial fees in connection with a loan and may
pay a negotiated portion of the interest earned on the cash or money market
instruments held as collateral to the borrower or placing broker. Each Fund will
receive reasonable interest on the loan or a flat fee from the borrower and
amounts equivalent to any dividends, interest or other distributions on the
securities loaned. Each Fund will regain record ownership of loaned securities
to exercise beneficial rights, such as voting and subscription rights and rights
to dividends, interest or other distributions, when regaining such rights is
considered to be in the Fund's interest.

SHORT SALES 'AGAINST THE BOX'. Each Fund may engage in short sales of
securities it owns or has the right to acquire at no added cost through
conversion or exchange of other securities it owns (short sales 'against the
box') to defer realization of gains or losses for tax or other purposes. To make
delivery to the purchaser in a short sale, the executing broker borrows the
securities being sold short on behalf of a Fund, and that Fund is obligated to
replace the securities borrowed at a date in the future. When a Fund sells
short, it will establish a margin account with the broker effecting the short
sale, and will deposit collateral with the broker. In addition, the Fund will
maintain with its custodian, in a segregated account, the securities that could
be used to cover the short sale. Each Fund incurs transaction costs, including
interest expense, in connection with opening, maintaining and closing short
sales against the box.

recognition of gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. In such case, any
loss in the Fund's long position after the short sale should be reduced by a
gain in the short position. Conversely, any gain in the long position should be
reduced by a loss in the short position. The extent to which gains or losses in
the long position are reduced will depend upon the amount of the securities sold
short

6
<PAGE>
relative to the amount of the securities a Fund owns, either directly or
indirectly, and in the case where the Fund owns convertible securities, changes
in the investment values or conversion premiums of such securities.

SEGREGATED ACCOUNTS. When a Fund enters into certain transactions to make
future payments to third parties, it will maintain with an approved custodian in
a segregated account cash or liquid securities, marked to market daily, in an
amount at least equal to the Fund's obligation or commitment under such
transactions. As described below under 'Hedging Strategies,' segregated accounts
may also be required in connection with certain transactions involving options,
futures contracts or forward currency contracts (and, for Global Income Fund,
certain interest rate protection transactions).

WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES. As stated in the Prospectus,
each Fund may purchase securities on a 'when-issued' or delayed delivery basis.
A security purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis is recorded as
an asset on the commitment date and is subject to changes in market value,
generally based upon changes in the level of interest rates. Thus, fluctuation
in the value of the security from the time of the commitment date will affect a
Fund's net asset value. When the Fund agrees to purchase securities on a
when-issued or delayed delivery basis, its custodian segregates assets to cover
the amount of the commitment. See 'Investment Policies and
Restrictions--Segregated Accounts.' The Fund purchases when-issued securities
only with the intention of taking delivery, but may sell the right to acquire
the security prior to delivery if Mitchell Hutchins or a Sub-Adviser deems it
advantageous to do so, which may result in a gain or loss to the Fund.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF THE FUNDS

FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS. The following fundamental investment limitations
cannot be changed for a Fund without the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a)
more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund or (b) 67% or more of the
shares present at a shareholders' meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding
shares are represented at the meeting in person or by proxy. If a percentage
restriction is adhered to at the time of an investment or transaction, a later
increase or decrease in percentage resulting from a change in values of
portfolio securities or amount of total assets will not be considered a
violation of any of the foregoing limitations.

Each Fund will not:

(1) purchase any security if, as a result of that purchase, 25% or more of
the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of issuers having their

principal business activities in the same industry, except that this limitation
does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its
agencies or instrumentalities or to municipal securities.

(2) issue senior securities or borrow money, except as permitted under the
1940 Act and then not in excess of 33 1/3% of the Fund's total assets (including
the amount of the senior securities issued but reduced by any liabilities not
constituting senior securities) at the time of the issuance or borrowing, except
that the Fund may borrow up to an additional 5% of its total assets (not
including the amount borrowed) for temporary or emergency purposes.

(3) make loans, except through loans of portfolio securities or through
repurchase agreements, provided that for purposes of this restriction, the
acquisition of bonds, debentures, other debt securities or instruments, or
participations or other interests therein and investments in government
obligations, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances or
similar instruments will not be considered the making of a loan.

(4) engage in the business of underwriting securities of other issuers,
except to the extent that the Fund might be considered an underwriter under the
federal securities laws in connection with its disposition of portfolio
securities.

(5) purchase or sell real estate, except that investments in securities of
issuers that invest in real estate and investments in mortgage-backed
securities, mortgage participations or other instruments supported by interests
in real estate are not subject to this limitation, and except that the Fund may
exercise rights under agreements relating to such securities, including the
right to enforce security interests and to hold real estate acquired by reason
of such enforcement until that real estate can be liquidated in an orderly
manner.

7
<PAGE>
(6) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of
owning securities or other instruments, but the Fund may purchase, sell or enter
into financial options and futures, forward and spot currency contracts, swap
transactions and other financial contracts or derivative instruments.

In addition, Emerging Markets Equity Fund and Global Equity Fund will not:

(7) purchase securities of any one issuer if, as a result, more than 5% of
the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of that issuer or the
Fund would own or hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of
that issuer, except that up to 25% of the Fund's total assets may be invested
without regard to this limitation, and except that this limitation does not
apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies
and instrumentalities or to securities issued by other investment companies.

having the same sponsor, and mortgage- and asset-backed securities issued by a
finance or other special purpose subsidiary that are not guaranteed by the
parent company will be considered to be issued by a separate issuer from the
parent company.

NON-FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS. The following investment restrictions, which
apply to each Fund, are non-fundamental and may be changed by the vote of the
Fund's board without shareholder approval.

Each Fund will not:

(1) purchase or retain the securities of any issuer if the officers and
trustees of the Trust and the officers and directors of Mitchell Hutchins (and,
for Emerging Markets Equity Fund and Global Equity Fund, the applicable
Sub-Adviser) each owning beneficially more than 0.5% of the outstanding
securities of the issuer own in the aggregate more than 5% of the securities of
the issuer.

(2) invest more than 10% of its net assets (15% of net assets for Emerging
Markets Equity Fund) in illiquid securities, a term which means securities that
cannot be disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course of business at
approximately the amount at which the Fund has valued the securities and
includes, among other things, repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven
days.

(3) purchase any security if as a result the Fund would have more than 5%
of its total assets invested in securities of companies that together with any
predecessors have been in continuous operation for less than three years.

(4) make an investment in warrants, valued at the lower of cost or market,
that exceeds 5% of the value of its net assets, which amount may include
warrants that are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange Inc. ('NYSE') or the
American Stock Exchange, Inc., provided that such warrants, valued at the lower
of cost or market, do not exceed 2% of the Fund's net assets, and further
provided that this restriction does not apply to warrants attached to, or sold
as a unit with, other securities. For purposes of this restriction, the term
'warrants' does not include options on debt securities, bond indices, foreign
currencies or futures contracts.

(5) change its investment policies to permit the Fund to invest more than
35% of its total assets in debt securities rated Ba or lower by Moody's or BB or
lower by S&P, comparably rated by another NRSRO or determined by Mitchell
Hutchins (or the Sub-Adviser) to be of comparable quality, without giving at
least 30 days' advance notice to shareholders.

(6) invest in real estate limited partnerships.

(7) purchase portfolio securities while borrowings in excess of 5% of its
total assets are outstanding.

(8) purchase securities on margin, except for short-term credit necessary
for clearance of portfolio transactions and except that the Fund may make margin
deposits in connection with its use of financial options and futures, forward
and spot currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial contracts or

derivative instruments.

8
<PAGE>
(9) engage in short sales of securities or maintain a short position,
except that the Fund may (a) sell short 'against the box' and (b) maintain short
positions in connection with its use of financial options and futures, forward
and spot currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial contracts or
derivative instruments.

(10) invest in oil, gas or mineral exploration or development programs or
leases, except that investments in securities of issuers that invest in such
programs or leases and investments in asset-backed securities supported by
receivables generated from such programs or leases are not subject to this
prohibition.

(11) purchase securities of other investment companies, except to the
extent permitted by the 1940 Act and except that this limitation does not apply
to securities received or acquired as dividends, through offers of exchange, or
as a result of reorganization, consolidation, or merger.

In addition, Global Equity Fund will not:

(12) invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control or
management.

HEDGING STRATEGIES

HEDGING INSTRUMENTS. Mitchell Hutchins and the Sub-Advisers may use a
variety of financial instruments ('Hedging Instruments'), including certain
options, futures contracts (sometimes referred to as 'futures') and options on
futures contracts, to attempt to hedge each Fund's portfolio. In particular,
each Fund may use the hedging instruments described below. Global Income Fund
may use these strategies to attempt to enhance income and also may enter into
certain interest rate protection transactions.

OPTIONS ON SECURITIES AND FOREIGN CURRENCIES--A call option is a short-term
contract pursuant to which the purchaser of the option, in return for a premium,
has the right to buy the security or currency underlying the option at a
specified price at any time during the term of the option. The writer of the
call option, who receives the premium, has the obligation, upon exercise of the
option during the option term, to deliver the underlying security or currency
against payment of the exercise price. A put option is a similar contract that
gives its purchaser, in return for a premium, the right to sell the underlying
security or currency at a specified price during the option term. The writer of
the put option, who receives the premium, has the obligation, upon exercise of
the option during the option term, to buy the underlying security or currency at
the exercise price.

delivery of securities. Thus, upon exercise of a securities index option, the
purchaser will realize, and the writer will pay, an amount based on the
difference between the exercise price and the closing price of the securities
index.

SECURITIES INDEX FUTURES CONTRACTS--A securities index futures contract is
a bilateral agreement pursuant to which one party agrees to accept, and the
other party agrees to make, delivery of an amount of cash equal to a specified
dollar amount times the difference between the securities index value at the
close of trading of the contract and the price at which the futures contract is
originally struck. No physical delivery of the securities comprising the index
is made. Generally, contracts are closed out prior to the expiration date of the
contract.

INTEREST RATE AND FOREIGN CURRENCY FUTURES CONTRACTS--Interest rate and
foreign currency futures contracts are bilateral agreements pursuant to which
one party agrees to make, and the other party agrees to accept, delivery of a
specified type of debt security or currency at a specified future time and at a
specified price. Although such futures contracts by their terms call for actual
delivery or acceptance of debt securities or currency, in most cases the
contracts are closed out before the settlement date without the making or taking
of delivery.

<PAGE>
OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS--Options on futures contracts are similar to
options on securities or currency, except that an option on a futures contract
gives the purchaser the right, in return for the premium, to assume a position
in a futures contract (a long position if the option is a call and a short
position if the option is a put), rather than to purchase or sell a security or
currency, at a specified price at any time during the option term. Upon exercise
of the option, the delivery of the futures position to the holder of the option
will be accompanied by delivery of the accumulated balance that represents the
amount by which the market price of the futures contract exceeds, in the case of
a call, or is less than, in the case of a put, the exercise price of the option
on the future. The writer of an option, upon exercise, will assume a short
position in the case of a call and a long position in the case of a put.

FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS--A forward currency contract involves an
obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a specified future date,
which may be any fixed number of days from the contract date agreed upon by the
parties, at a price set at the time the contract is entered into.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF HEDGING STRATEGIES. Hedging strategies can be
broadly categorized as 'short hedges' and 'long hedges.' A short hedge is a
purchase or sale of a Hedging Instrument intended to partially or fully offset
potential declines in the value of one or more investments held in a Fund's
portfolio. Thus, in a short hedge a Fund takes a position in a Hedging
Instrument whose price is expected to move in the opposite direction of the
price of the investment being hedged. For example, a Fund might purchase a put
option on a security to hedge against a potential decline in the value of that
security. If the price of the security declined below the exercise price of the
put, a Fund could exercise the put and thus limit its loss below the exercise

price to the premium paid plus transactions costs. In the alternative, because
the value of the put option can be expected to increase as the value of the
underlying security declines, a Fund might be able to close out the put option
and realize a gain to offset the decline in the value of the security.

Conversely, a long hedge is a purchase or sale of a Hedging Instrument
intended partially or fully to offset potential increases in the acquisition
cost of one or more investments that a Fund intends to acquire. Thus, in a long
hedge, a Fund takes a position in a Hedging Instrument whose price is expected
to move in the same direction as the price of the prospective investment being
hedged. For example, a Fund might purchase a call option on a security it
intends to purchase in order to hedge against an increase in the cost of the
security. If the price of the security increased above the exercise price of the
call, a Fund could exercise the call and thus limit its acquisition cost to the
exercise price plus the premium paid and transactions costs. Alternatively, a
Fund might be able to offset the price increase by closing out an appreciated
call option and realizing a gain.

Hedging Instruments on securities generally are used to hedge against price
movements in one or more particular securities positions that a Fund owns or
intends to acquire. Hedging Instruments on stock indices, in contrast, generally
are used to hedge against price movements in broad equity market sectors in
which a Fund has invested or expects to invest. Hedging Instruments on debt
securities may be used to hedge either individual securities or broad fixed
income market sectors.

The use of Hedging Instruments is subject to applicable regulations of the
SEC, the several options and futures exchanges upon which they are traded, the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission ('CFTC') and various state regulatory
authorities. In addition, a Fund's ability to use Hedging Instruments will be
limited by tax considerations. See 'Taxes.'

In addition to the products, strategies and risks described below and in
the Prospectus, Mitchell Hutchins and the Sub-Advisers expect to discover
additional opportunities in connection with options, futures contracts and other
hedging techniques. These new opportunities may become available as Mitchell
Hutchins or the Sub-Advisers develop new techniques, as regulatory authorities
broaden the range of permitted transactions and as new options, futures
contracts, foreign currency contracts or other techniques are developed.
Mitchell Hutchins or a Sub-Adviser, as applicable, may utilize these
opportunities to the extent that they are consistent with each Fund's investment
objective and permitted by each Fund's investment limitations and applicable
regulatory authorities. The Funds' Prospectus or Statement of Additional
Information will be supplemented to the extent that new products or techniques
involve materially different risks than those described below or in the
Prospectus.

10
<PAGE>
SPECIAL RISKS OF HEDGING STRATEGIES. The use of Hedging Instruments
involves special considerations and risks, as described below. Risks pertaining
to particular Hedging Instruments are described in the sections that follow.

(1) Successful use of most Hedging Instruments depends upon the ability of

Mitchell Hutchins or the Sub-Advisers, as applicable, to predict movements of
the overall securities and interest rate markets, which requires different
skills than predicting changes in the prices of individual securities. While
Mitchell Hutchins and the Sub-Advisers are experienced in the use of Hedging
Instruments, there can be no assurance that any particular hedging strategy
adopted will succeed.

(2) There might be imperfect correlation, or even no correlation, between
price movements of a Hedging Instrument and price movements of the investments
being hedged. For example, if the value of a Hedging Instrument used in a short
hedge increased by less than the decline in value of the hedged investment, the
hedge would not be fully successful. Such a lack of correlation might occur due
to factors unrelated to the value of the investments being hedged, such as
speculative or other pressures on the markets in which Hedging Instruments are
traded.

The effectiveness of hedges using Hedging Instruments on indices will
depend on the degree of correlation between price movements in the index and
price movements in the securities being hedged.

(3) Hedging strategies, if successful, can reduce risk of loss by wholly or
partially offsetting the negative effect of unfavorable price movements in the
investments being hedged. However, hedging strategies can also reduce
opportunity for gain by offsetting the positive effect of favorable price
movements in the hedged investments. For example, if a Fund entered into a short
hedge because Mitchell Hutchins or a Sub-Adviser projected a decline in the
price of a security in that Fund's portfolio, and the price of that security
increased instead, the gain from that increase might be wholly or partially
offset by a decline in the price of the Hedging Instrument. Moreover, if the
price of the Hedging Instrument declined by more than the increase in the price
of the security, that Fund could suffer a loss. In either such case, the Fund
would have been in a better position had it not hedged at all.

(4) As described below, a Fund might be required to maintain assets as
'cover,' maintain segregated accounts or make margin payments when it takes
positions in Hedging Instruments involving obligations to third parties (i.e.,
Hedging Instruments other than purchased options). If the Fund was unable to
close out its positions in such Hedging Instruments, it might be required to
continue to maintain such assets or accounts or make such payments until the
positions expired or matured. These requirements might impair a Fund's ability
to sell a portfolio security or make an investment at a time when it would
otherwise be favorable to do so, or require that the Fund sell a portfolio
security at a disadvantageous time. A Fund's ability to close out a position in
a Hedging Instrument prior to expiration or maturity depends on the existence of
a liquid secondary market or, in the absence of such a market, the ability and
willingness of a contra party to enter into a transaction closing out the
position. Therefore, there is no assurance that any hedging position can be
closed out at a time and price that is favorable to a Fund.

times to cover its potential obligations to the extent not covered as provided
in (1) above. Each Fund will comply with SEC guidelines regarding cover for
hedging transactions and will, if the guidelines so require, set aside cash or
liquid securities in a segregated account with its custodian in the prescribed
amount.

Assets used as cover or held in a segregated account cannot be sold while
the position in the corresponding Hedging Instrument is open, unless they are
replaced with similar assets. As a result, the commitment of a large portion of
a Fund's assets to cover or segregated accounts could impede portfolio
management or the Fund's ability to meet redemption requests or other current
obligations.

authorized to invest and on foreign currencies. The purchase of call options
serves as a long hedge, and the purchase of put options serves as a short hedge.
Writing covered call options serves as a limited short hedge, because declines
in the value of the hedged investment would be offset to the extent of the
premium received for writing the option. However, if the security appreciates to
a price higher than the exercise price of the call option, it can be expected
that the option will be exercised and the affected Fund will be obligated to
sell the security at less than its market value. Writing covered put options
serves as a limited long hedge because increases in the value of the hedged
investment would be offset to the extent of the premium received for writing the
option. However, if the security depreciates to a price lower than the exercise
price of the put option, it can be expected that the put option will be
exercised and the Fund will be obligated to purchase the security at more than
its market value. The securities or other assets used as cover for OTC options
written by a Fund would be considered illiquid to the extent described under
'Investment Policies and Restrictions--Illiquid Securities.'

The value of an option position will reflect, among other things, the
current market value of the underlying investment, the time remaining until
expiration, the relationship of the exercise price to the market price of the
underlying investment, the historical price volatility of the underlying
investment and general market conditions. Options normally have expiration dates
of up to nine months. Options that expire unexercised have no value.

A Fund may effectively terminate its right or obligation under an option by
entering into a closing transaction. For example, a Fund may terminate its
obligation under a call or put option that it had written by purchasing an
identical call or put option; this is known as a closing purchase transaction.
Conversely, a Fund may terminate a position in a put or call option it had
purchased by writing an identical put or call option; this is known as a closing
sale transaction. Closing transactions permit a Fund to realize profits or limit
losses on an option position prior to its exercise or expiration.

The Funds may purchase and write both exchange-traded and OTC options.
Exchange markets for options on debt securities and foreign currencies exist but
are relatively new, and these instruments are primarily traded on the OTC
market. Exchange-traded options in the United States are issued by a clearing
organization affiliated with the exchange on which the option is listed which,
in effect, guarantees completion of every exchange-traded option transaction. In
contrast, OTC options are contracts between a Fund and its contra party (usually
a securities dealer or a bank) with no clearing organization guarantee. Thus,
when a Fund purchases or writes an OTC option, it relies on the contra party to
make or take delivery of the underlying investment upon exercise of the option.
Failure by the contra party to do so would result in the loss of any premium
paid by the Fund as well as the loss of any expected benefit of the transaction.
The Funds will enter into OTC option transactions only with contra parties that
have a net worth of at least $20 million.

Generally, the OTC debt options or foreign currency options used by the
Funds are European-style options. This means that the option is only exercisable
immediately prior to its expiration. This is in contrast to American-style
options, which are exercisable at any time prior to the expiration date of the
option.

The Funds' ability to establish and close out positions in exchange-listed
options depends on the existence of a liquid market. The Funds intend to
purchase or write only those exchange-traded options for which there appears to
be a liquid secondary market. However, there can be no assurance that such a
market will exist at any particular time. Closing transactions can be made for
OTC options only by negotiating directly with the contra party, or by a
transaction in the secondary market if any such market exists. Although the
Funds will enter into OTC options only with contra parties that are expected to
be capable of entering into closing transactions with the Funds, there is no
assurance that a Fund will in fact be able to close out an OTC option position
at a favorable price prior to expiration. In the event of insolvency of the
contra party, a Fund might be unable to close out an OTC option position at any
time prior to its expiration.

If a Fund were unable to effect a closing transaction for an option it had
purchased, it would have to exercise the option to realize any profit. The
inability to enter into a closing purchase transaction for a covered put or call
option written by the Fund could cause material losses because the Fund would be
unable to sell the investment used as cover for the written option until the
option expires or is exercised.

LIMITATIONS ON THE USE OF OPTIONS. The use of options is governed by the
following guidelines, which can be changed by each respective Fund's board
without shareholder vote:

(1) Each Fund may purchase a put or call option, including any
straddles or spreads, only if the value of its premium, when aggregated
with the premiums on all other options held by the Fund, does not exceed 5%
of its total assets.

(2) The aggregate value of securities underlying put options written
by a Fund determined as of the date the put options are written will not
exceed 50% of that Fund's net assets.

(3) The aggregate premiums paid on all options (including options on
securities, foreign currencies and stock and bond indices and options on
futures contracts) purchased by a Fund that are held at any time will not
exceed 20% of that Fund's net assets.

FUTURES. The Funds may purchase and sell securities index futures
contracts, interest rate futures contracts and foreign currency futures
contracts. A Fund may also purchase put and call options, and write covered put
and call options, on futures in which it is allowed to invest. The purchase of
futures or call options thereon can serve as a long hedge, and the sale of
futures or the purchase of put options thereon can serve as a short hedge.
Writing covered call options on futures contracts can serve as a limited short
hedge, and writing covered put options on futures contracts can serve as a
limited long hedge, using a strategy similar to that used for writing covered
options on securities or indices.

No price is paid upon entering into a futures contract. Instead, at the
inception of a futures contract a Fund is required to deposit in a segregated
account with its custodian, in the name of the futures broker through whom the
transaction was effected, 'initial margin' consisting of cash, U.S. government
securities or other liquid, high-grade debt securities, in an amount generally
equal to 10% or less of the contract value. Margin must also be deposited when
writing a call option on a futures contract, in accordance with applicable
exchange rules. Unlike margin in securities transactions, initial margin on
futures contracts does not represent a borrowing, but rather is in the nature of
a performance bond or good-faith deposit that is returned to a Fund at the
termination of the transaction if all contractual obligations have been
satisfied. Under certain circumstances, such as periods of high volatility, a
Fund may be required by an exchange to increase the level of its initial margin
payment, and initial margin requirements might be increased generally in the
future by regulatory action.

Subsequent 'variation margin' payments are made to and from the futures
broker daily as the value of the futures position varies, a process known as
'marking to market.' Variation margin does not involve borrowing, but rather
represents a daily settlement of each Fund's obligations to or from a futures
broker. When a Fund purchases an option on a future, the premium paid plus
transaction costs is all that is at risk. In contrast, when a Fund purchases or
sells a futures contract or writes a call option thereon, it is subject to daily
variation margin calls that could be substantial in the event of adverse price
movements. If a Fund has insufficient cash to meet daily variation margin
requirements, it might need to sell securities at a time when such sales are
disadvantageous.

Holders and writers of futures positions and options on futures can enter

into offsetting closing transactions, similar to closing transactions on
options, by selling or purchasing, respectively, an instrument identical to the
instrument held or written. Positions in futures and options on futures may be
closed only on an exchange or board of trade that provides a secondary market.
The Funds intend to enter into futures transactions only on exchanges or boards
of trade where there appears to be a liquid secondary market. However, there can
be no assurance that such a market will exist for a particular contract at a
particular time.

Under certain circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits
on the amount that the price of a future or related option can vary from the
previous day's settlement price; once that limit is reached, no trades may be
made that day at a price beyond the limit. Daily price limits do not limit
potential losses because prices could move to the daily limit for several
consecutive days with little or no trading, thereby preventing liquidation of
unfavorable positions.

13
<PAGE>
be subject to market risk with respect to the position. In addition, except in
the case of purchased options, a Fund would continue to be required to make
daily variation margin payments and might be required to maintain the position
being hedged by the future or option or to maintain cash or securities in a
segregated account.

Certain characteristics of the futures market might increase the risk that
movements in the prices of futures contracts or related options might not
correlate perfectly with movements in the prices of the investments being
hedged. For example, all participants in the futures and related options markets
are subject to daily variation margin calls and might be compelled to liquidate
futures or related options positions whose prices are moving unfavorably to
avoid being subject to further calls. These liquidations could increase price
volatility of the instruments and distort the normal price relationship between
the futures or options and the investments being hedged. Also, because initial
margin deposit requirements in the futures market are less onerous than margin
requirements in the securities markets, there might be increased participation
by speculators in the futures markets. This participation also might cause
temporary price distortions. In addition, activities of large traders in both
the futures and securities markets involving arbitrage, 'program trading' and
other investment strategies might result in temporary price distortions.

LIMITATIONS ON THE USE OF FUTURES AND RELATED OPTIONS. The use of futures
and related options is governed by the following guidelines, which can be
changed by each Fund's board without shareholder vote:

(1) To the extent a Fund enters into futures contracts and options on
futures positions that are not for bona fide hedging purposes (as defined by the
CFTC), the aggregate initial margin and premiums on those positions (excluding
the amount by which options are 'in-the-money') may not exceed 5% of that Fund's
net assets.

(2) The aggregate premiums paid on all options (including options on
securities, foreign currencies and stock or bond indices and options on futures
contracts) purchased by a Fund that are held at any time will not exceed 20% of
that Fund's net assets.

(3) The aggregate margin deposits on all futures contracts and options
thereon held at any time by a Fund will not exceed 5% of its total assets.

FOREIGN CURRENCY HEDGING STRATEGIES--SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. Each Fund may
use options and futures on foreign currencies, as described above, and forward
currency forward contracts, as described below, to hedge against movements in
the values of the foreign currencies in which the Funds' securities are
denominated. Such currency hedges can protect against price movements in a
security a Fund owns or intends to acquire that are attributable to changes in
the value of the currency in which it is denominated. Such hedges do not,
however, protect against price movements in the securities that are attributable
to other causes.

The Funds might seek to hedge against changes in the value of a particular
currency when no Hedging Instruments on that currency are available or such
Hedging Instruments are more expensive than certain other Hedging Instruments.
In such cases, the Funds may hedge against price movements in that currency by
entering into transactions using Hedging Instruments on another currency or a
basket of currencies, the value of which Mitchell Hutchins or the Sub-Advisers
believes will have a positive correlation to the value of the currency being
hedged. The risk that movements in the price of the Hedging Instrument will not
correlate perfectly with movements in the price of the currency being hedged is
magnified when this strategy is used.

The value of Hedging Instruments on foreign currencies depends on the value
of the underlying currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Because foreign currency
transactions occurring in the interbank market might involve substantially
larger amounts than those involved in the use of such Hedging Instruments, a
Fund could be disadvantaged by having to deal in the odd lot market (generally
consisting of transactions of less than $1 million) for the underlying foreign
currencies at prices that are less favorable than for round lots.

14
<PAGE>
closed while the markets for the underlying currencies remain open, significant
price and rate movements might take place in the underlying markets that cannot
be reflected in the markets for the Hedging Instruments until they reopen.

Settlement of hedging transactions involving foreign currencies might be
required to take place within the country issuing the underlying currency. Thus,

the Funds might be required to accept or make delivery of the underlying foreign
currency in accordance with any U.S. or foreign regulations regarding the
maintenance of foreign banking arrangements by U.S. residents and might be
required to pay any fees, taxes and charges associated with such delivery
assessed in the issuing country.

FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS. Each Fund may enter into forward currency
contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies for a fixed amount of U.S.
dollars or another foreign currency. Such transactions may serve as long
hedges--for example, a Fund may purchase a forward currency contract to lock in
the U.S. dollar price of a security denominated in a foreign currency that the
Fund intends to acquire. Forward currency contract transactions may also serve
as short hedges--for example, a Fund may sell a forward currency contract to
lock in the U.S. dollar equivalent of the proceeds from the anticipated sale of
a security denominated in a foreign currency.

As noted above, each Fund also may seek to hedge against changes in the
value of a particular currency by using forward contracts on another foreign
currency or a basket of currencies, the value of which Mitchell Hutchins or a
Sub-Adviser believes will have a positive correlation to the values of the
currency being hedged. In addition, a Fund may use forward currency contracts to
shift its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another.
For example, if a Fund owned securities denominated in a foreign currency and
Mitchell Hutchins or the Sub-Adviser believed that currency would decline
relative to another currency, it might enter into a forward contract to sell an
appropriate amount of the first foreign currency, with payment to be made in the
second foreign currency. Transactions that use two foreign currencies are
sometimes referred to as 'cross hedging.' Use of a different foreign currency
magnifies the risk that movements in the price of the Hedging Instrument will
not correlate or will correlate unfavorably with the foreign currency being
hedged.

The cost to a Fund of engaging in forward currency contracts varies with
factors such as the currency involved, the length of the contract period and the
market conditions then prevailing. Because forward currency contracts are
usually entered into on a principal basis, no fees or commissions are involved.
When a Fund enters into a forward currency contract, it relies on the contra
party to make or take delivery of the underlying currency at the maturity of the
contract. Failure by the contra party to do so would result in the loss of any
expected benefit of the transaction.

As is the case with futures contracts, holders and writers of forward
currency contracts can enter into offsetting closing transactions, similar to
closing transactions on futures, by selling or purchasing, respectively, an
instrument identical to the instrument purchased or sold. Secondary markets
generally do not exist for forward currency contracts, with the result that
closing transactions generally can be made for forward currency contracts only
by negotiating directly with the contra party. Thus, there can be no assurance
that the Funds will in fact be able to close out a forward currency contract at
a favorable price prior to maturity. In addition, in the event of insolvency of
the contra party, a Fund might be unable to close out a forward currency
contract at any time prior to maturity. In either event, the Fund would continue
to be subject to market risk with respect to the position, and would continue to
be required to maintain a position in the securities or currencies that are the

subject of the hedge or to maintain cash or securities in a segregated account.

The precise matching of forward currency contract amounts and the value of
the securities involved generally will not be possible because the value of such
securities, measured in the foreign currency, will change after the foreign
currency contract has been established. Thus, a Fund might need to purchase or
sell foreign currencies in the spot (cash) market to the extent such foreign
currencies are not covered by forward contracts. The projection of short-term
currency market movements is extremely difficult, and the successful execution
of a short-term hedging strategy is highly uncertain.

15
<PAGE>

LIMITATIONS ON THE USE OF FORWARD CURRENCY CONTRACTS. Each Fund may enter
into forward currency contracts or maintain a net exposure to such contracts
only if (1) the consummation of the contracts would not obligate the Fund to
deliver an amount of foreign currency in excess of the value of the position
being hedged by such contracts or (2) the Fund segregates with its custodian
cash or liquid securities in an amount not less than the value of its total
assets committed to the consummation of the contract and not covered as provided
in (1) above, as marked to market daily.

INTEREST RATE PROTECTION TRANSACTIONS. Global Income Fund may enter into
interest rate protection transactions, including interest rate swaps and
interest rate caps, collars and floors. Interest rate swap transactions involve
an agreement between two parties to exchange payments that are based, for
example, on variable and fixed rates of interest and that are calculated on the
basis of a specified amount of principal (the 'notional principal amount') for a
specified period of time. Interest rate cap and floor transactions involve an
agreement between two parties in which the first party agrees to make payments
to the counterparty when a designated market interest rate goes above (in the
case of a cap) or below (in the case of a floor) a designated level on
predetermined dates or during a specified time period. Interest rate collar
transactions involve an agreement between two parties in which payments are made
when a designated market interest rate either goes above a designated ceiling
level or goes below a designated floor level on predetermined dates or during a
specified time period.

The Fund expects to enter into interest rate protection transactions to
preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of its
portfolio or to protect against any increase in the price of securities it
anticipates purchasing at a later date. The Fund intends to use these
transactions as a hedge and not as a speculative investment. Interest rate
protection transactions are subject to risks comparable to those described above
with respect to other hedging strategies.

of the two payments. Inasmuch as these interest rate protection transactions are
entered into for good faith hedging purposes, and inasmuch as segregated
accounts will be established with respect to such transactions, Mitchell
Hutchins believes such obligations do not constitute senior securities and,
accordingly, will not treat them as being subject to the Fund's borrowing
restrictions. The net amount of the excess, if any, of the Fund's obligations
over its entitlements with respect to each interest rate swap will be accrued on
a daily basis, and appropriate Fund assets having an aggregate net asset value
at least equal to the accrued excess will be maintained in a segregated account
as described above in 'Investment Policies and Restrictions--Segregated
Accounts.' The Fund also will establish and maintain such segregated accounts
with respect to its total obligations under any interest rate swaps that are not
entered into on a net basis and with respect to any interest rate caps, collars
and floors that are written by the Fund.

Global Income Fund will enter into interest rate protection transactions
only with banks and recognized securities dealers believed by Mitchell Hutchins
to present minimal credit risk in accordance with guidelines established by the
Trust's board of trustees. If there is a default by the other party to such a
transaction, the Fund will have to rely on its contractual remedies (which may
be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws) pursuant to the agreements
related to the transaction.

The swap market has grown substantially in recent years with a large number
of banks and investment banking firms acting both as principals and as agents
utilizing standardized swap documentation. Caps, collars and floors are more
recent innovations for which documentation is less standardized, and
accordingly, they are less liquid than swaps.

** Mrs. Alexander, Mr. Bewkes and Ms. Farrell are 'interested persons' of each
Fund as defined in the 1940 Act by virtue of their positions with Mitchell
Hutchins, PaineWebber, and/or PW Group.

Each Trust pays trustees who are not 'interested persons' of the Trust
$1,000 annually for each series and $150 for each board meeting and each
separate meeting of a board committee. Investment Trust II and Investment Series
presently each has one series and thus pays each such trustee $1,000 annually,
plus any additional amounts due for board or committee meetings. Investment
Trust has two series and thus pays each such trustee $2,000 annually, plus any
additional amounts due for board or committee meetings. Messrs. Feldberg and
Torell serve as chairmen of the audit and contract review committees of
individual funds within the PaineWebber fund complex and receive additional
annual compensation, aggregating $15,000 each, from the relevant funds. All
trustees are reimbursed for any expenses incurred in attending meetings.
Trustees own in the aggregate less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each
Fund. Because PaineWebber, Mitchell Hutchins and, as applicable, a Sub-Adviser
perform substantially all the services necessary for the operation of the Trusts
and each Fund, the Trusts require no employees. No officer, director or employee
of Mitchell Hutchins or PaineWebber presently receives any compensation from the
Trusts for acting as a trustee or officer.

organizations; (16) costs of mailing and tabulating proxies and costs of
meetings of shareholders, the board and any committees thereof; (17) the cost of
investment company literature and other publications provided to trustees and
officers; and (18) costs of mailing, stationery and communications equipment.

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1996, Mitchell
Hutchins waived part of its management fees and reimbursed Emerging Markets
Equity Fund in the amounts of $81,217 and $538,618, respectively; during these
periods, certain expense limitations were applicable which are no longer in
effect. As of the date of this Statement of Additional Information, Mitchell
Hutchins was voluntarily waiving part of its management fees and/or making
reimbursements to Emerging Markets Equity Fund so that the Fund's 'Total
Operating Expenses' were as listed in the Expense Table in the Prospectus.
Mitchell Hutchins may discontinue these voluntary waivers/reimbursements at any
time.

Under each Advisory Contract, Mitchell Hutchins will not be liable for any
error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by a Fund in
connection with the performance of the Advisory Contract, except a loss
resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of
Mitchell Hutchins in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard of
its duties and obligations thereunder. Each Advisory Contract terminates
automatically upon assignment and is terminable at any time without penalty by
the Fund's board of trustees or by vote of the holders of a majority of the
Fund's outstanding voting securities on 60 days' written notice to Mitchell
Hutchins, or by Mitchell Hutchins on 60 days' written notice to the Fund.

accrued) to Mitchell Hutchins and/or KPAM (the Fund's investment adviser prior
to February 13, 1995) advisory and administrative fees of $4,990,588, $2,109,091
and $2,339,156, respectively.

The Advisory Contract authorizes Mitchell Hutchins to retain one or more
sub-advisers, but does not require Mitchell Hutchins to do so. Mitchell Hutchins
has entered into a separate contract with GE Investment Management, dated August
25, 1995 ('Sub-Advisory Contract'), pursuant to which GE Investment Management
determines what securities will be purchased, sold or held by the Fund. Under

Management a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.31%
of the value of its average daily net assets up to and including $500 million,
0.29% of amounts over $500 million up to and including $1 billion, and 0.265% of

$1,808,760, $1,523,282, and $1,637,409, respectively, to GE Investment
Management.

Under the Sub-Advisory Contract, GE Investment Management will not be
liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by
the Trust, Global Equity Fund, its shareholders or Mitchell Hutchins in
connection with the Sub-Advisory Contract, except any liability to the Trust,
the Fund, its shareholders or Mitchell Hutchins to which GE Investment
Management would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith, gross negligence on its part in the performance of its duties or from
reckless disregard by it of its obligations and duties under the Sub-Advisory
Contract.

The Sub-Advisory Contract terminates automatically upon its assignment or
the termination of the Advisory Contract and is terminable at any time without
penalty by the board of trustees or by vote of the holders of a majority of
Global Equity Fund's outstanding voting securities on 60 days' notice to GE

PERSONNEL TRADING POLICIES. Mitchell Hutchins personnel may invest in
securities for their own accounts pursuant to codes of ethics that describe the
fiduciary duty owed to shareholders of PaineWebber mutual funds and other
Mitchell Hutchins advisory accounts by all Mitchell Hutchins' directors,
officers and employees, establishes procedures for personal investing and
restricts certain transactions. For example, employee accounts generally must be
maintained at PaineWebber, personal trades in most securities require
pre-clearance and short-term trading and participation in initial public
offerings generally are prohibited. In addition, the code of ethics puts
restrictions on the timing of personal investing in relation to trades by
PaineWebber Funds and other Mitchell Hutchins advisory clients. Personnel of
each Sub-Adviser may also invest in securities for their own accounts pursuant
to comparable codes of ethics.

DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS. Mitchell Hutchins acts as the distributor of
the Class A, Class B and Class C shares of each Fund under separate distribution
contracts with each Trust (collectively, 'Distribution Contracts') that require
Mitchell Hutchins to use its best efforts, consistent with its other businesses,

to sell shares of each Fund. Shares of each of the Funds are offered
continuously. Under separate exclusive dealer agreements between Mitchell
Hutchins and PaineWebber relating to the Class A, Class B and Class C shares
(collectively, 'Exclusive Dealer Agreements'), PaineWebber and its correspondent
firms sell the Funds' shares.

Under separate plans of distribution pertaining to the Class A, Class B and
Class C shares adopted by each Trust in the manner prescribed under Rule 12b-1
under the 1940 Act ('Class A Plan,' 'Class B Plan' and 'Class C Plan,'
collectively, 'Plans'), each Fund pays Mitchell Hutchins a service fee, accrued
daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net
assets of each Class of shares for each respective Fund. Under the Class B Plan,
each Fund pays Mitchell Hutchins a distribution fee, accrued daily and payable
monthly, at the annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of the
Class B shares. Under the Class C Plan, each Fund pays Mitchell Hutchins a
distribution fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.75%
(in the case of Emerging Markets Equity Fund and Global Equity Fund) and 0.50%
(in the case of Global Income Fund) of the average daily net assets of the Class
C shares.

Among other things, each Plan provides that (1) Mitchell Hutchins will
submit to each Fund's board of trustees at least quarterly, and the trustees
will review, reports regarding all amounts expended under the Plan and the
purposes for which such expenditures were made, (2) the Plan will continue in
effect only so long as it is approved at least annually, and any material
amendment thereto is approved, by each board of trustees, including those
trustees who are not 'interested persons' of their respective Funds and who have
no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan or any
agreement related to the Plan, acting in person at a meeting called for that
purpose, (3) payments by a Fund under the Plan shall not be materially increased
without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of the relevant class of the respective Fund and (4) while the Plan
remains in effect, the selection and nomination of trustees who are not
'interested persons' of a Fund shall be committed to the discretion of the
trustees who are not 'interested persons' of that Fund.

In reporting amounts expended under the Plans to the trustees, Mitchell
Hutchins allocates expenses attributable to the sale of each Class of each
Fund's shares to such Class based on the ratio of sales of shares of

27
<PAGE>
such Class to the sales of all three Classes of shares. The fees paid by one
Class of a Fund's shares will not be used to subsidize the sale of any other
Class of Fund shares.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 (for Emerging Markets Equity Fund),

August 31, 1996 (for Global Equity Fund) and October 31, 1995 (for Global Income
Fund), the Funds paid (or accrued) the following respective fees to Mitchell
Hutchins under the Plans:

'Marketing and advertising' includes various internal costs allocated by
Mitchell Hutchins to its efforts at distributing the Funds' shares. These
internal costs encompass office rent, salaries and other overhead expenses of
various departments and areas of operations of Mitchell Hutchins. 'Branch
network costs allocated and interest expense' consist of an allocated portion of
the expenses of various PaineWebber departments involved in the distribution of
the Funds' shares, including the PaineWebber retail branch system.

In approving the Funds' overall Flexible Pricing(Service Mark) system of
distribution, each Trust's board considered several factors, including that
implementation of Flexible Pricing would (1) enable investors to choose the
purchasing option best suited to their individual situation, thereby encouraging
current shareholders to make additional investments in each respective Fund and
attracting new investors and assets to the Fund to the benefit of the Fund and
its shareholders, (2) facilitate distribution of the Funds' shares and (3)
maintain the competitive position of the Funds in relation to other funds that
have implemented or are seeking to implement similar distribution arrangements.

In approving the Class A Plan, the trustees of each Fund considered all the
features of the distribution system, including (1) the conditions under which
initial sales charges would be imposed and the amount of such charges, (2)
Mitchell Hutchins' belief that the initial sales charge combined with a service
fee would be attractive to PaineWebber investment executives and correspondent
firms, resulting in greater growth of the Fund than might otherwise be the case,
(3) the advantages to the shareholders of economies of scale resulting from
growth in the Fund's assets and potential continued growth, (4) the services
provided to the Fund and its shareholders by Mitchell Hutchins, (5) the services
provided by PaineWebber pursuant to its Exclusive Dealer Agreement with Mitchell
Hutchins and (6) Mitchell Hutchins' shareholder service-related expenses and
costs.

In approving the Class B Plan, the trustees of each Fund considered all the
features of the distribution system, including (1) the conditions under which
contingent deferred sales charges would be imposed and the amount of such
charges, (2) the advantage to investors in having no initial sales charges
deducted from Fund purchase payments and instead having the entire amount of
their purchase payments immediately invested in Fund shares, (3) Mitchell
Hutchins' belief that the ability of PaineWebber investment executives and
correspondent firms to receive sales commissions when Class B shares are sold
and continuing service fees thereafter while their customers invest their entire
purchase payments immediately in Class B shares would prove attractive to the
investment executives and correspondent firms, resulting in greater growth of
the Fund than might otherwise be the case, (4) the advantages to the
shareholders of economies of scale resulting from growth in the Fund's assets
and potential continued growth, (5) the services provided to the Fund and its
shareholders by Mitchell Hutchins, (6) the services provided by PaineWebber
pursuant to its Exclusive Dealer Agreement with Mitchell Hutchins and (7)

Mitchell Hutchins' shareholder service and distribution-related expenses and
costs. The trustees also recognized that Mitchell Hutchins' willingness to
compensate PaineWebber and its investment executives, without the concomitant
receipt by Mitchell Hutchins of initial sales charges, was conditioned upon its
expectation of being compensated under the Class B Plan.

In approving the Class C Plan, the trustees of each Fund considered all the
features of the distribution system, including (1) the advantage to investors in
having no initial sales charges deducted from the Fund purchase payments and
instead having the entire amount of their purchase payments immediately invested
in Fund shares, (2) the advantage to investors in being free from contingent
deferred sales charges upon redemption for shares held more than one year and
paying for distribution on an ongoing basis, (3) Mitchell Hutchins' belief that
the ability of PaineWebber investment executives and correspondent firms to
receive sales compensation for their sales of Class C shares on an ongoing
basis, along with continuing service fees, while their customers invest their
entire purchase payments immediately in Class C shares and generally do not face
contingent deferred sales charges, would prove attractive to the investment
executives and correspondent firms, resulting in greater growth to the Fund than
might otherwise be the case, (4) the advantages to the shareholders of economies
of scale resulting from growth in the Fund's assets and potential continued
growth, (5) the services provided to the Fund and its shareholders by Mitchell
Hutchins, (6) the services provided by PaineWebber pursuant to its Exclusive
Dealer Agreement with Mitchell Hutchins and (7) Mitchell Hutchins' shareholder
service-and distribution-related expenses and costs. The trustees also
recognized that Mitchell Hutchins' willingness to compensate PaineWebber and its
investment executives

29
<PAGE>
without the concomitant receipt by Mitchell Hutchins of initial sales charges or
contingent deferred sales charges upon redemption, was conditioned upon its
expectation of being compensated under the Class C Plan.

With respect to each Plan, the trustees considered all compensation that
Mitchell Hutchins would receive under the Plan and the Distribution Contract,
including service fees and, as applicable, initial sales charges, distribution
fees and contingent deferred sales charges. The trustees also considered the
benefits that would accrue to Mitchell Hutchins under each Plan in that Mitchell
Hutchins would receive service, distribution and advisory fees which are
calculated based upon a percentage of the average net assets of each Fund, which
would increase if the Plan were successful and the Fund attained and maintained
significant asset levels.

Under the Distribution Contracts for the Class A shares for the fiscal
years set forth below, Mitchell Hutchins earned the following approximate
amounts of sales charges and retained the following approximate amounts net of
concessions to PaineWebber as exclusive dealer.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

Subject to policies established by each Fund's board, Mitchell Hutchins or
a Sub-Adviser, as applicable, is responsible for the execution of each Fund's
portfolio transactions and the allocation of brokerage transactions. In
executing portfolio transactions, Mitchell Hutchins or the Sub-Adviser seeks to
obtain the best net results for a Fund, taking into account such factors as the
price (including the applicable brokerage commission or dealer spread), size of
order, difficulty of execution and operational facilities of the firm involved.
While Mitchell Hutchins and the Sub-Adviser generally seek reasonably
competitive commission rates, payment of the lowest commission is not
necessarily consistent with obtaining the best net results. Prices paid to
dealers in principal transactions, through which most debt securities and some
equity securities are traded, generally include a 'spread,' which is the
difference between the prices at which the dealer is willing to purchase and
sell a specific security at the time. The Funds may invest in securities traded
in the OTC market and will engage primarily in transactions directly with the
dealers who make markets in such securities, unless a better price or execution
could be obtained by using a broker. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996,
June 30, 1995 and the period January 19, 1994 (commencement of operations) to
June 30, 1994, Emerging Markets Equity Fund paid $264,723, $531,901 and
$363,528, respectively, in brokerage commissions. For the fiscal years ended
August 31, 1996, August 31, 1995 and August 31, 1994, Global Equity Fund paid
$1,472,329, $850,531 and $780,022, respectively, in brokerage commissions. For
the fiscal years ended October 31, 1995, October 31, 1994 and October 31, 1993,
Global Income Fund did not pay any brokerage commissions.

The Funds have no obligation to deal with any broker or group of brokers in
the execution of portfolio transactions. The Funds contemplate that, consistent
with the policy of obtaining the best net results, brokerage transactions may be
conducted through PaineWebber. Each Fund's board of trustees has adopted
procedures in conformity with Rule 17e-1 under the 1940 Act to ensure that all
brokerage commissions paid to PaineWebber are reasonable and fair. Specific
provisions in the Advisory Contracts authorize PaineWebber to effect portfolio
transactions for the Funds on such exchange and to retain compensation in
connection with such transactions. Any such transactions will be effected and
related compensation paid only in accordance with applicable SEC regulations.
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995,
Emerging Markets Equity Fund paid no brokerage commissions to PaineWebber. For
its last three fiscal years, Global Equity Fund paid no brokerage commissions
to PaineWebber. For its last three fiscal years, Global Income Fund paid no
brokerage commissions to PaineWebber.

Transactions in futures contracts are executed through futures commission
merchants ('FCMs'), who receive brokerage commissions for their services. The
Funds' procedures in selecting FCMs to execute their transactions in futures
contracts, including procedures permitting the use of PaineWebber are similar to
those in effect with respect to brokerage transactions in securities.

Consistent with the interests of the Funds and subject to the review of
each Fund's board of trustees, Mitchell Hutchins or a Sub-Adviser may cause a
Fund to purchase and sell portfolio securities from and to dealers or through
brokers who provide that Fund with research, analysis, advice and similar
services. In return for such services, the Funds may pay to those brokers a
higher commission than may be charged by other brokers, provided that Mitchell
Hutchins or the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that such commission is
reasonable in terms either of that particular transaction or of the overall
responsibility of Mitchell Hutchins or the Sub-Adviser, as applicable, to that
Fund and its other clients and that the total commissions paid by the Fund will
be reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Fund over the long term. For
Global Equity Fund's fiscal year ended August 31, 1996, GE Investment Management
directed $21,439,471 in portfolio transactions to brokers chosen because they
provided research services, for which the Fund paid $24,245 in commissions.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, Emerging Markets Management directed
none of Emerging Markets Equity Fund's portfolio transactions to brokers chosen
for research services. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1995, Mitchell
Hutchins directed no portfolio transactions to brokers chosen for research
services.

For purchases or sales with broker-dealer firms which act as principal,
Mitchell Hutchins or the applicable Sub-Adviser seeks best execution. Although
Mitchell Hutchins and the Sub-Adviser may receive certain research or execution
services in connection with these transactions, Mitchell Hutchins and the Sub-
Advisers will not purchase securities at a higher price or sell securities at a
lower price than would otherwise be paid if no weight was attributed to the
services provided by the executing dealer. Moreover, Mitchell Hutchins and the
Sub-Advisers will not enter into any explicit soft dollar arrangements relating
to principal

31
<PAGE>
transactions and will not receive in principal transactions the types of
services which could be purchased for hard dollars. Mitchell Hutchins or a
Sub-Adviser may engage in agency transactions in OTC equity and debt securities
in return for research and execution services. These transactions are entered
into only in compliance with procedures ensuring that the transaction (including
commissions) is at least as favorable as it would have been if effected directly
with a market-maker that did not provide research or execution services. These
procedures include Mitchell Hutchins or the Sub-Adviser receiving multiple
quotes from dealers before executing the transactions on an agency basis.

Information and research services furnished by brokers or dealers through
which or with which the Funds effect securities transactions may be used by
Mitchell Hutchins or a Sub-Adviser in advising other funds or accounts and,
conversely, research services furnished to Mitchell Hutchins or the Sub-Adviser
by brokers or dealers in connection with other funds or accounts that either of
them advises may be used in advising the Funds. Information and research
received from brokers or dealers will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the

services required to be performed by Mitchell Hutchins under the Advisory
Contract or the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Contracts.

Investment decisions for a Fund and for other investment accounts managed
by Mitchell Hutchins or by a Sub-Adviser are made independently of each other in
light of differing considerations for the various accounts. However, the same
investment decision may occasionally be made for a Fund and one or more of such
accounts. In such cases, simultaneous transactions are inevitable. Purchases or
sales are then averaged as to price and allocated between that Fund and such
other account(s) as to amount according to a formula deemed equitable to the
Fund and such account(s). While in some cases this practice could have a
detrimental effect upon the price or value of the security as far as the Funds
are concerned, or upon their ability to complete their entire order, in other
cases it is believed that coordination and the ability to participate in volume
transactions will be beneficial to the Funds.

The Funds will not purchase securities that are offered in underwritings in
which PaineWebber is a member of the underwriting or selling group, except
pursuant to procedures adopted by each Fund's board of trustees pursuant to Rule
10f-3 under the 1940 Act. Among other things, these procedures require that the
spread or commission paid in connection with such a purchase be reasonable and
fair, the purchase be at not more than the public offering price prior to the
end of the first business day after the date of the public offering and that
PaineWebber or any affiliate thereof not participate in or benefit from the sale
to the Funds.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER. The Funds' annual portfolio turnover rates may vary
greatly from year to year, but they will not be a limiting factor when
management deems portfolio changes appropriate. The portfolio turnover rate is
calculated by dividing the lesser of each Fund's annual sales or purchases of
portfolio securities (exclusive of purchases or sales of securities whose
maturities at the time of acquisition were one year or less) by the monthly
average value of securities in the portfolio during the year.

The Funds' respective portfolio turnover rates for the preceding two fiscal
years were:

REDUCED SALES CHARGES, ADDITIONAL EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION
INFORMATION AND OTHER SERVICES

COMBINED PURCHASE PRIVILEGE-CLASS A SHARES. Investors and eligible groups
of related Fund investors may combine purchases of Class A shares of the Funds
with concurrent purchases of Class A shares of any other PaineWebber mutual fund
and thus take advantage of the reduced sales charges indicated in the table of
sales charges for Class A shares in the Prospectus. The sales charge payable on
the purchase of Class A shares of the Funds and Class A shares of such other
funds will be at the rates applicable to the total amount of the combined
concurrent purchases.

An 'eligible group of related Fund investors' can consist of any
combination of the following:

(a) an individual, that individual's spouse, parents and children;

(b) an individual and his or her Individual Retirement Account
('IRA');

(c) an individual (or eligible group of individuals) and any company
controlled by the individual(s) (a person, entity or group that holds 25%
or more of the outstanding voting securities of a corporation will be
deemed to control the corporation, and a partnership will be deemed to be
controlled by each of its general partners);

(d) an individual (or eligible group of individuals) and one or more
employee benefit plans of a company controlled by individual(s);

(e) an individual (or eligible group of individuals) and a trust
created by the individual(s), the beneficiaries of which are the individual
and/or the individual's spouse, parents or children;

(f) an individual and a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act/Uniform Transfers
to Minors Act account created by the individual or the individual's spouse;

(g) an employer (or group of related employers) and one or more
qualified retirement plans of such employer or employers (an employer
controlling, controlled by or under common control with another employer is
deemed related to that other employer); or

(h) individual accounts related together under one registered
investment adviser having full discretion and control over the accounts.
The registered investment adviser must communicate at least quarterly
through a newsletter or investment update establishing a relationship with
all of the accounts.

RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATIONS-CLASS A SHARES. Reduced sales charges are
available through a right of accumulation, under which investors and eligible
groups of related Fund investors (as defined above) are permitted to purchase

Class A shares of the Funds among related accounts at the offering price
applicable to the total of (1) the dollar amount then being purchased plus (2)
an amount equal to the then-current net asset value of the purchaser's combined
holdings of Class A Fund shares and Class A shares of any other PaineWebber
mutual fund. The purchaser must provide sufficient information to permit
confirmation of his or her holdings, and the acceptance of the purchase order is
subject to such confirmation. The right of accumulation may be amended or
terminated at any time.

WAIVERS OF SALES CHARGES-CLASS B SHARES. Among other circumstances, the
contingent deferred sales charge on Class B shares is waived where a total or
partial redemption is made within one year following the death of the
shareholder. The contingent deferred sales charge waiver is available where the
decedent is either the individual shareholder or owns the shares with his or her
spouse as a joint tenant with right of survivorship. This waiver applies only to
redemption of shares held at the time of death.

Certain PaineWebber mutual funds offered shares subject to contingent
deferred sales charges before the implementation of the Flexible Pricing System
on July 1, 1991 ('CDSC Funds'). The contingent deferred sales charge is waived
with respect to redemptions of Class B shares of CDSC Funds purchased prior to
July 1, 1991 by officers, directors (trustees) or employees of the CDSC Funds,
Mitchell Hutchins or their affiliates (or their spouses and children under age
21). In addition, the contingent deferred sales charge will be reduced by 50%
with respect to redemptions of Class B shares of CDSC Funds purchased prior to
July 1, 1991 with a net asset value at the time of purchase of at least $1
million. If Class B shares of a CDSC Fund purchased

33
<PAGE>
prior to July 1, 1991 are exchanged for Class B shares of the Funds, any waiver
or reduction of the contingent deferred sales charge that applied to the Class B
Shares of the CDSC Fund will apply to the Class B shares of the Funds acquired
through the exchange.

ADDITIONAL EXCHANGE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION. As discussed in the
Prospectus, eligible shares of the Funds may be exchanged for shares of the
corresponding Class of most other PaineWebber mutual funds. This exchange
privilege is available only in those jurisdictions where the sale of PaineWebber
fund shares to be acquired through such exchange may be legally made.
Shareholders will receive at least 60 days' notice of any termination or
material modification of the exchange offer, except no notice need be given of
an amendment whose only material effect is to reduce any exchange fee and no
notice need be given if, under extraordinary circumstances, either redemptions
are suspended under the circumstances described below or a Fund temporarily
delays or ceases the sales of its shares because it is unable to invest amounts
effectively in accordance with the Fund's investment objective, policies and
restrictions.

If conditions exist that make cash payments undesirable, the Funds reserve
the right to honor any request for redemption by making payment in whole or in

part in securities chosen by the Funds and valued in the same way as they would
be valued for purposes of computing the Funds' net asset value. If payment is
made in securities, a shareholder may incur brokerage expenses in converting
these securities into cash. Each Fund has elected, however, to be governed by
Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act, under which it is obligated to redeem shares
solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of its net asset value during
any 90-day period for one shareholder. This election is irrevocable unless the
SEC permits its withdrawal.

The Funds may suspend redemption privileges or postpone the date of payment
during any period (1) when the NYSE is closed or trading on the NYSE is
restricted as determined by the SEC, (2) when an emergency exists, as defined by
the SEC, that makes it not reasonably practicable for a Fund to dispose of
securities owned by it or fairly to determine the value of its assets or (3) as
the SEC may otherwise permit. The redemption price may be more or less than the
shareholder's cost, depending on the market value of a Fund's portfolio at the
time.

AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN. Participation in the Automatic Investment Plan
enables an investor to use the technique of 'dollar cost averaging.' When the
investor invests the same dollar amount each month under the Plan, the investor
will purchase more shares when a Fund's net asset value per share is low and
fewer shares when the net asset value per share is high. Using this technique,
an investor's average purchase price per share over any given period will be
lower than if the investor purchased a fixed number of shares on a monthly basis
during the period. Of course, investing through the automatic investment plan
does not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.
Additionally, because the automatic investment plan involves continuous
investing regardless of price levels, an investor should consider his or her
financial ability to continue purchases through periods of low price levels.

SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN. An investor's participation in the systematic
withdrawal plan will terminate automatically if the 'Initial Account Balance' (a
term that means the value of the Fund account at the time the investor elects to
participate in the systematic withdrawal plan) less aggregate redemptions made
other than pursuant to the systematic withdrawal plan is less than $5,000 for
Class A and Class C shareholders or $20,000 for Class B shareholders. Purchases
of additional shares of a Fund concurrent with withdrawals are ordinarily
disadvantageous to shareholders because of tax liabilities and, for Class A
shares, initial sales charges. On or about the 15th of each month for monthly
plans and on or about the 15th of the months selected for quarterly or
semi-annual plans, PaineWebber will arrange for redemption by the Funds of
sufficient Fund shares to provide the withdrawal payment specified by
participants in the Funds' systematic withdrawal plan. The payment generally is
mailed approximately five Business Days (defined under 'Valuation of Shares')
after the redemption date. Withdrawal payments should not be considered
dividends, but redemption proceeds, with the tax consequences described under
'Dividends & Taxes' in the Prospectus. If periodic withdrawals continually
exceed reinvested dividends and other distributions, a shareholder's investment
may be correspondingly reduced. A shareholder may change the amount of the

systematic withdrawal or terminate participation in the systematic withdrawal
plan at any time without charge or penalty by written instructions with
signatures guaranteed to PaineWebber or PFPC Inc. ('Transfer Agent').
Instructions to participate in the plan, change the withdrawal amount or
terminate participation in the plan

34
<PAGE>
will not be effective until five days after written instructions with signatures
guaranteed are received by the Transfer Agent. Shareholders may request the
forms needed to establish a systematic withdrawal plan from their PaineWebber
investment executives, correspondent firms or the Transfer Agent at
1-800-647-1568.

REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE-CLASS A SHARES. As described in the Prospectus,
shareholders who have redeemed their Class A shares may reinstate their account
in a Fund without a sales charge. Shareholders may exercise the reinstatement
privilege by notifying the Transfer Agent of such desire and forwarding a check
for the amount to be purchased within 365 days after the date of redemption. The
reinstatement will be made at the net asset value per share next computed after
the notice of reinstatement and check are received. The amount of a purchase
under this reinstatement privilege cannot exceed the amount of the redemption
proceeds. Gain on a redemption is taxable regardless of whether the
reinstatement privilege is exercised; however, a loss arising out of a
redemption will not be deductible to the extent the reinstatement privilege is
exercised within 30 days after redemption, and an adjustment will be made to the
shareholder's tax basis for shares acquired pursuant to the reinstatement
privilege. Gain or loss on a redemption also will be adjusted for federal income
tax purposes by the amount of any sales charge paid on Class A shares, under the
circumstances and to the extent described in 'Dividends & Taxes' in the
Prospectus.

Reductions in or exemptions from the imposition of a sales load are due to
the nature of the investors and/or the reduced sales efforts that will be needed
in obtaining such investments.

PAINEWEBBER RMA RESOURCE ACCUMULATION PLAN(SERVICE MARK)
PAINEWEBBER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ACCOUNT(REGISTERED) (RMA)(REGISTERED)

Shares of PaineWebber mutual funds (each a 'PW Fund' and, collectively, the
'PW Funds') are available for purchase through the RMA Resource Accumulation
Plan ('Plan') by customers of PaineWebber and its correspondent firms who
maintain Resource Management Accounts ('RMA accountholders'). The Plan allows an
RMA accountholder to continually invest in one or more of the PW Funds at
regular intervals, with payment for shares purchased automatically deducted from
the client's RMA account. The client may elect to invest at monthly or quarterly
intervals and may elect either to invest a fixed dollar amount (minimum $100 per
period) or to purchase a fixed number of shares. A client can elect to have Plan
purchases executed on the first or fifteenth day of the month. Settlement occurs

three Business Days (defined under 'Valuation of Shares') after the trade date,
and the purchase price of the shares is withdrawn from the investor's RMA
account on the settlement date from the following sources and in the following
order: uninvested cash balances, balances in RMA money market funds, or margin
borrowing power, if applicable to the account.

To participate in the Plan, an investor must be an RMA accountholder, must
have made an initial purchase of the shares of each PW Fund selected for
investment under the Plan (meeting applicable minimum investment requirements)
and must complete and submit the RMA Resource Accumulation Plan Client Agreement
and Instruction Form available from PaineWebber. The investor must have received
a current prospectus for each PW Fund selected prior to enrolling in the Plan.
Information about mutual fund positions and outstanding instructions under the
Plan are noted on the RMA accountholder's account statement. Instructions under
the Plan may be changed at any time, but may take up to two weeks to become
effective.

The terms of the Plan, or an RMA accountholder's participation in the Plan,
may be modified or terminated at any time. It is anticipated that, in the
future, shares of other PW Funds and/or mutual funds other than the PW Funds may
be offered through the Plan.

PERIODIC INVESTING AND DOLLAR COST AVERAGING.

Periodic investing in the PW Funds or other mutual funds, whether through
the Plan or otherwise, helps investors establish and maintain a disciplined
approach to accumulating assets over time, de-emphasizing the importance of
timing the market's highs and lows. Periodic investing also permits an investor
to take advantage of 'dollar cost averaging.' By investing a fixed amount in
mutual fund shares at established intervals, an investor purchases more shares
when the price is lower and fewer shares when the price is higher, thereby
increasing his or her earning potential. Of course, dollar cost averaging does
not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market, and an
investor should consider his or her financial ability to continue

35
<PAGE>
investing through periods of low share prices. However, over time, dollar cost
averaging generally results in a lower average original investment cost than if
an investor invested a larger dollar amount in a mutual fund at one time.

PAINEWEBBER'S RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ACCOUNT.

In order to enroll in the Plan, an investor must have opened an RMA account
with PaineWebber or one of its correspondent firms. The RMA account is
PaineWebber's comprehensive asset management account and offers investors a
number of features, including the following:

o monthly Premier account statements that itemize all account activity,
including investment transactions, checking activity and Gold
MasterCard(Registered) transactions during the period, and provide
unrealized and realized gain and loss estimates for most securities held
in the account;

o comprehensive preliminary 9-month and year-end summary statements that
provide information on account activity for use in tax planning and tax
return preparation;

o automatic 'sweep' of uninvested cash into the RMA accountholder's choice
of one of the seven RMA money market funds-RMA Money Market Portfolio,
RMA U.S. Government Portfolio, RMA Tax-Free Fund, RMA California
Municipal Money Fund, RMA Connecticut Municipal Money Fund, RMA New
Jersey Municipal Money Fund and RMA New York Municipal Money Fund. Each
money market fund attempts to maintain a stable price per share of $1.00,
although there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so.
Investments in the money market funds are not insured or guaranteed by
the U.S. government;

o check writing, with no per-check usage charge, no minimum amount on
checks and no maximum number of checks that can be written. RMA
accountholders can code their checks to classify expenditures. All
canceled checks are returned each month;

o Gold MasterCard, with or without a line of credit, which provides RMA
accountholders with direct access to their accounts and can be used with
automatic teller machines worldwide. Purchases on the Gold MasterCard are
debited to the RMA account once monthly, permitting accountholders to
remain invested for a longer period of time;

o 24-hour access to account information through toll-free numbers, and more
detailed personal assistance during business hours from the RMA Service
Center;

o expanded account protection to $50 million in the event of the
liquidation of PaineWebber. This protection does not apply to shares of
the RMA money market funds or the PW Funds because those shares are held
at the transfer agent and not through PaineWebber; and

o automatic direct deposit of checks into your RMA account and automatic
withdrawals from the account.

The annual account fee for an RMA account is $85, which includes the Gold
MasterCard, with an additional fee of $40 if the investor selects an optional
line of credit with the Gold MasterCard.

CONVERSION OF CLASS B SHARES

Class B shares of the Funds will automatically convert to Class A shares,
based on the relative net asset values per share of the two Classes, as of the
close of business on the first Business Day (as defined under 'Valuation of
Shares') of the month in which the sixth anniversary of the initial issuance of
such Class B shares of each Fund occurs. For the purpose of calculating the
holding period required for conversion of Class B shares, the date of initial
issuance shall mean (i) the date on which such Class B shares were issued, or

(ii) for Class B shares obtained through an exchange, or a series of exchanges,
the date on which the original Class B shares were issued. If the shareholder
acquired Class B shares of each Fund through an exchange of Class B shares of a
CDSC Fund that were acquired prior to July 1, 1991, the shareholder's holding
period for purposes of conversion will be determined based on the date the CDSC
Fund shares were initially issued. For purposes of conversion into Class A,
Class B shares purchased through the reinvestment of dividends and other

36
<PAGE>
distributions paid in respect of Class B shares will be held in a separate
sub-account. Each time any Class B shares in the shareholder's regular account
(other than those in the sub-account) convert to Class A, a pro rata portion of
the Class B shares in the sub-account will also convert to Class A. The portion
will be determined by the ratio that the shareholder's Class B shares converting
to Class A bears to the shareholder's total Class B shares not acquired through
dividends and other distributions.

The availability of the conversion feature is subject to (1) the continuing
applicability of a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service that the dividends and
other distributions paid on Class A and Class B shares will not result in
'preferential dividends' under the Internal Revenue Code and (2) the continuing
availability of an opinion of counsel to the effect that the conversion of
shares does not constitute a taxable event. If the conversion feature ceased to
be available, the Class B shares of the Funds would not be converted and would
continue to be subject to the higher ongoing expenses of the Class B shares
beyond six years from the date of purchase. Mitchell Hutchins has no reason to
believe that these conditions for the availability of the conversion feature
will not continue to be met.

VALUATION OF SHARES

The Funds determine their net asset values per share separately for each
Class of shares as of the close of regular trading (currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern
time) on the NYSE on each Business Day, which is defined as each Monday through
Friday when the NYSE is open. Currently the NYSE is closed on the observance of
the following holidays: New Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial
Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

securities for which a broader range of dealer quotations and last-sale
information is available. All investments quoted in foreign currency will be
valued daily in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rate
prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by the Funds' custodian. The
amortized cost method of valuation generally is used to value debt obligations
with 60 days or less remaining until maturity, unless the board of a Fund
determines that this does not represent fair value.

Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined prior to the close
of trading on the NYSE. Occasionally events affecting the value of foreign
investments and such exchange rates occur between the time at which they are
determined and the close of trading on the NYSE, which events would not be
reflected in a computation of the Funds' net asset value on that day. If events
materially affecting the value of such investments or currency exchange rates
occur during such time period, the investments will be valued at their fair
value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of each Fund's board
of trustees. The foreign currency exchange transactions of the Funds conducted
on a spot (that is, cash) basis are valued at the spot rate for purchasing or
selling currency prevailing on the foreign exchange market. This rate under
normal market conditions differs from the prevailing exchange rate in an amount
generally less than one-tenth of one percent due to the costs of converting from
one currency to another.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

The Funds' performance data quoted in advertising and other promotional
materials ('Performance Advertisements') represents past performance and is not
intended to indicate future performance. The investment return and principal
value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

<PAGE>
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Average annual total return quotes
('Standardized Return') used in each Fund's Performance Advertisements are
calculated according to the following formula:

P(1 + T)n = ERV
where: P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000 to purchase
shares of a specified Class
T = average annual total return of shares of that Class
n = number of years
ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000
payment at the beginning of that period.

Under the foregoing formula, the time periods used in Performance
Advertisements will be based on rolling calendar quarters, updated to the last
day of the most recent quarter prior to submission of the advertisement for
publication. Total return, or 'T' in the formula above, is computed by finding
the average annual change in the value of an initial $1,000 investment over the
period. In calculating the ending redeemable value, for Class A shares, the

maximum 4.5% sales charge (4.0% for Global Income Fund) is deducted from the
initial $1,000 payment and, for Class B and Class C shares, the applicable
contingent deferred sales charge imposed on a redemption of Class B or Class C
shares held for the period is deducted. All dividends and other distributions
are assumed to have been reinvested at net asset value.

The Funds also may refer in Performance Advertisements to total return
performance data that are not calculated according to the formula set forth
above ('Non-Standardized Return'). The Funds calculate Non-Standardized Return
for specified periods of time by assuming an investment of $1,000 in Fund shares
and assuming the reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions. The rate
of return is determined by subtracting the initial value of the investment from
the ending value and by dividing the remainder by the initial value. Neither
initial nor contingent deferred sales charges are taken into account in
calculating Non-Standardized Return; the inclusion of those charges would reduce
the return.

Both Standardized Return and Non-Standardized Return for Class B shares for
periods of over six years reflect conversion of the Class B shares to Class A
shares at the end of the sixth year.

The following table shows performance information for the Class A, Class B
and Class C shares of the Funds for the periods indicated. All returns for
periods of more than one year are expressed as an average return.

YIELD. Yields used in Global Income Fund's Performance Advertisements are
calculated by dividing the Fund's interest income attributable to a Class of
shares for a 30-day period ('Period'), net of expenses attributable to such
Class, by the average number of shares of such Class entitled to receive
dividends during the Period and expressing the result as an annualized
percentage (assuming semi-annual compounding) of the maximum offering price per
share (in the case of Class A shares) or the net asset value per share (in the
case of Class B and Class C shares) at the end of the Period. Yield quotations
are calculated according to the following formula:

a-b
YIELD = 2[( --- +1) 6 - 1]
cd

where: a = interest earned during the Period attributable to a Class of shares

b = expenses accrued for the Period attributable to a Class of shares
(net of reimbursements)

c = the average daily number of shares of a Class outstanding during
the Period that were entitled to receive dividends

d = the maximum offering price per share (in the case of Class A
shares) or the net asset value per share (in the case of Class B
and Class C shares) on the last day of the Period.

39
<PAGE>

Except as noted below, in determining interest income earned during the
Period (variable 'a' in the above formula), Global Income Fund calculates
interest earned on each debt obligation held by it during the Period by (1)
computing the obligation's yield to maturity, based on the market value of the
obligation (including actual accrued interest) on the last business day of the
Period or, if the obligation was purchased during the Period, the purchase price
plus accrued interest and (2) dividing the yield to maturity by 360, and
multiplying the resulting quotient by the market value of the obligation
(including actual accrued interest) to determine the interest income on the
obligation for each day of the period that the obligation is in the portfolio.
Once interest earned is calculated in this fashion for each debt obligation held
by the Fund, interest earned during the Period is then determined by totalling
the interest earned on all debt obligations. For purposes of these calculations,
the maturity of an obligation with one or more call provisions is assumed to be
the next date on which the obligation reasonably can be expected to be called
or, if none, the maturity date. With respect to Class A shares, in calculating
the maximum offering price per share at the end of the Period (variable 'd' in
the above formula) the Fund's current maximum 4% initial sales charge on Class A
shares is included. For the 30-day period ended April 30, 1996, the yields for
its Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares were 4.95%, 4.45% and
4.71%, respectively.

OTHER INFORMATION. In Performance Advertisements, the Funds may compare
their Standardized Return and/or their Non-Standardized Return with data
published by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ('Lipper'), CDA Investment
Technologies, Inc. ('CDA'), Wiesenberger Investment Companies Service
('Wiesenberger'), Investment Company Data, Inc. ('ICD') or Morningstar Mutual
Funds ('Morningstar'), with the performance of recognized stock and other
indices, including (but not limited to) the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite
Stock Price Index ('S&P 500'), the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the
International Finance Corporation Global Total Return Index, the Nasdaq
Composite Index, the Russell 2000 Index, the Wilshire 5000 Index, the Lehman
Bond Index, the Lehman Brothers 20+ Year Treasury Bond Index, the Lehman
Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index, 30-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury
bonds, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Perspective Indices, the Morgan
Stanley Capital International Energy Sources Index, the Standard & Poor's Oil
Composite Index, the Salomon Brothers Non-U.S. Dollar Index, the Morgan Stanley
Capital International World Index, the Salomon Brothers Non-U.S. World
Government Bond Index, the Salomon Brothers World Government Index and changes
in the Consumer Price Index as published by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The
Funds also may refer in such materials to mutual fund performance rankings and
other data, such as comparative asset, expense and fee levels, published by
Lipper, CDA, Wiesenberger, ICD or Morningstar. Performance Advertisements also
may refer to discussions of the Funds and comparative mutual fund data and
ratings reported in independent periodicals, including (but not limited to) THE
WALL STREET JOURNAL, MONEY MAGAZINE, FORBES, BUSINESS WEEK, FINANCIAL WORLD,
BARRON'S, FORTUNE, THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, THE WASHINGTON POST
AND THE KIPLINGER LETTERS. Comparisons in Performance Advertisements may be in
graphic form.

The Funds may include discussions or illustrations of the effects of
compounding in Performance Advertisements. 'Compounding' refers to the fact
that, if dividends or other distributions on a Fund investment are reinvested in
additional Fund shares, any future income or capital appreciation of a Fund
would increase the value, not only of the original Fund investment, but also of
the additional Fund shares received through reinvestment. As a result, the value
of a Fund investment would increase more quickly than if dividends or other
distributions had been paid in cash.

The Funds may also compare their performance with the performance of bank
certificates of deposit (CDs) as measured by the CDA Certificate of Deposit
Index, the Bank Rate Monitor National Index and the averages of yields of CDs of
major banks published by Banxquote(Registered) Money Markets. In comparing the
Funds' performance to CD performance, investors should keep in mind that bank
CDs are insured in whole or in part by an agency of the U.S. government and
offer fixed principal and fixed or variable rates of interest, and that bank CD
yields may vary depending on the financial institution offering the CD and
prevailing interest rates. Shares of the Funds are not insured or guaranteed by
the U.S. government and returns and net asset values will fluctuate. The debt
securities held by the Funds generally have longer maturities than most CDs and
may reflect interest rate fluctuations for longer term debt securities. An

investment in any of the Funds involves greater risks than an investment in
either a money market fund or a CD.

Each Fund may also compare its performance to general trends in the stock
and bond markets, as illustrated by the following graph prepared by Ibbotson

The chart is shown for illustrative purposes only and does not represent any
Fund's performance. These returns consist of income, capital appreciation (or
depreciation), and should not be considered an indication or guarantee of future
investments results. Year-to-year fluctuations in certain markets have been
significant and negative returns have been experienced in certain markets from
time to time. Stocks are measured by the S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged weighted
index comprising 500 widely held common stock and varying in composition. Unlike
investors in bonds and Treasury bills, common stock investors do not receive
fixed income payments and are not entitled to repayment of principal. These
differences contribute to investment risk. Returns shown for long-term
government bonds are based on Treasury bonds with 20-year maturities. Inflation
is measured by the Consumer Price Index. The indexes are unmanaged and are not
available for investment.

Over time, stocks have outperformed all other investments by a wide margin,
offering a solid hedge against inflation. From 1926 to 1995, stocks beat all
other traditional asset classes. A $10 investment in the S&P 500 grew to
$10,507, significantly more than any other investment.

(including gains from options, futures or forward contracts) derived with
respect to its business of investing in securities or those currencies ('Income
Requirement'); (2) the Fund must derive less than 30% of its gross income each
taxable year from the sale or other disposition of securities, or any of the
following, that were held for less than three months--options, futures or
forward contracts (other than those on foreign currencies), or foreign
currencies (or options, futures or forward contracts thereon) that are not
directly related to the Fund's principal business of investing in securities (or
options and futures with respect to securities) ('Short-Short Limitation'); (3)
at the close of each quarter of the Fund's taxable year, at least 50% of the
value of its total assets must be represented by cash and cash items, U.S.
government securities, securities of other RICs and other securities, with these
other securities limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount that does
not exceed 5% of the value of that Fund's total assets and that does not
represent more than 10% of the issuer's outstanding voting securities; and (4)
at the close of each quarter of the Fund's taxable year, not more than 25% of
the value of its total assets may be invested in securities (other than U.S.
government securities or the securities of other RICs) of any one issuer.

Dividends and other distributions declared by a Fund in October, November
or December of any year and payable to shareholders of record on a date in any
of those months will be deemed to have been paid by the Fund and received by the
shareholders on December 31 of that year if the distributions are paid by the
Fund during the following January. Accordingly, those distributions will be
taxed to shareholders for the year in which that December 31 falls.

A portion of the dividends from each Fund's investment company taxable
income (whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional Fund shares) may be
eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations. The
eligible portion may not exceed the aggregate dividends received by each Fund
from U.S. corporations. However, dividends received by a corporate shareholder
and deducted by it pursuant to the dividends-received deduction are subject
indirectly to the alternative minimum tax.

If shares of a Fund are sold at a loss after being held for six months or
less, the loss will be treated as long-term, instead of short-term, capital loss
to the extent of any capital gain distributions received on those shares.

Investors also should be aware that if shares are purchased shortly before
the record date for any dividend or capital gain distribution, the shareholder
will pay full price for the shares and receive some portion of the price back as
a taxable distribution.

file an election with the Internal Revenue Service that will enable its
shareholders, in effect, to receive the benefit of the foreign tax credit with
respect to any foreign taxes paid by it. Pursuant to the election, the Fund
would treat those taxes as dividends paid to its shareholders and each
shareholder would be required to (1) include in gross income, and treat as paid
by him or her, his or her proportionate share of those taxes; (2) treat his or
her share of those taxes and of any dividend paid by the Fund that represents
income from foreign or U.S. possessions sources as his or her own income from
those sources; and (3) either deduct the taxes deemed paid by him or her in
computing his or her taxable income or, alternatively, use the foregoing
information in calculating the foreign tax credit against his or her federal
income tax. A Fund will report to its shareholders shortly after each taxable
year their respective shares of the Fund's foreign taxes and income from sources
within, and taxes paid to, foreign countries and U.S. possessions if it makes
this election.

Each Fund will be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax ('Excise Tax')
to the extent it fails to distribute by the end of any calendar year
substantially all of its ordinary income for that year and capital gain net
income for the one-year period ending on October 31 of that year, plus certain
other amounts.

Each Fund may invest in the stock of 'passive foreign investment companies'
('PFICs') if such stock is a permissible investment. A PFIC is a foreign
corporation that, in general, meets either of the following tests: (1) at least
75% of its gross income is passive or (2) an average of at least 50% of its
assets produce, or are held

42
<PAGE>

for the production of, passive income. Under certain circumstances, a Fund will
be subject to federal income tax on a portion of any 'excess distribution'
received on the stock of a PFIC or of any gain from disposition of such stock
(collectively 'PFIC income'), plus interest thereon, even if the Fund
distributes the PFIC income as a taxable dividend to its shareholders. The
balance of the PFIC income will be included in the Fund's investment company
taxable income and, accordingly, will not be taxable to it to the extent that
income is distributed to its shareholders. If a Fund invests in a PFIC and
elects to treat the PFIC as a 'qualified electing fund' ('QEF'), then in lieu of
the foregoing tax and interest obligation, the Fund will be required to include
in income each year its pro rata share of the QEF's annual ordinary earnings and
net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term
capital loss)--which may have to be distributed by the Fund to satisfy the
Distribution Requirement and avoid imposition of the Excise Tax--even if those
earnings and gain are not distributed to the Fund by the QEF. In most instances
it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to make this election because of
certain requirements thereof.

year the excess, as of the end of that year, of the fair market value of each
such PFIC's stock over the owner's adjusted basis in that stock (including
mark-to-market gain for each prior year for which an election was in effect).

The use of hedging strategies, such as writing (selling) and purchasing
options and futures contracts, and entering into forward currency contracts,
involves complex rules that will determine for income tax purposes the character
and timing of recognition of the gains and losses a Fund realizes in connection
therewith. Gains from the disposition of foreign currencies (except certain
gains that may be excluded by future regulations), and gains from options,
futures and forward currency contracts derived by a Fund with respect to its
business of investing in securities or foreign currencies, will qualify as
permissible income under the Income Requirement. However, income from the
disposition of options and futures contracts (other than those on foreign
currencies) will be subject to the Short-Short Limitation if they are held for
less than three months. Income from the disposition of foreign currencies, and
options, futures and forward contracts on foreign currencies, also will be
subject to the Short-Short Limitation if they are held for less than three
months and are not directly related to a Fund's principal business of investing
in securities (or options and futures with respect to securities).

If a Fund satisfies certain requirements, any increase in value of a
position that is part of a 'designated hedge' will be offset by any decrease in
value (whether realized or not) of the offsetting hedging position during the
period of the hedge for purposes of determining whether the Fund satisfies the
Short-Short Limitation. Thus, only the net gain (if any) from the designated
hedge will be included in gross income for purposes of that limitation. Each
Fund will consider whether it should seek to qualify for this treatment for its
hedging transactions. To the extent a Fund does not qualify for this treatment,
it may be forced to defer the closing out of certain options, futures, and
forward currency contracts and/or foreign currency positions beyond the time
when it otherwise would be advantageous to do so, in order for the Fund to
continue to qualify as a RIC.

Global Income Fund may acquire zero coupon U.S. Treasury securities issued
with original issue discount. As a holder of such securities, the Fund must
include in its gross income the portion of the original issue discount that
accrues on the securities during the taxable year, even if the Fund receives no
corresponding payment on them during the year. Because the Fund annually must
distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including
any accrued original issue discount, to satisfy the Distribution Requirement and
avoid imposition of the Excise Tax, it may be required in a particular year to
distribute as a dividend an amount that is greater than the total amount of cash
it actually receives. Those distributions will be made from the Fund's cash
assets or from the proceeds of sales of portfolio securities, if necessary. The
Fund may realize capital gains or losses from those sales, which would increase
or decrease its investment company taxable income and/or net capital gain. In
addition, any such gains may be realized on the disposition of securities held
for less than three months. Because of the Short-Short Limitation, any such

gains would reduce the Fund's ability to sell other securities, or certain
options, futures, forward currency contracts or foreign currency positions, held
for less than three months that it might wish to sell in the ordinary course of
its portfolio management.

OTHER INFORMATION

Each Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a 'Massachusetts
business trust.' Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of a Fund could, under
certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the
Trust or Fund. However, each Trust's Declaration of Trust disclaims shareholder
liability for acts or obligations of the Trust or the Fund and requires that
notice of such disclaimer be given in each note, bond, contract, instrument,
certificate or undertaking made or issued by the trustees or by any officers or
officer by or on behalf of the Trust or the Fund, the trustees or any of them in
connection with the Trust. The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification
from the Fund's property for all losses and expenses of any shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the Fund. Thus, the risk of a
shareholder's incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is
limited to circumstances in which the Fund itself would be unable to meet its
obligations, a possibility that Mitchell Hutchins believes is remote and not
material. Upon payment of any liability incurred by a shareholder solely by
reason of being or having been a shareholder, the shareholder paying such
liability will be entitled to reimbursement from the general assets of the Fund.
The trustees intend to conduct the Fund's operations in such a way as to avoid,
as far as possible, ultimate liability of the shareholders for liabilities of
the Fund.

Prior to November 1, 1995, the name of Emerging Markets Equity Fund was
'Mitchell Hutchins/Kidder Peabody Emerging Markets Equity Fund.' Prior to
February 13, 1995, the name of the Fund was 'Kidder, Peabody Emerging Markets
Equity Fund.' Prior to November 10, 1995, the Fund's Class C shares were called
'Class B' shares. New Class B shares were not offered prior to December 5, 1995.

Prior to August 25, 1995, the name of Global Equity Fund was 'Mitchell
Hutchins/Kidder, Peabody Global Equity Fund.' Prior to November 10, 1995, the
Fund's Class B shares were known as 'Class E' shares and its Class C shares were
known as 'Class B' shares.

Prior to July 1, 1991, the name of Global Income Fund was 'PaineWebber
Master Global Income Fund.' Prior to November 10, 1995, the Fund's Class C
shares were known as 'Class D' shares.

by Class A or Class C shares. The higher fee is imposed due to the higher costs
incurred by the transfer agent in tracking shares subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge because, upon redemption, the duration of the
shareholder's investment must be determined in order to determine the applicable
charge. Moreover, the tracking and calculations required by the automatic
conversion feature of the Class B shares will cause the transfer agent to incur
additional costs. Although the transfer agency fee will differ on a per account
basis as stated above, the specific extent to which the transfer agency fees
will differ between the Classes as a percentage of net assets is not certain,
because the fee as a percentage of net assets will be affected by the number of
shareholder accounts in each Class and the relative amounts of net assets in
each Class.

APPENDIX

DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S CORPORATE BOND RATINGS

AAA. Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They
carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as a
'gilt edged.' Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally
stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are
likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair
the fundamentally strong position of such issues; AA. Bonds which are rated Aa
are judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the Aaa group
they comprise what are generally known as high grade bonds. They are rated lower
than the best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa
securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or
there may be other elements present which make the long term risks appear
somewhat larger than in Aaa securities; A. Bonds which are rated A possess many
favorable investment attributes and are to be considered as upper medium-grade
obligations. Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered
adequate but elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to
impairment sometime in the future; BAA. Bonds which are rated Baa are considered
as medium-grade obligations, i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly
secured. Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the
present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be
characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack
outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have speculative
characteristics as well; BA. Bonds which are rated Ba are judged to have
speculative elements; their future cannot be considered as well assured. Often
the protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and
thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future.
Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class; B. Bonds which are
rated B generally lack characteristics of the desirable investment. Assurance of
interest and principal payments or of maintenance of other terms of the contract
over any long period of time may be small; CAA. Bonds which are rated Caa are of
poor standing. Such issues may be in default or there may be present elements of
danger with respect to principal or interest; CA. Bonds which are rated Ca
represent obligations which are speculative in a high degree. Such issues are
often in default or have other marked shortcomings; C. Bonds which are rated C
are the lowest rated class of bonds and issues so rated can be regarded as
having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing.

Note: Moody's applies numerical modifiers, 1, 2 and 3 in each generic
rating classification from AA through B in its corporate bond rating system. The
modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks in the higher end of its generic
rating category, the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking, and the modifier
3 indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of its generic rating
category.

DESCRIPTION OF S&P CORPORATE DEBT RATINGS

AAA. An obligation rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by S&P. The

obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is
extremely strong; AA. An obligation rated AA differs from the higher rated
issues only in small degree; A. An obligation rated A is somewhat more
susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic
conditions than obligations in higher rated categories. However, the obligor's
capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still strong;
BBB. An obligation rated BBB exhibits adequate protection parameters. However,
adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to
a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation; BB, B, CCC, CC, C. Obligations rated BB, B, CCC, CC and C are
regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. BB indicates the
lowest degree of speculation and C the highest. While such debt will likely have
some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large
uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions; BB. An obligation rated
BB is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it
faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or
economic conditions which could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to
meet its financial commitment on the obligation; B. An obligation rated B is
more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated BB, but the obligor
currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the
obligor's capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation; CCC. An obligation rated CCC is currently

A-1
<PAGE>
vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial and
economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the
obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions,
the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitment
on the obligation; CC. An obligation rated CC is currently highly vulnerable to
nonpayment; C. The C rating may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy
petition has been filed or similar action has been taken, but payments on this
obligation are being continued; D. An obligation rated D is in payment default.
The D rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the
date due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P
believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The D rating
also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a
similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

Plus (+) or Minus (-): The ratings from 'AA' to 'CCC' may be modified by
the addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major
rating categories.

THE FUNDS AT A GLANCE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EMERGING MARKETS EQUITY FUND

GOAL: To increase the value of your investment by investing primarily in equity
securities of companies in newly industrializing countries.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: Long-term capital appreciation.

SIZE: On September 30, 1996, the Fund had over $38.0 million in net assets.

GLOBAL EQUITY FUND

GOAL: To increase the value of your investment by investing primarily in equity
securities of U.S. and foreign companies.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: Long-term growth of capital.

economic developments abroad and differing characteristics of foreign economies
and markets. Most of the foreign securities held by the Fund are denominated in
foreign currencies, and the value of these investments thus can be adversely
affected by fluctuations in foreign currency values. The Fund may use
derivatives, such as options, futures and forward currency contracts, which may
involve additional risks. Investors may lose money by investing in the Fund; the
investment is not guaranteed.

SIZE: On September 30, 1996, the Fund had over $566.8 million in net assets.

GLOBAL INCOME FUND

GOAL: To provide high current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation by
investing primarily in high quality foreign and U.S. bonds.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The primary investment objective is high current income
consistent with prudent investment risk; capital appreciation is a secondary
objective.

RISKS: The Fund invests primarily in bonds, which are subject to interest rate
and credit risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that interest rates will rise
and bond prices will fall, lowering the value of the Fund's investments. Credit
risk is the risk that adverse changes in economic conditions will affect an
issuer's ability to pay interest and principal. Investors in the Fund should be
able to assume the special risks of investing in foreign securities, which
include possible adverse political, social and economic developments abroad and
differing characteristics of foreign economies and markets. These risks are
greater with respect to securities of issuers located in emerging markets, in
which the Fund may invest. Most of the foreign securities held by the Fund are
denominated in foreign currencies, and the value of these investments thus can
be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency values. Certain
investment grade bonds in which the Fund may invest have speculative
characteristics. The Fund may also invest in bonds rated below investment
grade, which are subject to greater risks of default or price fluctuation than
investment grade bonds and are considered predominantly speculative. The

Fund may use derivatives, such as options, futures, forward currency contracts

and interest rate protection transactions, which may involve additional risks.
As a non-diversified fund as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940
('1940 Act'), the Fund is subject to greater risk than funds that have a broader
range of investments. Investors may lose money by investing in the Fund; the
investment is not guaranteed.

SIZE: On September 30, 1996, the Fund had over $937.2 million in net assets.

MANAGEMENT

WHO SHOULD INVEST

GLOBAL EQUITY FUND is for investors who want long-term growth of capital. The
Fund seeks to achieve this by investing primarily in equity securities of U.S.
and foreign companies. Over time, foreign stocks have shown greater growth
potential than many other types of securities. However, because their value
tends to fluctuate more than that of U.S. stocks, investors must be willing to
tolerate volatility in the value of the Fund's investments. Accordingly, Global
Equity Fund is designed for investors who are able to bear the risk that comes
with investments in foreign equity securities.
GLOBAL INCOME FUND is for investors who want high current income consistent with
prudent investment risk and, secondarily, capital appreciation. The Fund seeks
to achieve this by investing primarily in high quality debt securities issued or
guaranteed by foreign governments, by the U.S. government, by their respective
agencies or instrumentalities or by supranational organizations, or issued by
foreign or U.S. companies. Investors in the Fund should be willing to assume the
special risks of investing in foreign securities, which include possible adverse
political, social and economic developments abroad and differing characteristics
of foreign economies and markets. Accordingly, Global Income Fund is designed
for investors who are able to bear the risk that comes with investments in

foreign securities.

HOW TO PURCHASE CLASS Y SHARES

Eligible investors may purchase Class Y shares of the Funds as follows:

The price is the net asset value next calculated after PaineWebber's New York
City headquarters or the Transfer Agent receives the purchase order.

The following tables provide investors with data and ratios for one Class Y
share for each of the periods shown. This information is supplemented by the

GLOBAL EQUITY FUND

First, the International Equity Team carefully screens a universe of thousands
of global stocks by comparing each company's price-to-earnings ratio with its

long-term growth. This evaluation helps eliminate companies whose stock prices
are too expensive, typically resulting in a list of several hundred stocks.
Next, this smaller group of stocks is rigorously analyzed by the International
Equity Team's experienced investment professionals. This step, which is designed
to determine whether a stock's price reflects its true value and whether the
market may eventually recognize the stock's value, reduces the universe to fewer
stocks.

The strength of the Team's conviction about each company is part of what
determines the size of each holding.

GLOBAL INCOME FUND

Global Income Fund's investment policies are designed to enable it to capitalize
on unique investment opportunities presented throughout the world and in
international financial markets influenced by the increasing interdependence of
economic cycles and currency exchange rates. Over the past decade, debt
securities offered by certain foreign governments provided higher investment
returns than U.S. government debt securities. Such returns reflect interest
rates and other market conditions prevailing in those countries and the effect
of gains and losses in the denominated currencies, which have had a substantial
impact on investment in foreign debt securities. As of December 31, 1995, more
than 65% of the Salomon Brothers World Government Bond Market Index was
represented by securities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

The Funds perform a standardized computation of annualized total return and may
show this return in advertisements or promotional materials. Standardized return
shows the change in value of an investment in a Fund as a steady compound annual
rate of return. Actual year-by-year returns fluctuate and may be higher or lower
than standardized return. One-, five- and ten-year periods will be shown, unless
the Fund or Class has been in existence for a shorter period. If so, returns
will be shown for the period since inception, known as "Life." Total return
calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and other distributions.

THE FUNDS' INVESTMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preferred stock has certain fixed-income features, like a bond, but is actually
equity in a company, like common stock. Convertible securities may include
debentures, notes and preferred equity securities, which are convertible into
common stock.

RISKS

Following is a discussion of the risks that are common to each Fund:

BONDS. Bonds are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. Interest rate
risk is the risk that interest rates will rise and bond prices will fall,
lowering the value of the Fund's bond investments. Credit risk is the risk that
adverse changes in economic conditions can affect an issuer's ability to pay
principal and interest. In addition, there is a risk that bonds will be
downgraded by rating agencies. Credit ratings attempt to evaluate the safety or
principal and interest payments and do not evaluate the volatility of the
security's value or its liquidity. Rating agencies may fail to make timely
changes in credit ratings in response to subsequent events, so that an issuer's
current financial condition may be better or worse than the rating indicates.
FOREIGN SECURITIES. Investing in foreign securities involves more risks than
investing in securities of U.S. companies. Their value is subject to economic
and political developments in the countries where the companies operate and to

changes in foreign currency values. Values may also be affected by foreign tax
laws, changes in foreign economic or monetary policies, exchange control
regulations and regulations involving prohibitions on the repatriation of
foreign currencies. Investments in foreign countries could be affected by other
factors not present in the United States, including expropriation, confiscatory
taxation, lack of uniform accounting and auditing standards and potential
difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations and could be subject to
extended clearance and settlement periods.

In general, less information may be available about foreign companies than about
U.S. companies, and foreign companies are generally not subject to the same
accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards as are U.S. companies.
Foreign securities markets may be less liquid and subject to less regulation
than the U.S. securities markets. The costs of investing outside the United
States frequently are higher than those in the United States. These costs
include relatively higher brokerage commissions and foreign custody expenses.

supply and demand in the foreign exchange markets and the relative merits of
investments in different countries. Currency exchange rates can also be affected
by the intervention of the U.S. and foreign governments or central banks, the
imposition of currency controls or other political developments inside and
outside the United States.

DERIVATIVES. Some of the instruments in which the Funds may invest may be

referred to as 'derivatives,' because their value depends on (or 'derives' from)
the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. These instruments
include options, futures contracts, foreign currency contracts, interest rate
protection contracts and similar instruments that may be used in hedging and
related strategies. There is only limited consensus as to what constitutes a
'derivative' security. The market value of derivative instruments and securities
sometimes is more volatile than that of other investments, and each type of
derivative instrument may pose its own special risks. Mitchell Hutchins and the
Sub-Advisers take these risks into account in the management of the Funds.

In addition to these general risks, investments in each Fund are subject to
special risk considerations:

assets.

GLOBAL INCOME FUND

The foreign government securities in which the Fund may invest generally consist
of obligations supported by national, state or provincial governments or similar

PaineWebber Emerging Markets Equity Fund Global Equity Fund

political subdivisions. Investments in foreign government debt securities
involve special risks. The issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities
that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to pay
interest or repay principal when due in accordance with the terms of such debt,
and the Fund may have limited legal recourse in the event of default. Political
conditions, especially a sovereign entity's willingness to meet the terms of its
debt obligations, are of considerable significance.

of a single issuer. To the extent that the Fund's portfolio at times may include
the securities of a smaller number of issuers than if it were 'diversified' (as
defined in the 1940 Act), the Fund will at such times be subject to greater risk
with respect to its portfolio securities than an investment company that invests
in a broader range of securities, in that changes in the financial condition or
market assessment of a single issuer may cause greater fluctuation in the Fund's
total return and the price of Fund shares.

INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES AND STRATEGIES

HEDGING AND RELATED STRATEGIES. Each Fund may use certain strategies designed
to adjust the overall risk of its investment portfolio. These 'hedging'
strategies involve derivative contracts, including options (on securities,
foreign currencies, futures contracts and stock indexes) and futures contracts
(on foreign currencies, stock indexes and interest rates), and forward currency
contracts. Global Income Fund may also use these strategies to attempt to
enhance income; the use of such strategies solely to enhance income may be
considered a form of speculation. Global Income Fund also may enter into
interest rate swap agreements and certain other interest rate protection
transactions to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or
portion of its portfolio or to protect

against an increase in the price of securities the Fund anticipates purchasing
at a later date. New financial products and risk management techniques continue
to be developed and may be used if consistent with the Funds' investment
objectives and policies. The Statement of Additional Information for the Funds
contains further information on these strategies.

o the fact that the skills needed to use hedging instruments are different from
those needed to select securities for the Funds;

o the possibility of imperfect correlation, or even no correlation, between
price movements of hedging instruments and price movements of the securities
or currencies being hedged;

o possible constraints placed on a Fund's ability to purchase or sell portfolio
investments at advantageous times due to the need for the Fund to maintain
'cover' or to segregate securities; and

o the possibility that a Fund is unable to close out or liquidate its hedged
position.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER. Each Fund's portfolio turnover rate may vary greatly from
year to year and will not be a limiting factor when Mitchell Hutchins or a sub-
adviser deems portfolio changes appropriate. A higher turnover rate (100% or
higher) for a Fund will involve correspondingly greater transaction costs, which
will be borne directly by the Fund, and may increase the potential for
short-term capital gains.

HOW TO BUY SHARES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Class Y shares are sold to eligible investors at the net asset value next
determined after the purchase order is received at PaineWebber's New York City
headquarters or by PFPC Inc., the Funds' transfer agent ('Transfer Agent'). No
initial or contingent deferred sales charge is imposed, nor are Class Y shares
subject to rule 12b-1 distribution or service fees. The Funds and Mitchell
Hutchins reserve the right to reject any purchase order and to suspend the
offering of Class Y shares for a period of time. Mitchell Hutchins, the
distributor for each Fund's Class Y shares, has appointed PaineWebber to serve
as the exclusive dealer for each Fund's Class Y shares.

INSIGHT

An investor who purchases $50,000 or more of shares of the mutual funds that are
available to INSIGHT participants (which include the PaineWebber mutual funds in
the Flexible Pricing(Service Mark) System and certain other specified mutual
funds) may take part in INSIGHT, a total portfolio asset allocation program
sponsored by PaineWebber, and thus become eligible to purchase Class Y shares.
INSIGHT offers comprehensive investment services, including a personalized asset
allocation investment strategy using an appropriate combination of funds,
monitoring of investment performance and comprehensive quarterly reports that
cover market trends, portfolio summaries and personalized account information.

Participation in INSIGHT is subject to payment of an advisory fee to PaineWebber
at the maximum annual rate of 1.5% of assets held through the program (generally
charged quarterly in advance), which covers all INSIGHT investment advisory
services and program administration fees. Employees of PaineWebber and its
affiliates are entitled to a 50% reduction in the fee otherwise payable for
participation in INSIGHT. INSIGHT clients may elect to have their INSIGHT fees
charged to their PaineWebber accounts (by the automatic redemption of money
market fund shares) or, if a qualified plan, invoiced.

Please contact your PaineWebber investment executive or PaineWebber
correspondent firm or call 1-800-647-1568 for more information concerning mutual
funds that are available to INSIGHT participants or for other INSIGHT program
information.

ACQUISITION OF CLASS Y SHARES BY OTHERS

Present holders of Class Y shares of a former Mitchell Hutchins/Kidder, Peabody
('MH/KP') mutual fund who are not current INSIGHT participants may acquire Class
Y shares of a Fund only when those shares are issued in connection with the
reorganization of the MH/KP mutual fund into that Fund. This category includes
former employees of Kidder, Peabody & Co., Incorporated ('Kidder, Peabody'),
their associated accounts, present and former directors and trustees of the
MH/KP mutual funds.

Dividends and other distributions on Class Y shares of a Fund issued in
connection with the reorganization will be paid in additional Class Y shares at
net asset value, unless the shareholder has requested cash payments. These
holders may not otherwise purchase additional Class Y shares.

In addition, the following investors are eligible to buy Class Y shares of
Global Equity Fund and Global Income Fund:

o an investor who buys $10 million or more at any one time in any combination of
PaineWebber mutual funds in the Flexible Pricing(SM) System;

o an investment company advised by PaineWebber or an affiliate of PaineWebber.

Each Fund is authorized to offer Class Y shares to certain other investment
advisory programs that are sponsored by PaineWebber and that may invest in
PaineWebber mutual funds. At present, however, INSIGHT participants are the only
purchasers in this category.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO SELL SHARES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Class Y shares may be sold (redeemed) at their net asset value and proceeds from
the sales of shares will be paid after receipt of a request to sell shares, as
described below.

SALES THROUGH PAINEWEBBER OR CORRESPONDENT FIRMS

INSIGHT participants who are Class Y shareholders may submit requests to sell
shares to their investment executives or correspondent firms in person or by
telephone, mail or wire. As agent for the Funds, PaineWebber may honor a request
to sell shares by repurchasing Class Y shares from a selling shareholder at the
shares' net asset value next determined after receipt of the request by
PaineWebber's New York City headquarters. Within three Business Days after
receipt of the request, repurchase proceeds will be paid by check or credited to
the shareholder's brokerage account at the election of the shareholder.
PaineWebber investment executives and correspondent firms are responsible for
promptly forwarding requests to sell shares to PaineWebber's New York City
headquarters. A 'Business Day' is any day, Monday through Friday, on which the
New York Stock Exchange is open for business.

PaineWebber reserves the right not to honor any request to sell shares, in which
case PaineWebber promptly will forward the request to the Transfer Agent for
treatment as described below.

SALES THROUGH THE TRANSFER AGENT

Shareholders also may sell Fund shares through the Transfer Agent. Shareholders
should mail requests to sell shares directly to the Transfer Agent: PFPC Inc.,
Attn: PaineWebber Mutual Funds, P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington, Delaware 19899. A
request to sell shares will be executed at the net asset value next computed
after it is received in 'good order,' and proceeds from the sale will be paid
within seven days of the receipt of the request.

'Good order' means that the request must be accompanied by the following: (1) a
letter of instruction or a stock assignment specifying the number of shares or
amount of investment to be sold (or that all shares credited to the Fund account
be sold), signed by all registered owners of the shares in the exact names in
which they are registered, (2) a guarantee of the signature of each registered
owner by an eligible institution acceptable to the Transfer Agent and in
accordance with SEC rules, such as a commercial bank, trust company or member of
a recognized stock exchange, (3) other supporting legal documents for estates,
trusts, guardianships, custodianships, partnerships and corporations and (4)
duly endorsed share certificates, if any. Shareholders are responsible for
ensuring that a request to sell shares is received in 'good order.'

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON SALES

A shareholder may have proceeds from the sale of shares of $1 million or more
wired to the shareholder's PaineWebber brokerage account or a commercial bank
account designated by the shareholder. Questions about this option, or sale
requirements generally, should be referred to the shareholder's investment
executive at PaineWebber or one of its correspondent firms. If a shareholder
wants to sell shares which were purchased recently, a Fund may delay payment
until it is assured that good payment has been received. In the case of
purchases by check, this can take up to 15 days.

of each Fund's board. The amortized cost method of valuation generally is used
to value debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining to maturity, unless the
board determines that this does not represent fair value. Investments
denominated in foreign currencies are valued daily in U.S. dollars based on the
then-prevailing exchange rates. It should be

recognized that judgment plays a greater role in valuing lower rated debt
securities in which a Fund may invest, because there is less reliable, objective
data available.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIVIDENDS & TAXES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIVIDENDS

Emerging Markets Equity Fund and Global Equity Fund each pays an annual dividend
from its net investment income and net short-term capital gain, if any. Each of
these Funds distributes any net realized gain from foreign currency transactions
with its dividend. Global Income Fund declares monthly dividends from its net
investment income, which may be accompanied by distributions of net realized
short-term capital gains and net realized gains from foreign currency
transactions. Each Fund also distributes annually substantially all of its net
capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term
capital loss), if any, which distribution, in the case of Global Income Fund, is
accompanied by any undistributed net realized short-term capital gains and
foreign currency gains. The Funds may make additional distributions, if
necessary, to avoid a 4% excise tax on certain undistributed income and capital
gain.

Dividends and other distributions paid on Class Y shares of each Fund are
calculated at the same time and in the same manner as dividends and other
distributions on other classes of the Fund's shares.

one of its correspondent firms or complete the appropriate section of the
account application. For PW SIP participants, the Fund's Class Y dividends and
other distributions are paid in additional Class Y shares at net asset value
unless the Transfer Agent is instructed otherwise.

TAXES

YEAR-END TAX REPORTING

WITHHOLDING REQUIREMENTS

TAXES ON THE SALE OR EXCHANGE OF FUND SHARES

When shareholders sell (redeem) shares, it may result in a taxable gain or
loss. This depends upon whether the shareholders receive more or less than their
adjusted basis for the shares. An exchange of any Fund's shares for shares of
another PaineWebber mutual fund generally will have similar tax consequences. In
addition, if a Fund's shares are bought within 30 days before or after selling
other shares of the Fund (regardless of class) at a loss, all or a portion of

that loss will not be deductible and will increase the basis of the newly
purchased shares.

Qualified profit-sharing plans such as the PW SIP generally pay no federal
income tax. Individual participants in the PW SIP should consult the plan
documents and their own advisers for information on the tax consequences
associated with participating in the PW SIP.

* * * *

Because the foregoing only summarizes some of the important tax considerations
affecting the Funds and their shareholders, the Statement of Additional
Information contains more detail. There may be other federal, state, local or
foreign tax considerations applicable to a particular investor. Accordingly,
prospective shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisers.

GLOBAL INCOME FUND

Each share of each Fund is entitled to participate equally in dividends, other
distributions and the proceeds of any liquidation of that Fund. However, due to
the differing expenses of the classes, dividends on Class B and Class C shares
are likely to be lower than for Class A shares and dividends on Class A, Class B
and Class C shares are likely to be lower than for Class Y shares, which bear
the lowest expenses.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS

The following supplements the information contained in the Prospectus
concerning the Funds' investment policies and limitations.

YIELD FACTORS AND RATINGS. Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ('Moody's'),
Standard & Poor's, a division of The McGraw Hill Companies ('S&P') and other

nationally recognized statistical rating organizations ('NRSROs') are private
services that provide ratings of the credit quality of debt obligations. A
description of the ratings assigned to corporate debt obligations by Moody's and
S&P is included in the Appendix to this Statement of Additional Information. The
Funds may use these ratings in determining whether to purchase, sell or hold a
security. It should be emphasized, however, that ratings are general and are not
absolute standards of quality. Consequently, securities with the same maturity,
interest rate and rating may have different market prices.

<PAGE>

available to them and may be unable to repay debt at maturity by refinancing.
The risk of loss due to default by such issuers is significantly greater because
such securities frequently are unsecured and subordinated to the prior payment
of senior indebtedness.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO FOREIGN SECURITIES. Investments in foreign
securities involve risks relating to political, social and economic developments

abroad, as well as risks resulting from the differences between the regulations
to which U.S. and foreign issuers and markets are subject. These risks may
include expropriation, confiscatory taxation, withholding taxes on interest
and/or dividends, limitations on the use of or transfer of Fund assets and
political or social instability or diplomatic developments. Moreover, individual
foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in
such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital
reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position.
Securities of many foreign companies may be less liquid and their prices more
volatile than securities of comparable U.S. companies. While the Funds generally
invest only in securities that are traded on recognized exchanges or in
over-the-counter markets, from time to time foreign securities may be difficult
to liquidate rapidly without significantly depressing the price of such
securities. There may be less publicly available information concerning foreign
issuers of securities held by the Funds than is available concerning U.S.
companies. Transactions in foreign securities may be subject to less efficient
settlement practices. Foreign securities trading practices, including those
involving securities settlement where Fund assets may be released prior to
receipt of payment, may expose the Funds to increased risk in the event of a
failed trade or the insolvency of a foreign broker-dealer. Legal remedies for
defaults and disputes may have to be pursued in foreign courts, whose procedures
differ substantially from those of U.S. courts.

Transactions on foreign exchanges are usually subject to fixed commissions that

<PAGE>

are generally higher than negotiated commissions on U.S. transactions, although
each Fund will endeavor to achieve the best net results in effecting its
portfolio transactions. There is generally less government supervision and
regulation of exchanges and brokers in foreign countries than in the United
States.

adversely affect its exports. Such events could diminish a country's trade
account surplus, if any, or the credit standing of a particular local government
or agency.

The occurrence of political, social or diplomatic changes in one or more of
the countries issuing Sovereign Debt could adversely affect the Funds'
investments. Political changes or a deterioration of a country's domestic
economy or balance of trade may affect the willingness of countries to service
their Sovereign Debt. While Mitchell Hutchins and the Sub-Advisers manage the
Funds' portfolios in a manner that is intended to minimize the exposure to such
risks, there can be no assurance that adverse political changes will not cause
the Funds to suffer a loss of interest or principal on any of its holdings.

<PAGE>

be held by the Funds are instruments that are supported by the full faith and
credit of the United States; instruments that are supported by the right of the
issuer to borrow from the United States Treasury; and instruments that are
supported solely by the credit of the instrumentality.

agency guarantees the payment of the interest on and principal of these
securities. The guarantees do not extend to the securities' market value,
however, which is likely to vary inversely with fluctuations in interst rates,
and the guarantees do not extend to the yield or value of the Fund's shares.
These securities are 'pass-through' instruments through which the holders
receive a share of the interest and principal payments from the mortgages
underlying the securities, net of certain fees. The principal amounts of such
underlying mortgages generally may be prepaid in whole or in part by the
mortgagees at any time without penalty, and the prepayment characteristics of
the underlying mortgages may vary. During periods of declining interest rates,
prepayment of mortgages underlying mortgage-backed securities can be expected to
accelerate. The Fund will reinvest prepaid amounts in other income producing
securities, the yields of which will reflect interest rates prevailing at the
time. Accelerated prepayments adversely affect yields for mortgage-backed
securities purchased by the Fund at a premium and may involve additional risk of
loss of principal because the premium may not have been fully amortized at the
time the obligation is prepaid. The opposite is true for mortgage-backed
securities purchased by the Fund at a discount.

obligations of domestic banks, including foreign economic and political
developments outside the United States, foreign governmental restrictions that
may adversely affect payment of principal and interest on the obligations,
foreign exchange controls and foreign withholding or other taxes on income.
Foreign branches of domestic banks are not necessarily subject to the same or
similiar regulatory requirements that apply to foreign banks, such as mandatory
reserve requirements, loan limitations and accounting, auditing and financial
recordkeeping requirements. In addition, less information may be publicly
available about a foreign branch of a domestic bank than about a domestic bank.

ILLIQUID SECURITIES. Global Equity Fund and Global Income Fund each may
invest up to 10% of its net assets, and Emerging Markets Equity Fund up to 15%
of its net assets, in illiquid securities. The term 'illiquid securities' for
this purpose means securities that cannot be disposed of within seven days in
the ordinary course of business at approximately the amount at which a Fund has
valued the securities and includes, among other things, purchased
over-the-counter ('OTC') options, repurchase agreements maturing in more than

<PAGE>

seven days and restricted securities other than those Mitchell Hutchins or a
Sub-Adviser, as applicable, have determined are liquid pursuant to guidelines
established by each Fund's board of trustees (each sometimes referred to as a
'board'). The assets used as cover for OTC options written by the Funds will be
considered illiquid unless the OTC options are sold to qualified dealers who
agree that the Funds may repurchase any OTC option it writes at a maximum price
to be calculated by a formula set forth in the option agreement. The cover for
an OTC option written subject to this procedure would be considered illiquid
only to the extent that the maximum repurchase price under the formula exceeds
the intrinsic value of the option.

agreements, commercial paper, foreign securities and corporate bonds and notes.
These instruments are often restricted securities because the securities are
sold in transactions not requiring registration. Institutional investors
generally will not seek to sell these instruments to the general public, but
instead will often depend either on an efficient institutional market in which
such unregistered securities can be readily resold or on an issuer's ability to
honor a demand for repayment. Therefore, the fact that there are contractual or
legal restrictions on resale to the general public or certain institutions is
not dispositive of the liquidity of such investments.

Rule 144A under the 1933 Act establishes a 'safe harbor' from the
registration requirements of the 1933 Act for resales of certain securities to
qualified institutional buyers. Institutional markets for restricted securities
have developed as a result of Rule 144A, providing both readily ascertainable
values for restricted securities and the ability to liquidate an investment to
satisfy share redemption orders. Such markets include automated systems for the
trading, clearance and settlement of unregistered securities of domestic and
foreign issuers, such as the PORTAL System sponsored by the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. An insufficient number of qualified institutional
buyers interested in purchasing Rule 144A-eligible restricted securities held by
a Fund, however, could affect adversely the marketability of such portfolio
securities and the Fund might be unable to dispose of such securities promptly
or at favorable prices.

included in its net

<PAGE>

investment income. Repurchase agreements carry certain risks not associated with
direct investments in securities, including possible declines in the market
value of the underlying securities and delays and costs to a Fund if the other
party to a repurchase agreement becomes insolvent.

REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Global Income Fund may enter into reverse
repurchase agreements with banks and securities dealers up to an aggregate value
of not more than 10% of the Fund's total assets. Such agreements involve the
sale of securities held by the Fund subject to the Fund's agreement to
repurchase the securities at an agreed-upon date and price reflecting a market
rate of interest. Such agreements are considered to be borrowings and may be
entered into only for temporary or emergency purposes. While a reverse
repurchase agreement is outstanding, the Fund's custodian segregates assets to
cover the Fund's obligations under the reverse repurchase agreement. See
'Investment Policies and Restrictions-Segregated Accounts.'

The Funds might make a short sale 'against the box' in order to hedge
against market risks when Mitchell Hutchins or a Sub-Adviser believes that the
price of a security may decline, thereby causing a decline in the value of a
security owned by a Fund or a security convertible into or exchangeable for a
security owned by the Fund, or when Mitchell Hutchins or a Sub-Adviser wants to
sell a security that a Fund owns at a current price, but also wishes to defer
recognition of gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. In such case, any
loss in the Fund's long position after the short sale should be reduced by a
gain in the short position. Conversely, any gain in the long position should be
reduced by a loss in the short position. The extent to which gains or losses in
the long position are reduced will depend upon the amount of the securities sold
short relative to the amount of the securities a Fund owns, either directly or
indirectly, and in the case where the Fund owns convertible securities, changes
in the investment values or conversion premiums of such securities.

contracts (and, for Global Income Fund, certain interest rate protection
transactions).

an asset on the commitment date and is subject to changes in market value,
generally based upon changes in the level of interest rates. Thus, fluctuation
in the value of the security from the time of the commitment date will affect a
Fund's net asset value. When the Fund agrees to purchase securities on a
when-issued or delayed delivery basis, its custodian segregates assets to cover
the amount of the commitment. See 'Investment Policies and
Restrictions-Segregated Accounts.' The Fund purchases when-issued securities
only with the intention of taking delivery, but may sell the right to acquire
the security prior to delivery if Mitchell Hutchins or a Sub-Adviser deems it
advantageous to do so, which may result in a gain or loss to the Fund.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS OF THE FUNDS

Each Fund will not:

(1) purchase any security if, as a result of that purchase, 25% or more of
the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of issuers having their
principal business activities in the same industry, except that this limitation
does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its
agencies or instrumentalities or to municipal securities.

(2) issue senior securities or borrow money, except as permitted under the
1940 Act, and then not in excess of 331/3% of the Fund's total assets (including
the amount of the senior securities issued but reduced by any liabilities not
constituting senior securities) at the time of the issuance or borrowing, except
that the Fund may borrow up to an additional 5% of its total assets (not
including the amount borrowed) for temporary or emergency purposes.

securities.

(6) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of
owning securities or other instruments, but the Fund may purchase, sell or enter
into financial options and futures, forward and spot currency contracts, swap
transactions and other financial contracts or derivative instruments.

In addition, Emerging Markets Equity Fund and Global Equity Fund will not:

<PAGE>

The following interpretation applies to, but is not a part of, this
fundamental restriction: Mortgage- and asset-backed securities will not be
considered to have been issued by the same issuer by reason of the securities
having the same sponsor, and mortgage- and asset-backed securities issued by a
finance or other special purpose subsidiary that are not guaranteed by the
parent company will be considered to be issued by a separate issuer from the
parent company.

NON-FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS. The following investment restrictions, which
apply to each Fund, are non-fundamental and may be changed by the vote of the
Fund's board without shareholder approval.

Each Fund will not:

(6) invest in real estate limited partnerships.

(7) purchase portfolio securities while borrowings in excess of 5% of its
total assets are outstanding.

(9) engage in short sales of securities or maintain a short position,
except that the Fund may (a) sell short 'against the box' and (b) maintain short
positions in connection with its use of financial options and futures, forward
and spot currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial contracts or
derivative instruments.

In addition, Global Equity Fund will not:

(12) invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control or
management.

HEDGING STRATEGIES

security or currency at a specified price during the option term. The writer of
the put option, who receives the premium, has the obligation, upon exercise of
the option during the option term, to buy the underlying security or currency at
the exercise price.

OPTIONS ON SECURITIES INDEXES--A securities index assigns relative values
to the securities included in the index and fluctuates with changes in the
market values of those securities. A securities index option operates in the
same way as a more traditional securities option, except that exercise of a
securities index option is effected with cash payment and does not involve
delivery of securities. Thus, upon exercise of a securities index option, the
purchaser will realize, and the writer will pay, an amount based on the
difference between the exercise price and the closing price of the securities
index.

OPTIONS ON FUTURES CONTRACTS--Options on futures contracts are similar to
options on securities or currency, except that an option on a futures contract
gives the purchaser the right, in return for the premium, to assume a position
in a futures contract (a long position if the option is a call and a short
position if the option is a put), rather than to purchase or sell a security or
currency, at a specified price at any time during the option term. Upon exercise
of the option, the delivery of the futures position to the holder of the option
will be accompanied by delivery of the accumulated balance that represents the
amount by which the market price of the futures contract exceeds, in the case of
a call, or is less than, in the case of a put, the exercise price of the option
on the future. The writer of an option, upon exercise, will assume a short
position in the case of a call and a long position in the case of a put.

option on a security to hedge against a potential decline in the value of that
security. If the price of the security declined below the exercise price of the
put, a Fund could exercise the put and thus limit its loss below the exercise
price to the premium paid plus transactions costs. In the alternative, because
the value of the put option can be expected to increase as the value of the
underlying security declines, a Fund might be able to close out the put option
and realize a gain to offset the decline in the value of the security.

broaden the range of permitted transactions and as new options, futures
contracts, foreign currency contracts or other techniques are developed.
Mitchell Hutchins or a Sub-Adviser, as applicable, may utilize these
opportunities to the extent that they are consistent with each Fund's investment
objective and permitted by each Fund's investment limitations and applicable
regulatory authorities. The Funds' Prospectus or Statement of Additional
Information will be supplemented to the extent that new products or techniques
involve materially different risks than those described below or in the
Prospectus.

SPECIAL RISKS OF HEDGING STRATEGIES. The use of Hedging Instruments
involves special considerations and risks, as described below. Risks pertaining
to particular Hedging Instruments are described in the sections that follow.

(1) Successful use of most Hedging Instruments depends upon the ability of
Mitchell Hutchins or the Sub-Advisers, as applicable, to predict movements of
the overall securities and interest rate markets, which requires different
skills than predicting changes in the prices of individual securities. While
Mitchell Hutchins and the Sub-Advisers are experienced in the use of Hedging
Instruments, there can be no assurance that any particular hedging strategy
adopted will succeed.

The effectiveness of hedges using Hedging Instruments on indices will
depend on the degree of correlation between price movements in the index and
price movements in the securities being hedged.

<PAGE>

(4) As described below, a Fund might be required to maintain assets as
'cover,' maintain segregated accounts or make margin payments when it takes

positions in Hedging Instruments involving obligations to third parties (i.e.,
Hedging Instruments other than purchased options). If the Fund was unable to
close out its positions in such Hedging Instruments, it might be required to
continue to maintain such assets or accounts or make such payments until the
positions expired or matured. These requirements might impair a Fund's ability
to sell a portfolio security or make an investment at a time when it would
otherwise be favorable to do so, or require that the Fund sell a portfolio
security at a disadvantageous time. A Fund's ability to close out a position in
a Hedging Instrument prior to expiration or maturity depends on the existence of
a liquid secondary market or, in the absence of such a market, the ability and
willingness of a contra party to enter into a transaction closing out the
position. Therefore, there is no assurance that any hedging position can be
closed out at a time and price that is favorable to a Fund.

COVER FOR HEDGING STRATEGIES. Transactions using Hedging Instruments,
other than purchased options, expose the Funds to an obligation to another
party. A Fund will not enter into any such transactions unless it owns either
(1) an offsetting ('covered') position in securities, other options or futures
contracts or (2) cash and liquid securities, with a value sufficient at all
times to cover its potential obligations to the extent not covered as provided
in (1) above. Each Fund will comply with SEC guidelines regarding cover for
hedging transactions and will, if the guidelines so require, set aside cash or
liquid securities in a segregated account with its custodian in the prescribed
amount.

OPTIONS. The Funds may purchase put and call options, and write (sell)
covered put or call options, in the case of Emerging Markets Equity Fund and
Global Equity Fund, on equity and debt securities and stock indices and on
foreign currencies, and in the case of Global Income Fund, on debt securities in
which it is authorized to invest and on foreign currencies. The purchase of call
options serves as a long hedge, and the purchase of put options serves as a
short hedge. Writing covered call options serves as a limited short hedge,
because declines in the value of the hedged investment would be offset to the
extent of the premium received for writing the option. However, if the security
appreciates to a price higher than the exercise price of the call option, it can
be expected that the option will be exercised and the affected Fund will be
obligated to sell the security at less than its market value. Writing covered
put options serves as a limited long hedge because increases in the value of the
hedged investment would be offset to the extent of the premium received for
writing the option. However, if the security depreciates to a price lower than
the exercise price of the put option, it can be expected that the put option
will be exercised and the Fund will be obligated to purchase the security at
more than its market value. The securities or other assets used as cover for OTC
options written by a Fund would be considered illiquid to the extent described
under 'Investment Policies and Restrictions--Illiquid Securities.'

time prior to its expiration.

LIMITATIONS ON THE USE OF OPTIONS. The use of options is governed by the
following guidelines, which can be changed by each respective Fund's board
without shareholder vote:

(2) The aggregate value of securities underlying put options written
by a Fund determined as of the date the put options are written will not
exceed 50% of that Fund's net assets.

transaction was effected, 'initial margin' consisting of cash, U.S. government
securities or other liquid, high-grade debt securities, in an amount generally
equal to 10% or less of the contract value. Margin must also be deposited when
writing a call option on a futures contract, in accordance with applicable
exchange rules. Unlike margin in securities transactions, initial margin on
futures contracts does not represent a borrowing, but rather is in the nature of
a performance bond or good-faith deposit that is returned to a Fund at the
termination of the transaction if all contractual obligations have been
satisfied. Under certain circumstances, such as periods of high volatility, a
Fund may be required by an exchange to increase the level of its initial margin
payment, and initial margin requirements might be increased generally in the
future by regulatory action.

Holders and writers of futures positions and options on futures can enter
into offsetting closing transactions, similar to closing transactions on
options, by selling or purchasing, respectively, an instrument identical to the
instrument held or written. Positions in futures and options on futures may be
closed only on an exchange or board of trade that provides a secondary market.
The Funds intend to enter into futures transactions only on exchanges or boards
of trade where there appears to be a liquid secondary market. However, there can
be no assurance that such a market will exist for a particular contract at a
particular time.

If a Fund were unable to liquidate a futures or related options position
due to the absence of a liquid secondary market or the imposition of price
limits, it could incur substantial losses. A Fund would continue to be subject
to market risk with respect to the position. In addition, except in the case of
purchased options, a Fund would continue to be required to make daily variation
margin payments and might be required to maintain the position being hedged by
the future or option or to maintain cash or securities in a segregated account.

hedged. For example, all participants in the futures and related options markets
are subject to daily variation margin calls and might be compelled to liquidate
futures or related options positions whose prices are moving unfavorably to
avoid being subject to further calls. These liquidations could increase price
volatility of the instruments and distort the normal price relationship between
the futures or options and the investments being hedged. Also, because initial
margin deposit requirements in the futures market are less onerous than margin
requirements in the securities markets, there might be increased participation
by speculators in the futures markets. This participation also might cause
temporary price distortions. In addition, activities of large traders in both
the futures and securities markets involving arbitrage, 'program trading' and
other investment strategies might result in temporary price distortions.

(3) The aggregate margin deposits on all futures contracts and options
thereon held at any time by a Fund will not exceed 5% of its total assets.

magnified when this strategy is used.

There is no systematic reporting of last sale information for foreign
currencies or any regulatory requirement that quotations available through
dealers or other market sources be firm or revised on a timely basis. Quotation
information generally is representative of very large transactions in the
interbank market and thus might not reflect odd-lot transactions where rates
might be less favorable. The interbank market in foreign currencies is a global,
round-the-clock market. To the extent the U.S. options or futures markets are
closed while the markets for the underlying currencies remain open, significant
price and rate movements might take place in the underlying markets that cannot
be reflected in the markets for the Hedging Instruments until they reopen.

Settlement of hedging transactions involving foreign currencies might be
required to take place within the country issuing the underlying currency. Thus,
the Funds might be required to accept or make delivery of the underlying foreign
currency in accordance with any U.S. or foreign regulations regarding the
maintenance of foreign banking arrangements by U.S. residents and might be
required to pay any fees, taxes and charges associated with such delivery
assessed in the issuing country.

sometimes referred to as 'cross hedging.' Use of a different foreign currency
magnifies the risk that movements in the price of the Hedging Instrument will
not correlate or will correlate unfavorably with the foreign currency being
hedged.

basis of a specified amount of principal (the 'notional principal amount') for a
specified period of time. Interest rate cap and floor transactions involve an
agreement between two parties in which the first party agrees to make payments
to the counterparty when a designated market interest rate goes above (in the
case of a cap) or below (in the case of a floor) a designated level on
predetermined dates or during a specified time period. Interest rate collar
transactions involve an agreement between two parties in which payments are made
when a designated market interest rate either goes above a designated ceiling
level or goes below a designated floor level on predetermined dates or during a
specified time period.

<PAGE>

Global Income Fund may enter into interest rate swaps, caps, collars and
floors on either an asset-based or liability-based basis, depending on whether
it is hedging its assets or its liabilities, and will usually enter into
interest rate swaps on a net basis, i.e., the two payment streams are netted
out, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount
of the two payments. Inasmuch as these interest rate protection transactions are
entered into for good faith hedging purposes, and inasmuch as segregated
accounts will be established with respect to such transactions, Mitchell
Hutchins believes such obligations do not constitute senior securities and,
accordingly, will not treat them as being subject to the Fund's borrowing
restrictions. The net amount of the excess, if any, of the Fund's obligations
over its entitlements with respect to each interest rate swap will be accrued on
a daily basis and appropriate Fund assets having an aggregate net asset value at
least equal to the accrued excess will be maintained in a segregated account as
described above in 'Investment Policies and Restrictions--Segregated Accounts.'
The Fund also will establish and maintain such segregated accounts with respect
to its total obligations under any interest rate swaps that are not entered into
on a net basis and with respect to any interest rate caps, collars and floors
that are written by the Fund.

** Mrs. Alexander, Mr. Bewkes and Ms. Farrell are 'interested persons' of each
Fund as defined in the 1940 Act by virtue of their positions with Mitchell
Hutchins, PaineWebber, and/or PW Group.

Each Trust pays trustees who are not 'interested persons' of the Trust
$1,000 annually for each series and $150 for each board meeting and each
separate meeting of a board committee. Investment Trust II and Investment Series
presently each has one series and thus pay each such trustee $1,000 annually,
plus any additional amounts due for board or committee meetings. Investment
Trust has two series and thus pays each such trustee $2,000 annually, plus any
additional amounts due for board or committee meetings. Messrs. Feldberg and
Torell serve as chairmen of the audit and contract review committees of
individual funds within the PaineWebber fund complex and receive additional
annual compensation, aggregating $15,000 each, from the relevant funds. All
trustees are reimbursed for any expenses incurred in attending meetings.
Trustees own in the aggregate less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each
Fund. Because PaineWebber, Mitchell Hutchins and, as applicable, a Sub-Adviser
perform substantially all the services necessary for the operation of the Trusts
and each Fund, the Trusts require no employees. No officer, director or employee
of Mitchell Hutchins or PaineWebber presently receives any compensation from the
Trusts for acting as a trustee or officer.

DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS. Mitchell Hutchins acts as the distributor of
the Class Y shares of each Fund under separate distribution contracts with each
Fund (collectively, 'Distribution Contracts') that require Mitchell Hutchins to
use its best efforts, consistent with its other businesses, to sell shares of
each Fund. Shares of each of the Funds are offered continuously. Under separate

exclusive dealer agreements between Mitchell Hutchins and PaineWebber relating
to the Class Y shares (collectively, 'Exclusive Dealer Agreements'), PaineWebber
and its correspondent firms sell the Funds' shares.

<PAGE>
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

The Funds have no obligation to deal with any broker or group of brokers in
the execution of portfolio transactions. The Funds contemplate that, consistent
with the policy of obtaining the best net results, brokerage transactions may be
conducted through PaineWebber. Each Fund's board of trustees has adopted
procedures in conformity with Rule 17e-1 under the 1940 Act to ensure that all
brokerage commissions paid to PaineWebber are reasonable and fair. Specific
provisions in the Advisory Contracts authorize PaineWebber to effect portfolio
transactions for the Funds on such exchange and to retain compensation in
connection with such transactions. Any such transactions will be effected and
related compensation paid only in accordance with applicable SEC regulations.
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, Emerging Markets
Equity Fund paid no brokerage commissions to PaineWebber. For its last three
fiscal years, Global Equity Fund paid no brokerage commissions to PaineWebber.
For its last three fiscal years, Global Income paid no brokerage commissions to
PaineWebber.

Consistent with the interests of the Funds and subject to the review of
each Fund's board of trustees, Mitchell Hutchins or a Sub-Adviser may cause a
Fund to purchase and sell portfolio securities from and to dealers or through
brokers who provide that Fund with research, analysis, advice and similar
services. In return for such services, the Funds may pay to those brokers a
higher commission than may be charged by other brokers, provided that Mitchell
Hutchins or the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that such commission is
reasonable in terms either of that particular transaction or of the overall
responsibility of Mitchell Hutchins or the Sub-Adviser, as applicable, to that
Fund and its other clients and that the total commissions paid by the Fund will
be reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Fund over the long term. For
Global Equity Fund's fiscal year ended August 31, 1996, GE Investment
Management directed $21,439,471 in portfolio transactions to brokers chosen
because they provided research services, for which Fund paid $24,245 in
commissions. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, Emerging Markets
Management directed none of Emerging Market Equity Fund's protfolio transactions
to brokers chosen for research services. For the fiscal year ended October 31,
1995 Mitchell Hutchins directed no portfolio transactions to brokers chosen for
research services.

For purchases or sales with broker-dealer firms which act as principal,
Mitchell Hutchins or the applicable Sub-Adviser seeks best execution. Although
Mitchell Hutchins and the Sub-Advisers may receive certain research or execution
services in connection with these transactions, Mitchell Hutchins and the Sub-
Advisers will not purchase securities at a higher price or sell securities at a
lower price than would otherwise be paid if no weight was attributed to the
services provided by the executing dealer. Moreover, Mitchell Hutchins and the
Sub-Advisers will not enter into any explicit soft dollar arrangements relating
to principal

<PAGE>

transactions and will not receive in principal transactions the types of
services which could be purchased for hard dollars. Mitchell Hutchins or a
Sub-Adviser may engage in agency transactions in OTC equity and debt securities
in return for research and execution services. These transactions are entered
into only in compliance with procedures ensuring that the transaction (including
commissions) is at least as favorable as it would have been if effected directly
with a market-maker that did not provide research or execution services. These
procedures include Mitchell Hutchins or the Sub-Adviser receiving multiple

VALUATION OF SHARES

Securities that are listed on U.S. and foreign stock exchanges are valued
at the last sale price on the day the securities are valued or, lacking any
sales on such day, at the last available bid price. In cases where securities
are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are generally valued on the
exchange considered by Mitchell Hutchins or the Sub-Adviser as the primary
market. Securities traded in the OTC market and listed on The Nasdaq Stock
Market, Inc. ('Nasdaq') are valued at the last trade price on Nasdaq at 4:00
p.m., Eastern time; other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price
available prior to valuation (other than short-term investments that mature in
60 days or less which are valued as described further below). Securities and
assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair
value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of each Fund's
board. In valuing lower rated corporate debt securities it should be recognized
that judgment often plays a greater role than is the case with respect to
securities for which a broader range of dealer quotations and last-sale
information is available. All investments quoted in foreign currency will be
valued daily in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rate
prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by the Funds' custodian. The
amortized cost method of valuation generally is used to value debt obligations
with 60 days or less remaining until maturity, unless the board of trustees of a
Fund determines that this does not represent fair value.

on a spot (that is, cash) basis are valued at the spot rate for purchasing or
selling currency prevailing on the foreign exchange market. This rate under
normal market conditions differs from the prevailing exchange rate in an amount
generally less than one-tenth of one percent due to the costs of converting from
one currency to another.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Average annual total return quotes
('Standardized Return') used in each Fund's Performance Advertisements are
calculated according to the following formula:

<TABLE>
<S> <C>
P(1 + T)n = ERV
where: P = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000 to purchase shares of a specified Class
T = average annual total return of shares of that Class
n = number of years
ERV = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment at the beginning of that period.
</TABLE>

Under the foregoing formula, the time periods used in Performance
Advertisements will be based on rolling calendar quarters, updated to the last
day of the most recent quarter prior to submission of the advertisement for
publication. Total return, or 'T' in the formula above, is computed by finding
the average annual change in the value of an initial $1,000 investment over the
period. All dividends and other distributions are assumed to have been
reinvested at net asset value.

<PAGE>

The following table shows performance information for the Class Y shares of
the Funds for the periods indicated. All returns for periods of more than one
year are expressed as an average annual return.

TAXES

In order to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment
company ('RIC') under the Internal Revenue Code, each Fund must distribute to
its shareholders for each taxable year at least 90% of its investment company
taxable income (consisting generally of net investment income, net short-term
capital gain and net gains from certain foreign currency transactions)
('Distribution Requirement') and must meet several additional requirements. For
each Fund these requirements include the following: (1) the Fund must derive at
least 90% of its gross income each taxable year from dividends, interest,
payments with respect to securities loans and gains from the sale or other
disposition of securities or foreign currencies, or other income (including
gains from options, futures or forward contracts) derived with respect to its
business of investing in securities or those currencies ('Income Requirement');
(2) the Fund must derive less than 30% of its gross income each taxable year
from the sale or other disposition of securities, or any of the following, that
were held for less than three months--options, futures or forward contracts
(other than those on foreign currencies), or foreign currencies (or options,
futures or forward contracts thereon) that are not directly related to the
Fund's principal business of investing in securities (or options and futures
with respect to securities) ('Short-Short Limitation'); (3) at the close of each
quarter of the Fund's taxable year, at least 50% of the value of its total
assets must be represented by cash and cash items, U.S. government securities,
securities of other RICs and other securities, with these other securities
limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount that does not exceed 5% of
the value of that Fund's total assets and that does not represent more than 10%
of the issuer's outstanding voting securities; and (4) at the close of each
quarter of the Fund's taxable year, not more than 25% of the value of its total
assets may be invested in securities (other than U.S. government securities or
the securities of other RICs) of any one issuer.

Dividends and interest received by a Fund may be subject to income,
withholding or other taxes imposed by foreign countries and U.S. possessions
(collectively 'foreign taxes') that would reduce the yield on its securities.
Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or
eliminate these foreign taxes, however, and many foreign countries do not impose
taxes on capital gains in respect of investments by foreign investors. If more
than 50% of the value of a Fund's total assets at the close of its taxable year
consists of securities of foreign corporations, it will be eligible to, and may,
file an election with the Internal Revenue Service that will enable its
shareholders, in effect, to receive the benefit of the foreign tax credit with
respect to any foreign taxes paid by it. Pursuant to the election, the Fund
would treat those taxes as dividends paid to its shareholders and each
shareholder would be required to (1) include in gross income, and treat as paid
by him or her, his or her proportionate share of those taxes; (2) treat his or
her share

<PAGE>

of those taxes and of any dividend paid by the Fund that represents income from
foreign or U.S. possessions sources as his or her own income from those sources;
and (3) either deduct the taxes deemed paid by him or her in computing his or
her taxable income or, alternatively, use the foregoing information in
calculating the foreign tax credit against his or her federal income tax. A Fund
will report to its shareholders shortly after each taxable year their respective
shares of the Fund's foreign taxes and income from sources within, and taxes
paid to, foreign countries and U.S. possessions if it makes this election.

circumstances, a Fund will be subject to federal income tax on a portion of any
'excess distribution' received on the stock of a PFIC or of any gain from
disposition of such stock (collectively 'PFIC income'), plus interest thereon,
even if the Fund distributes the PFIC income as a taxable dividend to its
shareholders. The balance of the PFIC income will be included in the Fund's
investment company taxable income and, accordingly, will not be taxable to it to
the extent that income is distributed to its shareholders. If a Fund invests in
a PFIC and elects to treat the PFIC as a 'qualified electing fund' ('QEF') then
in lieu of the foregoing tax and interest obligation, the Fund will be required
to include in income each year its pro rata share of the QEF's annual ordinary
earnings and net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net
short-term capital loss)--which may have to be distributed by the Fund to
satisfy the Distribution Requirement and avoid imposition of the Excise
Tax--even if those earnings and gain are not distributed to the Fund by the QEF.
In most instances it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to make this
election because of certain requirements thereof.

Pursuant to proposed regulations, open-end RICs, such as the Funds, would
be entitled to elect to 'mark-to-market' their stock in certain PFICs.
'Marking-to-market,' in this context, means recognizing as gain for each taxable
year the excess, as of the end of that year, of the fair market value of each
such PFIC's stock over the owner's adjusted basis in that stock (including
mark-to-market gain for each prior year for which an election was in effect).

forward currency contracts and/or foreign currency positions beyond the time
when it otherwise would be advantageous to do so, in order for the Fund to
continue to qualify as a RIC.

OTHER INFORMATION

Each Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a 'Massachusetts
business trust.' Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of a Fund could, under
certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the
Trust or Fund. However, each Trust's Declaration of Trust disclaims shareholder
liability for acts or obligations of the Trust or the Fund and requires that
notice of such disclaimer be given in each note, bond, contract, instrument,
certificate or undertaking made or issued by the trustees or by any officers or
officer by or on behalf of the Trust or the Fund, the trustees or any of them in
connection with the Trust. The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification
from the Fund's property for all losses and expenses of any shareholder held
personally liable for the obligations of the Fund. Thus, the risk of a
shareholder's incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is
limited to circumstances in which the Fund itself would be unable to meet its
obligations, a possibility that Mitchell Hutchins believes it remote and not
material. Upon payment of any liability incurred by a shareholder solely by
reason of being or having been a shareholder, the shareholder paying such
liability will be entitled to reimbursement from the general assets of the Fund.
The trustees intend to conduct the Fund's operations in such a way as to avoid,
as far as possible, ultimate liability of the shareholders for liabilities of
the Fund.

Prior to July 1, 1991, the name of Global Income Fund was 'PaineWebber
Master Global Income Fund.' Prior to November 10, 1995, the Fund's Class C
shares were known as 'Class D' shares.

CLASS-SPECIFIC EXPENSES. Each Fund may determine to allocate certain of
its expenses (in addition to distribution fees) to the specific Classes of the
Fund's shares to which those expenses are attributable. For example, Class B
shares bear higher transfer agency fees per shareholder account than those borne
by Class A or Class C shares. The higher fee is imposed due to the higher costs
incurred by the transfer agent in tracking shares subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge because, upon redemption, the duration of the
shareholder's investment must be determined in order to determine the applicable
charge. Moreover, the tracking and calculations required by the automatic
conversion feature of the Class B shares will cause the transfer agent to incur
additional costs. Although the transfer agency fee will differ on a per account
basis as stated above, the specific extent to which the transfer agency fees
will differ between the Classes as a percentage of net assets is not certain,
because the fee as a percentage of net assets will be affected by the number of
shareholder accounts in each Class and the relative amounts of net assets in
each Class.

APPENDIX

DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S CORPORATE BOND RATINGS

DESCRIPTION OF S&P CORPORATE DEBT RATINGS

AAA. An obligation rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by S&P. The
obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is
extremely strong; AA. An obligation rated AA differs from the higher rated
issues only in small degree; A. An obligation rated A is somewhat more
susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic
conditions than obligations in higher rated categories. However, the obligor's
capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still strong;
BBB. An obligation rated BBB exhibits adequate protection parameters. However,
adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to
a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation; BB, B, CCC, CC, C. Obligations rated BB, B, CCC, CC and C are
regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. BB indicates the
lowest degree of speculation and C the highest. While such debt will likely have
some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large
uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions; BB. An obligation rated
BB is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it
faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or
economic conditions which could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to
meet its financial commitment on the obligation; B. An obligation rated B is
more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated BB, but the obligor
currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.
Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the
obligor's capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation; CCC. An obligation rated CCC is currently

A-1

<PAGE>

vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial and
economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the
obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions,
the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitment
on the obligation; CC. An obligation rated CC is currently highly vulnerable to
nonpayment; C. The C rating may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy
petition has been filed or similar action has been taken, but payments on this
obligation are being continued; D. An obligation rated D is in payment default.
The D rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the
date due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless S&P
believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The D rating
also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a
similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

Plus (+) or Minus (-): The ratings from 'AA' to 'CCC' may be modified by

the addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major
rating categories.

Item 27. Indemnification

Section 2 of "Indemnification" in Article X of the Declaration of
Trust provides that the appropriate series of the Registrant will indemnify the
trustees and officers of the Registrant to the fullest extent permitted by law
against claims and expenses asserted against or incurred by them by virtue of
being or having been a trustee or officer; provided that no such person shall
be indemnified where there has been an adjudication or other determination, as
described in Article X, that such person is liable to the Registrant or its
shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or
reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office
or did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in
the best interest of the Registrant. Section 2 of "Indemnification" in Article
X also provides that the Registrant may maintain insurance policies covering
such rights of indemnification.

Additionally, "Limitation of Liability" in Article X of the
Declaration of Trust provides that the trustees or officers of the Registrant
shall not be personally liable to any person extending credit to, contracting
with or having a claim against the Registrant or a particular series; and that,
provided they have exercised reasonable care and have acted under the
reasonable belief that their actions are in the best interest of the
Registrant, the trustees and officers shall not be liable for neglect or
wrongdoing by them or any officer, agent, employee or investment adviser of the
Registrant.

Section 2 of Article XI of the Declaration of Trust additionally
provides that, subject to the provisions of Section 1 of Article XI and to
Article X, trustees shall not be liable for errors of judgement or mistakes of
fact or law, for any act or omission in accordance with advice of counsel or
other experts, or for failing to follow such advice, with respect to the
meaning and operation of the Declaration of Trust.

Article IX of the By-Laws provides that the Registrant may purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a trustee, officer
or employee of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the
Registrant as a trustee, officer or employee of a corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against
him and incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as
such, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify him
against such liability to the Registrant or its shareholders, provided that the
Registrant may not purchase or maintain insurance that protects any such person
against any liability to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the
duties involved in the conduct of his office.

Section 9 of the Investment Advisory and Administration Contract
("Contract") provides that Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell
Hutchins") shall not be liable for any error of judgement or mistake of law or
for any loss suffered by any series of the Registrant in connection with the
matters to which the Contract relates, except for a loss resulting from the
willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence of Mitchell Hutchins in the
performance of its duties or from its reckless disregard of its obligations and
duties under the Contract. Section 10 of the Contract provides that the
trustees shall not be liable for any obligations of any series or the
Registrant under the Contract and that Mitchell Hutchins shall look only to the
assets and property of the Registrant or appropriate series in settlement of
such right or claim and not to the assets and property of the trustees.

Section 9 of each Distribution Contract provides that the Registrant
will indemnify Mitchell Hutchins and its officers, directors and controlling

persons against all liabilities arising from any alleged untrue statement of
material fact in the Registration Statement or from any alleged omission to
state in the Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated in it
or necessary to make the statements in it, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as liability arises from
untrue statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished by Mitchell Hutchins to the Registrant for use in the
Registration Statement; and provided that this indemnity agreement shall not
protect any such persons against liabilities arising by reason of their bad
faith, gross negligence or willful misfeasance; and shall not inure to the
benefit of any such persons unless a court of competent jurisdiction or
controlling precedent determines that such result is not against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933. Section 9 of each Distribution
Contract also provides that Mitchell Hutchins agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold the Registrant, its officers and trustees free and harmless of any claims
arising out of any alleged untrue statement or any alleged omission of material
fact contained in information furnished by Mitchell Hutchins for use in the
Registration Statement or arising out of an agreement between Mitchell Hutchins
and any retail dealer, or arising out of supplementary literature or
advertising used by Mitchell Hutchins in connection with each Distribution
Contract.

Section 9 of each Exclusive Dealer Agreement contains provisions
similar to Section 9 of the relevant Distribution Contract, with respect to
PaineWebber Incorporated ("PaineWebber").

Section 6 of the Service Contract provides that PaineWebber shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Registrant against all liabilities, except
those arising out of bad faith, gross negligence, willful misfeasance or
reckless disregard of its duties under the Service Contract.

C - 7

<PAGE>

Section 10 of each Distribution Contract and Section 7 of the Service
Contract contain provisions similar to Section 10 of the Investment Advisory
and Administration Contract, applicable to Mitchell Hutchins and PaineWebber,
respectively.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be provided to trustees, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant, pursuant to the foregoing provisions or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in connection with the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding or payment pursuant to any insurance policy)
is asserted against the Registrant by such trustee, officer or controlling

person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
