INSTITUTIONAL CLASS SHARES
INVESTMENT ADVISER: C.S. MCKEE & CO.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROSPECTUS--APRIL 9, 1997
UAM Funds, Inc. (the "Fund") is an open-end, management investment company
known as a "mutual fund." The Fund consists of multiple series, (known as
"Portfolios") each of which has different investment objectives and investment
policies. The McKee Portfolios currently offer only one class of shares. The
securities offered in this Prospectus are Institutional Class Shares of four
no-load Portfolios of the Fund managed by C.S. McKee & Co., Inc.: McKee U.S.
Government Portfolio, McKee Domestic Equity Portfolio, McKee International Eq-
uity Portfolio, each a non-diversified Portfolio, and McKee Small Cap Equity
Portfolio, a diversified Portfolio.
McKee U.S. Government Portfolio. The objective of the McKee U.S. Government
Portfolio (the "U.S. Government Portfolio") is to achieve a high level of cur-
rent income consistent with preservation of capital by investing primarily in
U.S. Treasury and Government agency securities.
McKee Domestic Equity Portfolio. The objective of the McKee Domestic Equity
Portfolio (the "Domestic Equity Portfolio") is to achieve a superior long-term
total return over a market cycle by investing primarily in equity securities
of U.S. issuers.
McKee International Equity Portfolio. The objective of the McKee Interna-
tional Equity Portfolio (the "International Equity Portfolio") is to achieve a
superior long-term total return over a market cycle by investing primarily in
the equity securities of non-U.S. issuers.
McKee Small Cap Equity Portfolio. The objective of the McKee Small Cap Eq-
uity Portfolio (the "Small Cap Equity Portfolio") is to achieve a superior
long-term total return by investing primarily in the equity securities of
small companies.
There can be no assurance that any of the Portfolios will achieve their
stated objective.

The above table shows the various fees and expenses an investor in the Port-
folios would bear directly or indirectly. The fees and expenses are based on
the U.S. Government, Domestic Equity and International Equity Portfolios' op-
erations during the fiscal year ended October 31, 1996, except that Adminis-
trative Fees have been restated to reflect the current fees. (See "ADMINISTRA-
TIVE SERVICES" herein and in the SAI.) Total Operating Expenses for the U.S.
Government and Domestic Equity Portfolios have also been restated to reflect
the expiration of expense caps on February 29, 1996. The fees and expenses for
the Small Cap Equity Portfolio are based on estimated amounts for its first
year of operations assuming average daily net assets of $35 million. As of the
date of this Prospectus, the Portfolio had not commenced operations.
The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fees
and to assume as the Adviser's own expense operating expenses otherwise pay-
able by the Small Cap Equity Portfolio, if necessary, in order to reduce the
Portfolio's expense ratio. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Adviser has
agreed to keep the annual total operating expenses of the Small Cap Equity
Portfolio from exceeding 1.75% of average daily net assets. The Fund will not
reimburse the Adviser for any advisory fees waived or expenses that the Ad-
viser may bear on behalf of the Portfolio.
The following example illustrates the expenses which a shareholder would pay
on a $1,000 investment over various time periods assuming (1) a 5% annual rate
of return and (2) redemption at the end of each time period. As noted in the
table above, the Portfolios charge no redemption fees of any kind.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
INVESTMENT ADVISER
C.S. McKee & Co., Inc. (the "Adviser"), an investment counseling firm estab-
lished in 1931, serves as investment adviser to the Portfolios. The Adviser
presently manages over $3.2 billion in assets for institutional clients. (See
"INVESTMENT ADVISER.")
PURCHASE OF SHARES
Shares of each Portfolio are offered through UAM Fund Distributors, Inc.
(the "Distributor") to investors at net asset value without a sales commis-
sion. Share purchases may be made by sending investments directly to the Fund.
The minimum initial investment for each Portfolio is $2,500; the minimum for
subsequent investments is $100. The minimum initial investment for IRA ac-
counts is $500. The minimum initial investment for spousal IRA accounts is
$250. Certain exceptions to the initial and minimum investment amounts may be
made by officers of the Fund. (See "PURCHASE OF SHARES.")
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Each Portfolio will normally distribute substantially all of its net invest-
ment income in quarterly dividends. Each Portfolio will distribute any real-
ized net capital gains annually. Distributions will be reinvested in Portfolio
shares automatically unless an investor elects to receive cash distributions.
(See "DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES.")
REDEMPTIONS AND EXCHANGES
Shares of each Portfolio may be redeemed at any time, without cost, at the
net asset value of the Portfolio next determined after receipt of the redemp-
tion request. The redemption price may be more or less than the purchase
price. (See "REDEMPTION OF SHARES.")
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
UAM Fund Services Inc. ("UAMFSI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Asset
Management Corporation, is responsible for performing and overseeing adminis-
tration, fund accounting, dividend disbursing and transfer agency services
provided to the Fund and its Portfolios by third-party service providers. (See
"ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES.")

RISK FACTORS
The value of the Portfolios' shares can be expected to fluctuate in response
to changes in market and economic conditions as well as the financial condi-
tions and prospects of the issuers in which the Portfolios invest. Prospective
investors should consider the following: (1) The Domestic Equity Portfolio,
International Equity Portfolio and Small Cap Equity Portfolio may each invest
in securities of foreign issuers, which may involve greater risks than invest-
ments in domestic securities, such as foreign currency risks. In addition,
since the International Equity Portfolio may invest in the securities of for-
eign issuers of developing countries, the Portfolio may be subject to addi-
tional risks. (See "INVESTMENT POLICIES"); (2) Common Stocks of companies
which have small market capitalization may exhibit greater market volatility
than common stocks of companies which have larger capitalization; (3) Fixed
income securities in which the Portfolios may invest will be affected by gen-
eral changes in interest rates resulting in increases or decreases in the
value of the obligations held by the Portfolios. The value of fixed income se-
curities held by a Portfolio can be expected to vary inversely with changes in
interest rates; as interest rates decline, the market value of fixed income
securities tends to increase and vice versa; (4) The U.S. Government, Domestic
Equity and International Equity Portfolios are classified as non-diversified
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). These
Portfolios may invest a greater proportion of their total assets in the secu-
rities of a smaller number of issuers and, as a result, will be subject to a
greater risk with respect to their securities; (5) Each Portfolio may use in-
vestment practices such as repurchase agreements, when-issued, forward deliv-
ery and delayed settlement securities and lending of securities. (See "OTHER
INVESTMENT POLICIES.")

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The objective of the U.S. GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO is to achieve a high level of
current income consistent with preservation of capital by investing primarily
in U.S. Treasury and Government agency securities.
The objective of the DOMESTIC EQUITY PORTFOLIO is to achieve a superior
long-term total return over a market cycle by investing primarily in equity
securities of U.S. issuers.
The objective of the INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO is to achieve a superior
long-term total return over a market cycle by investing primarily in equity
securities of non-U.S. issuers.
The objective of the SMALL CAP EQUITY PORTFOLIO is to achieve a superior
long-term total return by investing primarily in the equity securities of
small companies.
There can be no assurance that any of the Portfolios will achieve its stated
objective.
INVESTMENT POLICIES
U.S. GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO. The U.S. Government Portfolio intends to achieve
its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 65% of its
total assets in securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and Government agencies
and instrumentalities. Because the Adviser will actively manage the Portfolio,
investments in U.S. Government and agency securities will reflect the Advis-
er's outlook for the direction of interest rates. Based on this outlook, the
average weighted maturity of the Portfolio is expected to fluctuate between 5
years and 15 years.
U.S. Government Securities in which the Portfolio will invest are U.S. Trea-
sury securities consisting of Treasury Bills, Treasury Notes and Treasury
Bonds. Some other government securities in which the Portfolio may invest are
securities of the Federal Housing Administration, the Government National
Mortgage Association, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Ex-
port-Import Bank, the Farmers Home Administration, the General Services Admin-
istration, the Maritime Administration and the Small Business Administration.
The balance of the Portfolio's assets may be invested in repurchase agree-
ments collateralized by such securities mentioned above, investment grade cor-
porate asset-backed securities and agency mortgage-backed securities. The
Portfolio will invest in corporate bonds rated no lower than Baa by Moody's
Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or BBB by Standard & Poor's Corporation
("S&P")
8
<PAGE>
at the time of their purchase. Securities rated Baa by Moody's or BBB by S&P
may possess speculative characteristics and may be more sensitive to changes
in the economy and the financial condition of issuers than higher rated bonds.
It is the Adviser's intention that the Portfolio's investments will be limited
to investment grade securities. However, the Adviser reserves the right to re-
tain securities which are downgraded by one or both of the rating agencies if,
in the Adviser's judgment, the retention of the securities is warranted. The
SAI for the Portfolios contains a description of corporate bond ratings. The
Portfolio will invest in asset-backed securities rated no lower than the top
two rating categories by Moody's and S&P at the time of their purchase. The
Portfolio may also invest up to 25% of its assets in short-term securities and
cash equivalents. (See "SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS.")
DOMESTIC EQUITY PORTFOLIO. The Domestic Equity Portfolio intends to achieve
its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 65% of its
total assets in equity securities of U.S. companies with medium to large mar-
ket capitalizations. These issuers will be listed on a national exchange or
traded over the counter. The stock selection process begins with an initial
screening of over 1,600 stocks by price/earnings ratios, earnings momentum and
earnings surprise to identify potentially undervalued securities. Through the
use of fundamental security analysis, company management interviews and as-
sessment of opinions of street analysts and consultants, a portfolio of stocks
is selected that demonstrates the best combination of value and earnings mo-
mentum. Broad diversification is achieved by maintaining exposure to most ma-
jor economic sectors and industries. The Adviser plans to maintain a fully in-
vested posture, holding limited cash reserves only when the market appears
vulnerable to decline.
The Portfolio intends to invest primarily in U.S.-based companies. In addi-
tion, the Portfolio may purchase shares of foreign-based companies in the form
of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). Investments in ADRs, which are domes-
tic securities representing ownership rights in foreign companies, generally
will not exceed 10% of the Portfolio's assets. ADRs may be sponsored or
unsponsored. Sponsored ADRs are established jointly by a depositary and the
underlying issuer, whereas unsponsored ADRs may be established without partic-
ipation by the underlying issuer. Holders of an unsponsored ADR generally bear
all the costs associated with establishing the unsponsored ADR. The depositary
of an unsponsored ADR is under no obligation to distribute shareholder commu-
nications received from the underlying issuer or to pass through to the hold-
ers of the unsponsored ADR voting rights with respect to the deposited securi-
ties or pool of securities.
The Portfolio may also purchase U.S. Treasury and Government agency securi-
ties, short-term securities and cash equivalents. (See "SHORT-TERM INVEST-
MENTS.")
9
<PAGE>
INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO. The International Equity Portfolio intends
to achieve its objective by investing at least 65% of its total assets in the
equity securities of at least three countries other than the U.S. The invest-
ment process employed by the Adviser begins with an initial screening of over
4,000 stocks which are generally traded on a national exchange and selected
from the investable non-U.S. markets. These securities are ranked by their
price/earnings ratios, price/cash flow ratios, price/book value ratios and
earnings momentum. Stock selection is then based on identifying the most fun-
damentally attractive securities as defined by the screening process.
The Portfolio will attempt to minimize risk through systematic country and
economic sector diversification. The Portfolio will be managed in a manner
which will maintain deliberate allocations to most major markets and indus-
tries within the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index (the "In-
dex"). However, stocks may be purchased which are not included in countries
and industries comprising the Index. Based on this strategy the Portfolio will
generally hold more than 50 stocks selected from at least 15 countries.
Investments in securities of foreign issuers involve somewhat different in-
vestment risks from those affecting securities of domestic issuers. There may
be limited publicly available information with respect to foreign issuers, and
foreign issuers are not generally subject to uniform accounting, auditing and
financial standards and requirements comparable to those of domestic compa-
nies. There may also be less government supervision and regulation of foreign
securities exchanges, brokers and listed companies than in the United States.
Many foreign securities markets have substantially less volume than United
States securities exchanges, and securities of some foreign issuers are less
liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable domestic issuers. Bro-
kerage commissions and other transaction costs on foreign securities exchanges
are generally higher than in the United States. Dividends and interest paid by
foreign issuers may be subject to withholding and other foreign taxes which
may decrease the net return on foreign investments as compared to dividends
and interest paid by domestic companies. Additional risks include future po-
litical and economic developments, the possibility that a foreign jurisdiction
might impose or change withholding taxes on income payable with respect to
foreign securities, the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions
such as exchange controls, and in the event of a default on a foreign debt ob-
ligation, it may be more difficult for the Portfolio to obtain or enforce a
judgement against the issuers of the obligation.
Prior governmental approval for foreign investments may be required under
certain circumstances in some emerging countries, and the extent of foreign
investment in domestic companies may be subject to limitation in other emerg-
ing countries. Foreign ownership limitations also may be imposed by the char-
ters of indi-
10
<PAGE>
vidual companies in emerging countries to prevent, among other concerns, vio-
lation of foreign investment limitations.
The Portfolio may invest a portion of its assets in securities of issuers in
developing countries. Investing in the foreign securities of developing coun-
tries presents additional considerations. The economies of individual develop-
ing countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the United States econ-
omy in such respects as growth of gross domestic product, rate of inflation,
currency depreciation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and
balance of payments position. Further, the economies of developing countries
generally are heavily dependent upon international trade and accordingly, have
been and may continue to be adversely affected by trade barriers, exchange
controls, managed adjustments in relative currency values and other
protectionist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they
trade. The economies also have been, and may continue to be, adversely af-
fected by economic conditions in the countries with which they trade.
With respect to any developing country, there is a possibility of national-
ization, or confiscatory taxation, repatriation of investment income, capital
and the proceeds of sales by foreign investors, political changes, governmen-
tal regulation, social instability or diplomatic developments (including war)
which could adversely affect the economies of such countries or the value of
the Portfolio's investment in those countries. In addition, it may be diffi-
cult to obtain and enforce a judgment in a court outside the United States.
The Portfolio may also invest in American Depositary Receipts, which are
discussed above, and may purchase short-term collective investment funds and
money market funds. The Portfolio's investment policy provides for it to be
fully invested in common stocks and stock equivalents. However, the Portfolio
may hold a portion of its assets in cash to meet day-to-day operating needs
and for other appropriate purposes. The Portfolio may also invest a portion of
its assets in short-term securities and cash equivalents. (See "SHORT-TERM IN-
VESTMENTS.")
The Portfolio may also enter into forward foreign currency exchange con-
tracts. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts provide for the purchase
or sale of an amount of a specified foreign currency at a future date. The
general purpose of these contracts is both to put currencies in place to set-
tle trades and to generally protect the United States dollar value of securi-
ties held by the Portfolio against exchange rate fluctuation. While such for-
ward contracts may limit losses to the Portfolio as a result of exchange rate
fluctuation, they will also limit any gains that may otherwise have been real-
ized. The Portfolio will enter into such contracts only to protect against the
effects of fluctuating rates of currency exchange and exchange control regula-
tions. (See "Investment Objectives And Policies--Forward Foreign Currency Ex-
change Contracts" in the SAI.)

<PAGE>
SMALL CAP EQUITY PORTFOLIO. The Small Cap Equity Portfolio intends to
achieve its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 65%
of its total assets in equity securities of companies with market capitaliza-
tions of less than $1 billion at the time of initial purchase. The equity se-
curities in which the Portfolio will invest will consist of common stock, pre-
ferred stock, convertible preferred stock, convertible bonds, rights and war-
rants. However, under normal circumstances, at least 75% of the Portfolio will
be invested in common stock.
The stock selection process begins with an initial screening of 800 stocks
to identify companies with the best combination of 1) low price-earnings ra-
tios, 2) strong current earnings momentum, 3) positive earnings surprises and
4) superior future earnings growth. Stocks in the top 25% of each economic
sector, as determined by the above screens, will form the Adviser's focus list
of 200 companies. Using fundamental analysis, the Adviser will choose stocks
that will comprise the Portfolio from that list. Broad allocation is achieved
by maintaining exposure to most major economic sectors and industries. The Ad-
viser will use adjusted Russell 2000 economic sector weights as guidelines
around which exposure can vary by plus or minus 50%. A strict selling disci-
pline will be applied when stocks, under normal circumstances, decline signif-
icantly in ranking within 50% of their sector universes. Stocks will also be
sold when they reach the price objectives set for them by the Adviser.
The Portfolio intends to invest primarily in U.S.-based companies. In addi-
tion, the Portfolio may purchase shares of foreign-based companies in the form
of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) which are discussed above. (See "DOMES-
TIC EQUITY PORTFOLIO.") Investments in ADRs usually will not exceed 10% of the
Portfolio's assets.
The Portfolio may also purchase U.S. Treasury and Government agency securi-
ties, short-term securities and cash equivalents. (See "SHORT-TERM INVEST-
MENTS.")

In order to earn a return on uninvested assets, meet anticipated redemp-
tions, or for temporary defensive purposes, each Portfolio may invest a por-
tion of its assets in domestic and foreign money market instruments including
certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, time deposits, U.S. Government
obligations, U.S. Government agency securities, short-term corporate debt se-
curities, and commercial paper rated A-1 or A-2 by Standard & Poor's Corpora-
tion or Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or if unrated,
determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.
Time deposits maturing in more than seven days will not be purchased by a
Portfolio, and time deposits maturing from two business days through seven
calendar days will not exceed 15% of the total assets of a Portfolio. Each
Portfolio will not invest in any security issued by a commercial bank unless
(i) the bank has total assets of at least $1 billion, or the equivalent in
other currencies, (ii) in the case of U.S. banks, it is a member of the Fed-
eral Deposit Insurance Corporation, and (iii) in the case of foreign branches
of U.S. banks, the security is, in the opinion of the Adviser, of an invest-
ment quality comparable with other debt securities which may be purchased by
each Portfolio.
The Fund has received permission from the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") to deposit the daily uninvested cash balances of the Fund's Port-
folios, as well as cash for investment purposes, into one or more joint ac-
counts and to invest the daily balance of the joint accounts in the following
short-term investments: fully collateralized repurchase agreements, interest-
bearing or discounted commercial paper including dollar-denominated commercial
paper of foreign issuers, and any other short-term money market instruments
including variable rate demand notes and tax-exempt money instruments. By en-
tering into these investments on a joint basis, it is expected that a Portfo-
lio may earn a higher rate of return on investments relative to what it could
earn individually.
The Fund has received permission from the SEC for each of its Portfolios to
invest, for cash management purposes, the greater of 5% of its total assets or
$2.5 million in the Fund's DSI Money Market Portfolio. (See "INVESTMENT COMPA-
NIES.")
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
Each Portfolio may invest in repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S.
Government securities, certificates of deposit, and certain bankers' accept-
ances and other securities outlined above under "SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS." In a
13
<PAGE>
repurchase agreement, a Portfolio buys a security and simultaneously commits
to sell that security back at an agreed upon price plus an agreed upon market
rate of interest. Under a repurchase agreement, the seller is also required to
maintain the value of securities subject to the agreement at not less than
100% of the repurchase price. The value of the securities purchased will be
evaluated daily, and the Adviser will, if necessary, require the seller to
maintain additional securities to ensure that the value is in compliance with
the previous sentence. The use of repurchase agreements involves certain
risks. For example, a default by the seller of the agreement may cause a Port-
folio to experience a loss or delay in the liquidation of the collateral se-
curing the repurchase agreement. The Portfolio might also incur disposition
costs in liquidating the collateral. While the Fund's management acknowledges
these risks, it is expected that they can be controlled through stringent se-
curity selection criteria and careful monitoring procedures. The Fund has re-
ceived permission from the SEC to pool daily uninvested cash balances of the
Fund's Portfolios in order to invest in repurchase agreements on a joint ba-
sis. By entering into joint repurchase agreements, a Portfolio may incur lower
transaction costs and earn higher rates of interest on joint repurchase agree-
ments. Each Portfolio's contribution would determine its return from a joint
repurchase agreement. (See "SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS.")
LENDING OF SECURITIES
Each Portfolio may lend its investment securities to qualified institutional
investors as a means of earning income. A Portfolio will not loan securities
to the extent that greater than one-third of its assets at fair market value
would be committed to loans. During the term of a loan, the Portfolio is sub-
ject to a gain or loss depending on any increase or decrease in the market
price of the securities loaned. Lending of securities is subject to review by
the Fund's Board of Directors. All relevant facts and circumstances, including
the creditworthiness of the broker, dealer or institution, will be considered
in making decisions about securities lending.
An investment company may pay reasonable negotiated fees in connection with
loaned securities so long as such fees are set forth in a written contract and
approved by its Board of Directors. The Portfolios will continue to retain any
voting rights with respect to loaned securities. If a material event occurs
affecting an investment on a loan, the loan must be called and the securities
voted.
WHEN-ISSUED, DELAYED SETTLEMENT AND FORWARD DELIVERY SECURITIES
Each Portfolio may purchase and sell securities on a "when-issued," "delayed
settlement," or "forward delivery" basis. Such transactions will be limited
14
<PAGE>
to 20% of the Portfolios' assets. "When-issued" or "forward delivery" refers
to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market
exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. When-issued and
forward de-livery transactions may be expected to occur a month or more before
delivery is due. Delayed settlement is a term used to describe settlement of
securities transactions in the secondary market, which will occur sometime in
the future. No payment or delivery is made by the Portfolio until it receives
payment or delivery from the other party to any of the above transactions. It
is possible that the market price of the securities at the time of delivery
may be higher or lower than the purchase price. Each Portfolio will maintain
cash or liquid securities at least equal to the value of purchase commitments
until payment is made. Such segregated securities will either mature or, if
necessary, be sold on or before the settlement date. A Portfolio receives no
income from "when-issued," "delayed settlement," or "forward-delivery" securi-
ties prior to delivery of such securities although it may earn income on secu-
rities it has deposited in a segregated account.
Each Portfolio engages in these types of purchases in order to buy securi-
ties that fit with its investment objectives at attractive prices--not to in-
crease its investment leverage.
PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
Portfolio turnover for the U.S. Government Portfolio, Domestic Equity Port-
folio, International Equity Portfolio and the Small Cap Equity Portfolio is
not anticipated to exceed 95%, 75%, 50%, and 75% respectively. In addition to
Portfolio trading costs, higher rates of portfolio turnover may result in the
realization of capital gains. (See "DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS AND
TAXES" for more information on taxation). The Portfolios will not normally en-
gage in short-term trading, but each reserves the right to do so. The tables
set forth in "Financial Highlights" present the U.S. Government, Domestic Eq-
uity and International Equity Portfolios' historical portfolio turnover rates.
INVESTMENT COMPANIES
Each Portfolio reserves the right to invest up to 10% of its total assets,
calculated at the time of investment, in the securities of other open-end or
closed-end investment companies. No more than 5% of the investing Portfolio's
total assets may be invested in securities of any one investment company nor
may it acquire more than 3% of the voting securities of any other investment
company. The Portfolio will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any
management fees paid by an investment company in which it invests in addition
to the advisory fee paid by the Portfolio.
15
<PAGE>
The Fund has received permission from the SEC to allow each of its Portfo-
lios to invest, for cash management purposes, the greater of 5% of its total
assets or $2.5 million in the Fund's DSI Money Market Portfolio provided that
the investment is consistent with the Portfolio's investment policies and re-
strictions. Based upon the investing Portfolio's assets invested in the DSI
Money Market Portfolio, the investing Portfolio's adviser will waive its in-
vestment advisory fee and any other fees earned as a result of the Portfolio's
investment in the DSI Money Market Portfolio. The investing Portfolio will
bear expenses of the DSI Money Market Portfolio on the same basis as all of
its other shareholders.
Except as specified above and as described under "INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS,"
the foregoing investment policies are not fundamental and the Fund's Directors
may change such policies without an affirmative vote of a majority of the out-
standing voting securities of a Portfolio, as defined in the 1940 Act.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES
Each Portfolio may purchase restricted securities that are not registered
for sale to the general public but which are eligible for resale to qualified
institutional investors under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. Under
the supervision of the Fund's Board of Directors, the Adviser determines the
liquidity of such investments by considering all relevant factors. Provided
that a dealer or institutional trading market in such securities exists, these
restricted securities are not treated as illiquid securities for purposes of a
Portfolio's investment limitations. A Portfolio will invest no more than 15%
of its net assets in illiquid securities. The prices realized from the sales
of these securities could be less than those originally paid by the Portfolio
or less than what would be considered fair value of such securities.
FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS
In order to remain fully invested, and to reduce transaction costs, each
Portfolio may invest in futures and options and interest rate futures con-
tracts. Because transaction costs associated with futures and options may be
lower than the costs of investing in the securities directly, it is expected
that use of index futures and options to facilitate cash flows may reduce a
Portfolio's overall transaction costs. Each Portfolio may enter into futures
contracts provided that not more than 5% of its total assets are at the time
of acquisition required as margin deposit to secure obligations under such
contracts. A Portfolio will engage in futures and options transactions for
hedging purposes only.
Futures and options can be volatile and involve various degrees and types of
risk. If a Portfolio judges market conditions incorrectly or employs a strat-
egy that does not correlate well with its investments, use of futures and op-
tions contracts
16
<PAGE>
could result in a loss. A Portfolio could also suffer losses if it is unable
to liquidate its position due to an illiquid secondary market. In the opinion
of the Directors of the Fund, the risk that a Portfolio will be unable to
close out a futures position or options contract will be minimized only by en-
tering into futures contracts or options transactions traded on national ex-
changes and for which there appears to be a liquid secondary market.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
Each Portfolio has adopted the following limitations which are designed to
reduce their exposure to risk in specific situations. The U.S. Government, Do-
mestic Equity and International Equity Portfolios will not:
(a) with respect to 50% of its assets, invest more than 5% of its total
assets at the time of purchase in the securities of any single issuer
(other than obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal and in-
terest by the government of the U.S. or any agency or instrumentality
thereof);
(b) with respect to 50% of its assets, purchase more than 10% of any class
of the outstanding voting securities of any issuer;
The Small Cap Equity Portfolio will not:
(a) with respect to 75% of its assets, invest more than 5% of its total
assets at the time of purchase in the securities of any single issuer
(other than obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal and in-
terest by the government of the U.S. or any agency or instrumentality
thereof);
(b) with respect to 75% of its assets, purchase more than 10% of any class
of the outstanding voting securities of any issuer;
In addition, each Portfolio will not:
(c) invest more than 5% of its assets at the time of purchase in the secu-
rities of companies that have (with predecessors) a continuous operat-
ing history of less than 3 years;
(d) invest more than 25% of its assets in companies within a single indus-
try; however, there are no limitations on investments made in instru-
ments issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and its agencies
when the Portfolio adopts a temporary defensive position;
(e) make loans except by purchasing debt securities in accordance with its
investment objective and policies or entering into repurchase agree-
ments or by lending its portfolio securities to banks, brokers, deal-
ers and other financial institutions so long as the loans are made in
compliance
17
<PAGE>
with the 1940 Act, as amended, or the Rules and Regulations or inter-
pretations of the SEC;
(f) (i) borrow, except from banks and as a temporary measure for extraor-
dinary or emergency purposes and then, in no event, in excess of 33
1/3% of the Portfolio's gross assets valued at the lower of market or
cost, and (ii) the Portfolio may not purchase additional securities
when borrowings exceed 5% of total assets; or
(g) pledge, mortgage or hypothecate any of its assets to an extent greater
than 33 1/3% of its total assets at fair market value.
The Portfolios' investment objectives and investment limitations (a), (b),
(d), (e) and (f)(i) are fundamental and may be changed only with the approval
of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of each Portfolio. If a
percentage limitation on investment or utilization of assets as set forth
above is adhered to at the time an investment is made, a later change in per-
centage resulting from changes in the value or total cost of a Portfolio's as-
sets will not be considered a violation of the restriction.
PURCHASE OF SHARES
Shares of each Portfolio are offered through UAM Fund Distributors, Inc.
(the "Distributor"), without a sales commission, at the net asset value per
share next determined after an order is received by the Fund and payment is
received by the Custodian. (See "VALUATION OF SHARES.") The required minimum
initial investment for each Portfolio is $2,500. For all the Portfolios, the
minimum initial investment for IRA accounts is $500. The minimum initial in-
vestment for spousal IRA accounts is $250. Certain exceptions may be deter-
mined by the officers of the Fund.
Shares of the Portfolios may be purchased by customers of broker-dealers or
other financial intermediaries ("Service Agents") which have established a
shareholder servicing relationship with the Fund on behalf of their customers.
Service Agents may impose additional or different conditions on the purchase
or redemption of Portfolio shares and may charge transaction or other account
fees on purchases and redemptions. Each Service Agent is responsible for
transmitting to its customers a schedule of any such fees and information re-
garding any additional or different purchase and redemption conditions. Share-
holders who are customers of Service Agents should consult their Service Agent
for information regarding these fees and conditions. Amounts paid to Service
Agents may include transaction fees and/or service fees paid by the Fund from
the Fund assets attributable to the Service Agent, and which would not be im-
posed if shares of the Portfolio were purchased directly from the Fund or the
Distributor. Service Agents may provide
18
<PAGE>
shareholder services to their customers that are not available to a share-
holder dealing directly with the Fund. A salesperson and any other person en-
titled to receive compensation for selling or servicing Portfolio shares may
receive different compensation with respect to one particular class of shares
over another in the Fund.
Service Agents may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of their cus-
tomers. If shares of a Portfolio are purchased in this manner, the Service
Agent must receive your investment order before the close of trading on the
New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), and transmit it to the Fund's Sub-Transfer
Agent, Chase Global Funds Services Company, prior to the close of its business
day to receive that day's share price. Proper payment for the order must be
received by the Sub-Transfer Agent no later than the time when the Portfolio
is priced on the following business day. Service Agents are responsible to
their customers and the Fund for timely transmission of all subscription and
redemption requests, investment information, documentation and money.

specified on the check or wire. Prior to wiring additional investments, notify
the UAM Funds Service Center at the telephone number on the cover of this Pro-
spectus. Mail orders should include, when possible, the "Invest by Mail" stub
which accompanies any Fund confirmation statement.
OTHER PURCHASE INFORMATION
Investments received by 4 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) (the close of the NYSE)
will be invested at the share price calculated after the NYSE closes on that
day. Investments received after the close of the NYSE will be executed at the
price computed on the next day the NYSE is open. The Fund reserves the right,
in its sole discretion, to suspend the offering of shares of each Portfolio or
to reject purchase orders when, in the judgment of management, such suspension
or rejection is in the best interests of the Fund. Purchases of a Portfolio's
shares will be made in full and fractional shares of the Portfolio calculated
to three decimal places. Certificates for fractional shares will not be is-
sued. Certificates for whole shares will not be issued except at the written
request of the shareholder.
IN-KIND PURCHASES
If accepted by the Fund, shares of each Portfolio may be purchased in ex-
change for securities which are eligible for acquisition by the Portfolio, as
described in this Prospectus. Securities to be exchanged which are accepted by
the
20
<PAGE>
Fund will be valued as detailed under "VALUATION OF SHARES" at the time of the
next determination of net asset value after such acceptance. Shares issued in
exchange for securities will be issued at net asset value determined as of the
same time. All dividends, interest, subscription, or other rights pertaining
to such securities shall become the property of the Portfolio and must be de-
livered to the Fund by the investor upon receipt from the issuer. Securities
acquired through an in-kind purchase will be acquired for investment and not
for immediate resale.
The Fund will not accept securities in exchange for shares of a Portfolio
unless:
. at the time of the exchange, such securities are eligible for invest-
ment by the Portfolio (current market quotations must be readily
available for such securities);
. the investor represents and agrees that all securities offered to be
exchanged are not subject to any restrictions upon their sale by the
Portfolio under the Securities Act of 1933, or otherwise and
. the value of any such securities (except U.S. Government securities)
being exchanged together with other securities of the same issuer
owned by the Portfolio will not exceed 5% of the net assets of the
Portfolio immediately after the transaction.
Investors who are subject to Federal taxation may realize a gain or loss for
Federal income tax purposes upon the exchange depending upon the cost of the
securities or local currency exchanged. Investors interested in such exchanges
should contact the Adviser.
REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Shares of any Portfolio may be redeemed by mail or telephone at any time,
without cost, at the net asset value next determined after receipt of the re-
demption request. No charge is made for redemptions. Any redemption may be
more or less than the purchase price of shares depending on the market value
of the investment securities held by the Portfolio.
BY MAIL
Address requests for redemption to the UAM Funds Service Center. Requests to
redeem shares must include:
. share certificates, if issued;
. a letter of instruction or an assignment specifying the number of
shares or dollar amount to be redeemed, signed by all registered own-
ers of the shares in the exact names in which they are registered;
21
<PAGE>
. any required signature guarantees (see "SIGNATURE GUARANTEES"); and
. any other necessary legal documents, if required, in the case of es-
tates, trusts, guardianships, custodianships, corporations, pension
and profit sharing plans and other organizations.
BY TELEPHONE
A redemption request by telephone requires the following:
. establish the telephone redemption privilege (and if desired, the
wire redemption privilege) by completing appropriate sections of the
Application; and
. call the Fund and instruct that the redemption proceeds be mailed to
you or wired to your bank.
The following tasks cannot be accomplished by telephone:
. changing the name of the commercial bank or the account designated to
receive redemption proceeds (this can be accomplished only by a writ-
ten request signed by each shareholder, with each signature guaran-
teed);
. redemption of certificated shares by telephone.
The Fund and its Sub-Transfer Agent will employ reasonable procedures to
confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine, and they may
be liable for any losses if they fail to do so. These procedures include re-
quiring the investor to provide certain personal identification at the time an
account is opened as well as prior to effecting each transaction requested by
telephone. In addition, all telephone transaction requests will be recorded
and investors may be required to provide additional telecopied written in-
structions of such transaction requests. The Fund or Sub-Transfer Agent may be
liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone instruction
if the Fund or Sub-Transfer Agent does not employ the procedures described
above. Neither the Fund nor the Sub-Transfer Agent will be responsible for any
loss, liability, cost or expense for following instructions received by tele-
phone that it reasonably believes to be genuine.
SIGNATURE GUARANTEES
Signature guarantees are required for the following redemptions:
. redemptions where the proceeds are to be sent to someone other than
the registered shareowner(s);
. redemptions where the proceeds are to be sent to someplace other than
the registered address; or
. share transfer requests.
22
<PAGE>
Signature guarantees will be accepted from any eligible guarantor institu-
tion which participates in a signature guarantee program. Eligible guarantor
institutions include banks, brokers, dealers, credit unions, national securi-
ties exchanges, registered securities associations, clearing agencies and sav-
ings associations. Broker-dealers guaranteeing signatures must be a member of
a clearing corporation or maintain net capital of at least $100,000. Credit
unions must be authorized to issue signature guarantees. A complete definition
of eligible guarantor institutions is available from UAMFSI.
The signature guarantee must appear either:
. on the written request for redemption;
. on a separate instrument for assignment ("stock power") which should
specify the total number of shares to be redeemed; or
. on all stock certificates tendered for redemption and, if shares held
by the Fund are also being redeemed, on the letter or stock power.
OTHER REDEMPTION INFORMATION
Normally, the Fund will make payment for all shares redeemed under proper
procedures within one business day of and no more than seven days after re-
ceipt of the request, or earlier if required under applicable law. The Fund
may suspend the right of redemption or postpone the date at times when both
the NYSE and Custodian Bank are closed, or under any emergency circumstances
as determined by the SEC.
If the Fund's Board of Directors determines that it would be detrimental to
the best interests of the remaining shareholders of the Fund to make payment
wholly or partly in cash, the Fund may pay the redemption proceeds in whole or
in part by a distribution in-kind of liquid securities held by a Portfolio in
lieu of cash in conformity with applicable rules of the SEC. Investors may in-
cur brokerage charges on the sale of portfolio securities received in payment
of redemptions.
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE
Institutional Class Shares of each Portfolio may be exchanged for any other
Institutional Class Shares of any other UAM Funds Portfolio. (See the list of
Portfolios of the UAM Funds at the end of this Prospectus.) Exchange requests
should be made by contacting the UAM Funds Service Center.
Any such exchange will be based on the net asset value of the shares in-
volved. There is no sales commission or charge of any kind for an exchange.
Before making an exchange into a Portfolio, a shareholder should read its Pro-
spectus and consider the investment objectives of the Portfolio to be pur-
chased. Call the UAM
23
<PAGE>
Funds Service Center for a copy of the Prospectus for the Portfolio(s) in
which you are interested. Exchanges can only be made with Portfolios that are
qualified for sale in a shareholder's state of residence.
Exchange requests may be made either by mail or telephone. Telephone ex-
changes will be accepted only if the certificates for the shares to be ex-
changed have not been issued and if the registration of the two accounts will
be identical. Requests for exchange received prior to 4 p.m. ET will be proc-
essed as of the close of business on the same day. The Board of Directors may
limit the frequency and amount of exchanges permitted. For additional informa-
tion regarding responsi- bility for the authenticity of telephoned instruc-
tions, see "REDEMPTION OF SHARES--BY TELEPHONE" above. An exchange into an-
other UAM Funds Portfolio may result in a capital gain or loss for income tax
purposes. The Fund may modify or terminate the exchange privilege at any time.
VALUATION OF SHARES
The net asset value of each Portfolio is determined by dividing the value of
the Portfolio's assets, less any liabilities, by the number of shares out-
standing. The net asset value per share of each Portfolio is determined as of
the close of the NYSE on each day that the NYSE is open for business.
Equity securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange for which market quo-
tations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price on the
day the valuation is made. Price information on listed securities is taken
from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Unlisted equity se-
curities and listed securities not traded on the valuation date for which mar-
ket quotations are readily available are valued not exceeding the current
asked prices nor less than the current bid prices. Quotations of foreign secu-
rities in a foreign currency are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents. The
converted value is based upon the bid price of the foreign currency against
U.S. dollars quoted by any major bank or by a broker.
Bonds and other fixed income securities are valued according to the broadest
and most representative market, which will ordinarily be the over-the-counter
market. In addition, bonds and other fixed income securities may be valued on
the basis of prices provided by a pricing service when such prices are be-
lieved to reflect the fair market value of such securities. Securities pur-
chased with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized
cost using methods approved by the Fund's Board of Directors.
The value of other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily
available (including restricted securities) is determined in good faith at
fair value using methods approved by the Fund's Board of Directors.

PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
The Portfolios measure performance by calculating yield and total return.
Both yield and total return figures are based on historical earnings and are
not intended to indicate future performance.
Yield refers to the income generated by an investment in the Portfolio over
a given period of time, expressed as an annual percentage rate. Yields are
calculated according to a standard that is required for all funds. As this
differs from other accounting methods, the quoted yield may not equal the in-
come actually paid to shareholders.
Total return is the change in value of an investment in the Portfolios over
a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains. A
cumulative or aggregate total return reflects actual performance over a stated
period of time. An average annual total return is a hypothetical rate of re-
turn that, if achieved annually, would have produced the same cumulative total
return if performance had been constant over the entire period.
The Portfolios' performance may be compared to data prepared by independent
services which monitor the performance of investment companies, data reported
in financial and industry publications, and various indices as further de-
scribed in the Portfolios' SAI. This information may also be included in sales
literature and advertising.
The Portfolios' Annual Report to shareholders for the most recent fiscal
year end contains additional performance information that includes comparisons
with appropriate indices. For a free copy of the Annual Report, contact the
UAM Funds Service Center at the address or telephone number on the cover of
this Prospectus.
DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS
Each Portfolio will normally distribute substantially all of its net invest-
ment income (for tax purposes) to shareholders in quarterly dividends. If any
net capital gains are realized, the Portfolios will normally distribute them
annually.
All dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically rein-
vested in additional shares unless the Fund is notified in writing that the
shareholder elects to receive distributions in cash.
FEDERAL TAXES
Each Portfolio intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment
company" under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
25
<PAGE>
for federal income tax purposes and to meet all other requirements that are
necessary for it (but not its shareholders) to be exempt from federal taxes on
income and gains paid to shareholders in the form of dividends. To do this,
each Portfolio must, among other things, distribute substantially all of its
ordinary income and net capital gains on a current basis and maintain a port-
folio of investments which satisfies certain diversification criteria.
Dividends paid by a Portfolio from net investment income, whether in cash or
reinvested in shares, are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. Short-
term capital gains will be taxed as ordinary income. Long-term capital gains
distributions are taxed as long-term capital gains. Shareholders will be noti-
fied annually of dividend income earned for tax purposes.
Dividends declared in October, November and December to shareholders of rec-
ord in such a month will be deemed to have been paid by the Fund and received
by the shareholders on December 31 of such calendar year, provided that the
dividends are paid before February 1 of the following year.
The Fund is required by Federal law to withhold 31% of reportable payments
paid to shareholders who have not complied with IRS taxpayer identification
regulations. To avoid this withholding requirement, you must certify that your
Social Security or Taxpayer Identification Number provided is correct and that
either you are not currently subject to backup withholding or you are exempt
from backup withholding. This certification must be made on the Application or
on a separate form supplied by the Fund.
Dividends and interest received by each Portfolio may give rise to withhold-
ing and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. These taxes reduce each
Portfolio's dividends but are included in the taxable income reported on your
tax statement if each Portfolio qualifies for this tax treatment and elects to
pass it through to you. Consult a tax adviser for more information regarding
deductions and credits for foreign taxes.

</TABLE>
The Adviser may compensate its affiliated companies for referring investors
to the Portfolios. The Distributor, UAM, the Adviser, or any of their affili-
ates, may, at its own expense, compensate a Service Agent or other person for
marketing, shareholder servicing, record-keeping and/or other services per-
formed with respect to the Fund, a Portfolio or any Class of Shares of a Port-
folio. Payments made for any of these purposes may be made from its revenues,
its profits or any other source available to it. When in effect, such services
arrangements are made generally available to all qualified service providers.
The Distributor, the Adviser, and certain of their affiliates also partici-
pate, at the date of this Prospectus, in an arrangement with Smith Barney Inc.
under which Smith Barney provides certain defined contribution plan marketing
and shareholder services of its Consulting Group and receives .15 of 1% of the
daily net asset value of Institutional Class Shares held by Smith Barney's el-
igible customer accounts in
27

addition to amounts payable to all selling dealers. The Fund also compensates
Smith Barney for services it provides to certain contribution plan sharehold-
ers that are not otherwise provided by UAMFSI.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
UAM Fund Services, Inc. ("UAMFSI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, is re-
sponsible for performing and overseeing administrative, fund accounting, divi-
dend disbursing and transfer agent services provided to the Fund and its Port-
folios.
UAMFSI's principal office is located at 211 Congress Street, Boston, MA
02110. UAMFSI has subcontracted some of these services to Chase Global Funds
Services Company ("CGFSC"), an affiliate of The Chase Manhattan Bank, by a Mu-
tual Funds Service Agreement dated April 15, 1996. CGFSC is located at 73
Tremont Street, Boston, MA 02108.
The Portfolio pays UAMFSI a two part monthly fee: a Portfolio specific fee
which is retained by UAMFSI and a sub-administration fee which UAMFSI in turn
pays to CGFSC. The Portfolio specific fees are the following percentages of
aggregate net assets:
<TABLE>

U.S. Government Portfolio.............................................. 0.04%
Domestic Equity Portfolio.............................................. 0.04%
International Equity Portfolio......................................... 0.06%
Small Cap Equity Portfolio............................................. 0.04%
</TABLE>
CGFSC's monthly fee for its services is calculated on an annualized basis as
follows:
0.19 of 1% of the first $200 million of combined Fund assets;
0.11 of 1% of the next $800 million of combined Fund assets;
0.07 of 1% of combined Fund assets in excess of $1 billion but less than
$3 billion;
0.05 of 1% of combined Fund assets in excess of $3 billion.
Fees are allocated among the Portfolios on the basis of their relative as-
sets and are subject to a graduated minimum fee schedule per Portfolio, which
starts at $2,000 per month and increases to $70,000 annually after two years.
If a separate class of shares is added to a Portfolio, its minimum annual fee
increases by $20,000.

DISTRIBUTOR
UAM Fund Distributors, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, with its
principal office located at 211 Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110,
distributes the shares of the Fund. Under the Distribution Agreement (the
"Agreement"), the Distributor, as agent for the Fund, agrees to use its best
efforts as sole distributor of Fund shares. The Distributor does not receive
any fee or other compensation under the Agreement with respect to the McKee
Portfolios included in this Prospectus. The Agreement continues in effect so
long as it is approved at least annually by the Fund's Board of Directors.
Those approving the Agreement must include a majority of Directors who are
neither parties to such Agreement nor interested persons of any such party.
The Agreement provides that the Fund will bear the costs of the registration
of its shares with the SEC and various states and the printing of its prospec-
tuses, its SAIs and its reports to shareholders.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
The Advisory Agreements authorize the Adviser to select the brokers or deal-
ers that will execute the purchases and sales of investment securities for
each Portfolio. The Agreements direct the Adviser to use its best efforts to
obtain the best available price and most favorable execution for all transac-
tions of the Portfolios. If consistent with the interests of the Portfolios,
the Adviser may select brokers on the basis of research, statistical and pric-
ing services these brokers provide to the Portfolios in addition to required
Adviser services. Such brokers may be paid a higher commission than that which
another qualified broker would have charged for effecting the same transac-
tion, provided that such commissions are paid in compliance with the Securi-
ties Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and that the Adviser determines in good
faith that the commission is reasonable in terms either of the transaction or
the overall responsibility of the Adviser to the Portfolios and the Adviser's
other clients. Although not a typical practice, the Adviser may place portfo-
lio orders with qualified broker-dealers who refer clients to the Adviser.
If a purchase or sale of securities is consistent with the investment poli-
cies of a Portfolio and one or more other clients served by the Adviser is
considering a purchase at or about the same time, transactions in such securi-
ties will be allocated among the Portfolio and clients in a manner deemed fair
and reasonable by the Adviser. Although there is no specified formula for al-
locating such transactions, allocations are subject to periodic review by the
Fund's Directors.

GENERAL INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS
The Fund was organized as a Maryland corporation on October 11, 1988 under
the name "ICM Fund, Inc." On January 18, 1989, the name of the Fund was
changed to "The Regis Fund, Inc." On October 31, 1995, the name of the Fund
was changed to "UAM Funds, Inc." The Fund's Articles of Incorporation, as
amended, permit the Board of Directors to issue three billion shares of common
stock, with a $.001 par value. The Directors have the power to designate one
or more series or classes of shares of common stock and to classify or reclas-
sify any unissued shares with respect to such Portfolios, without further ac-
tion by shareholders. The Board of Directors may create additional Portfolios
and Classes of shares of the Fund at its discretion.
The shares of each Portfolio and Class are fully paid and nonassessable and
have no preference as to conversion, exchange, dividends, retirement or other
features and have no pre-emptive rights. The shares of each Portfolio and
Class have non-cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more
than 50% of the shares voting for the election of Directors can elect 100% of
the Directors. A shareholder is entitled to one vote for each full share held
(and a fractional vote for each fractional share held), then standing in his
name on the books of the Fund. As of December 31, 1996, Chase Manhattan Bank,
Trustee for Servistar Corp. Profit Sharing Plan Trust, New York, NY held of
record 66.3% of the outstanding shares of the U.S. Government Portfolio and
64.3% of the outstanding shares of the Domestic Equity Portfolio for which
ownership is disclaimed or presumed disclaimed. The persons or organizations
owning 25% or more of the outstanding shares of a Portfolio may be presumed to
"control" (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) such Portfolio. As a re-
sult, those persons or organizations could have the ability to vote a majority
of the shares of the Portfolio on any matter requiring the approval of share-
holders of such Portfolio.
Annual meetings will not be held except as required by the 1940 Act and
other applicable laws. The Fund has undertaken that its Directors will call a
meeting of shareholders if such a meeting is requested in writing by the hold-
ers of not less than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund will
assist shareholder communications in such matters.
CUSTODIAN
The Chase Manhattan Bank serves as Custodian of the Fund's assets.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The following policies supplement the investment objectives and policies of
the McKee U.S. Government, McKee Domestic Equity, McKee International Equity
and McKee Small Cap Equity Portfolios (the "McKee Portfolios") as set forth in
the McKee Prospectus:
LENDING OF SECURITIES
Each Portfolio may lend its investment securities to qualified brokers, deal-
ers, domestic and foreign banks or other financial institutions, so long as
the terms, the structure and the aggregate amount of such loans are not incon-
sistent with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act")
or the Rules and Regulations or interpretations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") thereunder, which currently require that (a) the bor-
rower pledge and maintain with the Portfolio collateral consisting of cash, an
irrevocable letter of credit issued by a domestic U.S. bank or securities is-
sued or guaranteed by the United States Government having a value at all times
not less than 100% of the value of the securities loaned, (b) the borrower add
to such collateral whenever the price of the securities loaned rises (i.e.,
the borrower "marks to the market" on a daily basis), (c) the loan be made
subject to termination by the Portfolio at any time, and (d) the Portfolio re-
ceives reasonable interest on the loan (which may include the Portfolio in-
vesting any cash collateral in interest bearing short-term investments). As
with other extensions of credit, there are risks of delay in recovery or even
loss of rights in the securities loaned if the borrower of the securities
fails financially. These risks are similar to the ones involved with repur-
chase agreements as discussed in the Prospectus.
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
(1) Time deposits, certificates of deposit (including marketable variable
rate certificates of deposit) and bankers' acceptances issued by a
commercial bank or savings and loan association. Time deposits are
non-negotiable deposits maintained in a banking institution for a
specified period of time at a stated interest rate. Time deposits ma-
turing in more than seven days will not be purchased by a Portfolio,
and time deposits maturing from two business days through seven calen-
dar days will not exceed 15% of the total assets of a Portfolio.
Certificates of deposit are negotiable short-term obligations issued by com-
mercial banks or savings and loan associations collateralized by funds depos-
ited in the issuing institution. Variable rate certificates of deposit are
certificates of deposit on which the interest rate is periodically adjusted
prior to their stated maturity based upon a specified market rate. A banker's
acceptance is a time draft drawn on a commercial bank by a borrower, usually
in connection with an international commercial transaction (to finance the im-
port, export, transfer or storage of goods).
2
<PAGE>
Each Portfolio will not invest in any security issued by a commercial bank
unless (i) the bank has total assets of at least $1 billion, or the equivalent
in other currencies, (ii) in the case of U.S. banks, it is a member of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and (iii) in the case of foreign
branches of U.S. banks, the security is, in the opinion of the Adviser, of an
investment quality comparable with other debt securities which may be pur-
chased by each Portfolio;
(2) Commercial paper rated A-1 or A-2 by S&P or Prime-1 or Prime-2 by
Moody's or, if not rated, issued by a corporation having an outstand-
ing unsecured debt issue rated A or better by Moody's or by S&P;
(3) Short-term corporate obligations rated BBB or better by S&P or Baa by
Moody's;
(4) U.S. Government obligations including bills, notes, bonds and other
debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury. These are direct obliga-
tions of the U.S. Government and differ mainly in interest rates, ma-
turities and dates of issue;
(5) U.S. Government agency securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Govern-
ment sponsored instrumentalities and Federal agencies. These include
securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal Land Bank,
Farmers Home Administration, Federal Farm Credit Banks, Federal Inter-
mediate Credit Bank, Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal
Financing Bank, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and others; and
(6) Repurchase agreements collateralized by securities listed above.
INVESTMENTS IN FOREIGN SECURITIES
Investors in the McKee International Equity Portfolio should recognize that
investing in foreign companies involves certain special considerations which
are not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. Since the secu-
rities of foreign companies are frequently denominated in foreign currencies,
the Portfolio may be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in currency
rates and in exchange control regulations, and may incur costs in connection
with conversions between various currencies.
As foreign companies are not generally subject to uniform accounting, audit-
ing and financial reporting standards and they may have policies that are not
comparable to those of domestic companies, there may be less information
available about certain foreign companies than about domestic companies. Secu-
rities of some foreign companies are generally less liquid and more volatile
than securities of comparable domestic companies. There is generally less gov-
ernment supervision and regulation of stock exchanges, brokers and listed com-
panies than in the U.S. In addition, with respect to certain foreign coun-
tries, there is the possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation, po-
litical or social instability, or diplomatic developments which could affect
U.S. investments in those countries.
3
<PAGE>
Although the McKee International Equity Portfolio will endeavor to achieve
the most favorable execution costs in its portfolio transactions, fixed com-
missions on many foreign stock exchanges are generally higher than negotiated
commissions on U.S. exchanges.
Certain foreign governments levy withholding taxes on dividend and interest
income. Although in some countries a portion of these taxes are recoverable,
the non-recoverable portion of foreign withholding taxes will reduce the in-
come received from the companies comprising the Portfolio's investments. How-
ever, these foreign withholding taxes are not expected to have a significant
impact.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS
The U.S. dollar value of the assets of the McKee International Equity Port-
folio may be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in foreign currency
exchange rates and exchange control regulations, and the Portfolio may incur
costs in connection with conversions between various currencies. The Portfolio
will conduct their foreign currency exchange transactions either on a spot
(i.e., cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency ex-
change market, or through entering into forward foreign currency exchange con-
tracts ("forward contracts") to purchase or sell foreign currencies. A forward
contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a
future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the con-
tract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract.
These contracts are traded in the interbank market conducted directly between
currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. A for-
ward contract generally has no deposit requirement, and no commissions are
charged at any stage for such trades.
The McKee International Equity Portfolio may enter into forward contracts in
several circumstances. When the Portfolio enters into a contract for the pur-
chase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency, or when the
Portfolio anticipates the receipt in a foreign currency of dividends or inter-
est payments on a security which it holds, the Portfolio may desire to "lock-
in" the U.S. dollar price of the security or the U.S. dollar equivalent of
such dividend or interest payment, as the case may be. By entering into a for-
ward contract for a fixed amount of dollars, for the purchase or sale of the
amount of foreign currency involved in the underlying transactions, the Port-
folio will be able to protect itself against a possible loss resulting from an
adverse change in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and the subject
foreign currency during the period between the date on which the security is
purchased or sold, or on which the dividend or interest payment is declared,
and the date on which such payments are made or received.
Additionally, when the Portfolio anticipates that the currency of a particu-
lar foreign country may suffer a substantial decline against the U.S. dollar,
it may enter into a forward contract for a fixed amount of dollars, to sell
the amount of foreign
4
<PAGE>
currency approximating the value of some or all of the Portfolio's securities
denominated in such foreign currency. The precise matching of the forward con-
tract amounts and the value of the securities involved will not generally be
possible since the future value of securities in foreign currencies will
change as a consequence of market movements in the value of these securities
between the date on which the forward contract is entered into and the date it
matures. The projection of short-term currency market movement is extremely
difficult, and the successful execution of a short-term hedging strategy is
highly uncertain. The Portfolio does not intend to enter into such forward
contracts to protect the value of portfolio securities on a regular or contin-
uous basis. The Portfolio will not enter into such forward contracts or main-
tain a net exposure to such contracts where the consummation of the contracts
would obligate the Portfolio to deliver an amount of foreign currency in ex-
cess of the value of the Portfolio securities or other assets denominated in
that currency.
Under normal circumstances, consideration of the prospect for currency pari-
ties will be incorporated into the long-term investment decisions made with
regard to overall diversification strategies. However, the Adviser believes
that it is important to have the flexibility to enter into such forward con-
tracts when it determines that the best interests of the performance of the
Portfolio will thereby be served. The Fund's Custodian will place cash, U.S.
government securities, or high-grade debt securities into a segregated account
of the Portfolio in an amount equal to the value of the Portfolio's total as-
sets committed to the consummation of forward contracts. If the value of the
securities placed in the segregated account declines, additional cash or secu-
rities will be placed in the account on a daily basis so that the value of the
account will be equal to the amount of the Portfolio's commitments with re-
spect to such contracts.
The Portfolio generally will not enter into a forward contract with a term
of greater than one year. At the maturity of a forward contract, the Portfolio
may either sell the security and make delivery of the foreign currency, or it
may retain the security and terminate its contractual obligation to deliver
the foreign currency by purchasing an "offsetting" contract with the same cur-
rency trader obligating it to purchase, on the same maturity date, the same
amount of the foreign currency.
It is impossible to forecast with absolute precision the market value of a
particular portfolio security at the expiration of the contract. Accordingly,
it may be necessary for the Portfolio to purchase additional foreign currency
on the spot market (and bear the expense of such purchase) if the market value
of the security is less than the amount of foreign currency that the Portfolio
is obligated to deliver and if a decision is made to sell the security and
make delivery of the foreign currency.
If the Portfolio retains the portfolio security and engages in an offsetting
transaction, the Portfolio will incur a gain or loss (as described below) to
the extent that there has been movement in forward contract prices. Should
forward prices
5
<PAGE>
decline during the period between the Portfolio entering into a forward con-
tract for the sale of a foreign currency and the date it enters into an off-
setting contract for the purchase of the foreign currency, the Portfolio will
realize a gain to the extent that the price of the currency it has agreed to
sell exceeds the price of the currency it has agreed to purchase. Should for-
ward prices increase, the Portfolio would suffer a loss to the extent that the
price of the currency it has agreed to purchase exceeds the price of the cur-
rency it has agreed to sell.
The Portfolio's dealings in forward contracts will be limited to the trans-
actions described above. Of course, the Portfolio is not required to enter
into such transactions with regard to their foreign currency-denominated secu-
rities. It also should be realized that this method of protecting the value of
portfolio securities against a decline in the value of a currency does not
eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. It simply
establishes a rate of exchange which one can achieve at some future point in
time. Additionally, although such contracts tend to minimize the risk of loss
due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, at the same time, they
tend to limit any potential gain which might result should the value of such
currency increase.
FEDERAL TAX TREATMENT OF FORWARD CONTRACTS
In order for the McKee International Equity Portfolio to continue to qualify
for Federal income tax treatment as a regulated investment company under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), at least 90% of its
gross income for a taxable year must be derived from certain qualifying in-
come, i.e., dividends, interest, income derived from loans of securities and
gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign cur-
rencies, or other related income, including gains from forward contracts, de-
rived with respect to its business investing in stock, securities or curren-
cies. Any net gain realized from the closing out of forward contracts will,
therefore, generally be qualifying income for purposes of the 90% requirement.
Qualification as a regulated investment company also requires that less than
30% of the Portfolio's gross income be derived from the sale or other disposi-
tion of stock, securities or forward contracts (including certain foreign cur-
rencies not directly related to the Fund's business of investing in stock or
securities) held less than three months. In order to avoid realizing excessive
gains on securities held for less than three months, the McKee International
Equity Portfolio may be required to defer the closing out of contracts beyond
the time when it would otherwise be advantageous to do so. It is anticipated
that unrealized gains on contracts which have been open for less than three
months as of the end of the Portfolio's taxable year, and which are recognized
for tax purposes, will not be considered gains on securities held for less
than three months for the purposes of the 30% test.
The Portfolio will distribute to shareholders annually any net capital gains
which have been recognized for Federal income tax purposes (including
unrealized
6
<PAGE>
gains at the end of the Portfolio's taxable year) on regulated futures trans-
actions. Such distribution will be combined with distributions of capital
gains realized on the Portfolio's other investments, and shareholders will be
advised on the nature of the payment.
PURCHASE OF SHARES
Shares of each McKee Portfolio may be purchased without a sales commission at
the net asset value per share next determined after an order is received in
proper form by the Fund and payment is received by the Fund's custodian. The
minimum initial investment required for each of the McKee Portfolios is $2,500.
Certain exceptions may be determined from time to time by the officers of the
Fund. Other investment minimums are: initial IRA investment, $500, initial
spousal IRA investment, $250; minimum additional investment for each of the
McKee Portfolios is $100. An order received in proper form prior to the 4:00
p.m. close of the New York Stock Exchange ("Exchange") will be executed at the
price computed on the date of receipt; and an order received not in proper form
or after the 4:00 p.m. close of the Exchange will be executed at the price
computed on the next day the Exchange is open after proper receipt. The Exchange
will be closed on the following days: Memorial Day, May 26, 1997; Independence
Day, July 4, 1997; Labor Day, September 1, 1997; Thanksgiving Day, November 27,
1997; Christmas Day, December 25, 1997; New Year's Day, January 1, 1998.
Each Portfolio reserves the right in its sole discretion (1) to suspend the
offering of its shares, (2) to reject purchase orders when in the judgment of
management such rejection is in the best interests of the Fund, and (3) to re-
duce or waive the minimum for initial and subsequent investment for certain
fiduciary accounts such as employee benefit plans or under circumstances where
certain economies can be achieved in sales of a Portfolio's shares.
REDEMPTION OF SHARES
Each Portfolio may suspend redemption privileges or postpone the date of
payment (1) during any period that both the Exchange and custodian bank are
closed or trading on the Exchange is restricted as determined by the Commis-
sion, (2) during any period when an emergency exists as defined by the rules
of the Commission as a result of which it is not reasonably practicable for a
Portfolio to dispose of securities owned by it or to fairly determine the
value of its assets, and (3) for such other periods as the Commission may per-
mit. The Fund has made an election with the Commission to pay in cash all re-
demptions requested by any shareholder of record limited in amount during any
90-day period to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net assets of the Fund at
the beginning of such period. Such commitment is irrevocable without the prior
approval of the Commission. Redemp-
7
<PAGE>
tions in excess of the above limits may be paid, in whole or in part, in in-
vestment securities or in cash as the Directors may deem advisable; however,
payment will be made wholly in cash unless the Directors believe that economic
or market conditions exist which would make such a practice detrimental to the
best interests of the Fund. If redemptions are paid in investment securities,
such securities will be valued as set forth in the Prospectus under "Valuation
of Shares" and a redeeming shareholder would normally incur brokerage expenses
if these securities were converted to cash.
No charge is made by a Portfolio for redemptions. Any redemption may be more
or less than the shareholder's initial cost depending on the market value of
the securities held by the Portfolio.
SIGNATURE GUARANTEES
To protect your account, the Fund and Chase Global Funds Services Company
("CGFSC") from fraud, signature guarantees are required for certain redemp-
tions. Signature guarantees are required for (1) redemptions where the pro-
ceeds are to be sent to someone other than the registered shareowner(s) or the
registered address or (2) share transfer requests. The purpose of signature
guarantees is to verify the identity of the party who has authorized a redemp-
tion.
Signatures must be guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution" as de-
fined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Eligible
guarantor institutions include banks, brokers, dealers, credit unions, na-
tional securities exchanges, registered securities associations, clearing
agencies and savings associations. A complete definition of eligible guarantor
institution is available from CGFSC. Broker-dealers guaranteeing signatures
must be a member of a clearing corporation or maintain net capital of at least
$100,000. Credit unions must be authorized to issue signature guarantees. Sig-
natures guarantees will be accepted from any eligible guarantor institution
which participates in a signature guarantee program.
The signature guarantee must appear either: (1) on the written request for
redemption; (2) on a separate instrument for assignment ("stock power") which
should specify the total number of shares to be redeemed; or (3) on all stock
certificates tendered for redemption and, if shares held by the Fund are also
being redeemed, on the letter or stock power.
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES
The following supplements the shareholder services information set forth in
the McKee Portfolios' Prospectus:
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE
Institutional Class Shares of each McKee Portfolio may be exchanged for In-
stitutional Class Shares of the other McKee Portfolios. In addition, Institu-
tional
8
<PAGE>
Class Shares of each McKee Portfolio may be exchanged for any other Institu-
tional Class Shares of a Portfolio included in the UAM Funds which is com-
prised of the Fund and UAM Funds Trust. (See the list of Portfolios of the UAM
Funds -- Institutional Class Shares at the end of the Prospectus.) Exchange
requests should be made by calling the Fund (1-800-638-7983) or by writing to
UAM Funds, UAM Funds Service Center, c/o Chase Global Funds Services Company,
P.O. Box 2798, Boston, MA 02208-2798. The exchange privilege is only available
with respect to Portfolios that are qualified for sale in the shareholder's
state of residence.
Any such exchange will be based on the respective net asset values of the
shares involved. There is no sales commission or charge of any kind. Before
making an exchange into a Portfolio, a shareholder should read its Prospectus
and consider the investment objectives of the Portfolio to be purchased. You
may obtain a Prospectus for the Portfolio(s) you are interested in by calling
the UAM Funds Service Center at 1-800-638-7983.
Exchange requests may be made either by mail or telephone. Telephone ex-
changes will be accepted only if the certificates for the shares to be ex-
changed are held by the Fund for the account of the shareholder and the regis-
tration of the two accounts will be identical. Requests for exchanges received
prior to 4:00 p.m. ET will be processed as of the close of business on the
same day. Requests received after 4:00 p.m. ET will be processed on the next
business day. Neither the Fund nor CGFSC will be responsible for the authen-
ticity of the exchange instructions received by telephone. Exchanges may also
be subject to limitations as to amounts or frequency, and to other restric-
tions established by the Board of Directors to assure that such exchanges do
not disadvantage the Fund and its shareholders.
For Federal income tax purposes an exchange between Portfolios is a taxable
event, and, accordingly, a capital gain or loss may be realized. In a revenue
ruling relating to circumstances similar to the Fund's, an exchange between
series of a Fund was also deemed to be a taxable event. It is likely, there-
fore, that a capital gain or loss would be realized on an exchange between
Portfolios; you may want to consult your tax adviser for further information
in this regard. The exchange privilege may be modified or terminated at any
time.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
The following limitations supplement those set forth in the Prospectus.
Whenever an investment limitation sets forth a percentage limitation on in-
vestment or utilization of assets, such limitation shall be determined immedi-
ately after and as a result of the Portfolios' acquisition of such security or
other asset. Accordingly, any later increase or decrease resulting from a
change in values, net assets or other circumstances will not be considered
when determining whether the investment complies with the Portfolios' invest-
ment limitations. A Portfolio's fundamental
9
<PAGE>
investment limitations cannot be changed without approval by a "majority of
the outstanding shares" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of that Portfolio. The
Portfolios will not:
(1) invest in physical commodities or contracts on physical commodities;
(2) purchase or sell real estate or real estate limited partnerships, al-
though it may purchase and sell securities of companies which deal in
real estate and may purchase and sell securities which are secured by
interests in real estate;
(3) make loans except (i) by purchasing debt securities in accordance
with its investment objectives and (ii) by lending its portfolio se-
curities to banks, brokers, dealers and other financial institutions
so long as such loans are not inconsistent with the 1940 Act or the
rules and regulations or interpretations of the Commission thereun-
der;
(4) underwrite the securities of other issuers;
(5) issue senior securities, as defined in the 1940 Act, except that this
restriction shall not be deemed to prohibit a Portfolio from (i) mak-
ing any permitted borrowings, mortgages or pledges, or (ii) entering
into repurchase transactions;
(6) purchase on margin or sell short;
(7) purchase or retain securities of an issuer if those officers and Di-
rectors of the Fund or its investment adviser owning more than 1/2 of
1% of such securities together own more than 5% of such securities;
(8) invest more than an aggregate of 15% of the net assets of the Portfolio,
determined at the time of investment, in securities subject to legal
or contractual restrictions on resale or securities for which there
are no readily available markets;
(9) invest for the purpose of exercising control over management of any
company; and
(10) write or acquire options or interests in oil, gas or other mineral
exploration or development programs.

ceives a $2,000 meeting fee which is aggregated for all of the Directors and
allocated proportionately among the Portfolios of the Fund and UAM Funds Trust
and reimbursement for travel and other expenses incurred while attending Board
meetings. Directors who are also officers or affiliated persons receive no re-
muneration for their service as Directors. The Fund's officers and employees

lio on any matter requiring the approval of shareholders of such Portfolio.
INVESTMENT ADVISER
CONTROL OF ADVISER
C.S. McKee & Company (the "Adviser") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAM, a
holding company incorporated in Delaware in December 1980 for the purpose of
acquiring and owning firms engaged primarily in institutional investment man-
agement. Since its first acquisition in August 1983, UAM has acquired or orga-
nized approximately 45 such wholly-owned affiliated firms (the "UAM
- -----------
* Denotes shares held by a trustee or other fiduciary for which beneficial
ownership is disclaimed or presumed disclaimed.
13
<PAGE>
Affiliated Firms"). UAM believes that permitting UAM Affiliated Firms to re-
tain control over their investment advisory decisions is necessary to allow
them to continue to provide investment management services that are intended
to meet the particular needs of their respective clients.
Accordingly, after acquisition by UAM, UAM Affiliated Firms continue to op-
erate under their own firm name, with their own leadership and individual in-
vestment philosophy and approach. Each UAM Affiliated Firm manages its own
business independently on a day-to-day basis. Investment strategies employed
and securities selected by UAM Affiliated Firms are separately chosen by each
of them.
PHILOSOPHY AND STYLE
The Adviser's philosophical approach to all asset classes is to be opportu-
nistic while controlling risk. This approach captures opportunity, when avail-
able, to provide capital growth, consistent with the Fund's pursuit of total
return while quantifying and controlling risk to protect capital. The purpose
of this approach is to generate favorable results through a high quality, low
risk portfolio. The Adviser's approach is to look for companies which are sta-
tistically inexpensive yet have improving fundamentals. A number of statisti-
cal measures are used to rank the initial pool of over 2,000 stocks. The top-
ranking stocks are then subjected to fundamental analytical screens prior to
investment.
REPRESENTATIVE INSTITUTIONAL CLIENTS
As of the date of this Statement of Additional Information, the Adviser's
representative institutional clients included: Blue Cross of Western Pennsyl-
vania, City of Pittsburgh, The Dickinson School of Law, City of Wichita, Kan-
sas and the YWCA of Greater Pittsburgh.
In compiling this client list, the Adviser used objective criteria such as
account size, geographic location and client classification. The Adviser did
not use any performance based criteria. It is not known whether these clients
approve or disapprove of the Adviser or the advisory services provided.
ADVISORY FEES
As compensation for services rendered by the Adviser under the Investment
Advisory Agreements, the Portfolio pays the Adviser an annual fee in monthly
installments, calculated by applying the following annual percentage rates to
each Portfolio's average daily net assets for the month:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
RATE
----
<S> <C>
McKee U.S. Government Portfolio........ 0.45%
McKee Domestic Equity Portfolio........ 0.65%
McKee International Equity Portfolio... 0.70%
McKee Small Cap Equity Portfolio....... 1.00%
</TABLE>
For the period from May 26, 1994 (commencement of operations) to October 31,
1994, McKee International Equity Portfolio paid advisory fees of
14
<PAGE>
approximately $93,000. For the fiscal years ended October 31, 1995 and 1996,
the McKee International Equity Portfolio paid advisory fees of approximately
$453,000 and $618,081, respectively. For the period from March 2, 1995
(commencement of operations) to October 31, 1995, the McKee U.S. Government
Portfolio and the McKee Domestic Equity Portfolio paid no advisory fees, and
for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1996, these Portfolios paid advisory
fees of $48,813 and $222,792, respectively. During these periods, the Adviser
voluntarily waived advisory fees of approximately $9,000 and $18,140 for the
U.S. Government Portfolio, and $15,000 and $15,445 for the Domestic Equity
Portfolio, respectively.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
The Investment Advisory Agreements authorize the Adviser to select the bro-
kers or dealers that will execute the purchases and sales of investment secu-
rities for the Portfolios and direct the Adviser to use its best efforts to
obtain the best execution with respect to all transactions for the Portfolios.
In doing so, a Portfolio may pay higher commission rates than the lowest rate
available when the Adviser believes it is reasonable to do so in light of the
value of the research, statistical, and pricing services provided by the bro-
ker effecting the transaction. It is not the Fund's practice to allocate bro-
kerage or effect principal transactions with dealers on the basis of sales of
shares which may be made through broker-dealer firms. However, the Adviser may
place portfolio orders with qualified broker-dealers who recommend the Fund's
Portfolios or who act as agents in the purchase of shares of the Portfolios
for their clients. During the fiscal years ended, October 31, 1994, 1995 and
1996, the entire Fund paid brokerage commissions of approximately $2,402,000,
$2,983,000, and $2,887,884, respectively.
Some securities considered for investment by the Portfolios may also be ap-
propriate for other clients served by the Adviser. If purchases or sales of
securities consistent with the investment policies of a Portfolio and one or
more of these other clients served by the Adviser is considered at or about
the same time, transactions in such securities will be allocated among the
Portfolio and clients in a manner deemed fair and reasonable by the Adviser.
Although there is no specified formula for allocating such transactions, the
various allocation methods used by the Adviser, and the results of such allo-
cations, are subject to periodic review by the Fund's Directors.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
As stated in the Prospectus, the Board of Directors of the Fund approved a
new Fund Administration Agreement between UAM Fund Services, Inc., a wholly-
owned subsidiary of UAM, and the Fund. The Fund's Directors also approved a
Mutual Fund Services Agreement between UAM Fund Services, Inc.
15
<PAGE>
("UAMFSI") and Chase Global Funds Services Company ("CGFSC"). The services
provided by UAMFSI and CGFSC and the basis of the fees payable by the Fund un-
der the Fund Administration Agreement are described in the Portfolios' Pro-
spectus. Prior to April 15, 1996, CGFSC or its predecessor, Mutual Funds Serv-
ice Company, provided certain administrative services to the Fund under an Ad-
ministration Agreement between the Fund and U.S. Trust Company of New York.
The basis of the fees paid to CGFSC for 1994 and 1995 and the fiscal period to
April 14, 1996 was as follows: the Fund paid a monthly fee for its services
which on an annualized basis equaled 0.20% of the first $200 million in com-
bined assets; plus 0.12% of the next $800 million in combined assets; plus
0.08% on assets over $1 billion but less than $3 billion; plus 0.06% on assets
over $3 billion. The fees were allocated among the Portfolios on the basis of
their relative assets and were subject to a designated minimum fee schedule
per Portfolio, which ranged from $2,000 per month upon inception of a Portfo-
lio to $70,000 annually after two years. For the period from May 26, 1994
(commencement of operations) to October 31, 1994, administrative services fees
paid to the Administrator by the McKee International Equity Portfolio totaled
$21,000. During the fiscal years ended October 31, 1995 and 1996, administra-
tive services fees paid to the Administrator by the McKee International Equity
Portfolio totaled approximately $82,000 and $137,744, respectively. Of the to-
tal fees paid in the fiscal year ended 1996, $56,555 was paid by UAMFSI to
CGFSC. For the period from March 2, 1995 to October 31, 1995, and for the fis-
cal year ended October 31, 1996, administrative services fees paid to the Ad-
ministrator by the McKee U.S. Government Portfolio and the McKee Domestic Eq-
uity Portfolio totaled approximately $20,000 and $67,641, and $21,000, and
$74,694, respectively. Of the fees paid in the fiscal year ended October 31,
1996, $40,022 and $38,491 was paid by UAMFSI to CGFSC on behalf of the U.S.
Government and Domestic Equity Portfolio, respectively. The services provided
by the Administrator and the basis of the fees payable to the Administrator
are described in the Portfolios' Prospectus.
PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS
PERFORMANCE
The Portfolios may from time to time quote various performance figures to
illustrate past performance. Performance quotations by investment companies
are subject to rules adopted by the Commission, which require the use of stan-
dardized performance quotations or, alternatively, that every non-standardized
performance quotation furnished by the Fund be accompanied by certain stan-
dardized performance information computed as required by the Commission. Cur-
rent yield and average annual compounded total return quotations used by the
Fund are based on the standardized methods of computing performance mandated
by the Commission. An explanation of those and other methods used to compute
or express performance follows.

<PAGE>
YIELD
Current yield reflects the income per share earned by a Portfolio's invest-
ment. The current yield of the McKee U.S. Government Portfolio is determined
by dividing the net investment income per share earned during a 30-day base
period by the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period
and annualizing the result. Expenses accrued for the period include any fees
charged to all shareholders during the base period. The yield for the McKee
U.S. Government Portfolio for the 30-day period ended on October 31, 1996 was
5.74%.
This figure was obtained using the following formula:
Yield = 2[( a - b + 1 )/6/ - 1]
-----
cd
where:
a = dividends and interest earned during the period
b = expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements)
c = the average daily number of shares outstanding during the period that
were entitled to receive income distributions
d = the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period.
TOTAL RETURN
The average annual total return of a Portfolio is determined by finding the
average annual compounded rates of return over 1, 5 and 10 year periods that
would equate an initial hypothetical $1,000 investment to its ending redeem-
able value. The calculation assumes that all dividends and distributions are
reinvested when paid. The quotation assumes the amount was completely redeemed
at the end of each 1, 5 and 10 year period and the deduction of all applicable
Fund expenses on an annual basis.
The average annual total return for the McKee International Equity Portfo-
lio, the McKee U.S. Government Portfolio, and the McKee Domestic Equity Port-
folio from inception and for the one year ended on the date of the Financial
Statements included herein are as follows:

These figures are calculated according to the following formula:
P(1 + T)n = ERV
where:
P
= a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
T
= average annual total return
n
= number of years
ERV
= ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at
the beginning of the 1, 5 or 10 year periods at the end of the 1,
5 or 10 year periods (or fractional portion thereof).
COMPARISONS

In assessing such comparisons of performance, an investor should keep in
mind that the composition of the investments in the reported indices and aver-
ages is not identical to the composition of investments in the Portfolio, that
the averages are generally unmanaged, and that the items included in the cal-
culations of such averages may not be identical to the formula used by the
Portfolio to calculate its performance. In addition, there can be no assurance
that the Fund will continue this performance as compared to such other aver-
ages.

GENERAL INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS
The Fund was organized under the name "ICM Fund, Inc." as a Maryland corpo-
ration on October 11, 1988. On January 18, 1989, the name of the Fund was
changed to "The Regis Fund, Inc." On October 31, 1995, the name of the Fund
was changed to "UAM Funds, Inc." The Fund's principal executive office is lo-
cated at One International Place, Boston, MA 02110; however, all investor cor-
respondence should be directed to the Fund at UAM Funds Service Center, c/o
Chase Global Mutual Funds Services Company, P.O. Box 2798, Boston, MA 02208-
2798. The Fund's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize the Direc-
tors to issue 3,000,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value. The Board
of Directors has the power to designate one or more series ("Portfolios") or
classes of common stock and to classify or reclassify any unissued shares with
respect to such Portfolios, without further action by shareholders.
DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS
The Fund's policy is to distribute substantially all of each Portfolio's net
investment income, if any, together with any net realized capital gains in the
amount and at the times that will avoid both income (including capital gains)
taxes on it and the imposition of the Federal excise tax on undistributed in-
come and capital gains. (See discussion under "Dividends, Capital Gains Dis-
tributions and Taxes" in the Prospectus.) The amounts of any income dividends
or capital gains distributions cannot be predicted.
Any dividend or distribution paid shortly after the purchase of shares of
the Portfolios by an investor may have the effect of reducing the per share
net asset value of the Portfolio by the per share amount of the dividend or
distribution. Furthermore, such dividends or distributions, although in effect
a return of capital, are subject to income taxes as set forth in the Prospec-
tus.
As set forth in the Prospectus, unless the shareholder elects otherwise in
writing, all dividend and capital gains distributions are automatically re-
ceived in additional shares of the Portfolio at net asset value (as of the
business day following the record date). This will remain in effect until the
Fund is notified by the shareholder in writing at least three days prior to
the record date that either the Income Option (income dividends in cash and
capital gains distributions in additional shares at net asset value) or the
Cash Option (both income dividends and capital gains distributions in cash)
has been elected. An account statement is sent to shareholders whenever an in-
come dividend or capital gains distribution is paid.
The Portfolios will be treated as a separate entity (and hence as a separate
"regulated investment company") for Federal tax purposes. Any net capital
gains recognized by a Portfolio will be distributed to its investors without
need to offset
21
<PAGE>
(for Federal income tax purposes) such gains against any net capital losses of
another Portfolio.
FEDERAL TAXES
In order for the Portfolios to continue to qualify for Federal income tax
treatment as a regulated investment company under the Code, at least 90% of
its gross income for a taxable year must be derived from qualifying income,
i.e., dividends, interest, income derived from loans of securities, and gains
from the sale of securities or foreign currencies or other income derived with
respect to its business of investing in such securities or currencies. In ad-
dition, gains realized on the sale or other disposition of securities held for
less than three months must be limited to less than 30% of a Portfolio's an-
nual gross income.
The Portfolios will distribute to shareholders annually any net capital
gains which have been recognized for Federal income tax purposes. Shareholders
will be advised on the nature of the payments.
CODE OF ETHICS
The Fund has adopted a Code of Ethics which restricts to a certain extent
personal transactions by access persons of the Fund and imposes certain dis-
closure and reporting obligations.

The Financial Statements of the McKee Portfolios and the Financial Highlights
for the respective periods presented, which appear in the Portfolios' 1996

MCKEE PORTFOLIOS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UAM Funds, Inc. and UAM Funds Trust (collectively the "UAM Funds") are reg-
istered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The McKee U.S.
Government Portfolio, McKee Domestic Equity Portfolio, and McKee International
Equity Portfolio (the "Portfolios"), portfolios of UAM Funds, Inc., are non-
diversified, open-end management investment companies. At October 31, 1996,
the UAM Funds were composed of forty active portfolios. The financial state-
ments of the remaining portfolios are presented separately. The objectives of
the McKee Portfolios are as follows:
MCKEE U.S. GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIO seeks to achieve a high level of current
income consistent with preservation of capital by investing primarily in
U.S. Treasury and Government agency securities.
MCKEE DOMESTIC EQUITY PORTFOLIO seeks to achieve a superior long-term
total return over a market cycle by investing primarily in equity securi-
ties of U.S. issuers.
MCKEE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO seeks to achieve a superior long-
term total return over a market cycle by investing primarily in the equity
securities of non-U.S. issuers.
A. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: The following significant accounting
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Such
policies are consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of its
financial statements. Generally accepted accounting principles may require
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from
those estimates.
1. SECURITY VALUATION: Equity securities listed on a United States
securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are
valued at the last quoted sales price as of the close of the exchange on
the day the valuation is made or, if no sale occurred on such day, at the
bid price on such day. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued
at their closing price. Price information on listed securities is taken
from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Over-the-counter
and unlisted equity securities are valued not exceeding the current asked
prices nor less than the current bid prices. Fixed income securities are
stated on the basis of valuations provided by brokers and/or a pricing
service which uses information with respect to transactions in fixed
income securities, quotations from dealers, market transactions in
comparable securities and various relationships between securities in
determining value. Short-term investments that have remaining maturities
of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized
45

MCKEE PORTFOLIOS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
cost, if it approximates market value. The value of other assets and
securities for which no quotations are readily available is determined in
good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of
Directors.
2. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the Portfolio's intention to qualify as a
regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code and to distribute all of its taxable income. Accordingly, no provi-
sion for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements.
The McKee International Equity Portfolio may be subject to taxes imposed
by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on either
income or gains earned or repatriated. The McKee International Equity
Portfolio accrues such taxes when the related income is earned.
At October 31, 1996, the McKee U.S. Government Portfolio had available
$86,623 of capital loss carryover for Federal income tax purposes, which
will expire on October 31, 2004.
3. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: In connection with transactions involving re-
purchase agreements, the Portfolio's custodian bank takes possession of
the underlying securities, the value of which exceeds the principal amount
of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent
that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the
collateral is monitored on a daily basis to determine the adequacy of the
collateral. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the
Portfolios have the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the pro-
ceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. In the event of default or bank-
ruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention
of the collateral or proceeds may be subject to legal proceedings.
Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the UAM Funds may transfer their daily uninvested cash bal-
ances into a joint trading account which invests in one or more repurchase
agreements. This joint repurchase agreement is covered by the same collat-
eral requirements as discussed above.
4. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: The books and records of the McKee
International Equity Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment
securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign
currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. The
McKee International Equity Portfolio does not isolate that portion of
realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the
foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market
prices of the
46
<PAGE>
MCKEE PORTFOLIOS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and
unrealized gain and loss on investments on the statement of operations.
Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency
transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from forward
foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies,
currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on
securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the
investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the McKee
International Equity Portfolio's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent
amounts actually received or paid.
5. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS: The McKee International
Equity Portfolio may enter into forward foreign currency exchange con-
tracts to protect the value of securities held and related receivables and
payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates. A forward cur-
rency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell cur-
rency at a set price on a future date. The market value of the contract
will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is
marked-to-market daily using the current forward rate and the change in
market value is recorded by the McKee International Equity Portfolio as
unrealized gain or loss. The McKee International Equity Portfolio recog-
nizes realized gain or loss when the contract is closed, equal to the dif-
ference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and
the value at the time it was closed. Risks may arise upon entering into
these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the
terms of their contracts and are generally limited to the amount of
unrealized gain on the contracts, if any, at the date of default. Risks
may also arise from the unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign
currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
6. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Each Portfolio will normally distrib-
ute substantially all of its net investment income quarterly. Any realized
net capital gains will be distributed annually. All distributions are re-
corded on ex-dividend date.
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be
paid are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These dif-
ferences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the
timing of the recognition of gains or losses on investments and for for-
eign currency transactions.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distri-
butions resulted in reclassifications as follows:

</TABLE>
Current year permanent book-tax differences are not included in ending
undistributed net investment income (loss) for the purpose of calculating
net investment income (loss) per share in the financial highlights.
7. OTHER: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date, the
date the trade was executed. Costs used in determining realized gains and
losses on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific
identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded
as soon as the McKee International Equity Portfolio is informed of the ex-
dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Dis-
counts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized using the effec-
tive yield basis over their respective lives. Most expenses of the UAM
Funds can be directly attributed to a particular portfolio. Expenses which
cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the portfolios of the
UAM Funds based on their relative net assets. Additionally, certain ex-
penses are apportioned among the portfolios of the UAM Funds and AEW Com-
mercial Mortgage Securities Fund, Inc. ("AEW"), an affiliated closed-end
management investment company, based on their relative net assets. Custo-
dian fees for the Portfolios have been increased to include expense off-
sets for custodian balance credits.
B. ADVISORY SERVICES: Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement,
C.S. McKee & Co., Inc. (the "Adviser"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of United
Asset Management Corporation ("UAM"), provides investment advisory services to
the Portfolios at a fee calculated at an annual rate of 0.45%, 0.65% and 0.70%

ing expenses, after

H. LINE OF CREDIT: The Portfolios, along with certain other portfolios of

ticipate in a $100 million unsecured line of credit with several banks.
Borrowings will be made solely to temporarily finance the repurchase of Capi-
tal shares. Interest is charged to each participating Portfolio based on its
borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds rate plus 0.75%. In
addition, a commitment fee of 1/10th of 1% per annum, payable at the end of
each calendar quarter, is accrued by each participating Portfolio based on its
average daily unused portion of the line of credit. During the year ended Oc-
tober 31, 1996, the Portfolios had no borrowings under the agreement.
I. OTHER: At October 31, 1996, the percentage of total shares outstanding

At October 31, 1996, the net assets of the McKee International Equity Port-
folio was substantially composed of foreign denominated securities and/or cur-
rency. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of and invest-
ment income from such securities and currency.
Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considera-
tions and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated
transactions as a result of, among other factors, the possibly lower level of
governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the
possibility of political or economic instability.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors of UAM Funds, Inc. and the Shareholders of
McKee U.S. Government Portfolio
McKee Domestic Equity Portfolio
McKee International Equity Portfolio
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, in-
cluding the portfolios of investments, and the related statements of opera-
tions and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fair-
ly, in all material respects, the financial position of McKee U.S. Government
Portfolio, McKee Domestic Equity Portfolio, and McKee International Equity
Portfolio (the "Portfolios"), Portfolios of the UAM Funds, Inc., at October
31, 1996, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of
their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial
statements") are the responsibility of the Portfolios' management; our respon-
sibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and per-
form the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presenta-
tion. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at
October 31, 1996 by correspondence with the custodians and brokers and the ap-
plication of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers
were not received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

APPENDIX -- DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES AND RATINGS
DESCRIPTION OF CORPORATE BOND RATINGS
MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC. CORPORATE BOND RATINGS:
Aaa -- Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be the best quality. They
carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as
"gilt-edge." 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 stan-
dards. 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 protec-
tive elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements pres-
ent which make the long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securi-
ties.
Moody's applies numerical modifiers 1, 2 and 3 in the Aa and A rating cate-
gories. The modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks at a higher end of
the rating category, modifier 2 indicates a mid-range rating and the modifier
3 indicates that the issue ranks at the lower end of the rating category.
A -- Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes
and are to be considered as upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving se-
curity 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 in-
terest and principal payments may be very moderate, and thereby not well safe-
guarded during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of posi-
tion 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.
A-1
<PAGE>
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 short-
comings.
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.
STANDARD & POOR'S CORPORATION CORPORATE BOND RATINGS:
AAA -- Bonds rated AAA have the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's
to a debt obligation and indicate an extremely strong capacity to pay princi-
pal and interest.
AA -- Bonds rated AA have a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal and differ from the highest rated issues only to a small degree.
A -- Bonds rated A have a strong capacity to pay interest and repay princi-
pal although they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of
changes in circumstances and economic conditions than bonds in higher rated
categories.
BBB -- Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay in-
terest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection
parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for
debt in this category than for debt in higher rated categories.
BB, B, CCC, CC -- Debt rated BB, B, CCC and CC is regarded, on balance, as
predominantly speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay
principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. BB indicates the
lowest degree of speculation and CC the highest degree of speculation. While
such debt will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these
are outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse con-
ditions.
C -- The rating C is reserved for income bonds on which no interest is being
paid.
D -- Debt rated D is in default, and payment of interest and/or repayment of
principal is in arrears.
