WHO SHOULD INVEST. Each Fund has its own suitability considerations and risk
factors, as summarized below and described in detail under "Investment
Objectives and Policies." The Funds are designed primarily for institutions as
an economical and convenient means for the investment of short-term funds that
they hold for their own account or hold or manage for others. These
institutions include corporations, banks, trust companies, insurance companies,
investment counsellors, pension funds, employee benefit plans, law firms,
trusts, estates and educational, religious and charitable organizations. See
"Purchases" and "Management."
RISK FACTORS. There can be no assurance that any Fund will achieve its
investment objective. In periods of declining interest rates, a Fund's yield
will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing short-term market rates, and in
periods of rising interest rates, a Fund's yield generally will be somewhat
lower. Money Market Fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of
foreign issuers, which may present a greater degree of risk than investments in
securities of domestic issuers. See "Investment Objective and Policies" for
more information about these and other risk factors.

EXAMPLE OF EFFECT OF FUND EXPENSES*
An investor would pay directly or indirectly the following expenses on a
$1,000 investment in each Fund, assuming a 5% annual return:

Treasury Securities Fund
Institutional shares.......................... $ 3 $10 $17 $38
Financial Intermediary shares................. $ 6 $18 $31 $69
</TABLE>
This Example assumes that all dividends are reinvested and that the
percentage amounts listed under Annual Fund Operating Expenses remain the same
in the years shown. The above tables and the assumption in the Example of a 5%
annual return are required by regulations of the SEC applicable to all mutual
funds; the assumed 5% annual return is not a prediction of, and does not
represent, any Fund's projected or actual performance.
THE EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE
EXPENSES, AND EACH FUND'S ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE MORE OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.
The actual expenses of each Fund will depend upon, among other things, the
level of average net assets and the extent to which each Fund incurs variable
expenses, such as transfer agency costs, and the extent to which PaineWebber
waives fees or reimburses a Fund for expenses.

(footnotes from previous page)
*Information in the expense table and the example reflect an agreement by
PaineWebber and Mitchell Hutchins to waive 0.05% of the management fees and to
reduce or otherwise limit the expenses of each Fund, on an annualized basis, to
0.30% and 0.55% of each Fund's average daily net assets for Institutional
shares and Financial Intermediary shares, respectively. In the absence of this
agreement, Money Market Fund's, Government Securities Fund's and Treasury
Securities Fund's total operating expenses, stated as a percentage of average
net assets, would have been 0.30%, 0.53% and 0.72%, respectively, for
Institutional shares and 0.55%, 0.78% and 0.97%, respectively, for Financial
Intermediary shares. Without this agreement, under the assumptions set forth in
the example above, the expenses on a $1,000 investment in Money Market Fund,
Government Securities Fund and Treasury Securities Fund at the end of one,
three, five and ten years would have been $3, $10, $17 and $38; $5, $17, $30
and $66; and $7, $23, $40 and $89, respectively, for Institutional shares and
would have been $6, $18, $31 and $69; $8, $25, $43 and $97; and $10, $31, $54
and $119, respectively, for Financial Intermediary shares. PaineWebber and
Mitchell Hutchins do not anticipate that they will waive fees or reimburse
expenses in the current fiscal year, except to the extent necessary to comply
with the fee waiver and total expense limitation agreement described above.
**No Financial Intermediary shares were outstanding during each Fund's last
fiscal year.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The following tables provide investors with selected data and ratios for one
share of each class of shares outstanding for each Fund for each of the peri-
ods shown. No Financial Intermediary shares were outstanding during the fiscal
years ended April 30, 1997 and 1996. This information is supplemented by the
financial statements, accompanying notes and the unqualified report of Ernst &
Young LLP, independent auditors, which appear in the Funds' Annual Report to
Shareholders for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1997 and are incorporated by
reference into the Statement of Additional Information. The Funds' Annual Re-
port to Shareholders may be obtained without charge by calling 1-888-LIR-FUND.
The financial statements and notes, as well as the information in the tables
appearing below insofar as it relates to the fiscal years ended April 30, 1997
and 1996, have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP. The financial information
for periods prior to 1996 was audited by another independent accounting firm,
whose reports thereon were unqualified.

** For the years ended April 30, 1996 and 1997 and for the period from Decem-
ber 24, 1994 to April 30, 1995 there were no outstanding Financial Inter-
mediary shares of Money Market Fund. For the years ended April 30, 1996
and 1997 and for the period from March 22, 1995 to April 30, 1996 there
were no outstanding Financial Intermediary shares of Government Securities
Fund.
(1) Kidder Peabody Asset Management, Inc., the Funds' predecessor investment
adviser and administrator, purchased certain of Money Market Fund's and
Government Securities Fund's variable rate securities on July 6, 1994 at
prices equal to the securities' amortized cost plus accrued and unpaid in-
terest. Since the purchases were made at prices above the securities' cur-
rent fair value, the Funds recorded a contribution to capital.
(2) Total investment return is calculated assuming a $1,000 investment on the
first day of each period reported, reinvestment of all dividends and dis-
tributions at net asset value on the payable dates, and a sale at net as-
set value on the last date of each period reported. Total investment re-
turn for periods of less than one year has not been annualized.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The investment objective of each Fund is to earn high current income to the
extent consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of li-
quidity through investments in a diversified portfolio of high quality, short-
term, U.S. dollar-denominated money market instruments. Each Fund seeks to
meet this objective by following different investment policies.
Each Fund maintains a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days
or less. All securities in which each Fund invests have or are deemed to have
remaining maturities of 397 days or less on the date of purchase. In managing
each Fund's portfolio, Mitchell Hutchins may employ a number of professional
money management techniques, including varying the composition and the
weighted average maturity of each Fund's portfolio based upon its assessment
of the relative values of various money market instruments and future interest
rate patterns, in order to respond to changing economic and money market con-
ditions and to shifts in fiscal and monetary policy. Mitchell Hutchins may
also seek to improve a Fund's yield by purchasing or selling securities to
take advantage of yield disparities among similar or dissimilar money market
instruments that regularly occur in the money markets.
There can be no assurance that the Funds will achieve their investment ob-
jectives. In periods of declining interest rates, the Funds' yields will tend
to be somewhat higher than prevailing short-term market rates, and in periods
of rising interest rates the opposite generally will be true. Also, when in-
terest rates are falling, net cash inflows from the continuous sale of a
Fund's shares are likely to be invested in portfolio instruments producing
lower yields than the balance of that Fund's portfolio, thereby reducing its
yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the opposite can be true.
MONEY MARKET FUND
Money Market Fund invests in high quality, short-term, U.S. dollar-denomi-
nated money market instruments. These instruments include government securi-
ties, obligations of banks, commercial paper and other short-term corporate
obligations, corporate bonds and notes, variable and floating rate securities
and participation interests or repurchase agreements involving any of the
foregoing securities. Participation interests are pro rata interests in secu-
rities held by others.
The U.S. government securities in which the Money Market Fund may invest in-
clude direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury (such as Treasury bills, notes
and bonds) and obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies
and instrumentalities, including securities that are supported by the full
faith and credit of the United States (such as Government National Mortgage
Association certificates ("GNMAs")), securities supported primarily or solely
by the creditworthiness of the issuer (such as securities of the Resolution
Funding Corporation and the Tennessee Valley Authority) and securities that
are supported primarily or solely by specific pools of assets and the credit-
worthiness of a U.S. government-related issuer (such as mortgage-backed secu-
rities issued by Fannie Mae, also known as the Federal National Mortgage Asso-
ciation).
Money Market Fund may invest in obligations (including certificates of de-
posit, bankers' acceptances and similar obligations) of U.S. and foreign banks
having total assets in excess of $1.5 billion at the time of purchase. The
Fund may invest in non-negotiable time deposits of U.S. banks, savings associ-
ations and similar depository institutions having total assets in excess of
$1.5 billion at the time of purchase only if the time deposits have maturities
of seven days or less. Money Market Fund also may invest in interest-bearing
savings deposits in U.S. banks and savings associations having total assets of
$1.5 billion or less, provided that the principal amount of each deposit is
fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and provided that
the aggregate principal amount of such deposits (plus interest earned) does
not exceed 5% of the Fund's assets.
The commercial paper and other short-term obligations purchased by Money
Market Fund consist only of obligations that Mitchell Hutchins determines,
pursuant to procedures adopted by the Trust's board of trustees (sometimes re-
ferred to as the "board"), present minimal credit risks and are either (1)
rated in the highest short- term rating category by at least two nationally
recognized statistical rating organizations ("NRSROs"), (2) rated in the high-
est short-term rating category by a single NRSRO if only that NRSRO has as-
signed the obligations a short-term rating, (3) was issued by an issuer that
has received such a short-term rating with respect to
8
<PAGE>
a security that is comparable in priority and security, or (4) is unrated, but
determined by Mitchell Hutchins to be of comparable quality ("First Tier Secu-
rities"). The Fund generally may invest no more than 5% of its total assets in
the securities of a single issuer (other than securities issued by the U.S.
government, its agencies or instrumentalities).
GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND
Government Securities Fund invests in U.S. government securities, the inter-
est income from which is generally exempt from state income taxation. The Fund
intends to emphasize investments in securities eligible for this exemption in
the maximum number of states. Securities generally eligible for this exemption
include those issued by the U.S. Treasury and those issued by certain agen-
cies, authorities or instrumentalities of the U.S. government, including the
Federal Home Loan Banks, Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corp. and the Stu-
dent Loan Marketing Association. The Fund seeks to invest substantially all of
its assets in securities with these characteristics. Under extraordinary cir-
cumstances, however, such as when securities with those characteristics are
unavailable at prices deemed reasonable by Mitchell Hutchins, the Fund may
temporarily hold cash or invest in other U.S. government securities, such as
those issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Small Business Administration. The Fund may
acquire any of the above securities on a forward commitment or when-issued ba-
sis. The Fund will not enter into repurchase agreements.
Each investor should consult its own tax advisor to determine whether dis-
tributions from Government Securities Fund derived from interest on its port-
folio securities are exempt from state income taxation in the investor's own
state.
TREASURY SECURITIES FUND
Treasury Securities Fund invests exclusively in securities issued by the
U.S. Treasury, which are supported by the full faith and credit of the United
States. The Fund may acquire any of these securities on a forward commitment
or when-issued basis. The Fund will not enter into repurchase agreements.
OTHER INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISK FACTORS
U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. Money Market Fund may also acquire custodial re-
ceipts that evidence ownership of future interest payments, principal payments
or both that have been "stripped" from certain U.S. Treasury notes or bonds.
These custodial receipts are known by various names, including "Treasury In-
vestment Growth Receipts" ("TIGRs") and "Certificates of Accrual on Treasury
Securities" ("CATS"). Each Fund may also invest in separately traded principal
and interest components of securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Trea-
sury. The principal and interest components of selected securities are traded
independently under the Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal
of Securities ("STRIPS") program. Under the STRIPS program, the principal and
interest components are individually numbered and separately issued by the
U.S. Treasury. The staff of the SEC currently takes the position that inter-
ests in "stripped" U.S. government securities that are not part of the STRIPS
program are not U.S. government securities.
VARIABLE AND FLOATING RATE SECURITIES. Money Market Fund and Government Se-
curities Fund may purchase variable and floating rate securities with remain-
ing maturities in excess of 13 months issued by U.S. government agencies or
instrumentalities or guaranteed by the U.S. government. In addition, Money
Market Fund may purchase variable and floating rate securities of other is-
suers with remaining maturities in excess of 13 months if they are subject to
a demand feature exercisable within 13 months or less. The yield on these se-
curities is adjusted in relation to changes in specific rates, such as the
prime rate, and different securities may have different adjustment rates. The
Funds' investments in these securities must comply with conditions established
by the SEC under which they may be considered to have remaining maturities of
13 months or less. A demand feature gives a Fund the right to tender them back
to the issuer or a remarketing agent and receive the principal amount of the
security prior to maturity. The demand feature may be backed by letters of
credit or other liquidity support arrangements provided by banks or other fi-
nancial institutions, whose credit standing affects the credit quality of the
obligation. Changes in the credit quality of these institutions could cause
losses to a Fund and affect its share price.
VARIABLE AMOUNT MASTER DEMAND NOTES. Securities purchased by Money Market
Fund may include variable amount master demand notes, which are unsecured re-
deemable obliga-
9
<PAGE>
tions that permit investment of varying amounts at fluctuating interest rates
under a direct agreement between the Fund and the issuer. The principal amount
of these notes may be increased from time to time by the parties (subject to
specified maximums) or decreased by the Fund or the issuer. These notes are
payable on demand and are typically unrated.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Money Market Fund may enter into repurchase agree-
ments with U.S. banks and dealers with respect to any security in which that
Fund is authorized to invest, except that securities subject to repurchase
agreements may have maturities in excess of 13 months. Repurchase agreements
are transactions in which the Fund purchases securities from a bank or recog-
nized securities dealer and simultaneously commits to resell the securities to
that bank or dealer at an agreed upon date or upon demand and at a price re-
flecting a market rate of interest unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of
the purchased securities. Although repurchase agreements carry certain risks
not associated with direct investments in securities, including possible de-
cline in the market value of the underlying securities and delays and costs to
the Fund if the other party to the repurchase agreement becomes insolvent, the
Fund intends to enter into repurchase agreements only with banks and dealers
in transactions believed by Mitchell Hutchins to present minimal credit risks
in accordance with guidelines established by the board.
FOREIGN SECURITIES. Money Market Fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated
securities of foreign issuers, including debt securities of foreign corpora-
tions and foreign governments and obligations of foreign banks. Such invest-
ments may involve risks that are different from investments in U.S. issuers.
These risks may include future unfavorable political and economic develop-
ments, possible withholding taxes, seizure of foreign deposits, currency con-
trols, interest limitations or other governmental restrictions that might af-
fect the payment of principal or interest on the securities held by the Fund.
Additionally, there may be less publicly available information about foreign
issuers as these issuers may not be subject to the same regulatory require-
ments as domestic issuers.
LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. Each Fund may lend its securities to quali-
fied broker-dealers or institutional investors in an amount up to 33 1/3% of
the Fund's total assets taken at market value. Lending securities enables the
Funds to earn additional income, but could result in a loss or delay in recov-
ering these securities.
OTHER INVESTMENT POLICIES. Each Fund may purchase securities on a "when-is-
sued" or forward commitment basis, that is, for delivery beyond the normal
settlement date at a stated price and yield. A Fund generally would not pay
for such securities or start earning interest on them until they are received.
However, when a Fund purchases securities on a when-issued basis, it immedi-
ately assumes the risks of ownership, including the risk of price fluctuation.
Failure by the issuer to deliver a security purchased on a when-issued basis
may result in a loss or missed opportunity to make an alternative investment.
Each Fund may borrow money from banks for temporary purposes in an aggregate
amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of the value of the Fund's total assets. A Fund
may not purchase portfolio securities while borrowings exceed 5% of the value
of the Fund's assets.
No Fund will invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities,
including repurchase agreements with maturities in excess of seven days.
A Fund's investment objective may not be changed without the approval of its
shareholders. Certain other investment limitations, as described in the State-
ment of Additional Information, also may not be changed without shareholder
approval. All other investment policies may be changed by the board without
shareholder approval.
PURCHASES
The Funds accept the settlement of purchase orders only in available federal
funds. ("Federal funds" are funds deposited by a commercial bank in an account
at a Federal Reserve Bank that can be transferred to a similar account of an-
other bank in one day and thus may be made immediately available to a Fund
through its custodian.)
Each Fund offers investors the choice of investing in two separate classes
of shares--Institutional shares and Financial Intermediary shares. Institu-
tional shares in each Fund are available for purchase by institutional invest-
ors, and, at the discretion of PaineWebber, for purchase by individuals or
other entities. Financial Intermediary shares in each Fund are available for
purchase only by banks and other financial intermediaries for the benefit of
their customers. Financial Intermediary shares bear all fees pay-
10
<PAGE>
able by the Fund to those financial intermediaries for certain services they
provide to the beneficial owners of these shares.
The minimum initial investment is $1,000,000 in Money Market Fund or Govern-
ment Securities Fund (or in a combination of both) and $250,000 in Treasury
Securities Fund. These minimums may be waived at the discretion of
PaineWebber. Financial intermediaries purchasing shares for the accounts of
their customers may set a higher or lower minimum for their customers, pro-
vided that when their customers' shareholdings are aggregated, the above noted
minimum investment levels are met. There is no minimum subsequent investment,
except that certain financial intermediaries may establish minimums for subse-
quent investments by their customers. Investors interested in purchasing Fi-
nancial Intermediary shares should consult their financial institutions con-
cerning any initial or subsequent minimum investment requirements.
Shares of the Funds are offered for sale, without a sales charge, at the net
asset value per share next determined after receipt and acceptance of a pur-
chase order by the Transfer Agent, subject to timely receipt of federal funds
as provided below. An investor can place a purchase order up until 2:30 p.m.
(Eastern time) for Money Market Fund and 12:00 noon (Eastern time) for Govern-
ment Securities Fund and Treasury Securities Fund by telephoning the Transfer
Agent at 1-888-LIR-FUND and speaking with a representative. Investors may also
place an order through a PaineWebber Investment Executive or correspondent
firm who must then relay the order to the Transfer Agent by the times noted
above. For the purchase of Fund shares to be effected on that Business Day,
the investor must wire federal funds to the Trust, care of the Transfer Agent,
and that wire must be credited to that bank account by a Federal Reserve Bank
on that Business Day. Otherwise, the order will be executed as of such times
on the following Business Day if federal funds have been received by that
time. Calls may be initiated by any authorized party on the account, including
your PaineWebber Investment Executive. A "Business Day" is any day on which
the Massachusetts offices of the Trust's custodian, State Street Bank and
Trust Company ("Custodian"), and the Transfer Agent, and the New York City of-
fices of PaineWebber and PaineWebber's bank are all open for business.
The Trust and PaineWebber reserve the right to reject any purchase order and
to suspend the offering of Fund shares for a period of time.
The availability of Fund shares to customers of PaineWebber's correspondent
firms may vary depending on the arrangements between PaineWebber and such
firms.
Investors who are purchasing shares should instruct their banks to transfer
federal funds by wire. Wire transfers should be directed to:
LIR Fund
[insert Fund name: Money Market, Government or Treasury]
c/o BSD&T Company
CR DDA #13-860-6
CR PW A/C #
[insert PaineWebber account name and account number]
ABA #011001234
Unless the investor otherwise specifies, all shares purchased will be Insti-
tutional shares.
REMOTE TRADE ENTRY. At its discretion, the Trust may offer eligible institu-
tional investors who meet certain conditions an electronic trade order entry
(RTE) capability. For more information on this option, please contact your
PaineWebber Investment Executive or the Transfer Agent at 1-888-LIR-FUND.
PaineWebber and/or an investor's bank may impose a service charge for wire
transfers.
EXCHANGES
Shareholders may exchange shares of one Fund for shares of another Fund
based on the next determined net asset value per share. Exchange orders are
accepted up until 12:00 noon (Eastern time) for each Fund by telephoning the
Transfer Agent at 1-888-LIR-FUND and speaking with a representative. Investors
may also place an order through a PaineWebber Investment Executive or corre-
spondent firm which must then relay the order to the Transfer Agent as noted
above. Calls may be initiated by any authorized party on the account, includ-
ing your PaineWebber Investment Executive.
Exchange transactions must meet the minimum initial investment of the new
Fund. There is no minimum for subsequent exchanges between Fund accounts once
they have been activated.
REDEMPTIONS
Shareholders may redeem all or any portion of the shares in their accounts
at any time at the
11
<PAGE>
net asset value per share next computed after the receipt of a redemption re-
quest in proper form by the Transfer Agent. Redemption orders are accepted up
until 2:30 p.m. (Eastern time) for Money Market Fund and up until 12:00 noon
(Eastern time) for Government Securities Fund and Treasury Securities Fund by
telephoning the Transfer Agent at 1-888-LIR-FUND and speaking with a represen-
tative. Investors may also place an order through a PaineWebber Investment Ex-
ecutive or correspondent firm which must then relay the order to the Transfer
Agent by the times noted above. Calls may be initiated by any authorized party
on the account, including your PaineWebber Investment Executive. Redemption
proceeds will be paid by federal funds wired to one or more of the bank ac-
counts that have been designated by the shareholder, normally on the Business
Day the redemption request is accepted.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON REDEMPTIONS. Shareholders with questions about re-
demption requirements should consult their PaineWebber Investment Executives,
correspondent firms or the Transfer Agent at 1-888-LIR-FUND. Shareholders will
earn dividends on redeemed shares up to (but not including) the day of redemp-
tion. The redemption price may be more or less than the purchase price, de-
pending on the market value of a Fund's portfolio; however, each Fund antici-
pates that its net asset value per share will normally be $1.00 per share. See
"Valuation of Shares."
There is no minimum amount for redemptions.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY SHARES. Each Fund's shares
are sold and redeemed without charge by the Fund. Financial intermediaries
purchasing or holding Financial Intermediary shares for their customer ac-
counts may charge customers for cash management and other services provided in
connection with their accounts, including, for instance, account maintenance
fees, compensating balance requirements or fees based on account transactions,
assets or income. The dividends payable to beneficial owners of Financial In-
termediary shares will be reduced by the amount of fees paid by a Fund for
services provided by financial intermediaries through which those shares are
purchased and held. See "Financial Intermediaries." A customer should consider
the terms of his or her account with a financial intermediary before purchas-
ing shares. A financial intermediary purchasing or redeeming shares on behalf
of its customers is responsible for transmitting orders to the Transfer Agent
in accordance with its customer agreements and the procedures noted above.
VALUATION OF SHARES
Each Fund uses its best efforts to maintain its net asset value at $1.00 per
share. Each Fund's net asset value per share is determined by dividing the
value of its investments and other assets minus its liabilities by the number
of Fund shares outstanding. The net asset value per share for Money Market
Fund is determined once each Business Day at 2:30 p.m. (Eastern time). The net
asset value per share for Government Securities Fund and Treasury Securities
Fund is determined once each Business Day at 12:00 noon (Eastern time).
Each Fund values its portfolio securities using the amortized cost method of
valuation, under which market value is approximated by amortizing the differ-
ence between the acquisition cost and value at maturity of an instrument on a
straight-line basis over its remaining life. All cash, receivables and current
payables are carried at their face value. Other assets are valued at fair
value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the board.
DIVIDENDS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS. Each Business Day, each Fund declares as dividends all of its net
investment income. Shares are entitled to receive dividends beginning on the
date the purchase order is accepted; dividends are accrued to shareholder ac-
counts daily and are paid on the last Business Day of the month. Dividends are
automatically paid in additional Fund shares unless the shareholder elects in-
stead to have dividends transmitted by federal funds wire to either a desig-
nated bank account or PaineWebber account. Shares do not earn dividends on the
day of redemption.
Each Fund distributes its net short-term capital gain, if any, annually but
may make more frequent distributions of such gain if necessary to maintain its
net asset value per share at $1.00 or to avoid income or excise taxes. The
Funds do not expect to realize net long-term capital gain and thus do not an-
ticipate payment of any long-term capital gain distributions. Dividends paid
on both classes of shares are calculated at the same time and in the same man-
ner. Dividends on Institutional shares are expected to be higher than
12
<PAGE>
those paid on Financial Intermediary shares because of the higher expenses
borne by the Financial Intermediary shares.
FEDERAL TAX. Each Fund intends to continue to qualify for treatment as a
regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code so that it will
be relieved of federal income tax on that part of its investment company tax-
able income (consisting generally of taxable net investment income and net
short-term capital gain, if any) that is distributed to its shareholders.
Dividends from a Fund's investment company taxable income (whether paid in
cash or in additional Fund shares) are taxable to its shareholders as ordinary
income to the extent of its earnings and profits. Shareholders not subject to
tax on their income will not be required to pay tax on amounts distributed to
them. The Funds' dividends and distributions will not qualify for the divi-
dends-received deduction for corporations.
Some states permit shareholders to treat their portions of a Fund's divi-
dends that are attributable to interest on U.S. Treasury securities and cer-
tain U.S. government securities as income that is exempt from state and local
income taxes, if the Fund meets certain asset and diversification require-
ments. Dividends attributable to earnings on repurchase agreements and securi-
ties loans are, as a general rule, subject to state and local taxation.
Each Fund notifies its shareholders following the end of each calendar year
of the tax status of all distributions paid (or deemed paid) during that year.
The notice sent by each Fund specifies the portions of their dividends that
are attributable to U.S. Treasury securities and specific types of U.S. gov-
ernment securities.
Each Fund is required to withhold 31% of all taxable dividends payable to
any individuals and certain other noncorporate shareholders who (1) do not
provide the Fund with a correct taxpayer identification number or (2) other-
wise are subject to backup withholding.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. The foregoing is only a summary of some of the im-
portant federal, state and local income tax considerations generally affecting
the Funds and their shareholders; see the Statement of Additional Information
for a further discussion. There may be other federal, state and local tax con-
siderations applicable to a particular investor. Prospective shareholders are
urged to consult their tax advisers.
MANAGEMENT
The board, as part of its overall management responsibility, oversees vari-
ous organizations responsible for the Funds' day-to-day management.
PaineWebber, the Funds' investment adviser and administrator, provides a con-
tinuous investment program for each Fund and supervises all aspects of its op-
erations. As sub-adviser to the Funds, Mitchell Hutchins makes and implements
investment decisions and, as sub-administrator, is responsible for the day-to-
day administration of the Funds.
PaineWebber receives a monthly fee for these services. For the fiscal year
ended April 30, 1997, the advisory and administration fees payable to
PaineWebber by each Fund were equal to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net
assets. PaineWebber has undertaken to waive 0.05% of its fees and to maintain
each Fund's total annual operating expenses at a level not exceeding 0.30% and
0.55% of the Fund's average daily net assets annually for Institutional shares
and Financial Intermediary shares, respectively. After PaineWebber's waiver of
a portion of the fees and/or expense reimbursements with respect to each
Fund's Institutional shares, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1997, Money
Market Fund's, Government Securities Fund's and Treasury Securities Fund's to-
tal expenses represented 0.25%, 0.30% and 0.30%, respectively, of their aver-
age net assets. No Financial Intermediary shares of the Funds were outstanding
during that period. PaineWebber (not the Funds) pays Mitchell Hutchins a fee
for its sub-advisory and sub-administration services, at an annual rate of 50%
of the fee received by PaineWebber from each Fund for advisory and administra-
tive services.
PaineWebber and Mitchell Hutchins are located at 1285 Avenue of the Ameri-
cas, New York, New York 10019. Mitchell Hutchins is a wholly owned subsidiary
of PaineWebber, which is in turn wholly owned by Paine Webber Group Inc., a
publicly owned financial services holding company. At July 31, 1997,
PaineWebber or Mitchell Hutchins was investment adviser or sub-adviser to 29
registered investment companies with 64 separate portfolios and aggregate as-
sets in excess of $34.8 billion.
Mitchell Hutchins personnel may engage in securities transactions for their
own accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes procedures for per-
sonal investing and restricts certain transactions.

PaineWebber is the distributor of each Fund's shares.
FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
Financial intermediaries, such as banks and savings associations, may pur-
chase Financial Intermediary shares for the accounts of their customers. The
Trust has adopted a shareholder services plan ("Plan") with respect to Finan-
cial Intermediary shares. PaineWebber implements the Plan on behalf of the
Trust by entering into a service agreement with each financial intermediary
that purchases Financial Intermediary shares requiring it to provide support
services to its customers who are the beneficial owners of Financial Interme-
diary shares. Under the Plan, each Fund pays PaineWebber an annual fee at the
annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of the Financial In-
termediary shares held by financial intermediaries on behalf of their custom-
ers. Under each service agreement, PaineWebber pays an identical fee to the
financial intermediary for providing the support services to its customers
specified in the service agreement. These services, which are described in
greater detail in the Statement of Additional Information under "Other Infor-
mation--Financial Intermediaries," may include: aggregating and processing
purchase and redemption requests from customers and placing net purchase and
redemption orders with PaineWebber; providing customers with a service that
invests the assets of their accounts in Financial Intermediary shares;
processing dividend payments on behalf of customers; providing information pe-
riodically to customers showing their positions in Financial Intermediary
shares; arranging for bank wires; responding to customer inquiries relating to
the services performed by the financial intermediary; providing sub-accounting
with respect to Financial Intermediary shares beneficially owned by customers
or the information necessary for sub-accounting; forwarding shareholder commu-
nications from a Fund to customers, if required by law; and such other similar
services as the Trust may reasonably request from time to time to the extent
the financial intermediary is permitted to do so under federal and state stat-
utes, rules and regulations. Under the terms of the service agreements, finan-
cial intermediaries are required to provide to their customers a schedule of
any additional fees that they may charge customers in connection with their
investments in Financial Intermediary shares. Financial Intermediary shares
are available for purchase only by financial intermediaries that have entered
into service agreements with PaineWebber in connection with their investment.
Financial intermediaries providing services to beneficial owners of Financial
Intermediary shares in certain states may be required to be registered as
dealers under the laws of those states.
Should future legislative, judicial or administrative action prohibit or re-
strict the activities of banks serving as financial intermediaries in connec-
tion with the provision of support services to their customers, the Trust and
PaineWebber might be required to alter or discontinue their arrangements with
financial intermediaries and change their method of operations with respect to
Financial Intermediary shares. It is not anticipated, however, that any change
in the Trust's method of operations would affect its net asset values per
share or result in a financial loss to any shareholder.
Conflict of interest restrictions may apply to a financial institution's re-
ceipt of compensation from a Fund through PaineWebber under a service agree-
ment resulting from fiduciary funds being invested in Financial Intermediary
shares. Before investing fiduciary funds in Financial Intermediary shares, fi-
nancial intermediaries, including investment advisers and other money managers
under the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Depart-
ment of Labor or state securities commissions and banks regulated by the Comp-
troller of the Currency should consult their legal advisors.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
From time to time each Fund may advertise its "yield" and "effective yield."
Both yield figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to
indicate future performance. The "yield" of a Fund is the income on an invest-
ment in that Fund over a specified seven-day period. This income is then
"annualized" (that is, assumed to be earned each week over a 52-week period)
and shown as a percentage of the investment. The "effective yield" is calcu-
lated similarly, but when annualized the income earned is assumed to be rein-
vested. The "effective yield" will be higher than the "yield" because of the
compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.
Current yield and effective yield are calculated separately for Institu-
tional shares and Financial Intermediary shares. Since holders of Financial
Intermediary shares bear all service fees for the services rendered by finan-
cial intermedi-
14
<PAGE>
aries, the net yield on Financial Intermediary shares can be expected at any
given time to be approximately 0.25% lower than the net yield on Institutional
shares. Any additional fees directly assessed by financial intermediaries will
have the effect of further reducing the net yield realized by a beneficial
owner of Financial Intermediary shares.
Each Fund may also advertise other performance data, which may consist of
the annual or cumulative return (including realized net short-term capital
gain, if any) earned on a hypothetical investment in the Fund since it began
operations or for shorter periods. This return data may or may not assume re-
investment of dividends (compounding).
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company and was
organized as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachu-
setts by Declaration of Trust dated February 14, 1991. The board has authority
to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate se-
ries, par value $0.001 per share.
Each share of a Fund has equal voting, dividend and liquidation rights, ex-
cept that beneficial owners of Financial Intermediary shares receive certain
services directly from financial intermediaries, bear certain service fees and
enjoy exclusive voting rights on matters relating to these services and fees.
The Trust does not hold annual shareholder meetings. There normally will be
no meetings of shareholders to elect trustees unless fewer than a majority of
the trustees holding office have been elected by shareholders.
Shareholders of record of no less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares
of the Trust may remove a trustee by vote cast in person or by proxy at a
meeting called for that purpose. The trustees are required to call a meeting
of shareholders of the Trust for the purposes of voting upon the question of
removal of any trustee when requested in writing to do so by the shareholders
of record of not less than 10% of the Trust's outstanding shares.
Shareholders of each Fund are entitled to one vote for each full share held
and fractional votes for fractional shares held. Voting rights are not cumula-
tive and, as a result, the holders of more than 50% of the shares of the Trust
may elect all of its trustees. The shares of each Fund will be voted together,
except that only the shareholders of a particular class of a Fund may vote on
matters affecting only that class. The shares of each series of the Trust will
be voted separately, except when an aggregate vote of all the securities is
required by law. Financial intermediaries holding shares for their own ac-
counts must undertake to vote the shares in the same proportions as the vote
of shares held for their customers.
CERTIFICATES. To avoid additional operating expenses and for investor conve-
nience, share certificates are not issued. Ownership of shares of each Fund is
recorded on a share register by the Transfer Agent, and shareholders have the
same rights of ownership with respect to such shares as if certificates had
been issued.
REPORTS. Shareholders receive audited annual and unaudited semiannual finan-
cial statements of the Funds. All purchases and redemptions of Fund shares are
confirmed to shareholders at least quarterly.
CUSTODIAN AND TRANSFER AGENT. State Street Bank and Trust Company, One Heri-
tage Drive, North Quincy, Massachusetts 02171, is custodian of the Trust's as-
sets. First Data Investor Services Group, Inc., whose principal business ad-
dress is 4400 Computer Drive, Westborough, Massachusetts 01581-5159, is the
Trust's transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Liquid Institutional Reserves (the "Trust") is a no-load, open-end
investment company offering shares in three separate, diversified, money
market funds ("Funds"). Each Fund seeks high current income to the extent
consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity
through investments in a diversified portfolio of high quality, short-term,
U.S. dollar-denominated money market instruments. The investment adviser,
administrator and distributor of each Fund is PaineWebber Incorporated
("PaineWebber"); the sub-adviser and sub-administrator of each Fund is
Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of PaineWebber. This Statement of Additional Information is not a
prospectus and should be read only in conjunction with the Funds' current
Prospectus, dated September 1, 1997. A copy of the Prospectus may be obtained
by contacting any PaineWebber Investment Executive or correspondent firm or by
calling 1-888-LIR-FUND. This Statement of Additional Information is dated
September 1, 1997.
INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS
The following supplements the information contained in the Prospectus
concerning the Funds' investment policies and limitations.
YIELDS AND RATINGS OF MONEY MARKET INVESTMENTS. The yields on the money
market instruments in which the Funds invest (such as U.S. government
securities, commercial paper and bank obligations) are dependent on a variety
of factors, including general money market conditions, conditions in the
particular market for the obligation, the financial condition of the issuer,
the size of the offering, the maturity of the obligation and the ratings of
the issue. The ratings of nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations ("NRSROs") represent their opinions as to the quality of the
obligations they undertake to rate. Ratings, however, are general and are not
absolute standards of quality. Consequently, obligations with the same rating,
maturity and interest rate may have different market prices. Subsequent to its
purchase by a Fund, an issue may cease to be rated or its rating may be
reduced. In the event that a security in a Fund's portfolio ceases to be a
"First Tier Security," as defined in the Prospectus, or Mitchell Hutchins
becomes aware that a security has received a rating below the second highest
rating by any NRSRO, Mitchell Hutchins or the Trust's board of trustees
("board") will consider whether the Fund should continue to hold the
obligation. A First Tier Security rated in the highest short-term rating
category by a single NRSRO at the time of purchase that subsequently receives
a rating below the highest rating category from a different NRSRO will
continue to be considered a First Tier Security.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. As stated in the Prospectus, Money Market Fund may
enter into repurchase agreements with respect to any security in which that
Fund is authorized to invest, except that securities subject to repurchase
agreements may have maturities in excess of 13 months. The Fund maintains
custody of the underlying securities prior to their repurchase; thus, the
obligation of the bank or securities dealer to pay the repurchase price on the
date agreed to or upon demand is, in effect, secured by such securities. If
the value of these securities is less than the repurchase price, plus any
agreed upon additional amount, the other party to the agreement must provide
additional collateral so that at all times the collateral is at least equal to
the repurchase price plus any agreed upon additional amount. The difference
between the total amount to be received upon repurchase of the securities and
the price that was paid by the Fund upon acquisition is accrued as interest
and included in the Fund's net investment income.
<PAGE>
Repurchase agreements carry certain risks not associated with direct
investments in securities. Money Market Fund intends to enter into repurchase
agreements only with banks and dealers in transactions believed by Mitchell
Hutchins to present minimal credit risks in accordance with guidelines
established by the board. Mitchell Hutchins will review and monitor the
creditworthiness of those institutions under the board's general supervision.
ILLIQUID SECURITIES. No Fund may invest more than 10% of its net assets in
illiquid securities. The term "illiquid securities" for this purpose means
securities that cannot be disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course
of business at approximately the amount at which the Fund has valued the
securities and includes, among other things, repurchase agreements maturing in
more than seven days and restricted securities other than those Mitchell
Hutchins has determined to be liquid pursuant to guidelines established by the
board.
Not all restricted securities are illiquid. In recent years a large
institutional market has developed for certain securities that are not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 ("1933 Act"), including private
placements, repurchase agreements, commercial paper, foreign securities and
corporate bonds and notes. These instruments are often restricted securities
because the securities are sold in transactions not requiring registration.
Institutional investors generally will not seek to sell these instruments to
the general public, but instead will often depend either on an efficient
institutional market in which such unregistered securities can be readily
resold or on an issuer's ability to honor a demand for repayment. Therefore,
the fact that there are contractual or legal restrictions on resale to the
general public or certain institutions is not dispositive of the liquidity of
such investments.
Rule 144A under the 1933 Act establishes a "safe harbor" from the
registration requirements of the 1933 Act for resales of certain securities to
qualified institutional buyers. Institutional markets for restricted
securities have developed as a result of Rule 144A, providing both readily
ascertainable values for restricted securities and the ability to liquidate an
investment in order to satisfy share redemption orders. Such markets include
automated systems for the trading, clearance and settlement of unregistered
securities, such as the PORTAL System sponsored by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. An insufficient number of qualified institutional
buyers interested in purchasing certain restricted securities held by a Fund,
however, could affect adversely the marketability of such portfolio
securities, and the Fund might be unable to dispose of such securities
promptly or at favorable prices.
The board has delegated the function of making day-to-day determinations of
liquidity to Mitchell Hutchins, pursuant to guidelines approved by the board.
Mitchell Hutchins takes into account a number of factors in reaching liquidity
decisions, including (1) the frequency of trades for the security, (2) the
number of dealers that make quotes for the security, (3) the number of dealers
that have undertaken to make a market in the security, (4) the number of other
potential purchasers and (5) the nature of the security and how trading is
effected (e.g., the time needed to sell the security, how offers are solicited
and the mechanics of transfer). Mitchell Hutchins monitors the liquidity of
restricted securities held by the Funds and reports periodically on such
decisions to the board.
FLOATING RATE AND VARIABLE RATE DEMAND INSTRUMENTS. Money Market Fund and
Government Securities Fund may invest in floating rate and variable rate
securities with demand features. A demand feature gives a Fund the right to
sell the securities back to a specified party, usually a remarketing agent, on
a specified date, at a price equal to their amortized cost value plus accrued
interest. A demand feature is often backed by a letter of credit, guarantee or
other liquidity support arrangement from a bank or other financial institution
that may be drawn upon demand, after specified notice, for all or any part of
the exercise price of the demand feature. Generally, a Fund intends to
exercise demand features (1) upon a default under the terms of the underlying
security, (2) to maintain a Fund's portfolio in accordance with its investment
objective and policies or applicable legal or regulatory requirements or (3)
as needed to provide liquidity to a Fund in order to meet redemption requests.
The ability of a bank or other financial institution to fulfill its
obligations under a letter of credit, guarantee or other liquidity arrangement
might be affected by possible financial difficulties of its borrowers, adverse
interest rate or economic conditions, regulatory limitations or other factors.
The interest rate on floating rate or variable
2
<PAGE>
rate securities ordinarily is readjusted on the basis of the prime rate of the
bank that originated the financing or some other index or published rate, such
as the 90-day U.S. Treasury bill rate, or is otherwise reset to reflect market
rates of interest. Generally, these interest rate adjustments cause the market
value of floating rate and variable rate securities to fluctuate less than the
market value of fixed rate obligations.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY SECURITIES. As stated in the Prospectus,
each Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" or "delayed delivery"
basis. A security purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis is
recorded as an asset on the commitment date and is subject to changes in
market value, generally based upon changes in the level of interest rates.
Thus, fluctuation in the value of the security from the time of the commitment
date will affect the Fund's net asset value. When a Fund commits to purchase
securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, its custodian
segregates assets to cover the amount of the commitment. See "Investment
Policies and Restrictions--Segregated Accounts."
SEGREGATED ACCOUNTS. When a Fund enters into certain transactions that
involve obligations to make future payments to third parties, including the
purchase of securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, the Fund
will maintain with an approved custodian in a segregated account cash or
liquid securities, marked to market daily, in an amount at least equal to the
Fund's obligation or commitment under such transactions.
LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. As indicated in the Prospectus, each Fund
is authorized to lend up to 33 1/3% of its total assets to broker-dealers or
institutional investors that Mitchell Hutchins deems qualified, but only when
the borrower maintains acceptable collateral with the Funds' custodian, marked
to market daily, in an amount at least equal to the market value of the
securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends. Acceptable collateral
is limited to cash, U.S. government securities and irrevocable letters of
credit that meet certain guidelines established by Mitchell Hutchins. In
determining whether to lend securities to a particular broker-dealer or
institutional investor, Mitchell Hutchins will consider, and during the period
of the loan will monitor, all relevant facts and circumstances, including the
creditworthiness of the borrower. The Funds will retain authority to terminate
any loan at any time. The Funds may pay reasonable fees in connection with a
loan and may pay a negotiated portion of the interest earned on the cash or
money market instruments held as collateral to the borrower or placing broker.
The Funds will receive reasonable interest on the loan or a flat fee from the
borrower and amounts equivalent to any dividends, interest or other
distributions on the securities loaned. The Funds will regain record ownership
of loaned securities to exercise beneficial rights, such as voting and
subscription rights and rights to dividends, interest or other distributions,
when regaining such rights is considered to be in the Funds' interest.
Pursuant to procedures approved by the board governing each Fund's
securities lending program, the board has approved retention of PaineWebber to
serve as lending agent for the Funds. The board also has authorized the
payment of fees (including fees calculated as a percentage of invested cash
collateral) to PaineWebber for these services. The board periodically reviews
all portfolio securities loan transactions for which PaineWebber acted as
lending agent.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS. The following fundamental investment
limitations cannot be changed for a Fund without the affirmative vote of the
lesser of (1) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund or (2) 67%
or more of the shares of the Fund present at a shareholders' meeting if more
than 50% of the outstanding shares are represented at the meeting in person or
by proxy. If a percentage restriction is adhered to at the time of an
investment or transaction, later changes in percentage resulting from changing
values of portfolio securities or amount of total assets will not be
considered a violation of any of the following limitations.
Each Fund will not:
(1) purchase securities of any one issuer if, as a result, more than 5%
of the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of that
issuer or the Fund would own or hold more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of that issuer, except that up to 25%
of the Fund's
3
<PAGE>
total assets may be invested without regard to this limitation, and
except that this limitation does not apply to securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities
or to securities issued by other investment companies.
The following interpretation applies to, but is not a part of, this
fundamental restriction: Mortgage- and asset-backed securities will
not be considered to have been issued by the same issuer by reason
of the securities having the same sponsor, and mortgage- and
asset-backed securities issued by a finance or other special purpose
subsidiary that are not guaranteed by the parent company will be
considered to be issued by a separate issuer from the parent
company.
(2) purchase any security if, as a result of that purchase, 25% or more
of the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of
issuers having their principal business activities in the same
industry, except that this limitation does not apply to securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or
instrumentalities or to municipal securities or to certificates of
deposit and bankers' acceptances of domestic branches of U.S. banks.
The following interpretation applies to, but is not a part of, this
fundamental restriction: With respect to this limitation, domestic
and foreign banking will be considered to be different industries.
(3) issue senior securities or borrow money, except as permitted under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") and then not in
excess of 33 1/3% of the Fund's total assets (including the amount
of the senior securities issued but reduced by any liabilities not
constituting senior securities) at the time of the issuance or
borrowing, except that the Fund may borrow up to an additional 5% of
its total assets (not including the amount borrowed) for temporary
or emergency purposes.
(4) make loans, except through loans of portfolio securities or through
repurchase agreements, provided that for purposes of this
restriction, the acquisition of bonds, debentures, other debt
securities or instruments, or participations or other interests
therein and investments in government obligations, commercial paper,
certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances or similar instruments
will not be considered the making of a loan.
(5) engage in the business of underwriting securities of other issuers,
except to the extent that the Fund might be considered an
underwriter under the federal securities laws in connection with its
disposition of portfolio securities.
(6) purchase or sell real estate, except that investments in securities
of issuers that invest in real estate and investments in mortgage-
backed securities, mortgage participations or other instruments
supported by interests in real estate are not subject to this
limitation, and except that the Fund may exercise rights under
agreements relating to such securities, including the right to
enforce security interests and to hold real estate acquired by
reason of such enforcement until that real estate can be liquidated
in an orderly manner.
(7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of
owning securities or other instruments, but the Fund many purchase,
sell or enter into financial options and futures, forward and spot
currency contracts, swap transactions and other financial contracts
or derivative instruments.
NON-FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS. The following investment
restrictions may be changed by the board without shareholder approval.
Each Fund will not:
(1) purchase securities on margin, except for short-term credit
necessary for clearance of portfolio transactions and except that
the Fund may make deposits in connection with its use of financial
options and futures, forward and spot currency contracts, swap
transactions and other financial contracts or derivative
instruments.
(2) engage in short sales of securities or maintain a short position,
except that the Fund may (a) sell short "against the box" and (b)
maintain short positions in connection with its use of financial
options and futures, forward and spot currency contracts, swap
transactions and other financial contracts or derivative
instruments.

mailing and tabulating proxies and costs of meetings of shareholders, the
board and any committees thereof, (17) the cost of investment company

Under the PaineWebber and Mitchell Hutchins Contracts (collectively,
"Contracts"), PaineWebber or Mitchell Hutchins will not be liable for any
error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by a Fund in
connection with the performance of the Contracts, except a loss resulting from
willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of PaineWebber
or Mitchell Hutchins in the performance of its duties or from reckless
disregard of its duties and obligations thereunder.
The Contracts are terminable with respect to each Fund at any time without
penalty by vote of the board or by vote of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of that Fund on 60 days' written notice to
PaineWebber or Mitchell Hutchins, as the case may be. The PaineWebber Contract
is also terminable without penalty by PaineWebber on 60 days' written notice
to the Trust, and the Mitchell Hutchins Contract is terminable without penalty
by PaineWebber or Mitchell Hutchins on 60 days' written notice to the other
party. The Contracts terminate automatically upon their assignment, and the
Mitchell Hutchins Contract also terminates automatically upon the assignment
of the PaineWebber Contract.
The following table shows the approximate net assets as of July 31, 1997,
sorted by category of investment objective, of the investment companies as to
which Mitchell Hutchins serves as adviser or sub-adviser. An investment
company may fall into more than one of the categories below.

Mitchell Hutchins personnel may invest in securities for their own accounts
pursuant to a code of ethics that describes the fiduciary duty owed to
shareholders of the PaineWebber mutual funds and other Mitchell Hutchins'
advisory accounts by all Mitchell Hutchins' directors, officers and employees,
establishes procedures for personal investing and restricts certain
transactions. For example, employee accounts generally must be maintained at
PaineWebber, personal trades in most securities require pre-clearance and
short-term trading and participation in initial public offerings generally are
prohibited. In addition, the code of ethics puts restrictions on the timing of
personal investing in relation to trades by PaineWebber mutual funds and other
Mitchell Hutchins advisory clients.
DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS. PaineWebber acts as distributor of shares of the
Trust under a distribution contract with the Trust, which requires PaineWebber
to use its best efforts, consistent with its other business, to sell shares of
the Trust. Shares of the Trust are offered continuously.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
The Mitchell Hutchins Contract authorizes Mitchell Hutchins (with the
approval of the board) to select brokers and dealers to execute purchases and
sales of the Funds' portfolio securities. The Contract directs Mitchell
Hutchins to use its best efforts to obtain the best available price and most
favorable execution with respect to all transactions for the Funds. To the
extent that the execution and price offered by more than one dealer are
comparable, Mitchell Hutchins may, in its discretion, effect transactions in
portfolio securities with dealers who provide the Funds with research,
analysis, advice and similar services. Although Mitchell Hutchins may receive
certain research or execution services in connection with these transactions,
Mitchell Hutchins will not purchase securities at a higher price or sell
securities at a lower price than would otherwise be paid had no services been
provided by the executing dealer. Moreover, Mitchell Hutchins will not enter
into any explicit soft dollar arrangements relating to principal transactions
and will not receive in principal transactions the types of services that
could be purchased for hard dollars. Research services furnished by the
dealers with which a Fund effects securities transactions may be used by
Mitchell Hutchins in advising other funds or accounts it advises and,
conversely, research services furnished to Mitchell Hutchins in connection
with other funds or accounts that Mitchell Hutchins advises may be used in
advising the Fund. Information and research received from dealers will be in
addition to, and not in lieu of, the services required to be performed by
Mitchell Hutchins under the Mitchell Hutchins Contract. During the past three
fiscal years, none of the Funds has paid any brokerage commissions, nor has
any Fund allocated any transactions to dealers for research, analysis, advice
and similar services.
Mitchell Hutchins may engage in agency transactions in over-the-counter
equity and debt securities in return for research and execution services.
These transactions are entered into only in compliance with procedures
ensuring that the transaction (including commissions) is at least as favorable
as it would have been if effected directly with a market-maker that did not
provide research or execution services. These procedures include a requirement
that Mitchell Hutchins obtain multiple quotes from dealers before executing
the transactions on an agency basis.
The Funds purchase portfolio securities from dealers and underwriters as
well as from issuers. Securities are usually traded on a net basis with
dealers acting as principal for their own accounts without a stated
commission. Prices paid to dealers in principal transactions generally include
a "spread," which is the difference between the prices at which the dealer is
willing to purchase and sell a specific security at the time. When securities
are purchased directly from an issuer, no commissions or discounts are paid.
When securities are purchased in underwritten offerings, they include a fixed
amount of compensation to the underwriter.
Investment decisions for each Fund and for other investment accounts managed
by Mitchell Hutchins are made independently of each other in light of
differing considerations for the various accounts. However, the same
investment decision may occasionally be made for a Fund and one or more of
such accounts. In such cases, simultaneous transactions are inevitable.
Purchases or sales are then averaged as to price and allocated between a Fund
and such other account(s) as to amount according to a formula deemed equitable
to that Fund and such account(s). While in some cases this practice could have
a detrimental effect upon the price or value of the security as far as the
Fund is concerned, or upon its ability to complete its entire order, in other
cases it is believed that coordination and the ability to participate in
volume transactions will be beneficial to the Fund.
As of April 30, 1997, Money Market Fund owned commercial paper and short-
term obligations issued by the following issuers that are regular broker-
dealers for the Fund: Bear Stearns Companies, Inc.--$12,000,000; Goldman Sachs
Group LP--$14,990,783; Morgan Stanley Group Incorporated--$34,909,110; and
Merrill Lynch & Co., Incorporated--$46,970,116.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING REDEMPTIONS
Each Fund may suspend redemption privileges or postpone the date of payment
during any period (1) when the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is closed or
trading on the NYSE is restricted as
13
<PAGE>
determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), (2) when an
emergency exists, as defined by the SEC, which makes it not reasonably
practicable for a Fund to dispose of securities owned by it or to determine
fairly the market value of its assets or (3) as the SEC may otherwise permit.
The redemption price may be more or less than the shareholder's cost,
depending on the market value of the Fund's portfolio at the time, although
each Fund seeks to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share.
If conditions exist that make cash payments undesirable, each Fund reserves
the right to honor any request for redemption by making payment in whole or in
part in securities chosen by the Fund and valued in the same way as they would
be valued for purposes of computing the Fund's net asset value. If payment is
made in securities, a shareholder may incur brokerage expenses in converting
these securities into cash. The Trust is obligated to redeem shares solely in
cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net asset value of a Fund
during any 90-day period for one shareholder.
VALUATION OF SHARES
Money Market Fund's net asset value per share is determined by State Street
Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") as of 2:30 p.m., Eastern time, on each
Business Day. Government Securities Fund's and Treasury Securities Fund's net
asset values per share are determined by State Street as of 12:00 noon,
Eastern time, on each Business Day. As defined in the Prospectus, "Business
Day" means any day on which the Massachusetts offices of State Street, and the
Fund's transfer agent, First Data Investor Services Group, Inc. ("Transfer
Agent") and the New York City offices of PaineWebber and PaineWebber's bank
are all open for business. One or more of these institutions will be closed on
the observance of the following holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King,
Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor
Day, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
Each Fund values its portfolio securities in accordance with the amortized
cost method of valuation under Rule 2a-7 ("Rule") under the 1940 Act. To use
amortized cost to value its portfolio securities, a Fund must adhere to
certain conditions under that Rule relating to the Fund's investments, some of
which are discussed in the Prospectus. Amortized cost is an approximation of
market value of an instrument, whereby the difference between its acquisition
cost and value at maturity is amortized on a straight-line basis over the
remaining life of the instrument. The effect of changes in the market value of
a security as a result of fluctuating interest rates is not taken into
account, and thus the amortized cost method of valuation may result in the
value of a security being higher or lower than its actual market value. In the
event that a large number of redemptions take place at a time when interest
rates have increased, a Fund might have to sell portfolio securities prior to
maturity and at a price that might not be desirable.
The board has established procedures ("Procedures") for the purpose of
maintaining a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share, which include a
review of the extent of any deviation of net asset value per share, based on
available market quotations, from the $1.00 amortized cost per share. Should
that deviation exceed 1/2 of 1% for any Fund, the board will promptly consider
whether any action should be initiated to eliminate or reduce material
dilution or other unfair results to shareholders. Such action may include
redeeming shares in kind, selling portfolio securities prior to maturity,
reducing or withholding dividends and utilizing a net asset value per share as
determined by using available market quotations. Each Fund will maintain a
dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less and will not
purchase any instrument having, or deemed to have, a remaining maturity of
more than 397 days, will limit portfolio investments, including repurchase
agreements, to those U.S. dollar-denominated instruments that are of high
quality under the Rule and that Mitchell Hutchins, acting pursuant to the
Procedures, determines present minimal credit risks, and will comply with
certain reporting and recordkeeping procedures. There is no assurance that
constant net asset value per share will be maintained. In the event amortized
cost ceases to represent fair value per share, the board will take appropriate
action.
14
<PAGE>
In determining the approximate market value of portfolio investments, each
Fund may employ outside organizations, which may use a matrix or formula
method that takes into consideration market indices, matrices, yield curves
and other specific adjustments. This may result in the securities being valued
at a price different from the price that would have been determined had the
matrix or formula method not been used.
TAXES
In order to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment
company under the Internal Revenue Code, each Fund must distribute to its
shareholders for each taxable year at least 90% of its investment company
taxable income (consisting generally of taxable net investment income and net
short-term capital gain, if any) and must meet several additional
requirements. Among these requirements are the following: (1) the Fund must
derive at least 90% of its gross income each taxable year from dividends,
interest, payments with respect to securities loans, gains from the sale or
other disposition of securities and certain other income; (2) the Fund must
derive less than 30% of its gross income each taxable year from the sale or
other disposition of securities held for less than three months; (3) at the
close of each quarter of the Fund's taxable year, at least 50% of the value of
its total assets must be represented by cash and cash items, U.S. government
securities and other securities, with these other securities limited, in
respect of any one issuer, to an amount that does not exceed 5% of the value
of the Fund's total assets; and (4) at the close of each quarter of the Fund's
taxable year, not more than 25% of the value of its total assets may be
invested in securities (other than U.S. government securities) of any one
issuer.
A Fund will be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax to the extent it
fails to distribute by the end of any calendar year substantially all of its
ordinary income for that year and capital gain net income for the one-year
period ending on October 31 of that year, plus certain other amounts.
CALCULATION OF YIELD
Each Fund computes its yield and effective yield quotations using
standardized methods required by the SEC. The Fund from time to time
advertises (1) its current yield based on a recently ended seven-day period,
computed by determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes, in the
value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one share at
the beginning of the period, subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting
deductions from that shareholder account, dividing the difference by the value
of the account at the beginning of the base period to obtain the base period
return, and then multiplying the base period return by (365/7), with the
resulting yield figure carried to at least the nearest hundredth of one
percent, and (2) its effective yield based on the same seven-day period by
compounding the base period return by adding 1, raising the sum to a power
equal to (365/7), and subtracting 1 from the result, according to the
following formula:
EFFECTIVE YIELD = [(BASE PERIOD RETURN + 1) to the power of 365/7] - 1
Yield may fluctuate daily and does not provide a basis for determining
future yields. Because the yield of each Fund fluctuates, it cannot be
compared with yields on savings accounts or other investment alternatives that
provide an agreed-to or guaranteed fixed yield for a stated period of time.
However, yield information may be useful to an investor considering temporary
investments in money market instruments. In comparing the yield of one money
market fund to another, consideration should be given to each fund's
investment policies, including the types of investments made, the average
maturity of the portfolio securities and whether there are any special account
charges that may reduce the yield.
The following yields are for the seven-day period ended April 30, 1997:
<TABLE>

OTHER INFORMATION. The Funds' performance data quoted in advertising and
other promotional materials ("Performance Advertisements") represent past
performance and are not intended to predict or indicate future results. The
return on an investment in each Fund will fluctuate. In Performance
Advertisements, the Funds may compare their taxable yield with data published
by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. for money funds ("Lipper"), CDA Investment
Technologies, Inc. ("CDA"), IBC Financial Data, Inc. ("IBC"), Wiesenberger
Investment Companies Service ("Wiesenberger") or Investment Company Data Inc.
("ICD"), or with the performance of recognized stock and other indexes,
including the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index, the Dow Jones
Industrial Average, the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index, the
Lehman Brothers Treasury Bond Index, the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate
Bond Index, the Salomon Brothers Government Bond Index and changes in the
Consumer Price Index as published by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The
Funds also may refer in such materials to mutual fund performance rankings and
other data, such as comparative asset, expense and fee levels, published by
Lipper, CDA, IBC, Wiesenberger or ICD. Performance Advertisements also may
refer to discussions of the Funds and comparative mutual fund data and ratings
reported in independent periodicals, including THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, MONEY
MAGAZINE, FORBES, BUSINESS WEEK, FINANCIAL WORLD, BARRON'S, FORTUNE, THE NEW
YORK TIMES, THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, THE WASHINGTON POST and THE KIPLINGER
LETTERS. Comparisons in Performance Advertisements may be in graphic form.
Each Fund may also compare its performance with the performances of bank
certificates of deposit ("CDs") as measured by the CDA Certificate of Deposit
Index and the Bank Rate Monitor National Index and the average of yields of
CDs of major banks published by Banxquotes(R) Money Markets. In comparing a
Fund's performance to CD performance, investors should keep in mind that bank
CDs are insured in whole or in part by an agency of the U.S. government and
offer fixed principal and fixed or variable rates of interest, and that bank
CD yields may vary depending on the financial institution offering the CD and
prevailing interest rates. Bank accounts are insured in whole or in part by an
agency of the U.S. government and may offer a fixed rate of return. Fund
shares are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government and returns
thereon will fluctuate. While each Fund seeks to maintain a stable net asset
value of $1.00 per share, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do
so.
Each Fund may include discussions or illustrations of the effects of
compounding in Performance Advertisements. "Compounding" refers to the fact
that, if dividends on a Fund investment are reinvested by being paid in
additional Fund shares, any future income of the Fund would increase the
value, not only of the original Fund investment, but also of the additional
Fund shares received through reinvestment. As a result, the value of a Fund
investment would increase more quickly than if dividends had been paid in
cash. Each Fund may also make available to shareholders a daily accrual factor
or "mil rate" representing dividends accrued to shareholder accounts on a
given day or days. Certain shareholders may find that this information
facilitates accounting or recordkeeping.
OTHER INFORMATION
The Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a "Massachusetts
business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders could, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the Trust.
However, the Declaration of Trust disclaims shareholder liability for acts or
obligations of the Trust and requires that notice of such disclaimer be given
in each note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking made or
issued by the trustees or by any officers or officer by or on behalf of the
Trust, a Fund, the trustees or any of them in connection with the Trust. The
Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification from a Fund's property for
all losses and expenses of any shareholder held personally liable for the
obligations of the Fund. Thus, the risk of a shareholder's incurring financial
loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which
a Fund itself would be unable to meet its obligations, a possibility which
PaineWebber believes is
16
<PAGE>
remote and not material. Upon payment of any liability incurred by a
shareholder, the shareholder paying such liability will be entitled to
reimbursement from the general assets of the Fund. The trustees intend to
conduct the operations of each Fund in such a way as to avoid, as far as
possible, ultimate liability of the shareholders for liabilities of the Fund.
COUNSEL. The law firm of Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP, 1800 Massachusetts
Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036, serves as counsel to the Funds.
Kirkpatrick & Lockhart LLP also acts as counsel to PaineWebber and Mitchell
Hutchins in connection with other matters.
AUDITORS. Ernst & Young LLP, 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019,
serves as independent auditors for the Funds.
FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
The Trust has adopted a Shareholder Services Plan and Agreement ("Plan")
with respect to the Financial Intermediary shares of each Fund to assure that
the beneficial owners of the Financial Intermediary shares receive certain
support services. PaineWebber will implement the Plan by entering into a
service agreement with each financial intermediary that purchases Financial
Intermediary shares requiring it to provide support services to its customers
who are the beneficial owners of the Financial Intermediary shares. Under the
Plan, each Fund pays PaineWebber an annual fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of
the average daily net asset value of the Financial Intermediary shares held by
financial intermediaries on behalf of their customers. Under each service
agreement, PaineWebber pays an identical fee to the financial intermediary for
providing the support services to its customers specified in the service
agreement. These services may include: (i) aggregating and processing purchase
and redemption requests from customers and placing net purchase and redemption
orders with PaineWebber; (ii) providing customers with a service that invests
the assets of their accounts in Financial Intermediary shares; (iii)
processing dividend payments from the Trust on behalf of customers; (iv)
providing information periodically to customers showing their positions in
Financial Intermediary shares; (v) arranging for bank wires; (vi) responding
to customer inquiries relating to the services performed by the financial
intermediary; (vii) providing sub-accounting with respect to Financial
Intermediary shares beneficially owned by customers or the information
necessary for sub-accounting; (viii) forwarding shareholder communications
from the Trust (such as proxies, shareholder reports and dividend,
distribution and tax notices) to customers, if required by law; and (ix) other
similar services if requested by the Trust. No payments were made by
PaineWebber or any Fund to financial intermediaries during the fiscal year
ended April 30, 1997 because no Financial Intermediary shares were outstanding
during that period.
The Plan requires that PaineWebber provide to the board at least annually a
written report of the amounts expended by PaineWebber under service agreements
with financial intermediaries and the purposes for which such expenditures
were made. Each service agreement requires the financial intermediary to
cooperate with PaineWebber in providing information to the board with respect
to amounts expended and services provided under the service agreement. The
Plan may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by vote of the trustees
of the Trust who are not "interested persons" of the Trust as defined in the
1940 Act and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the
operation of the Plan ("Disinterested Trustees"). Any amendment to the Plan
must be approved by the board and any material amendment must be approved by
the Disinterested Trustees.
