GENERAL MARKET OVERVIEW
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[GRAPHIC]
Early in the fiscal year, an improved inflationary environment and the 
stability of dividend growth prospects, among other factors, indicated that 
the stock market was attractive when compared to the one-year U.S. Treasury 
bill. The positive outlook for stocks carried into 1997 as expectations for 
continued moderate inflation and corporate profit growth, based on modest 
economic growth, persisted. Although early spring was characterized by a rise 
in the yield of the one-year U.S. Treasury bill and negative action in equity 
prices, an improved outlook for corporate earnings and future dividend growth 
continued to bode well for the relative attractiveness of the stock market. 
More recently, a decline in the one-year U.S. Treasury bill yield, combined 
with some improvement in dividend growth expectations, further bolstered the 
case for equities.


PORTFOLIO REVIEW
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[GRAPHIC]

PERFORMANCE--Tactical Allocation Fund's total return (the net asset value 
change with dividends reinvested) for the year ended August 31, 1997, without 
deducting sales charges, was 39.26% for Class A shares, 38.14% for Class B 
shares, 38.20% for Class C shares and 39.55% for Class Y shares. For 
shareowners who purchased or redeemed Fund shares during the period the 
Fund's total return may have been lower; for example, after deducting the 
maximum applicable sales charges, the Fund's total return for the period was 
33.01% for Class A shares, 33.14% for Class B shares, 37.20% for Class C 
shares and 39.55% for Class Y shares. 

    Over the fiscal year ended August 31, 1997, the Fund's Class A shares 
easily outperformed the 23.19% return of its Lipper Flexible Portfolio Funds 
Peer Group Average (which ranks the Fund in the first quartile within its 
peer group of 201 funds++), and performed on a par with the 40.62% return of 
its benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The Fund was fully invested 
in stocks the entire fiscal year, a position that enabled the Fund to benefit 
in an environment characterized by the stock market's stellar performance.

ANNUAL REPORT



PAINEWEBBER TACTICAL ALLOCATION FUND

Top Five Sectors (as a % of net assets as of August 31, 1997)

Financial               16.0%
Technology              16.0%
Consumer Cyclical       12.2%
Health Care             11.6%
Consumer Non-Cyclical   10.7%


PORTFOLIO POSITIONING--To determine the Fund's asset mix between an equity 
portion designed to track the performance of the S&P 500 and a bond portion 
consisting of either bonds (five-year U.S. Treasury notes) or cash (30-day 
U.S. Treasury bills), management employs the Tactical Allocation Model. This 
quantitative model calculates the risk premiums (the likely return advantage) 
of stocks and bonds relative to a "risk-free" asset (the one-year U.S. 
Treasury bill) or cash. The expected return of the stock market is compared 
with that of the risk-free asset to determine the equity risk premium ("ERP"). 
Historically, the ERP has averaged about five percentage points per year. When 
the ERP is 5.5% or greater, the Fund is fully invested in stocks. If the ERP 
falls below the 5.50% hurdle, the Model is signaling that the expected return 
of the stock market is not fully compensating investors for the expected 
risk. Thus, some or all of the Fund's assets will be shifted to bonds or cash. 
For every 0.5% that the ERP drops below 5.5%, the Model will signal that 
another 25% of the Fund's assets should be shifted out of stocks. This 
determination is made on the first trading day of each month.

    While the Fund's goal is to be fully invested in stocks in periods of 
strongly positive market performance and to avoid or reduce exposure to the 
stock market during prolonged or significant market downturns, there is no 
guarantee that the Model will correctly anticipate major market declines or 
indicate the correct time to invest in stocks.

    As of August 31, 1997, the Model's ERP was 5.86%--above the 5.5% hurdle 
required for total stock allocation. Several factors influenced the ERP's 
level, including the relative consistency of dividend growth projections and a 
continued moderate inflationary environment. These factors indicated that the 
equity market was more attractive when compared to an alternative "risk-free" 
investment. Therefore, the Fund's assets remained fully invested in stocks 
during the fiscal year, except for a small amount of assets kept in cash to 
satisfy operating needs.

OUTLOOK
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[GRAPHIC]
The Tactical Allocation Model will continue to be driven by short-term 
interest rates, dividend growth expectations and market price levels. Going 
forward, three conditions -- individually or in various combinations -- could 
cause the equity risk premium to move below 5.5% and signal the start of a 
movement away from stocks:
- - Short-term interest rates moving to significantly higher levels;
- - An increased expectation for the economy to dip into recession;
- - An excessive S&P 500 price-earnings multiple.



                                                                               3

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  PaineWebber Tactical Allocation Fund (the "Fund") is a series of PaineWebber
Investment Trust (the "Trust") and is registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an
open-end, diversified management investment company. Organizational costs have
been deferred and are being amortized using the straight line method over a
period not to exceed 60 months from the date the Fund commenced operations.
 
  Currently, the Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares. Each
class represents interests in the same assets of the Fund, and the classes are
identical except for differences in their sales charge structures, ongoing
service and distribution charges and certain transfer agency expenses. In
addition, Class B shares and all corresponding reinvested dividend shares
automatically convert to Class A shares approximately six years after issuance.
All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that Class A, Class B,
and Class C shares each have exclusive voting rights with respect to their
respective service and/or distribution plans. Class Y shares have no service or
distribution plan.
 
  The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires Fund management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies:
 
  VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS--Securities that are listed on stock exchanges are
valued at the last sale price on the day the securities are being valued or,
lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price. In cases where
securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued on
the exchange designated by Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell
Hutchins"), a wholly owned asset management subsidiary of PaineWebber
Incorporated ("PaineWebber") and investment adviser, administrator and
distributor of the Fund as the primary market. Securities traded in the
over-the-counter ("OTC") market and listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.
("Nasdaq") are valued at the last available sale price, or last bid price
available if no sale occurs, on Nasdaq prior to the time of valuation. Where
market quotations are readily available, debt securities are valued thereon,
provided such quotations adequately reflect the fair value of the securities in
the judgment of Mitchell Hutchins. When market quotations are not readily
available, securities are valued based upon appraisals derived from information
concerning those securities or similar securities received from recognized
dealers in those securities. All other securities are valued at fair value as
determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Trust's board of
trustees. The amortized cost method of valuation is used to value short-term
debt instruments with sixty days or less remaining to maturity, unless the
Trust's board of trustees determines that this does not represent fair value.
 
  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--The Fund's custodian takes possession of the collateral
pledged for investments in repurchase agreements. The underlying collateral is
valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to ensure that the value, including
accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of
default of the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the
collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under
certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party
to the agreement, realization and/ or retention of the collateral may be subject
to legal proceedings. The Fund occasionally participates in joint repurchase
agreement transactions with other funds managed by Mitchell Hutchins.
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
  INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME--Investment transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment
transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Interest income is
recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
date. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to
interest income and the identified cost of investments.
 
  Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized
gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon
the relative net asset value of outstanding shares (or the value of dividend-
eligible shares, as appropriate) of each class at the beginning of the day
(after adjusting for current capital share activity of the respective classes).
Class-specific expenses are charged directly to the applicable class of shares.
 
  DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS--Dividends and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions are
determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ
from generally accepted accounting principles. These "book/tax" differences are
either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these
differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the
capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary
differences do not require reclassification.
 
INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR
 
  The Trust's board of trustees has approved an Investment Advisory and
Administration Contract ("Advisory Contract") with Mitchell Hutchins, under
which Mitchell Hutchins serves as investment adviser and administrator of the
Fund. In accordance with the Advisory Contract, the Fund pays Mitchell Hutchins
an investment advisory and administration fee, which is accrued daily and paid
monthly, at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets
(Class Y shares have no service or distribution plan). At August 31, 1997, the
Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $287,417 in investment advisory and administration
fees.
 
  For the year ended August 31, 1997, the Fund paid $2,472 in brokerage
commissions to PaineWebber for transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.
 
DISTRIBUTION PLANS
 
  Mitchell Hutchins is the distributor of the Fund's shares and has appointed
PaineWebber as the exclusive dealer for the sale of those shares. Under separate
plans of service and/or distribution pertaining to Class A, Class B and Class C
shares, the Fund pays Mitchell Hutchins monthly service fees at the annual rate
of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A, Class B and Class C shares
and monthly distribution fees at the annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily
net assets of Class B and Class C shares. At August 31, 1997, the Fund owed
Mitchell Hutchins $435,589 in service and distribution fees.
 
  Mitchell Hutchins also receives the proceeds of the initial sales charges paid
by shareholders upon the purchase of Class A shares and the contingent deferred
sales charges paid by shareholders upon certain redemptions of Class A, Class B
and Class C shares. Mitchell Hutchins has informed the Fund that for the year
ended August 31, 1997, it earned $3,157,453 in sales charges.
 
SECURITY LENDING
 
  The Fund may lend up to 33 1/3% of its total assets to qualified institutions.
The loans are secured at all times by cash or U.S. government securities in an
amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued
interest, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. The Fund will
regain record ownership of loaned
 
                                       17

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
securities to exercise certain beneficial rights, however, the Fund may bear the
risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned
should the borrower fail financially. The Fund receives compensation, which is
included in interest income, for lending its securities from interest earned on
the cash or U.S. government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates
paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. The Fund's
lending agent is PaineWebber, who received $4,200 in compensation in that
capacity from the Fund for the year ended August 31, 1997.
 
  As of August 31, 1997, the Fund held cash and/or cash equivalents having an
aggregate value of $25,513,600 as collateral for portfolio securities loaned
having a market value of $24,190,503.
 
BANK LINE OF CREDIT
 
  The Fund may borrow up to $10 million under a short-term unsecured line of
credit ("Line of Credit") and may participate with other funds managed by
Mitchell Hutchins in a $200 million committed credit facility ("Facility") to be
utilized for, temporary financing until the settlement of sale or purchase of
portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Fund at the
request of the shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes.
 
  Under the Facility arrangement, the Fund has agreed to pay a commitment fee,
pro rata, based on the relative asset size of the Funds in the Facility.
Interest is charged to the Fund at rates based on prevailing market rates in
effect at the time of borrowings. For the year ended August 31, 1997, the Fund
did not borrow under the Facility and had an average daily amount of borrowing
outstanding under the Line of Credit arrangement of approximately $1,934,000
with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 6.26%.
 
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
 
  For federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned at August 31,
1997 was substantially the same as the cost of securities for financial
statement purposes.
 
  At August 31, 1997, the components of net unrealized appreciation of
investments were as follows:

Purchases.............................................................   $ 471,739,284

</TABLE>
 
FEDERAL TAX STATUS
 
  The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and to
comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to
regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income
taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year,
substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other
amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.

@ Calculated using the average shares outstanding for the period
 
(1) Total investment return is calculated assuming a $1,000 investment on the
   first day of each period reported, reinvestment of all dividends and
   distributions at net asset value on the payable dates and a sale at net asset
   value on the last day of each period reported. The figures do not include
   sales charges; results for Class A, Class B and Class C would be lower if
   sales charges were included. Total investment return for periods of less than
   one year has not been annualized.
 
(2) Effective for fiscal years beginning on or after September 1, 1995, the Fund
   is required to disclose the average commission rate paid per share of common
   stock investments purchased or sold.

PAINEWEBBER TACTICAL ALLOCATION FUND
 
REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
PaineWebber Tactical Allocation Fund
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
PaineWebber Tactical Allocation Fund, including the portfolio of investments, as
of August 31, 1997, and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the
period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in
the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are
the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits. The financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended
August 31, 1994 were audited by other auditors whose report dated October 14,
1994 expressed an unqualified opinion on the financial highlights.
 
We have conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned at August 31, 1997, by correspondence with the custodian. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
PaineWebber Tactical Allocation Fund at August 31, 1997, and the results of its
operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of
the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of
the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
 
  We are required by Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, to advise you within 60 days of the Fund's fiscal year end (August 31,
1997) as to federal tax status of distributions received by shareholders during
such fiscal year. Accordingly, we are advising you that the following
distributions paid during the fiscal year are taxable and are derived from the
following sources:

*  Taxable as ordinary income
 
  Dividends received by tax-exempt recipients (e.g., IRAs and Keoghs) need not
be reported as taxable income. Some retirement trusts (e.g., corporate, Keogh
and 403(b)(7) plans) may need this information for their annual information
reporting.
 
  Since the Fund's fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification
will be sent in respect of calendar year 1997. The second notification, which
will reflect the amount to be used by calendar year taxpayers on their federal
income tax returns, will be made in conjunction with Form 1099 DIV and will be
mailed in January 1998. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax
advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund.
