PAINEWEBBER TACTICAL ALLOCATION FUND                           SEMIANNUAL REPORT

                                                                  April 14, 1997

Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to present you with the semiannual report for PaineWebber
Tactical Allocation Fund (the "Fund") for the six-month period ended
February 28, 1997.

GENERAL MARKET OVERVIEW

     During the six-month period, a continuation of the economic growth and 
low inflation that had prevailed over the past year helped the equity market. 
Early in the period, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, a commonly used measure 
of stock market performance, reached a then-record high. In the ensuing 
months, the market, although still characterized by volatility, maintained 
its upward trajectory.

     The market's performance was attributable to several factors, including
returning investor confidence after the summer's brief market correction, an
overall positive environment for corporate earnings and profit growth, as well
as unprecedented cash inflows into 401(k)s and equity mutual funds. Also
propelling the market during the period was a continued focus on large-
capitalization companies. Many of these companies have downsized to reduce
expenses while maintaining revenues, and have also benefited from their exposure
to foreign expansion opportunities as well as "brand name" recognition from new
equity investors.

     Like the stock market, the fixed income market was characterized by
volatility during the fiscal period. Mid-period, signs of strength in employment
and housing, coupled with healthy retail and capital spending, created concern
that the Federal Reserve (the "Fed") might raise rates. However, tempered
inflation persisted and ultimately kept the Fed on hold. As the six-month period
drew to a close, moderating growth in the economy prevailed.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

     PaineWebber Tactical Allocation Fund's total return (the net asset value 
change with dividends reinvested) for the six months ended February 28, 1997, 
without deducting sales charges, was 21.85% for Class A shares, 21.38% for 
Class B shares, 21.38% for Class C shares and 21.93% for Class Y shares. For 
shareowners who purchased or redeemed Fund shares during the period, the 
Fund's total return for the period may have been lower; for

example, after deducting the maximum applicable sales charges, the Fund's total
return for the period was 16.37% for Class A shares, 16.38% for Class B shares
and 20.38% for Class C shares. Over the six-month period, the Fund outperformed
the 11.72% Lipper average return of its peer group (Flexible Funds).

     The Fund employs a disciplined, model-based approach to calculate an
expected return for U.S. equity market stocks. The expected return of the broad
U.S. stock market is compared with that of a "risk-free" asset (i.e., the one-
year Treasury bill) to quantify an "equity risk premium." The equity risk
premium identifies the expected reward to investors for the risk of owning
stocks versus "risk-free" cash investments. When the premium is above 5.5%, the
Fund invests 100% in stocks, (except for a limited amount of assets kept in cash
to satisfy operating needs).

     Throughout the six-month period, the Model favored equities over bonds and
bonds over cash; given that the equity risk premium (ERP) remained above the
5.5% hurdle required for total stock allocation, the Fund's portfolio remained
fully invested in stocks.

     Early in the period, an improved inflationary environment and the relative
consistency of dividend growth prospects were in large part responsible for
keeping the Fund's ERP above the 5.5% mark. The ERP remained above this level
mid-period through to the end of the period despite the equity market's
continued gain in value--a circumstance that was particularly evident in
November, as equities posted their biggest single month gain since
May of 1990.

OUTLOOK

     At the end of March 1997, the Fed increased short-term interest rates by 
25 basis points. We believe that this does not signal the onset of a bear 
market; however, it may well produce a state of heightened uncertainty and, 
as a result, volatility in equity market prices.

     As of this writing, the Fund continues to remain fully invested in stocks.
We believe the outlook for stocks remains positive due to expectations for
continued moderate inflation and modest economic growth. In addition, U.S.
corporate profit growth should remain positive, although the rate of profit
growth is expected to decelerate from around 10% in 1996 to about 4% in 1997.
However, should the ERP fall below 5.5%, the Model would indicate an allocation
shift away from equities.

PAINEWEBBER    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --(UNAUDITED)
 
             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 dividend reinvested shares automatically
             convert to Class A shares approximately six years after issuance.
             All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each
             class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service
             and/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 which 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 subsidiary of PaineWebber
             Incorporated ("PaineWebber") and investment adviser, administrator
             and distributor of the Fund. Securities traded in the
             over-the-counter ("OTC") market and listed on the Nasdaq Stock
             Market ("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
 
                                                                              15

PAINEWEBBER
 
             collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. The Fund
             occasionally participates in joint repurchase agreement
             transactions with other funds managed by Mitchell Hutchins.
 
             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 up to $250 million and 0.45% thereafter. At February 28,
             1997, the Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $117,126 in investment
             advisory and administration fees.
 
             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
             February 28, 1997, the Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $177,849 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

PAINEWEBBER
 
             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 six months ended February 28, 1997, it earned
             approximately $1,016,824 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 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 no compensation
             in that capacity from the Fund for the six months ended February
             28, 1997.
 
             As of February 28, 1997, the Fund's custodian held cash and cash
             equivalents having an aggregate value of $7,640,900 as collateral
             for portfolio securities loaned having a market value of
             $7,421,337.
 
             INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
 
             For federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned at
             February 28, 1997 was substantially the same as the cost of
             securities for financial statement purposes.
 
             At February 28, 1997, the components of net unrealized appreciation
             of investments were as follows:

(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 each class would be lower if sales
    charges were included. Total investment return for periods of less than one
    year has not been annualized.
 
(2) Disclosure effective for fiscal years beginning on or after September 1,
    1995.
