Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to present you with the semiannual report for the PaineWebber
Tactical Allocation Fund (the "Fund") for the six-month period ended February
28, 1998.

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

[GRAPHIC]

  After an August selloff, the stock market quickly regained its footing in
September when inflation came in lower than expected. The Asian markets imploded
in October, causing a sharp selloff in equity markets worldwide. This event also
caused a "flight to quality" into the U.S. Treasury bond market, and bonds
rallied substantially. As events unfolded, investors refocused on the underlying
strength of the U.S. economy and caused the stock market to stage a comeback in
November.

  Volatility returned to the stock market in December as earnings estimates were
revised downward. By the end of January, negative earnings reports stabilized
when it became evident that the long-expected slowdown in corporate earnings
growth would not be felt until later this year. The market hit a new high and
continued to advance in February. As investors scrambled to buy into the rising
market, they focused on the more liquid, large cap stocks.

  Sectors that fared poorly at end of 1997 turned in outstanding performances in
early 1998. Technology stocks, consumer cyclicals such as department stores and
auto supply companies, and certain transportation stocks -most notably airlines
- - all rebounded sharply from year-end slumps. Consumer cyclicals responded to
strong, steady consumer spending. Financials continued to do reasonably well.
Energy stocks performed the worst as weakening economies in Asia drove down oil
prices. Consumer nondurables, a traditional defensive sector, continued to lag.

PERFORMANCE

  The Fund's total return (the net asset value change with dividends reinvested)
for the six-month period ended February 28, 1998, without deducting sales
charges, was 17.06% for Class A shares, 16.67% for Class B shares, 16.62% for
Class C shares and 17.25% for Class Y shares.

  For shareowners who purchased or redeemed Fund shares during the period the
Fund's total return may be lower; for example, after deducting the maximum
applicable sales charges, the Fund's total return for the period was 11.78% for
Class A shares, 11.67% for Class B shares, 15.62% for Class C shares and 17.25%
for Class Y shares.

PORTFOLIO POSITIONING

  Management employs the Tactical Allocation Model (the "Model") to determine
the Fund's asset mix between an equity portion designed to track the performance
of the S&P 500 Index and a fixed-income portion consisting of either bonds
(five-year U.S. Treasury notes) or cash (30-day U.S. Treasury bills). The Model
is a systematic, quantitative approach to calculate the risk premium -- the
return advantage -- of stocks and bonds. The Model compares the expected return
of the stock market and of bonds with the "risk-free" asset (the one-year
Treasury bill) to determine the equity risk premium (ERP) and bond risk premium
(BRP).

  Historically, the ERP has averaged about five percentage points per year. If
the ERP is 5.5% or greater, the Fund is fully invested in stocks. If the ERP
falls below the 5.5% hurdle rate, it indicates that the expected return of the
stock market does not fully compensate investors for the expected risk of owning
stocks. Therefore, some or all of the Fund's assets would be shifted to bonds or
cash, depending on the bond risk premium.

  Historically, the BRP has averaged 0.5%. If this spread is 0.5% or greater,
the fixed-income portion is invested in bonds; if the spread is less than 0.5%,
the fixed income portion is allocated to cash (the 30-day Treasury bill). For
every 0.5% that the ERP drops below 5.5%, the Model would signal that another
25% of the Fund's assets should be shifted out of stocks.

  The Fund's Model attempts to outperform the S&P 500 Index over the long term
with less volatility by shifting assets between stocks and bonds or cash. Of
course, as with all investment disciplines, there's no guarantee the Model will
accurately anticipate significant shifts in the markets and correctly determine
when to move into or out of stocks, bonds or cash.

  The Fund was fully invested in stocks included in the S&P 500 Index for over
three years (from March 1, 1995 through March 31, 1998). During that period, the
S&P 500 Index advanced 26.9% at an annual rate. On April 1, 1998, the first
business day of the month, the Fund's Model calculated the ERP at 5.43%, below
the 5.5% threshold. This decline triggered a shift in the Fund's allocation from
a full investment in stocks to a 75% weighting in stocks. Since the BRP was less
than 0.5%, the 25% reduction in stocks was allocated to cash (the 30-day
Treasury bill).

  The ERP decline can be primarily attributed to appreciation in the stock
market relative to short-term interest rates and to projected dividend growth.
Put another way, given current short-term interest rates, as of April 1, 1998,
the stock market is more fully valued than when the Fund's ERP was above 5.5%.
Thus, the Model no longer views the equity market as having a high likelihood of
producing significantly positive returns and causes the Fund's asset allocation
to be more cautious.

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

- -->

  Of course, the ERP may shortly return to 5.5% or higher, requiring the Fund to
be fully invested in stocks again or it could dip further into Treasury bills or
change its non-stock allocation to Treasury notes. A further shift away from
stocks would depend upon the stock market's reaction to continuing short-term
interest rate moves, stock valuations and changes in dividend growth
expectations.

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 have been 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"), an asset management 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, 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 securities 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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
  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. At
February 28, 1998, the Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $746,617 in investment
advisory and administration fees.
 
  For the six months ended February 28, 1998, the Fund paid $4,612 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 February 28, 1998, the Fund owed
Mitchell Hutchins $1,115,643 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 six
months ended February 28, 1998, it earned $1,689,426 in sales charges.
 
TRANSFER AGENCY SERVICE FEES
 
  PaineWebber provides transfer agency related services to the Fund pursuant to
a delegation of authority from PFPC, Inc., the Fund's transfer agent, and is
compensated for the services by PFPC, Inc., not the Fund. For the six months
ended February 28, 1998, PaineWebber received from PFPC, Inc., not the Fund,
approximately 58% of the total transfer agency and related service fees
collected by PFPC, Inc. from the Fund.

SECURITY LENDING
 
  The Fund may lend securities 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 $15,756 in compensation in that capacity from
the Fund for the six months ended February 28, 1998. At February 28, 1998, the
Fund owed PaineWebber $2,502 in compensation.
 
  As of February 28, 1998, the Fund held cash and/or cash equivalents having an
aggregate value of $75,094,201 as collateral for portfolio securities loaned
having a market value of $73,062,313.
 
BANK LINES 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 six months ended February 28, 1998,
the Fund did not borrow under the Facility and had an average daily amount of
borrowing outstanding under the Line of Credit arrangement of $1,495,511 with a
related weighted average annualized interest rate of 6.34%.
 
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
 
  For federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned at February 28,
1998 was substantially the same as the cost of securities for financial
statement purposes.
 
  At February 28, 1998, the components of net unrealized appreciation of
investments were as follows:

**   Investment advisory functions for the Fund were transferred from Kidder,
     Peabody Asset Management, Inc. to Mitchell Hutchins on February 13, 1995.
 
 @   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.

(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.
