shares versus the MSCI World index. It is important to note PaineWebber Global

available for investment and is unmanaged. The comparison is shown for
illustrative purposes only.

Past performance is no guarantee of future performance.

shown because of differences in sales charges and fees paid by shareholders
investing in different classes.

Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to present you with the annual report for PaineWebber Global
Equity Fund, PaineWebber Emerging Markets Equity Fund and PaineWebber Asia
Pacific Growth Fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1998.

PAINEWEBBER GLOBAL EQUITY FUND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[GRAPHIC]
PERFORMANCE--
     The Fund's total return consists of the change in net asset value with
dividends reinvested. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1998, without
deducting sales charges, Class A shares gained 2.53%, Class B shares gained
1.62%, Class C shares gained 1.74% and Class Y shares gained 2.86%.

The Fund's total return may be lower for shareowners who purchased or redeemed
Fund shares during the period. After deducting the maximum applicable sales
charges, Class A shares lost 2.10%, Class B shares lost 2.74% and Class C shares
gained 0.87%. Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges.

MARKET OVERVIEW--
     The global investment markets endured considerable volatility during the
Fund's fiscal year. During the first six months, the international equity
markets advanced due to strong economic growth and low interest rates throughout
the world. Optimism grew as Europe moved closer to monetary union. Then, toward
the end of the Fund's fiscal year, the international markets faltered as
investors became increasingly risk averse.

     The markets had been highly valued during the year as a result of high
consumer confidence and an attractive investment outlook. As Asia's troubles
spread during the year, other markets encountered problems. Russia's currency
devaluation in August, in connection with short-term debt problems in Brazil,
led investors to demand higher risk premiums and place their funds in safer
investments.

MANAGEMENT CHANGE--
     On September 24, 1998, shareholders of the PaineWebber Global Equity Fund
approved a change to the Fund's management. As a result, effective October 1,
1998, GE Investment Management no longer serves as the Fund's subadviser.
Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. is now responsible for the asset
allocation decision (U.S. versus international allocation) as well as management
of the U.S. portion of the Fund's portfolio.

     Invista Capital Management, Inc. will serve as subadviser to the Fund's
international portion. Invista has an impressive record in managing comparable
international investments. As of August 31, 1998, Invista managed approximately
$26 billion in client assets.

     Fund's U.S./international allocation each month using a proprietary model.

- -    U.S. investment selection--Mark Tincher, Chief Investment Officer of
     Equity Investments, uses the Mitchell Hutchins Factor Valuation Model and
     equity research team to identify undervalued companies with relatively
     strong earnings momentum.
- -    International investment selection--Scott Opsal, Chief Investment Officer
     of Invista, takes a bottom-up, value-oriented approach to investing in
     international stocks that sell at below-average multiples relative to
     similar companies around the world.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS--
     The Fund entered 1998 with low exposure in the Far Eastern markets, and
therefore was little affected by the region's poor performance later in the
year. The Fund's position in Latin American equities significantly hurt
performance, as that market lost 40% during the fiscal year. An overweighting in
continental Europe helped performance for much of the year. After the transition
to Invista as the Fund's sub-adviser, the international portion of the Fund was
positioned defensively to limit its downside risk.

OUTLOOK--
     The Fund remains overweighted in Europe (30.41%),(1) which despite the 
world's troubles still has the most robust economic outlook of the developed 
markets. For example, the United Kingdom continues to provide investment 
opportunities for U.K.-domiciled companies with worldwide operations.

     We expect current economic conditions in the United States--slow growth,
low inflation and low interest rates--to continue into 1999. It is difficult to
predict what will happen to stock prices given their current volatility, but we
look for slower, steadier growth once the markets stabilize.

     Japan seems to be on the right track to taking appropriate bank reform
measures; however, it still must concentrate on working out bad debts. We expect
lower prices for Japanese stocks as earnings estimates are lowered. We continue
to monitor the Asian markets in hope of identifying attractive investments when
the market turns.

     Latin America continues to face economic weakness, although we now are
seeing prices that more fully reflect that outlook. We are researching
opportunities where we think the stock price has overly discounted the company's
prospects.

to Russia, Latin America and most recently Brazil. What began as a local 
concern gradually became global, with investors becoming increasingly risk 
averse. Capital was withdrawn, international lending and borrowing declined 
and many economies in the region weakened or shrank.

     In the past fiscal year, Greece and Portugal were least affected by the
turbulence as falling inflation and low interest rates supported their
economies. Both countries also benefited from their upcoming participation in
the European Monetary Union (EMU). Russian stocks suffered dramatically, losing
almost 90% of their value over the period. The crisis in Russia impacted other
countries in Eastern Europe, resulting in a decline in investor sentiment. Latin
America's current account balances came under pressure as a result of falling
commodity prices; these problems were exacerbated by a downturn in capital
flows.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS--
     In this environment, the Fund's strategy was defensive. The Fund benefited
from strong country selection including overweightings in Korea and continental
Europe, and underweightings in those markets most severely affected by the Asian
crisis, notably Russia and Latin America. Stock selection generally detracted
from performance as the Fund remained concentrated in high-quality companies
with solid long-term growth prospects. In many of these markets, liquidity
considerations drove performance over the year, ignoring stock fundamentals.
Management believes that as some stability begins to return to markets,
long-term fundamentals will once again drive share prices.

OUTLOOK--
     Management's outlook for emerging markets remains cautious. We believe that
emerging markets growth in general will remain weak next year due to high
interest rates and weak export markets.

     Our current outlook for Asian and European Markets is positive. We prefer
Asia and Europe to Latin America. Within Asia, the Fund moved from an
underweight to a neutral position in recent months (29.5%), (1) with its largest
exposure in Korea (9.4%). Korea and Thailand were the first countries into the
crisis, and we believe they are taking the necessary steps to turn their
economies around. We also continue to favor Hungary and Poland due to their
attractive valuations and favorable economic outlooks.

period. After deducting the maximum applicable sales charges, Class A shares

shares are not subject to sales charges.

MARKET OVERVIEW--
     This fiscal year was marked by significant market volatility in the
Asia-Pacific region, beginning with currency devaluations in emerging countries
and spreading to developed markets. The end of fixed exchange rates and the
resulting rise in interest rates worsened the operating environment of two
significant industries in the region--real estate and banking. Government
intervention in Malaysia and Hong Kong added to concerns. In Malaysia, the
announcement of capital controls shocked investors and led to an effective
closure of the stock market.

     In September and October 1998 the region's markets rallied as interest
rates were cut and as central banks and governments appeared more ready to
respond to evidence of slowing global growth.

PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS--
     During the fiscal year, the Fund favored companies in the consumer staples,
telecommunications, and utility sectors. Generally, we emphasize quality
companies with solid domestic franchises. In many of these markets, liquidity
considerations drove performance over the year, ignoring stock fundamentals.
Management believes that as some stability begins to return to markets,
long-term fundamentals once again will drive share prices.

     At the end of the fiscal year, the Fund was overweighted in Australia
(28.8%)(1) and Singapore (9.1%)--Australia due to its steadiness and Singapore
because the government continues to focus on maintaining the nation's
competitive advantages. The Hong Kong position was reduced during the period as
the macroeconomic environment there deteriorated (26.5%). During the second half
of the fiscal year we began to favor Korea (7.8%) and Thailand (1.8%).  These
two countries were the first into the crisis and we believe their governments'
proactive responses are likely to help turn their economies around.

OUTLOOK--
     Management continues to take a long-term view of the region and expects to
continue a defensive focus. We believe a resumption of more positive investor
sentiment depends on continued currency stability and lower interest rates. The
shorter-term outlook for the markets is likely to be influenced by external
developments in the U.S. and Brazil. Economic data still indicate stress within
the region and management expects the Asian economies to remain weak into the
first half of 1999.

     Hong Kong remains one of the more flexible economies within the region, and
probably will adapt to the changing environment. Malaysia's imposition of
capital controls is a negative factor for Singapore's growth outlook, but events
have underscored the strength of Singapore's government by comparison. In
response to the crisis, the government continues to focus on ways to maintain
Singapore's competitive advantages, for example, by cutting costs.

(1) Figures assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions,
   if any, at net asset value on the payable dates and do not include sales
   charges; results for each class would be lower if sales charges were
   included.
 
Note: The Fund offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors,
including participants in certain investment programs that are sponsored by
PaineWebber and may invest in PaineWebber mutual funds as well as the trustee of
the PaineWebber 401(k) Plus Plan (formerly known as PaineWebber Savings
Investment Plan). For the year ended October 31, 1998, the five years ended
October 31, 1998, and for the period from May 10, 1993, through October 31,
1998, Class Y shares had a total return of 2.86%, 46.42% and 63.61%,
respectively. Class Y shares do not have initial or contingent deferred sales
charges or ongoing distribution and service fees.
 
The data above represents past performance of the Fund's shares, which is no
guarantee of future results. The principal value of an investment in the Fund
will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than their original cost.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  The PaineWebber Global Equity Fund ("Global Equity Fund"), a diversified
series of PaineWebber Investment Trust ("Investment Trust"), the PaineWebber
Emerging Markets Equity Fund ("Emerging Markets Equity Fund"), a diversified
series of PaineWebber Investment Trust II ("Investment Trust II") and the
PaineWebber Asia Pacific Growth Fund ("Asia Pacific Growth Fund"), a diversified
series of PaineWebber Managed Investments Trust ("Managed Trust"), (each a
"Fund") are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end management investment
companies. Global Equity Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing
primarily in U.S. and foreign equity securities. Emerging Markets Equity Fund
seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities
of companies in newly industrializing countries. Asia Pacific Growth Fund seeks
long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of
companies in the Asia Pacific region, excluding Japan. (Investment Trust,
Investment Trust II and Managed Trust are each sometimes referred to herein as a
"Trust.") Organizational costs have been deferred and are being (or, in the case
of Global Equity Fund, have been) amortized using the straight-line method over
a period not to exceed 60 months from the date the Funds commenced operations.
 
  Currently, each 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 and related
expenses. In addition, Class B shares and all corresponding dividend reinvested
shares automatically convert to Class A shares approximately six years after
initial issuance. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges, except
that Class A, Class B and Class C shares have exclusive voting rights with
respect to their service and/or distribution plan.
 
  The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the Funds' 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 U.S. and foreign
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 generally 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 each Fund, or a Fund's sub-adviser, Invista Capital
Management, Inc. ("Invista") (for foreign investments only), for Global Equity
Fund, or Schroder Capital Management International Inc. ("Schroder"), for
Emerging Markets Equity Fund and the Asia Pacific Growth 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 trade price on
Nasdaq prior to the time of valuation. When market quotations are not readily
available, securities are valued based upon appraisals derived from information
concerning those securities or similar securities received from a recognized
dealer in those securities. The amortized cost method of valuation, which
approximates market value, is used to value short-term debt instruments with 60
days or less remaining to maturity unless a Trusts' Board determines that this
does not represent fair value. Securities and assets for which market quotations
are not readily available (including restricted securities subject to
limitations as to their sale) are valued at fair value as determined in good
faith by or under the direction of each Trusts' Board.
 
                                       34
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
  All investments quoted in foreign currencies are valued daily in U.S. dollars
on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time such
valuation is determined by each Fund's custodian, unless each Trusts' Board
determines that this does not represent fair value. Foreign currency exchange
rates are generally determined prior to the close of trading on the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Occasionally, events affecting the value of foreign
investments and such exchange rates occur between the time at which they are
determined and the close of trading on the NYSE, which will not be reflected in
a computation of each Fund's net asset value. If events materially affecting the
value of such investments or currency exchange rates occur during such time
period, the investments will be valued at their fair value as determined in good
faith by or under the direction of a Trust's Board.
 
  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--Each 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 Funds have 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 Funds occasionally
participate 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 and
foreign exchange transactions are calculated using the identified cost method.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date ("ex-date") (except in the
case of certain foreign dividends which are recorded as soon after the
ex-dividend date as each Fund using reasonable diligence becomes aware of such
dividends). Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. 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.
 
  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION--The books and records of each Fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S.
dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency market value of investment
securities and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies are
translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period; and (2)
purchases, sales, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange
prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resulting exchange
gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations.
 
  Although the net assets and the market values of each Fund's securities are
presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of the period, the Funds do
not generally isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from
the effect of the changes in market prices of securities. However, the Funds do
isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining
the realized gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency
denominated debt obligations pursuant to federal income tax regulations. Certain
foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and
losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with
federal income tax regulations. Net realized foreign currency gain (loss) is
treated as ordinary income for income tax
 
                                       35
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
reporting purposes. Gains/losses from translating foreign currency denominated
assets and liabilities at year-end exchange rates are included in the change in
unrealized appreciation/depreciation of other assets and liabilities denominated
in foreign currencies.
 
  FUTURES CONTRACTS--Using financial futures contracts involves various market
risks. The maximum amount at risk from the purchase of a futures contract is the
contract value. The Funds use financial futures contracts for hedging purposes,
and in the case of Global Equity Fund, to adjust Global Equity's exposure to
U.S. and foreign equity markets in connection with a reallocation of that Fund's
assets. However, imperfect correlations between futures contracts and the
related portfolio securities or markets, or market disruptions, do not normally
permit full control of these risks at all times.
 
  Upon entering into a financial futures contract, a Fund is required to pledge
to a broker an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This
amount is known as the "initial margin." Subsequent payments, known as
"variation margin," are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the
daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying financial futures contracts.
Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily
basis as an unrealized gain or loss until the financial futures contract is
closed, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized.
 
  DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS--Dividends and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-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.
 
CONCENTRATION OF RISK
 
  Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may
involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with
investments in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies,
adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political,
social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific
industry, country or region, which could cause the securities and their markets
to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S.
companies. These risks are greater with respect to securities of issuers located
in emerging market countries in which each of the Funds invest. The ability of
the issuers of debt securities held by a Fund to meet their obligations may be
affected by economic and political developments in a specific industry, country
or region.
 
INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR
 
  Each Fund has 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 for the Global Equity Fund, Mitchell Hutchins receives
compensation from the Fund, computed daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate
of 0.85% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to and including $500
million, 0.83% of its average daily net assets over $500 million and up to and
including $1 billion and 0.805% of its average daily net assets over $1 billion.
In accordance with the Advisory Contract for the Emerging Markets Equity Fund,
Mitchell Hutchins receives compensation from the Fund, computed daily and paid
monthly, at a rate of 1.20% of its average daily
 
                                       36

net assets. In accordance with the Advisory Contract for the Asia Pacific Growth
Fund, Mitchell Hutchins receives compensation from the Fund, computed daily and
paid monthly, at an annual rate of 1.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets
up to and including $100 million and 1.10% of its average daily net assets over
$100 million.
 
  Mitchell Hutchins has entered into a contract with Invista dated October 1,
1998 ("Invista Contract"), pursuant to which Invista serves as investment
sub-adviser for the international investments of Global Equity Fund. Mitchell
Hutchins allocates the Fund's investments between domestic and international and
is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's domestic investments.
Under the Invista Contract, Mitchell Hutchins (not the Fund) is obligated to pay
Invista at the annual rate of 0.40% of the proportion of the Fund's average
daily net assets allocated to international investments up to and including $100
million and 0.29% of the Fund's average daily net assets allocated to
international investments in excess of $100 million up to and including $300
million and to 0.26% of such assets in excess of $300 million. Prior to October
1, 1998, GE Investment Management Incorporated ("GEIM") served as investment
sub-adviser for all the Fund's assets pursuant to sub-advisory contracts with
Mitchell Hutchins or Kidder, Peabody Asset Management Inc ("KPAM"). GEIM
received $1,332,538 in sub-advisory fees from Mitchell Hutchins for the period
November 1, 1997 through September 30, 1998.
 
  Under a contract with Mitchell Hutchins ("Sub-Advisory Contract"), Schroder
serves as the sub-adviser to the Emerging Markets Equity Fund. Under a
Sub-Advisory Contract, Mitchell Hutchins (not the Fund) pays Schroder a fee,
computed daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.70% of the Fund's
average daily net assets.
 
  Under a contract with Mitchell Hutchins ("Sub-Advisory Contract"), Schroder
serves as the sub-adviser to the Asia Pacific Growth Fund. Under the
Sub-Advisory Contract, Mitchell Hutchins (not the Fund) pays Schroder a fee,
computed daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.65% of the Fund's
average daily net assets up to and including $100 million and 0.55% of the
Fund's average daily net assets over $100 million.
 
  At October 31, 1998 the Global Equity Fund, the Emerging Markets Equity Fund,
and the Asia Pacific Growth Fund owed Mitchell Hutchins $262,953, $0 and
$29,713, respectively, in investment advisory and administrative fees. Mitchell
Hutchins voluntarily waived $154,704 of its management fee for the Emerging
Markets Equity Fund for the year ended October 31, 1998. Mitchell Hutchins may
discontinue this waiver at any time.
 
  For the year ended October 31, 1998, the Funds paid no brokerage commissions
to PaineWebber for transactions executed on behalf of the Funds.
 
DISTRIBUTION PLAN
 
  Mitchell Hutchins is the distributor of each 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, each 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 October 31, 1998 the Global Equity
Fund, the Emerging Markets Equity Fund and the Asia Pacific Growth Fund owed
Mitchell Hutchins $123,342, $139 and $17,630, respectively, in service and
distribution fees. Mitchell Hutchins voluntarily waived $15,948 of its service
and distribution fees for the Emerging Markets Equity Fund for the year ended
October 31, 1998.
 
                                       37

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
  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 the shareholders upon certain redemptions of Class A,

SECURITY LENDING
 
  Each 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 and dividends, determined on a daily basis and
adjusted accordingly. Each Fund will regain record ownership of loaned
securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, each Fund may bear
the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities
loaned should the borrower fail financially. Each 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.
Each Fund's lending agent is PaineWebber, who received compensation from the
Funds for the year ended October 31, 1998 as follows:

from securities lending transactions. At October 31, 1998 there were no

BANK LINE OF CREDIT
 
  Each Fund may participate with other funds managed by Mitchell Hutchins in a
$200 million committed credit facility ("Facility") to be utilized for temporary
financing until settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the
repurchase or redemption of shares of each fund at the request of the
shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. In connection therewith,
each 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 a fund at rates
based on prevailing market rates in effect at the time of borrowings. For the
year ended October 31, 1998 the Emerging Markets Equity Fund borrowed under the
Facility and had an average daily amount of borrowings of $5,500,000, over five
days, with a weighted average annualized interest rate of 5.94%.

** Investment Advisory functions for the Fund were transferred from Kidder
   Peabody Asset Management Inc. to Mitchell Hutchins on February 13, 1995.
 
#  Effective October 1, 1998, Invista Capital Management, Inc. began overseeing
   the day-to-day management of the international portion of the Fund's assets
   and Mitchell Hutchins allocates the portfolio between domestic and
   international investments and manages the domestic portion of the Fund's
   assets.
 
+  Calculated using the average monthly shares outstanding for the year.
 
++ Commencement of offering of shares
 
(1) Total investment return is calculated assuming a $1,000 investment on the
   first day of each period reported, reinvestment of all dividends and other
   distributions, if any, 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 returns for periods of less than a year have
   not been annualized.
 
(2) These ratios include non-recurring acquisition expenses of 0.06%, 0.00% and
   0.06% for Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
The Boards of Trustees and Shareholders
 
  We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolios of investments, of PaineWebber Global Equity Fund,
PaineWebber Emerging Markets Equity Fund and PaineWebber Asia Pacific Growth
Fund as of October 31, 1998, and the related statement of operations for the
year then ended and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial
highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements
and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial highlights based on our audits.
 
  We 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
investments owned at October 31, 1998, by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers. 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 Global Equity Fund, PaineWebber Emerging Markets Equity Fund and
PaineWebber Asia Pacific Growth Fund at October 31, 1998, the results of their
operations for the year then ended and the changes in their net assets and the
financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

from long-term capital gains in the amount of $2.4768 per share for each class
and that no distributions were paid by the PaineWebber Emerging Markets Equity
Fund or the PaineWebber Asia Pacific Growth Fund.
 
  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 reporting.
 
  Because each Fund's fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification
will be sent in respect of calendar year 1998. The second notification, which
will reflect the amounts to be used by calendar year taxpayers on their federal
income tax returns, will be made in conjunction with Form 1099 DIV and is mailed
in January 1999. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers with
respect to the tax consequences of their investment in each Fund.
