other classes will vary from the performance of the class 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 Tactical
Allocation Fund (the "Fund") for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2000.


MARKET REVIEW
================================================================================
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]

   There was a great deal of volatility in the financial markets during the
year, in part because of the ongoing tug of war between interest rate
expectations and the outlook for corporate profits. Technology stocks led the
equity markets during the first half of the fiscal year. By spring the air came
out of the dot-com balloon due to valuation concerns. An ever-smaller number of
stocks accounted for most of the market's gains, while day-to-day market price
fluctuations became more volatile. Daily price swings of one or two percent of
value became the norm in the latter part of the period.

   The NASDAQ Composite Index, buffeted by shifting values among dot-com
enterprises, nonetheless ended the fiscal year up 53.55%. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average (the "Dow") was up 5.17% and the S&P 500 Index was up 16.31%.
All three indexes rebounded from negative returns in the first half of the
fiscal year.

ANNUAL REPORT


PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS

   The Fund's equity allocation changed several times during the Fund's fiscal
year, when the Fund's Tactical Allocation Model dictated a shift in the
allocation between equities and bonds or cash. Performance was helped in the
first three months of the period by a steady 100% allocation in stocks. After a
brief 75% equity allocation in December, the Fund held equities at 50% from
January through June. In four of these six months this allocation helped Fund
performance but had a negative impact in March and June. In July, we shifted to
a 75% equity allocation, which we held through August.

    The Fund underperformed the S&P 500 Index by 1.94% for the fiscal year.* The
Fund's allocation shifts detracted from performance for the year as a whole,
mainly by not capturing the full extent of the large gain of the S&P 500 in
March (when the Fund held a 50% allocation in equities). Allocation shifts
benefited the Fund in most other months, however, helping to avoid some of the
losses sustained by the Index. Despite lagging the S&P 500, the Fund
outperformed the median for its peer group, the Lipper Flexible Portfolio Funds
universe.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW THE FUND WORKS

The Fund attempts to outperform the S&P 500 Index over the long term, with less
volatility over the course of a full market cycle, by shifting assets between
stocks and bonds or cash based on the Tactical Allocation Model (the "Model").
Management employs the Model to determine the Fund's asset mix between an equity
portion designed to track the performance of the Index and a fixed-income
portion consisting of either bonds (generally five-year U.S. Treasury notes) or
cash (generally 30-day U.S. Treasury bills).

The Model is a systematic, quantitative approach to calculating the risk premium
of stocks and bonds. The risk premium is the difference between the expected
rate of return of equities versus the expected return of a risk-free investment,
such as the one-year Treasury bill. Changes in the allocation are dictated by
changes in the Equity Risk Premium (ERP). When the ERP is 5.5% or more, the
stock allocation is 100%. At 5.0% to 5.5%, the stock allocation is 75%. And, at
4.5% to 5.0%, the allocation is 50%. For every 0.5% that the ERP drops below
5.5%, the Model would signal that another 25% of the Fund's assets must be
shifted out of stocks. The portion of the Fund, if any, that is not invested in
equities is invested in either bonds or cash. The decision to invest in bonds
(five-year U.S. Treasury notes) or cash (30-day U.S. Treasury bills) is
determined by the Bond Risk Premium. The BRP is the difference between the
yield-to-maturity of the five-year U.S. Treasury note and the one-year U.S.
Treasury bill. When the BRP is less than 0.5%, as it was at year-end, the
non-equity portion of the Fund, if any, is in cash; if the spread is 0.5% or
greater, the fixed income portion, if any, is invested in bonds.

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 is 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.

(1)  Figures assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions
     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. Total
     investment return for periods of less than one year has not been
     annualized.

     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

     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.

     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 accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States 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--The Fund calculates net asset values based on the
current market value for its portfolio's securities. The Fund normally obtains
market values for its securities from independent pricing sources. Independent
pricing sources may use reported last sale prices, current market quotations or
valuations from computerized "matrix" systems that derive values based on
comparable securities. Securities traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market
and listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("Nasdaq") normally are valued at
the last sale price on Nasdaq prior to valuation. Other OTC securities are
valued at the last bid price available prior to valuation. Securities which are
listed on U.S. and foreign stock exchanges normally are valued at the last sale
price on the day the securities are 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 as the
primary market by Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins"),
the investment adviser and administrator of the Fund. Mitchell Hutchins is a
wholly owned asset management subsidiary of PaineWebber Incorporated
("PaineWebber"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Paine Webber Group Inc. ("PW
Group"). If a market value is not available from an independent pricing source
for a particular security, that security is valued at fair value as determined
in good faith by or under the direction of the Trust's board of trustees (the
"board"). The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market
value, generally is used to value short-term debt-instruments with sixty days or
less remaining to maturity, unless the Trust's board 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.

     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

18

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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 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 August 31, 2000, the Fund owed Mitchell
Hutchins $1,138,851 in investment advisory and administration fees. Mitchell
Hutchins waived a portion of its investment advisory and administration fees in
connection with the Fund's investment of cash collateral from security lending
in the Mitchell Hutchins Private Money Market Fund LLC. For the year ended
August 31, 2000, Mitchell Hutchins waived $336,961.

     For the year ended August 31, 2000, the Fund paid no brokerage commissions
to PaineWebber for transactions executed on behalf of the Fund.

     On July 12, 2000, PW Group and UBS AG ("UBS") announced that they had
entered into an agreement and plan of merger under which PW Group will merge
into a wholly owned subsidiary of UBS. If all required approvals are obtained
and the required conditions are satisfied, PW Group and UBS expect to complete
the transaction in the fourth quarter of 2000. UBS, with headquarters in Zurich,
Switzerland, is an internationally diversified organization with operations in
many areas of the financial services industry.

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 an 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, 2000, the Fund owed
Mitchell Hutchins $1,804,819 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, 2000, it earned $6,283,025 in sales charges.

                                                                              19

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 year ended
August 31, 2000, PaineWebber received from PFPC, Inc., not the Fund,
approximately 51% 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. For the year ended
August 31, 2000, the Fund earned $1,964,551 for lending its securities and
PaineWebber earned $692,987 in compensation as the Fund's lending agent. At
August 31, 2000, the Fund owed PaineWebber $38,969 in compensation.

     As of August 31, 2000, the Fund held cash and/or cash equivalents having an
aggregate value of $871,953,435 as collateral for portfolio securities loaned
having a market value of $856,521,427. The cash collateral was invested in the
following money market funds:

BANK LINE OF CREDIT

     The Fund may borrow up to $10 million under a short-term unsecured line of
credit with the Fund's custodian ("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. On September 28, 1999, the Fund borrowed
approximately $22,329,000 under the Facility for one day at a rate of 5.738%
which resulted in $3,558 of interest expense. In addition, the Fund had an
average daily amount of borrowing outstanding under the Line of Credit of
$1,679,277 with a related weighted average annualized interest rate of 6.42%.

*    Annualized.

@    Calculated using the average shares outstanding for the year.

(1)  Total investment return is calculated assuming a $10,000 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 any applicable sales charges or program fees; results would be
     lower if they were included. Total investment return for periods of less
     than one year has not been annualized.

(2)  During the years ended August 31, 2000 and August 31, 1999, Mitchell
     Hutchins waived a portion of its advisory and administration fees. The
     ratios excluding the waiver would be the same since the fee waiver
     represents less than 0.005%.

#    Actual amount is less than $0.005.

PAINEWEBBER TACTICAL ALLOCATION FUND


REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP,
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


To the Shareholders and Trustees 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, 2000, and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years then
ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein.
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.

     We have conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States. 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, 2000, 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 Tactical Allocation Fund at August 31, 2000, and the results of its
operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of
the two years then ended and the financial highlights for each of the indicated
periods, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States.

PAINEWEBBER TACTICAL ALLOCATION FUND


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,
2000) 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:

PER SHARE DATA:                     CLASS A    CLASS B    CLASS C    CLASS Y

Short-term capital gains* .......    0.0154    $0.0154    $0.0154     0.0154
Long-term capital gains .........    0.6812     0.6812     0.6812     0.6812
Percentage of ordinary income
  dividends qualifying for the
  dividends received deduction
  available to corporate
  shareholders ..................     52.37%     52.37%     52.37%     52.37%

----------

* 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 2000. 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 2001. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax
advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund.

                                                                              25
