August 15, 1995
Dear Shareholder,
During the year ended June 30, 1995, the pace of U.S. economic growth was
perceived to have slowed in response to the Federal Reserve Board's repeated
increases in the benchmark Federal Funds rate, the rate banks charge each other
for overnight borrowing. The Federal Reserve Board raised the Federal Funds rate
to 6.0% after seven short-term interest rate hikes between February 1994 and
February 1995. On July 6, 1995, the Federal Reserve cut the benchmark Federal
Funds rate by 0.25% to 5.75%. This decrease, the first in nearly three years,
signals that the Federal Reserve Board believes that inflationary pressures have
eased enough to accommodate an adjustment in monetary conditions.
THE MUNICIPAL MARKET
The Federal Reserve Board's monetary tightening policy set off a turbulent
year in fixed income markets. For example, in June of 1994, interest rates were
still rising in response to the Fed's tightening maneuvers to control the
burgeoning economy. By November 1994, interest rates peaked as the economy
slowed and inflation remained under control. By the end of June 1995, long-term
interest rates had declined approximately 1.5%, with economic indicators
exhibiting a "soft landing"--a slowdown in economic growth without a decline
into recession.
In early December 1994, the municipal market was shaken by the bankruptcy of
Orange County, California. Please note that none of our Funds owned any Orange
County general obligation bonds. Although the bankruptcy initially destabilized
the municipal market, investors ultimately concluded that other municipalities
that had invested in derivatives had not leveraged themselves to the extent
Orange County had. Consequently, the market regained investors' confidence, and
put in a very strong performance.
After years of high volume, new issue supply declined dramatically in 1994
and early 1995. With fewer bonds in the market, demand increases, pushing up the
prices of existing bonds. The combination of limited supply and the perception
that the next Federal Reserve Board action would be a decrease in short-term
interest rates led to a bond market rally during the first six months of 1995.
Recently, the market has become sensitive to the talk of tax reform, which is
expected to become an item of discussion in the 1996 Presidential campaign. We
will monitor these developments and keep you, our shareholders, apprised of
events.
PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The first half of the Fund's fiscal year was dominated by declining
municipal bond prices--a result of increasing interest rates. However, during
the first six months of 1995, the market essentially recouped all of the losses
and even added some very positive returns to municipal portfolios. As a result,
the Fund's total return for the year ended June 30, 1995, without deducting
sales charges, was 8.20% for Class A shares, 7.69% for Class B shares and 8.25%
for Class C shares. The Fund's total return for this period, after deducting the
maximum applicable sales charges, was 5.76% for Class A shares, 7.69% for Class
B shares and 8.25% for Class C shares.

At a special meeting of shareholders that took place on April 13, 1995,
Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins") was appointed as
investment adviser and administrator of the Fund. Mitchell Hutchins, a wholly
owned investment management subsidiary of PaineWebber Incorporated, provides
investment advisory and portfolio management services to individuals, pension
and endowment funds, trusts and institutions. Gregory W. Serbe and Richard S.
Murphy are jointly responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. Mr.
Serbe is a Managing Director of Mitchell Hutchins responsible for overseeing
tax-free fixed income investments. Mr. Murphy is a senior vice president and
portfolio manager at Mitchell Hutchins.
The board of trustees of Mitchell Hutchins/Kidder, Peabody Municipal Bond
Fund has approved a Plan of Reorganization and Termination ("Reorganization")
for submission to the Fund's shareholders, at a special meeting scheduled to be
held on October 27, 1995. If the proposed Reorganization is approved and
implemented, all of the Fund's assets will be acquired and its liabilities
assumed by PaineWebber National Tax-Free Income Fund ("National Tax-Free Income
Fund") in a tax-free reorganization. As a result of the reorganization, the two
funds' assets would be combined and each Fund shareholder would, on the closing
date of the transaction, receive a number of full and fractional shares of the
corresponding Class of shares of National Tax-Free Income Fund having an
aggregate value equal to the value of the shareholder's holdings in the Fund.
National Tax-Free Income Fund is also managed by Gregory W. Serbe and Richard S.
Murphy.
Going forward, our outlook is one of cautious optimism. The Federal Reserve
Board appears to have engineered a "soft landing"--a slowdown in economic growth
without a decline into recession. If the Fed has been successful, it appears as
though the direction for short-term interest rates will continue to decline.
However, if inflation becomes problematic, further increases in short-term
interest rates could be possible. Municipal bond supply remains extremely light,
and demand has been able to absorb this supply, which should cause municipal
bonds to perform better than taxable debt instruments in the coming months. Our
long-term outlook is for strength in the municipal market after the domestic
economic picture becomes clearer.

Notes to Financial Statements

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Mitchell Hutchins/Kidder, Peabody Municipal Bond Fund (formerly Kidder,
Peabody Municipal Bond Fund) (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end investment company.
ORGANIZATIONAL MATTERS--The Fund commenced investment operations on
September 8, 1993. The Fund adopted the Choice Pricing SystemSM. The Fund offers
three classes of shares, Class A, Class B and Class C. Each class represents
interests in the same assets of the Fund and the classes are identical except
for differences in their sales charge structures and ongoing service and
distribution charges. All classes of shares have equal rights as to voting
privileges, except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to
its distribution plan.
VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS--The Fund's investments in government securities
and other securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the average of the
quoted bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market. In the absence of a
market value, investments are valued at fair value as determined by or under the
direction of the Board of Trustees. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60
days or less are valued at amortized cost.
INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME--Investment transactions are
recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment
transactions are calculated on the identified cost method. Interest income is
recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accrued and premiums are amortized
as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.
Income and expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) are allocated
proportionately to each class of shares based upon each class' daily settled net
assets. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately
to each class of shares based on the relative value of shares outstanding at the
beginning of the day. Class specific expenses are charged directly to the
applicable class of shares.
FEDERAL TAX STATUS--The Fund intends to distribute all of its tax-exempt
income and any 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. At June 30, 1995, the Fund had a net capital
loss carryforward of approximately $2,100,000. This loss carryforward is
available as a reduction, to the extent provided in the regulations, of future
net realized capital gains, and will expire at June 30, 2003.
In accordance with Treasury Regulations, the Fund has elected to defer
realized losses arising after October 31, 1994. Such losses have been treated
for tax purposes as arising on July 1, 1995.
To the extent that such losses are used to offset future capital gains, it
is probable that the gains so offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes to Financial Statements--(continued)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS--Dividends and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund declares dividends on a daily basis
from net investment income. Net capital gains, if any, will be distributed at
least annually, but the Fund may make more frequent distributions of such gains,
if necessary, to avoid income or excise taxes. 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. Dividends and
distributions that exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains
for financial reporting purposes but not for tax purposes are reported as
dividends in excess of net investment income or distributions in excess of net
realized capital gains. To the extent they exceed net investment income and net
realized capital gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of
paid-in-capital.
INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR
The Fund's investment adviser and administrator receives compensation from
the Fund accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.60% of the Fund's
average daily net assets.
At a special meeting of shareholders held on April 13, 1995, Mitchell
Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins") was appointed as investment
adviser and administrator of the Fund. The Fund pays the same fee for investment
advisory and administration services to Mitchell Hutchins as previously paid to
Kidder Peabody Asset Management, Inc. ("KPAM"), as described in the Fund's
prospectus. Mitchell Hutchins continues to manage the Fund in accordance with
the Fund's investment objective, policies and restrictions as stated in the
prospectus.
Investment advisory functions for the Fund were previously transferred from
KPAM to Mitchell Hutchins on an interim basis as a result of an asset purchase
