Dear Investor,
This is a supplement to the PaineWebber Emerging Markets Equity Fund
Prospectus dated November 1, 1995. The purpose of the supplement is to revise
certain information contained in the Prospectus.
As a result of changes approved at a special meeting of shareholders of
PaineWebber Emerging Markets Equity Fund ('Fund'), the following investment
restrictions replace those appearing under the 'Investment Restrictions' section
on page 16 of the Prospectus:
The Fund will not:
(1) purchase securities of any one issuer if, as a result, more than
5% of the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of
that issuer or the Fund would own or hold more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of that issuer, except that up to
25% of the Fund's total assets may be invested without regard to
this limitation, and except that this limitation does not apply to
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its
agencies and instrumentalities or to securities issued by other
investment companies.
The following interpretation applies to, but is not a part of,
this fundamental restriction: Mortgage- and asset-backed
securities will not be considered to have been issued by the
same issuer by reason of the securities' having the same
sponsor, and mortgage- and asset-backed securities issued by a
finance or other special purpose subsidiary that are not
guaranteed by the parent company will be considered to be issued
by a separate issuer from the parent company.
(2) purchase any security if, as a result of that purchase, 25% or
more of the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities of
issuers having their principal business activities in the same
industry, except that this limitation does not apply to securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or
instrumentalities or to municipal securities.
(3) issue senior securities or borrow money, except as permitted under
the 1940 Act and then not in excess of 33 1/3% of the Fund's total
assets (including the amount of the senior securities issued but
reduced by any liabilities not constituting senior securities) at
the time of the issuance or borrowing, except that the Fund may
borrow up to an additional 5% of its total assets (not including
the amount borrowed) for temporary or emergency purposes.
(4) make loans, except through loans of portfolio securities or
through repurchase agreements, provided that for purposes of this
restriction, the acquisition of bonds, debentures, other debt
securities or instruments, or participations or other interests
therein and investments in government obligations, commercial
paper, certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances or similar
instruments will not be considered the making of a loan.
(5) engage in the business of underwriting securities of other
issuers, except to the extent that the Fund might be considered an
underwriter under the federal securities laws in connection with
its disposition of portfolio securities.
(6) purchase or sell real estate, except that investments in
securities of issuers that invest in real estate and investments
in mortgage-backed securities, mortgage participations or other
instruments supported by interests in real estate are not subject
to this limitation, and except that the Fund may exercise rights
under agreements relating to such securities, including the right
to enforce security interests and to hold real estate acquired by
reason of such enforcement until that real estate can be
liquidated in an orderly manner.
(7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result
of owning securities or other instruments, but the Fund may
purchase, sell or enter into financial options and futures,
forward and spot currency contracts, swap transactions and other
financial contracts or derivative instruments.
