-------------------- Prospectus Page 2 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund THE FUNDS AT A GLANCE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Funds (each a 'Fund') offered by this Prospectus are not intended to provide a complete investment program, but one or more of them may be appropriate as a component of an investor's overall portfolio. Some common reasons to invest in these Funds are to finance college educations, plan for retirement or diversify a portfolio. When selling shares, investors should be aware that they may get more or less for their shares than they originally paid for them. As with any mutual fund, there is no assurance that the Funds will achieve their goals. GROWTH AND INCOME FUND GOAL: To increase the value of your investment by investing primarily in dividend-paying equity securities believed to have potential for rapid earnings growth. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: Current income and capital growth. RISKS: Equity securities historically have shown greater growth potential than other types of securities, but they have also shown greater volatility. Because the Fund invests primarily in equity securities, its price will rise and fall. The Fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign companies, which involves more risk than investing in the securities of U.S. companies. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield, high risk convertible bonds, which are considered predominantly speculative and may involve major risk exposure to adverse conditions. The Fund may use derivatives, such as options and futures, in its hedging activities, which may involve special risks. Investors may lose money by investing in the Fund; the investment is not guaranteed. SIZE: On October 31, 1997, the Fund had over $1.0 billion in net assets. GROWTH FUND GOAL: To increase the value of your investment by investing primarily in equity securities of companies believed to have substantial potential for capital growth. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: Long-term capital appreciation. RISKS: Equity securities historically have shown greater growth potential than other types of securities, but they have also shown greater volatility. Because the Fund invests primarily in equity securities, its price will rise and fall. The Fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign companies, which involves more risk than investing in the securities of U.S. companies. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield, high risk bonds and convertible securities, which are considered predominantly speculative and involve major risk exposure to adverse conditions. The Fund may use derivatives, such as options and futures, in its hedging activities, which may involve special risks. Investors may lose money by investing in the Fund; the investment is not guaranteed. SIZE: On October 31, 1997, the Fund had over $370.6 million in net assets. SMALL CAP FUND GOAL: To increase the value of your investment by investing primarily in equity securities of small capitalization ('small cap') companies. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: Long-term capital appreciation. RISKS: Equity securities historically have shown greater growth potential than other types of securities, but they have also shown greater volatility. Because the Fund invests primarily in equity securities, its price will rise and fall. The Fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign companies, which involves more risk than investing in the securities of U.S. companies. Small cap companies typically are subject to a greater degree of change in earnings and business prospects than are larger, more established companies. In addition, equity securities of small cap companies may be less liquid and more volatile than those of larger companies. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in high yield, high risk convertible bonds, which are considered predominantly speculative and may involve major risk exposure to adverse conditions. The Fund may use derivatives, such as options and futures, in its hedging activities, which may involve special risks. Investors may lose money by investing in the Fund; the investment is not guaranteed. SIZE: On October 31, 1997, the Fund had over $128.2 million in net assets. MANAGEMENT Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc. ('Mitchell Hutchins'), an asset management subsidiary of PaineWebber Incorporated ('PaineWebber'), is the investment adviser and administrator of each Fund. MINIMUM INVESTMENT To open an account, investors need $1,000; to add to an account, investors need only $100. -------------------- Prospectus Page 3 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund THE FUNDS AT A GLANCE (Continued) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHO SHOULD INVEST GROWTH AND INCOME FUND is designed for investors seeking current income and capital growth through investment primarily in dividend-paying equity securities of U.S. companies and foreign companies that are traded in the United States. Growth and Income Fund invests primarily in larger, more established companies believed to be undervalued and to have potential for rapid earnings growth. In addition, Growth and Income Fund can invest in high yield, high risk convertible bonds. These investments offer the potential for greater returns, but also entail a substantial degree of volatility and risk. Accordingly, Growth and Income Fund is designed for investors who are able to bear the risks that come with investments in the stocks and bonds of such companies. GROWTH FUND is designed for investors who want long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily in growth-oriented equity securities of U.S. companies and foreign companies that are traded in the United States. Growth Fund invests primarily in large, medium and small companies believed to have greater capital growth potential. In addition, Growth Fund can invest in high yield, high risk bonds and convertible securities. These investments offer the potential for greater returns, but also entail a substantial degree of volatility and risk. Accordingly, Growth Fund is designed for investors who are able to bear the risks that come with investments in the stocks and bonds of such companies. SMALL CAP FUND is designed for investors who are seeking long-term capital appreciation through investments primarily in equity securities of small cap U.S. companies and foreign companies that are traded in the United States. Small Cap Fund seeks to invest in small cap companies believed to be undervalued and to have strong earnings momentum. Several statistical studies have been published indicating that the historical long-term returns of small cap equity securities have been higher than those of large cap equity securities. Equity securities of small cap companies generally exhibit greater market volatility than is the case with equity securities of larger companies, or equity securities in general. In addition, Small Cap Fund can invest in high yield, high risk convertible bonds. These investments offer the potential for greater returns, but also entail a substantial degree of volatility and risk. Accordingly, Small Cap Fund is designed for investors who are able to bear the risks and fluctuations associated with investment in smaller companies. HOW TO PURCHASE SHARES OF THE FUNDS Investors may select among these classes of shares: CLASS A SHARES The price is the net asset value plus the initial sales charge; the maximum sales charge is 4.5% of the public offering price. Although investors pay an initial sales charge when they buy Class A shares, the ongoing expenses for this class are lower than the ongoing expenses of Class B and Class C shares. CLASS B SHARES The price is the net asset value. Investors do not pay an initial sales charge when they buy Class B shares. As a result, 100% of their purchase is immediately invested. However, Class B shares have higher ongoing expenses than Class A shares. Depending upon how long they own the shares, investors may have to pay a sales charge when they sell Class B shares. This is called a 'contingent deferred sales charge' and applies when investors sell their Class B shares within six years after purchase. After six years, Class B shares convert to Class A shares, which have lower ongoing expenses and no contingent deferred sales charge. CLASS C SHARES The price is the net asset value. Investors do not pay an initial sales charge when they buy Class C shares. As a result, 100% of their purchase is immediately invested. However, Class C shares have higher ongoing expenses than Class A shares. A contingent deferred sales charge of 1% is charged on shares sold within one year of purchase. Class C shares never convert to any other class of shares. CLASS Y SHARES Class Y shares are offered only to limited groups of investors. The price is the net asset value. Investors do not pay an initial sales charge when they buy Class Y shares. As a result, 100% of their purchase is immediately invested. Investors also do not pay a contingent deferred sales charge when they sell Class Y shares. Class Y shares have lower ongoing expenses than any other class of shares. -------------------- Prospectus Page 4 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund EXPENSE TABLE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following tables are intended to assist investors in understanding the expenses associated with investing in each class of shares of the Funds. Expenses shown below represent those incurred for the most recent fiscal year.

- ------------------ CLASS A SHARES: Sales charge waivers and a reduced sales charge purchase plan are available. Purchases of $1 million or more are not subject to an initial sales charge. However, if an investor sells these shares within one year after purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% of the offering price or the net asset value of the shares at the time of sale, whichever is less, is imposed. CLASS B SHARES: Sales charge waivers are available. The maximum 5% contingent deferred sales charge applies to sales of shares during the first year after purchase. The charge generally declines by 1% annually, reaching zero after six years. CLASS C SHARES: If an investor sells these shares within one year after purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% of the offering price or the net asset value of the shares at the time of sale, whichever is less, is imposed. CLASS Y SHARES: No initial or contingent deferred sales charge is imposed, nor are Class Y shares subject to 12b-1 distribution or service fees. Class Y shares may be purchased by participants in certain investment programs that are sponsored by PaineWebber and that may invest in PaineWebber mutual funds ('PW Programs'), when Class Y shares are purchased through that PW Program. Participation in a PW Program is subject to an advisory fee at an annual rate of no more than 1.5% of assets held through that PW Program. This account charge is not included in the table because investors who are not PW Program participants also are permitted to purchase Class Y shares. -------------------- Prospectus Page 5 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund EXPENSE TABLE (Continued) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12b-1 distribution fees are asset-based sales charges. Long-term Class B and Class C shareholders may pay more in direct and indirect sales charges (including 12b-1 distribution fees) than the economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charge permitted by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. 12b-1 fees have two components, as follows:
GROWTH AND INCOME FUND CLASS A CLASS B CLASS C CLASS Y ------- ------- ------- ------- 12b-1 service fees...................... 0.23% 0.25% 0.25% None 12b-1 distribution fees................. None 0.75 0.75 None GROWTH FUND 12b-1 service fees...................... 0.23% 0.25% 0.25% None 12b-1 distribution fees................. None 0.75 0.75 None SMALL CAP FUND 12b-1 service fees...................... 0.25% 0.25% 0.25% None 12b-1 distribution fees................. None 0.75 0.75 None
The 12b-1 fees for Class A shares of Growth and Income Fund and Growth Fund reflect a blended annual rate of the Fund's average daily net assets of 0.25% and 0.15%, representing shares sold on or after December 2, 1988 and shares sold prior to that date, respectively. For more information, see 'Management' and 'Flexible Pricing SM.'

-------------------- Prospectus Page 17 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES & POLICIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Funds' investment objectives may not be changed without shareholder approval. Their other investment policies, except where noted, are not fundamental and may be changed by the Funds' boards of trustees. GROWTH AND INCOME FUND The investment objective of Growth and Income Fund is current income and capital growth. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing primarily in dividend-paying equity securities believed by Mitchell Hutchins to have the potential for rapid earnings growth. Normally, the Fund invests at least 65% of its total assets in such equity securities. The Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in equity securities not meeting these selection criteria, as well as in U.S. government bonds, corporate bonds and money market instruments, including up to 10% in convertible bonds rated below investment grade. Up to 25% of the Fund's total assets may be invested in U.S. dollar-denominated equity securities and bonds of foreign issuers that are traded on recognized U.S. exchanges or in the U.S. over-the-counter ('OTC') market. GROWTH FUND The investment objective of Growth Fund is long-term capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing primarily in equity securities issued by companies believed by Mitchell Hutchins to have substantial potential for capital growth. Under normal circumstances, at least 65% of the Fund's total assets are invested in equity securities. The Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in U.S. government bonds and in corporate bonds (including up to 10% in bonds and convertible securities rated below investment grade). Up to 25% of the Fund's total assets may be invested in U.S. dollar-denominated equity securities and bonds of foreign issuers that are traded on recognized U.S. exchanges or in the U.S. OTC market. SMALL CAP FUND The investment objective of Small Cap Fund is long-term capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, at least 65% of the Fund's total assets are invested in equity securities of small cap companies, which are defined as companies having market capitalizations of up to $1 billion at time of purchase. The Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in equity securities of companies that are larger than small cap companies, as well as in U.S. government bonds, corporate bonds and money market instruments, including up to 10% of total assets in convertible bonds rated below investment grade. Up to 25% of the Fund's total assets may be invested in U.S. dollar-denominated equity securities of foreign issuers traded on recognized U.S. exchanges or in the U.S. OTC market. * * * * As with any mutual fund, there can be no assurance that any of these Funds will achieve its investment objective. Each Fund's net asset value fluctuates based upon changes in the value of its portfolio securities. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY & PROCESS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GROWTH AND INCOME FUND In seeking to balance capital growth with current income, Mitchell Hutchins follows a disciplined investment process that relies on the Mitchell Hutchins Equity Research Team and the Mitchell Hutchins Factor Valuation Model. In order to fulfill the income component, the Fund invests at least 65% of its total assets in dividend-paying stocks. The Model screens a universe of small to large cap companies from ten different business sectors to identify undervalued companies with strong earnings momentum that rank well in three measures: o VALUE: projected dividends, cash flow, earnings and book value; o MOMENTUM: earnings and price to identify companies that could surprise on the upside; and o ECONOMIC SENSITIVITY: to forecast how different equity securities and industries may perform under various economic scenarios. -------------------- Prospectus Page 18 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund The equity securities in the Model's universe are screened twice a month. Then the Team takes a closer look at those equity securities that rank in the top 20% of the Model's universe based on value and momentum. The Team applies traditional fundamental analysis and may speak to the management of these companies, as well as those of their competitors. Based on the Team's findings in the context of Mitchell Hutchins' economic forecast, Mitchell Hutchins decides whether to purchase or sell equity securities for the Fund. In seeking capital appreciation, the Fund would also invest in bonds when, for instance, Mitchell Hutchins anticipates that market interest rates may decline or credit factors or ratings affecting particular issuers may improve. GROWTH FUND In selecting equity securities with the potential for above-average growth in earnings, cash flow and/or book value that are selling at a reasonable value relative to that growth, Mitchell Hutchins follows a disciplined investment process that relies on the Mitchell Hutchins Equity Research Team and combines a 'bottom-up,' stock-by-stock approach with a modified, growth-oriented Mitchell Hutchins Factor Valuation Model. The Fund can invest in companies of large market capitalizations, medium-sized companies and smaller companies that are aggressively expanding their businesses. This flexibility allows the Fund to invest more of its assets in companies that have greater earnings growth potential regardless of their market capitalizations. When investing in small cap companies, the Team places more emphasis on the trading volume of the company's stock. The modified, growth-oriented Model, which the Team generally utilizes as part of the stock selection process, screens a universe of small to large capitalization companies from ten different business sectors to identify companies that rank especially well on growth variables, including earnings momentum, stock price movement, economic sensitivity and other growth factors. The equity securities in the Model's universe are screened twice a month.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION The Funds perform a standardized computation of annualized total return and may show this return in advertisements or promotional materials. Standardized return shows the change in value of an investment in a Fund as a steady compound annual rate of return. Actual year-by-year returns fluctuate and may be higher or lower than standardized return. Standardized returns for Class A shares of the Funds reflect deduction of the Funds' maximum initial sales charge of 4.5% at the time of purchase, and standardized returns for the Class B and Class C shares of the Funds reflect deduction of the applicable contingent deferred sales charge imposed on the sale of shares held for the period. One-, five- and ten-year periods will be shown, unless the Fund or class has been in existence for a shorter period. If so, returns will be shown for the period since inception, known as 'Life.' Total return calculations assume reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. The Funds may use other total return presentations in conjunction with standardized return. These may cover the same or different periods as those used for standardized return and may include cumulative returns, -------------------- Prospectus Page 22 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund average annual rates, actual year-by-year rates or any combination thereof. Non-standardized return does not reflect initial or contingent deferred sales charges and would be lower if such charges were deducted. Total return information reflects past performance and does not indicate future results. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Funds will fluctuate. The amount investors receive when selling shares may be more or less than what they paid. Further information about each Fund's performance is contained in its Annual Report to Shareholders, which may be obtained without charge by contacting the Fund, your PaineWebber investment executive or PaineWebber's correspondent firms or by calling toll-free 1-800-647-1568. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE FUNDS' INVESTMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EQUITY SECURITIES include common stocks, preferred stocks and securities that are convertible into them, including convertible debentures and notes and common stock purchase warrants and rights. Common stocks, the most familiar type, represent an equity (ownership) interest in a corporation. Preferred stock has certain fixed-income features, like a bond, but is actually equity in a company, like common stock. Convertible securities may include debentures, notes and preferred equity securities, which are convertible into common stock. BONDS (including notes and debentures) are used by corporations and governments to borrow money from investors. The issuer pays the investor a fixed or variable rate of interest and must repay the amount borrowed at maturity. Bonds have varying degrees of investment risk and varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. RISKS Under normal circumstances, each Fund invests primarily in equity securities. Following is a discussion of the risks of these investments and other risks that are common to each Fund: EQUITY SECURITIES. While past performance does not guarantee future results, equity securities historically have provided the greatest long-term growth potential in a company. However, their prices generally fluctuate more than other securities and reflect changes in a company's financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. Common stocks generally represent the riskiest investment in a company. It is possible that a Fund may experience a substantial or complete loss on an individual equity investment. FOREIGN SECURITIES. Each Fund may invest a portion of its assets in U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign companies that are traded on recognized U.S. exchanges or in the U.S. OTC market. Investing in the securities of foreign companies involves more risks than investing in securities of U.S. companies. Their value is subject to economic and political developments in the countries where the companies operate and to changes in foreign currency values. Values may also be affected by foreign tax laws, changes in foreign economic or monetary policies, exchange control regulations and regulations involving prohibitions on the repatriation of foreign currencies. In general, less information may be available about foreign companies than about U.S. companies, and foreign companies are generally not subject to the same accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards as are U.S. companies. BOND RATINGS. Investment grade bonds are those rated within the four highest categories by Standard & Poor's, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies ('S&P'), or Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ('Moody's'). Moody's fourth highest category (Baa) includes securities which, in its opinion, have speculative features. For example, changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to make principal and interest payments than is the case for higher-rated debt instruments. The Funds may also invest in securities that are comparably rated by another ratings agency and in unrated securities if they are deemed to be of comparable quality. Credit ratings attempt to evaluate the safety of principal and interest payments and do not evaluate the volatility of a bond's value or its liquidity. There is a risk that bonds will be downgraded by rating agencies. The ratings agencies may fail to make timely changes in credit ratings in response to subsequent events, so that an issuer's current financial condition may be better or worse than the rating indicates. -------------------- Prospectus Page 23 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund INTEREST RATE AND CREDIT RISKS. Interest rate risk is the risk that interest rates will rise and bond prices will fall, lowering the value of a Fund's bond investments. Long-term bonds are generally more sensitive to interest rate changes than short-term bonds. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer or a guarantor may be unable to pay interest or repay principal on the bond. Credit risk can be affected by many factors, including adverse changes in the issuer's own financial condition or in economic conditions. NON-INVESTMENT GRADE (LOWER-RATED) BOND RATINGS. Bonds rated below investment grade are deemed by the ratings agencies to be predominantly speculative regarding the issuer's ability to pay principal and interest and may involve major risk exposure to adverse economic conditions. They are also known as 'junk bonds.' During an economic downturn or period of rising interest rates, issuers of these securities may experience financial stress that adversely affects their ability to pay interest and principal and may increase the possibility of default. Lower-rated bonds are frequently unsecured by collateral and will not receive payment until more senior claims are paid in full. The market for lower-rated bonds is thinner and less active, which may limit the Funds' ability to sell such bonds at a fair value in response to changes in the economy or financial markets. Growth and Income Fund can invest up to 10% of total assets in convertible securities rated as low as B by S&P or Moody's or comparably rated by another ratings agency. Growth Fund can invest up to 10% of total assets in bonds and convertible securities rated as low as B+ by S&P, B1 by Moody's or comparably rated by another ratings agency. Small Cap Fund can invest up to 10% of total assets in convertible securities rated as low as B by S&P or Moody's or comparably rated by another ratings agency. DERIVATIVES. Some of the instruments in which the Funds may invest may be referred to as 'derivatives,' because their value depends on (or 'derives' from) the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. These instruments include options, futures contracts and similar instruments that may be used in hedging strategies. There is only limited consensus as to what constitutes a 'derivative' security. The market value of derivative instruments and securities sometimes is more volatile than that of other investments, and each type of derivative instrument may pose its own special risks. Mitchell Hutchins takes these risks into account in its management of the Funds. COUNTERPARTIES. The Funds may be exposed to the risk of financial failure or insolvency of another party. To help lessen those risks, Mitchell Hutchins, subject to the supervision of the respective boards of trustees, monitors and evaluates the creditworthiness of the parties with which each Fund does business. In addition to these general risks, Small Cap Fund is also subject to the following risk consideration: SMALL CAP COMPANIES. Small cap companies may be more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments. Small cap companies may also have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be dependent on a relatively small management group. Securities of such companies may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of larger companies or the market averages in general and, therefore, may involve greater risk than investing in larger companies. In addition, small cap companies may not be well-known to the investing public, may not have institutional ownership and may have only cyclical, static or moderate growth prospects. INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES AND STRATEGIES HEDGING STRATEGIES USING DERIVATIVES. Each Fund may use derivatives, such as options (on securities, futures contracts and stock indexes) and futures contracts (on stock indexes and interest rates) to reduce the overall risk of its investments ('hedge'). New financial products and risk management techniques continue to be developed and may be used if consistent with the Funds' investment objectives and policies. The Statement of Additional Information for the Funds contains further information on these strategies. The Funds might not use any of these derivatives, and there can be no assurance that any strategy used will succeed. If Mitchell Hutchins is incorrect in its judgment on market values, interest rates or other economic factors in using a hedging strategy, a Fund may have lower net income and a net loss on the investment. Each of these strategies involves certain risks, which include: o the fact that the skills needed to use hedging instruments are different from those needed to select securities for the Funds, o the possibility of imperfect correlation, or even no correlation, between price movements of hedging instruments and price movements of the securities being hedged, -------------------- Prospectus Page 24 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund o possible constraints placed on a Fund's ability to purchase or sell portfolio investments at advantageous times due to the need for the Fund to maintain 'cover' or to segregate securities, and o the possibility that the Fund is unable to close out or liquidate its hedged position. LENDING PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. Each Fund may lend its securities to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors in an amount up to 33 1/3% of that Fund's total assets taken at market value. Lending securities enables a Fund to earn additional income, but could result in a loss or delay in recovering these securities. PORTFOLIO TURNOVER. Each Fund's portfolio turnover rate may vary greatly from year to year and will not be a limiting factor when Mitchell Hutchins deems portfolio changes appropriate. A higher turn- over rate (100% or more) for a Fund will involve correspondingly greater transaction costs, which will be borne directly by the Fund, and may increase the potential for short-term capital gains. DEFENSIVE POSITIONS. When Mitchell Hutchins believes that unusual market or economic circumstances warrant a defensive posture, a Fund may temporarily commit all or any portion of its assets to cash or investment grade money market instruments, including repurchase agreements. In a typical repurchase agreement, a Fund buys a security and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at an agreed-upon price and time, usually no more than seven days after purchase. ILLIQUID SECURITIES. Growth and Income Fund and Growth Fund each may invest up to 10% of its net assets, and Small Cap Fund up to 15% of its net assets, in illiquid securities. These include certain cover for OTC options and securities whose disposition is restricted under the federal securities laws. The Funds do not consider securities that are eligible for resale pursuant to SEC Rule 144A to be illiquid securities if Mitchell Hutchins has determined such securities to be liquid, based upon the trading markets for the securities under procedures approved by the Funds' boards of trustees. OTHER INFORMATION. Each Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued basis or may purchase or sell securities for delayed delivery. A Fund generally would not pay for such securities or start earning interest on them until they are delivered, but it would immediately assume the risks of ownership, including the risk of price fluctuation. Each Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in investment grade money market instruments and/or cash for liquidity purposes or pending investment in other securities. Each Fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes but not in excess of 10% of its total assets, including reverse repurchase agreements up to an aggregate value of 5% (10% for Small Cap Fund) of its net assets. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FLEXIBLE PRICINGSM - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Each Fund offers four classes of shares that differ in terms of sales charges and expenses. An investor can select the class that is best suited to his or her investment needs, based upon the holding period and the amount of investment. CLASS A SHARES HOW PRICE IS CALCULATED: The price is the net asset value plus the initial sales charge (the maximum is 4.5% of the public offering price) next calculated after PaineWebber's New York City headquarters or PFPC Inc., the Funds' transfer agent ('Transfer Agent') receives the purchase order. Although investors pay an initial sales charge when they buy Class A shares, the ongoing expenses for this class are lower than those of Class B and Class C shares. Class A shares sales charges are calculated as follows: -------------------- Prospectus Page 25 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund

- ------------------ (1) A contingent deferred sales charge of 1% of the shares' offering price or the net asset value at the time of sale by the shareholder, whichever is less, is charged on sales of shares made within one year of the purchase date. However, Class A shares representing reinvestment of any dividends or other distributions are not subject to the 1% charge. Withdrawals under the Systematic Withdrawal Plan are not subject to this charge. However, investors may not withdraw more than 12% of the value of the Fund account under the Plan in the first year after purchase. (2) Mitchell Hutchins pays 1% to PaineWebber. SALES CHARGE REDUCTIONS AND WAIVERS Investors purchasing Class A shares in more than one PaineWebber mutual fund may combine those purchases to get a reduced sales charge. Investors who already own Class A shares in one or more PaineWebber mutual funds may combine the amount they are currently purchasing with the value of such previously owned shares to qualify for a reduced sales charge. To determine the sales charge reduction, please refer to the chart above. Investors may also qualify for a reduced sales charge when they combine their purchases with those of: o their spouses, parents or children under age 21; o their Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs); o certain employee benefit plans, including 401(k) plans; o any company controlled by the investor; o trusts created by the investor; o Uniform Gifts to Minors Act/Uniform Transfers to Minors Act accounts created by the investor or group of investors for the benefit of the investors' children; or o accounts with the same adviser. Employers who own Class A shares for one or more of their qualified retirement plans may also qualify for the reduced sales charge. The sales charge will not apply when the investor: o is an employee, director, trustee or officer of PaineWebber, its affiliates or any PaineWebber mutual fund; o is the spouse, parent or child of any of the above; o buys these shares through a PaineWebber investment executive who was formerly employed as a broker with a competing brokerage firm that was registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC; and o was the investment executive's client at the competing brokerage firm; o within 90 days of buying Class A shares in a Fund, the investor sells shares of one or more mutual funds that (a) were principally underwritten by the competing brokerage firm or its affiliates and (b) the investor either paid a sales charge to buy those shares, paid a contingent deferred sales charge when selling them or held those shares until the contingent deferred sales charge was waived; and o the amount that the investor purchases does not exceed the total amount of money the investor received from the sale of the other mutual fund; o is a certificate holder of unit investment trusts sponsored by PaineWebber and has elected to have dividends and other distributions from that investment automatically invested in Class A shares; o is an employer establishing an employee benefit plan qualified under section 401, including a salary reduction plan qualified under section 401(k), or section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code ('Code') (each a 'qualified plan'). (This waiver is subject to minimum requirements, with respect to the number of employees and investment amount, established by Mitchell Hutchins. Currently, the plan must have 50 or more eligible employees and at least $1 million in plan assets.) For investments made pursuant to this waiver, Mitchell Hutchins may make a payment to PaineWebber out of its own resources in an amount not to exceed 1% of the amount invested; o is a participant in the PaineWebber Members Only Program(Trademark). For investments made pursuant to this waiver, Mitchell Hutchins may make payments out of its own resources to PaineWebber and to participating membership organizations in a total amount not to exceed 1% of the amount invested; -------------------- Prospectus Page 26 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund o is a variable annuity offered only to qualified plans. For investments made pursuant to this waiver. Mitchell Hutchins may make payments out of its own resources to PaineWebber and to the variable annuity's sponsor, adviser or distributor in a total amount not to exceed 1% of the amount invested; o acquires Class A shares through an investment program that is not sponsored by PaineWebber or its affiliates and that charges participants a fee for program services, provided that the program sponsor has entered into a written agreement with PaineWebber permitting the sale of Class A shares at net asset value to that program. For investments made pursuant to this waiver, Mitchell Hutchins may make a payment to PaineWebber out of its own resources in an amount not to exceed 1% of the amount invested. For subsequent investments or exchanges made to supplement a rebalancing feature of such an investment program, the minimum subsequent investment requirement is waived; or o acquires Class A shares in connection with a reorganization pursuant to which a Fund acquires substantially all of the assets and liabilities of another investment company in exchange solely for shares of the Fund. For more information on how to get any reduced sales charge, investors should contact a PaineWebber investment executive or a correspondent firm or call 1-800-647-1568. Investors must provide satisfactory information to PaineWebber or the Fund if they seek any of these sales charge reductions or waivers. CLASS B SHARES HOW PRICE IS CALCULATED: The price is the net asset value next calculated after PaineWebber's New York City headquarters or the Transfer Agent receives the purchase order. The ongoing expenses investors pay for Class B shares are higher than those of Class A shares. Because investors do not pay an initial sales charge when they buy Class B shares, 100% of their purchase is immediately invested. Depending on how long they own their Fund investment, investors may have to pay a sales charge when they sell their Fund shares. This sales charge is called a 'contingent deferred sales charge.' The amount of the charge depends on how long the investor owned the shares. The sales charge is calculated by multiplying the offering price (net asset value of the shares at the time of purchase) or the net asset value at the time of sale by the shareholder, whichever is less, by the percentage shown on the following table. Investors who own shares for more than six years do not have to pay a sales charge when selling those shares.
IF THE INVESTOR PERCENTAGE BY WHICH THE SHARES' SELLS SHARES WITHIN: NET ASSET VALUE IS MULTIPLIED: - ------------------------ ------------------------------- 1st year since purchase 5% 2nd year since purchase 4 3rd year since purchase 3 4th year since purchase 2 5th year since purchase 2 6th year since purchase 1 7th year since purchase None
CONVERSION OF CLASS B SHARES Class B shares automatically convert to the appropriate number of Class A shares of equal dollar value after the investor has owned them for six years. Dividends and other distributions paid to the investor by the Fund in the form of additional Class B shares will also convert to Class A shares on a pro-rata basis. This benefits shareholders because Class A shares have lower ongoing expenses than Class B shares. If the investor has exchanged Class B shares between PaineWebber funds, the Fund uses the purchase date at which the initial investment was made to determine the conversion date. MINIMIZING THE CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE When investors sell Class B shares they have owned for less than six years, the Fund automatically will minimize the sales charge by assuming the investors are selling: o First, Class B shares owned through reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions; and o Second, Class B shares held in the portfolio the longest. WAIVERS OF THE CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE The contingent deferred sales charge will not apply to: o sales of shares under the Fund's Systematic Withdrawal Plan (investors may not withdraw annually more than 12% of the value of the Fund account under the Plan); o a distribution from an IRA, a self-employed individual retirement plan ('Keogh Plan') or a custodial account under section 403(b) of the Code (after the investor reaches age 59 1/2); o a tax-free return of an excess IRA contribution; o a tax-qualified retirement plan distribution following retirement; or o Class B shares sold within one year of an investor's death if the investor owned the shares at the time of death either as the sole shareholder or with his or her spouse as a joint tenant with the right of survivorship. -------------------- Prospectus Page 27 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund An investor must provide satisfactory information to PaineWebber or the Fund if the investor seeks any of these waivers. CLASS C SHARES HOW PRICE IS CALCULATED: The price of Class C shares is the net asset value next calculated after PaineWebber's New York City headquarters or the Transfer Agent receives the purchase order. The ongoing expenses of Class C shares are higher than those of Class A shares. Because investors do not pay an initial sales charge when they buy Class C shares, 100% of their purchase is immediately invested. A contingent deferred sales charge of 1% of the net asset value of the shares at the time of purchase or sale, whichever is less, is charged on sales of shares made within one year of the purchase date. Other PaineWebber mutual funds may impose a different contingent deferred sales charge on Class C shares sold within one year of the purchase date. A sale of Class C shares acquired through an exchange and held less than one year will be subject to the same contingent deferred sales charge that would have been imposed on the Class C shares of the PaineWebber mutual fund originally purchased. Class C shares representing reinvestment of any dividends or capital gains will not be subject to the 1% charge. Withdrawals under the Systematic Withdrawal Plan also will not be subject to this charge. However, investors may not withdraw more than 12% of the value of the Fund account under the Plan in the first year after purchase. CLASS Y SHARES HOW PRICE IS CALCULATED: Eligible investors may purchase Class Y shares at the net asset value next calculated after PaineWebber's New York City headquarters or the Transfer Agent receives the purchase order. Because investors do not pay an initial sales charge when they buy Class Y shares, 100% of their purchase is immediately invested. No contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on Class Y shares, and the ongoing expenses for Class Y shares are lower than for the other classes because Class Y shares are not subject to 12b-1 distribution or service fees. LIMITED GROUPS OF INVESTORS. Only the following investors are eligible to buy Class Y shares: o a participant in one of the PW Programs listed below when Class Y shares are purchased through that PW Program; o an investor who buys $10 million or more at any one time in any combination of PaineWebber mutual funds in the Flexible Pricing(Service Mark) System; o a qualified plan that has either 5,000 or more eligible employees or $50 million or more in assets; o an investment company advised by PaineWebber or an affiliate of PaineWebber; and o for Growth and Income Fund and Growth Fund, the trustee of the PaineWebber Savings Investment Plan ('PW SIP') PACE MULTI-ADVISOR PROGRAM: An investor who participates in the PACE Multi-Advisor Program is eligible to purchase Class Y shares. The PACE Multi-Advisor Program is an advisory program sponsored by PaineWebber that provides comprehensive investment services, including investor profiling, a personalized asset allocation strategy using an appropriate combination of funds, and a quarterly investment performance review. Participation in the PACE Multi-Advisor Program is subject to payment of an advisory fee at the maximum annual rate of 1.5% of assets. Employees of PaineWebber and its affiliates are entitled to a waiver of this fee. Please contact your PaineWebber investment executive or PaineWebber's correspondent firms for more information concerning mutual funds that are available through the PACE Multi-Advisor Program. INSIGHT. An investor who participates in the INSIGHT Advisory Program ('INSIGHT'), a total portfolio asset allocation program sponsored by PaineWebber, is eligible to purchase Class Y shares. Participation in INSIGHT is subject to payment of an advisory fee to PaineWebber at the maximum annual rate of 1.5% of assets held through the program. Employees of PaineWebber and its affiliates are entitled to a 50% reduction in the fee otherwise payable for participation in INSIGHT. -------------------- Prospectus Page 28 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund PURCHASES BY THE TRUSTEE OF THE PW SIP Class Y shares of Growth Fund and Growth and Income Fund also are offered for sale to the trustee of the PW SIP, a defined contribution plan sponsored by Paine Webber Group Inc. ('PW Group'). The trustee of the PW SIP purchases Class Y shares to implement the investment choices of individual plan participants with respect to their PW SIP contributions. Individual plan participants should consult the Plan Information Statement and Summary Plan Description of the PW SIP (collectively, 'Plan Documents') for a description of the procedures and limitations applicable to making and changing investment choices. Copies of the Plan Documents are available from the PaineWebber Incorporated Benefits Department, 10th Floor, 1000 Harbor Boulevard, Weehawken, New Jersey 07087 (telephone 1-201-902-4444). As described in the Plan Documents, the average net asset value per share at which Class Y shares of Growth Fund and Growth and Income Fund are purchased by the trustee of the PW SIP for the accounts of individual participants might be more or less than the net asset value per share prevailing at the time that such participants made their investment choices or made their contributions to the PW SIP. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW TO BUY SHARES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prices are calculated for each class of a Fund's shares once each Business Day, at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). A 'Business Day' is any day, Monday through Friday, on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. The Funds and Mitchell Hutchins reserve the right to reject any purchase order and to suspend the offering of Fund shares for a period of time. When placing an order to buy shares, investors should specify which class of shares they want to buy. If investors fail to specify the class, they will automatically receive Class A shares, which include an initial sales charge. Investors in Class Y shares must provide satisfactory information to PaineWebber or an individual Fund that they are eligible to purchase Class Y shares. PAINEWEBBER CLIENTS Investors who are PaineWebber clients may buy shares through PaineWebber investment executives or its correspondent firms. Investors may buy shares in person, by mail, by telephone or by wire (the minimum wire purchase is $1 million). PaineWebber investment executives and correspondent firms are responsible for promptly sending investors' purchase orders to PaineWebber's New York City headquarters. Investors may pay for their purchases with checks drawn on U.S. banks or with funds they have in their brokerage accounts at PaineWebber or its correspondent firms. Payment is due on the third Business Day after PaineWebber's New York City headquarters receives the purchase order. OTHER INVESTORS Investors who are not PaineWebber clients may purchase Fund shares and set up an account through the Transfer Agent (PFPC Inc.) by completing and signing an account application which you may obtain by calling 1-800-647-1568. The application and check must be mailed to PFPC Inc., Attn: PaineWebber Mutual Funds, P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington, DE 19899. New investors to PaineWebber may complete and sign an account application and mail it along with a check. Investors may also open an account in person. Investors who already have money invested in a PaineWebber mutual fund, and want to invest in another PaineWebber mutual fund, can: o mail an application with a check; or o open an account by exchanging from another PaineWebber mutual fund. Investors do not have to send an application when making additional investments in the Fund. MINIMUM INVESTMENTS To open an account................. $1,000 To add to an account............... $ 100
A Fund may waive or reduce these minimums for: o employees of PaineWebber or its affiliates; or o participants in certain pension plans, retirement accounts, unaffiliated investment programs or the Fund's automatic investment plan. -------------------- Prospectus Page 29 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund HOW TO EXCHANGE SHARES As shareholders, investors have the privilege of exchanging Class A, B and C shares for shares of the same class of other PaineWebber mutual funds. For classes of shares where no initial sales charge is imposed, a contingent deferred sales charge may apply if the investor sells the shares acquired through the exchange. Class Y shares are not exchangeable. Exchanges may be subject to minimum investment requirements of the fund into which exchanges are made. o Investors who purchased their shares through an investment executive at PaineWebber or one of its correspondent firms may exchange their shares by contacting their investment executive in person or by telephone, mail or wire. o Investors who do not have an account with an investment executive at PaineWebber or one of its correspondent firms may exchange their shares by writing a 'letter of instruction' to the Transfer Agent. The letter of instruction must include: o the investor's name and address; o the Fund's name; o the Fund account number; o the dollar amount or number of shares to be sold; and o a guarantee of each registered owner's signature by an eligible institution, such as a commercial bank, trust company or stock exchange member. The letter must be mailed to PFPC Inc., Attn: PaineWebber Mutual Funds, P.O. Box 8950, Wilmington, DE 19899. No contingent deferred sales charge is imposed when Class B or C shares are exchanged for Class B or C shares of other PaineWebber mutual funds. A Fund will use the purchase date of the initial investment to determine any contingent deferred sales charge due when the acquired shares are sold. Fund shares may be exchanged only after the settlement date has passed and payment for the shares has been made. The exchange privilege is available only in those jurisdictions where the sale of the fund shares to be acquired is authorized. This exchange privilege may be modified or terminated at any time and, when required by SEC rules, upon a 60-day notice. See the back cover of this Prospectus for a listing of other PaineWebber mutual funds. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW TO SELL SHARES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investors can sell (redeem) shares at any time. Shares will be sold at the share price for that class (less any applicable contingent deferred sales charge) as next calculated after the order is received by PaineWebber's New York City headquarters or the Transfer Agent. Share prices are normally calculated at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). Investors who own more than one class of shares should specify which class they are selling. If they do not, the Fund will assume they are first selling their Class A shares, then Class C, then Class B and last, Class Y. If a shareholder wants to sell shares that were purchased recently, the Fund may delay payment until it verifies that good payment was received. In the case of purchases by check, this can take up to 15 days. Investors who have an account with PaineWebber or one of PaineWebber's correspondent firms can sell their shares by contacting their investment executive. Investors who do not have an account and have bought their shares through the Funds' Transfer Agent (PFPC Inc.) may sell shares by writing a 'letter of instruction,' as detailed in 'How to Exchange Shares.' Because the Funds incur certain fixed costs in maintaining shareholder accounts, each Fund reserves the right to purchase back all of its shares in any shareholder account with a net asset value of less than $500. If a Fund elects to do so, it will notify the shareholder of the opportunity to increase the amount invested to $500 or more within 60 days of the notice. The Fund will not purchase back accounts that fall below $500 solely due to a reduction in net asset value per share. REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE Shareholders who sell their Class A shares may reinstate their Fund account without a sales charge up to the dollar amount sold by purchasing the Fund's Class A shares within 365 days after the sale. To take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, shareholders must notify their investment executive at PaineWebber or one of its correspondent firms at the time of purchase. -------------------- Prospectus Page 30 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund OTHER SERVICES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investors should consult their investment executives at PaineWebber or one of its correspondent firms to learn more about the following services available with respect to the Funds' Class A, Class B and C shares: AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN Investing on a regular basis helps investors meet their financial goals. PaineWebber offers an Automatic Investment Plan with a minimum initial investment of $1,000 through which the Fund will deduct $50 or more each month from the investor's bank account to invest directly in the Fund. In addition to providing a convenient and disciplined manner of investing, participation in the Automatic Investment Plan enables the investor to use the technique of 'dollar cost averaging.' SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN The Systematic Withdrawal Plan allows investors to set up monthly, quarterly (March, June, September and December), semiannual (June and December) or annual (December) withdrawals from their Fund accounts. Minimum balances and withdrawals vary according to the class of shares: o CLASS A AND CLASS C SHARES. Minimum value of Fund shares is $5,000; minimum withdrawals of $100. o CLASS B SHARES. Minimum value of Fund shares is $20,000; minimum monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual withdrawals of $200, $400, $600 and $800, respectively. Withdrawals under the Systematic Withdrawal Plan will not be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Investors may not withdraw annually more than 12% of the value of the Fund account when the investor signed up for the Plan. Shareholders who elect to receive dividends or other distributions in cash may not participate in the Plan. INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS Self-Directed IRAs are available through PaineWebber in which purchases of PaineWebber funds and other investments may be made. Investors considering establishing an IRA should review applicable tax laws and should consult their tax advisers. TRANSFER OF ACCOUNTS If investors holding shares of a Fund in a PaineWebber brokerage account transfer their brokerage accounts to another firm, the Fund shares will be moved to an account with the Transfer Agent. However, if the other firm has entered into a selected dealer agreement with Mitchell Hutchins relating to the Fund, the shareholder may be able to hold Fund shares in an account with the other firm. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MANAGEMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Each Fund is governed by its board of trustees, which oversees the Fund's operations. Each board has appointed Mitchell Hutchins as investment adviser and administrator responsible for the Fund's operations (subject to the authority of the board). As investment adviser and administrator, Mitchell Hutchins supervises all aspects of each Fund's operations and makes and implements all investment decisions for that Fund. The boards, as part of their overall management responsibility, oversee various organizations responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund. In accordance with procedures adopted by the boards, brokerage transactions for the Funds may be conducted through PaineWebber or its affiliates and the Funds may pay fees to PaineWebber for its services as lending agent in their portfolio securities lending programs. ABOUT THE INVESTMENT ADVISER Mitchell Hutchins, located at 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York, 10019, is the asset management subsidiary of PaineWebber, which is wholly owned by Paine Webber Group Inc., a publicly owned financial services holding company. On October 31, 1997, Mitchell Hutchins was adviser or sub-adviser of 29 investment companies with 64 separate portfolios and aggregate assets of approximately $35.6 billion. Personnel of Mitchell Hutchins may engage in securities transactions for their own accounts pursuant to a code of ethics that establishes procedures for personal investing and restricts certain transactions. -------------------- Prospectus Page 31 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund As investment adviser for Growth and Income Fund, Growth Fund and Small Cap Fund, Mitchell Hutchins makes and implements all investment decisions and supervises all aspects of each Fund's operations. Mark A. Tincher is a managing director and chief investment officer of equities of Mitchell Hutchins, responsible for overseeing the management of equity investments. Upon his arrival at Mitchell Hutchins, Mr. Tincher formed the Mitchell Hutchins Equity Research Team. Each analyst on the Team focuses on different industries. As a result, the Team provides PaineWebber Stock Funds with more specialized knowledge of the various industries in which the Funds generally invest. The Equity Research Team is also assisted by members of Mitchell Hutchins' fixed income groups, who provide input on market outlook, interest rate forecasts and other considerations pertaining to domestic equity and fixed income investments. GROWTH AND INCOME FUND Mr. Tincher has been responsible for the day-to-day management of Growth and Income Fund since April 1995. From March 1988 to March 1995, Mr. Tincher worked for Chase Manhattan Private Bank where he was a vice president. Mr. Tincher directed the U.S. funds management and equity research area at Chase and oversaw the management of all Chase U.S. equity funds (the Vista Funds and Trust Investment Funds). Mr. Tincher was the sole portfolio manager of Vista Growth and Income Fund ('Vista Fund'), with full discretionary authority over the selection of investments, from July 31, 1991 through March 16, 1995. Vista Fund's investment objectives of long-term capital appreciation and dividend income are substantially similar to Growth and Income Fund's investment objective of current income and capital growth. Mr. Tincher used and relied upon the same valuation model and analytical methods when managing the Vista Fund as he now uses for Growth and Income Fund. The cumulative total return for Vista Fund for the period it was managed by Mr. Tincher was 46.18%; 39.24% after deducting that Fund's maximum sales charge of 4.75%. As of March 31, 1995, the Vista Fund had $1.6 billion in net assets. The chart below shows calendar year total returns for Vista Fund; the 1991 return represents the period from July 31, 1991 when Mr. Tincher took over day-to-day management of the Vista Fund through December 31, 1991. Sales charges have not been deducted from total returns. Returns would be lower if sales charges were deducted. 7/3/91-12-31/91 1992 1993 1994 --------------- ---- ---- ---- Mr. Tincher's Term as Manager of Vista Growth and Income Fund 9.69% 15.11% 12.99% -3.41% Average annual returns both before and after deducting the maximum sales charges are shown in the table below.

Harris has been responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of Growth Fund since its inception. Ms. Harris is a managing director of Mitchell Hutchins. Prior to joining Mitchell Hutchins in 1983 as a portfolio manager, Ms. Harris served as a vice president and portfolio manager at American General Capital Management (now American Capital Management). SMALL CAP FUND Donald R. Jones has been primarily responsible for day-to-day portfolio management of Small Cap Fund since April 1996. Mr. Jones has been a first vice president of Mitchell Hutchins since February 1996. Prior to joining Mitchell Hutchins, Mr. Jones was a vice president in the Asset Management Group of First Fidelity Bancorporation, which he joined in 1983. MANAGEMENT FEES & OTHER EXPENSES The Funds pay Mitchell Hutchins a monthly fee for its services. For the most recently ended fiscal year, the Funds paid advisory fees at the annual rate (as a percentage of average daily net assets) of 0.70% for Growth and Income Fund, 0.75% for Growth Fund and 1.00% for Small Cap Fund. DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS Mitchell Hutchins is the distributor of each Fund's shares and has appointed PaineWebber as the exclusive dealer for the sale of those shares. There is no distribution plan with respect to the Funds' Class Y shares. Under distribution plans for Class A, Class B and Class C shares ('Class A Plan,' 'Class B Plan' and 'Class C Plan,' collectively, 'Plans'), the Funds pay Mitchell Hutchins: o Monthly service fees at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each class of shares. o Monthly distribution fees at the annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class B and Class C shares. Under the Plans, Mitchell Hutchins primarily uses the service fees to pay PaineWebber for shareholder servicing, currently at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of the aggregate investment amounts maintained in each Fund's Class A, Class B and Class C shares by PaineWebber clients. PaineWebber then compensates its investment executives for shareholder servicing that they perform and offsets its own expenses in servicing and maintaining shareholder accounts. Mitchell Hutchins uses the distribution fees under the Class B and Class C Plans to: o Offset the commissions it pays to PaineWebber for selling each Fund's Class B and Class C shares, respectively. o Offset each Fund's marketing costs attributable to such classes, such as preparation, printing and distribution of sales literature, advertising and prospectuses to prospective investors and related overhead expenses, such as employee salaries and bonuses. PaineWebber compensates investment executives when Class B and Class C shares are bought by investors, as well as on an ongoing basis. Mitchell Hutchins receives no special compensation from any of the Funds or investors at the time Class B or C shares are bought. Mitchell Hutchins receives the proceeds of the initial sales charge paid when Class A shares are bought and of the contingent deferred sales charge paid upon sales of shares. These proceeds may be used to cover distribution expenses. The Plans and the related distribution contracts for each class of shares ('Distribution Contracts') specify that each Fund must pay service and distribution fees to Mitchell Hutchins for its activities, not as reimbursement for specific expenses incurred. Therefore, even if Mitchell Hutchins' expenses exceed the service or distribution fees it receives, the Funds will not be obligated to pay more than those fees. On the other hand, if Mitchell Hutchins' expenses are less than such fees, it will retain its full fees and realize a profit. Expenses in excess of service and distribution fees received or accrued through the termination date of any Plan will be Mitchell Hutchins' sole responsibility and not that of the Funds. Annually, the board of each Fund reviews each Plan and Mitchell Hutchins' corresponding expenses for each class separately from the Plans and expenses of the other classes. -------------------- Prospectus Page 33 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund DETERMINING THE SHARES' NET ASSET VALUE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The net asset value of a Fund's shares fluctuates and is determined separately for each class as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) each Business Day. Each Fund's net asset value per share is determined by dividing the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus any cash or other assets, minus all liabilities, by the total number of Fund shares outstanding. Each Fund values its assets based on their current market value when market quotations are readily available. If market quotations are not readily available, assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of its board. The amortized cost method of valuation generally is used to value debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining to maturity, unless a Fund's board determines that this does not represent fair value. It should be recognized that judgment plays a greater role in valuing lower-rated corporate bonds because there is less reliable, objective data available. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DIVIDENDS & TAXES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DIVIDENDS Growth Fund and Small Cap Fund each pays an annual dividend, and Growth and Income Fund pays a semiannual dividend, from its net investment income and net short-term capital gain, if any. Each Fund also distributes annually substantially all of its net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss), if any. Each Fund may make additional distributions, if necessary, to avoid a 4% excise tax on certain undistributed income and capital gain. If determined by its board to be in the best interests of its shareholders, Growth and Income Fund may also make additional distributions of net investment income and net short-term capital gain, if any. Dividends and other distributions paid on each class of shares of a Fund are calculated at the same time and in the same manner. Dividends on Class A, B and C shares of a Fund are expected to be lower than those on its Class Y shares because the other shares have higher expenses resulting from their service fees and, in the case of Class B and Class C shares, their distribution fees. Dividends on Class B and Class C shares of a Fund are expected to be lower than those on its Class A shares because Class B and Class C shares have higher expenses resulting from their distribution fees. Dividends on each class might be affected differently by the allocation of other class-specific expenses. See 'General Information.' Each Fund's dividends and other distributions are paid in additional Fund shares of the same class at net asset value, unless the shareholder has requested cash payments. Shareholders who wish to receive dividends and other distributions in cash, either mailed to them by check or credited to their PaineWebber accounts, should contact their investment executives at PaineWebber or one of its correspondent firms or complete the appropriate section of the account application. TAXES Each Fund intends to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company under the Code so that it will not have to pay federal income tax on that part of its investment company taxable income (generally consisting of net investment income and net short-term capital gain) and net capital gain that it distributes to its shareholders. Dividends from each Fund's investment company taxable income (whether paid in cash or additional shares) are generally taxable to its shareholders as ordinary income. Distributions of each Fund's net capital gain (whether paid in cash or additional shares) are taxable to its shareholders as long-term capital gain, regardless of how long they have held their Fund shares. Under the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, different maximum tax rates apply to net capital gain depending on the taxpayer's holding period and marginal rate of federal income tax -- generally, 28% for gain recognized on capital assets held for more than one year but not more than 18 months and 20% (10% for taxpayers in the 15% marginal tax bracket) for gain -------------------- Prospectus Page 34 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund recognized on capital assets held for more than 18 months. A notice issued by the Internal Revenue Service in November 1997 permits each Fund to bifurcate each net capital gain distribution into a 20% rate gain distribution and a 28% rate gain distribution (in accordance with the Fund's holding periods for the securities it sold that generated the gain) and requires its shareholders to treat those portions accordingly. Shareholders who are not subject to tax on their income generally will not be required to pay tax on distributions from the Funds. YEAR-END TAX REPORTING Following the end of each calendar year, each Fund notifies its shareholders of the amounts of dividends and capital gain distributions paid (or deemed paid) by the Fund that year and any portion of those dividends that qualifies for special tax treatment. The information regarding capital gain distributions designates the portions thereof subject to the different maximum rates of tax applicable to individuals' net capital gain indicated above. BACKUP WITHHOLDING Each Fund must withhold 31% of all dividends, capital gain distributions and redemption proceeds payable to individuals and certain other non-corporate shareholders who do not provide the Funds with a correct taxpayer identification number. Withholding at that rate also is required from dividends and capital gain distributions payable to such shareholders who otherwise are subject to backup withholding. TAXES ON THE SALE OR EXCHANGE OF FUND SHARES A shareholder's sale (redemption) of Fund shares may result in a taxable gain or loss. This depends upon whether the shareholder receives more or less than the adjusted basis for the shares (which normally includes any initial sales charge paid on Class A shares). An exchange of any Fund's shares for shares of another PaineWebber mutual fund generally will have similar tax consequences. In addition, if a Fund's shares are bought within 30 days before or after selling other shares of that Fund (regardless of class) at a loss, all or a portion of that loss will not be deductible and will increase the basis of the newly purchased shares. SPECIAL TAX RULES FOR CLASS A SHAREHOLDERS Special tax rules apply when a shareholder sells (redeems) or exchanges Class A shares within 90 days of purchase and subsequently acquires Class A shares of the same or another PaineWebber mutual fund without paying a sales charge due to the 365-day reinstatement privilege or the exchange privilege. In these cases, any gain on the sale or exchange of the original Class A shares would be increased, or any loss would be decreased, by the amount of the sales charge paid when those shares were bought, and that amount would increase the basis of the PaineWebber mutual fund shares subsequently acquired. No gain or loss will be recognized to a shareholder as a result of conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares. * * * * Because the foregoing only summarizes some of the important considerations affecting the Funds and their shareholders, a further discussion is contained in the Statement of Additional Information. Prospective shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisers. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GENERAL INFORMATION - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ORGANIZATION GROWTH AND INCOME FUND Growth and Income Fund is a diversified series of PaineWebber America Fund, an open-end management investment company that was formed on October 31, 1986 as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The board has authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series, par value $0.001 per share. GROWTH FUND Growth Fund is a diversified series of PaineWebber Olympus Fund, an open-end management investment company that was formed on October 31, 1986 as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The board has authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series, par value $0.001 per share. -------------------- Prospectus Page 35 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund SMALL CAP FUND Small Cap Fund is a diversified series of PaineWebber Securities Trust ('Securities Trust'), an open-end management investment company that was formed on December 3, 1992 as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The board has authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series, par value $0.001 per share. In addition to Small Cap Fund, shares of one other series have been authorized. SHARES The shares of each Fund are divided into four classes, designated Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares. Each class of shares of a Fund represents an identical interest in that Fund's investment portfolio and has the same rights, privileges and preferences. However, each class may differ with respect to sales charges, if any, distribution and/or service fees, if any, other expenses allocable exclusively to each class, voting rights on matters exclusively affecting that class, and its exchange privilege, if any. The different sales charges and other expenses applicable to the different classes of shares of the Funds will affect the performance of those classes. Each share of a Fund is entitled to participate equally in dividends, other distributions and the proceeds of any liquidation of that Fund. However, due to the differing expenses of the classes, dividends on a Fund's Class A, B, C and Y shares will differ. Although each Fund is offering only its own shares, it is possible that a Fund could become liable for a misstatement in the Prospectus about another Fund. The board of each Fund considered this factor in approving the use of a combined Prospectus. VOTING RIGHTS Shareholders of each Fund are entitled to one vote for each full share held and fractional votes for fractional shares held. Voting rights are not cumulative and, as a result, the holders of more than 50% of all the shares of any Fund (or Securities Trust, which has more than one series) may elect all of the trustees of that Fund or of Securities Trust. The shares of a Fund will be voted together except that only the shareholders of a particular class of a Fund may vote on matters affecting only that class, such as the terms of a Plan as it relates to the class. The shares of each series of Securities Trust will be voted separately except where an aggregate vote of all series is required by law. SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS The Funds do not hold annual meetings. Shareholders of record of no less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of a Fund or Securities Trust may remove a trustee through a declaration in writing or by vote cast in person or by proxy at a meeting called for that purpose. A meeting will be called to vote on the removal of a trustee at the written request of holders of 10% of a Fund's or Securities Trust's outstanding shares. REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS Each Fund sends its shareholders audited annual and unaudited semiannual reports, each of which includes a list of the investment securities held by that Fund as of the end of the period covered by the report. The Statement of Additional Information, which is incorporated herein by reference, is available to shareholders upon request. CUSTODIAN & RECORDKEEPING AGENT; TRANSFER & DIVIDEND DISBURSING AGENT State Street Bank and Trust Company, located at One Heritage Drive, North Quincy, Massachusetts 02171, serves as each Fund's custodian and recordkeeping agent. PFPC Inc., a subsidiary of PNC Bank, N.A., serves as each Fund's transfer and dividend disbursing agent. It is located at 400 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington, DE 19809. PFPC (not the Funds) pays PaineWebber for certain transfer agency related services that PFPC has delegated to PaineWebber. -------------------- Prospectus Page 36 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund [This page intentionally left blank] -------------------- Prospectus Page 37 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund [This page intentionally left blank] -------------------- Prospectus Page 38 ------------------------------ PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund Growth Fund Small Cap Fund [This page intentionally left blank] -------------------- Prospectus Page 39 PaineWebber Growth and Income Fund PaineWebber Growth Fund PaineWebber Small Cap Fund PROSPECTUS--DECEMBER 1, 1997, AS REVISED DECEMBER 23, 1997 / / PAINEWEBBER BOND FUNDS / / PAINEWEBBER STOCK FUNDS High Income Fund Capital Appreciation Fund Investment Grade Income Fund Financial Services Growth Fund Low Duration U.S. Government Growth Fund Income Fund Growth and Income Fund Strategic Income Fund Small Cap Fund U.S. Government Income Fund Utility Income Fund / / PAINEWEBBER TAX-FREE BOND FUNDS / / PAINEWEBBER GLOBAL FUNDS California Tax-Free Income Fund Asia Pacific Growth Fund Municipal High Income Fund Emerging Markets Equity Fund National Tax-Free Income Fund Global Equity Fund New York Tax-Free Income Fund Global Income Fund / / PAINEWEBBER ASSET / / PAINEWEBBER MONEY MARKET FUND ALLOCATION FUNDS Balanced Fund Tactical Allocation Fund
