                          UBS Enhanced NASDAQ-100 Fund
                 (a series of UBS Mutual Funds Securities Trust)

Dear Shareholder:

     Enclosed is a Notice of a Special Meeting of  Shareholders  (the "Meeting")
of the UBS Enhanced NASDAQ-100 Fund (the "Nasdaq-100  Fund"),  which is a series
of UBS Mutual Funds  Securities  Trust.  The Meeting has been called for October
29, 2003 at 10:00 a.m.  Eastern  time, at 51 West 52nd Street,  16th Floor,  New
York, New York 10019-6114. The accompanying Prospectus/Proxy Statement describes
a proposal  being  presented  for your  consideration  and requests  your prompt
attention  and vote  via the  enclosed  proxy  card or by  telephone  or via the
Internet.

                   Please take a moment to fill out, sign and
                         return the enclosed Proxy Card!

     The Meeting is  extremely  important.  You are being asked to consider  and
approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization  (the "Agreement and Plan") that
would result in your shares of the Nasdaq-100 Fund being exchanged for shares of
the UBS U.S.  Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Small Cap Fund"),  a series of The UBS
Funds.  If the  shareholders  of the  Nasdaq-100  Fund approve the Agreement and
Plan, it is presently  expected that the Nasdaq -100 Fund would liquidate all of
its current holdings.  The Small Cap Fund would acquire substantially all of the
Nasdaq-100  Fund's  assets,  which  will then  consist  of cash,  subject to the
liabilities  of the  Nasdaq-100  Fund.  You will receive shares of the Small Cap
Fund equal in value to your shares of the Nasdaq-100 Fund. You will no longer be
a shareholder of the  Nasdaq-100  Fund, but will instead be a shareholder of the
Small Cap Fund.

     It is expected that the merger  contemplated by the Agreement and Plan will
be a taxable event to shareholders of the Nasdaq-100 Fund. As a result,  you may
recognize  gain or loss for  federal  income  tax  purposes  as a result  of the
exchange of your shares of the Nasdaq-100 Fund for shares of the Small Cap Fund.

     The Small Cap Fund and the  Nasdaq-100  Fund invest  principally  in equity
securities, as described in the Prospectus/Proxy  Statement. The Small Cap Fund,
like the  Nasdaq-100  Fund,  is  advised  and  sub-advised  by asset  management
subsidiaries  of UBS AG. By merging the Nasdaq-100 Fund into the Small Cap Fund,
UBS Global Asset Management believes that Nasdaq-100 Fund shareholders will have
the opportunity to benefit from the Small Cap Fund's small cap growth investment
strategy.  Nasdaq-100 Fund  shareholders  should also benefit from the Small Cap
Fund's actively managed, diversified investment portfolio and broader investment
mandate.  The  combination  of the two funds  will  create a larger  fund with a
larger asset base that may provide certain economies of scale, which may benefit
shareholders as well as the Small Cap Fund's investment advisor.

     Please take the time to review the entire  Prospectus/Proxy  Statement  and
vote now! Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, please vote your shares
by mail, by telephone or via the Internet. If you determine at a later date that
you wish to attend the Meeting, you may revoke your proxy and vote in person.

     Thank you for your prompt attention and participation.

                                              Very truly yours,


                                              /a/ Joseph A. Varnas
                                              Joseph A. Varnas
                                              President

     This  Prospectus/Proxy  Statement solicits proxies to be voted at a Special
Meeting of  Shareholders  (the  "Meeting") of UBS Enhanced  NASDAQ-100 Fund (the

                                     SUMMARY

     This  is  only  a  summary  of  certain   information   contained  in  this
Prospectus/Proxy Statement. You should read the more complete information in the
rest of this  Prospectus/Proxy  Statement,  including  the  Agreement  and  Plan
(attached as Exhibit A), the Small Cap Fund  Prospectus  (included as Exhibit B)
and the Small Cap Fund Annual Report (included as Exhibit C).

What is the purpose of the proposal?

     The Board of Trustees of the Securities Trust (the "Securities Trust Board"
or the "Securities  Trust Trustees") has approved the Agreement and Plan for the
Nasdaq-100 Fund and recommends that  shareholders of the Nasdaq-100 Fund vote to
approve the Agreement and Plan. If  shareholders  of the Nasdaq-100 Fund approve
the Agreement and Plan, it is presently  expected that the Nasdaq-100 Fund would
liquidate all of its current  holdings,  and substantially all of the Nasdaq-100
Fund's assets, which will then consist of cash (subject to its liabilities) will
be  transferred  to the Small Cap Fund, in exchange for an equal value of shares
of the  Small  Cap  Fund.  These  shares  of the  Small  Cap Fund  will  then be
distributed  to  the  Nasdaq-100  Fund's  shareholders.  As  illustrated  in the
following chart,  shareholders of each class of the Nasdaq-100 Fund will receive
shares of the corresponding  class of the Small Cap Fund equal in value to their
investment in the Nasdaq-100 Fund:

=====================================   ====================================
        Shareholders who own:                       Will receive:
=====================================   ====================================
Class A Shares of the Nasdaq-100 Fund   Class A Shares of the Small Cap Fund
 ("Nasdaq-100 Fund Class A Shares")     ("Small Cap Fund Class A Shares")
=====================================   ====================================
Class B Shares of the Nasdaq-100 Fund   Class B Shares of the Small Cap Fund
 ("Nasdaq-100 Fund Class B Shares")       ("Small Cap Fund Class B Shares")
=====================================   ====================================
Class C Shares of the Nasdaq-100 Fund   Class C Shares of the Small Cap Fund
 ("Nasdaq-100 Fund Class C Shares")       ("Small Cap Fund Class C Shares")
=====================================   ====================================
Class Y Shares of the Nasdaq-100 Fund   Class Y Shares of the Small Cap Fund
 ("Nasdaq-100 Fund Class Y Shares")       ("Small Cap Fund Class Y Shares")
=====================================   ====================================

The  Nasdaq-100  Fund  will  then be  liquidated.  As a result  of the  proposed
transaction,  which is referred  to in this  Prospectus/Proxy  Statement  as the
"Merger," you will cease to be a shareholder of the Nasdaq-100 Fund and you will
become a shareholder of the Small Cap Fund. This exchange,  which is intended to
be a taxable  transaction for federal income tax purposes,  will occur on a date
agreed upon between the Securities Trust and the Trust.

     The Small Cap Fund is a series of the Trust, an investment  company that is
advised  by  UBS  Global  Asset  Management  (Americas)  Inc.  ("UBS  Global  AM
(Americas)")  and  sub-advised  by UBS Global Asset  Management  (New York) Inc.
("UBS Global AM (New York)").  The Nasdaq-100 Fund is a series of the Securities
Trust, an investment company that is advised by UBS Global Asset Management (US)
Inc. ("UBS Global AM") and  sub-advised by DSI  International  Management,  Inc.
("DSI").  UBS Global AM (Americas),  UBS Global AM (New York), UBS Global AM and
DSI are indirect,  wholly owned subsidiaries of UBS AG. In this Prospectus/Proxy
Statement,  the Small Cap Fund and the Nasdaq-100 Fund are each referred to as a
"Fund," and together as the "Funds."

Why is the Merger being proposed?

     UBS  Global  AM has  reviewed  its  mutual  funds and  determined  that the
Nasdaq-100 Fund, which is managed based on the enhanced indexing strategy of its
sub-advisor,  DSI, is unlikely to attract  additional

                                        1






assets  and is not a viable  investment  product,  given the  Nasdaq-100  Fund's
current  asset size.  UBS Global AM has  reimbursed  the  Nasdaq-100  Fund for a
portion of its expenses since the Fund's inception,  and UBS Global AM currently
is obligated to continue this expense waiver until January, 31, 2004. UBS Global
AM may  determine  not to continue the expense  waiver for the  Nasdaq-100  Fund
after  January 31, 2004. In addition,  UBS Global AM has recently  determined to
focus  primarily  on its core  investment  capabilities,  which  will no  longer
include enhanced indexing products such as the Nasdaq-100 Fund.

     In addition, UBS Global Asset Management has decided to organize into three
distinct global investment  platforms:  Core Asset  Management,  Alternative and
Quantitative  Investments  ("AQI") and Real Estate.  DSI will be integrated into
the AQI  platform,  which  will  enable  DSI to  manage  alternative  investment
products, such as hedge funds. Due to certain compliance implications, including
possible  conflicts of interest  that may arise if DSI were to manage both hedge
funds and mutual funds, DSI has decided to cease managing mutual funds.

     Given the above  considerations,  Nasdaq-100 Fund's  management  determined
that a merger  of the Fund  would be in the  best  interests  of the  Nasdaq-100
Fund's  shareholders.  Consequently,  the Nasdaq-100 Fund's management submitted
the  proposed  Merger  for  the  approval  of the  Securities  Trust  Board.  In
evaluating the proposed Merger,  the Securities Trust Board considered,  as more
fully  described  below under  "REASONS FOR THE MERGER," the following  factors,
among others:

     o    The perceived volatility of a small cap growth fund, such as the Small
          Cap Fund, is similar to the perceived  volatility of a Nasdaq-oriented
          fund, such as the Nasdaq-100 Fund.

     o    For a period of one year  following  the  closing of the  Merger,  the
          expense ratio of each class of shares of the Small Cap Fund will be no
          higher than the expense ratio of the corresponding  class of shares of
          the  Nasdaq-100  Fund.  This is due to the  agreement of UBS Global AM
          (Americas) to waive a portion of its advisory fees.

     o    If the Merger is approved by shareholders  of the Nasdaq-100  Fund, it
          is contemplated that the investment advisory fee payable to UBS Global
          AM (Americas) by the Small Cap Fund will be contractually reduced from
          1.00%  to  0.85%  of  the  Fund's   average   daily  net  assets  upon
          consummation of the Merger.

     o    The  combined  fund will have a larger asset base and may benefit from
          economies of scale and any  corresponding  reduction in expenses  that
          result from such larger asset base.

     o    A  taxable  Merger  will  not be  adverse  to  the  vast  majority  of
          Nasdaq-100  Fund  shareholders  because  of  the  accumulated  deficit
          (consisting  of accumulated  capital and other losses,  and unrealized
          depreciation of investments) experienced by the Nasdaq-100 Fund in its
          holdings  since the Fund's  inception  in  calendar  year  2000;  as a
          result, Nasdaq-100 Fund shareholders who have experienced a decline in
          the net asset value of their Fund shares may  recognize a taxable loss
          on the  exchange  of their  Nasdaq-100  Fund shares for Small Cap Fund
          shares.  Based on the records of the Fund's transfer agent, as of June
          30, 2003, the vast majority of the Nasdaq-100 Fund shareholders  owned
          their  shares at a loss.  As a result,  UBS  Global AM  believes  that
          relatively few  shareholders  of the Nasdaq-100  Fund will recognize a
          gain because of the Merger (based upon current net asset values).

     o    UBS Global AM will bear all expenses  incurred in connection  with the
          Merger.

     o    Nasdaq-100 Fund  shareholders will not pay a front-end sales charge to
          become  shareholders  of the  Small  Cap Fund in  connection  with the
          Merger.

                                        2







     o    Shareholders  of the Nasdaq-100  Fund will not experience any dilution
          in the value of their investments as a result of the Merger.

After consideration of these factors,  and for the reasons set forth below under
"REASONS FOR THE MERGER,"  the  Securities  Trust  Trustees  concluded  that the
Merger is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Nasdaq-100 Fund.

What would happen if the Merger is not approved?

     If the shareholders of the Nasdaq-100 Fund do not approve the Agreement and
Plan,  the  Merger  will not take  place,  and the  Securities  Trust  Board may
consider other possible courses of action, including liquidation and dissolution
of the Nasdaq-100 Fund.

                      THE SECURITIES TRUST BOARD RECOMMENDS
                THAT YOU VOTE TO APPROVE THE AGREEMENT AND PLAN.

How will the shareholder voting be handled?

     Shareholders of the Nasdaq-100 Fund who own shares at the close of business
on August 27, 2003 (the "Record  Date") will be entitled to vote at the Meeting.
Shareholders  will be entitled to one vote for each full share and a  fractional
vote for each fractional share that they hold. To approve the  reorganization of
the  Nasdaq-100  Fund into the Small Cap Fund, a majority (as defined  under the
Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")) of the outstanding
voting shares of the Nasdaq-100 Fund must be voted in favor of the Agreement and
Plan.

     Please  vote  by  proxy  as  soon  as  you  receive  this  Prospectus/Proxy
Statement.  You may cast your vote by completing  and signing the enclosed proxy
card, or by telephone or via the Internet.  If you return your signed proxy card
or vote by telephone or via the Internet,  your votes will be officially cast at
the Meeting by the persons  appointed  as proxies.  You can revoke your proxy or
change  your  voting  instructions  at any time  until  the vote is taken at the
Meeting. For more details about shareholder voting, see the "VOTING INFORMATION"
section of this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

What are the general tax consequences of the Merger?

     It is anticipated  that the Merger will be a taxable event to  shareholders
of the  Nasdaq-100  Fund. If  shareholders  of the  Nasdaq-100  Fund approve the
reorganization,  it  is  currently  expected  that  the  Nasdaq-100  Fund  would
liquidate all of its current holdings and transfer cash to the Small Cap Fund in
connection  with the Merger.  Because of this  expectation  and the  significant
differences  in the Funds'  investment  objectives  and the manner in which each
Fund seeks to achieve its  investment  objective,  it is  contemplated  that the
reorganization   of  the  Nasdaq-100   Fund  will  not  qualify  as  a  tax-free
acquisition.  It is expected that  Stradley,  Ronon,  Stevens & Young,  LLP will
provide a legal opinion that the merger may be a taxable event to the Nasdaq-100
Fund's shareholders.

     If you hold shares of the Nasdaq-100 Fund in tax-advantaged  accounts, such
as retirement  plans, the Merger will have no immediate tax consequence for you.
If  you  hold  shares  of  the   Nasdaq-100   Fund  in  accounts  that  are  not
tax-advantaged,  the tax  effect of the  Merger  will be the same as if you sold
shares of the Nasdaq-100 Fund. This means that you will recognize a taxable gain
or loss for  federal  income tax  purposes,  depending  on whether the net asset
value of your shares in the Nasdaq-100 Fund at the time of the Merger is greater
or less than your tax basis in such shares.

     You should,  however,  consult your tax advisor regarding the effect of the
Merger,  if any,  in light of your  individual  circumstances.  You should  also
consult your tax advisor about state and local tax

consequences  of  the  Merger,   if  any,  because  the  information  about  tax
consequences in this  Prospectus/Proxy  Statement  relates to the federal income
tax consequences only. For further information about the tax consequences of the
Merger,  see "INFORMATION ABOUT THE MERGER--What are the tax consequences of the
Merger?"

What are the investment objective and policies of the Small Cap Fund?

     The Small Cap Fund is a diversified  investment  company. As its investment
objective,  the Small Cap Fund seeks to provide long-term capital  appreciation.
Under normal market  conditions,  the Small Cap Fund invests at least 80% of its
net  assets  (plus  borrowings  for  investment  purposes,  if  any)  in  equity
securities  of  U.S.  small  capitalization   companies.   Small  capitalization
companies  are those  companies  with market  capitalizations  ranging from $100
million  to $2.5  billion at the time of  purchase.  The Small Cap Fund also may
invest up to 20% of its net assets in foreign securities. The Small Cap Fund may
(but is not required to) use certain derivative instruments.

     In addition to equity securities,  the Small Cap Fund may invest in cash or
cash equivalent  instruments,  including shares of money market mutual funds and
similar investment vehicles.  When market conditions warrant, the Small Cap Fund
may make substantial temporary defensive investments in cash equivalents,  which
may affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.

     UBS  Global  AM (New  York),  the  Small Cap  Fund's  sub-advisor,  selects
securities of companies that possess dominant market positions or franchises,  a
major technical edge, or a unique competitive advantage.  The Small Cap Fund may
invest in emerging  growth  companies  that UBS Global AM (New York)  expects to
experience  above-average  earnings or cash flow growth or meaningful changes in
underlying asset values.  UBS Global AM (New York) actively manages the Fund. As
such,  increased  portfolio  turnover may result in higher  costs for  brokerage
commissions, transaction costs and taxable gains.

     For further information about the investment  objective and policies of the
Fund, see "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES OF
THE SMALL CAP FUND."

COMPARISONS OF SOME IMPORTANT FEATURES

How do the investment objectives and policies of the Funds compare?

     There are significant  differences between the Funds' investment objectives
and policies.  The Small Cap Fund's investment objective is to provide long-term
capital  appreciation.  The Nasdaq-100  Fund's  investment  objective is to seek
higher total return over the long term than the Nasdaq-100  Index. The Small Cap
Fund seeks  capital  appreciation,  without  reference  to an explicit  index or
measure.  The  Nasdaq-100  Fund's  investment  objective is linked to a specific
index,  whereas the Small Cap Fund's  investment  objective is not.  Each Fund's
investment objective cannot be changed without shareholder approval.

     The Funds' holdings have dramatically different capitalizations.  The Small
Cap Fund invests  principally in equity securities of U.S. small  capitalization
companies.   For  these  purposes,  small  capitalization  companies  are  those
companies with market capitalizations  ranging from $100 million to $2.5 billion
at the time of  purchase.  The  Nasdaq-100  Fund invests  principally  in equity
securities  issued by  companies  represented  in the  Nasdaq-100  Index.  As of
September 30, 2002, the average market  capitalization  of the Nasdaq-100 Fund's
portfolio was $51.4 billion.  So, while both Funds invest in equity  securities,
the  market  capitalization  ranges  of  the  Funds'  portfolio  securities  are
different.

                                        4







     In addition,  the Nasdaq-100 Fund, as a result of its investment  policy of
investing in equity securities of companies represented in the Nasdaq-100 Index,
has significant holdings in the technology sector (which includes biotechnology,
communications equipment,  semi-conductor equipment and products, and software).
In contrast,  the Small Cap Fund, which is not confined to purchasing securities
of companies included in an index or a pre-existing list, is permitted to invest
in a wider range of companies,  and is generally  more  diversified  across more
market sectors.

     The Small Cap Fund is more actively managed than the Nasdaq-100 Fund, which
is designed to more closely track the Nasdaq-100 Index. DSI, in sub-advising the
Nasdaq-100  Fund,  uses its  proprietary  enhanced Nasdaq 100 strategy (the "DSI
Proprietary Strategy"),  which consists of an adaptive stock ranking model and a
portfolio  construction  model.  DSI applies this  proprietary  strategy ranking
model to the stocks in the  Nasdaq-100  Index.  The  Nasdaq-100  Fund  generally
overweights  stocks that are ranked  positively  by the DSI ranking  model,  and
underweights stocks that are ranked negatively by the ranking model.

     By contrast,  in actively  managing the Small Cap Fund,  UBS Global AM (New
York) uses a small cap growth  investment  process that identifies a universe of
companies within the Fund's capitalization range, and employs proprietary models
to rank the companies on their performance  prospects.  UBS Global AM (New York)
then performs fundamental research on companies determined to be favorable under
its proprietary models in order to construct the Small Cap Fund's portfolio.

     Another  difference  between the Funds is their  classification  concerning
diversification.  As a  diversified  fund,  the Small Cap Fund  adheres  to more
stringent  requirements as to the percentage of assets it is permitted to invest
in the securities of a single issuer than does the Nasdaq-100  Fund,  which is a
non-diversified fund.

     For further information about the investment objectives and policies of the
Funds, see "COMPARISON OF INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES."

How do the principal  risks of investing in the  Nasdaq-100  Fund compare to the
principal risks of investing in the Small Cap Fund?

     As with most investments, an investment in the Nasdaq-100 Fund or the Small
Cap Fund involves risks. There can be no guarantee against losses resulting from
an  investment in either Fund,  nor can there be any assurance  that a Fund will
achieve its investment objective. Certain risks associated with an investment in
each Fund are similar,  and include  those risks  associated  with  investing in
equity securities, fluctuations in the securities markets, foreign investing and
engaging in derivative transactions.

     However,  the risks of investing in each Fund also differ. An investment in
the Nasdaq-100 Fund is subject to the risks  associated with the DSI Proprietary
Strategy of overweighting some stocks and underweighting others. If stock prices
do not behave in the manner  anticipated by the DSI  Proprietary  Strategy,  the
Nasdaq-100 Fund could lose more money on  overweighted  stocks or forgo gains on
underweighted  stocks relative to the index,  resulting in lower performance for
the  Fund.  The  Nasdaq-100  Fund  is  subject  to  the  risks  associated  with
concentrating its investments in the stocks of a smaller number of companies and
market sectors (in  particular,  the technology  sector),  whereas the Small Cap
Fund is more diversified across issuers and sectors.  An investment in the Small
Cap Fund,  but not in the  Nasdaq-100  Fund, is subject to the risks  associated
with investments in small companies.

     For further  information  about the risks of  investing  in the Funds,  see
"COMPARISON OF INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES."

Who manages the Funds?

     The  management  of the  business  and affairs of the Small Cap Fund is the
responsibility  of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "UBS Funds  Trustees"
or  "UBS  Funds  Board").  The  UBS  Funds  Trustees  elect  officers,  who  are
responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Small Cap Fund.

     UBS Global AM (Americas) is the  investment  advisor to the Small Cap Fund.
UBS Global AM  (Americas),  a Delaware  corporation  located at One North Wacker
Drive,  Chicago,  Illinois 60606, is an investment  advisor  registered with the
SEC. As of June 30,  2003,  UBS Global AM  (Americas)  had  approximately  $36.6
billion in assets under management. UBS Global AM (New York), the sub-advisor to
the Small Cap Fund, is an investment  management  firm managing,  as of June 30,
2003,  approximately  $12.2 billion in assets. The address of UBS Global AM (New
York) is 51 West 52nd  Street,  New York,  New York  10019-6114.  UBS  Global AM
(Americas)  and UBS  Global  AM (New  York),  along  with  UBS  Global  AM,  the
investment  advisor  to the  Nasdaq-100  Fund  and  the  administrator  for  the
Nasdaq-100  Fund and Small Cap Fund, and DSI, the  sub-advisor to the Nasdaq-100
Fund, are indirect,  wholly owned subsidiaries of UBS AG, and are members of the
UBS Global Asset Management  Division,  which had approximately  $419 billion in
assets  under  management  as of June  30,  2003.  UBS AG is an  internationally
diversified organization headquartered in Zurich,  Switzerland,  with operations
in many areas of the financial services industry.

     Investment  decisions  for the  Small  Cap Fund  are made by an  investment
management  team at UBS  Global  AM (New  York).  No  member  of the  investment
management  team  is  primarily  responsible  for  making   recommendations  for
portfolio purchases by the Small Cap Fund.

     Pursuant  to an  investment  advisory  agreement  relating to the Small Cap
Fund, UBS Global AM (Americas) is entitled to receive from the Small Cap Fund an
investment advisory fee equal, on an annual basis, to 1.00% of the average daily
net assets of the Fund.  UBS Global AM (Americas)  has  contractually  agreed to
waive its fees and/or to reimburse certain expenses so that the Small Cap Fund's
expenses do not exceed  1.40%,  2.15%,  2.15% and 1.15% of the average daily net
assets of its Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y Shares, respectively, during
the Fund's fiscal year ending June 30, 2004.  Thereafter,  the expense limit for
the Small Cap Fund will be reviewed each year, at which time the continuation of
the expense  limit will be  discussed  by UBS Global AM  (Americas)  and the UBS
Funds  Trustees.  The  contractual  fee waiver  agreement also provides that UBS
Global AM  (Americas)  is entitled  to  reimbursement  of fees it waived  and/or
expenses it reimbursed  for a period of three years  following  such fee waivers
and expense  reimbursements,  provided that the  reimbursement  by the Small Cap
Fund of UBS  Global AM  (Americas)  will not cause the total  operating  expense
ratio to exceed any contractual limit in effect for the Small Cap Fund.

     In  addition,  if  the  Merger  is  approved  by  the  shareholders  of the
Nasdaq-100 Fund, it is contemplated that, effective upon the consummation of the
Merger,  the annual investment  advisory fee payable to UBS Global AM (Americas)
by the Small Cap Fund will be reduced from 1.00% to 0.85% of the Fund's  average
daily net assets,  and the investment  advisory  agreement between the Trust and
UBS Global AM (Americas) will be amended accordingly.

     The  management of the business and affairs of the  Nasdaq-100  Fund is the
responsibility  of the Securities Trust Trustees.  The Securities Trust Trustees
elect  officers,  who are  responsible  for  the  day-to-day  operations  of the
Nasdaq-100 Fund.

     UBS Global AM, a Delaware  corporation  located at 51 West 52nd Street, New
York, New York 10019-6114,  is an investment advisor registered with the SEC. As
of June 30, 2003, UBS Global AM had approximately  $70.5 billion in assets under
management.

                                        6






     Pursuant to an investment advisory and administration agreement relating to
the  Nasdaq-100  Fund,  UBS Global AM is entitled to receive from the Nasdaq-100
Fund a fee for advisory and  administrative  services equal, on an annual basis,
to 0.75% of the  average  daily  net  assets  of the  Fund.  UBS  Global  AM has
contractually  agreed to waive its fees and/or to reimburse  certain expenses so
that the Nasdaq-100 Fund's expenses do not exceed 1.28%,  2.03%, 2.03% and 1.03%
of the  average  daily net  assets of its Class A,  Class B, Class C and Class Y
Shares,  respectively,  through  January 31, 2004.  After January 31, 2004,  the
expense limit for the Nasdaq-100  Fund will be reviewed each year, at which time
the Securities  Trust Board will discuss with UBS Global AM the  continuation of
the expense limit.  The contractual fee waiver  agreement also provides that the
Nasdaq-100  Fund will reimburse UBS Global AM for fees it waived and/or expenses
it reimbursed for the Nasdaq-100 Fund for a period of three years following such
fee waivers and expense  reimbursements,  as long as the Fund's reimbursement of
UBS Global AM will not cause the Fund's total operating  expense ratio to exceed
any contractual expense limit in effect for the Nasdaq-100 Fund.

     Since the inception of the Nasdaq-100  Fund, UBS Global AM has retained the
services of DSI to serve as the  sub-advisor  of the Fund and to be  responsible
for the  day-to-day  management of the  Nasdaq-100  Fund's  portfolio.  DSI is a
registered  investment advisor whose offices are located at 400 Atlantic Street,
5th  Floor,  Stamford,   Connecticut  06901.  As  of  June  30,  2003,  DSI  had
approximately  $5.8  billion  in assets  under  management.  DSI has used a team
approach in its quantitative management of the Nasdaq-100 Fund's portfolio.

     If the Merger is approved,  the team at UBS Global AM (New York)  currently
managing the Small Cap Fund will continue to manage the combined  fund. DSI will
have no role in managing the combined fund.

What are the fees and  expenses  of each Fund and what  might  they be after the
Merger?

     The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you
buy and hold shares of the Funds.  The sales charge  structures of the Funds are
identical.  The operating  expenses shown for the  Nasdaq-100  Fund are based on
expenses  incurred during the Nasdaq-100 Fund's fiscal year ending September 30,
2002. The operating expenses shown for the Small Cap Fund Class A Shares,  Small
Cap Fund Class B Shares, Small Cap Fund Class C Shares, and Small Cap Fund Class
Y Shares, before and after the Merger, are based on expenses incurred during the
Small Cap Fund's most recent fiscal year ending June 30, 2003.

         Examples:

     The  following  Examples  are  intended  to help  you  compare  the cost of
investing  in the  Nasdaq-100  Fund with the cost of  investing in the Small Cap
Fund.  The  Examples  assume  that you invest  $10,000 in each Fund for the time
periods  indicated  and  then  redeem  all of your  shares  at the end of  those
periods, unless otherwise stated. Each Example also assumes that your investment
has a 5% return each  year./1/  These are examples  only,  and do not  represent
future expenses, which may be greater or less than those shown below.

What are other key features of the Funds?

     Administrative,  Transfer  Agency,  Accounting  and Custody  Services.  UBS
Global  AM  serves  as the  administrator  to both  the  Small  Cap Fund and the
Nasdaq-100 Fund. As administrator, UBS Global AM provides various administrative
services to the Funds.  For the Nasdaq-100  Fund, these services are included in
the fee that the Fund pays pursuant to its investment  advisory  agreement.  For
the Small Cap Fund, UBS Global AM is responsible for  administering  the affairs
of the Small Cap Fund,  including  supervising  and  managing all aspects of the
Fund's  operations  (other than investment  advisory  activities)  pursuant to a
separate administration  contract.  Under the administration contract, the Small
Cap Fund pays UBS Global AM a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at an annual
rate of  0.075% of the  average  daily  net  assets of the Small Cap Fund.  J.P.
Morgan Investor Services Company,  a corporate  affiliate of JPMorgan Chase Bank
("JPMorgan  Chase"),  provides  accounting,   portfolio  valuation  and  certain
administrative  services to the Small Cap Fund  pursuant to a Multiple  Services
Agreement between the Trust and JPMorgan Chase.

     PFPC Inc. is the transfer agent and dividend  disbursing agent for both the
Small Cap Fund and the  Nasdaq-100  Fund.  PFPC Inc., a subsidiary  of PNC Bank,
N.A., is located at 760 Moore Road, King of Prussia, PA 19406.

     JPMorgan  Chase is the custodian of the  securities and other assets of the
Small Cap Fund. JPMorgan Chase is located at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York
10017.  State Street Bank and Trust  Company,  located at 1776  Heritage  Drive,
North Quincy,  Massachusetts  02171,  serves as the custodian and  recordkeeping
agent for the Nasdaq-100 Fund.

     Distribution  Services  and Rule 12b-1  Plans.  The UBS Funds  Trustees and
Securities  Trust  Trustees  have each  appointed  UBS Global AM to serve as the
principal  underwriter  of the shares of each class of the Funds.  UBS Global AM
offers the shares of the Small Cap Fund and the shares of the Nasdaq-100 Fund on
a  best-efforts  basis  pursuant to separate  principal  underwriting  contracts
between UBS Global AM and the Trust, and UBS Global AM and the Securities Trust,
respectively.  In addition to its services in  distributing  shares of the Small
Cap Fund and Nasdaq-100  Fund, UBS Global AM also provides  ongoing  shareholder
services  to each  Fund.  UBS  Global AM is  authorized,  under  each  principal
underwriting contract, to enter into dealer agreements with other broker-dealers
(affiliated  and  non-affiliated)  with  respect  to  sales  of  shares  of  the
respective  Fund or in connection  with the  provision of service  activities (a
"Qualified Dealer").  UBS Global AM markets shares of the Small Cap Fund and the
Nasdaq-100 Fund directly or through Qualified Dealers.  With respect to both the
Small Cap Fund and the  Nasdaq-100  Fund,  when UBS Global AM  receives  service
fees,  distribution  fees or  sales  charges,  it may pay some or all of them to
Qualified Dealers.

     Rule 12b-1 Plans.  Each of the Small Cap Fund and the  Nasdaq-100  Fund has
adopted separate  shareholder  service and/or  distribution plans or "Rule 12b-1
Plans"  for the  Fund's  Class A Shares (a  "Class A  Plan"),  Class B Shares (a
"Class B  Plan")  and  Class C Shares  (a  "Class  C Plan")  (collectively,  the
"Plans").  Under the Plans of each Fund,  UBS Global AM is entitled to receive a
service fee, accrued daily and payable  monthly,  at the annual rate of 0.25% of
the average daily net assets of each class of shares of each Fund. UBS Global AM
uses the service  fees it receives  to  compensate  dealers and others for their
expenses  in  connection  with  providing  shareholder  services  for the Funds,
including the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

                                        11





     In addition to the service fees, the Small Cap Fund and the Nasdaq-100 Fund
pay distribution  fees to UBS Global AM pursuant to each Fund's Class B Plan and
Class C Plan. The  distribution  fees are paid to UBS Global AM for its services
and expenses in  distributing  and promoting  Class B and Class C Shares.  These
expenses may include,  among others, the preparation,  printing and distribution
of  advertisements   and  sales  literature  for  prospective   investors;   the
distribution of prospectuses and other shareholder materials for sales purposes;
the  payment of  distribution  fees to  broker-dealers  that  enter into  dealer
agreements  with UBS Global AM; and the payment of other  expenses  allocated to
UBS Global AM's distribution activities. The distribution fees payable under the
Class B Plans and Class C Plans for the Funds may also be used to pay UBS Global
AM for  advancing  the  commission  costs to dealers with respect to the initial
sale of such shares.

     Under  its Class B Plan and  Class C Plan,  each Fund pays UBS  Global AM a
distribution fee, accrued daily and payable monthly,  at an annual rate of 0.75%
of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Class B Shares and Class C Shares,
respectively.

     Because  12b-1  fees are paid out of the  assets of a class of a Fund on an
on-going  basis,  over time these fees will increase the cost of a shareholder's
investment  and may cost the  shareholder  more than paying other types of sales
charges.

     Small Cap Fund  Class Y Shares  and  Nasdaq-100  Fund Class Y Shares do not
have Rule 12b-1 Plans.

     Purchase, Exchange and Redemption Procedures.  Procedures for the purchase,
exchange and redemption of shares of the Nasdaq-100  Fund and the Small Cap Fund
are similar. You may refer to the Nasdaq-100 Fund Prospectus,  and the Small Cap
Fund Prospectus,  which  accompanies this  Prospectus/Proxy  Statement,  for the
purchase,  exchange,  and  redemption  procedures  applicable to the  purchases,
exchanges and  redemptions of shares of the Nasdaq-100  Fund and Small Cap Fund,
respectively.  Set forth  below is a brief  description  of the basic  purchase,
exchange,  and redemption  procedures applicable to the shares of each Fund. The
shareholders  of the Nasdaq-100  Fund will not be subject to any front-end sales
charges described below in connection with the Merger.

     Shares of each Fund may be purchased  directly  from the Fund by contacting
its transfer agent, or through brokers,  dealers, other financial intermediaries
and financial  institutions  (banks and bank trust  departments) that have sales
agreements  with  the  Fund  (each  an  "Authorized   Dealer"),  or  through  an
intermediary   designated  by  an  Authorized  Dealer  to  accept  purchase  and
redemption orders  ("Sub-Designee").  Authorized  Dealers may charge transaction
fees for their  services in  connection  with the  purchase of shares of a Fund.
These  transaction  fees are not charged on shares  purchased  directly from the
Fund.

     Only specific  types of investors  are eligible to purchase  Small Cap Fund
Class Y Shares and  Nasdaq-100  Fund Class Y Shares.  You may refer to the Small
Cap Fund Prospectus,  which accompanies this Prospectus/Proxy Statement, and the
Nasdaq-100  Fund  Prospectus,  for more  information  concerning the eligibility
requirements for purchasing Class Y Shares of the Funds.

     The minimum  initial  investment for each class of the Nasdaq-100  Fund and
Small Cap Fund Class A Shares,  Small Cap Fund Class B Shares and Small Cap Fund
Class C Shares is $1,000, and each subsequent investment must be at least $100.

     Purchases of Class A Shares of each Fund are subject to a maximum front-end
sales charge of 5.50% of the offering  price,  with  reduced  sales  charges for
purchases of $50,000 or more, and no front-end sales charge imposed on purchases
of $1,000,000 or more. Purchases of $1,000,000 or more of Class A Shares of each
Fund,  however,  are subject to a contingent  deferred sales charge  ("CDSC") of
1.00% for shares redeemed within one year after purchase.

                                        12





     Purchases  of Class B Shares of each Fund are not subject to a sales charge
on purchases, but are subject to a CDSC when shares are sold before the end of a
specified period.  Sales of Class B Shares of each Fund are subject to a CDSC as
shown in the table below:

                            Percentage (based on amount of investment) by which the shares' net
                                                asset value is multiplied:

                               Less than        $100,000 to       $250,000 to      $500,000 to

     The CDSC for the Class B Shares of each Fund is calculated  by  multiplying
the lesser of the net asset  value of the shares at the time of  purchase or the
net asset value at the time of sale by the  applicable  percentage  shown in the
table  above.  Class B Shares of each Fund  automatically  convert to the Fund's
Class A Shares,  which have lower ongoing  expenses,  after the end of the sixth
year for purchases of less than  $100,000,  after the end of the fourth year for
purchases  of at least  $100,000  but less than  $250,000,  after the end of the
third year for purchases of at least $250,000 but less than $500,000,  and after
the end of the second year for  purchases of at least  $500,000 but less than $1
million.

     Regardless of the amount of the investment,  Class B Shares of Family Funds
("Family  Funds" include other UBS Funds,  UBS PACE Select funds and other funds
for which UBS Global AM serves as principal  underwriter)  purchased or acquired
prior to  November  5,  2001 and  exchanged  (including  exchanges  as part of a
reorganization,  such as the Merger)  for shares of the Funds after  November 5,
2001  (collectively,  "Prior  Class B Shares")  are subject to a deferred  sales
charge at the time of redemption at the following percentages: (i) 5%, if shares
are sold  within  the first  year  since  purchase;  (ii) 4%, if shares are sold
within the second year since  purchase;  (iii) 3%, if shares are sold within the
third year  since  purchase;  (iv) 2%, if shares  are sold  within the fourth or
fifth year since purchase;  and (v) 1%, if shares are sold within the sixth year
of purchase.  Prior Class B Shares held longer than six years are not subject to
a deferred sales charge and automatically  convert to Class A Shares, which have
lower ongoing expenses.  Shareholders who purchased or acquired  Nasdaq-100 Fund
Class B Shares prior to November 5, 2001,  will receive  Prior Class B Shares of
the Small Cap Fund in the Merger.

     As of the date of this  Prospectus/Proxy  Statement,  the Class C Shares of
each Fund are subject to a front-end sales charge of 1.00% of the offering price
and a CDSC of 1.00% of the shares' net asset value if the shares are sold within
one year of purchase. However, effective September 30, 2003, the 1.00% front-end
sales charge imposed on Class C Shares of the Small Cap Fund will be eliminated.
The CDSC for each Fund's Class C Shares is calculated by multiplying  the lesser
of the net asset  value of the shares at the time of  purchase  or the net asset
value at the time of sale by 1.00%.

     Each Fund may reduce or waive its sales  charges for certain  investors and
transactions  in the Fund's  shares.  For a complete  description of each Fund's
sales charges and the  exemptions  from such charges,  please refer to the Small
Cap Fund Prospectus,  which accompanies this Prospectus/Proxy Statement, and the
Statement of Additional Information relating to this Prospectus/Proxy Statement,
as well as the Nasdaq-100  Fund  Prospectus  and Nasdaq-100  Fund SAI. Small Cap
Fund Class Y Shares  and  Nasdaq-100  Fund  Class Y Shares are not  subject to a
front-end sales charge or a CDSC.

                                        13






     The  purchase  price of shares  of each  Fund is based on net  asset  value
("NAV"),  plus any applicable sales charge.  The NAV per share for each class of
each Fund is calculated as of the close of regular trading (generally, 4:00 p.m.
Eastern  time) on each day that the New York Stock  Exchange  ("NYSE")  is open.
Purchase  orders for shares of each Fund  received  in good form by the close of
regular  trading on the NYSE are priced  according to the NAV determined on that
day;  otherwise,  they are priced  according  to the next  determined  price per
share. Each Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase request.

     Shares of each class of each Fund,  except the Class Y Shares of each Fund,
may be  exchanged  for  shares of the same  class of most  other  Family  Funds.
Exchanges in shares of both Funds are subject to the initial minimum  investment
requirements  to the same extent as purchases of the shares.  Exchanges  are not
subject to any sales charges at the time of the exchange.  Exchanges are treated
as  a  redemption  and  new  purchase  for  federal  income  tax  purposes,  and
accordingly, may have tax consequences for shareholders.

     Shares of each  class of each Fund may be  redeemed  at any time at the NAV
(minus any applicable  sales charge) next calculated after the Fund receives the
redemption order in good form. Shareholders of each Fund can redeem their shares
by  contacting  the  Fund's  transfer  agent or, if  shares  are held  through a
financial institution, by contacting the shareholders' investment professionals,
an Authorized  Dealer or a Sub-Designee.  Each  institution or professional  may
have its own procedures and requirements for selling shares of the Funds and may
charge fees.

     Dividends,  Distributions  and Taxes.  Each Fund normally declares and pays
income dividends and distributes any realized gains annually. Both the Small Cap
Fund and the Nasdaq-100 Fund automatically  reinvest distributions in additional
shares of the same class of that  Fund,  unless  the Fund is  notified  that the
shareholder elects to receive such distributions in cash.

     Distributions from both the Small Cap Fund and the Nasdaq-100 Fund, whether
received in cash or in additional  shares,  are generally subject to income tax,
unless the shares are held in a tax-exempt or tax deferred account.  In general,
distributions from either Fund are taxable to the shareholder as either ordinary
income or capital  gains.  Both the Small Cap Fund and  Nasdaq-100  Fund  notify
their  shareholders   annually  of  the  source  and  tax  status  of  all  Fund
distributions  for federal income tax purposes.  For more information  about the
tax  implications of investments in the Small Cap Fund and the Nasdaq-100  Fund,
see the Small  Cap Fund  Prospectus,  which  accompanies  this  Prospectus/Proxy
Statement,  the Nasdaq-100  Fund  Prospectus,  the Nasdaq-100  Fund SAI, and the
Statement of Additional Information relating to this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

                             REASONS FOR THE MERGER

     UBS  Global  AM has  reviewed  its  mutual  funds and  determined  that the
Nasdaq-100 Fund, which is managed based on the enhanced indexing strategy of its
sub-advisor,  DSI, is unlikely to attract  additional assets and is not a viable
investment  product,  given the Nasdaq-100 Fund's current asset size. UBS Global
AM has reimbursed  the  Nasdaq-100  Fund for a portion of its expenses since the
Fund's  inception,  and UBS Global AM currently  is  obligated to continue  this
expense  waiver until  January,  31, 2004.  UBS Global AM may  determine  not to
continue the expense waiver for the  Nasdaq-100  Fund after January 31, 2004. In
addition,  UBS Global AM has recently  determined to focus primarily on its core
investment capabilities, which will no longer include enhanced indexing products
such as the Nasdaq-100 Fund.

     In addition, UBS Global Asset Management has decided to organize into three
distinct global investment  platforms:  Core Asset  Management,  Alternative and
Quantitative  Investments  ("AQI") and Real Estate.  DSI will be integrated into
the AQI  platform,  which  will  enable  DSI to  manage  alternative  investment
products, such as hedge funds. Due to certain compliance implications, including
possible  conflicts of interest  that may arise if DSI were to manage both hedge
funds and mutual funds, DSI has decided to cease managing mutual funds.

                                        14






     For the reasons  described  above,  the Agreement and Plan was presented to
the Securities Trust Trustees for their consideration,  and the Securities Trust
Board,  on behalf of the Nasdaq-100  Fund,  determined,  as described  below, to
recommend that shareholders of the Nasdaq-100 Fund approve the Merger.

     In  conjunction  with the  presentation  of the  Agreement  and  Plan,  the
Securities  Trust  Trustees,  on behalf of the Nasdaq-100  Fund,  questioned UBS
Global  AM  about  the  potential  benefits  and  costs  of  the  Merger  to the
shareholders of the Nasdaq-100 Fund. In deciding  whether to recommend  approval
of the Merger to shareholders of the Nasdaq-100 Fund, the Securities Trust Board
considered a number of factors.  The  Securities  Trust  Trustees did not assign
relative weights to the factors or deem any one of them to be controlling in and
of itself. The factors included the following:

     o    The  Small  Cap  Fund  has  a  broader  investment  mandate  than  the
          Nasdaq-100  Fund,  and is not  confined to  purchasing  securities  of
          companies represented in a particular securities index.

     o    The perceived volatility of a small cap growth fund, such as the Small
          Cap Fund, is similar to the perceived  volatility of a Nasdaq-oriented
          fund, such as the Nasdaq-100 Fund.

     o    Because  of  the  Nasdaq-100   Fund's   relatively  small  asset  base
          (approximately  $34  million),  UBS Global AM does not believe that it
          would be able to attract another  sub-advisor to manage the Nasdaq-100
          Fund with an enhanced  proprietary  strategy.  Absent such a strategy,
          the Nasdaq-100 Fund would not be viable on a long-term basis.

     o    Nasdaq-100 Fund shareholders,  following the Merger,  will invest in a
          Fund that is managed  according  to UBS Global AM's  experienced  U.S.
          small cap growth equity investment strategy.

     o    Nasdaq-100 Fund  shareholders will not pay a front-end sales charge to
          become  shareholders  of the  Small  Cap Fund in  connection  with the
          Merger.

     o    UBS Global AM will bear all expenses  incurred in connection  with the
          Merger.

     o    A  taxable  Merger  will  not be  adverse  to  the  vast  majority  of
          Nasdaq-100  Fund  shareholders  because  of  the  accumulated  deficit
          (consisting  of accumulated  capital and other losses,  and unrealized
          depreciation of investments) experienced by the Nasdaq-100 Fund in its
          holdings  since the Fund's  inception  in  calendar  year  2000;  as a
          result, Nasdaq-100 Fund shareholders who have experienced a decline in
          the net asset value of their Fund shares may  recognize a taxable loss
          on the  exchange  of their  Nasdaq-100  Fund shares for Small Cap Fund
          shares.  Based on the records of the Fund's transfer agent, as of June
          30, 2003, the vast majority of the Nasdaq-100 Fund shareholders  owned
          their  shares at a loss.  As a result,  UBS  Global AM  believes  that
          relatively few  shareholders  of the Nasdaq-100  Fund will recognize a
          gain because of the Merger (based upon current net asset values).

     o    Because  the  proposed  Merger  will be  effected  on the basis of the
          relative net asset values of the Funds, shareholders of the Nasdaq-100
          Fund  will  not   experience  any  dilution  in  the  value  of  their
          investments as a result of the Merger.

     o    If the Merger is approved by  shareholders  of the Nasdaq-100 Fund and
          the  Merger  of the  Funds is  consummated,  the  shareholders  of the
          Nasdaq-100 Fund will become shareholders of the Small Cap Fund.

     o    For a period of one year  following  the  closing of the  Merger,  the
          expense ratio of each class of shares of the Small Cap Fund will be no
          higher than the expense ratio of the corresponding  class

                                        15





          of shares of the Nasdaq-100  Fund. This is due to the agreement of UBS
          Global AM (Americas) to waive a portion of its advisory fees.

     o    If the Merger is approved by shareholders  of the Nasdaq-100  Fund, it
          is contemplated that the investment advisory fee payable to UBS Global
          AM (Americas) by the Small Cap Fund will be contractually reduced from
          1.00%  to  0.85%  of  the  Fund's   average   daily  net  assets  upon
          consummation of the Merger.

     o    As  shareholders of the Small Cap Fund,  Nasdaq-100 Fund  shareholders
          would   continue   to  benefit   from  the  same   high-quality   fund
          administration and shareholder services as they currently enjoy.

     o    The  combined  Fund will have a larger asset base and may benefit from
          economies of scale and any  corresponding  reduction in expenses  that
          result from such larger asset base.

     o    The  Small  Cap Fund  may be  better  positioned  to  attract  assets,
          following  the Merger,  than the  Nasdaq-100  Fund would be absent the
          reorganization.

     The Securities  Trust Board also  considered  that the  Nasdaq-100  Fund is
required  by its  prospectus  to invest in the stocks  listed in the  Nasdaq-100
Index. DSI thus has somewhat limited flexibility in making investment  decisions
for the Nasdaq-100 Fund, as compared to the broader  investment  mandate for UBS
Global AM (New York) in managing the Small Cap Fund. Furthermore, the Nasdaq-100
Fund is non-diversified  (unlike the Small Cap Fund, which is diversified),  and
the Nasdaq-100 Fund has a sizable  investment  concentration in companies in the
technology sector.

     The Securities Trust Trustees,  on behalf of the Nasdaq-100 Fund, concluded
that the Merger is in the best interests of the  shareholders  of the Nasdaq-100
Fund and that no  dilution  of value would  result for the  shareholders  of the
Nasdaq-100 Fund from the Merger. The Securities Trust Trustees believed that the
Merger  will  permit  shareholders  of  the  Nasdaq-100  Fund  to  pursue  their
investment goals in a larger portfolio without diluting shareholders' interests.
The  Securities  Trust  Board,  including  a majority  of the  Securities  Trust
Trustees who are not interested persons of the Securities Trust, then decided to
approve  the  Agreement  and  Plan and to  recommend  that  shareholders  of the
Nasdaq-100 Fund vote to approve the Merger.

     The UBS Funds  Trustees,  on behalf of the Small Cap Fund,  also determined
that  the  Merger  was in the  best  interests  of the  Small  Cap  Fund and its
shareholders and that no dilution of value would result to those shareholders.

     For the reasons discussed above, the Securities Trust Board, on behalf
  of the Nasdaq-100 Fund, recommends that you vote FOR the Agreement and Plan.

     If the shareholders of the Nasdaq-100 Fund do not approve the Agreement and
Plan,  the Merger will not take place,  and the  Securities  Trust  Trustees may
consider other possible courses of action, including liquidation and dissolution
of the Nasdaq-100 Fund.

                          INFORMATION ABOUT THE MERGER

     This  information  is only a summary of the Agreement and Plan.  You should
read the actual Agreement and Plan. It is attached as Exhibit A and incorporated
herein by reference.

How will the Merger be carried out?

     If the  shareholders of the Nasdaq-100 Fund approve the Agreement and Plan,
the  Merger  will take place  after  various  conditions  are  satisfied  by the
Securities  Trust, on behalf of the Nasdaq-100 Fund, and

                                        16





by the Trust, on behalf of the Small Cap Fund, including the delivery of certain
documents.  The  Securities  Trust and the Trust will agree on the specific date
for the actual Merger to take place (the "Closing").

     If the  shareholders of the Nasdaq-100 Fund approve the Agreement and Plan,
it is  expected  that  the  Nasdaq-100  Fund  would  liquidate  all its  current
holdings.  The Nasdaq-100 Fund will deliver to the Small Cap Fund  substantially
all of its assets (which will consist of cash),  subject to its liabilities,  at
the Closing.  In exchange,  the  Securities  Trust,  on behalf of the Nasdaq-100
Fund, will receive Small Cap Fund Class A Shares, Small Cap Fund Class B Shares,
Small  Cap  Fund  Class C  Shares  and  Small  Cap Fund  Class Y  Shares,  to be
distributed  pro  rata  by  the  Nasdaq-100  Fund  to  its  shareholders  in the
corresponding classes, in complete liquidation and dissolution of the Nasdaq-100
Fund.  The value of the assets of the  Nasdaq-100  Fund to be  delivered  to the
Small Cap Fund shall be the value of such net assets computed as of the close of
business of the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the last business day
prior to the Closing (the "Valuation Date").

     The stock transfer books of the Nasdaq-100 Fund will be permanently  closed
as of  the  Valuation  Date.  The  Nasdaq-100  Fund  will  accept  requests  for
redemption only if received in proper form before that time.  Requests  received
after that time will be  considered  requests to redeem  shares of the Small Cap
Fund.

     To the extent  permitted  by law,  the  Securities  Trust and the Trust may
agree to amend the Agreement  and Plan without  shareholder  approval.  They may
also agree to  terminate  and abandon the Merger at any time  before,  or to the
extent  permitted by law, after the approval of  shareholders  of the Nasdaq-100
Fund.

Who will pay the expenses of the Merger?

     UBS Global AM will pay all expenses incurred in connection with the Merger.

What are the tax consequences of the Merger?

     For federal income tax purposes,  it is expected that the reorganization of
the Nasdaq-100 Fund will not qualify for "tax-free" treatment under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986,  as amended (the "Code").  This is because the  Nasdaq-100
Fund expects to liquidate  all of its current  holdings and transfer cash to the
Small  Cap  Fund in  connection  with  the  Merger,  as well as  because  of the
significant  differences in the Funds'  investment  objectives and the manner in
which each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective.

     Therefore,  the Merger will be treated under the Code as if the  Nasdaq-100
Fund  sold its  current  holdings  for cash and then  used the cash to  purchase
shares of the Small Cap Fund,  followed by a liquidation of the Nasdaq-100  Fund
in which the shareholders of the Nasdaq-100 Fund are treated as exchanging their
shares  in the  Nasdaq-100  Fund for  shares  in the Small Cap Fund in a taxable
transaction.  For the  shareholders of the Nasdaq-100 Fund who hold their shares
in  tax-advantaged  accounts,  such as retirement plans, the Merger will have no
immediate tax  consequence.  Shareholders  who are subject to federal income tax
may  recognize  a gain or loss as a result of the Merger on the  exchange of the
Nasdaq-100 Fund shares for Small Cap Fund shares.  Any such gain or loss will be
equal to the difference between the basis of the Nasdaq-100 Fund shareholders in
their  Nasdaq-100  Fund shares and the fair  market  value of the Small Cap Fund
shares they receive in the Merger.

     The capital loss  carryovers of the Nasdaq-100  Fund that are not otherwise
utilized to offset any gains on the sale by the  Nasdaq-100  Fund of its current
holdings, prior to the Merger, will expire and not be available to the Small Cap
Fund. As a result, it is expected that a significant portion of the capital loss
carryovers of the Nasdaq-100  Fund,  which might otherwise have been utilized to
offset future capital gains, will expire unutilized. At September 30, 2002, on a
tax basis, the Nasdaq-100 Fund had unrealized  depreciation of investments equal
to $51,740,540  and capital losses that expire as follows:  $365,067  (2009)

                                        17





and  $19,411,471   (2010).  In  addition,   in  accordance  with  U.S.  Treasury
Regulations,  the  Nasdaq-100  Fund elected to defer  $20,907,725 of net capital
losses  arising  after  October 31, 2001,  which are treated for tax purposes as
arising on October 1, 2002. In total,  the Nasdaq-100  Fund had, as of September
30, 2002, a tax basis accumulated  deficit of $92,424,803,  which, to the extent
not  utilized  to offset  any  gains on sale of  current  holdings  prior to the
Merger,  will go unutilized.  However, to the extent that accumulated deficit is
reflected in the net asset value of the shares presently held by shareholders of
the Nasdaq-100 Fund,  taxable  shareholders will likely recognize a taxable loss
on the liquidation of the Nasdaq-100 Fund.

     Shareholders of the Nasdaq-100  Fund may recognize  taxable gains or losses
if they redeem or exchange their shares of the Nasdaq-100 Fund before the Merger
or redeem or exchange their Small Cap Fund shares after the Merger. Shareholders
generally  will be liable for any taxes that are  associated  with  periodic  or
special distributions that occur prior to or after the reorganization, including
any distributions of realized gains from sales of portfolio securities.  In that
regard,  it is presently  expected that the Nasdaq-100  Fund would liquidate its
current  holdings and transfer cash to the Small Cap Fund in connection with the
Merger.  Please  note that  retirement  plans and  accounts  are  generally  not
affected by such tax consequences,  although  distributions  from  tax-qualified
plans are not exempt from tax consequences.

     You should consult your tax advisor  regarding the effect of the Merger, if
any, in light of your individual circumstances. You should also consult your tax
advisor  about  the state and local  tax  consequences  of the  Merger,  if any,
because this discussion only relates to the federal income tax consequences.

What should I know about the Small Cap Fund Shares?

     If the Merger is approved, full and fractional shares of the Small Cap Fund
will be issued without the  imposition of a front-end  sales charge or other fee
to  shareholders  of the  Nasdaq-100  Fund in  accordance  with  the  procedures
described above. When issued, each share will be duly and validly issued,  fully
paid, nonassessable and fully transferable. All shares have noncumulative voting
rights.  This gives holders of more than 50% of the shares voting the ability to
elect all of the members of the Board of Trustees of the Trust. If this happens,
holders of the remaining shares voting will not be able to elect any trustees.

     A shareholder of a class of shares of the Small Cap Fund will receive a pro
rata  share of all  distributions  arising  from the  Small  Cap  Fund's  assets
attributable to the class of shares owned by the shareholder, and upon redeeming
shares, will receive the portion of the Small Cap Fund's net assets attributable
to the class of shares  owned by the  shareholder  represented  by the  redeemed
shares.

     The  shares of the Small Cap Fund will be  recorded  to each  shareholder's
account on the books of the Small Cap Fund's transfer agent.  The Small Cap Fund
does not issue share certificates.

How do shareholder rights and obligations of the Funds compare?

     While  the Trust  and the  Securities  Trust  are  separate  entities,  and
governed  by  different  organizational   documents,  both  the  Trust  and  the
Securities  Trust are  organized  under the laws of the State of  Delaware,  and
shareholders of the Nasdaq-100 Fund will not experience a material  reduction in
their shareholder rights as a result of the Merger.

     Each  Trust is  organized  as a  Delaware  statutory  trust.  The  Trust is
governed by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the "Trust Agreement"). Under
the Trust Agreement,  the Trust has an unlimited number of authorized  shares of
beneficial interest, with each share having a par value of $0.001 per share. The
Securities  Trust is governed by an Amended and Restated Trust  Instrument  (the
"Trust Instrument").

                                        18





Pursuant to the Trust  Instrument,  the Securities Trust has an unlimited number
of authorized shares of beneficial interest,  with each share having a par value
of $0.001 per share.  The UBS Funds Trustees and the  Securities  Trust Trustees
(together,   the  "Boards")  may,  without  shareholder  approval,   divide  the
authorized  shares of the applicable  trust into an unlimited number of separate
portfolios  or series  ("series").  The  Boards  may also,  without  shareholder
approval,  divide the  series  into two or more  classes  of  shares.  The Trust
currently consists of fifteen series,  including the Small Cap Fund. Each series
of the  Trust,  including  the Small Cap Fund,  offers  four  classes  of shares
(designated Class A Shares,  Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class Y Shares).
The Securities Trust currently consists of two series,  including the Nasdaq-100
Fund.  The  Nasdaq-100  Fund offers four classes of shares  (designated  Class A
Shares,  Class B Shares,  Class C Shares and Class Y Shares). The Trust and each
series of the Trust,  as well as the Securities  Trust and each series  thereof,
including the Nasdaq-100 Fund, will continue indefinitely until terminated.

     With respect to a series of shares of the Trust and the  Securities  Trust,
shares of the same class  have equal  dividend,  distribution,  liquidation  and
voting rights, and fractional shares have proportionate  rights.  Each series or
class bears its own expenses  related to its  distribution  of shares (and other
expenses,  such as  transfer  agency,  shareholder  service  and  administration
expenses). Generally, shares of the Trust and the Securities Trust will be voted
in the aggregate  without  differentiation  between  separate series or classes;
provided however that, if a matter only affects certain series or classes,  then
only shares of the affected  series or classes shall be voted in the  aggregate.
Shares of the Securities Trust generally are voted by individual series, except:
(i) when  required  by the 1940  Act to be  voted  in the  aggregate  and not by
individual  series;  and (ii) when the Securities Trust Trustees have determined
that the matter affects only the interests of one or more classes, then only the
shareholders of the affected classes shall be entitled to vote.

     Under the Trust  Agreement  and the Trust  Instrument,  as well as relevant
state  law,  annual  meetings  of  shareholders  are not  required  to be  held.
Generally, each trust calls shareholder meetings only when specifically required
by federal law or by the law of its jurisdiction of  organization.  Shareholders
representing  one-tenth (10%) or more of the outstanding shares entitled to vote
on a matter may cause each trust to call a shareholder meeting.  With respect to
the Trust,  a shareholder  meeting is not required to be called upon the request
of  shareholders  entitled to cast less than a majority of all votes entitled to
be cast at such meeting to consider any matter that is substantially the same as
a matter voted on at any  shareholder  meeting held during the preceding  twelve
months.

     Under  Delaware  law and the Trust's  Trust  Agreement  and the  Securities
Trust's Trust Instrument,  shareholders of the Small Cap Fund and the Nasdaq-100
Fund,  respectively,  are not held personally  liable for the obligations of the
Trust, the Small Cap Fund, the Securities Trust or the Nasdaq-100 Fund.

What are the assets of the Funds and what might the  capitalization be after the
Merger?

     The  following  table sets forth,  as of June 30,  2003,  the assets of the
Small Cap Fund and the Nasdaq-100 Fund, and the estimated  capitalization of the
Small Cap Fund as  adjusted  to give effect to the  proposed  Merger.  The final
capitalization  of the Small Cap Fund is likely to be different  when the Merger
is consummated.

ADDITIONAL  INFORMATION ABOUT THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES OF THE SMALL
CAP FUND

     The  investment  objective  of the Small Cap Fund is to  provide  long-term
capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the Small Cap Fund invests
at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes, if any)
in  equity   securities   of  U.S.   small   capitalization   companies.   Small
capitalization companies are those companies with market capitalizations ranging
from $100 million to $2.5 billion at the time of purchase.  The Small Cap Fund's
investments  in equity  securities may include  common stock,  preferred  stock,
securities  such as warrants or rights,  and sponsored or unsponsored  American,
European and Global depositary receipts. The Small Cap Fund may invest up to 20%
of its net assets in foreign securities. The Small Cap Fund also may (but is not
required  to)  use  forward  currency  contracts,  options,  futures  and  other
derivatives  as part of its  investment  strategy  or to help  manage  portfolio
risks.

     In addition to equity securities,  the Small Cap Fund may invest in cash or
cash equivalent  instruments,  including  shares of affiliated and  unaffiliated
money market mutual funds and similar private investment vehicles.  Under normal
circumstances,  the Small Cap Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in cash or
cash equivalent investments. The Small Cap Fund may invest 100% of its assets in
cash or cash equivalents for temporary defensive purposes.

     UBS Global AM (New York) selects  securities of companies for the Small Cap
Fund's portfolio that possess  dominant market positions or franchises,  a major
technical edge, or a unique competitive  advantage.  When selecting  securities,
UBS Global AM (New York)  considers  earnings  revision  trends,  positive stock
price momentum and sales acceleration. The Small Cap Fund may invest in emerging
growth   companies   that  UBS  Global  AM  (New  York)  expects  to  experience
above-average  earnings or cash flow growth or meaningful  changes in underlying
asset  values.  The Small Cap Fund will  invest in  companies  within  the small
capitalization  range described above.  However, the Small Cap Fund may invest a
portion of its assets outside this range.

     The portfolio  turnover rate for the Small Cap Fund may exceed 100%, and in
some years,  150%.  Increased  portfolio turnover may result in higher costs for
brokerage commissions, transaction costs and taxable gains.

                COMPARISON OF INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

     This section  describes the key  investment  policies of the Small Cap Fund
and  the  Nasdaq-100  Fund  and  certain  noteworthy   differences  between  the
investment strategies and policies of the Funds. For a more complete description
of the Small Cap Fund's investment policies and risks, you should read the Small
Cap Fund  Prospectus,  which  accompanies  this  Prospectus/Proxy  Statement  as
Exhibit B.

Are there any  significant  differences  between the  investment  objectives and
policies of the Funds?

     Investment  Objectives and  Investment  Strategies.  There are  significant
differences between the Funds' investment objectives and policies. The Small Cap
Fund's investment  objective is to provide long-term capital  appreciation.  The
Nasdaq-100 Fund's  investment  objective is to seek higher total return over the
long term than the  Nasdaq-100  Index.  While the Funds'  investment  objectives
share  long-term  time horizons,  their goals are different.  The Small Cap Fund
seeks capital  appreciation,  without reference to an explicit index or measure.
The  Nasdaq-100  Fund seeks a level of total return that is greater than that of
the Nasdaq-100 Index, a specific index. Each Fund's investment objective may not
be changed without shareholder approval.

     Unless otherwise stated,  each of the investment policies described in this
Prospectus/Proxy  Statement is a non-fundamental  policy. Policies or investment
restrictions  of a Fund that are  deemed to be  fundamental  may not be  changed
without the approval of the lesser of: (i) a majority of the outstanding  shares
of the Fund;  or (ii) 67% or more of the  shares  represented  at a  meeting  of
shareholders at which the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding  shares of
the Fund are represented. Policies or investment restrictions of a Fund that are
deemed  to be  non-fundamental  may be  changed  by  the  Fund's  Board  without
shareholder approval.

     Each Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in equity securities.
Under normal market  conditions,  the Small Cap Fund invests at least 80% of its
net  assets  (plus  borrowings  for  investment  purposes,  if  any)  in  equity
securities of U.S. small  capitalization  companies.  For these purposes,  small
capitalization companies are those companies with market capitalizations of $2.5
billion  or less at the  time  of  purchase.  Under  normal  circumstances,  the
Nasdaq-100  Fund  invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any
borrowing  for  investment  purposes)  in  common  stocks  issued  by  companies
represented  in the  Nasdaq-100  Index.  As a result of  investing  in companies
represented  in the Nasdaq-100  Index,  the  Nasdaq-100  Fund's equity  holdings
consist  primarily  of large  capitalization  common  stocks of U.S. and foreign
issuers.  As of September 30, 2002,  the average  market  capitalization  of the
Nasdaq-100 Fund's portfolio was $51.4 billion.

     While both Funds principally invest in equity securities, there are several
notable   differences  in  their   investment   policies.   First,   the  market
capitalization ranges of the Funds' portfolio securities are different, with the
Small Cap Fund investing in companies  whose market  capitalizations  range from
$100 million to $2.5 billion,  and the Nasdaq-100  Fund  generally  investing in
larger capitalization companies. Second, the Nasdaq-100 Fund, as a result of its
investment policy of investing in securities listed in the Nasdaq-100 Index, has
significant  weightings in the technology sector (which includes  biotechnology,
communications equipment,  semi-conductor equipment and products, and software).
The Small Cap Fund, which is not confined to purchasing  securities  represented
in a  pre-existing  list or index,  is  permitted  to invest in a wider range of
companies, and is generally more diversified across more sectors.

     Another significant difference between the Funds is that DSI and UBS Global
AM (New York)  utilize  different  strategies  and  processes  for analyzing and
selecting  securities to be purchased by the Funds. The Nasdaq-100 Fund seeks to
achieve its investment  objective by following the DSI  Proprietary  Strategy to

                                        21






invest  principally  in a selection  of common  stocks that are  included in the
Nasdaq-100  Index./1/  The  Nasdaq-100  Fund  normally  invests in a majority of
stocks in the Nasdaq-100  and weights its holdings based on the DSI  Proprietary
Strategy.  Compared  to the  stock  weightings  in  the  Nasdaq-100  Index,  the
Nasdaq-100  Fund  overweights  stocks that the DSI  Proprietary  Strategy  ranks
positively,  and underweights stocks that the Strategy ranks negatively relative
to the Nasdaq-100  Index.  Generally,  the  Nasdaq-100  Fund gives stocks with a
neutral ranking the same weight as in the Nasdaq-100 Index.

     The  Nasdaq-100  Fund  seeks  to  control  the  risk  of its  portfolio  by
maintaining a general  correlation of at least 90% between its  performance  and
the  performance  of the  Nasdaq-100  Index over  time,  with a  relatively  low
tracking error. To maintain this general correlation,  the Nasdaq-100 Fund gives
each stock in its portfolio a weighting  that is close to the  Nasdaq-100  Index
weighting  and, if necessary,  readjusts the  weighting  when it rebalances  the
portfolio.  The  Nasdaq-100  Fund also  considers  relative  industry and sector
weightings and market  capitalization.  The Nasdaq-100 Fund generally expects to
rebalance  its portfolio  monthly,  but may do so more often if DSI considers it
appropriate to do so. As of September 30, 2002, approximately 59.9% of the value
of the stocks  currently in the Nasdaq-100  Index was in the technology  sector,
and the  Nasdaq-100  Fund  expects that its  investments  will reflect a similar
concentration in the technology sector.

     In selecting  securities for the Nasdaq-100 Fund, DSI seeks to add value to
the Fund's  portfolio  through stock  selection  while  managing the Fund's risk
profile. DSI believes that:

     o    undervalued  securities  with  improving  market  fundamentals  should
          outperform a given benchmark;

     o    during different  market  environments,  different  factors can become
          more or less significant; and

     o    unintended deviations from the benchmark should be minimized.

     In deciding which stocks to buy and sell for the Nasdaq-100  Fund, DSI uses
its Proprietary Strategy,  which consists of an adaptive stock ranking model and
a portfolio  construction  model.  DSI has  developed a  quantitative,  dynamic,
bottom-up,  multi-factor model to rank the stocks in the Nasdaq-100 Index, using
relatively independent factors (such as earnings expectations,  earnings growth,
valuation, yield, return on equity and margins). DSI believes that these factors
have varying  influences  during  different phases of the stock market cycle and
reevaluates the relative  importance and weighting of each factor  monthly.  DSI
applies this adaptive stock ranking model to the stocks in the Nasdaq-100 Index,
so that the relative rankings of these stocks may change from month to month.

     In  contrast  to the  Nasdaq-100  Fund,  UBS Global AM (New York)  actively
manages the Small Cap Fund  through the  sub-advisor's  small cap growth  equity
investment process. In selecting  securities,  UBS Global AM (New York) seeks to
invest in companies that possess  dominant  market  positions or  franchises,  a
major technical edge, or a unique competitive advantage. To this end, UBS Global
AM (New York) considers earnings revision trends,  positive stock price momentum
and sales acceleration when selecting securities.  The Small Cap Fund may invest
in emerging growth companies,  which are companies that UBS Global AM (New York)
expects to experience  above-average  earnings or cash flow growth or meaningful

changes  in  underlying  asset  values.  In  constructing  the Small Cap  Fund's
portfolio,  UBS  Global AM (New  York)  relies  on its  proprietary  models  and
fundamental research on companies determined to be favorable under its models.

     Principal  Investments.  As stated above,  under normal market  conditions,
both Funds seek to achieve their investment objectives by investing primarily in
equity securities of U.S. and foreign issuers.

     Equity Securities. Each Fund's investments in equity securities may include
common  stock,  preferred  stock,  securities  such as warrants  or rights,  and
sponsored or unsponsored American,  European and Global depositary receipts. The
Nasdaq-100  Fund may also  invest in  convertible  debt  securities  and  equity
interests in trusts, partnerships, joint ventures or similar enterprises.

     Foreign  Investments.  Both  Funds are  permitted  to invest in the  equity
securities of foreign  companies.  The Small Cap Fund has an  investment  policy
that  permits  investments  of up to 20% of the  Fund's  net  assets in  foreign
securities.  The Nasdaq-100 Fund may invest in U.S. dollar  denominated  foreign
securities  that are included in the  Nasdaq-100  Index and traded on recognized
U.S. exchanges or on the U.S. over-the-counter market.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents.  Each Fund may invest a portion of its assets in
short-term  debt  securities   (including   repurchase  agreements  and  reverse
repurchase agreements) of corporations, the U.S. government and its agencies and
instrumentalities,  and banks and finance companies, which may be denominated in
any currency. Each Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in shares issued
by affiliated  or  unaffiliated  money market  mutual funds and similar  private
investment vehicles.  Both Funds may invest in cash equivalents for a variety of
reasons,  including for liquidity, in anticipation of shareholder redemptions of
Fund shares, to reinvest cash collateral from securities  lending activities and
as part of their normal investment programs.

     Under normal circumstances, each Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in
cash or cash equivalent investments, such as money market instruments.  However,
in order to protect  against adverse market  conditions,  the Small Cap Fund may
take a temporary  defensive  position by  investing  up to 100% of its assets in
cash or cash  equivalents.  The  Nasdaq-100  Fund does not have a similar policy
with regard to investing for temporary defensive purposes. If the Small Cap Fund
invests  for  defensive  purposes,  it may be unable to  pursue  its  investment
objective.

     Derivatives.  Derivative  securities are those  securities whose values are
dependent upon the performance of one or more securities, indices or currencies.
Both Funds may (but are not required) to use options, futures contracts, options
on  future  contracts  and  forward  currency  contracts.   Each  Fund  may  use
derivatives  for a variety of reasons,  including  to reduce the risk of adverse
price  movements  while  investing cash received when  investors buy shares,  to
facilitate trading and to reduce transaction costs. Specifically, the Nasdaq-100
Fund may  (but is not  required  to) use  derivatives  as part of its  principal
investment strategy to simulate investment in the stocks in the Nasdaq-100 Index
stocks, while retaining a cash balance for Fund management purposes.

     Portfolio  Turnover.  Neither Fund considers  portfolio turnover rates when
making investment decisions.  The portfolio turnover rate for the Small Cap Fund
may exceed 100% and in some years 150%.  Increased portfolio turnover may result
in higher costs for brokerage commissions, dealer mark-ups and other transaction
costs.  It may also  result in  taxable  gains.  Higher  costs  associated  with
increased portfolio turnover may offset gains in a Fund's performance.

What are the principal risk factors associated with investments in the Funds?

     The risks of  investing  in the Funds are  similar.  Like all  investments,
investments in the Funds involve  risks.  There is no assurance that either Fund
will meet its  investment  objective.  The  achievement  of a

                                        23






Fund's investment  objective depends upon market conditions generally and on the
analytical  and  portfolio   management   skills  of  the  Fund's   sub-advisor.
Investments in the Funds are not guaranteed;  you may lose money by investing in
the Funds.  Other  principal  risks of  investing  in the Funds are  highlighted
below.  Additional  risks of investing in each Fund,  along with further details
about some of the risks described  below, are discussed in each Fund's Statement
of Additional Information.

     Equity  Risk.  The  prices of common  stocks  and other  equity  securities
generally  fluctuate more than those of other investments.  They reflect changes
in the issuing company's  financial condition and changes in the overall market.
Common stocks  generally  represent the riskiest  investment in a company.  Each
Fund  could  lose a  substantial  part,  or even  all,  of its  investment  in a
company's stock.

     Market Risk.  The risk that the market value of a Fund's  investments  will
fluctuate  as the stock and bond  markets  fluctuate.  Market  risk may affect a
single issuer,  industry or sector of the economy,  or it may affect the markets
as a whole.

     Small  Company  Risk.  (Small Cap Fund only) The risk that  investments  in
smaller companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies,  as
smaller  companies  generally  experience  higher growth and failure rates.  The
trading  volume of smaller  company  securities  is normally  lower than that of
larger  companies.  Such  securities may be less liquid than securities of large
company issuers, making it difficult to sell these securities at a time or price
desired. Changes in the demand for the securities of smaller companies generally
have a  disproportionate  effect on their market prices,  tending to make prices
rise more in  response  to buying  demand and fall more in  response  to selling
pressure.

     DSI  Proprietary  Strategy  Risk.  (Nasdaq-100  Fund only) By using the DSI
Proprietary  Strategy,  the  Nasdaq-100  Fund seeks higher total return over the
long  term than the  total  return  of the  Nasdaq-100  Index.  It  maintains  a
correlation  between the Fund's  performance and that of the Nasdaq-100 Index in
both rising and falling markets.  DSI attempts to achieve the Nasdaq-100  Fund's
objective by overweighting some stocks and underweighting others relative to the
Nasdaq-100 Index. If stock prices do not behave in the manner anticipated by the
DSI  Proprietary  Strategy,  the Nasdaq-100  Fund may not achieve its investment
objective  and could lose more money on  overweighted  stocks or forgo  gains on
underweighted stocks, resulting in lower performance than if the Nasdaq-100 Fund
were to simply  invest to track the  weightings  of the  Nasdaq-100  Index.  The
Nasdaq-100 Fund's performance also may deviate from that of the Nasdaq-100 Index
due to the daily cash flows to which the Fund is subject  and which will  result
in the  ongoing  purchases  and  sales of  stocks  and  transactional  expenses,
including  brokerage  fees. In addition,  the Nasdaq-100  Fund must pay fees and
expenses that are not borne by the Nasdaq-100 Index.

     Technology Sector Risk.  (Nasdaq-100 Fund only) The Nasdaq-100 Fund expects
to invest in the  stocks of  companies  in the  technology  sector as  necessary
generally to reflect the Nasdaq-100  Index's  concentration in this sector. As a
result, the Nasdaq-100 Fund is more susceptible to the risks that are associated
with  that  sector  than a fund  with a  broader  range  of  investments.  As of
September 30, 2002,  approximately  59.9% of the value of the stocks  underlying
the Nasdaq-100  Index was  represented  by companies in the  technology  sector,
which has shown  relatively  high  volatility  in price  performance.  The price
performance  of the  Nasdaq-100  Index  and the price of the  Nasdaq-100  Fund's
shares may be more  volatile when  compared to other  broad-based  stock indices
because of their  concentration  in the  technology  sector.  In  addition,  the
Nasdaq-100  Fund is more  susceptible to the risks that are associated with that
sector  than  a fund  with a  broader  range  of  investments,  and  the  Fund's
performance  will be  adversely  affected  by  unfavorable  developments  in the
technology  sector.  Individual issuers within the technology sector, as well as
the technology sector as a whole, can be significantly  affected by obsolescence
of existing  technology,  short product cycles,  falling prices and profits, and
competition from new market entrants.

                                        24







     Single  Issuer  Concentration  Risk.  (Nasdaq-100  Fund only)  Because  the
Nasdaq-100 Fund is non-diversified, it can invest more of its assets in a single
issuer than a diversified fund can.  Specifically,  a  non-diversified  fund may
invest more than 5% of its total assets in  securities  of a single  issuer to a
greater extent than a diversified  fund.  The Nasdaq-100  Fund expects to invest
more than 5% of its total  assets in the  securities  of specific  companies  as
needed generally to follow the Nasdaq-100 Index. The identity and capitalization
weightings of the companies which represented 5% or more of the Nasdaq-100 Index
as of December 31, 2002 were as follows:  Microsoft Corporation (12.54%). When a
fund holds a large  position in the  securities  of one  issuer,  changes in the
financial  condition  or in the  market's  assessment  of that  issuer may cause
larger changes in the fund's total return and in the price of its shares than it
would for a more diversified fund.

     Foreign  Investing  Risk.  The value of each Fund's  investments in foreign
securities may fall due to adverse governmental,  political, social and economic
developments  abroad.  Also,  each Fund is  subject  to the risk of  changes  in
currency   valuations  and  differences  between  U.S.  and  foreign  regulatory
requirements and market practices.

     Derivatives Risk. The value of "derivatives" may rise or fall in value more
rapidly  than the  value  of other  investments.  For  some  derivatives,  it is
possible  for  each  Fund to lose  more  than  the  amount  it  invested  in the
derivative.  A Fund's use of  derivatives  may not succeed for various  reasons,
including  unexpected  changes  in the values of the  derivatives  or the assets
underlying  them.  Also,  if a Fund uses  derivatives  to adjust or "hedge"  the
overall risk of its portfolio, the hedge may not succeed if changes in the value
of the  derivatives  are not  matched  by  opposite  changes in the value of the
assets being hedged.

How do the investment restrictions of the Funds differ?

     The Small Cap Fund and the Nasdaq-100 Fund are subject to similar,  but not
identical,   fundamental   investment   restrictions   regarding   lending   and
underwriting.  The differences in these specific investment restrictions, and in
the Funds' other investment restrictions, are discussed below.

     The Funds have comparable investment restrictions relating to lending. Both
Funds will not make loans, although each Fund is permitted to lend its portfolio
securities and to enter into  repurchase  agreements  (which may be deemed to be
loans). Each Fund may lend it portfolio  securities to qualified  broker-dealers
and  institutional  investors  in an amount  up to 33 1/3% of its total  assets.
Also, certain  instruments (such as debt securities,  loan  participations,  and
interests therein) are explicitly excluded from the Funds' lending restrictions.
In this regard, the Nasdaq-100 Fund's restriction  explicitly  excludes from the
investment  restriction  a greater  array of debt  securities  and money  market
instruments (including bonds, debentures, investments in government obligations,
commercial  paper,  certificates  of deposit,  bankers'  acceptances and similar
instruments)  than the  Small Cap  Fund's  restriction.  The  Small  Cap  Fund's
investment  restriction  permits the Fund to engage in direct corporate loans in
accordance  with the Fund's  investment  policies,  and permits the Fund to make
loans to affiliated investment companies to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act
or any exemption therefrom that may be granted by the SEC.

     The Funds are  subject to  substantively  similar  investment  restrictions
relating to underwriting  securities.  The Small Cap Fund's restriction provides
that the Fund will not act as an underwriter, except to the extent that the Fund
may be deemed to be an underwriter  when disposing of securities it owns or when
selling its own shares. The Nasdaq-100 Fund's restriction provides that the Fund
will not 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 the Fund's  disposition of portfolio
securities.

     The Funds have differing fundamental  investment  restrictions with respect
to borrowing.  The Small Cap Fund may not borrow money, except that the Fund may
borrow  money  from  banks to the extent

                                        25






permitted  by  the  1940  Act,  or to the  extent  permitted  by any  exemptions
therefrom  which  may be  granted  by the SEC,  or for  temporary  or  emergency
purposes, and then in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of the value of the Fund's
total assets.  The  Nasdaq-100  Fund may not 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. Furthermore, the Nasdaq-100 Fund may borrow up to an additional 5% of
its total assets (not including the amount  borrowed) for temporary or emergency
purposes.   Finally,  the  Nasdaq-100  Fund  is  subject  to  a  non-fundamental
investment  restriction  that  prohibits  the  Fund  from  purchasing  portfolio
securities  while  borrowings  in excess of 5% of the  Fund's  total  assets are
outstanding.  The Small Cap Fund is not subject to a comparable  non-fundamental
investment restriction.

     The Funds are subject to different  restrictions relating to issuing senior
securities.  The Small Cap Fund is prohibited from issuing  securities senior to
its presently authorized shares of beneficial interest,  except that the Fund is
not prohibited under the restriction  from (a) making any permitted  borrowings,
loans,  mortgages or pledges;  (b) entering  into  options,  futures  contracts,
forward contracts,  repurchase transactions or reverse repurchase  transactions;
or (c) making short sales of securities as described below. The Nasdaq-100 Fund,
by contrast,  is prohibited from issuing senior securities,  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 that have been issued but reduced
by any  liabilities  not  constituting  senior  securities),  at the time of the
issuance.

     The Funds have different  restrictions regarding short sales. The Small Cap
Fund's restriction,  unlike the Nasdaq-100 Fund's  restriction,  is fundamental.
The Small Cap Fund is permitted, under its investment restriction, to make short
sales of  securities,  to the extent  permitted  by the 1940 Act and any rule or
order thereunder,  or SEC staff  interpretations  thereof. The Nasdaq-100 Fund's
non-fundamental  investment  restriction states that the Fund will not engage in
short sales of securities or maintain a short position, except that the Fund may
(i) sell  securities  short "against the box," and (ii) maintain short positions
in connection with the Fund's use of financial options and futures,  forward and
spot currency  contracts,  swap  transactions  and other financial  contracts or
derivative instruments.

     There  are  notable  differences  in  the  Funds'  fundamental   investment
restrictions  relating  to  concentration.  The Small Cap Fund is  subject  to a
restriction  that provides that the Fund will not concentrate  (invest more than
25% of its net  assets)  in  securities  of issuers  in a  particular  industry,
whereas the Nasdaq-100 Fund is subject to a fundamental  investment  restriction
of not purchasing 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.  While both Funds exclude
securities  issued  or  guaranteed  by the U.S.  government,  its  agencies  and
instrumentalities  from their  restrictions,  the Nasdaq-100  Fund's  investment
restriction  differs  from the Small Cap  Fund's  restriction  in two  respects.
First,  municipal securities are explicitly excluded from the application of the
Nasdaq-100 Fund's 25% restriction,  while municipal  securities are not excluded
from the Small Cap Fund's restriction.  Second, the Nasdaq-100 Fund's investment
restriction contains an exclusion that provides that the Fund will invest 25% or
more of its total  assets in  securities  of  issuers  in the same  industry  if
necessary  to  replicate  the  weighting  of  that  particular  industry  in the
Nasdaq-100  Fund's benchmark index. The Small Cap Fund's  restriction  obviously
does not include a similar exception.

     While both Funds are subject to a fundamental  investment  restriction that
provides  that neither Fund will  purchase or sell real estate,  the  Nasdaq-100
Fund has more flexibility under its investment  restriction.  The Small Cap Fund
is permitted to purchase and sell  securities of real estate  investment  trusts
("REITs") under its restriction.  The Nasdaq-100 Fund, however, may purchase and
sell not only  securities  of REITs,  but also  securities of other issuers that
invest in real estate. The Nasdaq-100 Fund may also, under its

                                        26






restriction,   make   investments  in   mortgage-backed   securities,   mortgage
participations  and other instruments  supported by interests in real estate. In
addition,  the Nasdaq-100 Fund may exercise rights under agreements  relating to
real  estate-related  securities,   including  the  right  to  enforce  security
interests and to hold real estate acquired by reason of such  enforcement  until
the real estate can be liquidated in an orderly manner.

     The Funds'  restrictions on investing in commodities  are similar,  but not
identical. The Small Cap Fund may not purchase or sell commodities,  except that
the Fund may purchase or sell  currencies,  may enter into futures  contracts on
securities, currencies and other indices or any other financial instruments, and
may purchase and sell options on such futures contracts. The Nasdaq-100 Fund may
not purchase or sell physical  commodities  unless they are acquired as a result
of owning securities or other instruments, but the Nasdaq-100 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.

     The Small  Cap Fund is  subject  to a  fundamental  investment  restriction
relating to diversification,  which provides that the Fund will not purchase the
securities  of any one  issuer  (other  than the U.S.  government  or any of its
agencies or  instrumentalities  or securities of other investment  companies) if
immediately  after such  investment:  (a) more than 5% of the value of the Small
Cap Fund's total  assets would be invested in such issuer;  or (b) more than 10%
of the outstanding  voting securities of such issuer would be owned by the Fund,
except  that up to 25% of the value of the Fund's  total  assets may be invested
without regard to such 5% and 10% limitations.  As a  non-diversified  fund, the
Nasdaq-100 Fund obviously is not subject to a comparable investment restriction.

     The Nasdaq-100 Fund is subject to a non-fundamental  investment restriction
prohibiting the Fund from purchasing securities on margin, except for short-term
credit  necessary  for clearance of portfolio  transactions  and except that the
Fund may make margin  deposits in connection  with its use of financial  options
and futures, forward and spot currency contracts,  swap transactions,  and other
financial contracts and derivative instruments. The Small Cap Fund does not have
a stated investment restriction relating to purchasing securities on margin.

     The Nasdaq-100 Fund is subject to a non-fundamental  investment restriction
that  provides that the Fund will not purchase  securities  of other  investment
companies,  except to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act or under the terms of
an exemptive order granted by the SEC, and except that this restriction does not
apply to  securities  received  or  acquired  as  dividends,  through  offers of
exchange,  or as a result of reorganization,  consolidation or merger. The Small
Cap Fund is not  subject  to an  explicit  investment  restriction  relating  to
investing in securities of other investment companies.

     Each Fund is  subject  to a  non-fundamental  investment  restriction  that
allows the Fund to invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.

                         COMPARISON OF FUND PERFORMANCE

     The following bar charts and tables provide  information  about each Fund's
performance  and thus give some indication of the risks of an investment in each
Fund. The bar charts show how the performance of the Class Y Shares of each Fund
has  varied  from year to year.  The  tables  for the Funds  illustrate  how the
performance  of each  class of  shares,  before  taxes  and for  specified  time
periods, compares to that of a broad measure of market performance. In addition,
the tables present the performance of the Class Y Shares of each Fund reflecting
the impact of taxes.  After-tax  returns  are  calculated  using the  historical
highest  individual  federal  marginal  income tax rates and do not  reflect the
impact  of  state  and  local  taxes.  Actual  after-tax  returns  depend  on an
investor's  tax situation  and are likely to differ from those shown.  After-tax
returns shown are not relevant to investors  who hold their Fund shares  through
tax-deferred

                                        27






arrangements  such as 401(k) plans or individual  retirement  accounts.  In some
cases,  the return  after  taxes may exceed  the return  before  taxes due to an
assumed tax  benefit  from any losses on a sale of Fund shares at the end of the
period.  After-tax  returns are shown only for Class Y Shares of the Funds,  and
after-tax returns for the other classes will vary.

     Each Fund's past performance,  before and after taxes, does not necessarily
indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

                               VOTING INFORMATION

How many votes are necessary to approve the Agreement and Plan?

     The  presence,  in person or by proxy,  of  one-third  of the shares of the
Nasdaq-100  Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting  shall  constitute a quorum for
the  transaction  of  business  at the  Meeting.  Any  lesser  number  shall  be
sufficient for adjournments.  Provided that a quorum is present, the approval of
the Agreement and Plan requires the affirmative  vote of the lesser of: (i) more
than 50% of the outstanding  voting  securities of the Nasdaq-100  Fund; or (ii)
67% or more of the  voting  securities  of the  Nasdaq-100  Fund  present at the
Meeting,  if the  holders  of more  than 50% of the  Fund's  outstanding  voting
securities  are  present  or  represented  by proxy.  Each  shareholder  will be
entitled  to one  vote for  each  full  share,  and a  fractional  vote for each
fractional  share, of the Nasdaq-100 Fund held on the Record Date. If sufficient
votes to approve the proposal  are not received by the date of the Meeting,  the
Meeting may be adjourned to permit further solicitations of proxies.

     Abstentions  and  broker   non-votes  will  be  included  for  purposes  of
determining  whether a quorum is  present at the  Meeting,  but will not be: (1)
treated  as  votes  cast  at the  Meeting;  or (2)  voted  for  or  against  any
adjournment or proposal.  Abstentions and broker non-votes are effectively votes
against a proposal.

How do I ensure my vote is accurately recorded?

     You may  attend  the  Meeting  and vote in  person.  You may  also  vote by
completing  and signing the  attached  proxy card and mailing it in the enclosed
postage paid envelope. A proxy card is, in essence, a ballot. If you simply sign
and date the proxy but give no voting instructions, your shares will be voted in
favor of the Agreement  and Plan and in accordance  with the views of management
upon any unexpected  matters that come before the Meeting or any  adjournment of
the Meeting. You may also vote your shares by telephone or via the Internet.  To
vote in this manner, please see the instructions on the attached proxy card.

Can I revoke my proxy?

     You may  revoke  your  proxy at any time  before  it is voted by  sending a
written notice to the Nasdaq-100 Fund expressly  revoking your proxy, by signing
and forwarding to the Nasdaq-100  Fund a later-dated  proxy, or by attending the
Meeting and voting in person.

What other matters will be voted upon at the Meeting?

     The Securities  Trust Board does not intend to bring any matters before the
Meeting other than the Merger described in this Prospectus/Proxy  Statement.  It
is not aware of any other matters to be brought before the Meeting by others. If
any other matter legally comes before the Meeting,  proxies for which discretion
has been granted will be voted in accordance with the views of management.

Who is entitled to vote?

     All  shareholders of record of the Nasdaq-100 Fund at the close of business
on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the meeting. The number of shares
of the Nasdaq-100 Fund and each of its four classes outstanding as of the Record
Date is listed below:

  Nasdaq-100 Fund Class Y Shares                 195,073

What other solicitations will be made?

     The Nasdaq-100 Fund will request broker-dealer firms, custodians,  nominees
and  fiduciaries  to forward  proxy  materials to the  beneficial  owners of the
shares held of record by such persons. Broker-dealer firms, custodians, nominees
and fiduciaries may be reimbursed by UBS Global AM for their reasonable expenses
incurred  in   connection   with  such  proxy   solicitation.   In  addition  to
solicitations  by mail,  officers and employees of the Securities  Trust and UBS
Global AM, without  additional or special  compensation,  may conduct additional
solicitations  by  telephone  and via the  Internet.  The  Securities  Trust has
engaged Georgeson  Shareholder  Communications,  a proxy  solicitation  firm, to
assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Meeting, which is expected to cost
approximately  $7,089.  The  costs  of such  solicitations,  and any  additional
solicitations of any adjourned session, will be borne entirely by UBS Global AM.

     AGREEMENT  AND  PLAN  OF  REORGANIZATION,  made  as of  this  ____  day  of
____________,  2003,  by and  between The UBS Funds (the  "Trust"),  a statutory
trust created under the laws of the State of Delaware,  with its principal place
of business at One North Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, on behalf of its
series,  the UBS U.S.  Small Cap Growth  Fund (the  "Small Cap  Fund"),  and UBS

created  under the laws of the State of Delaware,  with its  principal  place of

                             PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

     The   reorganization   (hereinafter   referred   to   as   the   "Plan   of
Reorganization") will consist of: (i) the acquisition by the Trust, on behalf of
the Small Cap Fund, of substantially all of the property, assets and goodwill of

$0.001 par value,  of (a) UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth  Fund-Class A shares ("Small
Cap Fund Class A Shares"),  (b) UBS U.S.  Small Cap Growth  Fund-Class  B shares
("Small Cap Fund Class B Shares"),  (c) UBS U.S.  Small Cap Growth  Fund-Class C
shares  ("Small  Cap Fund Class C  Shares"),  and (d) UBS U.S.  Small Cap Growth
Fund-Class Y shares ("Small Cap Fund Class Y Shares"), and the assumption by the

hereof, hereinafter called the "Closing"), all upon and subject to the terms and
conditions  of  this   Agreement  and  Plan  of   Reorganization   ("Agreement")
hereinafter set forth. The Trust and the Securities Trust intend that the series
of steps  contemplated  by this  Agreement  be treated  for  federal  income tax
purposes as a taxable sale by the Nasdaq-100  Fund of its Net Assets (as defined
below) in complete  liquidation,  within the meaning of Sections 331 and 1001 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

          Dissolution of the Nasdaq-100 Fund

     (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,  and in reliance
on the  representations  and  warranties of the Trust herein  contained,  and in
consideration  of the  delivery  by the  Trust of the  number  of its  shares of
beneficial interest of the Small Cap Fund hereinafter  provided,  the Securities
Trust,  on behalf of the  Nasdaq-100  Fund,  agrees  that it will sell,  convey,
transfer  and  deliver  to the  Trust,  on behalf of the Small Cap

                                       A-1





Fund, at the Closing provided for in Section 3, all of the  liabilities,  debts,
obligations and duties of any nature, whether accrued,  absolute,  contingent or
otherwise  ("Liabilities") and the assets of the Nasdaq-100 Fund as of the close
of business (which  hereinafter  shall be, unless  otherwise  noted, the regular
close of  business of the New York Stock  Exchange,  Inc.  ("NYSE"))  ("Close of
Business")  on the valuation  date (as defined in Section 3 hereof,  hereinafter
called the "Valuation  Date"),  free and clear of all liens,  encumbrances,  and
claims  whatsoever  (other  than  shareholders'  rights of  redemption  and such
restrictions  as might arise under the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended (the
"1933 Act"), with respect to privately placed or otherwise restricted securities
that the Nasdaq-100  Fund may have acquired in the ordinary course of business),
except for cash, bank deposits,  or cash  equivalent  securities in an estimated
amount necessary (1) to pay the Nasdaq-100 Fund's costs and expenses of carrying
out  this  Agreement  (including,  but  not  limited  to,  fees of  counsel  and
accountants,  and  expenses  of its  liquidation  and  dissolution  contemplated
hereunder),  which costs and expenses  shall be  established on the books of the
Nasdaq-100  Fund as liability  reserves,  (2) to discharge all of the Nasdaq-100
Fund's  Liabilities  on its books at the Close of Business on the Valuation Date
including,   but  not  limited  to,  its  income  dividends  and  capital  gains
distributions,  if any, payable for any period prior to, and through,  the Close
of  Business  on  the  Valuation  Date,  and  excluding  those  liabilities  and
obligations  that would  otherwise be discharged at a later date in the ordinary
course of business,  and (3) to pay such contingent  liabilities as the trustees
of the Securities  Trust shall  reasonably  deem to exist against the Nasdaq-100
Fund,  if any,  at the  Close of  Business  on the  Valuation  Date,  for  which
contingent and other appropriate  liability reserves shall be established on the
books of the Nasdaq-100 Fund (hereinafter  "Net Assets").  The Securities Trust,
on behalf of the Nasdaq-100  Fund,  shall also retain any and all rights that it
may have over and against any person that may have  accrued up to and  including
the Close of Business on the Valuation Date. The Securities  Trust agrees to use
commercially  reasonable  efforts  to  identify  all  of the  Nasdaq-100  Fund's
Liabilities  prior  to the  Valuation  Date  and to  discharge  all  such  known
Liabilities on or prior to the Valuation Date.

     (b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,  and in reliance
on the  representations and warranties of the Securities Trust herein contained,
and in consideration of such sale, conveyance, transfer, and delivery, the Trust
agrees at the  Closing  to assume  the  Liabilities,  on behalf of the Small Cap
Fund,  and to deliver to the  Nasdaq-100  Fund: (i) the number of Small Cap Fund
Class A Shares,  determined  by dividing  the net asset value per share of Small
Cap Fund Class A Shares as of the Close of Business on the Valuation Date by the
net  asset  value  per share of  Nasdaq-100  Fund  Class A Shares as of Close of
Business on the  Valuation  Date,  and  multiplying  the result by the number of
outstanding shares of the Nasdaq-100 Fund Class A Shares as of Close of Business
on the  Valuation  Date;  (ii) the  number  of Small  Cap Fund  Class B  Shares,
determined  by dividing  the net asset value per share of Small Cap Fund Class B
Shares as of Close of Business on the Valuation  Date by the net asset value per
share of Nasdaq-100 Fund Class B Shares as of Close of Business on the Valuation
Date,  and  multiplying  the  result  by the  number  of  outstanding  shares of
Nasdaq-100  Fund Class B Shares as of Close of Business on the  Valuation  Date;
(iii) the number of Small Cap Fund Class C Shares,  determined  by dividing  the
net  asset  value  per  share of Small  Cap Fund  Class C Shares  as of Close of
Business on the  Valuation  Date by the net asset value per share of  Nasdaq-100
Fund  Class C  Shares  as of  Close  of  Business  on the  Valuation  Date,  and
multiplying  the result by the number of outstanding  shares of Nasdaq-100  Fund
Class C Shares  as of Close of  Business  on the  Valuation  Date;  and (iv) the
number of Small Cap Fund Class Y Shares,  determined  by dividing  the net asset
value per share of Small Cap Fund Class Y Shares as of Close of  Business on the
Valuation  Date by the net  asset  value per share of  Nasdaq-100  Fund  Class Y
Shares as of Close of Business on the Valuation Date, and multiplying the result
by the  number of  outstanding  shares of  Nasdaq-100  Fund Class Y Shares as of
Close of Business on the Valuation  Date. All such values shall be determined in
the manner and as of the time set forth in Section 2 hereof.

                                       A-2






     (c) As soon as practicable following the Closing, the Nasdaq-100 Fund shall
dissolve and distribute pro rata to its  shareholders  of record as of the Close
of Business on the  Valuation  Date,  the shares of  beneficial  interest of the
Small Cap Fund received by the Nasdaq-100  Fund pursuant to this Section 1. Such
dissolution  and  distribution  shall be accomplished  by the  establishment  of
accounts  on the  share  records  of the  Small  Cap Fund of the type and in the
amounts  due  such  shareholders  pursuant  to this  Section  1 based  on  their
respective holdings of shares of the Nasdaq-100 Fund as of the Close of Business
on the Valuation Date. Fractional shares of beneficial interest of the Small Cap
Fund shall be carried to the third decimal place. No  certificates  representing
shares  of  beneficial  interest  of the  Small  Cap  Fund  will  be  issued  to
shareholders of the Nasdaq-100 Fund.

     (d) At the Closing, each shareholder of record of the Nasdaq-100 Fund as of
the record date (the  "Distribution  Record  Date")  with  respect to any unpaid
dividends  and other  distributions  that were  declared  prior to the  Closing,
including any dividend or distribution declared pursuant to Section 9(e) hereof,
shall have the right to receive such unpaid  dividends  and  distributions  with
respect  to the  shares of the  Nasdaq-100  Fund that  such  person  had on such
Distribution Record Date.

     2.   Valuation

     (a) The value of the  Nasdaq-100  Fund's Net Assets to be  acquired  by the
Small Cap Fund  hereunder  shall be  computed as of the Close of Business on the
Valuation Date using the valuation procedures set forth in the Nasdaq-100 Fund's
currently effective prospectus and statement of additional information.

     (b) The net asset value of a share of beneficial  interest of the Small Cap
Fund Class A Shares, the Small Cap Fund Class B Shares, the Small Cap Fund Class
C Shares  and the  Small  Cap Fund  Class Y Shares  shall be  determined  to the
nearest full cent as of the Close of Business on the Valuation  Date,  using the
valuation  procedures  set  forth in the Small Cap  Fund's  currently  effective
prospectus and statement of additional information.

     (c) The net asset value of a share of beneficial interest of the Nasdaq-100
Fund Class A Shares,  Nasdaq-100  Fund Class B Shares,  Nasdaq-100  Fund Class C
Shares,  and  Nasdaq-100  Fund Class Y Shares shall be determined to the nearest
full cent as of the Close of Business on the Valuation Date, using the valuation
procedures as set forth in the Nasdaq-100 Fund's currently effective  prospectus
and statement of additional information.

     3.   Closing and Valuation Date

     The  Valuation  Date  shall be  November  7,  2003,  or such  later date as
mutually agreed to in writing by the Trust and the Securities Trust. The Closing
shall take place at the  principal  office of UBS Global Asset  Management  (US)
Inc., 51 West 52nd Street, New York, New York 10019-6114, at approximately 10:00
a.m.  Eastern  time on the first  business day  following  the  Valuation  Date.
Notwithstanding  anything  herein  to the  contrary,  in the  event  that on the
Valuation Date (a) the NYSE shall be closed to trading or trading  thereon shall
be  restricted,  or (b) trading or the  reporting of trading on such exchange or
elsewhere  shall be  disrupted  so that,  in the  judgment  of the  Trust or the
Securities  Trust,  accurate  appraisal  of the  value of the net  assets of the
Nasdaq-100 Fund or the Small Cap Fund is impracticable, the Valuation Date shall
be postponed  until the first business day after the day when trading shall have
been fully resumed without restriction or disruption,  reporting shall have been
restored and accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of the Nasdaq-100
Fund and the Small Cap Fund is  practicable in the judgment of the Trust and the
Securities  Trust.  The Securities  Trust shall have provided for delivery as of
the Closing of those Net Assets of the Nasdaq-100  Fund to be transferred to the
Small Cap Fund's custodian,  JPMorgan Chase Bank, 270 Park Avenue, New York, New
York 10017.  Also, the  Securities  Trust shall deliver at the Closing a list of
names and addresses of the  shareholders  of record of  Nasdaq-100  Fund Class A
Shares,  Nasdaq-100  Fund  Class B Shares,  Nasdaq-100  Fund  Class C

                                       A-3





Shares  and  Nasdaq-100  Fund  Class Y  Shares,  and the  number  of  shares  of
beneficial  interest of such classes owned by each such shareholder,  indicating
thereon which such shares are represented by outstanding  certificates and which
by book-entry  accounts,  all as of the Close of Business on the Valuation Date,
certified by its transfer  agent,  or by its President or Vice  President to the
best of their  knowledge  and  belief.  The  Trust  shall  issue  and  deliver a
certificate  or  certificates  evidencing the shares of the Small Cap Fund to be
delivered at the Closing to said transfer agent registered in such manner as the
Securities Trust may request, or provide evidence satisfactory to the Securities
Trust that such  shares of  beneficial  interest of the Small Cap Fund have been
registered  in an open account on the books of the Small Cap Fund in such manner
as the Securities Trust may request.

     4.   Representations and Warranties by the Securities Trust

     The Securities Trust represents and warrants to the Trust that:

     (a) The Securities Trust is a statutory trust created under the laws of the
State of Delaware on December  23,  1999,  and is validly  existing  and in good

Nasdaq-100 Fund is a  non-diversified  separate series, is duly registered under
the Investment  Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end
management  investment company. Such registration is in full force and effect as
of the date  hereof and will be in full force and effect as of the  Closing  and
all of its shares  sold have been sold  pursuant  to an  effective  registration
statement  filed under the 1933 Act,  except for any shares sold pursuant to the
private  offering  exemption  for the  purpose of raising the  required  initial

Trustees, certified by the Secretary or equivalent officer.

     (c) That the  Commission  shall  not have  issued an  unfavorable  advisory
report under Section  25(b) of the 1940 Act, nor  instituted  nor  threatened to

reorganization  contemplated  hereby under Section 25(c) of the 1940 Act, and no
other  legal,   administrative  or  other  proceeding  shall  be  instituted  or
threatened that would materially and adversely affect the financial condition of
either party or would prohibit the transactions contemplated hereby.

     (d) That this Agreement and the Plan of Reorganization and the transactions

Small Cap Fund shares to be issued pursuant to Section 1 hereof, followed by the
distribution  by the Nasdaq-100  Fund to its  shareholders of the Small Cap Fund

recognition  of gain or loss to the  Nasdaq-100  Fund and its  shareholders  for
federal  income tax purposes under Sections 331 and 1001 of the Code, but not to
the Small Cap Fund and its shareholders.

     and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Nasdaq-100 Fund prospectus
     in effect at the time of such sales,  each such  outstanding  share is duly

     Securities  Trust,  the unfavorable  outcome of which would  materially and
     adversely affect the Securities Trust or the Nasdaq-100 Fund;

     this  Agreement,  except such as have been obtained under the 1933 Act, the
     1934 Act, the 1940 Act, and Delaware laws  (including,  in the case of each
     of the foregoing,  the rules and regulations thereunder) and such as may be
     required under state securities laws;

          (6) Neither the execution,  delivery nor performance of this Agreement
     by the Securities Trust violates any provision of its Trust Instrument, its
     By-Laws,  or the provisions of any agreement or other instrument,  known to
     such  counsel  to which  the  Securities  Trust is a party or by which  the
     Securities Trust is otherwise bound; and

     delivered  by the  Securities  Trust and  represents  the legal,  valid and
     binding  obligation of the Securities Trust and is enforceable  against the

     13.  Notice of Claim of Indemnification

     In the event that any claim is made against the Trust or the Small Cap Fund

from the  Securities  Trust,  the  Nasdaq-100  Fund or the  shareholders  of the
Nasdaq-100  Fund under Section 11 of this  Agreement,  or, in the event that any
claim is made against the Securities  Trust or the Nasdaq-100 Fund in respect of
which  indemnity may be sought by the Securities  Trust or the  Nasdaq-100  Fund
from the Trust or the Small Cap Fund  under  Section 12 of this  Agreement,  the
party seeking  indemnification  (the "Indemnified Party") shall, with reasonable
promptness and before  payment of such claim,  give written notice of such claim
to the  other  party  (the  "Indemnifying  Party").  If no  objection  as to the
validity  of the  claim  is made in  writing  to the  Indemnified  Party  by the
Indemnifying Party within thirty (30) days after giving notice hereunder,  then,
the Indemnified  Party may pay such claim and shall be entitled to reimbursement
therefor,  pursuant to this  Agreement.  If,  prior to the  termination  of such
thirty-day period, objection in writing as to the validity of such claim is made
to the Indemnified  Party, the Indemnified  Party shall withhold payment thereof

Indemnifying  Party;  or (ii) by a final  determination  of a court of competent
jurisdiction,

                                       A-12

reimbursement thereof,  pursuant to this Agreement; or (iii) with respect to any
Tax claims,  within  seven (7)  calendar  days  following  the earlier of (A) an

payable,  (B)  an  assessment  of  a  Tax  by  a  taxing  authority,  or  (C)  a
"determination"  as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code. For purposes of this
Section 13, the term "assessment" shall have the same meaning as used in Chapter
63 of the Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder,  or any comparable provision
under  the  laws  of the  appropriate  taxing  authority.  In the  event  of any
objection by the  Indemnifying  Party,  the  Indemnifying  Party shall  promptly
investigate the claim, and if it is not satisfied with the validity thereof, the
Indemnifying  Party shall conduct the defense against such claim.  All costs and
expenses   incurred  by  the   Indemnifying   Party  in  connection   with  such
investigation   and  defense  of  such  claim  shall  be  borne  by  it.   These
indemnification  provisions  are in addition to, and not in  limitation  of, any
other rights the parties may have under applicable law.

the Trust or persons who are their trustees, officers, agents or shareholders in

NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1--Basis of Combination:

     At a  special  meeting  of the  Board of  Trustees  of The UBS  Funds  (the
"Trust") held on July 28, 2003, the Board of Trustees  approved an Agreement and
Plan  of  Reorganization   pursuant  to  which,   subject  to  approval  by  the
shareholders of UBS Enhanced  Nasdaq-100 Fund  ("Nasdaq-100  Fund"), a series of
UBS Mutual  Funds  Securities  Trust  Nasdaq-100  Fund will  transfer all of its
assets,  subject to its  liabilities,  to UBS U.S.  Small Cap  Growth  Fund (the
"Fund"),  a series of the Trust,  in exchange for a number of shares of the Fund
equal in value to the net assets of Nasdaq-100 Fund (the "Exchange").  Shares of
the Fund then will be distributed to Nasdaq-100 Fund  shareholders on a pro rata
basis in liquidation of Nasdaq-100 Fund.

     The  Exchange  will be  accounted  for as a taxable  merger  of  investment
companies.  The unaudited pro forma  statement of  investments  and statement of
assets and liabilities reflect the financial position of the Fund and Nasdaq-100
Fund at June 30, 2003. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations  reflects
the results of operations of the Fund and Nasdaq-100  Fund for the twelve months
ended  June 30,  2003.  These  statements  have  been  derived  from the  Funds'
respective  books and records  utilized in calculating  daily net asset value at
the dates indicated above under generally accepted  accounting  principles.  The
historical cost of investment  securities of the Fund will be carried forward to
the Fund,  as the  surviving  entity,  and results of operations of the Fund for
pre-combination  periods  will not be  restated.  The cost  basis of  investment
securities of the Nasdaq-100 Fund carried  forward to the surviving  entity will
be the fair market  value of  investment  securities  at the close of the merger
date.  The  fiscal  year ends for the Fund and  Nasdaq-100  Fund are June 30 and
September 30, respectively.

     The  pro  forma   statements  of  investments,   statement  of  assets  and
liabilities and statement of operations  should be read in conjunction  with the
historical  financial  statements  of the  funds  included  or  incorporated  by
reference in the respective  Statements of Additional  Information of the funds.
The pro forma combined  financial  statements are presented for information only
and may not necessarily be representative of what the actual combined  financial
statements would have been had the reorganization occurred at June 30, 2003.

NOTE 2--Portfolio Valuation:

     Securities for which market  quotations are readily available are valued at
the last  available  sales  price on the  exchange  or market on which  they are
principally traded, or lacking any sales, at the last available bid price on the
exchange or market on which such securities are principally  traded. U.S. equity
securities  traded  over-the-counter  are  valued at the most  recent bid price.
Investments in affiliated  investment  companies are valued at the daily closing
net asset  value of the  respective  investment  company.  Securities  for which
market quotations are not readily  available,  including  restricted  securities
that are  subject  to  limitations  on their  sale,  are valued at fair value as
determined  in good faith by or under the  direction of the  respective  trust's
Board of Trustees. Short-term obligations with a maturity of 60 days or less are
valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

NOTE 3--Shares of Beneficial Interest:

     The pro forma net asset value per share assumes 3,420,257 additional shares
of beneficial  interest of the Fund were issued in connection  with the Exchange
as of June 30,  2003.  The pro forma number of shares that would be issuable was
calculated by dividing the net assets of Nasdaq-100 Fund at June 30, 2003 by the
net asset value per share per class of the Fund at June 30, 2003.  The pro forma
combined  number of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares  outstanding of
2,082,404,  1,376,488,  1,069,837  and  3,985,405,  respectively,   consists  of
1,098,460,  1,261,987,  993,169  and 66,641  shares,  respectively,  issuable to
Nasdaq-100 Fund as a result of the Exchange,  and 983,944,  114,501,  76,668 and
3,918,764 shares, respectively, of the Fund outstanding at June 30, 2003.

NOTE 4--Pro Forma Operating Expenses:

     The  accompanying  pro forma financial  statements  reflect changes in fund
expenses as if the  Exchange,  had taken place on June 30, 2003.  Although it is
anticipated that there will be an elimination of certain duplicative expenses as
a  result  of the  Exchange,  the  actual  amount  of such  expenses  cannot  be
determined because it is not possible to predict the cost of future operations.

NOTE 5--Merger Costs:

     Merger costs are estimated at  approximately  $120,000 and are not included
in the pro forma  statement of operations  since UBS Global Asset  Management is
paying these costs.  These costs represent the estimated  expenses of management
of the Trust and UBS Mutual Funds Series Trust  carrying out  obligations  under
the Exchange,  and consist of  management's  estimate of legal fees,  accounting
fees, printing costs and mailing charges related to the Exchange.


NOTE 6--Federal Income Taxes:

     Each fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated investment company" under
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  After the Exchange,
the Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated  investment  company,  if
such  qualification is in the best interests of its  shareholders,  by complying
with the provisions  available to certain  investment  companies,  as defined in
applicable  sections of the Code,  and to make  distributions  of taxable income
sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or  substantially  all,  Federal income
taxes.

     The identified cost of investments for the Funds is substantially  the same
for both  financial  accounting  and Federal  income tax purposes.  The tax cost
basis of investment  securities of the  Nasdaq-100  Fund carried  forward to the
surviving  entity will be the fair market value of investment  securities at the
close of the merger date of investments.

Item 17. Undertakings

     (1)  Insofar  as   indemnification   for  liabilities   arising  under  the
          Securities  Act of 1933 may be  permitted to  directors,  officers and
          controlling  persons  of the  Registrant  pursuant  to Rule 484 of the
          Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), or otherwise, the
          Registrant  has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
          Exchange  Commission such  indemnification is against public policy as
          expressed  in the 1933 Act and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In the
          event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
          than the payment by the  Registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a
          director,  officer  or  controlling  person of the  Registrant  in the
          successful  defense of any action,  suit or proceeding) is asserted by
          such  director,  officer  or  controlling  person in  connection  with
          securities  being  registered,  the  Registrant  will,  unless  in the
          opinion of its  counsel  the matter  has been  settled by  controlling
          precedent,  submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
          whether  such  indemnification  by  it is  against  public  policy  as
          expressed  in  the  1933  Act  and  will  be  governed  by  the  final
          adjudication of such issue.

     (2)  The undersigned  registrant agrees that prior to any public reoffering
          of the securities  registered through the use of a prospectus which is
          a part of this  registration  statement  by any person or party who is
          deemed to be an  underwriter  within the meaning of Rule 145(c) of the
          1933 Act,  the  reoffering  prospectus  will  contain the  information
          called for by the  applicable  registration  form for  reofferings  by
          persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information
          called for by the other items of the applicable form.

     (3)  The undersigned  registrant agrees that every prospectus that is filed
          under  paragraph  (1) above will be filed as a part of an amendment to
          the registration statement and will not be used until the amendment is
          effective,  and that, in determining any liability under the 1933 Act,
          each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
          statement for the securities offered therein,  and the offering of the
          securities  at that time shall be deemed to be the  initial  bona fide
          offering of them.
