WHEREAS PaineWebber Managed Assets Trust ("Fund") is a Massachusetts
business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
("1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company; and
WHEREAS the Fund currently has one distinct series of shares of beneficial

respect to the Class C Shares of the above-referenced Series and of such other
Series as may hereafter be designated by the Board and have Class C Shares
