                                 PROXY STATEMENT
                                ----------------

          ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON JANUARY 15, 2004

     This proxy statement is furnished to the shareholders of Investment Grade
Municipal Income Fund Inc. (the "Fund") in connection with the board of
directors' solicitation of proxies to be used at the annual meeting of
shareholders of the Fund to be held on January 15, 2004, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern
time, on the 16th Floor of the CBS Building located at 51 West 52nd Street, New
York, New York 10019-6114, or any adjournment or adjournments thereof. This
proxy statement and the related proxy card will first be mailed to shareholders
on or about November 28, 2003.

     A majority of the shares outstanding on November 21, 2003, represented in
person or by proxy, must be present for the transaction of business at the
meeting. In the event that a quorum is not present at the annual meeting
(including a quorum of the Fund's auction preferred shares ("APS") with respect
to the election of the two directors to be elected by the APS), or if a quorum
is present at the annual meeting but sufficient votes to approve any of the
proposals are not received, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more
adjournments of the annual meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies.
Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those
shares represented at the annual meeting in person or by proxy. The persons
named as proxies will vote those proxies which they are entitled to vote FOR any
such proposal in favor of such an adjournment and will vote those proxies marked
WITHHOLD on any such proposal against such adjournment. A shareholder vote may
be taken on one or more of the proposals in this proxy statement prior to any
such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received and it is otherwise
appropriate.

     Broker non-votes are shares held in street name for which the broker
indicates that instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or
other persons entitled to vote and for which the broker does not have
discretionary voting authority. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted
as shares present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present but
will not be voted for or against any adjournment or proposal. Accordingly,
abstentions and broker non-votes effectively will be a vote against adjournment
but will have no effect on Proposals 1 and 3, for which the required vote is a
plurality of the votes cast on the matter.

     Except as otherwise indicated herein, all of the outstanding shares of the
Fund's common stock and APS will vote together as a single class. Each full
share of the Fund's common stock or APS is entitled to one vote, and each
fractional share of the Fund's common stock or APS is entitled to a
proportionate share of one vote. However, as described below in connection with
Proposals 1 and 3, the holders of the APS, voting as a separate class, are
entitled to elect two of the Fund's directors.

     The individuals named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card will vote in
accordance with your direction as indicated thereon if your proxy card is
received properly executed by you or by your duly appointed agent or
attorney-in-fact. With respect to the holders of the APS, if you give no voting
instructions, your shares will be voted FOR the eight nominees for director
named herein and, in the proxies' discretion, either FOR or AGAINST any other
business that may properly arise at the annual meeting. With respect to the
holders of the Fund's common stock, if you give no voting instructions, your



shares will be voted FOR the six nominees for director named herein for which
the holders of the common stock are entitled to vote and, in the proxies'
discretion, either FOR or AGAINST any other business that may properly arise at
the annual meeting. You may revoke any proxy card by giving another proxy or by
submitting a written notice of revocation to the Fund's Secretary at 51 West
52nd Street, New York, New York 10019-6114. To be effective, your revocation
must be received by the Fund prior to the meeting and must indicate your name
and account number. In addition, if you attend the annual meeting in person you
may, if you wish, vote by ballot at the meeting, thereby cancelling any proxy
previously given.

     As of the record date, November 21, 2003, the Fund had outstanding
10,356,667 shares of common stock and 1,600 shares of the APS, representing 800
Series A shares and 800 Series B shares. The solicitation of proxies, the cost
of which will be borne by the Fund, will be made primarily by mail but also may
include telephone or oral communications by regular employees of UBS Global
Asset Management (US) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") or UBS Financial Services Inc., who
will not receive any compensation therefor from the Fund. Management does not
know of any person who owns beneficially 5% or more of the shares of the Fund.

     UBS Global AM serves as the Fund's investment advisor and administrator.
UBS Global AM is an indirect wholly owned asset management subsidiary of UBS AG.
UBS AG is an international diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich,
Switzerland. UBS AG operates in many areas of the financial services industry.
The principal business offices of UBS Global AM are located at 51 West 52nd
Street, New York, New York 10019-6114. The principal business address of UBS AG
is Bahnhofstrasse 45, Zurich, Switzerland.

     The Fund's annual report containing financial statements for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2003, is being mailed to shareholders concurrently with
this proxy statement.


                    PROPOSALS 1 AND 3. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     Proposals 1 and 3 relate to the election of directors of the Fund.
Management proposes the election of the eight nominees named in the table below.
Each nominee has indicated his or her willingness to serve if elected. If
elected, each nominee will hold office until the next annual meeting of
shareholders or until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until he
or she resigns or is otherwise removed. Each of the nominees, except for Mr.
Storms, was last elected director at the Fund's January 2003 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders. Mr. Storms was appointed a director by the current board effective
June 30, 2003, and is being nominated for election by shareholders at the
January 2004 Annual Meeting. Mr. Storms previously served as a director of the
Fund from 1999 to 2001.

     Holders of the outstanding shares of the APS, voting as a separate class,
are entitled to elect two of the Fund's directors. Margo N. Alexander and Meyer
Feldberg have been nominated as the directors that are to be elected solely by
holders of the APS. The other six directors will be elected by holders of both
the outstanding common stock and APS, voting together as a single class. Richard
Q. Armstrong, David J. Beaubien, Richard R. Burt, Carl W. Schafer, Brian M.
Storms and William D. White have been nominated as the directors that are to be
elected by all common stock and APS holders. Unless you give contrary
instructions on the enclosed proxy card: if you are a holder of the APS, your
APS shares will be voted FOR the election of all eight nominees; and, if you are
a holder of the common stock, your shares of common stock will be voted FOR the
six nominees that are to be elected by all common stock and APS holders. If any
of the nominees should withdraw or otherwise become unavailable for election,
your shares will be voted FOR such other nominee or nominees as management may
recommend.

                                        2


     Directors, including those who are not "interested persons" of the Fund as
that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940
Act") ("Independent Directors"), shall be elected by the affirmative vote of the
holders of a plurality of the shares of the Fund cast in person or by proxy and
entitled to vote thereon, provided a quorum is present. Proxies cannot be voted
for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named. None of the
current directors and executive officers (17 persons) beneficially owned any
shares of the Fund's common stock or APS on October 31, 2003.

     Listed in the table below, for each nominee, is a brief description of the
nominee's experience as a director of the Fund and as a director or trustee of
other funds, as well as other recent professional experience.

ended September 30, 2003. Each director attended 75% or more of the board
meetings during the last fiscal year. The board has established an Audit and
Contract Review Committee that acts pursuant to a written charter and is
responsible for, among other things: (i) overseeing the scope of the Fund's
audit; (ii) overseeing the Fund's accounting and financial reporting policies,
practices and internal controls; (iii) approving and recommending to the Board
for ratification, the selection, appointment, retention or termination of the
Fund's independent auditors, as well as determining the compensation thereof;
and (iv) reviewing the performance by certain of the Fund's service providers of
their contracts and arrangements with the Fund. A copy of the charter is
attached as Exhibit A. In fulfilling its duties, the Audit and Contract Review
Committee has: (a) reviewed and discussed the Fund's audited financial
statements with management; (b) discussed with the independent auditors the
matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61; (c)
received certain written disclosures and the letter from the independent
auditors required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 and discussed
the independent auditors' independence with them; and (d) based upon its review
of the above, recommended to the board that the Fund's audited financial
statements be included in the Fund's annual report to shareholders for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2003. The Audit and Contract Review Committee
currently consists of Messrs. Armstrong, Beaubien, Burt, Feldberg, Schafer and
White, none of whom have any relationship to the Fund that may interfere with
the exercise of their independence from management or the Fund and each of whom
is independent as defined under the listing standards of the New York Stock
Exchange. Each member of the Fund's Audit and Contract Review Committee is also
a member of a similar committee established by the boards of certain other
investment companies for which UBS Global AM or an affiliate serves as
investment advisor, sub-advisor or manager. The Audit and Contract Review
Committee met five times during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, and
each member attended those meetings.

     The board has also established a Nominating Committee that acts pursuant to
a written charter. The Nominating Committee is responsible for selecting and
nominating for consideration by the full Board candidates to be considered for
election/appointment as additional Independent Directors of the Board. The
Nominating Committee currently consists of Messrs. Feldberg, Schafer and White.
The Nominating Committee did not meet during the fiscal year ended September 30,
2003. The Nominating Committee will consider nominees recommended by
shareholders if a vacancy occurs. In order to recommend a nominee, a shareholder
should send a letter to the chairperson of the Nominating Committee, Mr. Meyer
Feldberg, care of the Secretary of the Fund at 51 West 52nd Street, New York,
New York 10019-6114 and indicate on the envelope "Nominating Committee." The
shareholder's letter should state the nominee's name and should include the
nominee's resume or curriculum vitae. The board does not have a standing
compensation committee.

     Each Independent Director receives, in the aggregate from the UBS Global AM
funds, an annual retainer of $50,000 and a $10,000 fee for each regular board
meeting (and each in-person special board meeting) actually attended. Each such
board member is also entitled to a $2,000 fee for each special telephonic
meeting attended. The chairperson of the Audit and Contract Review Committee
receives annually $12,500. Until recently, the chairperson of the Nominating
Committee received annually $5,000; however, effective June 30, 2003, this
additional compensation for the chairperson of the Nominating Committee ceased.
The foregoing fees will be allocated among all such funds (or each relevant fund
in the case of a special meeting) as follows: (i) one-half of the expense will
be allocated pro rata based on the funds' relative net assets at the end of the
calendar quarter preceding the date of payment and (ii) one-half of the expense
will be allocated according to the number of such funds (i.e., expense divided
by number of


                                        6


funds yields per fund allocation). No officer, director or employee of UBS
Global AM or one of its affiliates presently receives any compensation from the
Fund for acting as a board member or officer.

     Each director who has attained the age of seventy-two (72) years will be
subject to retirement on the last day of the month in which he or she attains
such age. The table below includes certain information relating to the
compensation of the Fund's directors.

                   INFORMATION CONCERNING INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

     The Fund's financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2003, were audited by Ernst & Young LLP ("Ernst & Young"), independent auditors.
In addition, Ernst & Young prepares the Fund's federal and state annual income
tax returns and provides certain non-audit services. The Audit and Contract
Review Committee has considered whether the provision of those non-audit
services is compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young's independence. The board
of directors of the Fund has selected Ernst & Young as the independent auditors
for the Fund for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2004. Ernst & Young has
been the Fund's independent auditors since July 25, 2001. Ernst & Young has
informed the Fund that it has no material direct or indirect financial interest
in the Fund.

     Representatives of Ernst & Young are not expected to be present at the
meeting but have been given the opportunity to make a statement if they so
desire and will be available should any matter arise requiring their presence.

     An initial report under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 was not timely filed for Mr. Varnas. This delayed report did not involve

                  AUDIT AND CONTRACT REVIEW COMMITTEE CHARTER

                    AMENDED AND RESTATED AS OF MAY 8, 2003

ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE

     This document serves as the Charter for the Audit and Contract Review
Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of each fund (the "Fund") advised by
UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc. ("UBS Global") listed on Appendix A hereto
(each such Charter being a separate Charter). The primary purposes of the
Committee are to (a) oversee the scope of the Fund's audit, the quality and
objectivity of the Fund's financial statements, the Fund's accounting and
financial reporting policies and practices and its internal controls and, as
appropriate, the internal controls of certain service providers; (b) approve,
and recommend to the Board, for ratification, the selection, appointment,
retention or termination of the Fund's independent auditors, as well as
determining the compensation thereof; (c) pre-approve all audit and non-audit
services provided to the Fund and certain other persons by such independent
auditors; and (d) review the performance by certain service providers and
approve their contracts and arrangements with the Fund.

     With respect to its contract review function, the Committee will consider
the performance of UBS Global, the Fund's adviser, administrator and
distributor(1); the Fund's sub-advisors, if any; and, as deemed necessary or
appropriate by the Committee, any other service providers. The Committee will
determine whether compensation paid by the Fund pursuant to its contracts and
arrangements is reasonable and appropriate in light of the nature and quality of
the services rendered.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

AUDIT OVERSIGHT

     The Fund's independent auditors are accountable to the Committee.

     The Committee shall:

     1.   Approve, and recommend to the Board for the Board's ratification, the
          selection, appointment, retention or termination of the Fund's
          independent auditors, or of any other public accounting firm engaged
          for the purpose of performing other audit, review or attest services
          for the Fund.

     2.   Pre-approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services(2) to be
          provided to the Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be
          provided by the Fund's independent auditors to

----------
(1)   Open-end Funds only.

(2)   The Committee will not approve non-audit services that the Committee
      believes may taint the independence of the auditors. Currently,
      permissible non-audit services include any professional services
      (including tax services) that are not prohibited services as described
      below, provided to the Fund by the independent auditors, other than those
      provided to the Fund in connection with an audit or a review of the
      financial statements of the Fund. Permissible non-audit services may not
      include: (i) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting
      records or financial statements of the Fund; (ii) financial information
      systems design and implementation; (iii) appraisal or valuation services,
      fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial
      services; (v) internal audit outsourcing services; (vi) management
      functions or human resources; (vii) broker or dealer, investment adviser
      or investment banking services; (viii) legal services and expert services
      unrelated to the audit; and (ix) any other service the Public Company
      Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.


                                       A-1


          UBS Global and any Covered Service Providers, if the engagement
          relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the
          Fund. In carrying out this responsibility, the Committee shall seek
          periodically from UBS Global and from the independent auditors a list
          of such audit and permissible non-audit services that can be expected
          to be rendered to the Fund, UBS Global or any Covered Service
          Providers by the Fund's independent auditors, and an estimate of the
          fees sought to be paid in connection with such services. The Committee
          may delegate its responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and
          permissible non-audit services to a sub-committee consisting of the
          Chairperson of the Committee and two other members of the Committee as
          the Chairperson, from time to time, may determine and appoint, and
          such sub-committee shall report to the Committee, at its next
          regularly scheduled meeting after the sub-committee's meeting, its
          decision(s). From year to year, the Committee shall report to the
          Board whether this system of pre-approval has been effective and
          efficient or whether this Charter should be amended to allow for
          pre-approval pursuant to such policies and procedures as the Committee
          shall approve, including the delegation of some or all of the
          Committee's pre-approval responsibilities to other persons (other than
          UBS Global or the Fund's officers).

     3.   Discuss with the independent auditors any disclosed relationships or
          services that may diminish the objectivity and independence of the
          independent auditors; receive periodic reports from the independent
          auditors regarding the independent auditors' independence (including
          receiving the independent auditors' specific representations as to
          independence consistent with current statements of the Independence
          Standards Board); and discuss such reports with the independent
          auditors, and, if so determined by the Committee, recommend that the
          Board take appropriate action to ensure the independence of the
          independent auditors.

     4.   Review, in consultation with the independent auditors, the scope of
          the Fund's proposed audit each year, including the audit procedures to
          be utilized, and certain other matters in connection with the Fund's
          financial statements.

     5.   Inquire of UBS Global and the independent auditors as to the Fund's
          qualification under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and
          amounts distributed and reported to shareholders for Federal tax
          purposes.

     6.   Review with the independent auditors any problems or difficulties the
          auditors may have encountered during the conduct of the audit,
          relating to the conduct of the audit, including any matters required
          to be discussed pursuant to Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61, or
          any subsequent Statement.

     7.   Ensure that the independent auditors submit on a periodic basis to the
          Committee a formal written statement delineating all relationships of
          the auditors consistent with Independence Standards Board Standard No.
          1, or any subsequent Statement.

----------
   Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not
   required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible
   non-audit services provided to the Fund, UBS Global and any service providers
   controlling, controlled by or under common control with UBS Global that
   provide ongoing services to the Fund ("Covered Service Providers")
   constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the
   independent auditors (during the fiscal year in which the permissible
   non-audit services are provided) by (a) the Fund, (b) its investment adviser
   and (c) any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with
   the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund during the
   fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be approved
   by the Committee; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized
   by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii)
   such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and
   approved by the Committee (or its delegate(s)) prior to the completion of the
   audit.


                                       A-2


     8.   Review, in consultation, as appropriate, with the independent auditors
          and Fund service providers, matters relating to internal controls and
          disclosure controls and procedures at the Fund and at the Fund's
          service providers.

     9.   Request, receive and/or review from the independent auditors such
          other materials as deemed necessary or advisable by the Committee in
          the exercise of its duties under this charter; such materials may
          include, without limitation, any other material written communications
          bearing on the Fund's financial statements, or internal or disclosure
          controls, between the independent auditors and the Fund, UBS Global,
          the Fund's sub-adviser(s), if any, or other Fund service providers,
          such as any management letter or schedule of unadjusted differences,
          and any comment or "deficiency" letter received from a regulatory or
          self-regulatory organization addressed to the Fund, UBS Global or the
          Fund's sub-adviser(s), if any, that relates to services rendered to
          the Fund.

     10.  [Closed-end Funds only] Establish procedures for the receipt,
          retention and treatment of complaints that the Fund may receive
          regarding Fund accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing
          matters, including procedures for the confidential, anonymous
          submission by Fund officers or employees or Fund service providers of
          concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters related
          to the Fund.

     11.  Request that the independent auditors report to the Committee on any
          unusual items or matters discovered during the course of any
          semi-annual or other reviews.

     12.  [Closed-end Funds only] Consider and, if appropriate, recommend the
          publication of the Fund's annual audited financial statements in the
          Fund's annual report in advance of the printing and publication of the
          annual report, based on its review and discussions of such annual
          report with the independent auditors, the Fund's officers and UBS
          Global.

     13.  Review and reassess the adequacy of this Charter annually and
          recommend any proposed changes to the Board for approval.

CONTRACT REVIEW

     1.   Request such information as is deemed relevant by the Committee
          regarding the performance of each of the contracts and arrangements
          required to be reviewed and approved by the Board.

     2.   Review all information and data provided by the service providers in
          connection with their performance of these contracts and arrangements.

     3.   Meet with such representatives of the service providers as the
          Committee deems necessary.

     4.   Make recommendations to the Board concerning the initial approval
          and/or continuation of each of the proposed contracts and arrangements
          and the reasonableness and appropriateness of the proposed fees.

     5.   Consider such other matters as the Committee may deem appropriate in
          carrying out the above responsibilities and any other matters that may
          be assigned to it by the Board.

     In performing its duties, the Committee shall be provided by UBS Global,
the Fund's sub-advisor(s), if any, or the Fund, as applicable, with such
information, data and services as the Committee shall request to discharge its
duties and responsibilities, shall consult as it deems appropriate with the
members of the Board, officers and employees of the Fund, UBS Global, the Fund's
sub-advisor(s), if any, the Fund's counsel and the Fund's other service
providers and, as it determines necessary to carry out its duties and at


                                       A-3


the Fund's expense, may engage outside advisors and consultants. The Fund shall
provide appropriate funding for the Committee to carry out its duties and
responsibilities.

COMPOSITION

     The Committee shall be composed of each Board member who has been
determined not to be an "interested person," as that term is defined in Section
2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), of the
Fund (the "Independent Board Members"). Each member of the Committee must also
meet the independence and experience requirements as set forth in Section
303.01(b)(2)(a) of the New York Stock Exchange's Listed Company Manual. The
Committee shall elect a chairperson, who shall preside over Committee meetings
(the "Chairperson"). The Chairperson shall serve for a term of three years,
which term may be renewed from time to time.(3)

     In addition, the Board shall use its best efforts to ensure that at least
one member of the Committee is an "audit committee financial expert," as
determined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Appendix B
sets forth the audit committee financial expert requirements as of the date of
this amended and restated Charter. In the event that the Committee does not have
at least one such audit committee financial expert, the nominating committee of
the Board shall endeavor to identify and recommend to the Board a candidate that
meets such requirements or, in the event the Board does not, at such time, have
a nominating committee, the Board shall designate the Independent Board Members
as a committee to identify and recommend to the Board a candidate that meets
such requirements.

MEETINGS

     The Committee shall meet on a regular basis, but not less frequently than
twice a year. Special meetings may also be held upon reasonable notice to the
members of the Committee. An agenda shall be established for each meeting.
Additional meetings shall be called as circumstances require. The Committee may
request any officer or employee of the Fund, the Fund's counsel, UBS Global, the
Fund's sub-adviser(s), if any, the Fund's independent auditors or other
interested persons to attend a meeting of the Committee or to meet with any
members of, or consultants to, the Committee. The Committee will meet with the
Fund's independent auditors at least once a year outside the presence of the
Fund's officers and other parties. The Committee may, in its discretion, also
meet outside the presence of the Fund's officers and other parties at other
times. Meetings of the Committee may be held in person, by telephone or by other
appropriate means.

     One-third of the Committee's members shall constitute a quorum. At any
meeting of the Committee, the decision of a majority of the members present and
voting shall be determinative as to any matter submitted to a vote.

REPORTING

     The Chairperson shall report to the Board on the result of its
deliberations and make such recommendations as deemed appropriate.

LIMITS ON ROLE OF COMMITTEE

     While the Committee has the duties and responsibilities set forth in this
Charter, the Committee is not responsible for planning or conducting the Fund's
audit or for determining whether the Fund's financial

----------
(3)   In the case of a newly-organized UBS fund, the Chairperson's term will be
      coterminous with those of the other UBS funds listed on Schedule A, even
      if such term is shorter than three years.


                                       A-4


statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. In fulfilling their responsibilities hereunder,
it is recognized that the members of the Committee are not full-time employees
of the Fund, it is not the duty or the responsibility of the Committee or its
members to conduct "field work" or other types of auditing or accounting reviews
or procedures or to set auditor independence standards, and each member of the
Committee shall be entitled to rely on (a) the integrity of those persons within
and outside the Fund from which it receives information; (b) the accuracy of the
financial and other information provided to the Committee absent actual
knowledge to the contrary (which shall be promptly reported to the Board); and
(c) statements made by the officers and employees of the Fund, UBS Global or
other third parties as to any information technology, internal audit and other
non-audit services provided by the independent auditors to the Fund. The review
of the Fund's financial statements by the Committee is not of the same quality
as the audit performed by the independent auditors.

     In carrying out its responsibilities, the Committee's policies and
procedures shall be adapted, as appropriate, in order to best react to a
changing environment.

AMENDMENTS

     This Charter may be amended by a vote of a majority of the Board members.
