REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Members and Board of Directors of
UBS Technology Partners, L.L.C.
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities and members' capital of UBS Technology
Partners, L.L.C. (the "Fund"), including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2010,
and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes
in members' capital for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for
each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are
the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were
not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits
included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and the
disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
Our procedures included confirmation of investments in investment funds as of December 31, 2010, by
correspondence with management of the underlying investment funds. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of UBS Technology Partners, L.L.C. at December 31, 2010, the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its members' capital
for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years
in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DECEMBER 31, 2010
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION
UBS Technology Partners, L.L.C. (the "Fund") was initially organized as a limited partnership under the
laws of Delaware on December 28, 1998, commenced operations on April 1, 1999 and was subsequently
reorganized as a limited liability company effective October 15, 2002. The Fund is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a closed-end, non-diversified,
management investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to maximize capital appreciation over
the long-term. The Fund pursues its investment objective by deploying its assets primarily among a
select group of portfolio managers who invest primarily in, or who have particular knowledge within,
the technology sector. Generally, such portfolio managers conduct their investment programs through
unregistered investment funds (collectively, the "Investment Funds") in which the Fund invests as a
limited partner or member along with other investors.
The Fund's Board of Directors (the "Directors") have overall responsibility to manage and control the
business affairs of the Fund, including the exclusive authority to oversee and to establish policies
regarding the management, conduct and operation of the Fund's business.
As of September 30, 2010, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Directors have
engaged UBS Alternative and Quantitative Investments LLC ("UBS A&Q", the "Manager" and when providing
services under the Administration Agreement, the "Administrator"), a Delaware limited liability
company, to provide investment advice regarding the selection of Investment Funds and to be responsible
for the day-to-day management of the Fund. UBS A&Q is a wholly owned subsidiary of UBS AG and is
registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. In addition
to the assignment of responsibilities, the capital balance as of September 30, 2010 was transferred
from UBSFA (defined below) to UBS A&Q.
Prior to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Directors had engaged UBS Fund Advisor, L.L.C.
("UBSFA"), a Delaware limited liability company, in the roles of Manager and Administrator. UBSFA is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of UBS Americas, Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of UBS AG and is
registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.
Initial and additional applications for interests by eligible investors may be accepted at such times
as the Directors may determine and are generally accepted monthly. The Directors reserve the right to
reject any application for interests in the Fund.
The Fund from time to time may offer to repurchase interests pursuant to written tenders to members
(the "Members"). These repurchases will be made at such times and on such terms as may be determined by
the Directors, in their complete and exclusive discretion. The Manager expects that generally, it will
recommend to the Directors that the Fund offer to repurchase interests from

1. ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)
Members twice each year, near mid-year and year-end. Members can only transfer or assign their
membership interests, or a portion thereof, (i) by operation of law pursuant to the death, bankruptcy,
insolvency or dissolution of a Member, or (ii) with the written approval of the Directors, which may be
withheld in their sole and absolute discretion. Such transfers may be made even if the balance of the
capital account to such transferee is equal to or less than the transferor's initial capital
contribution.
2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Codification Accounting
Standards Update No. 2010-06, IMPROVING DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS ("ASU 2010-06"). ASU
2010-06 amends Topic 820, FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURES to add new requirements for
disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2, and separate disclosures about purchases,
sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. This update also clarifies existing
fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation for the classes of assets and liabilities and
the disclosures about the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. ASU 2010-06 is
effective for the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009 and for periods
beginning after December 15, 2010 for the new Level 3 disclosures. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 new
disclosures and clarification of existing disclosures did not have a material impact on the Fund's
financial statements.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. PORTFOLIO VALUATION
The Fund values its investments at fair value, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"), which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of the Fund's investments which are summarized in
the three broad levels listed below.
LEVEL 1-- quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
LEVEL 2-- fair value of investments in Investment Funds with the ability to redeem at net asset value
as of the measurement date, or within one year of the measurement date
LEVEL 3-- fair value of investments in Investment Funds that do not have the ability to redeem at net
asset value within one year of the measurement date

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
A. PORTFOLIO VALUATION (CONTINUED)
The Fund recognizes transfers into and out of the levels indicated above at the end of the reporting
period. All transfers into and out of Level 3 can be found in the Level 3 reconciliation table within
the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.
GAAP provides guidance in determining whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and
level of activity for an asset or liability when compared with normal market activity for such asset or
liability (or similar assets or liabilities). GAAP also provides guidance on identifying circumstances
that indicate a transaction with regards to such an asset or liability is not orderly. In its
consideration, the Fund must consider inputs and valuation techniques used for each class of assets and
liabilities. Judgment is used to determine the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities for which
disclosures about fair value measurements are provided. Fair value measurement disclosures for each
class of assets and liabilities requires greater disaggregation than the Fund's line items in the
Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Members' Capital. The Fund determines the appropriate classes for
those disclosures on the basis of the nature and risks of the assets and liabilities and their
classification in the fair value hierarchy (i.e., Levels 1, 2, and 3).
For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the period, the Fund
provides quantitative disclosures about the fair value measurements separately for each class of assets
and liabilities, as well as a reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of Level 3 assets and
liabilities broken down by class.
The following is a summary of the investment strategy and any restrictions on the liquidity provisions
of the investments in Investment Funds held in the Fund as of December 31, 2010. Investment Funds with
no current redemption restrictions may be subject to future gates, lock-up provisions or other
restrictions, in accordance with their offering documents. The Fund had no unfunded capital commitments
as of December 31, 2010.
The Investment Funds in the long/short equity strategy invest in both long and short equity strategies
are primarily in common stocks focused in the technology sector. The management of these Investment
Funds has the ability to shift investments from value to growth strategies, from small to large
capitalization common stocks, and from a net long position to a net short position. Investment Funds
within this strategy are generally subject to a 30 - 90 day redemption notice period. The Investment
Funds within this strategy have either initial redemption dates commencing in the future (13 percent)
or are available to be redeemed with no restrictions (87 percent), subject to the Investment Funds'
liquidity terms, as of the measurement date.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
A. PORTFOLIO VALUATION (CONTINUED)
A detailed depiction of each investment in the portfolio by investment strategy, including any
additional liquidity terms and other restrictions, as well as a breakdown of the portfolio into the
fair value measurement levels, can be found in the tables within the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.
Net asset value of the Fund is determined by or at the direction of the Manager as of the close of
business at the end of any fiscal period in accordance with the valuation principles set forth below or
as may be determined from time to time pursuant to policies established by the Directors. The Fund's
investments in Investment Funds are subject to the terms and conditions of the respective operating
agreements and offering memorandums, as appropriate. The Fund's investments in Investment Funds are
carried at fair value. All valuations utilize financial information supplied by each Investment Fund
and are net of management and performance incentive fees or allocations payable to the Investment
Funds' managers or pursuant to the Investment Funds' agreements. The Fund's valuation procedures
require the Manager to consider all relevant information available at the time the Fund values its
portfolio. The Manager has assessed factors including, but not limited to the individual Investment
Funds' compliance with fair value measurements, price transparency and valuation procedures in place,
and subscription and redemption activity. The Manager and/or the Directors will consider such
information and consider whether it is appropriate, in light of all relevant circumstances, to value
such a position at its net asset value as reported or whether to adjust such value. The underlying
investments of each Investment Fund are accounted for at fair value as described in each Investment
Fund's financial statements. (See Schedule of Portfolio Investments).
The fair value relating to certain underlying investments of these Investment Funds, for which there is
no ready market, has been estimated by the respective Investment Funds' management and is based upon
available information in the absence of readily ascertainable fair values and does not necessarily
represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation,
those estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a
ready market for the investments existed. These differences could be material.
It is unknown on an aggregate basis whether the Investment Funds held any investments whereby the
Fund's proportionate share exceeded 5% of the Fund's net assets at December 31, 2010.
The fair value of the Fund's assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments approximates
the carrying amounts presented in the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Members' Capital.

B. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
The Fund accounts for realized gains and losses from Investment Fund transactions based on the pro-rata
ratio of the fair value and cost of the underlying investment at the date of redemption. Interest
income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.
C. FUND EXPENSES
The Fund bears all expenses incurred in its business, including, but not limited to, the following: all
costs and expenses related to portfolio transactions and positions for the Fund's account; legal fees;
accounting and auditing fees; custodial fees; costs of computing the Fund's net asset value; costs of
insurance; registration expenses; offering and organization costs; due diligence, including travel and
related expenses; expenses of meetings of Directors; all costs with respect to communications to
Members; and other types of expenses approved by the Directors.
D. INCOME TAXES
The Fund has reclassified $3,073,848 and $11,642,167 from accumulated net investment loss and
accumulated net realized gain from investments in Investment Funds, respectively, to net capital
contributions during the year ended December 31, 2010. The reclassification was to reflect, as an
adjustment to net contributions, the amount of estimated taxable income or loss that have been
allocated to the Fund's Members as of December 31, 2010 and had no effect on members' capital.
The Fund files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and applicable states. Management
has analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on its federal and state income tax returns for all open
tax years, and has concluded that no provision for federal or state income tax is required in the
Fund's financial statements. The Fund's federal and state income tax returns for tax years for which
the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal
Revenue Service and state departments of revenue. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any,
related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. For the year
ended December 31, 2010, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each Member is individually required to report on its own tax return its distributive share of the
Fund's taxable income or loss.
E. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents consist of monies invested in a PFPC Trust Company account which pays money
market rates and are accounted for at cost plus accrued interest which is included in interest

receivable on the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Members' Capital. Such cash, at times, may
exceed federally insured limits. The Fund has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not
believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on such accounts.
F. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases
and decreases in members' capital from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
UBS A&Q provides certain management and administrative services to the Fund, including, among other
things, providing office space and other support services. In consideration for such services, the Fund
pays UBS A&Q a monthly management fee (the "Management Fee") at an annual rate of 1% of the Fund's
members' capital, excluding the capital account attributable to the Manager. The Management Fee is paid
to UBS A&Q out of the Fund's assets and debited against the Members' capital accounts, excluding the
Manager's capital account. A portion of the Management Fee is paid by UBS A&Q to its affiliates.
UBS Financial Services Inc. ("UBS FSI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UBS Americas, Inc., acts as a
placement agent for the Fund, without special compensation from the Fund, and bears its own costs
associated with its activities as placement agent. Placement fees, if any, charged on contributions are
debited against the contribution amounts, to arrive at a net subscription amount. The placement fee
does not constitute assets of the Fund.
The net increase or decrease in members' capital derived from operations (net income or loss) is
initially allocated to the capital accounts of all Members on a pro-rata basis, other than the
Management Fee which is similarly allocated to all Members other than the Manager as described above.
In accordance with the Limited Liability Company Agreement, the Manager is then allocated an amount
based on the performance of the Fund (the "Performance Bonus") for the Measurement Period, as defined
in the Confidential Memorandum (i.e., the period commencing on the admission of a Member to the Fund,
and thereafter each period commencing on the day following the last Measurement Period and ending
generally on the first to occur of (1) a fiscal year-end or (2) a whole or partial redemption). The
Performance Bonus is calculated separately with respect to each Member.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
The Performance Bonus is equal to 1% of the balance of the Member's capital account at the end of the
Measurement Period, provided that appreciation in the Member's capital account (net of any Performance
Bonus) exceeds the Member's threshold return. The threshold return is the amount that a Member would
have earned for a fiscal year if it had received an annualized rate of return of 20% on its opening
capital account balance, as adjusted. No Performance Bonus was earned for the year ended December 31,
2010 or for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Each Director of the Fund receives an annual retainer of $7,500 plus a fee for each meeting attended.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors each receive an additional annual retainer in the amounts of $10,000 and $15,000,
respectively. These additional annual retainer amounts are paid for by the Fund on a pro-rata basis
with ten other UBS funds where UBS A&Q is the investment adviser. All Directors are reimbursed by the
Fund for all reasonable out of pocket expenses.
Other investment partnerships sponsored by UBS Americas or its affiliates may also maintain investment
interests in the Investment Funds owned by the Fund.
5. ADMINISTRATION AND CUSTODY FEES
PFPC Trust Company (the "Custodian"), which will be renamed BNY Mellon Investment Servicing Trust
Company effective July 1, 2011, provides custodial services for the Fund. The Custodian entered into a
service agreement whereby PFPC Trust provides securities clearance functions, as needed.
On July 1, 2010, the PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. sold the outstanding stock of PNC Global
Investment Servicing Inc. to the Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. At the closing of the sale, PNC
Global Investment Servicing (U.S.), Inc. changed its name to BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc.
("BNY Mellon"). BNY Mellon serves as accounting and investor servicing agent to the Fund and in that
capacity provides certain administrative, accounting, record keeping, tax and Member related services.
BNY Mellon receives a monthly fee primarily based upon (i) the average members' capital of the Fund
subject to a minimum monthly fee, and (ii) the aggregate members' capital of the Fund and certain other
investment funds sponsored or advised by UBS AG, UBS Americas, Inc. or their affiliates. Additionally,
the Fund reimburses certain out of pocket expenses incurred by BNY Mellon.
Effective March 26, 2010, the Custodian and BNY Mellon have agreed to a fee reduction for reimbursement
of the Fund's line of credit commitment fees ("Fee Reduction") for a period of 364 days from November
1, 2010, the effective date of the Fund's line of credit agreement with State Street Bank and Trust
Company ("Initial Term"). Based on the methodology within the agreement,

5. ADMINISTRATION AND CUSTODY FEES (CONTINUED)
the Custodian and BNY Mellon have agreed to waive $34,800 for the Fund over the Initial Term. For the
period from November, 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010, the Custodian and BNY Mellon waived $1,200 and
$5,800, respectively, which is shown in aggregate as administration and custody fees waived on the
Statement of Operations.
6. LOAN PAYABLE
Effective November 1, 2010, the Fund, along with other UBS sponsored funds, entered into a one year,
$250,000,000 committed, secured revolving line of credit with State Street Bank and Trust Company. The
Fund is limited to $34,800,000 (the "Borrower Sublimit Amount") of the secured revolving line of credit
with a maximum borrowing limit of 15% of the Fund's Members' Capital. The interest rate on the
borrowing is the higher of (a) 1.50% above the Overnight LIBOR Rate and (b) 1.50% above the Federal
Funds Rate, in each case as in effect from time to time. There is a commitment fee payable by the Fund,
calculated at 25 basis points per annum of the Borrower Sublimit Amount not utilized.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund did not borrow under this secured revolving line of
credit.
7. INVESTMENTS
As of December 31, 2010, the Fund had investments in Investment Funds, none of which were related
parties.
Aggregate purchases and proceeds from sales of investment for the year ended December 31, 2010 amounted
to $84,186,795 and $41,112,842, respectively.
The cost of investments for federal income tax purposes is adjusted for items of taxable income
allocated to the Fund from the Investment Funds. The allocated taxable income is reported to the Fund
by the Investment Funds on Schedule K-1. The Fund has not yet received all such Schedule K-1's for the
year ended December 31, 2010; therefore, the tax basis of investments for 2010 will not be finalized by
the Fund until after the fiscal year end.
The agreements related to investments in Investment Funds provide for compensation to the general
partners/managers in the form of management fees of 1.00% to 2.00% (per annum) of net assets and
performance incentive fees or allocations ranging from 20.00% to 25.00% of net profits earned. Detailed
information about the Investment Funds' portfolios is not available.

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
In the normal course of business, the Investment Funds in which the Fund invests trade various
financial instruments and enter into various investment activities with off-balance sheet risk. These
include, but are not limited to, short selling activities, writing option contracts, contracts for
differences, and equity swaps. The Fund's risk of loss in these Investment Funds is limited to the fair
value of these investments.
9. INDEMNIFICATION
In the ordinary course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts or agreements that contain
indemnifications or warranties. Future events could occur that lead to the execution of these
provisions against the Fund. Based on its history and experience, the Fund believes that the likelihood
of such an event is remote.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
As of December 31, 2010, the Fund had $21,543,165 of withdrawals payable. On January 19, 2011, the Fund
paid $19,860,916. The remaining amount payable of $1,682,249 is scheduled to be paid in accordance with
the terms of the Fund's June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010 tender offers.

The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund's investments at fair value. The inputs or methodology used for
valuing the Fund's investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. The
Fund's valuation procedures require evaluation of all relevant factors available at the time the Fund values its portfolio. These
relevant factors include the individual Investment Funds' compliance with fair value measurements, price transparency and valuation
procedures in place, and subscription and redemption activity.
The Fund's investments are categorized in three levels as disclosed below. Level 1 discloses the amount of investments where the
values of those investments are based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 discloses the amount of
investments where the Fund has the ability to redeem at net asset value as of the December 31, 2010 measurement date, or within one
year of the measurement date. Level 3 discloses the amount of investments where the Fund does not have the ability to redeem at net
asset value within one year of the December 31, 2010 measurement date. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 at
December 31, 2010.

UBS TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS, L.L.C. (UNAUDITED)
The Directors (including the Independent Directors) last evaluated the Investment Advisory Agreement at a meeting on September
16, 2010. The Directors met in an executive session during which they were advised by and had the opportunity to discuss with
independent legal counsel the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Directors reviewed materials furnished by UBS Fund
Advisor, L.L.C. (the "Adviser"), including information regarding the Adviser, its affiliates and its personnel, operations and
financial condition. The Directors also reviewed information regarding UBS Alternative and Quantitative Investments LLC ("UBS A&Q"),
its affiliates and its personnel, operations and financial condition in light of the transition of management of the Fund from the
Adviser to UBS A&Q as of October 1, 2010. Tables indicating comparative fee information, and comparative performance information, as
well as a summary financial analysis for the Fund, were also included in the meeting materials and were reviewed and discussed. The
Directors discussed with representatives of the Adviser and UBS A&Q the Fund's operations and UBS A&Q's ability to provide advisory
and other services to the Fund.
The Directors reviewed, among other things, the nature of the advisory services to be provided to the Fund by UBS A&Q,
including its investment process, and the experience of the investment advisory and other personnel proposing to provide services to
the Fund. The Directors discussed the ability of UBS A&Q to manage the Fund's investments in accordance with the Fund's stated
investment objectives and policies, as well as the services to be provided by UBS A&Q to the Fund, including administrative and
compliance services, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements and
other services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Directors acknowledged UBS A&Q's employment of highly skilled investment
professionals, research analysts and administrative, legal and compliance staff members to ensure that a high level of quality in
compliance and administrative services would be provided to the Fund. The Directors also recognized the benefits which the Fund
derives from the resources available to UBS A&Q and UBS A&Q's affiliates, including UBS AG and UBS Financial Services Inc.
Accordingly, the Directors felt that the quality of service offered by the Adviser, and to be offered by UBS A&Q, to the Fund were
appropriate, and that UBS A&Q personnel had sufficient expertise to manage the Fund.
The Directors reviewed the performance of the Fund and compared that performance to the performance of other investment
companies presented by the Adviser which had objectives and strategies similar to those of the Fund and which are managed by other,
third-party investment advisers (the "Comparable Funds"). The Directors recognized that the Comparable Funds, private funds, are not
subject to certain investment restrictions under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that are applicable to the Fund of which can
adversely affect the Fund's performance relative to that of the Comparable Funds. The Directors observed that while the Fund's 2010
performance as of June 30, 2010 lagged the median performance of the Comparable Funds, it exceeded the median performance of the
relevant indexes (HFRI Sector: Technology Index, S&P 500 DRI, NASDAQ Composite Index and Morgan Stanley High Tech Index). The Board
also noted that the Fund's performance for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010 exceeded the median performance of
the relevant indexes. The Directors also compared the volatility of the Fund to that of the Comparable Funds. The Directors observed
that for the
three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2010, the Fund's volatility was below the median volatility of the Comparable Funds and
relevant indexes.
The Directors considered the advisory fees being charged by the Adviser for its services to the Fund as compared to those
charged to the Comparable Funds, and as compared to the advisory fees charged by the Adviser and its affiliates for other UBS
alternative investment products. The information presented to the Directors showed that the Fund's management fee was equal to the
median management fee of the Comparable Funds and that the Fund's incentive fee was below the median incentive fee of the Comparable
Funds. In comparing the advisory fees being charged to the Fund to the fees being charged by the Adviser and its affiliates for
other UBS alternative investment products, it was noted that the Fund's management fee was equal to the lowest management fee being
charged to the other multi-manager funds, although the Fund's incentive fee was above the median incentive of the multi-manager
funds. In light of the foregoing, the Directors felt that the combination of management fee and incentive fee being charged to the
Fund was appropriate and was within the overall range of the fees paid by the Comparable Funds and other relevant UBS alternative
investment products.
The Directors also considered the profitability to UBSFA or UBS A&Q, as the case may be, both before payment to brokers and
after payment to brokers and concluded that the profits to be realized by UBSFA or UBS A&Q, as the case may be, and their affiliates
under the Fund's Investment Advisory Agreement and from other relationships between the Fund and UBSFA or UBS A&Q, as the case may
be, were within a range the Directors considered reasonable and appropriate. The Directors also discussed the fact that the Fund was
not large enough at that time to support a request for breakpoints due to economies of scale. The Directors determined that the fees
under the Investment Advisory Agreement did not constitute fees that are so disproportionally large as to bear no reasonable
relationship to the services rendered and that could not have been the product of arm's length bargaining, and concluded that the
fees were reasonable. The Directors concluded that approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the
Fund and its investors.

ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END
MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
The Proxy Voting Policies are as follows:
UBSAQ
PROXY-VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
A. INTRODUCTION
UBSAQ votes proxies for each fund (each a "Fund," collectively, the
"Funds") for which it acts as the Adviser and as such, has adopted these
Proxy-Voting Policies and Procedures (these "Policies and Procedures"). The
Funds are funds of funds that invest primarily in unregistered investment
vehicles ("Investment Funds") which have investors other than the Fund.
Generally, each of the Funds may invest a majority of its assets in non-voting
securities of Investment Funds. The Investment Funds typically do not submit
matters to investors for vote; however, should a matter be submitted for vote
and provided the Fund holds voting interests in the Investment Fund, the Adviser
will vote proxies in what it views to be in the best interest of the Fund and in
accordance with these Policies and Procedures. The Board of Directors (the
"Board") of the Funds has adopted these Policies and Procedures as the Funds'.
The Adviser will notify the Board of any changes to the Adviser's Policies and
Procedures.
B. FIDUCIARY DUTY
Proxy-voting is an integral part of the Adviser's investment management
process. The Adviser is under a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of
the Fund(s) and to vote in a manner it believes to be consistent with efforts to
maximize shareholder value. This authority carries with it a responsibility on
the Adviser's part to analyze the issues connected with the votes and to
evaluate the probable impact of its vote on the value of the investment.
C. VOTING PROCEDURES
Generally speaking, where the Adviser holds voting rights, it will vote
consistent with management's recommendations on routine matters, absent a
particular reason to the contrary. Non-routine matters will be voted on a
case-by-case basis taking into consideration the best interests of the Fund(s)
and the maximization of shareholder value.
D. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Any circumstance or relationship which would compromise a portfolio
manager's objectivity in voting proxies in the best interest of the Fund(s)
would constitute a conflict of interest. In such situations, the Adviser will
address any material conflicts before voting proxies on behalf of the Fund(s).
As a matter of policy, the Adviser will presume the existence of a conflict of
interest for proxy-voting purposes in situations where:
- A current investor of the Adviser is affiliated with an Investment
Fund soliciting proxies or has communicated its view to the Adviser on
an impending proxy vote;
- The portfolio manager responsible for proxy-voting has identified a
personal interest in the Investment Fund soliciting proxies or in the
outcome of a shareholder vote;
Revised: June 26, 2006
Rebranded: 10/1/2010
- Members of the portfolio management team, including the portfolio
manager responsible for proxy-voting, and/or members of senior
management, have a personal interest through investment in the
Investment Fund soliciting proxies;
- Members of the Investment Fund or a third party with an interest in
the outcome of a shareholder vote have attempted to influence either
the Adviser or the portfolio manager responsible for voting a proxy.
Employees of the Adviser should be aware of the potential for conflicts of
interest that may result, on the part of the Adviser, from employees' personal
relationships or special circumstances that may result as part of the Adviser's
normal course of business. Employees who become aware of any such conflicts of
interest are under obligation to bring them to the attention of the Chief
Compliance Officer or Legal who will work with appropriate personnel of the
Adviser to determine the materiality of the conflict.
ADDRESSING MATERIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. A conflict of interest will be
considered material to the extent it is determined that such conflict has the
potential to influence the Adviser's decision-making in the proxy-voting process
and the determination will be based on an assessment of the particular facts and
circumstances. If it is determined that a conflict of interest is not material,
the Adviser may vote proxies notwithstanding the existence of the conflict. The
Adviser shall maintain a written record of all conflicts of interest identified,
the materiality determination, and the method used to resolve the material
conflict of interest.
If it is determined that a conflict of interest is material, the Adviser's Chief
Compliance Officer or Legal will work with appropriate personnel of the Adviser
to determine a resolution before voting proxies affected by such conflict of
interest. Resolutions may include:
- Disclosing the conflict and obtaining consent before voting (which
consent in the case of the Fund(s) may be obtained from the Fund's
board of directors);
- Engaging another party on behalf of the Fund(s) to vote the proxy on
its behalf;
- Engaging a third party to recommend a vote with respect to the proxy
based on application of the policies set forth herein; or
- Such other method as is deemed appropriate under the circumstances
given the nature of the conflict.
E. ANNUAL FILING OF PROXY VOTING RECORD
The Adviser will file an annual report of each proxy voted with respect to
the Fund(s) during the preceding twelve-month period ended June 30 on Form N-PX,
no later than August 31st of the then year.
F. PROXY-VOTING DISCLOSURES
Revised: June 26, 2006
Rebranded: 10/1/2010
Where the Funds hold voting rights, the Funds shall include in their Form
N-CSR (Certified Shareholder Report) : (i) a description of these Policies and
Procedures; (ii) a statement that a description of these Policies and Procedures
is available without charge, upon request by taking the specified action; and
(iii) a statement that information regarding how the Adviser voted proxies
relating to the Funds during the most recent 12-month period, is available upon
request, without charge by taking the specified action.
G. CONTROL PROCESS
To ensure compliance with these Policies and Procedures, at the time of a fund's
investment in an Investment Fund, the subscription document will be reviewed to
ensure that voting rights have been waived, as is current practice. In the event
a fund does not waive voting rights, the Adviser will adhere to these Policies
and Procedures.
H. RECORD-KEEPING
The Adviser shall maintain the following records relating to proxy-voting
in an easily accessible place for a period of not less than six years from the
end of the fiscal year during which the last entry was made on such record, the
first two years on-site:
- A copy of the Adviser's current Proxy-Voting Policies and Procedures;
- A record of each vote cast by the Adviser on behalf of the Fund(s);
- A copy of each proxy solicitation (including proxy statements) and
related materials with regard to each vote;
- A copy of any document relating to the identification and resolution
of conflicts of interest;
- A copy of any document created by the Adviser that was material to a
proxy - voting decision or that memorialized the basis for that
decision; and
- A copy of each written investor request for information on how the
Adviser voted proxies on behalf of the Fund(s), and a copy of any
written response from the Adviser to any (written or oral) investor
request for information on how the Adviser voted proxies on behalf of
the Fund(s).

ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
O'CONNOR FUND OF FUNDS: TECHNOLOGY LLC
PORTFOLIO MANAGER DISCLOSURE
The Fund is managed by a portfolio management team, each member of which (each,
a "Portfolio Manager" and together, the "Portfolio Managers") is responsible for
the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio. Norman E. Sienko, Jr., the
lead member of the portfolio management team, is primarily responsible for the
selection of the Fund's investments, and is jointly responsible for the
allocation of the Fund's assets among Investment Funds. Russell Sinder, Joseph
M. Sciortino and Matthew Woodbury, the other members of the portfolio management
team, are jointly and primarily responsible for the allocation of the Fund's
investments.
Mr. Sienko has served as a Portfolio Manager of the Fund since its inception. He
served as head of UBS Alternative Investments US' ("AI - US") portfolio
management group from 1998 to 2010, prior to his group joining UBS Alternative
and Quantitative Investments LLC, the Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser").
He is also currently an Executive Director of the Adviser. Mr. Sinder has been a
Portfolio Manager of the Fund since 2007. Mr. Sinder was associated with AI - US
from 1998 to 2010, prior to joining the Adviser, and is an Executive Director of
the Adviser. Mr. Sciortino joined the portfolio management team in 2007. He was
associated with AI - US from December 2006 to October 2010, prior to joining the
Adviser, and is a Director of the Adviser. Previously, Mr. Sinder served as
Senior Analyst at Lake Partners, Inc. from April 2001 through August 2006. Mr.
Woodbury was associated with AI - US from 2008 to 2010, prior to joining the
Adviser, and is a Director of the Adviser. Previously, he served as an Analyst
at Allianz Hedge Fund Partners, LP (2002-2008) and an Accountant at Arthur
Anderson LLP (1999-2002).
The Fund's Portfolio Managers manage multiple accounts for the Adviser,
including registered closed-end funds and private domestic and offshore pooled
investment vehicles.
Potential conflicts of interest may arise because of the Portfolio Managers'
management of the Fund and other accounts. For example, conflicts of interest
may arise with the allocation of investment transactions and allocation of
limited investment opportunities. Allocations of investment opportunities
generally could raise a potential conflict of interest to the extent that the
Portfolio Managers may have an incentive to allocate investments that are
expected to increase in value to preferred accounts. Conversely, a Portfolio
Manager could favor one account over another in the amount or the sequence in
which orders to redeem investments are placed. The Portfolio Managers may be
perceived to have a conflict of interest if there are a large number of other
accounts, in addition to the Fund, that they are managing on behalf of the
Adviser. In addition, each Portfolio Manager could be viewed as having a
conflict of interest to the extent that one or more Portfolio Managers have an
investment in accounts other than the Fund. The Adviser periodically reviews the
Portfolio Managers' overall responsibilities to ensure that they are able to
allocate the necessary time and resources to effectively manage the Fund.
Other accounts may have investment objectives, strategies and risks that differ
from those of the Fund. For these or other reasons, the Portfolio Managers may
purchase different investments for the Fund and the other accounts, and the
performance of investments purchased for the Fund may vary from the performance
of the investments purchased for other accounts. The Portfolio Managers may
place transactions on behalf of other accounts that are directly or indirectly
contrary to investment decisions made for the Fund, which could have the
potential to adversely impact the Fund, depending on market conditions.
A potential conflict of interest may be perceived if the Adviser receives a
performance-based advisory fee as to one account but not another, because a
Portfolio Manager may favor the account subject to the performance fee, whether
or not the performance of that account directly determines the Portfolio
Manager's compensation.
The Adviser's goal is to provide high quality investment services to all of its
clients, while meeting its fiduciary obligation to treat all clients fairly. The
Adviser has adopted and implemented policies and procedures, including brokerage
and trade allocation policies and procedures, that it believes address the
conflicts associated with managing multiple accounts for multiple clients. In
addition, the Adviser monitors a variety of areas, including compliance with
Fund guidelines. Furthermore, senior investment and business personnel of the
Adviser periodically review the performance of the Portfolio Managers.
The Portfolio Managers' compensation is comprised primarily of a fixed salary
and a discretionary bonus paid by the Adviser or its affiliates and not by the
Fund. A portion of the discretionary bonus may be paid in shares of stock or
stock options of UBS AG, the ultimate parent company of the Adviser, subject to
certain vesting periods. The amount of a Portfolio Manager's discretionary
bonus, and the portion to be paid in shares or stock options of UBS AG, is
determined by senior officers of the Adviser. In general, the amount of the
bonus will be based on a combination of factors, none of which is necessarily
weighted more than any other factor. These factors may include: the overall
performance of the Adviser; the overall performance of UBS AG; the profitability
to the Adviser derived from the management of the Fund and the other accounts
managed by the Adviser; the absolute performance of the Fund and such other
accounts for the preceding year; contributions by the Portfolio Manager to
assisting in managing the Adviser; participation by the Portfolio Manager in
training of personnel; and support by the Portfolio Manager generally to
colleagues. The bonus is not based on a precise formula, benchmark or other
metric.
The following table lists the number and types of other accounts advised by the
Fund's Portfolio Managers and approximate assets under management in those
accounts as of the end of the Fund's most recent fiscal year.
