The current Board of Trustees of the Trust (the "Board") recommends that shareholders of the Funds cast their votes "FOR" the election of each nominee.

A special meeting (the "Meeting") of the Funds' shareholders will be held on December 5, 2008 at the Trust's offices at One North Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606 at 10:30 a.m. (Central time), to consider this matter and to transact any other business that may be properly considered at the Meeting.

We have also attached a "Questions and answers" section that we hope will assist you in evaluating the proposal.

The UBS Funds

Voting information

Shareholders of record at the close of business on October 9, 2008 (the "Record Date") are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. Each whole share outstanding is entitled to one vote and each fractional share outstanding is entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. The number of shares of each Fund that were issued and outstanding as of the Record Date are set forth in Exhibit A.

Required vote for adoption of the Proposal

The election of a Board of the Trust requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of votes cast by Shareholders of the Trust, which means that the seven individuals receiving the greatest number of votes cast by Shareholders of the Trust entitled to vote at the Meeting, regardless of the votes cast by Shareholders of the individual Funds, will be deemed to be elected.

Quorum

The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the holders of shares entitled to vote on the Proposal on the Record Date constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting.

Adjournment

In the event that a quorum is not present at the Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any adjournment may be made with respect to any business which might have been transacted at the Meeting, and any adjournment will not delay or otherwise affect the effectiveness and validity of any business transacted at the Meeting prior to adjournment. The persons named as proxies will vote in their discretion on questions of adjournment for those shares for which proxies have been received that grant discretionary authority to vote on matters that may properly come before the Meeting.

The UBS Funds

Voting by broker-dealers and method of tabulation

The Funds expect that, before the Meeting, broker-dealer firms holding shares of the Funds in "street name" for their customers will request voting instructions from their customers and beneficial owners. If the broker-dealer firms do not receive instructions from their customers and beneficial owners, the broker-dealers may vote at their discretion on the Proposal. Any abstentions 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.

The individuals named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card(s) will vote in accordance with your direction as indicated thereon, if your proxy card(s) is received properly executed by you or by your duly appointed agent or attorney-in-fact. You may also vote through the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card(s) or the Notice of the Meeting. We encourage you to vote over the Internet or by telephone, using the voting control number that appears on your proxy card(s) or the Notice of the Meeting. If you sign, date and return the proxy card(s) without voting instructions, your shares will be voted "FOR" the Proposal by the individuals named as proxies and according to the best judgment in the interests of the Trust or Fund, as applicable, by the individuals named as proxies with respect to any other business that may properly arise at the Meeting (e.g., adjourning the Meeting).

Revocation of proxy

Any person giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time prior to its exercise by executing a superseding proxy or by submitting a written notice of revocation to the Trust's secretary (the "Secretary"). To be effective, such revocation must be received by the Secretary prior to the Meeting. In addition, although mere attendance at the Meeting would not revoke a proxy, a Shareholder present at the Meeting may withdraw his or her proxy by voting in person.

Proposal—Election of a Board of Trustees for the Trust

Overview of the election of a Board of Trustees of the Trust

The Board of the Trust unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote to elect the nominees set forth below (each, a "Nominee" and collectively, the "Nominees") as Trustees of the Trust. The Board is responsible for supervising the management of the Trust and serving the needs of Fund Shareholders.

The Trust's Board currently consists of five persons, all of whom are not "interested persons" of the Trust within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) under the 1940 Act ("Independent Trustees"). Shareholders are being asked to elect a seven person Board consisting of the five current Independent Trustees, plus two additional Independent Trustees. If elected, all seven Board members will be Independent Trustees.

Nominees for Trustees of the Trust and selection of Nominees

The Board has nominated Frank K. Reilly, Walter E. Auch, Adela Cepeda, John J. Murphy, Edward M. Roob, Abbie J. Smith and J. Mikesell Thomas to serve as Trustees on the Board of the Trust.

Meetings of the Board and compensation of the Trustees

The role of the Trustees is to provide general oversight of each Fund's business, and to ensure that the Fund is operated for the benefit of Shareholders. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, there were eight meetings of the Board, and each Trustee then in office attended at least 75% of these meetings and the committee meetings on which he or she served in the aggregate. The Trust does not have a policy with respect to the Board's attendance at meetings of Shareholders.

The table below includes certain information concerning the compensation of the Independent Trustees for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008:

The UBS Funds

Each Independent Trustee receives, for his or her service to the UBS Family of Funds Complex and two unregistered investment companies advised by the Advisor and overseen by the Board, an annual retainer of $160,000 paid quarterly for serving as a Board member (less a proportionate amount for a Trustee that does not serve on the board of a particular fund in the UBS Family of Funds Complex, if any). The chairperson of the Board also receives an annual retainer of $20,000 from the UBS Family of Funds Complex for his or her service to the Board. In addition, the chairs of the Audit Committee and the Nominating Committee receive an annual retainer of $15,000 and $7,500, respectively, for their service to the Board. The UBS Family of Funds Complex also reimburses each Trustee and officer for out-of-pocket expenses in connection with travel and attendance at Board meetings.

Standing committees of the Board

Each Trustee sits on the Trust's Audit Committee, which has the responsibility, among other things, to: (i) select, oversee and set the compensation of the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm; (ii) oversee the Trust's accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, its internal controls and, as appropriate, the internal controls of certain service providers; (iii) oversee the quality and objectivity of the Funds' financial statements and the independent audit(s) thereof; and (iv) act as liaison between the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm and the full Board. The Audit Committee of the Board met three times during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

Each Trustee sits on the Trust's Nominating Committee, which has the responsibility, among other things, to: (i) make recommendations and to consider shareholder recommendations for nominations for Board members; (ii) review Board governance procedures and recommend any appropriate changes to the full Board; (iii) periodically review Independent Trustee compensation and recommend any changes to the Independent Trustees as a


16



The UBS Funds

group; and (iv) make recommendations to the full Board for nominations for membership on all committees, review all committee assignments annually and periodically review the responsibilities and need for all committees of the Board.

The Board has adopted and approved a formal written Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee Charter (the "Nominating Committee Charter") for its Nominating Committee. A copy of the Nominating Committee Charter is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit B. The Nominating Committee Charter describes the process for identifying and evaluating nominees and the factors that the Nominating Committee takes into consideration when nominating candidates, although the Nominating Committee Charter specifies that no specific qualifications or disqualifications are controlling or paramount.

The Nominating Committee will consider nominees recommended by "Qualifying Fund Shareholders" if an Independent Trustee vacancy on the Board occurs. A "Qualifying Fund Shareholder" is a shareholder that: (i) owns of record, or beneficially through a financial intermediary, 1/2 of 1% or more of the Trust's outstanding shares and (ii) has been a shareholder of at least 1/2 of 1% of the Trust's total outstanding shares for 12 months or more prior to submitting the recommendation to the Nominating Committee. In order to recommend a nominee, a Qualifying Fund Shareholder should send a letter to the Chairperson of the Nominating Committee, Mr. Walter Auch, care of the Secretary of the Trust at UBS Global Asset Management, One North Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, and indicate on the envelope "Nominating Committee." The Qualifying Fund Shareholder's letter should include: (i) the name and address of the Qualifying Fund Sharehold er making the recommendation; (ii) the number of shares of each class and Fund of the Trust which are owned of record and beneficially by such Qualifying Fund Shareholder and the length of time that such shares have been so owned by the Qualifying Fund


17



The UBS Funds

Shareholder; (iii) a description of all arrangements and understandings between such Qualifying Fund Shareholder and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the recommendation is being made; (iv) the name and address of the nominee; and (v) the nominee's résumé or curriculum vitae. The Qualifying Fund Shareholder's letter must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated for the Board and to serve if elected by shareholders.

All of the members of the Nominating Committee are Independent Trustees. The Nominating Committee met five times during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

Officers of the Trust

The Trustees elect the officers of Trust, who are responsible for administering the day-to-day operations of the Funds. In addition to being executive officers of the Trust, these individuals are also officers and/or employees of the investment advisor or an affiliated entity. None of these individuals receives compensation from the Trust for services to the Trust. Exhibit C of this Proxy Statement provides information about these officers, including certain biographical information, the positions they hold with the Trust and their principal occupations over the past five years.

Required vote

The Nominees for Trustee of the Trust will be elected by a plurality of votes cast by Shareholders of the Trust, regardless of the votes of the individual Funds. This means that the Nominees receiving the largest number of votes will be elected to fill the seven available positions.

THE BOARD, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES FOR TRUSTEE OF THE TRUST.

Additional information about voting and the Meeting

Solicitation of proxies

The solicitation of proxies will be made primarily by mail and internet. The Trust has also retained an outside firm, Computershare Fund Services, that specializes in proxy solicitation to assist with the proxy solicitation process, the collection of the proxies, and with any necessary follow-up. All costs of solicitation, including (a) printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement and accompanying material, (b) the maintenance of the Internet web site relating to this proxy solicitation, (c) the reimbursement of brokerage firms and others for their expenses in forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial owners of each Fund's shares, and (d) payment to Computershare Fund Services for its services as proxy solicitor (which is anticipated to amount to approximately $190,000), including solicitations to submit proxies by telephone, will be borne by the Funds. These expenses will be allocated among the Funds based on a combina tion of their relative net assets and/or number of Shareholder accounts or, in the case of legal fees, may be allocated equally among the Funds.

Beneficial ownership of shares

A list of those persons who, to the knowledge of the Trust, owned beneficially 5% or more of the shares of any class of any Fund as of the Record Date is set forth in Exhibit D. To the knowledge of the Trust, each of the executive officers and the Nominees individually, and the executive officers and Nominees, together as a group, owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each class of each Fund as of October 9, 2008.

Shareholder proposals and communications

As a general matter, the Trust does not hold regular annual or other meetings of Shareholders. Any Shareholder who wishes to submit proposals to be considered at a special meeting of the Trust's Shareholders should send the proposals to the Secretary of


19



The UBS Funds

Trust c/o UBS Global Asset Management, One North Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, so as to be received a reasonable time before the proxy solicitation for that meeting is made. Shareholder proposals that are submitted in a timely manner will not necessarily be included in the Trust's or a Fund's proxy materials. Inclusion of such proposals is subject to limitations under the federal securities laws. A Shareholder who wishes to make a proposal at a shareholder meeting without including the proposal in the Trust's or Fund's proxy statement must notify the Trust or Fund of such proposal within a reasonable time before the proxy solicitation for that meeting is made by directing such notice to the Secretary of the Trust at the address set forth above. If a Shareholder fails to give notice to the Trust or Fund within a reasonable time before the proxy solicitation is made, then the persons named as proxies by the Board for such meeting may exercise discretionary voting power with respect to any such proposal.

If a Shareholder wishes to send a communication to the Board, such correspondence should be in writing and addressed to the Board of the Trust c/o the Secretary of the Trust, Mark F. Kemper, at One North Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606. The correspondence will be given to the Board for review and consideration.

Pre-approval policies and procedures

The Audit Committee Charter contains the Audit Committee's pre-approval policies and procedures. Reproduced below is an excerpt from the Audit Committee Charter regarding pre-approval policies and procedures:

To carry out its purposes, the Audit Committee shall have the following duties and powers:

(a)  To pre-approve the engagement of, and to recommend to the Board the engagement, retention or termination of, the independent auditors to provide audit, review or attest services to the Trust, and, in connection therewith, to review


23



The UBS Funds

and evaluate the capabilities and independence of the auditors, and receive the auditors' specific representations as to their independence. In evaluating the auditor's qualifications, performance and independence, the Committee must, among other things, obtain and review a report by the auditors, at least annually, describing the following items: (i) all relationships between the independent auditors and the Trust, as well as with the Trust's investment advisor or any control affiliate of the investment advisor that provides ongoing services to the Trust; (ii) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality control review, or peer review, of the audit firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years, with respect to one or more independent audits carried out by the firm, and any steps taken to deal with any such issues; and (iii) the audit firm' s internal quality control procedures.

(b)  To pre-approve all non-audit services to be provided to the Trust by the independent auditors when, without such pre-approval, the auditors would not be independent of the Trust under applicable federal securities laws, rules or auditing standards.

(c)  To pre-approve all non-audit services to be provided by the Trust's independent auditors to the Trust's investment advisor or to any entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Trust's investment advisor ("advisor affiliate") and that provides ongoing services to the Trust, when, without such pre-approval by the Committee, the auditors would not be independent of the Trust under applicable federal securities laws, rules or auditing standards.

(d)  To establish, if deemed necessary or appropriate as an alternative to Committee pre-approval of services to be


24



The UBS Funds

provided by the independent auditors as required by paragraphs (b) and (c) above, policies and procedures to permit such services to be pre-approved by other means, such as by action of a designated member or members of the Committee, subject to subsequent Committee review or oversight.

(e)  To consider whether the non-audit services provided by the Trust's independent auditor to the Trust's investment advisor or any advisor affiliate that provides on-going services to the Trust, which services were not pre-approved by the Committee, are compatible with maintaining the auditors' independence.

Aggregate non-audit fees

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, the aggregate non-audit fees billed by Ernst & Young of $1,794,215 and $1,668,131, respectively, included non-audit services rendered on behalf of the Trust of $76,957 and $78,250, respectively, and non-audit services rendered on behalf of the Advisor and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Advisor of $1,717,258 and $1,589,881, respectively.

The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the Advisor and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Advisor that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young's independence.

Exhibit B

Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee Charter

I.  The Committee.

The Nominating, Compensation and Governance Committee (the "Committee") is a committee of, and established by, the Board of Trustees/Directors (the "Board") of each of the entities listed on Schedule A hereto (each a "Fund"). The Committee consists of such number of members as set by the Board from time to time and its members shall be selected by the Board. The Committee shall be comprised entirely of "independent members." For purposes of this Charter, independent members shall mean members who are not interested persons of the Fund ("Disinterested Board members") as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

II.  Board nominations and functions.

1.  The Committee shall make recommendations for nominations for Disinterested Board members on the Board to the incumbent Disinterested Board members and to the full Board. The Committee shall evaluate candidates' qualifications for Board membership and the independence of such candidates from the Fund's investment advisors and other principal service providers. Persons selected must be independent in terms of both the letter and the spirit of the 1940 Act. The Committee shall also consider the effect of any relationships beyond those delineated in the 1940 Act that might impair independence, e.g., business, financial or family relationships with investment advisors or service providers.


B-1



The UBS Funds

Exhibit B

2.  The Committee also shall evaluate candidates' qualifications and make recommendations for "interested" members on the Board to the full Board.

3.  The Committee may consider the factors listed in Schedule B to evaluate candidates for membership on the Board. The Committee also may from time to time establish specific requirements and/or additional factors to be considered for Board candidates as it deems necessary or appropriate.

4.  The Committee shall periodically review Board governance procedures and shall recommend any appropriate changes to the full Board.

5.  The Committee shall periodically review the composition of the Board to determine whether it may be appropriate to add individuals with backgrounds or skill sets that differ from those of the members currently on the Board.

6.  The Committee shall periodically review Disinterested Board member compensation and shall recommend any appropriate changes to the Disinterested Board members as a group.

7.  The Committee shall review recommendations from Qualifying Fund Shareholders (as defined in Schedule B) for nominations to fill vacancies on the Board if such recommendations are submitted in accordance with the procedures described in Schedule B.

III.   Committee nominations and functions.

1.  The Committee shall make recommendations to the full Board for nomination for membership on all committees of the Board and shall review committee assignments at least annually.


B-2



The UBS Funds

Exhibit B

2.  The Committee shall review as necessary the responsibilities of any committees of the Board, whether there is a continuing need for each committee, whether there is a need for additional committees of the Board, and whether committees should be combined or reorganized. The Committee shall make recommendations for any such action to the full Board.

IV.  Other powers and responsibilities.

1.  The Committee shall meet as often as it deems appropriate.

2.  The Committee shall have the resources and authority appropriate to discharge its responsibilities, including authority to retain special counsel and other experts or consultants at the expense of the Fund.

3.  The Committee shall report its activities to the Board and make such recommendations as the Committee may deem necessary or appropriate.

4.  A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Committee. The action of a majority of the members of the Committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the action of the Committee. The Committee may meet in person or by telephone, and a majority of the members of the Committee may act by written consent to the extent not inconsistent with the Fund's by-laws. In the event of any inconsistency between this Charter and the Fund's organizational documents, the provisions of the Fund's organizational documents shall be given precedence.

5.  The Committee shall review this Charter at least annually and recommend any changes to the full Board.

Schedule B

Nomination and appointment policy

1.  The Committee believes that it is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to obtain highly-qualified candidates to serve as members of the Board.

2.  In nominating candidates, the Committee believes that no specific qualifications or disqualifications are controlling or paramount, or that specific qualities or skills are necessary for each candidate to possess. The Committee shall take into consideration such factors as it deems appropriate. These factors may include:

•  whether or not the person is an "interested person" as defined in the 1940 Act, meets the independence and experience requirements applicable to closed-end funds as they may be adopted and modified from time to time by the New York Stock Exchange and is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a member of the Board;

•  whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence, such as any business, financial or family relationships with Fund management, the investment adviser and/or sub-advisors of the Fund, Fund service providers or their affiliates;

•  whether or not the person is willing to serve, and willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a Board member;

•  the person's judgment, skill, diversity and experience with investment companies and other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity and size and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight;

•  the interplay of the candidate's experience with the experience of other Board members; and


B-5



The UBS Funds

Exhibit B

•  the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the Board and any committees thereof.

3.  While the Committee is solely responsible for the selection and recommendation to the Board of Board candidates, the Committee will consider nominees recommended by Qualifying Fund Shareholders if a vacancy occurs among those Board members who are Independent Board Members. A Qualifying Fund Shareholder is a shareholder that: (i) owns of record, or beneficially through a financial intermediary, 1/2 or 1% or more of the Fund's outstanding shares and (ii) has been a shareholder of 1/2 of 1% of the Fund's total outstanding shares for 12 months or more prior to submitting the recommendation to the Committee. Such recommendations shall be directed to the Secretary of the Fund at such address as is set forth in the Fund's disclosure documents. The Qualifying Fund Shareholder's letter should include: (i) the name and address of the Qualifying Fund Shareholder making the recommendation; (ii) the number of shares of each cl ass and series of shares of the Fund which are owned of record and beneficially by such Qualifying Fund Shareholder and the length of time that such shares have been so owned by the Qualifying Fund Shareholder; (iii) a description of all arrangements and understandings between such Qualifying Fund Shareholder and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the recommendation is being made; (iv) the name and address of the nominee; and (v) the nominee's resume or curriculum vitae. The Qualifying Fund Shareholder's letter must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated for the Board and to serve if elected by shareholders. The Committee may also seek such additional information about the nominee as it considers appropriate, including information relating to such nominee that is required to be disclosed in solicitations or proxies for the election of Board members.
