Notice: Change in investment policy for UBS U.S. Large Cap Value Equity Fund
The Board of Trustees of The UBS Funds approved a name change and investment policy modifications to UBS U.S. Large Cap Value Equity Fund (the "Fund") that will go into effect on or about December 28, 2011. UBS Global Asset Management believes these modifications will better align the Fund's investable universe with its view of market opportunities, better position it from a competitive standpoint, and result in better risk-adjusted returns for the Fund as a whole.
Highlights
• The Fund's name will change from UBS U.S. Large Cap Value Equity Fund to UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund.
• The Fund's 80% investment policy will change to provide the Fund with a greater opportunity to invest in foreign securities and securities with smaller market capitalizations when market conditions warrant such investments.
• The Fund's benchmark will change from the Russell 1000 Value Index to the Russell 1000 Index.
What will change
• The Fund's name will change to UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund to better reflect its underlying investment strategy, as well as the expanded investable universe.
• The Fund's 80% policy will change from investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes, if any) in equity securities of U.S. large capitalization companies to investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes, if any) in the equity securities of U.S. companies. The revised policy, like the current policy, cannot be changed without giving shareholders of the Fund at least 60 days advance notice.
• The Fund will primarily invest in large capitalization companies, but may invest in companies of any size.
• The Fund will have the ability to invest up to 20% of its net assets in the equity securities of foreign issuers, including companies in both developed and emerging markets.
