[1] Since the "Acquired fund fees and expenses" are not directly borne by the Fund, they are not reflected in the Fund's financial statements, and therefore the amounts listed in "Total annual fund operating expenses" and "Total annual fund operating expenses after management fee waiver/expense reimbursements" will differ from those presented in the Financial highlights.
[2] The Trust, with respect to the Fund, and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc., the Fund's investment advisor ("UBS Global AM (Americas)" or the "Advisor"), have entered into a written agreement pursuant to which the Advisor has agreed to waive a portion of its management fees and/or to reimburse expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses), through the period ending October 27, 2013, do not exceed 1.20% for Class A shares, 1.95% for Class B shares, 1.95% for Class C shares and 0.95% for Class Y shares. Pursuant to the written agreement, the Advisor is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees it waives and expenses it reimburses for a period of three years following such fee waivers and expense reimbursements to the extent that such reimbursement of the Advisor by the Fund will not cause the Fund to exceed any applicable expense limit that is in place for the Fund.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund

with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you

invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of

your shares at the end of those periods unless otherwise stated. The example

also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's

operating expenses remain the same. The costs described in the example reflect

the expenses of the Fund that would result from the contractual fee waiver and

expense reimbursement agreement with the Advisor for the first year only.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions,

your costs would be:

Portfolio turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells

securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may

indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund

shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in

annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance.

During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 85%

of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal strategies
Principal investments



Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets

(plus borrowings for investment purposes, if any) in equity securities of US

companies. The Fund primarily invests in large capitalization companies, but may

invest in companies of any size. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets

in securities of foreign companies in both developed and emerging markets.

Investments in equity securities may include, but are not limited to,

dividend-paying securities, common stock, preferred stock, shares of investment

companies, convertible securities, warrants and rights.



The Fund may, but is not required to, use exchange-traded or over-the-counter

derivative instruments for risk management purposes or as part of the Fund's

investment strategies. The derivatives in which the Fund may invest include

futures on indices or currencies and foward currency agreements, which may be

used for risk management purposes to manage or adjust the risk profile of the

Fund. Futures on currencies and forward currency agreements may also be used to

hedge against a specific currency. In addition, futures on indices may be used

for investment (non-hedging) purposes to earn income; to enhance returns; to

replace more traditional direct investments; or to obtain exposure to certain

markets.



Management process



In selecting securities, the Advisor focuses on, among other things, identifying

discrepancies between a security's fundamental value and its market price. In

this context, the fundamental value of a given security is the Advisor's

assessment of what a security is worth. The Fund will select a security whose

fundamental value it estimates to be greater than its market value at any given

time. For each stock under analysis, the Advisor bases its estimates of value

upon economic, industry and company analysis, as well as upon a company's

management team, competitive advantage and core competencies. The Advisor then

compares its assessment of a security's value against the prevailing market

prices with the aim of constructing a focused portfolio of stocks with

attractive relative price/value characteristics. Although the Fund is a

diversified fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund employs a

focused investment strategy that may result in the Fund investing in a lesser

number of issuers than other equity mutual funds.
Main risks
All investments carry a certain amount of risk and the Fund cannot guarantee

that it will achieve its investment objective. You may lose money by investing

in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of the bank and is not

insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other

government agency. Below are some of the specific risks of investing in the

Fund.



Market risk: The market value of the Fund's investments may fluctuate, sometimes

rapidly or unpredictably, as the stock and bond markets fluctuate. Market risk

may affect a single issuer, industry, or sector of the economy, or it may affect

the market as a whole.



Management risk: The risk that the investment strategies, techniques and risk

analyses employed by the Advisor may not produce the desired results.



Foreign investing risk: The value of the Fund's investments in foreign

securities may fall due to adverse political, social and economic developments

abroad and due to decreases in foreign currency values relative to the US

dollar. Investments in foreign government bonds involve special risks because

the Fund may have limited legal recourse in the event of default. Also, foreign

securities are sometimes less liquid and more difficult to sell and to value

than securities of US issuers. These risks are greater for investments in

emerging market issuers. In addition, investments in emerging market is

suers may decline in value because of unfavorable foreign government actions,

greater risks of political instability or the absence of accurate information

about emerging market issuers.



Limited capitalization risk: The risk that securities of smaller capitalization

companies tend to be more volatile and less liquid than securities of larger

capitalization companies. This can have a disproportionate effect on the market

price of smaller capitalization companies and affect the Fund's ability to

purchase or sell these securities. In general, smaller capitalization companies

are more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic

developments and they may have more limited resources.



Limited number of issuers risk: The Fund may invest in a limited number of

issuers compared to other mutual funds and, consequently, may invest a greater

portion of its assets in one or more issuers than other mutual funds. The Fund,

therefore, may be more sensitive to a single economic, business, political,

regulatory or other occurrence, which may result in greater fluctuation in the

value of the Fund's shares and to a greater risk of loss.



Derivatives risk: The value of "derivatives"--so called because their value

"derives" from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index--may

rise or fall more rapidly than other investments. When using derivatives for

non-hedging purposes, it is possible for the Fund to lose more than the amount

it invested in the derivative. The risks of investing in derivative instruments

also include market and management risks. In addition, non-exchange traded

derivatives may be subject to liquidity risk, credit risk and mispricing or

valuation complexity. These derivatives risks are different from, and may be

greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and

other instruments.



Leverage risk associated with financial instruments: The use of financial

instruments to increase potential returns, including derivatives used for

investment (non-hedging) purposes, may cause the Fund to be more volatile than

if it had not been leveraged. The use of leverage may also accelerate the

velocity of losses and can result in losses to the Fund that exceed the amount

originally invested.
Performance
Risk/return bar chart and table



The performance information that follows shows the Fund's performance

information in a bar chart and an average annual total returns table. The

information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by

showing changes in the Fund's performance from year to year and by showing how

the Fund's average annual total returns compare with those of a broad measure of

market performance. Index reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. The

Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an

indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. On December 30, 2011, the

Fund's investment strategy, including its 80% policy, changed. The performance

information below, prior to that date, is attributable to the Fund's previous

investment strategy. Updated performance for the Fund is available at

http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.



After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal

marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local

taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may

differ from those shown. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not

relevant to investors who hold Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements,

such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns for

other classes will vary from the Class Y shares' after-tax returns shown.
