President's letter

February 15, 2012

Dear Shareholder,

If I were asked to characterize the market environment of the past six months, I could probably crystallize it to one word: challenging. Adverse macroeconomic news—including events relating to Greece and the Eurozone, ratings downgrades and inflation concerns—weighed heavily on investor sentiment, in turn causing markets to demonstrate unusually high levels of volatility.

In this environment of uncertainty, company fundamentals were largely ignored in favor of short-term news, making it difficult for active managers to add value through security selection. We were no different, and so stock selection was the primary detractor from performance across many of our equity and asset allocation funds during the period. Our fixed income portfolios, though generally experiencing performance more in line with their benchmarks, also faced certain headwinds, including a volatile credit and interest rate environment as investor sentiment frequently shifted between risk aversion and risk-taking.

In the time since I have been writing these letters to you, I have stressed the importance of maintaining a long-term perspective. This advice, though valuable under any circumstance, is never more important to follow than during periods of extreme market volatility, when fear plays a too large role in investor decision-making.

At UBS Global Asset Management, we have always kept an eye on the long term. This perspective has required us to evolve over our 30 years of investing, to meet the demands of a more complex investment landscape—for example, by combining our valuation work with market behavioral analysis in our asset allocation portfolios to better position them to navigate market volatility. However, we have never compromised on our core belief that strict adherence to our disciplined investment process through up and down markets—although it may, on occasion, result in short-term underperformance—is the most important way, over time, that we can add value in our clients' portfolios.

As I write this, the road ahead, though never certain, seems less unsure. Signs of a solution appear to be emerging in Europe, while US economic indicators seem to be improving. Year-to-date, the S&P 500 Index—the standard-bearer of equity market performance—is in positive territory, and stock correlations and volatility appear to be moving lower. The market, once again, seems to be paying attention to fundamentals. Against this backdrop, we firmly believe that our portfolios will ultimately be rewarded for the positions we've taken, and that active managers will once again be well-positioned to add value in 2012.

As always, we remain firmly dedicated to your investment success. Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Mark E. Carver
President
The UBS Funds
Managing Director
UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc.

The markets in review

Moderating growth in many countries

Although the overall US economy expanded during the reporting period, gross domestic product ("GDP") growth rates in general could best be characterized as tepid. At its August meeting, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed"), acknowledging that economic growth had been considerably slower than it expected, declared that it would keep the federal funds rate on hold until at least through mid-2013. In January 2012 (after the reporting period had ended), the Fed extended this period, noting that economic conditions warranted maintaining exceptionally low federal funds rate levels at least through late 2014.

Additionally, the Fed also announced its plan to purchase $400 billion of longer-term Treasury securities, and to sell an equal amount of shorter-term Treasury securities by June 2012. Dubbed "Operation Twist," the Fed noted that its intention with this program was to "put downward pressure on longer-term interest rates and help make broader financial conditions more accommodative."

In contrast to the US, many international economies took a step backward as the reporting period progressed. Growth in the Eurozone was negatively impacted by its ongoing sovereign debt crisis, as well as weak consumer and business confidence. In contrast, Japan's economy gained some traction, emerging from its recession in the first half of the review period. Elsewhere, while growth rates in many developing countries such as China and India surpassed their developed country counterparts, they also tended to progressively move lower during the course of the reporting period.

Riskier fixed income securities produced mixed results

The US taxable spread sectors (non-US Treasury fixed income securities) were a study in contrasts during the reporting period. Over the first half of the period, investor risk aversion was often elevated due to concerns about the European sovereign debt crisis, signs of decelerating global growth and the downgrade of US sovereign debt. Against this backdrop, US Treasury yields fell sharply. Risk appetite then increased at times during the second half of the period, given signs that the US economy was gaining some traction. All told, during the six months ended December 31, 2011, spread sectors typically underperformed Treasuries, and the overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays Capital US Aggregate Index,1 returned 4.98%.

Looking more closely at lower-rated fixed-income securities, the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index2 declined 0.39% during the reporting period. In contrast, emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),3 rose 3.21%.The emerging markets debt asset class was supported by continued solid growth in developing countries and generally solid demand from investors seeking to generate incremental yield in the low interest rate environment.

1  The Barclays Capital US Aggregate Index is an unmanaged broad based index designed to measure the US-dollar-denominated, investment-grade, fixed rate taxable bond market. The index includes bonds from the Treasury, government-related, corporate, mortgage-backed, asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed sectors. US agency hybrid adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) securities were added to the Index on April 1, 2007. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

2  The BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index is an unmanaged index of publicly placed non-convertible, coupon-bearing US dollar denominated below investment grade corporate debt with a term to maturity of at least one year. The index is market weighted, so that larger bond issuers have a greater effect on the index's return. However, the representation of any single bond issue is restricted to a maximum of 2% of the total index. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

3  The J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global) is an unmanaged index which is designed to track total returns for US-dollar denominated debt instruments issued by emerging market sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities: Brady bonds, loans and Eurobonds. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

UBS Core Plus Bond Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, Class A shares of UBS Core Plus Bond Fund (the "Fund") returned 4.77% (Class A shares returned 0.06% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 4.91%. The Fund's benchmark, the Barclays Capital US Aggregate Index (the "Index"), returned 4.98% over the same time period. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 5; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund posted a positive return, but slightly underperformed the Index during the reporting period, largely due to sector allocation and issue selection.

The Fund used derivatives during the reporting period. Certain interest rate derivatives were utilized to facilitate specific duration and yield curve strategies. Credit default swaps were used to implement specific credit-related investment strategies as part of the Fund's sector allocation and security selection. Later in the period, the Fund engaged in foreign exchange forwards to help implement its active currency positions. Derivatives play a role in the overall portfolio construction process but are just one of the tools we utilize to manage the Fund's overall risk exposure and to implement the aforementioned strategies. With that in mind, overall, the Fund's yield curve positioning and currency management were positive contributors to performance, while sector allocation and security selection in certain spread sectors detracted from performance.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Yield curve positioning was a positive for performance. We had a yield curve flattening bias for the portfolio from July 2011 through the end of September, as we expected longer-term rates to decline and the difference between short- and long-term rates to narrow. This was a positive for results when the yield curve flattened during that period.

  The Fund's active currency decisions in several developed markets contributed to results. The largest benefit came from our short position in the euro, which weakened during the reporting period given concerns relating to the European sovereign debt crisis.

What didn't work

•  The Fund's positioning in several spread sectors (non-US Treasuries) detracted from performance during the reporting period.

  – Our allocation to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) modestly detracted from results, both from an allocation and security selection standpoint. While the Fund's CMBS exposure fluctuated from month to month, we generally maintained an overweight position for the period. Within the sector, we held a mix of securities across the capital structure. During the third quarter, securities lower in the capital structure were very volatile and underperformed.

1  For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, see page 2.

UBS Core Plus Bond Fund

  – An out-of-index exposure to high yield bonds—in particular securities rated BB and below—was detrimental for performance. While they performed well during the second half of the period, this was not enough to offset their weak results in July and August, when investor risk aversion rose sharply.

•  Security selection of investment grade industrial bonds hurt the Fund's results. Within the industrials sector, we emphasized more liquid, higher beta (higher risk) telecommunications companies. The spreads of these bonds widened due to economic concern and periods of risk aversion that were triggered by several macro factors, including the European sovereign debt crisis. (Spread measures the difference between the yields paid on a security versus those paid on US Treasuries.)

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.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 0.75% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1.00%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.

4  The Fund offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

6  The Barclays Capital US Aggregate Index is an unmanaged broad based index designed to measure the US dollar-denominated, investment grade, fixed rate taxable bond market. The index includes bonds from the Treasury, government-related, corporate, mortgage-backed, asset backed and commercial-mortgage backed sectors. US agency hybrid adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) securities were added to the index on April 1, 2007. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus.

Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, Class A shares of UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") declined 0.33% (Class A shares declined 4.83% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares declined 0.19%. For comparison purposes, the BofA Merrill Lynch US Dollar 3-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index (the "Index"), returned 0.12% over the same time period. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 18; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund generated a slightly negative return during the reporting period.

The Fund extensively utilizes derivatives as part of its investment strategy across global interest rate, credit and currency markets. To facilitate specific duration and yield curve strategies, the Fund utilized different interest rate derivatives, including but not limited to futures, options, swaps and swaptions. Credit default swaps and credit default swaptions were used to help implement credit-related investment strategies as part of the Fund's sector allocation and security selection. Lastly, the Fund utilized currency forwards and swaps as part of its currency management strategy. Derivatives play a role in the overall portfolio construction process but are just one of the tools we utilize to manage the Fund's overall risk exposure and to implement the aforementioned strategies. With that in mind, overall, the Fund's duration and yield curve positioning, as well as currency allocations, were positive contributors to performance, while sector allocation and security selection in certain spread sectors detracted from performance.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  The Fund's yield curve and duration positioning contributed to performance.

  – We had a yield curve flattening bias in the portfolio for much of the reporting period, as we expected longer-term rates to decline and the difference between short- and long-term rates to narrow. This was a positive for results when the yield curve flattened during the period.

  – We tactically adjusted the Fund's duration, at times moving to short and long positions. In aggregate, duration positioning was additive for performance. (Duration measures the price sensitivity of a portfolio to interest rate changes.)

•  Overall, currency positioning was beneficial for performance. The Fund's active currency decisions in several developed markets, including short positions in the euro and Australian dollar, contributed to results.

What didn't work

•  Security selection of investment grade bonds issued by banks detracted from results. We emphasized more liquid, higher beta (higher risk) US banks. The spreads of these bonds widened due to fears of contagion from the European sovereign debt crisis, uncertainties regarding new financial regulations and ongoing weakness

in the housing market. (Spread measures the difference between the yields paid on non-government securities versus those paid on government securities of comparable duration.)

•  The Fund's overweight to several spread sectors (non-US Treasuries) was negative for results during the reporting period.

  – An overweight to investment grade financials was detrimental for results, as they were among the weakest performing sectors during the reporting period.

  – An allocation to high yield bonds—in particular securities rated BB and below—hurt performance. While they performed well during the second half of the period, this performance was not enough to offset the weak results they posted in July and August, when investor risk aversion rose sharply.

  – Exposure to emerging markets debt was a drag on results.

  – A small allocation to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) that were lower in the capital structure was not rewarded. Their spreads widened at times, given several investor flights-to-quality.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2011 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.47% and 1.03%; Class C—2.02% and 1.53%; Class Y—1.37% and 0.78%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. 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, extraordinary expenses and dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short) to the extent necessary so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding expense incurred through investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses and dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short), through the period ending October 27, 2012, do not exceed 0.95% for Class A shares, 1.45% for Class C shares and 0.70% 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.

1  Inception date of all shares of UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and the index is November 29, 2010.

2  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 4.50%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 0.75% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

4  The Fund offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  The BofA Merrill Lynch US Dollar 3-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index is designed to track the performance of a synthetic asset paying LIBOR to a stated maturity. The index is based on the assumed purchase at par of a synthetic instrument having exactly its stated maturity and with a coupon equal to that day's fixing rate. That issue is assumed to be sold the following business day (priced at a yield equal to the current day fixing rate) and rolled into a new instrument. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus.

Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

3  Credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring for the credit derivative. The credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity's credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. A credit spread identified as "Defaulted" indicates a credit event has occurred for the referenced entity.

UBS Global Bond Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, Class A shares of UBS Global Bond Fund (the "Fund") declined 0.01% (Class A shares declined 4.52% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 0.10%. The Fund's benchmark, the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index (the "Index"), returned 1.21% over the same time period. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 36; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund's underperformance was due to a variety of factors, including security selection and sector positioning.

The Fund used derivatives during the reporting period. These included certain interest rate instruments, to manage the Fund's duration and yield curve exposure; credit default swaps to implement specific credit-related investment strategies as part of the Fund's sector allocation and security selection; and foreign exchange forwards to manage the Fund's currency exposures. Derivatives play a role in the overall portfolio construction process but are just one of the tools we utilize to manage the Fund's overall risk exposure and to implement the aforementioned strategies. With that in mind, overall, the Fund's duration and yield curve positioning, as well as currency allocations, were positive contributors to performance, while sector allocation and security selection in certain spread sectors detracted from performance.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Duration positioning contributed to results. We tactically adjusted the Fund's duration in both the US and the UK. At the beginning of the period, the Fund's duration in the US was shorter than the Index, as we felt US yields would move higher as the US economic expansion continued. However, as US economic growth hit a soft patch in the summer, we moved to a long duration versus the Index. This was rewarded, as US Treasury yields moved sharply lower in the third quarter of 2011. In the UK, we moved from a neutral to a long duration versus the Index. This was also beneficial, as rates in the UK declined given slowing economic growth and fears of recession. (Duration is a measure of a portfolio's sensitivity to changes in interest rates.)

•  Overall, the Fund's yield curve positioning strategies were rewarded. During the second half of the review period, we generally had a yield curve flattening bias in the US, as we expected longer-term US rates to decline and the difference between short- and long-term rates to narrow. This was a positive for results when the yield curve flattened during that period.

•  The Fund's currency exposures, overall, modestly contributed to performance.

What didn't work

•  Security selection of investment grade bonds detracted from results. Security selection in European industrials hurt performance, as did the Fund's holdings in the financial sector. With respect to the latter, we emphasized senior secured securities issued by US and European banks. The spreads of these bonds widened due to the European sovereign debt crisis, moderating global growth and uncertainties regarding new financial regulations. (Spread measures the difference between the yields paid on non-government securities versus those paid on government securities of comparable duration.)

UBS Global Bond Fund

•  Sector positioning, overall, was a negative for performance.

  – An overweight to investment grade financials was detrimental for results, as it was the weakest performing sector within the Index during the review period. During the period, we pared our exposure to European financials in favor of US financials, as we felt the latter had relatively better fundamentals and return prospects.

  – Having on overweight to European mortgage-backed securities was a negative for results, as they underperformed during the period.

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, 2012, do not exceed 1.15% for Class A shares, 1.90% for Class B shares, 1.65% for Class C shares and 0.90% 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.

UBS High Yield Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, Class A shares of UBS High Yield Fund (the "Fund") declined 1.71% (Class A shares declined 6.09% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares declined 1.58%. The Fund's benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index (the "Index"), declined 0.39% over the same time period. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 48; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund generated a negative return and underperformed the Index. Certain sector allocations and security selection detracted from results.

Over the period, the Fund used foreign exchange forwards to hedge its non-US dollar exposure, which was helpful in reducing the Fund's currency risk.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  The Fund's positioning in several areas of the industrials sector contributed positively to relative performance during the reporting period. Specifically, issue selection within the chemicals subsector was beneficial for results, while security selection in the media subsector—especially the Fund's holdings of debt issued by cable companies—enhanced Fund performance.

What didn't work

•  The Fund's allocation to the financial sector was a negative for results.

  – The insurance subsector, despite good performance early in the year (prior to the beginning of the reporting period), was dragged down during the third quarter as risk appetite was replaced by periods of extreme risk aversion.

  – The Fund's exposure to the bank subsector detracted from performance. This area of the market performed poorly, as it was negatively impacted by fears of contagion from the European sovereign debt crisis, weakening global growth and uncertainty regarding new financial regulations.

• The Fund's positioning in the industrial sector was not rewarded.

  – An overweight to the gaming subsector was a drag on results, as the subsector underperformed during the reporting period.

  – Issue selection in the transportation subsector hurt the Fund's performance, particularly our positioning within shipping services, which underperformed given signs of moderating global growth.

  – During the review period, the Fund generally had an underweight to telecommunications that was beneficial to performance. However, this positive performance was not enough to offset the negative impact from positioning within the subsector.

1  For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, see page 2.

UBS High Yield Fund

  – Generally having an overweight to the metals and mining subsector was a modest detractor, given that negative sentiment regarding the more cyclical areas of the market grew as the review period progressed.

•  The Fund's positioning from a quality perspective detracted from results. Although we moved to increase the portfolio's overall credit quality early in the period, the Fund's quality biases still generated negative results as risk aversion and market volatility increased as the period progressed.

  – The Fund's overweight to securities rated CCC and lower detracted from performance, largely during the third quarter of 2011.2

  – Having an underweight to securities rated BB was not rewarded, as they outperformed their lower rated B and CCC counterparts during the reporting period.3,4

2  Debt rated CCC has a current identifiable vulnerability to default, and is dependent upon favorable business, financial and economic conditions to meet timely payments of interest and repayment of principal.

3  Debt rated BB has less near-term vulnerability to default than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments.

4  Debt rated B has a greater vulnerability to default but currently has the capacity to meet interest payments and principal repayments. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair capacity or willingness to pay interest and repay principal.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2011 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.37% and 1.20%; Class B—2.17% and 1.95%; Class C—1.86% and 1.70%; Class Y—1.03% and 0.95%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. 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, extraordinary expenses and dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short) 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, extraordinary expenses and dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short), through the period ending October 27, 2012, do not exceed 1.20% for Class A shares, 1.95% for Class B shares, 1.70% 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.

1  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 4.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.

2  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after a maximum of six years. Class B shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. On or about March 1, 2012, the Class B shares of the Fund will be converted into Class A shares of the same Fund and Class B shares will be terminated effective immediately after such conversion.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 0.75% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1.00%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.

4  The Fund offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  Assumes the conversion of Class B to Class A shares at the end of the sixth year.

6  The BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index is an unmanaged index of publicly placed non-convertible, coupon-bearing US dollar denominated below investment grade corporate debt with a term to maturity of at least one year. The index is market weighted, so that larger bond issuers have a greater effect on the index's return. However, the representation of any single bond issue is restricted to a maximum of 2% of the total index. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus.

Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for period of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transactional costs (as applicable); including sales charges (loads); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; service and/or distribution (12b-1) fees (if applicable); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, July 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011.

Actual expenses

The first line for each class of shares in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over a period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses paid during period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line for each class of shares in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on that Fund's actual expense ratios for each class of shares and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not that Fund's actual return for each class of shares. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs (as applicable), such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line in the table for each class of shares is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period July 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011.

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

2  Total investment return is calculated assuming a $10,000 investment on the first day of each period reported, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any, at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates, and a sale at net asset value on the last day of each period reported. The figures do not include any applicable sales charges; results would be lower if they were included. Total investment return for periods of less than one year has not been annualized. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on dividends/distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

3  Amount represents less than $0.005 per share.

4  Annualized.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

1. Organization and significant accounting policies

The UBS Funds (the "Trust") is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), as amended, as an open-end management investment company currently offering multiple series representing separate investment portfolios. The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust organized on August 13, 1993. The trustees of the Trust have the authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at a par value of $0.001 per share.

The Trust has 14 Funds available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies. The following four funds are covered in this report: UBS Core Plus Bond Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, UBS Global Bond Fund, and UBS High Yield Fund (each a "Fund", and collectively, the "Funds").

Each of the Funds is classified as a "diversified" investment company with the exception of UBS Global Bond Fund which is classified as "non-diversified" for purposes of the 1940 Act. The Fund currently offers Class A, Class C and Class Y shares. For each Fund except UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, Class B shares are offered only to existing Class B shareholders with respect to the reinvestment of dividends and distributions and exchanges of Class B shares of the Funds for Class B shares of other series of the UBS Family of Funds. "UBS Family of Funds" include other UBS Funds, PACE Select Advisor Trust and other funds for which UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc. ("UBS Global AM (US)") serves as principal underwriter. UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund does not offer Class B shares. Each class represents interests in the same assets of the applicable Fund and the classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures, ongoing service and distribution charges and certain transfer agency and related services expenses. In addition, Class B shares and all corresponding reinvested dividend shares automatically convert to Class A shares within a certain number of years after issuance which varies depending upon the amount invested. Effective on or about March 1, 2012, all outstanding Class B shares will be converted to Class A shares of the same Fund. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plan, if any. Class Y shares have no service or distribution plan.

In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification for certain liabilities. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series' operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Funds' financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

A. Valuation of investments: Each Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio securities. The Funds normally obtain market values for their securities and other instruments from independent pricing sources and broker-dealers. Independent pricing sources may use reported last sale prices, official market closing prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized "evaluation" systems that derive values based on comparable securities or instruments. An evaluation system incorporates

parameters such as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/or research and evaluations by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations, if available, in determining the valuation of the portfolio securities or instruments. Securities and other instruments also may be valued based on appraisals derived from information concerning the security or instrument or similar securities or instruments received from recognized dealers in those holdings. Securities and instruments traded in the over-the- counter ("OTC") market and listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. ("NASDAQ") normally are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price on the valuation date available prior to valuation. Securities and instruments which are listed on US and foreign stock exchanges normally are valued at the market closing price, the last sale price on the day the securities are valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price. In cases where securities or instruments are traded on more than one exchange, the securities or instruments are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM" or the "Advisor"), the investment advisor of the Funds. UBS Global AM is an indirect wholly owned asset management subsidiary of UBS AG, an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich and Basel, Switzerland and operations in many areas of the financial services industry. If a market value is not readily available from an independent pricing source for a particular security or instrument, that security or instrument is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security's or instrument's fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the securities or instruments; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the securities or instruments are purchased and sold. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").

Certain securities or instruments in which the Funds invest are traded in markets that close before 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. Normally, developments that occur between the close of the foreign markets and 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, will not be reflected in the Fund's net asset value. However, if any of the Funds determine that such developments are so significant that they will materially affect the value of the Fund's securities or instruments, the Fund may adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what the Board believes to be the fair value of these securities or instruments as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time.

Certain Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities or instruments principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation. The systematic fair valuation model may use calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs and futures contracts. If a security or instrument is valued at a "fair value," that value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security or instrument. The use of the fair valuation model may result in securities being transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair valuation hierarchy at the end of the reporting period.

The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, generally is used to value short-term debt instruments with 60 days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Board determines that this does not represent fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective investment company. Pursuant to the Funds' use of the practical expedient within ASC Topic 820, investments in non-registered investment companies are also valued at the daily net asset value. All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued daily in US dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by the Funds' custodian.

Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily using forward exchange rates quoted by independent pricing services.

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon values from third party vendors or quotations from market makers to the extent available and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of assets and liabilities. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, the swap is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board.

GAAP requires disclosure regarding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs inclusive of the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

A fair value hierarchy has been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 "Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements" ("ASU 2010-06"). ASU 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3, including information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures have been implemented for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The disclosures surrounding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements have been implemented for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010.

In April 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-03 "Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements" ("ASU 2011-03") which relates to the accounting for repurchase agreements and similar agreements, including mortgage dollar rolls, that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. ASU 2011-03 modifies the criteria for determining effective control of transferred assets and as a result certain agreements may now be accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU 2011-03 is effective prospectively for new transfers and existing transactions that are modified in the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the implications of this change and its impact on the financial statements.

In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")" ("ASU 2011-04"). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.

In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11"). These disclosure requirements are intended to help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a company's financial position. They also improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, including disclosure of related collateral pledged or received. In addition, ASU 2011-11 facilitates comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS. ASU 2011-11 requires entities to: disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements; and disclose instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on the Funds' financial statement disclosures.

The provisions of ASC Topic 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC Topic 815") require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. Since investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, even though a fund's investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for purposes of disclosure under ASC Topic 815. ASC Topic 815 requires that (1) objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation, (2) the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses be disclosed in a tabular format, and (3) information be disclosed about credit-risk contingent features of derivatives contracts. Details of this disclosure can be found below as well as in the Portfolio of investments. Certain derivative contracts entered into by the Funds may contain credit-risk related contingent features that could be triggered subject to certain circumstances. Such circumstances include agreed upon net asset value thresholds. If triggered, the derivative counterparty could request additional cash margin and/or terminate the derivative contract. The aggregate fair value of the derivative contracts that are in a net liability position that contain these triggers can be found in the Portfolio of investments. The aggregate fair value of assets that are already posted as collateral as of December 31, 2011 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of December 31, 2011, the Fund would be required to post additional collateral or may be required to terminate the contract and settle any amounts outstanding. The volume of derivatives as disclosed in each Fund's Portfolio of investments is representative of the volume of derivatives outstanding during the period ended December 31, 2011. The Funds may be sellers of protection through credit default swap agreements which are by nature credit-risk contingent (the terms of these agreements can be found within the Portfolio of investments, with further discussion in the Notes to financial statements).

Disclosure of derivatives by underlying risk for each Fund as of and for the period ended December 31, 2011 is as follows:

B. Restricted securities: The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt


86



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included in each Fund's Notes to portfolio of investments.

C. Investment transactions, investment income and expenses: Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment and foreign exchange transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Dividend income and expenses are recorded on the ex-dividend date ("ex-date") except in the case of certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon after the ex-date as the respective Fund, using reasonable diligence, becomes aware of such dividends. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.

Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares (or the value of dividend eligible shares, as appropriate) of each class at the beginning of the day after adjusting for current capital share activity of the respective classes. Class specific expenses are charged directly to the applicable class of shares.

D. Foreign currency translation: The Funds use the foreign currency exchange rates determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. For purposes of calculating the US dollar equivalent value of a non US dollar denominated obligation, foreign currency amounts are translated into US dollars on the following basis: (1) market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities—at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of each Fund's fiscal period; and (2) purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses—at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets and the market value of each Fund's portfolio are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of each Fund's fiscal period, the Funds do not generally isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of the changes in market prices of securities. However, the Funds do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency-denominated securities pursuant to US federal income tax regulations. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with US federal income tax regulations.

E. Forward foreign currency contracts: A forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Risks associated with such contracts include movement in the value of the foreign currency relative to the US dollar and the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The Funds may purchase or sell currencies and/or engage in forward foreign currency transactions in order to expedite settlement of portfolio transactions, manage currency risk or to gain exposure to a currency without purchasing securities denominated in that currency. Forward foreign currency contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (specifically foreign currency risk).

A Fund will enter into forward contracts to sell, for a fixed amount of US dollars or other appropriate currency, an amount of foreign currency, to the extent that the value of the short forward contract is covered by the underlying value of securities denominated in the currency being sold. Alternatively, when a Fund enters into a non-cash settled forward contract to sell an amount of foreign currency, the Fund's custodian or sub-custodian will place assets in a segregated account of the Fund in an amount equal to the contract's full notional value. However, currency contracts with respect to identical currencies may be netted against each other and, in such cases, a Fund's custodian or sub-custodian will place assets in a segregated account of the Fund, in an amount equal to the net amount owed (the unrealized loss) by a Fund. If the assets placed in the account decline in value, additional cash or securities will be placed in the account on a daily basis so that the value of the account will equal the amount of the Fund's commitments with respect to such contracts.


87



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

The unrealized gain, if any, represents the credit risk to each Fund on a forward foreign currency contract. Fluctuations in the value of the open forward foreign currency contracts are recorded daily for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses on foreign forward currency contracts by the Funds. Realized gains and losses include net gains and losses recognized by each Fund on contracts which have been sold or matured.

F. Futures contracts: Each Fund may purchase or sell financial futures contracts. The Funds may purchase or sell futures contracts to increase or reduce their exposure to an asset class without purchasing or selling the underlying securities, either as a hedge or to enhance the Fund's overall total return, income or gains. Using financial futures contracts involves various market risks, including interest rate and equity risk. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. To the extent that market prices move in an unexpected direction, there is a risk that a Fund will not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contract or may realize a loss.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the "initial margin". Subsequent payments, known as "variation margin", are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying futures contracts. Such variation margin is recorded as part of Due to or Due from broker for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the futures contract is closed or expires, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures.

G. Securities traded on to-be-announced basis: Certain Funds may from time to time purchase, or sell short, securities on a to-be-announced ("TBA") basis. In a TBA transaction, the Fund commits to purchasing or selling securities for which all specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the face amount and maturity date of the underlying security transactions. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Fund, normally 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date the Fund enters into a TBA transaction, cash, US government securities or other liquid high grade debt obligations are segregated in the Funds' records in an amount equal in value to the purchase price of the TBA security. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and their current value is determined in the same manner as for other securities.

H. Swap agreements: Certain Funds may engage in swap agreements, including but not limited to interest rate, currency, total return, and credit default swap agreements. The Funds expect to enter into these transactions to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or to hedge a portion of the portfolio's duration, to protect against any increase in the price of securities a Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date, to gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible or in an attempt to enhance income or gains.

Certain Funds may enter into interest rate swap agreements with another party to receive or pay interest (e.g., an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments) to protect itself from interest rate fluctuations. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified interest rate(s) for a specified amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other. Interest rate swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and interest rate risk.

Certain Funds may enter into currency swap agreements with another party to receive or pay amounts based on changes in currency exchange rates in order to protect itself from or take advantage of exchange rate fluctuations. The Fund utilizes currency swaps to earn income and enhance returns as well as to manage the risk profile of the Fund. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified currency exchange rate(s) for a specified amount.

Currency swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk, foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk.

Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to make or receive payments in the event of a default or other credit event of a referenced security. As a buyer, a Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty, and a Fund would receive payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, a Fund will lose its periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event does occur, a Fund typically would receive full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. As a seller, a Fund would receive periodic payments from the counterparty, and a Fund would make payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, a Fund will gain the periodic stream of payments it received over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event occurs, a Fund will pay full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if a Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly and are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk.

Credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging market country involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in delivery of a security with a value other than had been anticipated (such as a party's right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). A Fund may use credit default swaps on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging market country to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where a Fund owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer's default.

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of December 31, 2011 for which a Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed under the section "Credit default swaps on credit indices—sell protection" and "Credit default swaps on corporate and sovereign issues—sell protection" in the Notes to Portfolio of investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into, if any, by a Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

The use of swap agreements involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. If UBS Global AM is incorrect in its forecast of market values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance of a Fund will be less favorable than it would have been if this investment technique was never used. Swap agreements do not involve the delivery of securities and are subject to counterparty risk. If the other party to a swap agreement defaults and fails to consummate the transaction, a Fund's risk of loss will consist of the net amount of interest or other payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive. Therefore, a Fund would consider the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk.

A Fund accrues for interim payments on swap agreements on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap agreements on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swap agreements, in addition to realized gain/loss recorded upon the termination of swap agreements on the Statement of operations. Fluctuations

in the value of swap agreements are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of swap agreements.

I. Option writing: Certain Funds may write (sell) put and call options on foreign or US securities, indices, foreign currencies and interest rate swaps (commonly referred to as swaptions), in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the markets or in an attempt to enhance income or gains. When a Fund writes a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund's Statement of assets and liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. If an option which the Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security or derivative instrument, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss (long-term or short-term, depending on the holding period of the underlying security) from the sale of the underlying security or derivative instrument and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option which a Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security or derivative instrument which the Fund purchases upon exercise of the option.

In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the derivative instrument, security, index or currency underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund selling or buying a derivative instrument, security or currency at a price different from current market value.

J. Purchased options: Certain Funds may purchase put and call options on foreign or US securities, indices, foreign currencies and interest rate swaps (commonly referred to as swaptions), as well as exchange listed call options on particular market segment indices to achieve temporary exposure to a specific security, currency, industry or geographic region. Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund pays a premium which is included in the Statement of assets and liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying futures, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

K. Short sales: Occasionally, UBS High Yield Fund may enter into short sales whereby it sells a security it generally does not own, in anticipation of a decline in the security's price. The initial amount of a short sale is recorded as a liability which is marked to market daily. Fluctuations in the value of this liability are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on the Statement of operations. If a Fund shorts a security while also holding a long position in the security (a "short against the box"), as the security price declines, the short position increases in value, offsetting the long position's decrease in value. The opposite effect occurs if the security price rises. A Fund will realize a gain or loss upon closing of the short sale (returning the security to the counterparty by way of purchase or delivery of a long position owned). The Fund is liable to the lender for any dividends or interest payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. These dividends or interest are booked as an expense or liability of the Fund. The Fund segregates collateral consisting of cash, US government securities or other liquid assets sufficient to collateralize the market value of short positions. The Fund is charged a securities loan fee in connection with short sale transactions.

For the period ended December 31, 2011, there were no short positions held by UBS High Yield Fund.

L. Dividends and distributions: It is the Funds' policy to distribute their respective net investment income monthly except UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund which will distribute its net investment income, if any, quarterly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are paid annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-distribution date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains and/or return of capital is determined in accordance with US federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

M. Concentration of risk: Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region, which could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable US companies and US government securities. These risks are greater with respect to securities of issuers located in emerging market countries in which the Funds invest. The ability of the issuers of debt securities held by a Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.

N. Redemption fees: Each class of each series of The UBS Funds will impose a 1% redemption fee on shares sold or exchanged within 90 days of their purchase date, subject to limited exceptions. This amount is paid to the applicable Fund, not the Advisor or UBS Global AM (US). The redemption fees retained by the Funds are disclosed in the Statement of changes in net assets.

2. Investment advisory fees and other transactions with affiliates

The Advisor, a registered investment advisor, provides the Funds with investment management services. As compensation for these services, each Fund pays the Advisor a monthly fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, based on each Fund's respective average daily net assets in accordance with the following per annum schedule:

The Funds may invest in certain affiliated investment companies also advised or managed by the Advisor. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended December 31, 2011 have been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

The Funds may invest in UBS Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund ("Cash Prime"). Cash Prime is offered as a cash management option only to mutual funds and certain other accounts. Distributions received from Cash Prime are reflected as affiliated interest income in the Statement of operations. Amounts relating to those investments at December 31, 2011 and for the period then ended have been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

Under normal conditions, the Funds invest cash collateral from securities lending activities into an affiliated private money market fund, UBS Private Money Market Fund LLC ("Private Money Market"), which operates in compliance with most of the substantive provisions of Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Private Money Market is managed by the Advisor and is offered as a cash management option only to mutual funds and certain other accounts managed by the Advisor.

5. Securities lending

Each Fund may lend securities up to 331/3% of its total assets to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are secured at all times by cash, cash equivalents or US government securities in an amount at least equal to 102% of the market value of the securities loaned with respect to domestic securities and 105% of the market value of the securities loaned with respect to foreign securities, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly.

Each Fund will regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or US government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees.

UBS Core Plus Bond Fund loaned securities to certain qualified broker-dealers, with the Funds' custodian acting as the Funds' lending agent.

UBS High Yield Fund had capital loss carryforwards in the amount of $33,835,770 that expired as of June 30, 2011.

Post-October losses are deemed to arise on the first business day of a Fund's next taxable year. For the year ended June 30, 2011, the following Funds incurred, and elected to defer, losses of the following:

Fund   Net currency
losses
 
UBS High Yield Fund   $ 93    

 

As of and during the period ended December 31, 2011, the Funds did not have any liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. One of the more prominent changes addresses capital loss carryforwards. Under the Act, each Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an indefinite period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous regulation.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended June 30, 2011, or since inception in the case of UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

The Trust has entered into an agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank to provide a $50 million committed line of credit to the Funds ("Committed Credit Facility") to be utilized for temporary financing until the settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of each Fund at the request of shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. Interest on amounts borrowed is calculated based on the

prevailing rates in effect at the time of borrowing. Under the Committed Credit Facility arrangement, each Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees, pro rata, based on the relative asset size of the Funds in the Committed Credit Facility. There were no borrowings from the Committed Credit Facility during the period ended December 31, 2011.

President's letter

February 15, 2012

Dear Shareholder,

If I were asked to characterize the market environment of the past six months, I could probably crystallize it to one word: challenging. Adverse macroeconomic news—including events relating to Greece and the Eurozone, ratings downgrades and inflation concerns—weighed heavily on investor sentiment, in turn causing markets to demonstrate unusually high levels of volatility.

In this environment of uncertainty, company fundamentals were largely ignored in favor of short-term news, making it difficult for active managers to add value through security selection. We were no different, and so stock selection was the primary detractor from performance across many of our equity and asset allocation funds during the period. Our fixed income portfolios, though generally experiencing performance more in line with their benchmarks, also faced certain headwinds, including a volatile credit and interest rate environment as investor sentiment frequently shifted between risk aversion and risk-taking.

In the time since I have been writing these letters to you, I have stressed the importance of maintaining a long-term perspective. This advice, though valuable under any circumstance, is never more important to follow than during periods of extreme market volatility, when fear plays a too large role in investor decision-making.

At UBS Global Asset Management, we have always kept an eye on the long term. This perspective has required us to evolve over our 30 years of investing, to meet the demands of a more complex investment landscape—for example, by combining our valuation work with market behavioral analysis in our asset allocation portfolios to better position them to navigate market volatility. However, we have never compromised on our core belief that strict adherence to our disciplined investment process through up and down markets—although it may, on occasion, result in short-term underperformance—is the most important way, over time, that we can add value in our clients' portfolios.

As I write this, the road ahead, though never certain, seems less unsure. Signs of a solution appear to be emerging in Europe, while US economic indicators seem to be improving. Year-to-date, the S&P 500 Index—the standard-bearer of equity market performance—is in positive territory, and stock correlations and volatility appear to be moving lower. The market, once again, seems to be paying attention to fundamentals. Against this backdrop, we firmly believe that our portfolios will ultimately be rewarded for the positions we've taken, and that active managers will once again be well-positioned to add value in 2012.

As always, we remain firmly dedicated to your investment success. Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Mark E. Carver
President
The UBS Funds
Managing Director

The markets in review

Moderating growth in many countries

Although the overall US economy expanded during the reporting period, gross domestic product ("GDP") growth rates in general could best be characterized as tepid. At its August meeting, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed"), acknowledging that economic growth had been considerably slower than it expected, declared that it would keep the federal funds rate on hold until at least through mid-2013. In January 2012 (after the reporting period had ended), the Fed extended this period, noting that economic conditions warranted maintaining exceptionally low federal funds rate levels at least through late 2014.

Additionally, the Fed also announced its plan to purchase $400 billion of longer-term Treasury securities, and to sell an equal amount of shorter-term Treasury securities by June 2012. Dubbed "Operation Twist," the Fed noted that its intention with this program was to "put downward pressure on longer-term interest rates and help make broader financial conditions more accommodative."

In contrast to the US, many international economies took a step backward as the reporting period progressed. Growth in the Eurozone was negatively impacted by its ongoing sovereign debt crisis, as well as weak consumer and business confidence. In contrast, Japan's economy gained some traction, emerging from its recession in the first half of the review period. Elsewhere, while growth rates in many developing countries such as China and India surpassed their developed country counterparts, they also tended to progressively move lower during the course of the reporting period.

Global equities declined

The global equity markets experienced periods of extreme volatility during the reporting period, as a number of macro factors impacted investor sentiment. After being highly resilient and rising earlier in 2011, the US stock market fell sharply in the first half of the review period, as investor risk appetite was replaced by risk aversion. Triggering this change in sentiment were concerns about the European sovereign debt crisis, signs of decelerating global growth and the downgrade of US long-term debt. US equities then rallied sharply in the second half of the year, given signs that the economy was gaining some traction. All told, the US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,1 declined 3.69% during the six-months ended December 31, 2011.

International developed equities (as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net)2) also moved higher during the first half of 2011. However, fears of contagion from the European sovereign debt crisis and increasing signs that Europe was headed for a double-dip recession led to a very sharp decline in the first half of the period. Unlike the US, however, international equities only experienced a modest gain in the second half of the period. Overall, for the six-month period ended December 31, 2011, the MSCI EAFE Index (net) declined 16.31%. Emerging markets equities (as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net)3) generated even weaker results, falling 19.13% over the period. Concerns about a hard landing for China's economy and declining growth in the developed world drove emerging market equity prices lower.

1  The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged, weighted index composed of 500 widely held common stocks varying in composition, and is not available for direct investment. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

2  The MSCI EAFE Index (net) is an index of stocks from 22 countries designed to measure the investment returns of developed economies outside of North America. Dividends are reinvested after the deduction of withholding tax, using tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. The Index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

3  The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) is a market capitalization-weighted index composed of companies representative of the market structure of 21 emerging market countries in Europe, Latin America, and the Pacific Basin. The index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Dividends are reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, using tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. Had US tax rates been applied, the performance of the index would be different. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

UBS Global Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, Class A shares of UBS Global Equity Fund (the "Fund") declined 12.85% (Class A shares declined 17.66% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares declined 12.78%. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI World Free Index (net) (the "Index"), declined 10.29% over the same time period. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 5; please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

Both the Fund and its benchmark posted negative returns during the review period; however, the Fund slightly underperformed its index, primarily due to stock selection decisions.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Several individual stocks were positive for performance during the period.

  – Global tobacco products manufacturer Imperial Tobacco was the Fund's top-performing stock. Despite the downward trend for international equities in general, its shares moved sharply higher during the reporting period. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

  – Samsung Electronics Co. is a high-quality growth-oriented company—a segment of the market that performed relatively well in the uncertain global economic environment. The company also benefited from increased demand for smartphones and consumer electronic devices, such as flat screen televisions.

  – Google Inc. and Apple Inc. are both market leaders in their respective industries. Internet search engine company Google experienced strong revenue growth, driven by increased traffic and rising advertising revenue. Apple continued to generate exceptional results given the success of its new products, as well as very strong demand for enhanced models of the iPhone and iPad.

  – Colgate-Palmolive Co. is a leading consumer products company. Its shares moved higher as investors rewarded more defensive companies that experienced solid growth and generated strong free cash flow.

•  Sector allocation decisions positively contributed to relative performance in a number of areas. The Fund's sector allocations are a by-product of our bottom-up stock selection process. During the reporting period, having an overweight to information technology, and underweights to materials and industrials, were beneficial to the Fund's relative performance.

What didn't work

•  Overall, individual stock selection had a negative impact on performance.

  – Citigroup Inc. is a US-based multinational financial services company. It performed poorly given fears of contagion from the European sovereign debt crisis and uncertainties regarding new financial regulations. Nonetheless, the company has a very attractive valuation and a significantly improved balance sheet, as well as a valuable franchise in developing economies. We believe that the company has substantial future earnings power despite the near-term uncertainty.

UBS Global Equity Fund

  – Lloyds Banking Group, a major British financial institution, detracted from performance as it faced a number of issues and posted weak earnings results. We eliminated this position after period-end, as it was no longer meeting our investment expectations. (For additional details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Sberbank of Russia is a Russian bank that experienced solid operating growth and loan growth. Despite these positives, its shares were hurt after management lowered its earnings projections. However, we believe that an improving economic picture, as well as continuing operating progress, will lead to improving earnings in the future.

  – Carrefour is a French retailer that also has extensive real estate holdings in the country. Carrefour's shares declined as it produced disappointing operating results. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

•  Sector allocations in several areas detracted from results. During the reporting period, having an overweight to financials and underweights to energy and consumer staples were negatives for the Fund's relative performance.

Portfolio highlights

•  Imperial Tobacco is a well-managed, global tobacco products manufacturer. This defensive company's shares performed well, as it continued to generate strong free cash flow and offered an attractive dividend. Imperial Tobacco has leading market share positions in a number of highly profitable markets, including the UK, Germany, Spain and Russia. While it competes primarily in the value and mid-price ranges, the company has been successfully growing Davidoff as a global premium brand.

•  Norway-based Telenor is primarily an international wireless carrier. Its shares rose during the period, as it generated a strong cash flow. We believe the company has significant upside potential from its emerging markets operations in Asia and Eastern Europe. Additionally, Telenor is more than 50% owned by the Norwegian government and, as such, it has a high-quality credit rating.

•  Shares of UK-based Lloyds Banking Group fell sharply due to continued fears about its exposure to Europe's sovereign debt crisis and uncertainty about anticipated industry regulatory changes, and to problems resulting from its exposure to Ireland's collapsing real estate market. Furthermore, conditions in the UK commercial property market, where the company has substantial exposure to relatively poor-quality properties, has worsened significantly given the increasing risk of recession in Europe.

•  Carrefour is a leading retailer in France; with additional operations elsewhere in Europe, Latin America and Asia, it is one of the largest retailers in the world. The market is skeptical about Carrefour's ability to turn around its hypermarket (a store combining a supermarket and a department store) business in France. As a result, its shares are trading at an extremely low valuation. We believe that management has a sound strategy to make necessary operating improvements, such as reducing promotional intensity in its stores, improving inventory and expanding its private label sales. We also believe that the company's focus on return-enhancing capital allocation will help unlock the considerable value within its French and overseas operations that, in our view, are currently being overlooked by the market.

Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements/recoupments, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. 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, 2012, do not exceed 1.50% for Class A shares, 2.25% for Class B shares, 2.25% for Class C shares and 1.25% 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.

1  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.

2  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after a maximum of six years. Class B shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. On or about March 1, 2012, the Class B shares of the Fund will be converted into Class A shares of the same Fund and Class B shares will be terminated effective immediately after such conversion.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1.00%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.

4  The Fund offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  Assumes the conversion of Class B to Class A shares at the end of the sixth year.

6  The MSCI World Free Index (net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. As of May 2011, the index consisted of 24 developed market country indices. Dividends are reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, using tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. Had US tax rates been applied, the performance of the index would be different. The index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus.

Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI World Free ex USA Index (net) (the "Index"), declined 16.16% over the same time period. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 13; please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund posted a negative absolute return and underperformed its benchmark Index (which also posted a negative absolute return) during the reporting period, primarily due to stock selection.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Several individual stocks contributed to performance during the period.

  – Samsung Electronics Co. is a high-quality, growth-oriented company—a segment of the market that performed relatively well in the uncertain global economic environment. The company also benefited from increased demand for smartphones and consumer electronic devices, such as flat screen televisions.

  – Global tobacco products manufacturer Imperial Tobacco was among the Fund's top performing stocks. Despite the downward trend for international equities in general, its shares moved sharply higher during the reporting period. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

  – ASML Holding is a Dutch company and the world's largest supplier of photolithography systems for the semiconductor industry. Its shares benefited from improved capital spending for photolithography systems. In particular, ASML Holding experienced rising demand from end users involved in the manufacturing of smartphones and other consumer electronics.

  – Astra International is an Indonesian tobacco company. As was the case with Imperial Tobacco (see above), this stock performed well because it was viewed as being defensive in the uncertain macro environment. In addition, Astra is experiencing growing sales in emerging market countries.

•  Sector allocation decisions positively contributed to relative performance in a number of areas. The Fund's overall sector allocations are a byproduct of our bottom-up stock selection process. During the reporting period, having underweights to financials, materials and utilities were beneficial to the Fund's relative performance.

What didn't work

•  Overall, individual stock selection had a negative impact on performance.

  – BNP Paribas is a French bank with a significant exposure to sovereign debt risk in Europe. Uncertainties regarding the recapitalization of European banks and concerns about a downgrade to France's credit rating negatively impacted its performance during the reporting period. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

UBS International Equity Fund

  – DeNA Co. is an operator of social media, community, auction and shopping and mobile gaming for Internet sites in Japan. Its shares fell sharply after the company reported results that fell short of the company's prior projections. Its shares were further hurt following the announcement of a lawsuit being brought against the company by rival Gree, Inc. In particular, it was alleged that DeNA pressured or forced social game developers not to trade with its competitors. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

  – Petrominerales Ltd. is a Latin America-based oil exploration, development and production company. Its shares were hurt after reporting disappointing results in several of its wells. We kept this stock because we believe its valuation is extremely attractive and that its production profiles will be successful.

•  Sector allocations in several areas detracted from results. During the reporting period, having underweights to health care and consumer staples, and an overweight to industrials were negative for the Fund's relative performance.

Portfolio highlights

•  Imperial Tobacco is a well-managed, global tobacco products manufacturer. This defensive company's shares performed well, as it continued to generate strong free cash flow and it offered an attractive dividend. Imperial Tobacco has leading market share positions in a number of highly profitable markets, including the UK, Germany, Spain and Russia. While it competes primarily in the value and mid-price ranges, the company has been successfully growing Davidoff as a global premium brand.

•  Norway-based Telenor is primarily an international wireless carrier. Its shares rose during the period as it generated strong cash flow. We believe the company has significant upside potential from its emerging market operations in Asia and Eastern Europe. Additionally, Telenor is more than 50% owned by the Norwegian government and, as such, it has a high quality credit rating.

•  Fears over the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis weighed heavily on BNP Paribas shares during the reporting period. We reduced the size of the Fund's position in the stock given uncertainties in the Eurozone and given concerns over higher funding costs and the impact of forced deleveraging on the company's future growth prospects. We continue to hold this position because we believe the company has an extremely low valuation discounting the near-term fear, and considerable upside potential when the European economy improves.

•  We continue to view the DeNA Co. favorably. It is a leading developer of social games for mobile devices. The mobile social games market in Japan reached Y150bn in 2010, and is estimated to grow 14% per year through 2014. The company's game platform Mobage-town continues to attract customers, and has the ability to raise existing revenue per user by increasing hit titles and increasing billable activities in established games. We believe the company is well-positioned for overseas growth through its subsidiary ngcomo, Inc. and Gameview Studios, and recently announced a partnership with Samsung Electronics.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2011 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—2.04% and 1.25%; Class B—2.87% and 2.00%; Class C—2.82% and 2.00%; Class Y—1.78% and 1.00%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc., the Fund's investment advisor ("UBS Global AM (Americas)" or the "Advisor"), has agreed irrevocably to waive its fees and reimburse certain expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.25% for Class A shares, 2.00% for Class B shares, 2.00% for Class C shares and 1.00% for Class Y shares.

1  Inception date of UBS International Equity Fund Class A shares is June 30, 1997. Inception dates of Class B and Class C shares are February 12, 2002 and January 25, 2002, respectively. Inception date of Class Y shares and the index is August 31, 1993.

2  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after a maximum of six years. Class B shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. On or about March 1, 2012, the Class B shares of the Fund will be converted into Class A shares of the same Fund and Class B shares will be terminated effective immediately after such conversion.

4  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1.00%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.

5  The Fund offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

6  Assumes the conversion of Class B to Class A shares at the end of the sixth year.

7  The MSCI World Free ex USA Index (net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets excluding the United States. As of May 2011, the index consisted of 23 developed market country indices. Dividends are reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, using tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. Had US tax rates been applied, the performance of the index would be different. The index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus.

Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, Class A shares of UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund (the "Fund") declined 1.08% (Class A shares declined 6.48% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares declined 0.97%. The Fund's benchmark, the Citigroup Three-Month US Treasury Bill Index (the "Index"), returned 0.02% over the same time period. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 23; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund's underperformance versus its benchmark was driven by the negative returns generated by the event-driven and the European fundamental sleeves.

During the reporting period, the various sleeves in which the Fund invests used derivative instruments for efficient portfolio and risk management purposes. The use of these derivatives during the period was successful in helping to manage risk in the Fund.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  The global quantitative sleeve was the largest positive contributor to performance during the reporting period. This sleeve is based on our proprietary multi-factor model that captures key fundamental-driven investment themes: valuation, capital use, quality, growth and market behavior. Each factor is designed to have zero correlation to all other factors. In particular, the sleeve's overweight to the information technology sector and underweight to the financials sector added the most value. From a country perspective, the sleeve's overweight to Japan and underweights to Canada and Germany were the most positive for performance.

•  The US fundamental sleeve added value during the reporting period, primarily due to stock selection in the health care sector. Early in 2011, our research identified a compelling set of uncorrelated opportunities within the health care sector. One such opportunity was a biotech company that was developing a promising Hepatitis C treatment that our proprietary analysis suggested was grossly undervalued. At the end of the review period, our view was rewarded when a bid was made for the company at a premium of 89%, supporting our original investment thesis. The information technology sector also contributed positively, building on a successful track record from the previous three years.

What didn't work

•  The event-driven sleeve detracted the most from results during the reporting period. The event-driven sleeve seeks to identify and capitalize on specific events, such as reconstitutions in major global equity indexes. After a positive start into 2011, the sleeve experienced difficulties in June and October. In June, the sleeve's negative performance was mainly attributed to Russell Investments' annual reconstitution of its indexes, while in October, the sleeve was hurt by its trades related to the third quarter initial public offering (IPO) additions to the Russell indexes. The strategy's positive performance at the end of the reporting period helped to offset some of its prior weakness.

1  For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, see page 2.

UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund

•  The European fundamental sleeve also detracted from results during the reporting period. The ongoing European sovereign debt crisis and increased expectations for recession in Europe negatively impacted the sleeve during the first half of the period. Solid performance in the second half of the review period was not enough to offset its earlier weakness.

•  Overall, our strategic allocation among the various sleeves was not rewarded. In particular, we reduced the Fund's weighting in the global quantitative sleeve from 40% to 20% just prior to the start of the review period. This sleeve then performed strongly during the period, and the Fund did not fully benefit from its outperformance. As of December 31, 2011, the sleeve weightings were: US fundamental 27%, European fundamental 27%, event-driven 26%, global quantitative 20%.

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, extraordinary expenses and dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short) 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, extraordinary expenses and dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short), through the period ending October 27, 2012, do not exceed 1.75% for Class A shares, 2.50% for Class C shares and 1.50% 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.

1  Inception date of all shares of UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund and the index is June 30, 2010.

2  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.

4  The Fund offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  The Citigroup Three-Month US Treasury Bill Index is an unmanaged index reflecting monthly return equivalents of yield averages that are not marked to the market and an average of the last three 3-month T-bill month-end rates. 3-month T-bills are the short-term debt obligations of the US government. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus.

Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund (the "Fund") declined 7.28% (Class A shares declined 12.37% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares declined 7.19%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), declined 4.58% over the same time period. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 41; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

Stock selection was the main detractor from the Fund's performance during the review period. Additionally, the Fund's exposure to economically sensitive sectors and stocks hurt performance when defensive sectors such as utilities and consumer staples generated the best returns during the period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Stock selection among health care names made the largest positive contribution to Fund performance.

  – Pharmasset, a biotechnology company, was by far the largest contributor to performance during the period. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Alexion Pharmaceuticals, a biotech company, was a strong performer for the period primarily due to strong sales growth for its hematology treatment Soliris. We believe that Alexion will continue to surprise the market with better-than-expected earnings growth and new indications for Soliris.

•  Some of the Fund's financial stocks were positive for relative performance.

  – Visa outperformed for the year as investors grew more confident that the company's business model and market share will remain largely unaffected by the new Durbin regulations (a part of Dodd-Frank). (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – The Fund benefited from our decision to avoid Bank of America, a stock that has a significant weight in the Index. Bank of America declined during the six-month period due to problems with the ongoing integration of its Merrill Lynch acquisition and to headwinds from the bank's mortgage portfolio.

•  Apple was a top contributor to active performance. Shares of Apple rallied during the six-month period, following solid quarterly results that easily beat estimates, and were driven by strong iPhone and iPad sales. Analysts have continued to upgrade their earnings estimates for Apple, and the company is attractively valued with a strong balance sheet.

•  Several consumer staples stocks contributed to performance during the six-month period. As equity markets struggled during the period, investors bid up the share prices of staples.

  – Colgate-Palmolive was a significant contributor to performance. The company maintains a strong foothold in the oral hygiene market. Colgate, which makes more than 80% of its sales outside of North America, reported that it expects price increases in emerging markets. We are encouraged by Colgate's recent quarterly report that showed cost-cutting and operating leverage. This allowed the company to report better-than-expected earnings per share. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Kraft Foods, a consumer staples name, also performed well for the period. Kraft announced at the beginning of August 2011 that it will split into two companies, a North American grocery company and a global snack company. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Several short positions made a positive contribution to returns when the prices of the stocks declined. Notably, the Fund had a short position in BMC Software, given our belief that the company was reinvesting in lower-margin business units. Additionally, a short position in Halliburton contributed to performance as concerns over oilfield services profits increased during the period based on an unfavorable US regulatory environment. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, there were rumors in the market that Halliburton would have to pay out a settlement regarding the Macondo oil spill, which resulted in a sharp drop in the stock. We believed this drop was overdone, and decided to exit our short position.

What didn't work

•  The financial stocks held in the Fund made a negative contribution during the six-month period. Notably, the Fund's positions in Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and MetLife were large detractors from performance. Although the underlying fundamentals of the banking industry improved throughout the period, the stock prices of many financial names fell. The market focused on macro fears about increased financial regulation and its potential impact on future earnings. Concerns about the European debt crisis also put downward pressure on the prices of globally diversified financial firms. We continued to hold all three positions in the Fund at period end, as we believed they remained attractively valued.

•  Stock selection in the energy sector was negative for performance as fears of a global recession dominated the equity markets and caused energy stock prices to decline. Ultra Petroleum, Noble Corp. and Peabody Energy were hurt by natural gas prices, which fell below $3 during the period. Coal and crude oil prices also declined. We believe that prices will recover as the economy continues to improve, and that the Fund's energy holdings will benefit. (For additional details on Noble Corp., see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Several stock positions detracted from relative performance during the six months. The Fund held companies that have executed their strategy well and have good fundamentals. During this period of market volatility, however, many of these names were punished. For example, General Motors, an economically sensitive stock, declined during the period. GM has faced competitive headwinds and macroeconomic uncertainty in North America and in Europe. Recently, it has been negatively impacted by the news of fires in its Volt electric vehicles. We believe the company is attractively valued, and expect GM to successfully complete its turnaround.

•  The Fund was hindered by its underweight positions in defensive sectors such as utilities and telecommunications. Several companies within these sectors benefited from a pronounced flight-to-quality during the market volatility that characterized the period. The Fund's reduced exposure to these names was a hindrance.

•  A short position to Church & Dwight detracted from returns when the company stock price rallied. This consumer staples company benefited from investors' flight to stability. We believe that the company's shares are unattractively priced at current levels, and therefore closed the position prior to period end.

Portfolio highlights

•  Pharmasset is a biotechnology company focused on the development of nucleotide hepatitis C virus inhibitors (nucs) taken orally rather than via the traditional injection method. Pharmasset's positive drug trials increased conviction for this product. Shares were up strongly after Gilead, the largest maker of HIV medicines, agreed to buy Pharmasset at a premium. Gilead's purchase shows that the company is intent on becoming the leader in hepatitis medicines.

UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund

•  Visa remains the dominant provider of debit processing to US card issuers, and now has clarity on final debit rules. We believe pricing pressures will be modest, with Visa continuing to enjoy a significant market share, while also benefiting from the long-term transition from cash and check payments to plastic and electronic payment forms. We continue to believe Visa is attractively valued, and remain overweight.

•  We believe Colgate-Palmolive is a well-run company with a strong track record of organic growth. The company has a leading market position in favorable categories with a clear focus, such as oral care, and a high-margin, high-growth business with strong brand loyalty. Colgate also benefits from high exposure to the emerging markets, as well as strong capability in innovation and branding. Colgate has an attractive valuation and is a top overweight in the portfolio.

•  Kraft Foods is undergoing a turnaround and improvement effort that we believe is not yet fully appreciated by the market. We see a renewed and increased focus on long-term growth by company management since Kraft separated from Altria. The recent acquisition of Cadbury should further improve the company's growth profile, cost structure and economies of scale, especially in Europe and the emerging markets.

•  Noble Corp. offers an attractive way to participate in offshore development activity, which is gaining share in oil production relative to onshore, while also mitigating downside risk given its current backlog. Offshore drillers as a group have lagged diversified oil service stocks on concerns over a weak supply/demand balance. However, we believe the deepwater supply/demand balance looks more favorable over the next three to five years. We see incremental demand absorbing new supply, driven by Brazil, West Africa, a return to the Gulf of Mexico and emerging areas that are off most investors' radar screens, such as East Africa, the Black Sea and Asia. Noble should particularly benefit from the resumption of drilling activity in Mexico, where the company currently has a number of idle rigs.

5  The Russell 1000 Index is designed to measure the performance of the large-cap segment of the US equity universe. It is a subset of the Russell 3000 Index and includes approximately 1000 of the largest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell 1000 represents approximately 92% of the US market. The Russell 1000 Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the large-cap segment and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus.

Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

Portfolio performance

Effective December 30, 2011, UBS U.S. Large Cap Value Equity Fund was renamed UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, and its benchmark was changed from the Russell 1000 Value Index to the Russell 1000 Index. For the purpose of this historical performance analysis, the U.S. Large Cap Value strategy and the Russell 1000 Value Index are used.

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund (the "Fund") declined 10.43% (Class A shares declined 15.33% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares declined 10.37%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index (the "Index"), declined 5.22% over the same time period. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 52; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

Stock selection was the main detractor from the Fund's performance during the review period. Additionally, the Fund's exposure to economically sensitive sectors and stocks hurt performance when defensive sectors such as utilities and consumer staples generated the best returns during the period.

Important Notice About Your Fund

As noted above, as of December 30, 2011, the name and investment policy of UBS U.S. Large Cap Value Equity Fund changed. The purpose of these changes is to broaden and diversify the Fund's opportunity set, and provide greater potential for better risk-adjusted returns for the Fund as a whole. The Fund is now known as UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, and its benchmark has changed from the Russell 1000 Value Index to the Russell 1000 Index. For comparison purposes, over the six-month reporting period ended December 31, 2011, the Russell 1000 Index declined 4.58%. The investment universe has been expanded 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. Please see the Fund's prospectus for additional details.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Several consumer staples stocks were successful during the six-month period. As equity markets struggled, investors bid up the share prices of defensively positioned stocks. The Fund benefited from being overweight to this sector.

  – Colgate-Palmolive was a significant contributor to performance. The company maintains a strong foothold in the oral hygiene market. Colgate, which makes more than 80% of its sales outside of North America, reported that it expects price increases in emerging markets. Colgate's recent quarterly report, which showed cost-cutting and operating leverage, allowed the company to report better-than-expected earnings per share. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

1  For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, see page 2.

UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

  – Kraft Foods, another "safe haven" name, also performed well for the period. Kraft announced at the beginning of August 2011 that it will split into two companies, a North American grocery company and a global snack company. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Stock selection among health care names, and an overweight to the sector, made a positive contribution to Fund performance. Notably, UnitedHealth Group had strong performance during the period as it continued to do an excellent job of executing in the managed care space and as investors began to realize that the company still had a viable position in the post-healthcare reform world. We sold out of this position prior to period end as it approached our estimate of fair value.

•  An underweight to financial stocks was positive for relative performance.

  – The Fund's positions in Invesco and US Bancorp performed strongly relative to other financial companies that had greater exposure to investment banking and Europe. Both companies have strong, stable franchises without as much regulatory overhang as some of the larger diversified financials. We sold out of Invesco prior to period end as it approached our estimate of fair value.

  – The Fund benefited from our decision to avoid Bank of America, a stock that has a significant weight in the benchmark index. Bank of America declined during the six-month period due to problems with the ongoing integration of its Merrill Lynch acquisition and to headwinds from the bank's mortgage portfolio.

What didn't work

•  A number of financial stocks held in the Fund made a negative contribution during the six-month period. Notably, the Fund's positions in Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and MetLife were large detractors from performance. Although the underlying fundamentals of the banking industry improved throughout the period, the stock prices of many financial names fell. The market focused on macro fears about increased financial regulation and its potential impact on future earnings. Concerns about the European debt crisis also put downward pressure on the prices of globally diversified financial firms. We continue to hold Citigroup and Morgan Stanley, as we believe they continue to present compelling opportunties. However, we sold out of MetLife before period end.

•  Stock selection in the energy sector was negative for performance. Shares of Peabody Energy, a coal producer, fell as coal and crude oil prices suffered. Fears of a global recession have dominated the equity markets and caused energy stock prices to decline. Ultra Petroleum was hurt by natural gas prices, which fell below $3 during the period. We believe that prices will recover as the economy continues to improve, and that Ultra will benefit. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Several stock positions detracted from relative performance during the six months. We held companies that executed their strategies well, and that have good fundamentals. During this period of market volatility, however, many of these names were punished. For example, General Motors, an economically sensitive stock, declined during the period. GM has faced competitive headwinds and macroeconomic uncertainty in North America and in Europe. Recently, it has been negatively impacted by the news of fires in its Volt electric vehicles. We believe the company is attractively valued, and expect GM to successfully complete its turnaround.

Portfolio highlights

•  We believe Colgate-Palmolive is a well-run company with a strong track record of organic growth. The company has a leading market position in favorable categories with a clear focus, such as oral care, and a high-margin, high-growth business with strong brand loyalty. Colgate also benefits from high exposure to the emerging

UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

markets, as well as strong capability in innovation and branding. We sold out of this position prior to period end as it approached our estimate of fair value.

•  Kraft Foods underwent a turnaround and improvement effort that we believed was not fully appreciated by the market. We saw a renewed and increased focus on long-term growth by company management since Kraft separated from Altria. We sold out of this position prior to period end as it approached our estimate of fair value.

•  Ultra Petroleum suffered when the market experienced a flight-to-safety. Energy stocks were punished because investors perceived them as higher-risk and more susceptible to an economic slowdown. Weak natural gas prices have challenged Ultra, even though the company is still earning more than its cost of capital returns. We believe the stock should recover as industry gas volumes begin to come down later in 2012. This should be accelerated by reduced rig counts in key producing regions like the Haynesville shale.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the December 30, 2011 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.62% and 1.21%; Class B—2.49% and 1.96%; Class C—2.41% and 1.96%; Class Y—1.49% and 0.96%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. 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.

1  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.

2  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after a maximum of six years. Class B shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. On or about March 1, 2012, the Class B shares of the Fund will be converted into Class A shares of the same Fund and Class B shares will be terminated effective immediately after such conversion.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1.00%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.

4  The Fund offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  Assumes the conversion of Class B to Class A shares at the end of the sixth year.

6  The Russell 1000 Index is designed to measure the performance of the large-cap segment of the US equity universe. It is a subset of the Russell 3000 Index and includes approximately 1000 of the largest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell 1000 represents approximately 92% of the US market. The Russell 1000 Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the large-cap segment and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

7  The Russell 1000 Value Index is designed to measure the performance of the large-cap value segment of the US equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values. The Russell 1000 Value Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the large-cap value segment. The Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are included and that the represented companies continue to reflect value characteristics. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

8  Effective December 30, 2011, the Fund's official name and benchmark had been changed from UBS U.S. Large Cap Value Equity Fund to UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund; and from the Russell 1000 Value Index to the Russell 1000 Index respectively, which better reflects the Fund's revised investment policies.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus.

Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund (the "Fund") declined 7.60% (Class A shares declined 12.70% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares declined 7.46%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), declined 4.58% over the same time period. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 59; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that an investor would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

Stock selection was the main detractor from the Fund's performance during the review period. Additionally, the Fund's exposure to economically sensitive sectors and stocks hurt performance when defensive sectors such as utilities and consumer staples generated the best returns during the period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Stock selection among health care names made the largest positive contribution to Fund performance.

  – Pharmasset, a biotechnology company, was by far the largest contributor to performance during the period. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Alexion Pharmaceuticals, a biotech company, was a strong performer for the period primarily due to strong sales growth for its hematology treatment Soliris. We believe that Alexion will continue to surprise the market with better-than-expected earnings growth and new indications for Soliris.

•  Some of the Fund's financial stocks were positive for relative performance.

  – Visa outperformed for the year as investors grew more confident that the company's business model and market share will remain largely unaffected by the new Durbin regulations (a part of Dodd-Frank). (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – The Fund did not hold Bank of America, a stock that had a significant weight in the benchmark index. Bank of America declined during the six months under review, due to problems relating to the ongoing integration of its Merrill Lynch acquisition and due to headwinds from the bank's mortgage portfolio.

•  Several consumer staples stocks were successful during the six months. As equity markets struggled during the period, investors bid up the share prices of staples.

  – Colgate-Palmolive was a significant contributor to performance. The company maintains a strong foothold in the oral hygiene market. Colgate, which makes more than 80% of its sales outside of North America, reported that it expects price increases in emerging markets. We are encouraged by Colgate's recent quarterly report that showed cost-cutting and operating leverage. This allowed the company to report better-than-expected earnings per share. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

1  For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, see page 2.

UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

  – Kraft Foods, a consumer staples name, also performed well for the period. Kraft announced at the beginning of August 2011 that it will split into two companies, a North American grocery company and a global snack company. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Apple was a top contributor to active performance. Shares of Apple rallied during the six months, following solid quarterly results that easily beat estimates and were driven by strong iPhone and iPad sales. Analysts have continued to upgrade their earnings estimates for Apple, and the company is attractively valued with a strong balance sheet.

What didn't work

•  The Fund was hindered by its underweight positions in defensive sectors such as consumer staples and telecommunications. Several companies within these sectors benefited from a pronounced flight to quality during the market volatility that characterized the period. The Fund's reduced exposure to these names was a hindrance.

•  The financial stocks held in the Fund made a negative contribution during the six-month period. Notably, the Fund's positions in Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and MetLife were large detractors from performance. Although the underlying fundamentals of the banking industry improved throughout the period, the stock prices of many financial names fell. The market focused on macro fears about increased financial regulation and its potential impact on future earnings. Concerns about the European debt crisis also put downward pressure on the prices of globally diversified financial firms.

•  Stock selection in the energy sector was negative for performance. Ultra Petroleum was hurt by natural gas prices, which fell below $3 during the period. We believe that prices will recover as the economy continues to improve, and that Ultra will benefit. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.") Shares of Peabody Energy, a coal producer, fell as coal and crude oil prices suffered. Fears of a global recession have dominated the equity markets and caused energy stock prices to decline.

•  Several stock positions detracted from relative performance during the six months.

  – General Motors, an economically sensitive stock, declined during the period. GM has faced competitive headwinds and macroeconomic uncertainty in North America and in Europe. Recently, it has been negatively impacted by the news of fires in its Volt electric vehicles. We believe the company is attractively valued, and expect GM to successfully complete its turnaround.

  – Shares of Hewlett-Packard declined due to continued management instability. After CEO Mark Hurd resigned amid allegations of misconduct, his successor announced that the company would exit the computer business. The board overruled that business plan and brought in Meg Whitman, the third CEO in less than a year. We believe H-P's underlying business is strong, and that the stock will recover as the management situation stabilizes.

Portfolio highlights

•  Pharmasset is a biotechnology company focused on the development of nucleotide hepatitis C virus inhibitors (nucs) taken orally rather than via the traditional injection method. Pharmasset's positive drug trials increased conviction for this product. Shares were up strongly after Gilead, the largest maker of HIV medicines, agreed to buy Pharmasset at a premium. Gilead's purchase shows that the company is intent on becoming the leader in hepatitis medicines.

•  Visa remains the dominant provider of debit processing to US card issuers, and now has clarity on final debit rules. We believe pricing pressures will be modest, with Visa continuing to enjoy a significant market share, while


57



UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

also benefiting from the long-term transition from cash and check payments to plastic and electronic payment forms. We continue to believe Visa is attractively valued, and remain overweight.

•  We believe Colgate-Palmolive is a well-run company with a strong track record of organic growth. The company has a leading market position in favorable categories with a clear focus, such as oral care, and a high-margin, high-growth business with strong brand loyalty. Colgate also benefits from high exposure to the emerging markets, as well as strong capability in innovation and branding. Colgate has an attractive valuation and is a top overweight in the portfolio.

•  Kraft Foods is undergoing a turnaround and improvement effort that we believe is not yet fully appreciated by the market. We see a renewed and increased focus on long-term growth by company management since Kraft separated from Altria. The recent acquisition of Cadbury should further improve the company's growth profile, cost structure and economies of scale, especially in Europe and the emerging markets.

•  Ultra Petroleum suffered when the market experienced a flight to safety. Energy stocks were punished as investors perceived them as higher-risk and more susceptible to an economic slowdown. Weak natural gas prices have challenged Ultra, even though the company is still earning more than its cost of capital returns. We believe the stock should recover as industry gas volumes begin to come down later in 2012. This should be accelerated by reduced rig counts in key producing regions like the Haynesville shale.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2011 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.19% and 1.20%; Class B—2.06% and 1.95%; Class C—2.00% and 1.95%; Class Y—0.94% and 0.95%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements/recoupments, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. 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, 2012, 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.

1  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.

2  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after a maximum of six years. Class B shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. On or about March 1, 2012, the Class B shares of the Fund will be converted into Class A shares of the same Fund and Class B shares will be terminated effective immediately after such conversion.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1.00%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.

4  The Fund offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  Assumes the conversion of Class B to Class A shares at the end of the sixth year.

6  The Russell 1000 Index is designed to measures the performance of the large-cap segment of the US equity universe. It is a subset of the Russell 3000 Index and includes approximately 1,000 of the largest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell 1000 represents approximately 92% of the US market. The Russell 1000 Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the large-cap segment and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus.

Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund") declined 9.63% (Class A shares declined 14.59% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares declined 9.50%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the "Index"), declined 10.59% over the same time period. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 66; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

Both the Fund and its benchmark posted negative returns during the review period; however, the Fund did outperform its benchmark, primarily due to stock selection decisions.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Stock selection in health care was the main driver of relative returns. Though the sector as a whole declined, the Fund's health care names showed gains during the period.

  – Shares of Pharmasset, a biotechnology company, rose during the six-month period and was a large contributor to performance. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Questcor Pharmaceuticals was up sharply after the company reported strong third quarter results that exceeded consensus estimates. Earnings were driven by sales growth of Acthar, a drug developed for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and nephrotic syndrome.

  – ViroPharma, a biotechnology company, saw its shares rise after announcing a supplementary NDA (New Drug Application) approval for its Vancocin product. The new label should qualify Vancocin for an additional three years of market exclusivity.

•  The Fund's small cash position contributed positively to performance as the equity market declined during the summer.

•  An underweight to energy stocks was beneficial for results during the six months. The Fund's sector allocations are a by-product of our bottom-up stock selection process. As many energy stocks underperformed, the Fund benefited from its reduced exposure to these names.

•  Stock selection decisions within the information technology sector were positive for performance. OSI Systems (for details, see "Portfolio highlights") generated solid performance, as did Taleo Corp. The latter, a provider of on-demand talent management solutions, gained after its competitor, SuccessFactors Inc., agreed to be acquired by SAP for $3.4 billion.

What didn't work

•  Stock selection in the consumer staples sector detracted from relative returns. Notably, Diamond Foods, a branded nut and snack products company, saw its shares fall amid questions about how Diamond compensates its walnut growers. Investors grew concerned that the walnut issue would lead to a delay or cancellation of the previously announced acquisition of Pringles, as well as a lower stock price. We sold out of the position towards the end of the reporting period.

1  For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, see page 2.


64



UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

•  Several of the Fund's information technology holdings underperformed during the period.

  – Polycom Inc., a supplier of video and voice conferencing solutions, saw its shares fall after the company announced increased operating expenses in 2012.

  – Shares of Rovi Corp., a provider of solutions to search, manage and protect digital media, declined after management provided a cautious 2012 outlook.

  – Acme Packet, a provider of networking equipment, underperformed as investors worried that the company's service provider customers remain cautious on capital expenditures.

•  Certain consumer discretionary holdings generated poor results during the six months. Notably, the stock price of Imax Corp. was under pressure due to weaker-than-expected box office results. We added to our position during the dip. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

Portfolio highlights

•  Pharmasset's positive drug trials increased conviction for its hepatitis C virus inhibitor. Shares were up strongly after Gilead, the largest maker of HIV medicines, agreed to buy Pharmasset at a significant premium in the fourth quarter. Gilead's purchase shows that the company is intent on becoming the leader in hepatitis medicines. We sold out of this position prior to period end, as we felt that Pharmasset's upside potential was capped when it was purchased by Gilead.

•  OSI Systems Inc. is a manufacturer of security inspection systems and medical monitoring systems. Its shares rose after the company reported strong quarterly results with strong bookings and backlog growth. The company recently announced a major deal with the port of Puerto Rico, in which OSI will provide equipment, as well as turnkey cargo screening services at the port. The company is also in the process of launching a new CT scanner for airport baggage screening, which can operate at three times the speed of current scanners with similar accuracy rates.

•  IMAX designs and manufactures projection and sound systems for large-format motion picture presentation and production in both 2D and 3D formats. IMAX stands to benefit from the recent trend toward premium movie-going experiences. Several developments should lead to greater adoption of the IMAX platform by studios and operators. These include a lower cost to convert films and theatre screens to IMAX, as well as greater consumer acceptance. The company's business model now includes a percentage of the box office revenues, which, in our view, should allow IMAX to grow profitability.

Russell 2000 Growth Index6     (10.59 )%     (2.91 )%     2.09 %     4.48 %  

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2011 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.55% and 1.41%; Class B—2.26% and 2.16%; Class C—2.38% and 2.16%; Class Y—1.14% and 1.16%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements/recoupments, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. 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, extraordinary expenses and dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short) 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 , extraordinary expenses and dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short), through the period ending October 27, 2012, do not exceed 1.40% for Class A shares, 2.15% for Class B shares, 2.15% for Class C shares and 1.15% 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.

1  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.

2  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after a maximum of six years. Class B shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. On or about March 1, 2012, the Class B shares of the Fund will be converted into Class A shares of the same Fund and Class B shares will be terminated effective immediately after such conversion.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1.00%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.

4  The Fund offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  Assumes the conversion of Class B to Class A shares at the end of the sixth year.

6  The Russell 2000 Growth Index is designed to measure the performance of the small-cap growth segment of the US equity universe. It includes those Russell 2000 Index companies with higher price-to-value ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 2000 Growth Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the small-cap growth segment. The Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true small-cap opportunity set and that the represented companies continue to reflect growth characteristics. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus.

The Fund invests in IPOs which may have a magnified impact on performance.

Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Explanation of expense disclosure

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transactional costs (as applicable); including sales charges (loads); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; service and/or distribution (12b-1) fees (if applicable); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, July 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011.

Actual expenses

The first line for each class of shares in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over a period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses paid during period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line for each class of shares in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on that Fund's actual expense ratios for each class of shares and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not that Fund's actual return for each class of shares. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs (as applicable), such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line in the table for each class of shares is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period July 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011.

1. Organization and significant accounting policies

The UBS Funds (the "Trust") is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), as amended, as an open-end management investment company currently offering multiple series representing separate investment portfolios. The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust organized on August 13, 1993. The trustees of the Trust have the authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at a par value of $0.001 per share.

The Trust has 14 Funds available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies. The following seven funds are covered in this report: UBS Global Equity Fund, UBS International Equity Fund, UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund (formerly known as UBS U.S. Large Cap Value Equity Fund), UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund, and UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund (each a "Fund", and collectively, the "Funds").

Each of the Funds is classified as a "diversified" investment company for purposes of the 1940 Act. Each Fund currently offers Class A, Class C and Class Y shares. For each Fund, except UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund and UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund, Class B shares are offered only to existing Class B shareholders with respect to the reinvestment of dividends and distributions and exchanges of Class B shares of the Funds for Class B shares of other series of the UBS Family of Funds. "UBS Family of Funds" include other UBS Funds, PACE Select Advisor Trust and other funds for which UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc. ("UBS Global AM (US)") serves as principal underwriter. UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund and UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund do not offer Class B shares. Each class represents interests in the same assets of the applicable Fund and the classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures, ongoing service and distribution charges and certain transfer agency and related services expenses. In addition, Class B shares and all corresponding reinvested dividend shares automatically convert to Class A shares within a certain number of years after issuance which varies depending upon the amount invested. Effective on or about March 1, 2012, all outstanding Class B shares will be converted to Class A shares of the same Fund. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plan, if any. Class Y shares have no service or distribution plan.

In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification for certain liabilities. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series' operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Funds' financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

A: Valuation of investments: Each Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio securities. The Funds normally obtain market values for their securities and other instruments from independent pricing sources and broker-dealers. Independent pricing sources may use reported last sale prices, official market closing prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized "evaluation" systems


102



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

that derive values based on comparable securities or instruments. An evaluation system incorporates parameters such as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/or research and evaluations by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations, if available, in determining the valuation of the portfolio securities or instruments. Securities and other instruments also may be valued based on appraisals derived from information concerning the security or instrument or similar securities or instruments received from recognized dealers in those holdings. Securities and instruments traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market and listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. ("NASDAQ") normally are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price on the valuation date available prior to valuation. Securities and instruments which are listed on US and foreign stock exchanges normally are valued at the market closing price, the last sale price on the day the securities are valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price. In cases where securities or instruments are traded on more than one exchange, the securities or instruments are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM" or the "Advisor"), the investment advisor of the Funds. UBS Global AM is an indirect wholly owned asset management subsidiary of UBS AG, an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich and Basel, Switzerland and operations in many areas of the financial services industry. If a market value is not readily available from an independent pricing source for a particular security or instrument, that security or instrument is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security's or instrument's fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the securities or instruments; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the securities or instruments are purchased and sold. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").

Certain securities or instruments in which the Funds invest are traded in markets that close before 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. Normally, developments that occur between the close of the foreign markets and 4:00 p.m., Eastern time will not be reflected in the Fund's net asset value. However, if any of the Funds determine that such developments are so significant that they will materially affect the value of the Fund's securities or instruments, the Fund may adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what the Board believes to be the fair value of these securities or instruments as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time.

Certain Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities or instruments principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation. The systematic fair valuation model may use calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs and futures contracts. If a security or instrument is valued at a "fair value," that value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security or instrument. The use of the fair valuation model may result in securities being transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair valuation hierarchy at the end of the reporting period.

The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, generally is used to value short-term debt instruments with 60 days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Board determines that this does not represent fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective investment company. Pursuant to the use of the practical expedient within ASC Topic 820, investments in non-registered investment companies are also valued at the daily net asset value. All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued daily in US dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by the Funds' custodian.

Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily using forward exchange rates quoted by independent pricing services.

GAAP requires disclosure regarding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments.

These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs inclusive of the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

A fair value hierarchy has been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 "Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements" ("ASU 2010-06"). ASU 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3, including information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures have been implemented for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The disclosures surrounding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements have been implemented for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010.

In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")" ("ASU 2011-04"). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.

In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11"). These disclosure requirements are intended to help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a company's financial position. They also improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, including disclosure of related collateral pledged or received. In addition, ASU 2011-11 facilitates comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS. ASU 2011-11 requires entities to: disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements; and disclose instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after

January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on the Funds' financial statement disclosures.

The provisions of ASC Topic 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC Topic 815") require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. Since investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, even though a fund's investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for purposes of disclosure under ASC Topic 815. ASC Topic 815 requires that (1) objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation, (2) the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses be disclosed in a tabular format, and (3) information be disclosed about credit-risk contingent features of derivatives contracts. Details of this disclosure can be found in the Portfolio of investments. Certain derivative contracts entered into by the Funds may contain credit-risk related contingent features that could be triggered subject to certain circumstances. Such circumstances include agreed upon net asset value thresholds. If triggered, the derivative counterparty could request additional cash margin and/or terminate the derivative contract. The aggregate fair value of the derivative contracts that are in a net liability position that contain these triggers can be found in the Portfolio of investments. The aggregate fair value of assets that are already posted as collateral as of December 31, 2011 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of December 31, 2011, the Fund would be required to post additional collateral or may be required to terminate the contract and settle any amounts outstanding. The volume of derivatives as disclosed in each Fund's Portfolio of investments is representative of the volume of derivatives outstanding during the period ended December 31, 2011, except for forward foreign currency contracts for UBS Global Equity Fund, UBS International Equity Fund and UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund, for which the average volume during the period was greater than at period end.

Disclosure of derivatives by underlying risk for the Fund as of and for the period ended December 31, 2011 is as follows:

1  Statement of operations location: Net realized gain (loss) on futures contracts and forward foreign currency contracts.

2  Statement of operations location: Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on futures contracts and forward foreign currency contracts.

B. Restricted securities: The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included in each Fund's Notes to portfolio of investments.

C. Investment transactions, investment income and expenses: Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment and foreign exchange transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Dividend income and expense are recorded on the ex-dividend date ("ex-date") except in the case of certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon after the ex-date as the respective Fund, using reasonable diligence, becomes aware of such dividends. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.

Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares (or the value of dividend eligible shares, as appropriate) of each class at the beginning of the day after adjusting for current capital share activity of the respective classes. Class specific expenses are charged directly to the applicable class of shares.

D. Foreign currency translation: The Funds use the foreign currency exchange rates determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. For purposes of calculating the US dollar equivalent value of a non US dollar denominated obligation, foreign currency amounts are translated into US dollars on the following basis: (1) market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities—at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of each Fund's fiscal period; and (2) purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses—at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets and the market value of each Fund's portfolio are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of each Fund's fiscal period, the Funds do not generally isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of the changes in market prices of securities. However, the Funds do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency-denominated securities pursuant to US federal income tax regulations. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with US federal income tax regulations.

E. Forward foreign currency contracts: A forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Risks associated with such contracts include movement in the value of the foreign currency relative to the US dollar and the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The Funds may purchase or sell currencies and/or engage in forward foreign currency transactions in order to expedite settlement of portfolio transactions, manage currency risk or to gain exposure to a currency without purchasing securities denominated in that currency. Forward foreign currency contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (specifically foreign currency risk).

A Fund will enter into forward contracts to sell, for a fixed amount of US dollars or other appropriate currency, an amount of foreign currency, to the extent that the value of the short forward contract is covered by the underlying value of securities denominated in the currency being sold. Alternatively, when a Fund enters into a non-cash settled forward contract to sell an amount of foreign currency, the Fund's custodian or sub-custodian will place assets in a segregated account of the Fund in an amount equal to the contract's full notional value. However, currency contracts with respect to identical currencies may be netted against each other and, in such cases, a Fund's custodian or sub-custodian will place assets in a segregated account of the Fund, in an amount equal to the net amount owed (the unrealized loss) by a Fund. If the assets placed in the account decline in value, additional cash or securities will be placed in the account on a daily basis so that the value of the account will equal the amount of the Fund's commitments with respect to such contracts.

The unrealized gain, if any, represents the credit risk to each Fund on a forward foreign currency contract. Fluctuations in the value of the open forward foreign currency contracts are recorded daily for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses on foreign forward currency contracts by the Funds. Realized gains and losses include net gains and losses recognized by each Fund on contracts which have been sold or matured.

F. Futures contracts: Each Fund may purchase or sell financial futures contracts. The Funds may purchase or sell futures contracts to increase or reduce their exposure to an asset class without purchasing or selling the underlying securities, either as a hedge or to enhance income or gains. Using financial futures contracts involves various market risks, including equity risk. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. To the extent that market prices move in an unexpected direction, there is a risk that a Fund will not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contract or may realize a loss.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the "initial margin". Subsequent payments, known as "variation margin", are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying futures contracts. Such variation margin is recorded as part of Due to or Due from broker for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the futures contract is closed or expires, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures.

G. Short sales: UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund and UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund may each enter into short sales whereby it sells a security it generally does not own, in anticipation of a decline in the security's price. The initial amount of a short sale is recorded as a liability which is marked to market daily. Fluctuations in the value of this liability are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on the Statement of operations. If a Fund shorts a security while holding a long position in the security (a "short against the box"), as the security price declines, the short position increases in value, offsetting the long position's decrease in value. The opposite effect occurs if the security price rises. A Fund will realize a gain or loss upon closing of the short sale (returning the security to the lender by way of purchase or delivery of a long position owned). A Fund is liable to the lender for any dividends payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. These dividends are


107



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

booked as an expense or liability of the Fund. Each Fund segregates collateral consisting of cash, US government securities or other liquid assets sufficient to collateralize the market value of short positions. Each Fund is charged a securities loan fee in connection with short sale transactions. Due to the independence of portfolio management teams that manage the various Fund components, it is likely that UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund will, at times, hold the same security both long and short (which may technically result in a "short against the box").

H. Dividends and distributions: It is the Funds' policy to distribute their respective net investment income and net capital gains, if any, annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-distribution date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains and/or return of capital is determined in accordance with US federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

I. Concentration of risk: Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region, which could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable US companies and US government securities. These risks are greater with respect to securities of issuers located in emerging market countries in which the Funds invest.

Small capitalization ("small cap") companies may be more vulnerable than larger capitalization ("large cap") companies to adverse business or economic developments. Small cap companies may also have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, and may be dependent on a relatively small management group. Securities of such companies may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of large cap companies. In addition, small cap companies may not be well-known to the investing public, may not have institutional ownership and may have only cyclical, static or moderated growth prospects.

The ability of the issuers of debt securities held by a Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.

J. Commission recapture program: The Funds participate in a brokerage commission recapture program, whereby the Funds have established commission recapture arrangements with certain participating brokers or dealers. If a Fund's investment manager chooses to execute a transaction through a participating broker subject to best price and execution, the broker will rebate a portion of the commission back to the Fund. Any collateral benefit received through participation in the commission recapture program is directed exclusively to the Fund. For the period ended December 31, 2011, the following Funds recorded recaptured commissions which are reflected on the Statement of operations within the net realized gains (losses) on investments in unaffiliated issuers:

Fund   Amount  
UBS Global Equity Fund   $ 1,181    
UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund     2,194    
UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund     4,698    
UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund     16,639    

 

K. Redemption fees: Each class of each series of The UBS Funds will impose a 1% redemption fee on shares sold or exchanged within 90 days of their purchase date, subject to limited exceptions. This amount is paid to the applicable Fund, not the Advisor or UBS Global AM (US). The redemption fees retained by the Funds are disclosed in the Statement of changes in net assets.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

Under normal conditions, the Funds invest cash collateral from securities lending activities into an affiliated private money market fund, UBS Private Money Market Fund LLC ("Private Money Market"), which operates in compliance with most of the substantive provisions of Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Private Money Market is managed by the Advisor and is offered as a cash management option only to mutual funds and certain other accounts managed by the Advisor. UBS Global AM acts as managing member and receives a management fee from Private Money Market payable monthly in arrears at the annual rate of 0.10% of Private Money Market's average daily members' equity, minus the aggregate operating expenses of, and incurred by, Private Money Market during each such related month, not including investment expenses (including brokerage commissions, taxes, interest charges and other costs with respect to transactions in securities) and extraordinary expenses including litigation expenses, if any. The Advisor may, in its sole discretion, waive all or any portion of the management fee to which it may be entitled from time to time in order to maintain operating expenses at a certain level. Distributions received from Private Money Market, net of fee rebates paid to borrowers, are reflected as securities lending income in the Statement of operations.

The following Funds have incurred brokerage commissions with UBS AG, an affiliated broker-dealer. Amounts relating to those transactions for the period ended December 31, 2011, were as follows:

3. Service and distribution plans

UBS Global AM (US) is the principal underwriter of each Fund's shares. The Trust has adopted service and/or distribution plans (the "Plans") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Class A, Class B and Class C. The Plans govern payments made for the expenses incurred in the service and/or distribution of Class A, Class B and Class C. Annual fees under the Plans as a percentage of the average daily net assets of each representative class of each of the Funds are as follows:

5. Securities lending

Each Fund may lend securities up to 331/3% of its total assets to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are secured at all times by cash, cash equivalents or US government securities in an amount at least equal to 102% of the market value of the securities loaned with respect to domestic securities and 105% of the market value of the securities loaned with respect to foreign securities, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

Each Fund will regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or US government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees.

UBS Global Equity Fund, UBS International Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund and UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund loaned securities to certain qualified broker dealers, with the Funds' custodian acting as the Funds' lending agent. Cash collateral received is invested in Private Money Market, which is included in the Fund's Portfolio of investments. The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at December 31, 2011, were as follows:

Fund   Market value of
securities

7. Federal income taxes

It is each Fund's policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, each Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision was required.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were as follows:

    2011  
Fund   Distributions
paid from
ordinary
income
 
UBS Global Equity Fund   $ 3,119,145    
UBS International Equity Fund     958,768    
UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund     35,347    
UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund     425,326    
UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund     1,698,152    

 

The tax character of distributions paid and components of accumulated earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis for the current fiscal year will be determined after the Trust's fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.

At June 30, 2011, the following Funds had net capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains through the indicated expiration dates:

    Expiration dates  
Fund   June 30,
2017
  June 30,
2018
 
UBS Global Equity Fund   $     $ (28,073,690 )  
UBS International Equity Fund     (407,480 )     (12,259,376 )  
UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund     (10,000,522 )     (12,503,688 )  
UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund     (246,302 )     (20,216,588 )  
UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund     (21,228,626 )     (167,517,489 )  
UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund           (41,811,793 )  

 

As of and during the period ended December 31, 2011, the Funds did not have any liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. One of the more prominent changes addresses capital loss carryforwards. Under the Act, each Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an indefinite period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous regulation.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended June 30, 2011, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

8. Line of credit

The Trust has entered into an agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank to provide a $50 million committed line of credit to the Funds ("Committed Credit Facility") to be utilized for temporary financing until the settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of each Fund at the request of shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. Interest on amounts borrowed is calculated based on the prevailing rates in effect at the time of borrowing. Under the Committed Credit Facility arrangement, each Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees, pro rata, based on the relative asset size of the Funds in the Committed Credit Facility. The average daily borrowings under the agreement for the period ended December 31, 2011, were as follows:

Fund   Average
daily
borrowings
  Number
of days

  Interest

UBS Global Equity Fund   $ 4,327,758       5     $ 524       0.87 %  

 

There were no borrowings from the Committed Credit Facility outstanding as of December 31, 2011.

President's letter

February 15, 2012

Dear Shareholder,

If I were asked to characterize the market environment of the past six months, I could probably crystallize it to one word: challenging. Adverse macroeconomic news—including events relating to Greece and the Eurozone, ratings downgrades and inflation concerns—weighed heavily on investor sentiment, in turn causing markets to demonstrate unusually high levels of volatility.

In this environment of uncertainty, company fundamentals were largely ignored in favor of short-term news, making it difficult for active managers to add value through security selection. We were no different, and so stock selection was the primary detractor from performance across many of our equity and asset allocation funds during the period. Our fixed income portfolios, though generally experiencing performance more in line with their benchmarks, also faced certain headwinds, including a volatile credit and interest rate environment as investor sentiment frequently shifted between risk aversion and risk-taking.

In the time since I have been writing these letters to you, I have stressed the importance of maintaining a long-term perspective. This advice, though valuable under any circumstance, is never more important to follow than during periods of extreme market volatility, when fear plays a too large role in investor decision-making.

At UBS Global Asset Management, we have always kept an eye on the long term. This perspective has required us to evolve over our 30 years of investing, to meet the demands of a more complex investment landscape—for example, by combining our valuation work with market behavioral analysis in our asset allocation portfolios to better position them to navigate market volatility. However, we have never compromised on our core belief that strict adherence to our disciplined investment process through up and down markets—although it may, on occasion, result in short-term underperformance—is the most important way, over time, that we can add value in our clients' portfolios.

As I write this, the road ahead, though never certain, seems less unsure. Signs of a solution appear to be emerging in Europe, while US economic indicators seem to be improving. Year-to-date, the S&P 500 Index—the standard-bearer of equity market performance—is in positive territory, and stock correlations and volatility appear to be moving lower. The market, once again, seems to be paying attention to fundamentals. Against this backdrop, we firmly believe that our portfolios will ultimately be rewarded for the positions we've taken, and that active managers will once again be well-positioned to add value in 2012.

As always, we remain firmly dedicated to your investment success. Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Mark E. Carver
President

The markets in review

Moderating growth in many countries

Although the overall US economy expanded during the reporting period, gross domestic product ("GDP") growth rates in general could best be characterized as tepid. At its August meeting, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed"), acknowledging that economic growth had been considerably slower than it expected, declared that it would keep the federal funds rate on hold until at least through mid-2013. In January 2012 (after the reporting period had ended), the Fed extended this period, noting that economic conditions warranted maintaining exceptionally low federal funds rate levels at least through late 2014.

Additionally, the Fed also announced its plan to purchase $400 billion of longer-term Treasury securities, and to sell an equal amount of shorter-term Treasury securities by June 2012. Dubbed "Operation Twist," the Fed noted that its intention with this program was to "put downward pressure on longer-term interest rates and help make broader financial conditions more accommodative."

In contrast to the US, many international economies took a step backward as the reporting period progressed. Growth in the Eurozone was negatively impacted by its ongoing sovereign debt crisis, as well as weak consumer and business confidence. In contrast, Japan's economy gained some traction, emerging from its recession in the first half of the review period. Elsewhere, while growth rates in many developing countries such as China and India surpassed their developed country counterparts, they also tended to progressively move lower during the course of the reporting period.

Global equities declined

The global equity markets experienced periods of extreme volatility during the reporting period, as a number of macro factors impacted investor sentiment. After being highly resilient and rising earlier in 2011, the US stock market fell sharply in the first half of the review period, as investor risk appetite was replaced by risk aversion. Triggering this change in sentiment were concerns about the European sovereign debt crisis, signs of decelerating global growth and the downgrade of US long-term debt. US equities then rallied sharply in the second half of the year, given signs that the economy was gaining some traction. All told, the US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,1 declined 3.69% during the six-months ended December 31, 2011.

International developed equities (as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net)2) also moved higher during the first half of 2011. However, fears of contagion from the European sovereign debt crisis and increasing signs that Europe was headed for a double-dip recession led to a very sharp decline in the first half of the period. Unlike the US, however, international equities only experienced a modest gain in the second half of the period. Overall, for the six-month period ended December 31, 2011, the MSCI EAFE Index (net) declined 16.31%. Emerging markets equities (as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net)3) generated even weaker results, falling 19.13% over the period. Concerns about a hard landing for China's economy and declining growth in the developed world drove emerging market equity prices lower.

1  The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged, weighted index composed of 500 widely held common stocks varying in composition, and is not available for direct investment. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

2  The MSCI EAFE Index (net) is an index of stocks from 22 countries designed to measure the investment returns of developed economies outside of North America. Dividends are reinvested after the deduction of withholding tax, using tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. The Index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

3  The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) is a market capitalization-weighted index composed of companies representative of the market structure of 21 emerging market countries in Europe, Latin America, and the Pacific Basin. The index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Dividends are reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, using tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. Had US tax rates been applied, the performance of the index would be different. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

The markets in review

Riskier fixed income securities produced mixed results

The US taxable spread sectors (non-US Treasury fixed income securities) were a study in contrasts during the reporting period. Over the first half of the period, investor risk aversion was often elevated due to concerns about the European sovereign debt crisis, signs of decelerating global growth and the downgrade of US long-term debt. Against this backdrop, US Treasury yields fell sharply. Risk appetite then increased at times during the second half of the period, given signs that the US economy was gaining some traction. All told, during the six months ended December 31, 2011, spread sectors typically underperformed Treasuries, and the overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays Capital US Aggregate Index,4 returned 4.98%.

Looking more closely at lower-rated fixed-income securities, the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index5 declined 0.39% during the reporting period. In contrast, emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),6 rose 3.21%. The emerging markets debt asset class was supported by continued solid growth in developing countries and generally solid demand from investors seeking to generate incremental yield in the low interest rate environment.

4  The Barclays Capital US Aggregate Index is an unmanaged broad based index designed to measure the US-dollar-denominated, investment-grade, fixed rate taxable bond market. The index includes bonds from the Treasury, government-related, corporate, mortgage-backed, asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed sectors. US agency hybrid adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) securities were added to the Index on April 1, 2007. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

5  The BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index is an unmanaged index of publicly placed non-convertible, coupon-bearing US dollar denominated below investment grade corporate debt with a term to maturity of at least one year. The index is market weighted, so that larger bond issuers have a greater effect on the index's return. However, the representation of any single bond issue is restricted to a maximum of 2% of the total index. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

6  The J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global) is an unmanaged index which is designed to track total returns for US-dollar denominated debt instruments issued by emerging market sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities: Brady bonds, loans and Eurobonds. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, Class A shares of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund (the "Fund") returned 0.83% (Class A shares declined 4.73% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 0.99%. For purposes of comparison, the BofA Merrill Lynch US Treasury 1-5 Year Index returned 1.82% over the same time period, the MSCI World Free Index (net) declined 10.29% and the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) declined 0.02%. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 6; please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund produced a modest gain during the reporting period, primarily due to currency positioning and security selection.

During the review period, we used derivatives for risk management purposes and as a tool to help enhance returns across various strategies. With respect to our currency strategy, derivatives had a direct positive impact on Fund performance. At the market level, derivatives were just one tool among others that we used to implement our market allocation strategy. Having said that, overall, our market allocation strategy detracted from Fund performance during the period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Currency strategies, overall, were positive for performance.

  – The Fund's long position in the Swiss franc was beneficial. The currency appreciated as its economic fundamentals were relatively solid during the reporting period.

  – Underweighting the euro was a modest contributor to performance, especially during the fourth quarter when the European sovereign debt crisis escalated and the euro depreciated.

•  Relative value strategies, overall, were positive for performance.

  – The Fund's long position in investment grade credit relative to treasuries was beneficial as investor appetite for yield caused bond prices to rise, and narrowed credit spreads.

  – An overweight to US large caps vs. US small caps contributed to the Fund's performance. In general, we believed, and continue to believe, that expectations for higher growth globally favors large caps with a global business, while, in our view, small caps face more difficulty as stimulus is withdrawn.

•  Security selection in several sleeves made a positive contribution to performance during the period. Security selection within the US Equity Market Neutral sleeve and US Core Bond sleeve modestly contributed to results.

UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

What didn't work

•  The Fund's positioning among risk assets detracted from results.

  – When the reporting period began, the Fund had a 30% equity market exposure. However, given a host of macro issues, including the European sovereign debt crisis and slowing global growth, we took a more conservative approach for the portfolio and moved to a net short allocation to equities in early August and September. While this was positive for performance when equities sold off sharply mid-period, it later detracted from performance when equities rebounded in the second half of the review period.

  – Within equities, a preference for international stocks was not rewarded, as they significantly lagged their US counterparts.

•  Overall, currency strategies contributed to the Fund's performance, yet we did have some detractors during the period.

  – The Fund's long position in the Mexican peso was not rewarded, as it performed poorly.

  – Having an overweight to the Polish zloty had a negative impact on the Fund's performance.

UBS Global Allocation Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, Class A shares of UBS Global Allocation Fund (the "Fund") declined 10.30% (Class A shares declined 15.26% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares declined 10.11%. The Fund's benchmark, the GSMI Mutual Fund Index (the "Index"), declined 6.22% over the same time period. For comparison purposes, the Russell 3000 Index declined 5.01%, the MSCI World Free Index (net) declined 10.29%, and the Citigroup World Government Bond Index returned 2.26% over the same period. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 23; please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund's negative performance was due primarily to security selection and market allocation decisions.

During the review period, we used derivatives for risk management purposes and as a tool to help enhance returns across various strategies. With respect to our currency strategy, derivatives had a direct positive impact on Fund performance. At the market level, derivatives were just one tool among others that we used to implement our market allocation strategy. Having said that, overall, our market allocation strategy detracted from Fund performance during the period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Currency strategies, overall, were positive for performance.

  – The Fund's overweight to the Swiss franc was beneficial. The currency appreciated as its economic fundamentals were relatively solid during the reporting period.

  – An overweight to the US dollar contributed to results. It generally performed well during periods of extreme risk aversion, given its "safe haven" status.

  – A short to the euro benefited performance, especially during the fourth quarter when the European sovereign debt crisis escalated and the euro depreciated.

•  The Fund's corporate credit overweight enhanced results during the reporting period.

  – An overweight to investment-grade corporate bonds was beneficial as they generated strong results given generally strong investor demand from investors looking to generate incremental yield in the low interest rate environment.

  – An overweight to high yield bonds was also rewarded, as they outperformed the Index during the reporting period.

1  For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, see page 2.

UBS Global Allocation Fund

What didn't work

•  Security selection was the major driver of the Fund's poor performance during the reporting period. Notably, holdings in the international all-cap growth component of the portfolio and security selection in the large-cap core/value international equity space detracted from results.

•  The Fund's positioning among risk assets detracted from results.

  – When the reporting period began, the Fund had a 68% equity market exposure, versus the Index weight of 65%. However, given a host of macro issues, including the European sovereign debt crisis and slowing global growth, we took a more conservative approach for the portfolio and reduced our equity exposure in early August and September. While this generated positive results as the equity markets sold off mid-period, it later detracted from performance when equities rallied in the last three months of the reporting period. At the end of the period, 44% of the portfolio was allocated to equities.

  – Within equities, a preference for international stocks was not rewarded, as they significantly lagged their US counterparts.

  Duration positioning was a negative for results. At the beginning of the period, the Fund's fixed income duration component was shorter than the Index, as we felt US yields would move higher as the US economic expansion continued. With economic growth in the US hitting a soft patch, however, we then moved to a neutral duration in August. Overall, duration positioning detracted from results as US Treasury yields moved lower during the reporting period.

•  Currency positioning was negative for the period. In particular, the Fund's overweight to the Mexican peso was not rewarded, as it performed poorly.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2011 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.27% and 1.27%; Class B—2.13% and 2.13%; Class C—2.05% and 2.05%; Class Y—0.98% and 0.98%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. 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, 2012, do not exceed 1.35% for Class A shares, 2.10% for Class B shares, 2.10% for Class C shares and 1.10% 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.

1  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.

2  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after a maximum of six years. Class B shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. On or about March 1, 2012, the Class B shares of the Fund will be converted into Class A shares of the same Fund and Class B shares will be terminated effective immediately after such conversion.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees. Prior to September 30, 2003, Class C shares were subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 1.00%; this front-end sales charge is not reflected in the average annual total returns presented for the Class C shares shown above.

4  The Fund offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  Assumes the conversion of Class B to Class A shares at the end of the sixth year.

6  The Russell 3000 Index is designed to measure the performance of the largest 3,000 US companies representing approximately 98% of the investable US equity market. The Russell 3000 Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive, unbiased, and stable barometer of the broad market and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

7  The MSCI World Free Index (net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. As of May 2011, the index consisted of 24 developed market country indices. Dividends are reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, using tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. Had US tax rates been applied, the performance of the index would be different. The index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

8  The Citigroup World Government Bond Index is an unmanaged broad-based, market capitalization-weighted index composed of straight (i.e., not floating rate or index-linked) government bonds with a one-year minimum maturity. The index is designed to track the government bond markets of 23 developed countries. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

9  The GSMI Mutual Fund Index is an unmanaged index compiled by the Advisor, constructed as follows: 65% MSCI All Country World Index (net), 15% Citigroup World Government Bond ex US Index, 15% Citigroup US Government Bond Index, 2% J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global) and 3% BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index. On December 1, 2003, the 40% Russell 3000 Index replaced the 40% Wilshire 5000 Index, and on June 1, 2005, the 3% BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index replaced the 3% BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Index. On April 30, 2009, the 65% MSCI All Country World Index (net) replaced the 40% Russell 3000 Index, 22% MSCI World ex USA Index and 3% MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net); the 15% Citigroup World Government Bond ex US Index and 15% Citigroup US Government Bond Index replaced the 9% Citigroup World Government Bond ex US Index and the 21% Citigroup US Broad Investment Grade Index. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus.

Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

UBS Global Frontier Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, Class A shares of UBS Global Frontier Fund (the "Fund") declined 15.06% (Class A shares declined 19.76% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares declined 14.89%. The Fund's benchmark, the GSMI Mutual Fund Index (the "Index"), declined 6.22% over the same time period. For comparison purposes, the MSCI World Free Index (net) declined 10.29%. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 36; please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund's negative performance was due primarily to security selection and market allocation decisions.

During the review period, we used derivatives for risk management purposes and as a tool to help enhance returns across various strategies. With respect to our currency strategy, derivatives had a direct positive impact on Fund performance. At the market level, derivatives were just one tool among others that we used to implement our market allocation strategy. Having said that, overall, our market allocation strategy detracted from Fund performance during the period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Currency strategies, overall, were positive for performance.

  – The Fund's overweight to the Swiss franc was beneficial. The currency appreciated as its economic fundamentals were relatively solid during the reporting period.

  – An overweight to the US dollar contributed to results. It generally performed well during periods of extreme risk aversion, given its "safe haven" status.

  – A short to the euro benefited performance, especially during the fourth quarter when the European sovereign debt crisis escalated and the euro depreciated.

•  The Fund's corporate credit overweight enhanced results during the reporting period.

  – An overweight to investment-grade corporate bonds was beneficial as they generated positive results given generally strong demand from investors looking to generate incremental yield in the low interest rate environment.

  – An overweight to high yield bonds was also rewarded, as they outperformed the Index during the reporting period.

What didn't work

•  Security selection was the major driver of the Fund's poor performance during the reporting period. Notably, holdings in the international all-cap growth component of the portfolio and security selection in the large-cap core/value international equity space detracted from results.

1  For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, see page 2.

UBS Global Frontier Fund

•  The Fund's positioning among risk assets detracted from results. When the reporting period began, the Fund's underlying portfolio, including a leverage factor of 50%, was overweight equity market exposure versus its benchmark index. However, given a host of macro issues, including the European sovereign debt crisis and slowing global growth, we took a slightly more conservative approach in the portfolio and reduced our equity exposure in early August and September. While this generated positive results as the equity markets sold off mid-period, it later detracted from performance when equities rallied in the last three months of the reporting period. At period end, the Fund's underlying portfolio, while applying a leverage factor of 50%, still remained overweight to equities based on our forward looking assumptions, with an estimated 66% exposure.

•  Duration positioning was a negative for results. At the beginning of the period, the Fund's fixed income duration component in the US was shorter than the Index, as we felt US yields would move higher as the US economic expansion continued. With economic growth in the US hitting a soft patch, however, we then moved to a neutral duration in August. Overall, duration positioning detracted from results as US Treasury yields moved lower during the reporting period.

•  Primary currency strategies were detrimental for performance. In particular, the Fund's overweight to the Mexican peso was not rewarded, as it performed poorly.

•  Leverage detracted from performance during the period as market allocation generated negative results in the Fund's underlying portfolio. The Fund maintained a leverage factor of approximately 50% throughout the reporting period. Given that leverage magnifies returns on the upside and the downside, the negative impact from market exposure was, therefore, amplified.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2011 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.78% and 1.54%; Class C—2.55% and 2.29%; Class Y—1.57% and 1.29%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. 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, extraordinary expenses and dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short) 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, extraordinary expenses and dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short), through the period ending October 27, 2012, do not exceed 1.40% for Class A shares, 2.15% for Class C shares and 1.15% 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.

1  Inception date of UBS Global Frontier Fund Class A, Class C and Class Y shares is July 26, 2007. Inception date of the indices, for the purpose of this illustration, is July 31, 2007.

2  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

4  The Fund offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees.

5  The MSCI World Free Index (net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. As of May 2011, the index consisted of 24 developed market country indices. Dividends are reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, using tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. Had US tax rates been applied, the performance of the index would be different. The index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

6  The GSMI Mutual Fund Index is an unmanaged index compiled by the Advisor, constructed as follows: 65% MSCI All Country World Index (net), 15% Citigroup World Government Bond ex US Index, 15% Citigroup US Government Bond Index, 2% J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global) and 3% BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index. On December 1, 2003, the 40% Russell 3000 Index replaced the 40% Wilshire 5000 Index, and on June 1, 2005, the 3% BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index replaced the 3% BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Index. On April 30, 2009, the 65% MSCI All Country World Index replaced the 40% Russell 3000 Index, 22% MSCI World ex USA Index and 3% MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net); the 15% Citigroup World Government Bond ex US Index and 15% Citigroup US Government Bond Index replaced the 9% Citigroup World Government Bond ex US Index and the 21% Citigroup US Broad Investment Grade Index. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

If an investor sells or exchanges shares less than 90 days after purchase, a redemption fee of 1.00% of the amount sold or exchanged will be deducted at the time of the transaction, except as noted otherwise in the prospectus.

Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Explanation of expense disclosure

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transactional costs (as applicable); including sales charges (loads); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; service and/or distribution (12b-1) fees (if applicable); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, July 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011.

Actual expenses

The first line for each class of shares in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over a period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses paid during period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line for each class of shares in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on that Fund's actual expense ratios for each class of shares and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not that Fund's actual return for each class of shares. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs (as applicable), such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line in the table for each class of shares is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period July 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011.

1. Organization and significant accounting policies

The UBS Funds (the "Trust") is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), as amended, as an open-end management investment company currently offering multiple series representing separate investment portfolios. The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust organized on August 13, 1993. The trustees of the Trust have the authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at a par value of $0.001 per share.

The Trust has 14 Funds available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies. The following three funds are covered in this report: UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, and UBS Global Frontier Fund (each a "Fund", and collectively, the "Funds").

Each of the Funds is classified as a "diversified" investment company with the exception of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, which is classified as "non-diversified" for purposes of the 1940 Act. Each Fund currently offers Class A, Class C and Class Y shares. For each Fund except UBS Global Frontier Fund, Class B shares are offered only to existing Class B shareholders with respect to the reinvestment of dividends and distributions and exchanges of Class B shares of the Funds for Class B shares of other series of the UBS Family of Funds. "UBS Family of Funds" include other UBS Funds, PACE Select Advisor Trust and other funds for which UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc. ("UBS Global AM (US)") serves as principal underwriter. UBS Global Frontier Fund does not offer Class B shares. Each class represents interests in the same assets of the applicable Fund and the classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures, ongoing service and distribution charges and certain transfer agency and related services expenses. In addition, Class B shares and all corresponding reinvested dividend shares automatically convert to Class A shares within a certain number of years after issuance which varies depending upon the amount invested. Effective on or about March 1, 2012, all outstanding Class B shares will be converted to Class A shares of the same fund. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plan, if any. Class Y shares have no service or distribution plan.

In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification for certain liabilities. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series' operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Funds' financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

A. Valuation of investments: Each Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio securities. The Funds normally obtain market values for their securities and other instruments from independent pricing sources and broker-dealers. Independent pricing sources may use reported last sale prices, official market closing prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized "evaluation" systems that derive values based on comparable securities or instruments. An evaluation system incorporates parameters such as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/or research and evaluations by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations, if available, in determining the valuation of the portfolio securities or instruments.


58



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

Securities and other instruments also may be valued based on appraisals derived from information concerning the security or instrument or similar securities or instruments received from recognized dealers in those holdings. Securities and instruments traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market and listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. ("NASDAQ") normally are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price on the valuation date available prior to valuation. Securities and instruments which are listed on US and foreign stock exchanges normally are valued at the market closing price, the last sale price on the day the securities are valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price. In cases where securities or instruments are traded on more than one exchange, the securities or instruments are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM" or the "Advisor"), the investment advisor of the Funds. UBS Global AM is an indirect wholly owned asset management subsidiary of UBS AG, an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich and Basel, Switzerland and operations in many areas of the financial services industry. If a market value is not readily available from an independent pricing source for a particular security or instrument, that security or instrument is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security's or instrument's fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the securities or instruments; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the securities or instruments are purchased and sold. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").

Certain securities or instruments in which the Funds invest are traded in markets that close before 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. Normally, developments that occur between the close of the foreign markets and 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, will not be reflected in the Fund's net asset value. However, if any of the Funds determine that such developments are so significant that they will materially affect the value of the Fund's securities or instruments, the Fund may adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what the Board believes to be the fair value of these securities or instruments as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time.

Certain Funds may use a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent third party to value securities or instruments principally traded in foreign markets in order to adjust for possible stale pricing that may occur between the close of the foreign exchanges and the time for valuation. The systematic fair valuation model may use calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs and futures contracts. If a security or instrument is valued at a "fair value," that value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security or instrument. The use of the fair valuation model may result in securities being transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair valuation hierarchy at the end of the reporting period.

The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, generally is used to value short-term debt instruments with 60 days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Board determines that this does not represent fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective investment company. Pursuant to the Funds' use of the practical expedient within ASC Topic 820, investments in non-registered investment companies are also valued at the daily net asset value. All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued daily in US dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by the Funds' custodian.

Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement price established each day on the exchange on which they are traded. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily using forward exchange rates quoted by independent pricing services.

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon values from third party vendors or quotations from market makers to the extent available and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of assets and liabilities. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, the swap is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board.

GAAP requires disclosure regarding the various inputs that are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

Level 2—Other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs inclusive of the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

A fair value hierarchy has been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 "Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements" ("ASU 2010-06"). ASU 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3, including information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures have been implemented for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The disclosures surrounding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements have been implemented for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010.

In April 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-03 "Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements" ("ASU 2011-03") which relates to the accounting for repurchase agreements and similar agreements, including mortgage dollar rolls, that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. ASU 2011-03 modifies the criteria for determining effective control of transferred assets and as a result certain agreements may now be accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU 2011-03 is effective prospectively for new transfers and existing transactions that are modified in the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the implications of this change and its impact on the financial statements.

In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")" ("ASU 2011-04"). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.

In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011–11 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2011–11"). These disclosure requirements are intended to help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a company's financial position. They also improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, including disclosure of related collateral pledged or received. In addition, ASU 2011-11 facilitates comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS. ASU 2011-11 requires entities to: disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements; and disclose instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on the Funds' financial statement disclosures.

The provisions of ASC Topic 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC Topic 815") require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. Since investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, even though a fund's investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for purposes of disclosure under ASC Topic 815. ASC Topic 815 requires that (1) objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation, (2) the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses be disclosed in a tabular format, and (3) information be disclosed about credit-risk contingent features of derivatives contracts. Details of this disclosure can be found below as well as in the Portfolio of investments. Certain derivative contracts entered into by the Funds may contain credit-risk related contingent features that could be triggered subject to certain circumstances. Such circumstances include agreed upon net asset value thresholds. If triggered, the derivative counterparty could request additional cash margin and/or terminate the derivative contract. The aggregate fair value of the derivative contracts that are in a net liability position that contain these triggers can be found in the Portfolio of investments. The aggregate fair value of assets that are already posted as collateral as of December 31, 2011 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of December 31, 2011, the Fund would be required to post additional collateral or may be required to terminate the contract and settle any amounts outstanding. The volume of derivatives as disclosed in UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Global Frontier Fund's Portfolio of investments is representative of the volume of derivatives outstanding during the period ended December 31, 2011, except for forward foreign currency contracts, for which the average volume during the six month period was greater than at period end. The average volume of all derivatives as disclosed in UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund's Portfolio of investments was greater during the six month period than at period end. The Funds may be sellers of protection through credit default swap agreements which are by nature credit-risk contingent (the terms of these agreements can be found within the Portfolio of investments, with further discussion in the Notes to financial statements).

B. Restricted securities: The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included in each Fund's Notes to portfolio of investments.

C. Investment transactions, investment income and expenses: Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment and foreign exchange transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Dividend income and expense are recorded on the ex-dividend date ("ex-date") except in the case of certain dividends for foreign securities which are recorded as soon after the ex-date as the respective Fund, using reasonable diligence, becomes aware of such dividends. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.

Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares (or the value of dividend eligible shares, as appropriate) of each class at the beginning of the day after adjusting for current capital share activity of the respective classes. Class specific expenses are charged directly to the applicable class of shares.

D. Foreign currency translation: The Funds use the foreign currency exchange rates determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. For purposes of calculating the US dollar equivalent value of a non US dollar denominated obligation, foreign currency amounts are translated into US dollars on the following basis: (1) market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities—at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of each Fund's fiscal period; and (2) purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses—at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets and the market value of each Fund's portfolio are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of each Fund's fiscal period, the Funds do not generally isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of the changes in market prices of securities. However, the Funds do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency-denominated securities pursuant to US federal income tax regulations. Certain foreign exchange gains


65



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with US federal income tax regulations.

E. Forward foreign currency contracts: A forward foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Risks associated with such contracts include movement in the value of the foreign currency relative to the US dollar and the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The Funds may purchase or sell currencies and/or engage in forward foreign currency transactions in order to expedite settlement of portfolio transactions, manage currency risk or to gain exposure to a currency without purchasing securities denominated in that currency. Forward foreign currency contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (specifically foreign currency risk).

A Fund will enter into forward contracts to sell, for a fixed amount of US dollars or other appropriate currency, an amount of foreign currency, to the extent that the value of the short forward contract is covered by the underlying value of securities denominated in the currency being sold. Alternatively, when a Fund enters into a non-cash settled forward contract to sell an amount of foreign currency, the Fund's custodian or sub-custodian will place assets in a segregated account of the Fund in an amount equal to the contract's full notional value. However, currency contracts with respect to identical currencies may be netted against each other and, in such cases, a Fund's custodian or sub-custodian will place assets in a segregated account of the Fund, in an amount equal to the net amount owed (the unrealized loss) by a Fund. If the assets placed in the account decline in value, additional cash or securities will be placed in the account on a daily basis so that the value of the account will equal the amount of the Fund's commitments with respect to such contracts.

The unrealized gain, if any, represents the credit risk to each Fund on a forward foreign currency contract. Fluctuations in the value of the open forward foreign currency contracts are recorded daily for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses on foreign forward currency contracts by the Funds. Realized gains and losses include net gains and losses recognized by each Fund on contracts which have been sold or matured.

F. Futures contracts: Each Fund may purchase or sell financial futures contracts. The Funds may purchase or sell futures contracts to increase or reduce their exposure to an asset class without purchasing or selling the underlying securities, either as a hedge or to enhance income or gains. Using financial futures contracts involves various market risks, including interest rate and equity risk. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. To the extent that market prices move in an unexpected direction, there is a risk that a Fund will not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contract or may realize a loss.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the "initial margin". Subsequent payments, known as "variation margin", are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying futures contracts. Such variation margin is recorded as part of Due to or Due from broker for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the futures contract is closed or expires, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures.

G. Securities traded on to-be-announced basis: Certain Funds may from time to time purchase, or sell short, securities on a to-be-announced ("TBA") basis. In a TBA transaction, the Fund commits to purchasing or selling securities for which all specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the face amount and maturity date of the underlying security transactions. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Fund, normally 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date the Fund enters into a TBA transaction, cash, US government securities or other liquid high grade debt obligations are segregated in the


66



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

Funds' records in an amount equal in value to the purchase price of the TBA security. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and their current value is determined in the same manner as for other securities.

H. Swap agreements: Certain Funds may engage in swap agreements, including but not limited to interest rate, currency, total return, and credit default swap agreements. The Funds expect to enter into these transactions to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or to hedge a portion of the portfolio's duration, to protect against any increase in the price of securities a Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date, to gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible or in an attempt to enhance income or gains.

Certain Funds may enter into interest rate swap agreements with another party to receive or pay interest (e.g., an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments) to protect itself from interest rate fluctuations. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified interest rate(s) for a specified amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other. Interest rate swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and interest rate risk.

Certain Funds may enter into currency swap agreements with another party to receive or pay amounts based on changes in currency exchange rates in order to protect itself from or take advantage of exchange rate fluctuations. The Fund utilizes currency swaps to earn income and enhance returns as well as to manage the risk profile of the Fund. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified currency exchange rate(s) for a specified amount. Currency swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk, foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk.

Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to make or receive payments in the event of a default or other credit event of a referenced security. As a buyer, a Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty, and a Fund would receive payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, a Fund will lose its periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event does occur, a Fund typically would receive full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. As a seller, a Fund would receive periodic payments from the counterparty, and a Fund would make payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, a Fund will gain the periodic stream of payments it received over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event occurs, a Fund will pay full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if a Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly and are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk.

Credit default swap agreements on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging market country involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in delivery of a security with a value other than had been anticipated (such as a party's right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). A Fund may use credit default swaps on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging market country to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where a Fund owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer's default.

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the


67



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of December 31, 2011 for which a Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed under the section "Credit default swaps on credit indices—sell protection" and "Credit default swaps on corporate and sovereign issues—sell protection" in the Notes to Portfolio of investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into, if any, by a Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

The use of swap agreements involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. If UBS Global AM is incorrect in its forecast of market values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance of a Fund will be less favorable than it would have been if this investment technique was never used. Swap agreements do not involve the delivery of securities and are subject to counterparty risk. If the other party to a swap agreement defaults and fails to consummate the transaction, a Fund's risk of loss will consist of the net amount of interest or other payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive. Therefore, a Fund would consider the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk.

A Fund accrues for interim payments on swap agreements on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap agreements on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swap agreements, in addition to realized gain/loss recorded upon the termination of swap agreements on the Statement of operations. Fluctuations in the value of swap agreements are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of swap agreements.

I. Option writing: Certain Funds may write (sell) put and call options on foreign or US securities, indices, foreign currencies and interest rate swaps (commonly referred to as swaptions), in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the markets or in an attempt to enhance income or gains. When a Fund writes a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund's Statement of assets and liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. If an option which the Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security or derivative instrument, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss (long-term or short-term, depending on the holding period of the underlying security) from the sale of the underlying security or derivative instrument and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option which a Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security or derivative instrument which the Fund purchases upon exercise of the option.

In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the derivative instrument, security, index or currency underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund selling or buying a derivative instrument, security or currency at a price different from current market value.

J. Purchased options: Certain Funds may purchase put and call options on foreign or US securities, indices, foreign currencies and interest rate swaps (commonly referred to as swaptions), as well as exchange listed call options on particular market segment indices to achieve temporary exposure to a specific security, currency, industry or geographic region. Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund pays a premium which is included in


68



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

the Statement of assets and liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying futures, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

K. Short sales: UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund may enter into short sales whereby it sells a security it generally does not own, in anticipation of a decline in the security's price. The initial amount of a short sale is recorded as a liability which is marked to market daily. Fluctuations in the value of this liability are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on the Statement of operations. If the Fund shorts a security while holding a long position in the security (a "short against the box"), as the security price declines, the short position increases in value, offsetting the long position's decrease in value. The opposite effect occurs if the security price rises. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon closing of the short sale (returning the security to the lender by way of purchase or delivery of a long position owned). The Fund is liable to the lender for any dividends payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. These dividends are booked as an expense or liability of the Fund. The Fund segregates collateral consisting of cash, US government securities or other liquid assets sufficient to collateralize the market value of short positions. The Fund is charged a securities loan fee in connection with short sale transactions.

L. Dividends and distributions: It is the Funds' policy to distribute their respective net investment income and net capital gains, if any, annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-distribution date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains and/or return of capital is determined in accordance with US federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

M. Concentration of risk: Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region, which could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable US companies and US government securities. These risks are greater with respect to securities of issuers located in emerging market countries in which the Funds invest. The ability of the issuers of debt securities held by a Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.

N. Commission recapture program: The Funds participate in a brokerage commission recapture program. The Funds have established commission recapture arrangements with certain participating brokers or dealers. If a Fund's investment manager chooses to execute a transaction through a participating broker subject to best price and execution, the broker will rebate a portion of the commission back to the Fund. Any collateral benefit received through participation in the commission recapture program is directed exclusively to the Fund. For the period ended December 31, 2011, UBS Global Allocation Fund recorded $28,801 recaptured commissions which are reflected on the Statement of operations within the net realized gains (losses) on investments in unaffiliated issuers.

O. Redemption fees: Each class of each series of The UBS Funds will impose a 1% redemption fee on shares sold or exchanged within 90 days of their purchase date, subject to limited exceptions. This amount is paid to the applicable Fund, not the Advisor or UBS Global AM (US). The redemption fees retained by the Funds are disclosed in the Statement of changes in net assets.

5. Securities lending

Each Fund may lend securities up to 331/3% of its total assets to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are secured at all times by cash, cash equivalents or US government securities in an amount at least equal to 102% of the market value of the securities loaned with respect to domestic securities and 105% of the market value of the securities loaned with respect to foreign securities, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly.

Each Fund will regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or US government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees.

UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Global Frontier Fund loaned securities to certain qualified broker-dealers, with the Funds' custodian acting as the Funds' lending agent. Cash collateral received is invested in Private Money Market, which is included in the Fund's Portfolio of investments. In addition, UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Global Frontier Fund received US Government Agency securities as collateral amounting to $7,059,046 and $40,931, respectively, which cannot be resold.

7. Federal income taxes

It is each Fund's policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, each Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision was required.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were as follows:

    2011  
Fund   Distributions
paid from
ordinary
income
 
UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund   $ 11,753,976    
UBS Global Allocation Fund     57,555,121    
UBS Global Frontier Fund     2,067,769    

 

The tax character of distributions paid and components of accumulated earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis for the current fiscal year will be determined after the Trust's fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.

At June 30, 2011, the following Funds had net capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains through the indicated expiration dates:

Fund   June 30,
2017
  June 30,

UBS Global Allocation Fund     278,395,017       862,762,158          
UBS Global Frontier Fund     12,841,328       9,543,610       3,241,353

Fund   Net capital
losses
  Net currency
losses
 
UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund   $ 4,902,321     $ 3,282,847    

 

As of and during the period ended December 31, 2011, the Funds did not have any liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. One of the more prominent changes addresses capital loss carryforwards. Under the Act, each Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an indefinite period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous regulation.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended June 30, 2011, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

8. Line of credit

The Trust has entered into an agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank to provide a $50 million committed line of credit to the Funds ("Committed Credit Facility") to be utilized for temporary financing until the settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of each Fund at the request of shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. Interest on amounts borrowed is calculated based on the prevailing rates in effect at the time of borrowing. Under the Committed Credit Facility arrangement, each Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees, pro rata, based on the relative asset size of the Funds in the Committed Credit Facility. There were no borrowings from the Committed Credit Facility during the period ended December 31, 2011.
