President's letter

August 15, 2012

Dear Shareholder,

It has been six months since my last letter to you. In that time, macroeconomic concerns—most notably those relating to Europe's sovereign debt crisis—continued to cast a pall over the marketplace. As a result, the market has had its fair share of ups and downs as investor sentiment has shifted between risk-on and risk-off. Against this backdrop, active managers, including us, continue to find it difficult to add value. For this reason, as in the prior reporting period, security selection was a primary detractor from our Funds' performance over the period.

When the markets are volatile, investors are most likely to lose sight of their long-term investment goals. The risky behavior of market timing becomes more prevalent, even though, time after time, this strategy has been proven to do more harm than good to investment portfolios.

Since I've been writing to you, I have repeatedly stressed the importance of maintaining a long-term perspective and a diversified portfolio. I'm going to take this opportunity to do so again. When markets are at their worst, practicing these two strategies may be your best defense against market volatility.

At UBS Global Asset Management we remain committed to providing you with integrated and outcome-oriented solutions that we believe can help you stay the course. For example, UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund seeks to provide investors with a flexible strategy that offers less reliance on favorable market conditions. UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund looks to generate returns via a strategy that has low correlation to the broader equity and fixed income markets. And, in April, with the launch of UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, we expanded our product line to address our shareholders' increasingly important income needs in a risk-managed manner. The underpinning to all of these investment solutions remains the experience that we have accumulated over 30 years of global investing. We're taking this experience and channeling it into solutions that we believe have the potential to well-position our clients for their investment futures.

The market is challenging investors right now, and their fortitude for staying invested for the long-term is being tested. I firmly believe, however, that by avoiding some of the mistakes that investors tend to make during times of uncertainty, and by maintaining a diversified portfolio that includes fixed income, equities and alternative-type investment solutions, investors may find their fortitude renewed.

Sincerely,

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

The markets in review

Global economic growth moderated

While the overall US economy continued to grow, the pace of the expansion decelerated during the reporting period. Looking back, the Commerce Department reported 2.5% gross domestic product ("GDP") growth in the US for the second quarter of 2011, followed by figures of 1.3% and 4.1% over the third and fourth quarters, respectively. GDP growth in the US then slowed to 2.0% and 1.5%1 in the first and second quarters of 2012.

On several occasions, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed"), acknowledging economic growth had been considerably slower than it expected, declared it would keep the extremely low federal funds rate of between 0.00% and 0.25% on hold until at least through mid-2013. Additionally, in an attempt to stimulate the economy and keep longer term interest rates low, the Fed 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"). At its meeting in June, the Fed extended Operation Twist until the end of 2012. The Fed also left the door open to a third round of quantitative easing, saying it was "prepared to take further action as appropriate to promote a stronger economic recovery and sustained improvement in labor market conditions in a context of price stability."

Economic growth in developed countries outside the US generally weakened and, in some cases, moved into negative territory during the reporting period. The fallout from the ongoing sovereign debt crisis negatively impacted growth in Europe. Several countries, including the UK, fell back into a recession, as they experienced two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. While growth rates in a number of developing countries continued to surpass developed countries, in many cases they expanded at a less robust pace during the reporting period.

Riskier fixed income securities produced strong results

While the US taxable spread sectors (non-US Treasury fixed income securities) also experienced periods of volatility during the reporting period, they ultimately produced positive returns and, in some cases, outperformed equal duration Treasuries. Risk aversion wasn't limited to the equity markets, as the spread sectors performed poorly during the first three months of the fiscal year. However, investor risk appetite was generally robust over the next six months largely due to positive US economic news. In addition, concerns related to the European sovereign debt crisis appeared to move to the back burner. Against this backdrop, high yield bonds and emerging markets debt generated solid results. Risk aversion then ruled the fixed income markets in late April and May. However, as was the case in the equity market, the spread sectors rallied sharply in June, as investor sentiment improved. All told, during the 12 months ended June 30, 2012, the overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Index,2 returned 7.47%.

Looking more closely at lower rated fixed income securities, the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index3 returned 6.57% during the reporting period. Emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),4 rose 10.90%. Despite several setbacks, demand was generally solid as investors looked to generate yield in the low interest rate environment.

1  Based on the Commerce Department's most recent estimate announced on July 27, 2012, after the Funds' fiscal period had ended.

2  The Barclays 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.

3  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.

4  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 12 months ended June 30, 2012, Class A shares of UBS Core Plus Bond Fund (the "Fund") returned 7.64% (Class A shares returned 2.79% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 7.80%. The Fund's benchmark, the Barclays US Aggregate Index (the "Index"), returned 7.47% 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, and select share classes1 outperformed the Index during the reporting period, largely due to yield curve positioning and sector allocation.

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. 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, currency management and sector allocation were positive contributors to performance, while security selection in certain spread sectors detracted from results.

Portfolio performance summary2

What worked

•  Yield curve positioning was a positive for performance. We had a yield curve flattening bias for the portfolio during the third quarter of 2011, as we expected the difference between short- and long-term rates to narrow. This was a positive for results, as the yield curve flattened during that period.

•  Overall, the Fund's positioning in several spread sectors (non-US Treasuries) modestly contributed to performance during the reporting period.

  – We tactically adjusted the Fund's exposure to investment grade corporate bonds during the fiscal year. For the majority of the reporting period we had an overweight position in the sector. This was beneficial for performance given generally solid demand from investors seeking yield in the low interest rate environment. Toward the end of the reporting period, we moved to a modest underweight versus the Index, as we found the sector to be less attractively valued.

  – A small allocation to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) contributed to results, as it was the best performing spread sector during the reporting period.

1  Class A and Class Y shares have lower expenses than Class C shares, and thus posted higher returns than Class C shares did during the reporting period.

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

UBS Core Plus Bond Fund

•  Currency positioning was additive for results. The Fund's tactical currency decisions contributed to results. The largest benefit came from the Fund's short position in the euro, which weakened during the reporting period given concerns related to the European sovereign debt crisis.

What didn't work

•  Duration positioning detracted from results. During the fiscal year, the Fund's duration in the US was largely neutral or tactically shorter than that of the Index when we felt US yields would move higher. Overall, duration positioning detracted from results when US Treasury yields moved sharply lower as economic growth decelerated and investors looked for safe havens amid the challenging macro environment.

•  Security selection of investment grade financial bonds modestly detracted from performance. Within the financials sector we emphasized more liquid, higher beta (higher risk) bank holding companies. This was a slight detractor from performance, as they were negatively impacted at times by company-specific issues, as well as by fears of contagion from the European sovereign debt crisis.

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 Fixed Income Opportunities Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2012, Class A shares of UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") returned 3.33% (Class A shares declined 1.34% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 3.60%. For comparison purposes, the BofA Merrill Lynch US Dollar 3-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index (the "Index"), returned 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 19; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes 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 positive return and outperformed the Index during the reporting period, largely due to sector allocation, security selection and currency positioning.

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.

While derivatives play a role in the overall portfolio construction process, they are just one of the tools we utilize to both manage the Fund's overall risk exposure and implement the aforementioned strategies. With that in mind, overall, the Fund's duration positioning detracted from performance. In contrast, sector allocation, security selection, currency allocations and yield curve positioning were positive contributors to performance.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

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

  – The Fund's allocations to both investment grade corporate bonds and high yield bonds were rewarded. They produced solid results given generally strong demand from investors looking to generate yield in the low interest rate environment.

  – A small allocation to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) that were lower in the capital structure was rewarded.

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

UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund

•  Security selection contributed to results.

  – Within the investment grade corporate bond market, we emphasized more liquid, higher beta (higher risk) US banks. While they experienced periods of volatility, overall they were additive to the Fund's performance during the fiscal year.

  – Security selection in emerging markets debt was a positive for results.

•  The Fund's yield curve positioning contributed to performance. We tactically adjusted the Fund's yield curve positioning among countries. At times, this included maintaining a flattening bias in the portfolio, as we expected longer-term rates to decline and the difference between short- and long-term rates to narrow. This was positive for results when the yield curve flattened during the reporting period.

•  Overall, currency positioning was beneficial for performance. Active currency decisions in several developed countries, including short positions in the euro and Australian dollar, contributed to results.

What didn't work

•  The Fund's duration positioning detracted from performance. We tactically adjusted the Fund's duration and, overall, had a short position. This detracted from results, as rates moved sharply lower during the fiscal year. (Duration measures the price sensitivity of a portfolio to interest rate changes.)

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 4.5%. 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 distribution and 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 distribution and service 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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

12  If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

13  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. Credit spreads are unaudited.

UBS Global Bond Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2012, Class A shares of UBS Global Bond Fund (the "Fund") returned 1.19% (Class A shares declined 3.38% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 1.49%. The Fund's benchmark, the Barclays Global Aggregate Index (the "Index"), returned 2.73% 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 39; 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 produced a positive return during the reporting period, but underperformed the Index, primarily due to 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

•  The Fund's yield curve positioning strategies were the largest contributor to results. We tactically adjusted the Fund's yield curve positioning throughout the fiscal year given our changing economic and market expectations. Our active management of yield curve positioning was rewarded, especially the strategies we implemented in the US, the UK and the Eurozone.

•  Overall, duration positioning was a positive for performance. We also tactically adjusted the Fund's duration during the period. In particular, duration management in the US benefited Fund performance. Duration positioning in the Eurozone was also rewarded, albeit to a lesser extent. (Duration is a measure of a portfolio's sensitivity to changes in interest rates.)

•  The Fund's currency exposures, overall, modestly contributed to performance. Our exposures to the Japanese yen and Great Britain pound aided performance during the reporting period.

UBS Global Bond Fund

What didn't work

•  Sector positioning was the largest negative for performance. The Fund's overweight to investment grade financials was not rewarded during the reporting period, as they experienced periods of weakness—largely during the second half of 2011—given fears of contagion from the European sovereign debt crisis.

•  Security selection of European industrial investment grade bonds detracted from results. Company-specific issues caused a number of the Fund's holdings in the industrials sectors to underperform.

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 Bond Fund Class A shares is November 5, 2001. Inception date of Class C shares is July 2, 2002. Inception date of Class Y shares and the Index is July 31, 1993.

2  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 4.5%. 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 distribution and service 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 distribution and service fees.

5  The Barclays Global Aggregate Index is an unmanaged broad-based, market capitalization weighted index which is designed to measure the broad global markets for US and non US corporate, government, governmental agency, supranational, mortgage-backed and asset backed fixed income securities. 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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

9  If the Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

10  Payments from/to the counterparty will be received/made upon the occurrence of bankruptcy and/or restructuring event with respect to the referenced index/obligation.

11  Payments made or received are based on the notional amount.

12  If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

13  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. Credit spreads are unaudited.

UBS High Yield Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2012, Class A shares of UBS High Yield Fund (the "Fund") returned 5.06% (Class A shares returned 0.38% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 5.27%. The Fund's benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index (the "Index"), returned 6.57% 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 53; 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 positive return during the reporting period, but underperformed the Index. Certain sector allocations along with security selection, as well as our quality biases, detracted from results.

The Fund, to a limited extent, used certain interest rate derivatives during the reporting period to manage its duration and yield curve exposure. Currency forwards were also utilized over the period to hedge the Fund's non-US dollar exposure. While derivatives play a role in the overall portfolio construction process, they 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 shorter than the Index duration positioning was not rewarded over the period and the use of currency derivatives was helpful in reducing the Fund's currency risk.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Overall, sector allocation was beneficial for performance. Given our concerns regarding decelerating global growth and periods of increased risk aversion, we added to our exposures in a number of more defensive subsectors. In particular, our allocations to utilities, telecommunications, and food and drug retailers were beneficial for results.

•  Issue selection within the diversified financials, technology, chemical and super retail subsectors helped performance. The bottom-up views of our analysts were rewarded when they identified a number of strong-performing securities in these industries.

What didn't work

•  The Fund's allocation within the financials sector was a negative for results.

  – The Fund's overweight to the insurance subsector was a drag on results. We pared our allocation to the subsector during the fiscal year as we became more defensive in light of the macro issues driving the financial markets. The Fund ended the reporting period with a modest overweight versus the Index.

  – The Fund's underweight exposure to the bank subsector detracted from performance. While it experienced periods of volatility, the subsector performed strongly during the reporting period. We added to our exposure during the fiscal year, and ended the period with a more modest underweight position.

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

UBS High Yield Fund

Issue selection in a number of subsectors detracted from results.

  – Issue selection in the bank, energy and metals/mining subsectors was a negative for performance. Company-specific issues caused a number of our holdings in these subsectors to underperform. Notably, within energy, negative news surrounding the management at one company caused it to generate very weak results.

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

•  The Fund's positioning from a quality perspective detracted from results. While we increased the portfolio's overall credit quality, mainly as a result of rising investor risk aversion and market volatility, the Fund's quality biases were negative for results.

  During the fiscal year, the Fund moved from an overweight to an underweight in securities rated CCC2 and lower. However, this move came too late, as the Fund was still overweight lower quality securities when they performed poorly. An underweight to securities rated BB3 was not rewarded, as they outperformed their lower rated B4 and CCC counterparts during the reporting period. However, we increased the Fund's allocations to securities rated BB and B during the fiscal year, as well as added to the Fund's exposure to securities rated BBB5 and cash, given our more defensive position.

•  Duration positioning detracted from results. During the review period, the Fund's duration in the US was shorter than that of the Index, as we felt that US yields would move higher. Overall, duration positioning detracted from results, as US Treasury yields moved sharply lower as economic growth decelerated and investors looked for safe havens amid the challenging macro environment.

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.

5  Debt rated BBB has aequate capacity to meet financial commitments, but more subject to adverse economic conditions.

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 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, 1.70% 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 C shares is 0.75% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 distribution and service 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.

3  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 distribution and service fees.

4  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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

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, January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012.

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 January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012.

1. Organization and significant accounting policies

The UBS Funds (the "Trust") is registered with the US 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 15 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 Funds currently offer Class A, Class C and Class Y shares. For each Fund except UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, Class B shares had been 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 Advisors 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 has never offered Class B shares. Effective on March 1, 2012, all outstanding Class B shares converted to Class A shares of the same Fund. Each class represents interests in the same assets of the applicable Fund and the classes are identical except for the differences in their sales charge structures, ongoing distribution and service charges and certain transfer agency and related services expenses. 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 ("US 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 US GAAP for SEC registrants. The Funds' financial statements are prepared in accordance with US 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


86



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 is believed 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 "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 (or a committee designated by it) 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 are 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.


87



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 (or a committee designated by it).

The Board has delegated to the UBS Global Asset Management Global Valuation Committee ("GVC") the responsibility for making fair value determinations with respect to the Funds' portfolio holdings. The GVC is comprised of representatives of management, including members of the investment team.

The GVC provides reports to the Board at each quarterly meeting regarding any securities or instruments that have been fair valued, valued pursuant to standing instructions approved by the GVC, or where non-vendor pricing sources had been used to make fair value determinations when sufficient information exists during the prior quarter. Fair valuation determinations are subject to review at least monthly by the GVC during scheduled meetings. Pricing decisions, processes, and controls over fair value determinations are subject to internal and external reviews, including annual internal compliance reviews, periodic internal audit reviews and annual review of securities valuations by the Funds' independent auditors.

The types of securities or instruments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are not limited to: foreign securities and instruments under some circumstances, as discussed below, securities of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; securities or instruments whose trading has been halted or suspended; fixed income securities that are in default and for which there is no current market value quotation; and securities or instruments that are restricted as to transfer or resale. The need to fair value a Fund's portfolio securities and other instruments may also result from low trading volume in foreign markets or thinly traded domestic securities or instruments, and when a security is subject to a trading limit or collar on the exchange or market on which it is primarily traded reaches the "limit up" or "limit down" price and no trading has taken place at that price. 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. Valuing securities and other instruments at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than valuing securities and other instruments that have readily available market quotations. Fair value determinations can also involve reliance on quantitative models employed by a fair value pricing service.

US 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.

Notes to financial statements

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

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. The new disclosures have been implemented for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and there is no change in accounting for the Funds. While the new disclosures are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011, management has determined that the Funds have not entered into transactions that can be deemed "secured borrowings" as defined by ASU 2011-03.

In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US 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 US GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 requires 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 requires 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 disclosures have been implemented for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At June 30, 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the Funds.

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 US 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

Notes to financial statements

as in the Portfolio of investments. Swap agreements, forward foreign currency contracts and options written entered into by a Fund 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 June 30, 2012 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of June 30, 2012, the Fund would be required to post additional collateral or may be required to terminate the contracts 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 year ended June 30, 2012. 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 expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included in each Fund's Portfolio footnotes.

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


94

Notes to financial statements

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.


95



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 performance. 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,


96



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 retain 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 June 30, 2012 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 on 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


97



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 a 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 year ended June 30, 2012, 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


98



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

realized capital gains and/or return of capital is determined in accordance with US federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US 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.

Investments in bonds with ratings of BB (Standard & Poor's Ratings Group) or Ba (Moody's Investors Service, Inc.) or below (commonly referred to as "high yield" bonds), or deemed of equivalent quality, have an increased risk of defaulting or otherwise being unable to honor a financial obligation. These securities are considered to be predominately speculative with respect to an issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligations. Lower-quality bonds are more likely to be subject to an issuer's default or downgrade than investment grade (higher-quality) bonds.

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:

Notes to financial statements

The Funds may invest in certain affiliated investment companies also advised or managed by the Advisor. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the year ended June 30, 2012 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 June 30, 2012 and for the year 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. 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. Amounts relating to those investments at June 30, 2012 and for the year then ended have been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

3. Distribution and service plans

UBS Global AM (US) is the principal underwriter of each Fund's shares. The Trust has adopted distribution and/or service 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:

Fund   Class A   Class B*   Class C  
UBS Core Plus Bond Fund     0.25 %     1.00 %     0.75 %  
UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund     0.25       N/A       0.75    
UBS Global Bond Fund     0.25       1.00       0.75    
UBS High Yield Fund     0.25       1.00       0.75    

 

*  Effective March 1, 2012, Class B shares converted to Class A shares of the same Fund. UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund has never offered Class B shares.

UBS Global AM (US) also receives the proceeds of the initial sales charges paid upon purchases of Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charges paid by shareholders upon certain redemptions of Class A, Class B and

4. Transfer agency and related services fees

UBS Financial Services Inc. provides certain services pursuant to a delegation of authority from BNY Mellon Investment Servicing ("BNY Mellon"), as each Fund's transfer agent, and is compensated for these services by BNY Mellon, not the Funds.

For the year ended June 30, 2012, UBS Financial Services Inc. received from BNY Mellon, not the Funds, total service fees as follows:

Fund   Amount paid  
UBS Core Plus Bond Fund   $ 2,365    
UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund     10,543    
UBS Global Bond Fund     3,852    
UBS High Yield Fund     18,373    

 

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. Cash collateral received is invested in Private Money Market, which is included in the Fund's Portfolio of investments. In addition, UBS Core Plus Bond Fund received US Government Agency 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 years ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 were as follows:

Due to inherent differences in the recognition of income, expenses and realized gains/losses under US GAAP and federal income tax purposes, permanent differences between book and tax basis reporting for the current fiscal year have been identified and appropriately reclassified. Reclassifications for the year ended June 30, 2012 were as follows:

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.

At June 30, 2012, the following Funds had pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains through the indicated expiration dates:

During the fiscal year ended June 30,2012, the following Funds utilized capital loss carryforwards to offset current year realized capital gains:

Fund   Amount  
UBS Core Plus Bond Fund   $ 1,580,868    
UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund     1,786,968    
UBS Global Bond Fund     173,895    
UBS High Yield Fund     1,649,509

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

UBS High Yield Fund had capital loss carryforwards in the amount of $14,142,061 that expired as of June 30, 2012.

Qualified late year losses are deemed to arise on the first business day of a Fund's next taxable year. For the year ended June 30, 2012, the following Funds incurred, and elected to defer, losses of the following:

        Post October capital losses  
Fund   Late year
ordinary losses
  Short-term   Long-term  
UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund   $     $ 1,899,045     $    
UBS Global Bond Fund     50,642             16,000    
UBS High Yield Fund           335,124          

 

As of and during the year ended June 30, 2012, the Funds did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended June 30, 2012, 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.

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 year ended June 30, 2012.

10. Proposed reorganization

On June 8, 2012, the Board approved the submission of an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization") to shareholders of UBS High Yield Fund, proposing to merge UBS High Yield Fund into the Nationwide High Yield Bond Fund series of Nationwide Mutual Funds. The merger is subject to the approval of the shareholders of UBS High Yield Fund and the Reorganization is intended to be a tax-free transaction. On the date of the merger, UBS High Yield Fund will exchange all of its assets at net asset value for shares of the Nationwide High Yield Bond Fund. Shareholders of UBS High Yield Fund will receive shares of the corresponding share classes of the Nationwide Fund with a value equal to the net asset value of their ownership interests in the Fund at the merger date. Effective as of the close of business on July 16, 2012, the Board approved the closure of each class of UBS High Yield Fund to new investments, including new investors, additional purchases from existing investors and purchases for exchange from other funds. Therefore, UBS High Yield Fund will no longer offer shares for purchase, except for Class A and Class Y shares that are purchased by existing investors through systematic purchase plans, discretionary advisory programs, various wrap programs and 401(k)/ retirement plans, each of which may continue to purchase shares until it is practicable for such contributions to be terminated; and shareholders will still continue to be able to redeem their shares.

More information about the proposed Reorganization will be provided to shareholders in the proxy materials. If approved by shareholders of the UBS High Yield Fund, the Reorganization is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of The UBS Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of UBS Core Plus Bond Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, UBS Global Bond Fund and UBS High Yield Fund (four of the series comprising The UBS Funds) (collectively the "Funds") as of June 30, 2012, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended and the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UBS Core Plus Bond Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, UBS Global Bond Fund and UBS High Yield Fund at June 30, 2012, the results of their operations for the year then ended and the changes in their net assets and financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Board approval of investment advisory agreements
(unaudited)

At the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of The UBS Funds (the "Trust"), held on June 7 and 8, 2012 (the "Meeting"), the Board, including those Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust or UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (the "Advisor") and its affiliates (together, the "Independent Trustees"), considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements (the "Advisory Agreements") between the Trust and the Advisor for the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS Global Frontier Fund, UBS Global Equity Fund, UBS International Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS Global Bond Fund, UBS High Yield Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and UBS Core Plus Bond Fund (each a "Fund," and together, the "Funds"). Prior to the Meeting, the Independent Trustees' counsel had sent to the Advisor a request detailing the information that the Independent Trustees wished to receive in connection with their consideration of the continuation of the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees met with their independent counsel, as well as an independent consultant engaged by the Board to assist in the annual Advisory Agreement review process, on June 4, 2012, June 7, 2012 and June 8, 2012, to discuss the materials provided to them in response to the information request, including materials prepared by the Advisor, as well as reports prepared by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper Reports"), an independent statistical compilation company, providing comparative expense information on an actual and contractual basis and comparative performance information for the Funds. The Board also made reference to information and material that had been provided to the Independent Trustees throughout the year at quarterly Board meetings.

At the Meeting, the Board considered a number of factors in connection with its deliberations concerning the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for each Fund, including: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund; (ii) the performance of the Fund and the Advisor; (iii) the Fund's expenses, costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund; and (iv) whether economies of scale are realized by the Advisor with respect to the Fund, as it grows larger, and the extent to which the economies of scale are reflected in the level of the management fees charged.

Nature, extent, and quality of services

In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to a Fund, the Board reviewed the material presented by the Advisor describing the various services provided to each Fund. The Board noted that in addition to investment management services, the Advisor provides each Fund with operational, legal, and compliance support. The Board also considered the scope and depth of the Advisor's organization and the experience and expertise of the professionals currently providing investment management and other services to the Funds. The Board considered that the Advisor was a well-established investment management organization employing investment personnel with significant experience in the investment management industry. The Board also considered the Advisor's in-house research capabilities, as well as other research services available to it, including research services available to the Advisor as a result of securities transactions effected for the Funds and the Advisor's other investment management clients, and noted that the Advisor had extensive global research capabilities. The Board also evaluated the Advisor's portfolio management process for each Fund, including the use of risk management techniques and the proprietary technologies utilized to structure the Fund's portfolio. The Board noted that various presentations had been made by investment personnel at Board meetings throughout the year concerning the Funds' investment performance and investment strategies, including the derivative strategies utilized by certain Funds.

The Board also noted and discussed the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provide to the Funds under other agreements with the Trust, including administration services provided by the Advisor, underwriting services provided by UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc. ("UBS Global AM (US)"), and sub-transfer agency services provided by UBS Financial Services Inc. ("UBS Financial Services"). In connection with the non-investment management services, the Board also considered the quarterly reports that the Advisor provides to the Board throughout the year pertaining to brokerage commissions, soft dollars, portfolio valuations, and Rule 12b-1 fees, among others. In addition, the Board considered the presentations provided with respect to distribution strategies for the Funds. The


111

Board also discussed the annual written compliance report from the Chief Compliance Officer and noted enhancements undertaken and planned with respect to the compliance program. After analyzing the services provided by the Advisor to each Fund, both quantitatively and qualitatively, including the impact of these services on investment performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to each Fund were consistent with the operational requirements of each Fund, and met the needs of the Fund's shareholders.

Performance

In evaluating the performance of each Fund, the Board analyzed the Lipper Reports, which compared the performance of each Fund with other funds in its respective peer universe over various time periods. The Board also reviewed the memoranda provided by the Advisor providing an analysis of the markets and the Funds' performance during the past year. In reviewing the Lipper Reports, the Board noted that the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund and UBS Core Plus Bond Fund each had appeared in one of the top three performance quintiles for the one-year performance period. At the Board's request, the Advisor further addressed the performance data for the UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS Global Frontier Fund, UBS International Equity Fund, UBS Global Equity Fund, UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS High Yield Fund, UBS Global Bond Fund and UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, each of which had appeared in one of the lower performance quintiles for the one-year period.

In explaining the performance of the UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Global Frontier Fund, the Advisor discussed the factors that had affected the performance of each Fund. The Advisor stated that during the one-year performance period, each Fund's more conservative stance with respect to risk may have impacted the performance of the UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Global Frontier Fund relative to their peers. Each Fund's defensive position resulted in an underweight to equities in the latter part of 2011, which negatively affected performance relative to its peers. The Advisor noted that while each Fund underperformed relative to its peer universe for the one-year performance period, each of the UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Global Frontier Fund outperformed relative to its peer universe for the three-year performance period, appearing in the second performance quintile and first performance quintile, respectively. The Advisor also stated that for the calendar year-to-date ending March 31, 2012, each of the UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Global Frontier Fund exceeded its peer universe median for the period.

With respect to the performance of the UBS International Equity Fund and UBS Global Equity Fund over the past year, the Advisor stated that stock selection was the primary reason for each Fund's underperformance compared to its peer universe. The Advisor discussed each Fund's stock selection process and stated that each Fund was well positioned in the next year to take advantage of attractively priced stocks that fit each Fund's long-term investment focus. The Advisor also noted that while each of the UBS International Equity Fund and UBS Global Equity Fund underperformed relative to its respective peer universe for the one-year performance period, each Fund exceeded its respective peer universe median for the three-year performance period.

The Advisor then discussed the factors that had a negative effect on the relative performance of the UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund during the one-year performance period. The Advisor specifically outlined the proposed strategy changes that had recently been approved by the Board for the Fund. The Advisor stated that management expected that the strategy changes when implemented would provide a more desirable risk/return target for investors of the UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund.

With respect to the performance of the UBS High Yield Fund for the one-year performance period, the Advisor noted that the Fund had a positive return but also noted that the Fund underperformed relative to its benchmark and its peer universe. In explaining the factors that contributed to the UBS High Yield Fund's relative underperformance for the one-year performance period, the Advisor noted that the Fund's positioning within the financials sector and certain industrial


112



The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements
(unaudited)

subsectors were the major contributors to the Fund's relative underperformance for the period. The Advisor also noted that although the Lipper peer universe reflects an appropriate group of peers, funds within the category are managed to several different indexes. While generally these indices are similar, allocations do vary and over time may result in performance differences, thus impacting peer relative results. The Advisor also noted that the UBS High Yield Fund performed more in line with its peers for the other performance periods presented.

With respect to the UBS Global Bond Fund, the Advisor noted that while the Fund underperformed relative to its benchmark and its peer universe for the one-year period, the Fund experienced a positive return during this time period. The Fund's weaker relative performance was partially attributable to certain sector allocation decisions, including the Fund's investments in investment grade financials, which performed poorly during the period. The Advisor discussed with the Board the performance outlook for the Fund in the upcoming year and stated that it believed that the Fund was positioned for better relative performance.

The Advisor next addressed the relative underperformance of the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund with respect to the Fund's peers. The Advisor stated that the Fund's weaker one-year return was partly attributable to certain hedges the Fund maintained to reduce overall credit market risk. While these hedges were implemented to minimize significant downside events, they generally underperformed as credit markets fared well over the period. The Advisor also discussed with the Board the Fund's strategy of investing in a wide range of fixed income securities, currencies and other investments to generate total returns under a variety of market conditions and economic cycles. The Advisor stated the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund fared poorly compared to its peers because most of the funds in its peer universe are primarily income-focused products which generally maintain long exposure to credit sectors and are less likely than the Fund to engage in hedges or maintain net short positions across interest rates, credit markets and currencies. The Advisor noted that while the funds in the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund's Lipper performance universe benefitted from their income focus during the one-year performance, the Advisor believes that over market cycles, the Fund's ability to maintain both long and short exposure across fixed income and currency markets as part of its unconstrained investment framework will be instrumental in providing attractive risk-adjusted returns for the Fund with minimal correlation to the broader fixed income and equity markets.

The Board concluded that the Advisor's explanations provided a sound basis for understanding the performance of each Fund that underperformed in comparison to its peer universe. The Board determined, after analyzing the performance data, that the performance of each Fund was acceptable as compared with relevant performance standards, given the investment strategies and risk profile of each Fund, the expectations of the shareholder base, the current market environment and the Advisor's efforts to address the underperformance issues of each Fund.

Fund fees and expenses

When considering the fees and expenses borne by each Fund, and the reasonableness of the management fees paid to the Advisor in light of the services provided to each Fund, the Board compared the fees charged by the Advisor to each Fund to fees charged to the funds in its peer group for comparable services, as provided in the Lipper Reports, on both an actual (taking into account expense limitation arrangements) and a contractual basis (assuming all funds in the peer expense group were similar in size to the respective Fund). In examining the Lipper Reports, and in reviewing comparative costs, it was noted that the results of such expense comparisons showed that the actual management fee rate for each Fund, except the UBS Global Allocation Fund, was comparable to, or lower than, the Lipper median in its respective Lipper expense group. The Board also noted that each Fund, except the UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, UBS International Equity Fund, UBS Core Plus Bond Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and UBS Global Bond Fund, had a contractual fee rate comparable to, or lower than, the Lipper median in its respective Lipper expense group. In addition, the Board reviewed the actual total expenses of each Fund and noted that each Fund, except the UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund and UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund, had total expenses that were comparable to, or lower than, the Lipper median in its respective Lipper expense group.


113

The Board first discussed the management fee of the UBS Global Allocation Fund. It was noted that the actual management fee for the UBS Global Allocation Fund was higher than the management fee of several of the funds in its Lipper expense group. The Board, however, determined that the UBS Global Allocation Fund's management fee was reasonable considering that it was not significantly higher than its Lipper expense group median and the Fund's actual total expenses were in line with the median of its Lipper expense group.

The Board next considered that the management fee of the UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund was higher than the median of its Lipper expense group on a contractual basis, but noted that the Fund's actual management fee compared favorably with the Fund's peers placing in the first quintile of the Lipper expense group. The Board also considered the UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund's total expenses, which were higher than the median of the Fund's expense group. The Advisor explained that the Fund has higher non-management expenses as compared to its peers due to the Fund's smaller asset base.

The Board next discussed the management fee of the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund. It was noted that the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund's management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group on a contractual basis, which led the Board to discuss this Fund's management fee with the Advisor. The Board noted that while the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund's contractual management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, the Fund's actual management fee and total expenses compared favorably to its peers, placing in the first quintile and second quintile, respectively, of its Lipper expense group.

The Board then considered the management fee of the UBS International Equity Fund. It was noted that the UBS International Equity Fund's management fee also was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group on a contractual basis. The Board noted that while the UBS International Equity Fund's contractual management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, the Fund's actual management fee and total expenses each placed in the first quintile in the Fund's Lipper expense group.

The Board also reviewed the management fee of the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund and noted that the contractual management fee for the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund was not significantly higher than the median of the Fund's expense group. The Board also considered that the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund's actual management fee and actual total expenses were each in the first quintile of the Fund's Lipper expense group.

The Board also noted that the contractual management fee for the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund was higher than the management fee of several of the funds in its Lipper expense group. The Board, however, noted that the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund's actual management fee and total expenses were lower than many of the Fund's peers, each ranking in the first quintile of the Fund's Lipper expense group.

With respect to the fees and expenses of the UBS Global Bond Fund, the Board noted that the Fund was above the median of its Lipper expense group with respect to contractual management fees. The Board, however, also noted that the Fund's actual management fee was lower than the median of its Lipper expense group, placing in the first quintile of its expense group. The Board also considered that the UBS Global Bond Fund had total expenses that were in line with the median of its Lipper expense group.

The Board then considered the total expenses of the UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund, noting that the total expenses of the Fund were higher than the Fund's Lipper expense group median. The Advisor explained that the UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund has higher non-management expenses as compared to its peers due to the Fund's smaller asset base. The Board also noted the Fund's management fees, on both an actual and contractual basis, were very competitive with the management fees of the funds in its Lipper expense group.


114

The Board also received and considered information about the fee rates charged to other funds and accounts that are managed by the Advisor. After discussing the information about the other funds and accounts with the Advisor, the Board determined that the fees charged by the Advisor to the Funds were within a reasonable range, giving effect to differences in services performed for such other funds and accounts as compared to such fee rates. The Board, after reviewing all pertinent material, concluded that the management fee payable under each Fund's Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable, both on an absolute basis and in comparison with the fees of other funds identified in its peer group.

Costs and profitability

The Board considered the costs of providing services to the Funds and the profitability of the Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates by reviewing the profitability analysis provided by the Advisor, including information about its fee revenues and expenses. The Board reviewed the profitability of each Fund to the Advisor and its affiliates, and the compensation that was received for providing services to each Fund. The profitability analysis, which provided information for the last three calendar years, included schedules relating to the revenue and expenses attributable to: (i) the investment advisory and administration services provided by the Advisor; (ii) the distribution and shareholder services provided by UBS Global AM (US) and UBS Financial Services; (iii) the transfer agency-related services provided by UBS Financial Services; and (iv) all services provided by the Advisor, UBS Global AM (US), and UBS Financial Services shown on a consolidated basis. In discussing the profitability analysis with the Board, the Advisor, as requested by the Board, provided the Board with a presentation on the methodology utilized in the profitability analysis. The Board noted that the methodology used for the profitability analysis provided to the Board for purposes of its annual review of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Advisor also explained to the Board the reasons for an increase or decrease in profitability of each Fund from last calendar year to this calendar year.

The Board also considered "fall-out" or ancillary benefits to the Advisor or its affiliates as the result of their relationship with the Funds; for example, the ability to attract other clients due to the Advisor's role as investment advisor to the Funds and the research services available to the Advisor through soft dollar brokerage commissions. The Independent Trustees also considered the ancillary benefits received by the Advisor's affiliates, UBS Securities LLC and UBS AG, in the form of commissions for executing securities transactions for the Funds. Upon closely examining the information provided concerning the Advisor's profitability, the Board concluded that the level of profits realized by the Advisor and its affiliates with respect to each Fund, if any, was reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services that were provided.

Economies of scale

The Board also discussed whether economies of scale are realized by the Advisor with respect to each Fund as it grows larger, and the extent to which this is reflected in the level of management fees charged. The Board noted that with respect to most Funds, any actual or potential economies of scale are, or will be, shared with the Fund and its shareholders through existing management fee breakpoints so that as the Fund grows in size, its effective management fee declines. The Board noted that each Fund, except UBS Global Frontier Fund, UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund and UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, had a breakpoint schedule that provided for continuing breakpoints past the current asset level for the Fund. Based on each Fund's fees and expenses and the Advisor's profitability analysis, the Board concluded that any actual or potential economies of scale would be reasonably shared with a Fund and its shareholders.

After full consideration of the factors discussed above, with no single factor identified as being of paramount importance, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, concluded that the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for each Fund was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

President's letter

August 15, 2012

Dear Shareholder,

It has been six months since my last letter to you. In that time, macroeconomic concerns—most notably those relating to Europe's sovereign debt crisis—continued to cast a pall over the marketplace. As a result, the market has had its fair share of ups and downs as investor sentiment has shifted between risk-on and risk-off. Against this backdrop, active managers, including us, continue to find it difficult to add value. For this reason, as in the prior reporting period, security selection was a primary detractor from our Funds' performance over the period.

When the markets are volatile, investors are most likely to lose sight of their long-term investment goals. The risky behavior of market timing becomes more prevalent, even though, time after time, this strategy has been proven to do more harm than good to investment portfolios.

Since I've been writing to you, I have repeatedly stressed the importance of maintaining a long-term perspective and a diversified portfolio. I'm going to take this opportunity to do so again. When markets are at their worst, practicing these two strategies may be your best defense against market volatility.

At UBS Global Asset Management we remain committed to providing you with integrated and outcome-oriented solutions that we believe can help you stay the course. For example, UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund seeks to provide investors with a flexible strategy that offers less reliance on favorable market conditions. UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund looks to generate returns via a strategy that has low correlation to the broader equity and fixed income markets. And, in April, with the launch of UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, we expanded our product line to address our shareholders' increasingly important income needs in a risk-managed manner. The underpinning to all of these investment solutions remains the experience that we have accumulated over 30 years of global investing. We're taking this experience and channeling it into solutions that we believe have the potential to well-position our clients for their investment futures.

The market is challenging investors right now, and their fortitude for staying invested for the long-term is being tested. I firmly believe, however, that by avoiding some of the mistakes that investors tend to make during times of uncertainty, and by maintaining a diversified portfolio that includes fixed income, equities and alternative-type investment solutions, investors may find their fortitude renewed.

Sincerely,

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

The markets in review

Global economic growth moderated

While the overall US economy continued to grow, the pace of the expansion decelerated during the reporting period. Looking back, the Commerce Department reported 2.5% gross domestic product ("GDP") growth in the US for the second quarter of 2011, followed by figures of 1.3% and 4.1% over the third and fourth quarters, respectively. GDP growth in the US then slowed to 2.0% and 1.5%1 in the first and second quarters of 2012.

On several occasions, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed"), acknowledging economic growth had been considerably slower than it expected, declared it would keep the extremely low federal funds rate of between 0.00% and 0.25% on hold until at least through mid-2013. Additionally, in an attempt to stimulate the economy and keep longer term interest rates low, the Fed 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"). At its meeting in June, the Fed extended Operation Twist until the end of 2012. The Fed also left the door open to a third round of quantitative easing, saying it was "prepared to take further action as appropriate to promote a stronger economic recovery and sustained improvement in labor market conditions in a context of price stability."

Economic growth in developed countries outside the US generally weakened and, in some cases, moved into negative territory, during the reporting period. The fallout from the ongoing sovereign debt crisis negatively impacted growth in Europe. Several countries, including the UK, fell back into a recession as they experienced two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. Elsewhere, while growth rates in numerous developing countries continued to surpass growth rates in developed countries, in many cases they expanded at a less robust pace during the reporting period.

Global equities produced mixed results

The global equity markets experienced periods of heightened volatility during the fiscal year. During the first three months of the reporting period, the US equity market fell sharply due to concerns of a double-dip recession and the ongoing European sovereign debt crisis. The US equity market then rallied over much of the next six months, given signs that the US economy was gaining some momentum and generally solid corporate profits. However, after being largely flat in April, the US market declined in May. This reversal in investor sentiment was triggered by both an escalation of the European sovereign debt crisis and indications that the US economy had hit a soft patch. Stocks rallied in June due to some signs of progress in the European crisis and expectations for additional policy accommodation by the Fed. The US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,2 returned 5.45% during the 12 months ended June 30, 2012.

The markets in review

Both international developed and emerging markets equities were extremely weak during the first three months of the reporting period. Investor sentiment for international equities was negative, given the lack of progress from European policymakers to address the sovereign debt crisis. Although stock prices moved higher over the next six months, the overhang from the situation in Europe resulted in a more muted rally than in the US. Volatility continued during the last three months of the review period, as international equities posted a double-digit decline in May. In addition to fears of contagion from the European sovereign debt crisis, global growth moderated and there were concerns about whether the Chinese government could orchestrate a soft landing for its economy. A portion of May's losses were then erased as stock prices moved higher in June. All told, international developed equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net),3 fell 13.83% during the 12 months ended June 30, 2012. Elsewhere, emerging markets equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net),4 declined 15.95%.

3  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.

4  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 12 months ended June 30, 2012, Class A shares of UBS Global Equity Fund (the "Fund") declined 7.32% (Class A shares declined 12.44% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares declined 7.15%. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI World Free Index (net) (the "Index"), declined 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 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 posted a negative absolute return and underperformed its benchmark Index during the reporting period, primarily due to stock selection decisions.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

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

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

  – Apple Inc. generated very strong results, as demand for enhanced models of the iPhone and iPad continued to exceed expectations. The company's margins also held up well despite increased competition. Apple's penetration into emerging market countries, especially China, has been strong and has helped bolster its performance.

  – Hollysys Automation Technologies Co. is a leading provider of automation and control technologies. One of its product lines includes advanced railway electronic and signaling systems. The company's results exceeded expectations during the reporting period, as it won a number of new contracts in China and elsewhere in Asia.

  – Colgate Palmolive Co. is a leading consumer products company. Its shares moved higher as investors were drawn to more defensive companies given periods of heightened risk aversion during the reporting period. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

  – Samsung Electronics Co. is a global electronics manufacturer. The company's smartphone and flat screen television sales have been strong and Samsung's tablet device is the second best-selling tablet product behind Apple's iPad. The company has also done a good job managing its expenses.

What didn't work

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

  – Carrefour, a French retailer that also has extensive real estate holdings in the country, saw its shares fall sharply during the reporting period. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

  – Petrominerales Ltd. is a Latin America-based oil and gas exploration and production company. Its shares detracted from performance, as it suffered poor drilling results. However, toward the end of June it experienced improvement in drilling operations. We believe the stock will see improved performance as the year progresses.

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

UBS Global Equity Fund

  – Lloyds Banking Group, a UK-based British financial institution, performed poorly as it faced a number of issues and posted weak earnings results. (For additional details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Citigroup Inc., a US-based multinational financial services company, generated weak results during the reporting period, as the company continued to experience issues with its legacy assets (largely mortgage-related holdings from 2007-2008). As a result, Citigroup had to adjust the prices of these assets, and write-off more assets, than previously estimated. Despite these headwinds, the company's core business remains solid, in our view, and it is making inroads in emerging market countries.

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

Portfolio highlights

•  Colgate-Palmolive is a global leader in oral care. The company also holds a large share of the personal care and household products market in the US, and is the third largest pet food manufacturer in the world. Within developed markets, its oral care business benefits from both low penetration from private labels and room for growth in emerging market countries. We feel Colgate's management is capable and focused, and the company has consistently improved its return on capital through product innovation, cost improvement and working capital control.

•  Imperial Tobacco is a well-managed, global tobacco products manufacturer. It has leading positions in key tobacco profit pools, such as the UK, Germany, Spain and Russia. While it competes primarily in the value and mid-price ranges, it has been successfully growing Davidoff as a global premium brand. The company is renowned for its ability to optimize costs and extract value from acquisitions, skills that historically have earned it the right to participate in a number of deals that have consolidated the industry to about four global players. While the company is currently dealing with several difficult country markets (i.e. Spain, Russia and the US) and is facing rising government regulation and taxation, it is successfully adjusting its prices to maintain or gain market share. Furthermore, the company is reducing operating costs to maintain or expand profit margins.

•  Carrefour is the second largest retailer in the world by sales and the leading retailer in France. It detracted from performance after reporting weak first quarter 2012 sales in its European markets. The arrival of a new Chief Executive Officer also caused investors to worry about a possible profit warning in the coming months. Given the near-term uncertainties, investors appear to be reluctant to assume there will be a significant improvement in the company's performance this year or in the near future. However, we retain high conviction in Carrefour, believing it to be extremely undervalued.

•  UK-based Lloyds Banking Group detracted from results during the reporting period. While a great deal of bad news has already been reflected in its share price, we made the decision to sell our position in the company. Conditions in the UK commercial property market, where Lloyds Banking Group has a substantial book of relatively poor quality properties, have worsened significantly with the increasing risk of a sharp recession in Europe. We believe this is likely to materially reduce the company's ability to generate capital from this source, and leave its capital ratios thin. We consider Lloyds to be a 'value-trap' and, therefore, sold the position to protect the portfolio from further underperformance.

2  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 distribution and service 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.

3  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 distribution and service fees.

4  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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

UBS International Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2012, Class A shares of UBS International Equity Fund (the "Fund") declined 15.99% (Class A shares declined 20.63% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares declined 15.88%. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI World Free ex USA Index (net) (the "Index"), declined 14.13% 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 14; 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 during the reporting period, primarily due to stock selection.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  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 and utilities and an overweight to consumer discretionary were beneficial to the Fund's relative performance.

•  Several individual stocks contributed to performance during the period.

  – Samsung Electronics Co. is a global electronics manufacturer. The company's smartphone and flat screen television sales have been strong, and Samsung's tablet device is the second best-selling tablet product behind Apple's iPad. In addition, the company has also done a good job in terms of managing its expenses.

  – Mellanox Technologies, an Israeli company that supplies interconnect products essential for cloud computing, was a top contributor to the Fund's performance during the reporting period. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

  – Kasikornbank, a leading bank located in Thailand, was a large contributor to performance. Its shares moved sharply higher as the company reported strong earnings growth, increasing loan demand and improved cost management. Kasikornbank has also been a beneficiary of government-led infrastructure programs following the country's devastating floods in late 2011.

  – Global tobacco products manufacturer Imperial Tobacco performed well and enhanced the Fund's results during the reporting period. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

What didn't work

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

  – Petrominerales Ltd. is a Latin America-based oil and gas exploration and production company. Its shares detracted from performance, as it suffered poor drilling results. However, toward the end of June it experienced improvement in drilling operations. We believe the stock will see improved performance as the year progresses.

  – Carrefour is a French retailer that also has extensive real estate holdings in the country. Its shares fell sharply during the reporting period and it was a significant detractor from performance. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

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


12



UBS International Equity Fund

  – BNP Paribas is a French bank with substantial exposure to sovereign debt risk in Europe. Investor sentiment for the company was weak, given the ongoing European sovereign debt crisis and expectations that BNP Paribas may need to adjust the value of its assets. There were also concerns that the company would have to write-off more assets than previously estimated, and that BNP Paribas would have to take further actions to recapitalize its balance sheet.

  – Xstrata Plc. is one of the world's largest global diversified mining businesses, headquartered in Switzerland. While we continue to feel the company is well- positioned, moderating economic growth in China, its most important customer, has led to reduced earnings expectations for the company.

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

•  Mellanox Technologies Ltd. designs and manufactures end-to-end InfiniBan and Ethernet connectivity solutions and services for servers and storage, both of which are key products used in cloud computing. The company reported first quarter 2012 results that exceeded estimates, and it provided a second quarter forecast that was much stronger than expected. The shares continued to perform strongly throughout the second quarter as it announced the signing of several new contracts.

•  Imperial Tobacco is a well-managed, global tobacco products manufacturer. It has leading positions in key tobacco profit pools, such as the UK, Germany, Spain and Russia. While it competes primarily in the value and mid-price ranges, it has been successfully growing Davidoff as a global premium brand. The company is renowned for its ability to optimize costs and extract value from acquisitions, skills that historically have earned it the right to participate in a number of deals that have consolidated the industry to about four global players. While the company is currently dealing with several difficult country markets (i.e. Spain, Russia and the US) and is facing rising government regulation and taxation, it is successfully adjusting its prices to maintain or gain market share. Furthermore, the company is reducing operating costs to maintain or expand profit margins.

•  Carrefour is the second largest retailer in the world by sales and the leading retailer in France. It detracted from performance after reporting weak first quarter 2012 sales in its European markets. The arrival of a new Chief Executive Officer also caused investors to worry about a possible profit warning in the coming months. Given the near-term uncertainties, investors appear to be reluctant to assume there will be a significant improvement in the company's performance this year or in the near future. However, we retain high conviction in Carrefour, believing it to be extremely undervalued.

•  ArcelorMittal, headquartered in Luxembourg, is one of the world's largest steelmakers. Its shares suffered due to signs of decelerating global growth and falling steel prices. Investor sentiment for the stock was also challenged, given concerns over whether the Chinese government could orchestrate a soft landing for its economy.

MSCI World Free ex USA Index (net)4     (14.13 )%     (5.67 )%     5.57 %  

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 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 C shares and 1.00% for Class Y shares.

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 C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 distribution and service 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.

3  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 distribution and service fees.

4  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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2012, Class A shares of UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund (the "Fund") declined 2.73% (Class A shares declined 8.04% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares declined 2.51%. The Fund's benchmark, the Citigroup Three-Month US Treasury Bill Index (the "Index"), returned 0.04% 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 25; 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 fees and expenses.)

The Fund generated a negative return during the reporting period and lagged the Index. The Fund's underperformance was driven by the negative returns generated by the European fundamental and the global quantitative sleeves of the portfolio.

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 the sleeves manage both their portfolios and risk. The Fund also successfully used currency forwards, a type of derivative instrument, to hedge its currency exposure.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  The US fundamental sleeve added the most value during the reporting period. The US fundamental sleeve performed well throughout most of the fiscal year. In the latter part of the reporting period, the Fund benefited from its positioning in the energy sector. With oil prices selling off significantly, we approximately hedged the strategy to the decline in commodity prices. This resulted in positive contributions from the sleeve's holdings in the energy and utilities sectors, whereas the materials sector was a drag on performance.

•  Overall, the event-driven sleeve modestly contributed to results during the reporting period. The event-driven sleeve seeks to identify and capitalize on specific events, such as changes in major global equity indices. The main positive contributors were the index events in the Standard & Poor's indices and in the FTSE All-Share Index. Events in the Topix and the MSCI World Index also benefited results. In contrast, events in the STOXX and Russell indices detracted from results.

•  Overall, our strategic allocation among the various sleeves was rewarded. During the reporting period, the allocations among all of the sleeves, except global quantitative, were similar. With a smaller allocation to the underperforming global quantitative sleeve, the strategic allocation among the sleeves, in aggregate, was beneficial for performance. At the end of the reporting period, the sleeve weightings were: US fundamental—28%; European fundamental—27%; event-driven—26%; and global quantitative—19%.

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

UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund

What didn't work

•  The European fundamental sleeve was the largest detractor from performance during the reporting period. The ongoing European sovereign debt crisis and increased expectations for recession in Europe negatively impacted the sleeve during the early part of the reporting period. While the sleeve performed well in late 2011, this performance was offset in early 2012, when several of the sleeve's short positions detracted from results when the European equity market rallied.

•  The global quantitative sleeve detracted from performance during the reporting period. The global quantitative 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 overweights in the consumer discretionary and telecommunication services sectors detracted from performance. From a country perspective, an underweight in the UK and an overweight in Spain were negatives for results. In contrast, overweights to the information technology and materials sectors, and an underweight to the financials sector, added the most value. From a country perspective, the sleeve's underweight to the US and its overweight to Germany were the most positive for performance.

Special Fund Update

The Board of Trustees of The UBS Funds approved a name change and investment policy modifications to UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund, which will go into effect on or about September 4, 2012. Specifically:

•  The Fund's name will change from UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund to UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund.

•  The Fund's investment objective will change to reflect that the Fund seeks to preserve and grow capital with low correlation to the equity markets.

•  The Fund's investment strategy will change to reflect its shift from a market neutral strategy to a multi-strategy that allows the Fund to vary net exposure to the equity markets.

UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2012, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund (the "Fund") declined 3.02% (Class A shares declined 8.35% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares declined 2.80%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), returned 4.37% 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 44; 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 past 12 months have seen rapid shifts between lower risk environments and higher volatility periods. Macroeconomic concerns hindered the markets, making it a challenging time to be an active manager. Headwinds included fears of slower growth in China, the ongoing crisis in the Eurozone, a spike in correlations between stocks and the uncertainty surrounding the US fiscal cliff and the presidential election. Faced with such uncertainty, many investors ignored company fundamentals in favor of short-term news. Thus, it was difficult to add value through forward-looking analysis.

The Fund's underperformance was due primarily to stock selection decisions.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Stock selection in the biotechnology industry group made the largest positive contribution to Fund performance. This industry group includes some risks, as well as the potential for significant upside. A wealth of new developments and technologies have made this the golden age of biotech. Several of the Fund's stocks in this group outperformed during the past year.

  – Pharmasset was the major contributor to Fund performance during the 12 months. The company'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 of 2011. We sold a large part of our position, but not all of it at the end of 2011 due to outperformance. In January, we tendered our remaining shares of Pharmasset and received cash due to the Gilead merger. Gilead's purchase shows that the company is intent on becoming the leader in hepatitis medicines.

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

•  Several of the Fund's information technology stocks were strong contributors to relative performance.

  – The Fund's holding in Apple continues to be a major contributor to performance. Despite the passing of Steve Jobs, the company continues to roll out advancements in their current product line: the new iPad and new Apple TV went on sale in March, while the iPhone 5 is expected to launch in the second half of 2012—and it is rumored to have a larger screen than current iPhones.

  – Skyworks is a wireless semiconductor company that has benefitted from the rapid growth of smart phones. The company specializes in designing chips used for mobile phones and other wireless devices. The company reported strong fourth quarter earnings and provided solid guidance for 2012. Samsung, Apple and other wireless device providers continue to perform well, and their performance continues to benefit their suppliers, including Skyworks Solutions. We believe the company is well-positioned for the launch of the iPhone 5. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Visa and Amazon.com were successful holdings during the period.

  – Shares of Visa rose after the completion of a court case contesting the company's processing fees. With this headwind resolved, investors, who view the company as a safe-haven investment during economic turmoil, focused on the company's strong steady income stream. This led to share price appreciation and we exited the position as the price approached fair value.

  – Amazon.com was a strong performer during the 12 months. After the company reported revenue and earnings that topped expectations, its share price rose 16% in one day. Amazon.com is benefitting from strong consumer demand for the Kindle Fire, as well as a large increase in sales for outside vendors through its web site. We believe the company is rapidly expanding and investing in its business for the long term, rather than seeking immediate profit. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Several short positions contributed to the Fund's returns.

  – The Fund shorted shares of Halliburton for part of the reporting period. This position was successful, as the company's stock declined. While we closed out the position, the stock continued to fall. In June, after it reached a point at which we believed it was oversold, we initiated a long position in the stock. This positively contributed to returns. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Shares of JC Penney declined and the Fund's short position made a positive contribution to relative returns. The company's new CEO established a policy of "everyday low prices," and eliminated one-day sales and other promotions. Shoppers did not respond well to the new policy, and the company's shares suffered as a result.

What didn't work

•  Stock selection in the energy sector was negative for performance.

  – Our largest detractor, Ultra Petroleum has struggled with falling natural gas prices. We view the company as an undervalued asset whose significant natural gas reserves will command higher prices over the longer term. Ultra has managed to earn above-cost of capital returns, despite the weak price environment. We expect the stock to recover as industry gas volumes begin to come down later in 2012 as a consequence of already-reduced rig counts in key producing regions. Additionally, Ultra should benefit from its ability to convert to liquid natural gas (LNG) for export to Europe.

  – Shares of Hess Corp. declined along with much of the energy sector as crude oil prices fell during the 12 months. It has certainly been "risk-off" within energy, and the E&P (energy and power) stocks have underperformed. Hess has been hit by a confluence of bad luck so far this year—bad weather in the Bakken, a fire at BP-operated Valhall field in the North Sea, and the implosion of Libya—which means they missed production guidance for 2011. We believe most of the volumes will come back in 2012, and that the Bakken economics are better than the market assumes. Also, a recent discovery in Ghana (near the Tullow/Anadarko block) could potentially add significant value to Hess.

•  Several stock positions detracted from relative performance during the 12 months.

  – Celanese Corp. was a negative performer during the period. The company manufactures and sells value-added chemicals, thermoplastic polymers and other chemical-based products. Celanese's proprietary synthetic ethanol is under pressure from corn-based ethanol, which receives government subsidies. However, we believe that Celanese's ethanol technology is more insulated from macroeconomic headwinds, and we have doubts about the long-term sustainability of the subsidies. Therefore, we continue to hold the stock.

UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund

  – NII Holdings Inc. was also a large stock detractor after the Latin America wireless company reported disappointing results and guidance. The market has been concerned over the company's 3G network build-out and the deterioration of Latin America currencies. We believe both these fears are overdone. The competition in Brazil has sharpened, but the market is now pricing in excessively pessimistic scenarios. We believe the valuation for NII Holdings is very attractive, and we continue to hold the stock. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Some of the financial stocks held in the Fund made a negative contribution during the 12-month period. Morgan Stanley and Citigroup, among others, faced headwinds regarding concerns about potential future banking regulations. Investors worried the banks would not be able to earn their cost of capital. At the end of the period, the Barclays settlement put the spotlight back onto global financial regulation. Fears about the crisis in Europe also constrained financial stocks. We believe both banks have strong balance sheets and multiple attractive business lines. Morgan Stanley currently has a better tangible book value than it has had in recent years, while Citigroup benefits from its powerful global and emerging market transaction processing business.

Portfolio highlights

•  Skyworks is a wireless semiconductor company that has benefitted from the rapid growth of smart phones. The company specializes in designing chips used for mobile phones and other wireless devices. Samsung, Apple and other wireless device providers continue to perform well and their performance continues to benefit their suppliers, including Skyworks. We believe Skyworks' technology will become an increasingly larger portion of the content in wireless devices, and should be boosted by further transitions to 3G and 4G networks.

•  Amazon.com serves consumers through its retail websites and focuses on selection, price, and convenience. We believe the company will sustain its high revenue growth rate due to increased numbers of Amazon Prime customers, who demonstrate very high repeat purchase patterns, and through the expansion of Amazon Prime benefits (most recently free video streaming). We believe the company will increase the number of product lines served and increase delivery speed through the expansion of its fulfillment network. Amazon is well-positioned to defend its physical media business (books, music and movies) and will continue to innovate with its dedicated book reader, the Kindle. As Amazon gains scale across its businesses, operating margins should gradually increase.

•  Halliburton is a provider of services and products to the energy industry related to the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas. The company serves national and independent oil and natural gas companies worldwide, and operates in two segments: Completion and Production and Drilling and Evaluation. Following the settlement of class action asbestos claims against the company, Halliburton management has successfully focused on improving energy service operations. The company has seen a considerable improvement in energy service margins while gaining market share in recent years. We expect Halliburton to manage the downturn better than its peers.

•  NII Holdings provides wireless communication services under the Nextel brand name to businesses and individuals in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Peru and Chile. Although the market has punished NII recently, we believe the company's 3G network and unique position at the high end of the market should allow it to become a leader in the post-paid smartphone segment in Latin America. Cheap Android handsets will become increasingly available in the second half of 2012, and wireless data will represent the only Internet access available to many subscribers in the countries where NII operates.

UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2012, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund (the "Fund") declined 5.33% (Class A shares declined 10.51% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares declined 5.14%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), returned 4.37% over the same time period. For comparison purposes, the Russell 1000 Value Index returned 3.01%. (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 56; 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 past 12 months have seen rapid shifts between lower risk environments and higher volatility periods. Macro-economic concerns hindered the markets, making it a challenging time to be an active manager. Headwinds included fears of slower growth in China, the ongoing crisis in the Eurozone, a spike in correlations between stocks and the uncertainty surrounding the US fiscal cliff and the presidential election. Faced with such uncertainty, many investors ignored company fundamentals in favor of short-term news. Thus, it was difficult to add value through forward-looking analysis.

The Fund's underperformance was primarily due to stock selection decisions.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Several of the Fund's information technology stocks contributed strongly to Fund performance.

  – The Fund's holding in Apple continues to be a major contributor to performance. Despite the passing of Steve Jobs, the company continues to roll out advancements in their current product line: the new iPad and new Apple TV went on sale in March, while the iPhone 5 is expected to launch in the second half of 2012—and it is rumored to have a larger screen than current iPhones.

  – The Fund's position in Skyworks was also a large contributor to performance. Skyworks is a wireless semiconductor company that has benefitted from the rapid growth of smart phones. The company specializes in designing chips used for mobile phones and other wireless devices. The company reported strong fourth quarter earnings and provided solid guidance for 2012. Samsung, Apple and other wireless device providers continue to perform well, and their performance continues to benefit their suppliers, including Skyworks Solutions. We believe the company is well-positioned for the launch of the iPhone 5. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Stock selection in the biotechnology industry group made the largest positive contribution to Fund performance. This industry group includes some risks, as well as the potential for significant upside. A wealth of new developments and technologies has made this a golden age for biotech. Several of the Fund's stocks in this group outperformed during the past year.

•  Comcast, Amazon.com and American Capital Agency were top contributors to active performance.

  – Shares of Comcast were up based on the company's solid cable segment growth, combined with the many improvements at NBCUniversal. Comcast delivers a well-diversified and stable cash flow for investors. We believe the management team is executing well and the franchise is strong. Both Comcast's on-demand function and Xfinity, the company's go-anywhere app, are gaining traction.

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

UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

  – Amazon.com was a strong performer during the 12 months. After the company reported revenue and earnings that topped expectations, its share price rose 16% in one day. Amazon.com is benefitting from strong consumer demand for the Kindle Fire, as well as a large increase in sales for outside vendors through its website. We believe the company is rapidly expanding and investing in its business for the long term, rather than seeking immediate profit. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – The Fund's position in American Capital Agency was successful during the period. High-yielding mortgage REITs performed admirably in 2012, taking advantage of low interest rates to boost earnings and increase dividends. We believe American Capital is one of the best-managed agency mortgage REITS. With prepayment speeds well below industry averages, modest leverage and attractive interest rate spreads, we believe American Capital will be able to invest at returns, well above its cost of capital, for the foreseeable future. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

What didn't work

•  Stock selection in the energy sector was negative for performance.

  – Our largest detractor was Ultra Petroleum. While Ultra has managed to earn above-cost of capital returns despite the weak price environment, we remain concerned over the short-term direction of natural gas prices. We exited from this position during the review period, but will remain on the sidelines until we see a more attractive entry point.

  – Peabody Energy, a coal producer, was also hurt by low natural gas prices. Peabody produces Powder River Basin coal, which is currently more expensive than natural gas.

  – Shares of Hess Corp. declined along with much of the energy sector as crude oil prices fell during the 12 months. It has certainly been "risk-off" within energy, and the E&P (energy and power) stocks have underperformed. Hess has been hit by a confluence of bad luck so far this year—bad weather in the Bakken, a fire at BP-operated Valhall field in the North Sea and the implosion of Libya—which means that they missed production guidance for 2011. We believe most of the volumes will come back in 2012, and that the Bakken economics are better than the market assumes. Also, a recent discovery in Ghana (near the Tullow/Anadarko block) could potentially add significant value to Hess.

•  Hertz Global Holdings was one of the main detractors from Fund performance during the period. Rumors continued that Hertz Holdings is considering a purchase of Dollar Thrifty, and that the regulatory review is still underway. Dollar Thrifty has traded higher on reports that the company cancelled some investor meetings. This has fueled renewed speculation that Hertz may buy Dollar Thrifty. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Several stock positions detracted from relative performance during the 12 months. Notably, Celanese Corp. was a negative performer during the period. The company manufactures and sells value-added chemicals, thermoplastic polymers and other chemical-based products. Celanese's proprietary synthetic ethanol is under pressure from corn-based ethanol, which receives government subsidies. However, we believe Celanese's ethanol technology is more insulated from macroeconomic headwinds, and we have doubts about the long-term sustainability of the subsidies. Therefore, we continue to hold the stock.

Portfolio highlights

•  Skyworks is a wireless semiconductor company that has benefitted from the rapid growth of smart phones. The company specializes in designing chips used for mobile phones and other wireless devices. Samsung, Apple and other wireless device providers continue to perform well and their performance continues to benefit their


54



UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

suppliers, including Skyworks. We believe Skyworks' technology will become an increasingly larger portion of the content in wireless devices, and should be boosted by further transitions to 3G and 4G networks.

•  Amazon.com serves consumers through its retail websites and focuses on selection, price and convenience. We believe the company will sustain its high revenue growth rate due to increased numbers of Amazon Prime customers, who demonstrate very high repeat purchase patterns, and through the expansion of Amazon Prime benefits (most recently free video streaming). We believe the company will increase the number of product lines served and increase delivery speed through the expansion of its fulfillment network. Amazon is well-positioned to defend its physical media business (books, music and movies) and will continue to innovate with its dedicated book reader, the Kindle. As Amazon gains scale across its businesses, operating margins should gradually increase.

•  American Capital Agency is a real estate investment trust that invests in residential mortgage pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations on a leveraged basis. These investments consist of securities whose principal and interest payments are guaranteed by US government-sponsored entities such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae. We believe the company can continue to deploy capital at attractive levels and provide a strong dividend yield, which is currently about 17%. Additionally, with the stock trading at only a modest premium to book value, we believe there is limited downside.

•  Hertz Global Holdings is a worldwide car rental brand operating from approximately 8,500 locations in 146 countries. We think the market underappreciates several key factors in the valuation of Hertz. First, the auto rental industry has undergone significant change in the past decade, which should allow it to operate more efficiently and rationally. Additionally, recent industry consolidation has altered the underlying supply and pricing environments favorably. Finally, Hertz has a solid management team that was put into place by private equity. We expect these factors to improve margins, create top line opportunities through pricing and allow for returns to meet or exceed the weighted average cost of capital. As these changes become apparent to investors, Hertz's share price should more accurately reflect its value.

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 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 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 C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 distribution and service 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.

3  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 distribution and service fees.

4  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 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.

5  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.

6  Effective December 30, 2011, the Fund's benchmark changed from the Russell 1000 Value Index to the Russell 1000 Index, in light of the investment strategies employed in pursuit of the Fund's investment objective.

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.

UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2012, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund (the "Fund") declined 2.47% (Class A shares declined 7.85% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares declined 2.23%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), returned 4.37% 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 64; 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 past 12 months have seen rapid shifts between lower risk environments and higher volatility periods. Macro-economic concerns hindered the markets, making it a challenging time to be an active manager. Headwinds included fears of slower growth in China, the ongoing crisis in the Eurozone, a spike in correlations between stocks, and the uncertainty surrounding the US fiscal cliff and the presidential election. Faced with such uncertainty, many investors ignored company fundamentals in favor of short-term news. Thus, it was difficult to add value through forward-looking analysis.

The Fund's underperformance was due primarily to stock selection decisions.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Stock selection in the biotechnology industry group made the largest positive contribution to Fund performance. This industry group includes some risks, as well as the potential for significant upside. A wealth of new developments and technologies has made this a golden age for biotech. Several of the Fund's stocks in this group outperformed during the past year.

  – Pharmasset was by far the major contributor to Fund performance during the 12 months. The company'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 of 2011. We sold Pharmasset after the bid by Gilead was announced at a substantial premium to current prices; We subsequently purchased Gilead as we believe they will benefit from Pharmasset's established pipeline. Gilead's purchase shows that the company is intent on becoming the leader in hepatitis medicines.

  – At the end of the reporting period, Amylin Pharmaceuticals announced its sale to Bristol-Myers Squibb for $31.00 per share in cash, or roughly $5.3 billion. Rumors had persisted that the company, which develops diabetes drugs, was a prime takeover target, and the stock traded higher on the news. We exited our position in Amylin following the takeover bid from Bristol-Meyers, near our estimate of fair value. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

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

•  Several of the Fund's information technology stocks were positive for relative performance.

  – The Fund's holding in Apple continues to be a major contributor to performance. Despite the passing of Steve Jobs, the company continues to roll out advancements in their current product line: the new iPad and new

UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

Apple TV went on sale in March, while the iPhone 5 is expected to launch in the second half of 2012—and it is rumored to have a larger screen than current iPhones.

  – Skyworks Solutions Inc. has also been a large stock contributor. Skyworks is a wireless semiconductor company that has benefitted from the rapid growth of smart phones. The company specializes in designing chips used for mobile phones and other wireless devices. The company reported strong fourth quarter earnings and provided solid guidance for 2012. Samsung, Apple and other wireless device providers continue to perform well, and their performance continues to benefit their suppliers, including Skyworks Solutions.

•  Stock selection in the banking industry group was successful during the 12 months. Wells Fargo and U.S. Bancorp benefited from their strong balance sheets, as well as from lower exposure to Europe than their peers. Stabilizing prices in the housing market also helped these bank stocks outperform. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Comcast was a top contributor to active performance. Shares of Comcast were up based on the company's solid cable segment growth, combined with the many improvements at NBCUniversal. Comcast delivers a well-diversified and stable cash flow for investors. We believe the management team is executing well and the franchise is strong. Both Comcast's on-demand function and Xfinity, the company's go-anywhere app, are gaining traction.

What didn't work

•  The financial stocks held in the Fund made a negative contribution during the 12-month period. Morgan Stanley and Citigroup, among others, faced headwinds from concerns about potential future banking regulations. Investors worried that the banks would not be able to earn their cost of capital. At the end of the period, the Barclays settlement turned the spotlight back on global financial regulation. Fears about the crisis in Europe also constrained financial stocks. We believe that both banks have strong balance sheets and multiple attractive business lines. Morgan Stanley has a better tangible book value than in recent years, and Citigroup benefits from its powerful global and emerging markets transaction processing business. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Stock selection in the energy sector was negative for performance.

  – Our largest detractor, Ultra Petroleum has struggled with falling natural gas prices. We view the company as an undervalued asset whose significant natural gas reserves will command higher prices over the longer term. Ultra has managed to earn above-cost of capital returns, despite the weak price environment. We expect the stock to recover as industry gas volumes begin to come down later in 2012 as a consequence of already-reduced rig counts in key producing regions. Additionally, Ultra should benefit from its ability to convert to liquid natural gas (LNG) for export to Europe.

  – Peabody Energy, a coal producer, was also hurt by low natural gas prices. Peabody produces Powder River Basin coal, which is currently more expensive than natural gas.

  – Shares of Hess Corp. declined along with much of the energy sector as crude oil prices fell during the 12 months. It has certainly been "risk-off" within energy, and the E&P (energy and power) stocks have underperformed. Hess has been hit by a confluence of bad luck so far this year—bad weather in the Bakken, a fire at BP-operated Valhall field in the North Sea and the implosion of Libya—which means they missed production guidance for 2011. We believe most of the volumes will come back in 2012, and that the Bakken economics are better than the market assumes. Also, a recent discovery in Ghana (near the Tullow/Anadarko block) could potentially add significant value to Hess.

UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

•  Several stock positions detracted from relative performance during the 12 months. Notably, Celanese Corp. was a negative performer during the period. The company manufactures and sells value-added chemicals, thermoplastic polymers and other chemical-based products. Celanese's proprietary synthetic ethanol is under pressure from corn-based ethanol, which receives government subsidies. However, we believe Celanese's ethanol technology is more insulated from macroeconomic headwinds, and we have doubts about the long-term sustainability of the subsidies. Therefore, we continue to hold the stock.

•  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. It seems investors appear willing to pay almost any price for the perception of safety. The Fund's reduced exposure to these names negatively impacted relative returns.

Portfolio highlights

•  Amylin Pharmaceuticals has developed a series of drugs for the treatment of diabetes. This made the company very attractive to larger companies within the industry. Bristol-Myers Squibb's original bid of $22 a share in cash was rejected by Amylin as too low. Takeover rumors persisted, with other potential suitors in the mix, until Bristol-Myers came back with a higher offer that Amylin accepted.

•  Skyworks is a wireless semiconductor company that has benefitted from the rapid growth of smart phones. The company specializes in designing chips used for mobile phones and other wireless devices. Samsung, Apple and other wireless device providers continue to perform well and their performance continues to benefit their suppliers, including Skyworks. We believe Skyworks' technology will become an increasingly larger portion of the content in wireless devices, and should be boosted by further transitions to 3G and 4G networks.

•  Wells Fargo operates in three segments: Community Banking, Wholesale Banking, and Wealth Brokerage and Retirement. We believe the company will experience above-peer profitability and earnings growth over the next several years as a result of solid revenue growth, improving expense leverage and declining credit costs. We expect revenue growth to be driven by a combination of leveraging the underutilized Wachovia franchise, solid earning asset growth and an improving net interest margin. We also believe the company will aggressively manage capital via a combination of increased dividends and share repurchases.

•  Citigroup continues to execute its plan to rationalize its balance sheet, wind down Citi Holdings, engineer expense reductions, improve liquidity and capital metrics, and take market share in its core businesses (Regional Consumer Banking, Securities & Banking and Global Transaction Services). Management is focused on eliminating 4% to 5% of total expenses ($2.5 to $3.0 billion) annually, which will benefit operating leverage. We believe revenue growth will be driven by Citigroup's strong positions in emerging markets consumer banking, global transaction services and global investment banking.

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 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 C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 distribution and service fees.

3  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 distribution and service fees.

4  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 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.

UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2012, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund") returned 1.19% (Class A shares declined 4.37% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 1.44%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the "Index"), declined 2.71% 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 72; 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 outperformed the Index due to strong stock selection.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Stock selection in health care was the main driver of relative returns.

  – Pharmasset, a biotechnology company, was a major contributor to Fund performance during the 12 months. The company'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 of 2011. Gilead's purchase, in our view, demonstrates the company is intent on becoming the leader in hepatitis medicines. We sold Pharmasset as a source of funds and allocated the proceeds elsewhere.

  – Questcor Pharmaceuticals, a specialty pharmaceutical company, rose sharply after management discussed the company's strategy for expanding into rheumatology. The company provides prescription drugs for central nervous system disorders, most notably Acthar, which is used to treat multiple sclerosis.

  – Zoll Medical is a manufacturer of defibrillators and other resuscitation devices. Its stock price outperformed after the company announced an agreement to be acquired by Asahi Kasei for $2.21 billion in cash, or $93 per share. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.") We sold Zoll Medical as a source of funds and allocated the proceeds elsewhere.

•  Stock selection decisions within the information technology sector were positive for performance. For example, Mellanox Technologies, a designer and developer of semiconductor-based high performance interconnect products, saw its shares rise, after reporting a number of new product and design wins. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.") OSI Systems, which manufactures security inspection systems and medical monitoring systems, recently announced a major contract with the port of Puerto Rico. OSI will provide the scanning equipment, as well as turnkey cargo screening services at the port. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Several industrial stocks contributed to the Fund's outperformance. One example is Chart Industries, a manufacturer of cryogenic equipment used to produce, distribute, and store liquefied natural gas (LNG). We believe increasing global demand for LNG should continue to drive results for the company. Also, SFN Group, which offers workforce solutions—including staffing and temporary employees—saw its shares rise after the company announced it would be acquired by Randstad. Given the acquisition, we tendered the shares of SFN for cash in September 2011.

What didn't work

•  A slight overweight to the energy sector, as well as stock selection in the sector, detracted from the Fund's performance. Energy stocks were under pressure during the review period due to declining crude oil and natural gas prices.

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


70



UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

  – Key Energy Services, a provider of onshore production services to the oil and natural gas industries, saw its shares fall after the company lowered its revenue and earnings guidance in the second quarter of 2012. The revised forecast from company management assumes lower activity growth than previously estimated in the liquid shale markets, and anticipates further activity and pricing declines in the natural gas markets.

  – Shares of Pioneer Drilling, a leading provider of onshore, rig-based drilling and well services, declined during the period on fears that falling commodity oil prices will dampen demand for the company's services.

•  Several of the Fund's consumer discretionary holdings underperformed during the period. Shutterfly, the online photo sharing website, traded lower based on concerns about the company's earnings in the fourth quarter of 2011, while shares of Tenneco, an auto parts manufacturer, declined after the company reported weak earnings for the first quarter of 2012. Rising commodity prices also made investors nervous about Tenneco's near-term prospects. IMAX's stock price suffered from weaker-than-expected box office results during the 12 months. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Stock selection in the consumer staples sector detracted from relative returns. Diamond Foods declined sharply after the company's purchase of Pringles fell through. Pricing problems led Diamond to restate earnings, devastating the stock price. We sold out of the position during the fourth quarter of 2011.

Portfolio highlights

•  Zoll Medical is a medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets resuscitation devices. Growth products manufactured by Zoll include the LifeVest wearable defibrillator, temperature management cooling devices and the AutoPulse automatic CPR device. In addition, the company manufactures a full line of defibrillators.

•  Mellanox Technologies is a designer and developer of semiconductor-based, high performance interconnect products. The company is benefitting from the introduction of Intel's Romley chip, which is causing users to upgrade their data center with an emphasis on interconnects that match performance of the new systems.

•  The primary division of OSI Systems sells inspection systems and scanners for use in the scanning of baggage, cargo and vehicles for weapons, explosives, drugs and other contraband. The company is also in the process of launching a new scanner for airport baggage screening that can operate at three times the speed of current scanners with similar accuracy rates. OSI's health care division should also see improving results as it starts to benefit from a new product cycle. Most of the company's new monitors now offer increased functionality as well as touch screen interfaces.

•  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.

    1 year   5 years   10 years  
Before deducting maximum sales charge

Russell 2000 Growth Index4     (2.71 )%     1.99 %     7.39 %  

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 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 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 C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 distribution and service 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.

3  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 distribution and service fees.

4  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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

The performance of Class C shares will vary based upon the different inception dates, class specific expenses and sales charges. The performance provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price and returns will vary with market conditions; investors may realize a gain or loss upon redemption.

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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

The UBS Funds

June 30, 2012 (unaudited)

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; distribution and/or service (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, January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012.

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 January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012.

1. Organization and significant accounting policies

The UBS Funds (the "Trust") is registered with the US 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 15 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. The Funds currently offer 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 had been 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 Advisors 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 have never offered Class B shares. Effective on March 1, 2012, all outstanding Class B shares converted to Class A shares of the same Fund. 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 distribution and service charges and certain transfer agency and related services expenses. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution and/or service plan, if any. Class Y shares have no distribution or service 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 ("US 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 US GAAP for SEC registrants. The Funds' financial statements are prepared in accordance with US 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


110



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 is believed 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 "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 (or a committee designated by it) 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 are 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.


111



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

The Board has delegated to the UBS Global Asset Management Global Valuation Committee ("GVC") the responsibility for making fair value determinations with respect to the Funds' portfolio holdings. The GVC is comprised of representatives of management, including members of the investment team.

The GVC provides reports to the Board at each quarterly meeting regarding any securities or instruments that have been fair valued, valued pursuant to standing instructions approved by the GVC, or where non-vendor pricing sources had been used to make fair value determinations when sufficient information exists during the prior quarter. Fair valuation determinations are subject to review at least monthly by the GVC during scheduled meetings. Pricing decisions, processes, and controls over fair value determinations are subject to internal and external reviews, including annual internal compliance reviews, periodic internal audit reviews and annual review of securities valuations by the Funds' independent auditors.

The types of securities or instruments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are not limited to: foreign securities and instruments under some circumstances, as discussed below, securities of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; securities or instruments whose trading has been halted or suspended; fixed income securities that are in default and for which there is no current market value quotation; and securities or instruments that are restricted as to transfer or resale. The need to fair value a Fund's portfolio securities and other instruments may also result from low trading volume in foreign markets or thinly traded domestic securities or instruments, and when a security is subject to a trading limit or collar on the exchange or market on which it is primarily traded reaches the "limit up" or "limit down" price and no trading has taken place at that price. 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. Valuing securities and other instruments at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than valuing securities and other instruments that have readily available market quotations. Fair value determinations can also involve reliance on quantitative models employed by a fair value pricing service.

US 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 May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US 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 US GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 requires 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 requires 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 disclosures have been implemented for interim and annual periods beginning


112



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

after December 15, 2011. At June 30, 2012, UBS Global Equity Fund and UBS International Equity Fund transferred a security from Level 1 to Level 2, with the value of $702,433 and $158,091 respectively, due to the valuation changing from an unadjusted quoted price on a US exchange to a valuation based primarily on the valuation of the shares of the company as traded on the Russian Exchange. The remaining Funds had no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2.

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 US 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. Forward foreign currency contracts entered into by a Fund 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 June 30, 2012 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of June 30, 2012, the Fund would be required to post additional collateral or may be required to terminate the contracts 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 year ended June 30, 2012, 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 year was greater than at year end.

Disclosure of derivatives by underlying risk for the Fund as of and for the period ended June 30, 2012 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 expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included in each Fund's Portfolio footnotes.

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


114



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 performance. 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.


115



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 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"). There were no short sales transaction for UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund during the year ended June 30, 2012.

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 US 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.


116



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 year ended June 30, 2012, 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   $ 1,550    
UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund     2,263    
UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund     13,073    
UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund     25,363    

 

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.

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:

5. Securities lending

Each Fund may lend securities up to 331/3% of its total assets to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors.

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.

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 years ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 were as follows:

Due to inherent differences in the recognition of income, expenses and realized gains/losses under US GAAP and federal income tax purposes, permanent differences between book and tax basis reporting for the current fiscal year have been identified and appropriately reclassified. Reclassifications for the year ended June 30, 2012 were as follows:

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 preenactment 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.

Post-enactment losses incurred that will be carried forward indefinitely are as follows:

Fund   Short-term
losses
 
UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund   $ 249,770    

 

At June 30, 2012, the following Funds had pre-enactment 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   $     $ 27,275,821

During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

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 year ended June 30, 2012, were as follows:

10. Proposed reorganization

On June 8, 2012, the Board approved the submission of an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization") to shareholders of UBS Global Equity Fund, proposing to merge UBS Global Equity Fund into the Nationwide Global Equity Fund series of Nationwide Mutual Funds. The merger is subject to the approval of the shareholders UBS Global Equity Fund and the Reorganization is intended to be a tax-free transaction. On the date of the merger, UBS Global Equity Fund will exchange all of its assets at net asset value for shares of the Nationwide Global Equity Fund. Shareholders of UBS Global Equity Fund will receive shares of the corresponding share classes of the Nationwide Fund with a value equal to the net asset value of their ownership interests in UBS Global Equity Fund at the merger date. Effective as of the close of business on July 16, 2012, the Board approved the closure of each class of the UBS Global Equity Fund to new investments, including new investors, additional purchases from existing investors and purchases for exchange from other funds. Therefore, UBS Global Equity Fund will no longer offer shares for purchase, except for Class A and Class Y shares that are purchased by existing investors through systematic purchase plans, discretionary advisory programs, various wrap programs and 401(k)/retirement plans, each of which may continue to purchase shares until it is practicable for such contributions to be terminated; and shareholders will still continue to be able to redeem their shares.

More information about the proposed Reorganization will be provided to shareholders in proxy materials. If approved by shareholders of the UBS Global Equity Fund, the Reorganization is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2012.

11. Subsequent events note

The Board of Trustees of The UBS Funds approved a name change and investment policy modifications to UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund, which will go into effect on or about September 4, 2012. Specifically the Fund's name will change from UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund to UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund. The Fund's investment objective will change to reflect that the Fund seeks to preserve and grow capital with low correlation to the equity markets. The Fund's investment strategy will change to reflect its shift from a market neutral strategy to a multi-strategy that allows the Fund to vary net exposure to the equity markets.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of The UBS Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of 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, UBS U.S. Large Cap Value Equity Fund), UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund and UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund (seven of the series comprising The UBS Funds) (collectively the "Funds") as of June 30, 2012, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UBS 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, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund, and UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund at June 30, 2012, the results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(the "Advisor") and its affiliates (together, the "Independent Trustees"), considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements (the "Advisory Agreements") between the Trust and the Advisor for the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS Global Frontier Fund, UBS Global Equity Fund, UBS International Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS Global Bond Fund, UBS High Yield Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and UBS Core Plus Bond Fund (each a "Fund," and together, the "Funds"). Prior to the Meeting, the Independent Trustees' counsel had sent to the Advisor a request detailing the information that the Independent Trustees wished to receive in connection with their consideration of the continuation of the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees met with their independent counsel, as well as an independent consultant engaged by the Board to assist in the annual Advisory Agreement review process, on June 4, 2012, June 7, 2012 and June 8, 2012, to discuss the materials provided to them in response to the information request, including materials prepared by the Advisor, as well as reports prepared by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper Reports"), an independent statistical compilation company, providing comparative expense information on an actual and contractual basis and comparative performance information for the Funds. The Board also made reference to information and material that had been provided to the Independent Trustees throughout the year at quarterly Board meetings.

At the Meeting, the Board considered a number of factors in connection with its deliberations concerning the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for each Fund, including: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund; (ii) the performance of the Fund and the Advisor; (iii) the Fund's expenses, costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund; and (iv) whether economies of scale are realized by the Advisor with respect to the Fund, as it grows larger, and the extent to which the economies of scale are reflected in the level of the management fees charged.

Nature, extent, and quality of services

In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to a Fund, the Board reviewed the material presented by the Advisor describing the various services provided to each Fund. The Board noted that in addition to investment management services, the Advisor provides each Fund with operational, legal, and compliance support. The Board also considered the scope and depth of the Advisor's organization and the experience and expertise of the professionals currently providing investment management and other services to the Funds. The Board considered that the Advisor was a well-established investment management organization employing investment personnel with significant experience in the investment management industry. The Board also considered the Advisor's in-house research capabilities, as well as other research services available to it, including research services available to the Advisor as a result of securities transactions effected for the Funds and the Advisor's other investment management clients, and noted that the Advisor had extensive global research capabilities. The Board also evaluated the Advisor's portfolio management process for each Fund, including the use of risk management techniques and the proprietary technologies utilized to structure the Fund's portfolio. The Board noted that various presentations had been made by investment personnel at Board meetings throughout the year concerning the Funds' investment performance and investment strategies, including the derivative strategies utilized by certain Funds.

The Board also noted and discussed the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provide to the Funds under other agreements with the Trust, including administration services provided by the Advisor, underwriting services provided by UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc. ("UBS Global AM (US)"), and sub-transfer agency services provided by UBS Financial Services Inc. ("UBS Financial Services"). In connection with the non-investment management services, the Board also considered the quarterly reports that the Advisor provides to the Board throughout the year pertaining to brokerage commissions, soft dollars, portfolio valuations, and Rule 12b-1 fees, among others. In addition, the Board considered the presentations provided with respect to distribution strategies for the Funds. The

Board also discussed the annual written compliance report from the Chief Compliance Officer and noted enhancements undertaken and planned with respect to the compliance program. After analyzing the services provided by the Advisor to each Fund, both quantitatively and qualitatively, including the impact of these services on investment performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to each Fund were consistent with the operational requirements of each Fund, and met the needs of the Fund's shareholders.

Performance

In evaluating the performance of each Fund, the Board analyzed the Lipper Reports, which compared the performance of each Fund with other funds in its respective peer universe over various time periods. The Board also reviewed the memoranda provided by the Advisor providing an analysis of the markets and the Funds' performance during the past year. In reviewing the Lipper Reports, the Board noted that the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund and UBS Core Plus Bond Fund each had appeared in one of the top three performance quintiles for the one-year performance period. At the Board's request, the Advisor further addressed the performance data for the UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS Global Frontier Fund, UBS International Equity Fund, UBS Global Equity Fund, UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS High Yield Fund, UBS Global Bond Fund and UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, each of which had appeared in one of the lower performance quintiles for the one-year period.

In explaining the performance of the UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Global Frontier Fund, the Advisor discussed the factors that had affected the performance of each Fund. The Advisor stated that during the one-year performance period, each Fund's more conservative stance with respect to risk may have impacted the performance of the UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Global Frontier Fund relative to their peers. Each Fund's defensive position resulted in an underweight to equities in the latter part of 2011, which negatively affected performance relative to its peers. The Advisor noted that while each Fund underperformed relative to its peer universe for the one-year performance period, each of the UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Global Frontier Fund outperformed relative to its peer universe for the three-year performance period, appearing in the second performance quintile and first performance quintile, respectively. The Advisor also stated that for the calendar year-to-date ending March 31, 2012, each of the UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Global Frontier Fund exceeded its peer universe median for the period.

With respect to the performance of the UBS International Equity Fund and UBS Global Equity Fund over the past year, the Advisor stated that stock selection was the primary reason for each Fund's underperformance compared to its peer universe. The Advisor discussed each Fund's stock selection process and stated that each Fund was well positioned in the next year to take advantage of attractively priced stocks that fit each Fund's long-term investment focus. The Advisor also noted that while each of the UBS International Equity Fund and UBS Global Equity Fund underperformed relative to its respective peer universe for the one-year performance period, each Fund exceeded its respective peer universe median for the three-year performance period.

The Advisor then discussed the factors that had a negative effect on the relative performance of the UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund during the one-year performance period. The Advisor specifically outlined the proposed strategy changes that had recently been approved by the Board for the Fund. The Advisor stated that management expected that the strategy changes when implemented would provide a more desirable risk/return target for investors of the UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund.

With respect to the performance of the UBS High Yield Fund for the one-year performance period, the Advisor noted that the Fund had a positive return but also noted that the Fund underperformed relative to its benchmark and its peer universe. In explaining the factors that contributed to the UBS High Yield Fund's relative underperformance for the one-year performance period, the Advisor noted that the Fund's positioning within the financials sector and certain industrial subsectors were the major contributors to the Fund's relative underperformance for the period. The

Advisor also noted that although the Lipper peer universe reflects an appropriate group of peers, funds within the category are managed to several different indexes. While generally these indices are similar, allocations do vary and over time may result in performance differences, thus impacting peer relative results. The Advisor also noted that the UBS High Yield Fund performed more in line with its peers for the other performance periods presented.

With respect to the UBS Global Bond Fund, the Advisor noted that while the Fund underperformed relative to its benchmark and its peer universe for the one-year period, the Fund experienced a positive return during this time period. The Fund's weaker relative performance was partially attributable to certain sector allocation decisions, including the Fund's investments in investment grade financials, which performed poorly during the period. The Advisor discussed with the Board the performance outlook for the Fund in the upcoming year and stated that it believed that the Fund was positioned for better relative performance.

The Advisor next addressed the relative underperformance of the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund with respect to the Fund's peers. The Advisor stated that the Fund's weaker one-year return was partly attributable to certain hedges the Fund maintained to reduce overall credit market risk. While these hedges were implemented to minimize significant downside events, they generally underperformed as credit markets fared well over the period. The Advisor also discussed with the Board the Fund's strategy of investing in a wide range of fixed income securities, currencies and other investments to generate total returns under a variety of market conditions and economic cycles. The Advisor stated the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund fared poorly compared to its peers because most of the funds in its peer universe are primarily income-focused products which generally maintain long exposure to credit sectors and are less likely than the Fund to engage in hedges or maintain net short positions across interest rates, credit markets and currencies. The Advisor noted that while the funds in the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund's Lipper performance universe benefitted from their income focus during the one-year performance, the Advisor believes that over market cycles, the Fund's ability to maintain both long and short exposure across fixed income and currency markets as part of its unconstrained investment framework will be instrumental in providing attractive risk-adjusted returns for the Fund with minimal correlation to the broader fixed income and equity markets.

The Board concluded that the Advisor's explanations provided a sound basis for understanding the performance of each Fund that underperformed in comparison to its peer universe. The Board determined, after analyzing the performance data, that the performance of each Fund was acceptable as compared with relevant performance standards, given the investment strategies and risk profile of each Fund, the expectations of the shareholder base, the current market environment and the Advisor's efforts to address the underperformance issues of each Fund.

Fund fees and expenses

When considering the fees and expenses borne by each Fund, and the reasonableness of the management fees paid to the Advisor in light of the services provided to each Fund, the Board compared the fees charged by the Advisor to each Fund to fees charged to the funds in its peer group for comparable services, as provided in the Lipper Reports, on both an actual (taking into account expense limitation arrangements) and a contractual basis (assuming all funds in the peer expense group were similar in size to the respective Fund). In examining the Lipper Reports, and in reviewing comparative costs, it was noted that the results of such expense comparisons showed that the actual management fee rate for each Fund, except the UBS Global Allocation Fund, was comparable to, or lower than, the Lipper median in its respective Lipper expense group. The Board also noted that each Fund, except the UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, UBS International Equity Fund, UBS Core Plus Bond Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and UBS Global Bond Fund, had a contractual fee rate comparable to, or lower than, the Lipper median in its respective Lipper expense group. In addition, the Board reviewed the actual total expenses of each Fund and noted that each Fund, except the UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund and UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund, had total expenses that were comparable to, or lower than, the Lipper median in its respective Lipper expense group.

The Board first discussed the management fee of the UBS Global Allocation Fund. It was noted that the actual management fee for the UBS Global Allocation Fund was higher than the management fee of several of the funds in its Lipper expense group. The Board, however, determined that the UBS Global Allocation Fund's management fee was reasonable considering that it was not significantly higher than its Lipper expense group median and the Fund's actual total expenses were in line with the median of its Lipper expense group.

The Board next considered that the management fee of the UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund was higher than the median of its Lipper expense group on a contractual basis, but noted that the Fund's actual management fee compared favorably with the Fund's peers placing in the first quintile of the Lipper expense group. The Board also considered the UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund's total expenses, which were higher than the median of the Fund's expense group. The Advisor explained that the Fund has higher non-management expenses as compared to its peers due to the Fund's smaller asset base.

The Board next discussed the management fee of the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund. It was noted that the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund's management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group on a contractual basis, which led the Board to discuss this Fund's management fee with the Advisor. The Board noted that while the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund's contractual management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, the Fund's actual management fee and total expenses compared favorably to its peers, placing in the first quintile and second quintile, respectively, of its Lipper expense group.

The Board then considered the management fee of the UBS International Equity Fund. It was noted that the UBS International Equity Fund's management fee also was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group on a contractual basis. The Board noted that while the UBS International Equity Fund's contractual management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, the Fund's actual management fee and total expenses each placed in the first quintile in the Fund's Lipper expense group.

The Board also reviewed the management fee of the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund and noted that the contractual management fee for the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund was not significantly higher than the median of the Fund's expense group. The Board also considered that the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund's actual management fee and actual total expenses were each in the first quintile of the Fund's Lipper expense group.

The Board also noted that the contractual management fee for the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund was higher than the management fee of several of the funds in its Lipper expense group. The Board, however, noted that the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund's actual management fee and total expenses were lower than many of the Fund's peers, each ranking in the first quintile of the Fund's Lipper expense group.

With respect to the fees and expenses of the UBS Global Bond Fund, the Board noted that the Fund was above the median of its Lipper expense group with respect to contractual management fees. The Board, however, also noted that the Fund's actual management fee was lower than the median of its Lipper expense group, placing in the first quintile of its expense group. The Board also considered that the UBS Global Bond Fund had total expenses that were in line with the median of its Lipper expense group.

The Board then considered the total expenses of the UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund, noting that the total expenses of the Fund were higher than the Fund's Lipper expense group median. The Advisor explained that the UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund has higher non-management expenses as compared to its peers due to the Fund's smaller asset base. The Board also noted the Fund's management fees, on both an actual and contractual basis, were very competitive with the management fees of the funds in its Lipper expense group.

The Board also received and considered information about the fee rates charged to other funds and accounts that are managed by the Advisor. After discussing the information about the other funds and accounts with the Advisor, the Board determined that the fees charged by the Advisor to the Funds were within a reasonable range, giving effect to differences in services performed for such other funds and accounts as compared to such fee rates. The Board, after reviewing all pertinent material, concluded that the management fee payable under each Fund's Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable, both on an absolute basis and in comparison with the fees of other funds identified in its peer group.

Costs and profitability

The Board considered the costs of providing services to the Funds and the profitability of the Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates by reviewing the profitability analysis provided by the Advisor, including information about its fee revenues and expenses. The Board reviewed the profitability of each Fund to the Advisor and its affiliates, and the compensation that was received for providing services to each Fund. The profitability analysis, which provided information for the last three calendar years, included schedules relating to the revenue and expenses attributable to: (i) the investment advisory and administration services provided by the Advisor; (ii) the distribution and shareholder services provided by UBS Global AM (US) and UBS Financial Services; (iii) the transfer agency-related services provided by UBS Financial Services; and (iv) all services provided by the Advisor, UBS Global AM (US), and UBS Financial Services shown on a consolidated basis. In discussing the profitability analysis with the Board, the Advisor, as requested by the Board, provided the Board with a presentation on the methodology utilized in the profitability analysis. The Board noted that the methodology used for the profitability analysis provided to the Board for purposes of its annual review of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Advisor also explained to the Board the reasons for an increase or decrease in profitability of each Fund from last calendar year to this calendar year.

The Board also considered "fall-out" or ancillary benefits to the Advisor or its affiliates as the result of their relationship with the Funds; for example, the ability to attract other clients due to the Advisor's role as investment advisor to the Funds and the research services available to the Advisor through soft dollar brokerage commissions. The Independent Trustees also considered the ancillary benefits received by the Advisor's affiliates, UBS Securities LLC and UBS AG, in the form of commissions for executing securities transactions for the Funds. Upon closely examining the information provided concerning the Advisor's profitability, the Board concluded that the level of profits realized by the Advisor and its affiliates with respect to each Fund, if any, was reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services that were provided.

Economies of scale

The Board also discussed whether economies of scale are realized by the Advisor with respect to each Fund as it grows larger, and the extent to which this is reflected in the level of management fees charged. The Board noted that with respect to most Funds, any actual or potential economies of scale are, or will be, shared with the Fund and its shareholders through existing management fee breakpoints so that as the Fund grows in size, its effective management fee declines. The Board noted that each Fund, except UBS Global Frontier Fund, UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund and UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, had a breakpoint schedule that provided for continuing breakpoints past the current asset level for the Fund. Based on each Fund's fees and expenses and the Advisor's profitability analysis, the Board concluded that any actual or potential economies of scale would be reasonably shared with a Fund and its shareholders.

After full consideration of the factors discussed above, with no single factor identified as being of paramount importance, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, concluded that the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for each Fund was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

President's letter

August 15, 2012

Dear Shareholder,

It has been six months since my last letter to you. In that time, macroeconomic concerns—most notably those relating to Europe's sovereign debt crisis—continued to cast a pall over the marketplace. As a result, the market has had its fair share of ups and downs as investor sentiment has shifted between risk-on and risk-off. Against this backdrop, active managers, including us, continue to find it difficult to add value. For this reason, as in the prior reporting period, security selection was a primary detractor from our Funds' performance over the period.

When the markets are volatile, investors are most likely to lose sight of their long-term investment goals. The risky behavior of market timing becomes more prevalent, even though, time after time, this strategy has been proven to do more harm than good to investment portfolios.

Since I've been writing to you, I have repeatedly stressed the importance of maintaining a long-term perspective and a diversified portfolio. I'm going to take this opportunity to do so again. When markets are at their worst, practicing these two strategies may be your best defense against market volatility.

At UBS Global Asset Management we remain committed to providing you with integrated and outcome-oriented solutions that we believe can help you stay the course. For example, UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund seeks to provide investors with a flexible strategy that offers less reliance on favorable market conditions. UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund looks to generate returns via a strategy that has low correlation to the broader equity and fixed income markets. And, in April, with the launch of UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, we expanded our product line to address our shareholders' increasingly important income needs in a risk-managed manner. The underpinning to all of these investment solutions remains the experience that we have accumulated over 30 years of global investing. We're taking this experience and channeling it into solutions that we believe have the potential to well-position our clients for their investment futures.

The market is challenging investors right now, and their fortitude for staying invested for the long-term is being tested. I firmly believe, however, that by avoiding some of the mistakes that investors tend to make during times of uncertainty, and by maintaining a diversified portfolio that includes fixed income, equities and alternative-type investment solutions, investors may find their fortitude renewed.

Sincerely,

Mark E. Carver
President

The markets in review

Global economic growth moderated

While the overall US economy continued to grow, the pace of the expansion decelerated during the reporting period. Looking back, the Commerce Department reported 2.5% gross domestic product ("GDP") growth in the US for the second quarter of 2011, followed by figures of 1.3% and 4.1% over the third and fourth quarters, respectively. GDP growth in the US then slowed to 2.0% and 1.5%1 in the first and second quarters of 2012.

On several occasions, the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed"), acknowledging economic growth had been considerably slower than it expected, declared it would keep the extremely low federal funds rate of between 0.00% and 0.25% on hold until at least through mid-2013. Additionally, in an attempt to stimulate the economy and keep longer term interest rates low, the Fed 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"). At its meeting in June, the Fed extended Operation Twist until the end of 2012. The Fed also left the door open to a third round of quantitative easing, saying it was "prepared to take further action as appropriate to promote a stronger economic recovery and sustained improvement in labor market conditions in a context of price stability."

Economic growth in developed countries outside the US generally weakened and, in some cases, moved into negative territory during the reporting period. The fallout from the ongoing sovereign debt crisis negatively impacted growth in Europe, and several countries, including the UK, fell back into a recession as they experienced two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. Conversely, developing countries continued to post growth rates that surpassed developed countries. However, in many cases, the pace of growth was less robust than what it had been in prior quarters.

Global equities produced mixed results

The global equity markets experienced periods of heightened volatility during the period under review. Early in the reporting period, the US equity market fell sharply, due to concerns of a double-dip recession and the ongoing European sovereign debt crisis. The US equity market then rallied over much of the next six months, given generally solid corporate profits and signs that the US economy was gaining some momentum. However, after being largely flat in April, the US market declined in May. Triggering this reversal in investor sentiment was an escalation of the European sovereign debt crisis, as well as indications that the US economy had hit a soft patch. Stocks then rallied in June, due to some signs of progress in the European crisis and given expectations for additional policy accommodation by the Fed. The US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,2 returned 5.45% during the 12 months ended June 30, 2012.

Both international developed and emerging markets equities were extremely weak during the first three months of the reporting period. Investor sentiment for international equities was negative, given the lack of progress from European policymakers to address the sovereign debt crisis. Although stock prices moved higher over the next six months, the overhang from the situation in Europe resulted in a more muted rally than in the US. Volatility continued during the last three months of the fiscal year, as international equities posted a double-digit decline in May. In addition to fears of contagion from the European sovereign debt crisis, global growth moderated and there were concerns about whether the Chinese government could orchestrate a soft landing for its economy. A portion of May's losses were then erased as stock prices moved higher in June. All told, international developed

equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net),3 fell 13.83% during the 12 months ended June 30, 2012. Emerging markets equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net),4 declined 15.95%.

Riskier fixed income securities produced strong results

While the US taxable spread sectors (non-US Treasury fixed income securities) experienced periods of volatility during the reporting period, they ultimately produced positive returns and, in some cases, outperformed equal-duration Treasuries. Risk aversion wasn't limited to the equity markets, as the spread sectors performed poorly during the first three months of the fiscal year. However, investor risk appetite was generally robust over the next six months, largely due to positive US economic news. In addition, concerns related to the European sovereign debt crisis appeared to move to the back burner. Against this backdrop, high yield bonds and emerging markets debt generated solid results. Risk aversion then ruled the fixed income markets in late April and May. However, as was the case in the equity market, the spread sectors rallied sharply in June as investor sentiment improved. All told, during the 12 months ended June 30, 2012, the overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Index,5 returned 7.47%.

Looking more closely at lower rated fixed income securities, the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index6 returned 6.57% during the reporting period. Emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),7 rose 10.90%. Despite several setbacks, demand was generally solid as investors looked to generate yield in the low interest rate environment.

UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2012, Class A shares of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund (the "Fund") returned 6.18% (Class A shares returned 0.32% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 6.57%. For purposes of comparison, the BofA Merrill Lynch US Treasury 1-5 Year Index returned 2.22% over the same time period, the MSCI World Free Index (net) declined 4.98% and the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 1.66%. (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 positive absolute return during the reporting period and posted higher returns than its comparative indexes (listed above). Performance was due primarily to market allocation strategy and currency positioning.

During the review period, we used derivatives for risk management purposes and as a tool to help enhance returns across various strategies. In relation to our currency strategy, derivatives had a direct positive impact on Fund performance. Derivatives were also just one tool, among others, we used to implement our market allocation strategy; that said, overall, our market allocation strategy contributed to Fund performance during the period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Currency strategies, overall, were positive for performance.

  – A long position in a basket of European currencies (the Great Britain pound, the Swedish krona and the Norwegian krone) versus the euro was beneficial, as the euro weakened given the ongoing sovereign debt crisis.

  – In the early part of the fiscal year, the Fund was rewarded for having a short position in the Great Britain pound versus the US dollar. During the time we held this position, the US dollar appreciated against the pound.

  – A short to the Swiss franc versus the euro, which was implemented in August 2011 and removed in September 2011, benefited performance, as the Swiss National Bank implemented a ceiling on the euro/Swiss franc exchange rate during this time.

•  Positioning in certain fixed income sectors aided the Fund's results.

  – An allocation to investment grade corporate bonds and high yield bonds was beneficial, as they generated strong results given overall solid demand from investors looking to generate incremental yield in the low interest rate environment.

  – During the first part of the reporting period, the Fund favored 10-year UK bonds versus Japanese government bonds. This aided performance as inflation and economic growth moderated in the UK, which supported its longer term bonds. In contrast, Japanese government bonds came under pressure given the stimulus program Japan implemented following the March 2011 natural disasters.

UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

•  Exposures to several portions of the global equity market contributed to performance.

  – A bias to US large cap equities versus US small cap equities during the first half of the reporting period was additive for results, as US large cap equities outperformed their smaller-cap counterparts.

  – We initiated a long position in German equities versus Spanish equities in March 2012, which was rewarded because Germany's economy held up relatively well, while Spain's was expected to fall back into a recession.

•  Overall, the Fund's positioning among risk assets contributed to results.

  – When the reporting period began, the Fund had a 30% equity market exposure. 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. This was positive for performance when equities sold off, although it detracted from performance when the market rallied. We then moved to a net positive equity position in October as investor sentiment improved. This allowed the Fund to benefit when equities rebounded in the fourth quarter of 2011.

  – During the first quarter of 2012, there were signs that the US economy was gathering some momentum and we increased the Fund's equity exposure to 35%. This helped us capitalize on the market's rally during the first three months of the year. We then reduced the Fund's equity exposure as data pointed to decelerating economic growth. This position was rewarded when equities sold off during the second quarter. The Fund ended the fiscal year with a 24% allocation to equities and a 76% allocation to fixed income and cash.

What didn't work

•  The Fund's preference for European equities detracted from results. In early 2012 we shifted our bias to European equities over US equities, given that our research showed there were more attractive valuations in Europe, and that US equities appeared to be fairly valued and carrying more downside risk. This positioning was not rewarded as European equities underperformed due to slowing growth and negative investor sentiment given the sovereign debt crisis.

•  Several currency positions were negative for the period.

  – The Fund's short positions in the Australian and New Zealand dollars versus the US dollar were drags on performance. We felt the Australian and New Zealand dollars would weaken given softening commodity prices. While we continue to hold this view, the Australian and New Zealand dollars held up well versus the US dollar.

  – A long position in the Polish zloty versus the euro was a negative, as the zloty lagged the euro during the reporting period.

12  Payments made or received are based on the notional amount.

13  If the Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

14  Payments from/to the counterparty will be received/made upon the occurrence of bankruptcy and/or restructuring event with respect to the referenced index/obligation.

15  If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

16  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. Credit spreads are unaudited.

Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 24; 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 underperformance versus the Index was due primarily to security selection.

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

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Currency strategies, overall, were positive for performance.

  – A long position in a basket of European currencies (the Great Britain pound, the Swedish krona and the Norwegian krone) versus the euro was beneficial, as the euro weakened given the ongoing sovereign debt crisis.

  – In the early part of the fiscal year, the Fund was rewarded for having a short position in the Great Britain pound versus the US dollar. During the time we held this position, the US dollar appreciated against the pound.

  – A long US dollar position versus a short position in the euro enhanced the Fund's results, especially during the second half of the fiscal year given the weakness of the euro.

•  Positioning and security selection in certain fixed income sectors aided the Fund's results.

  – Overweights to investment grade corporate bonds and high yield bonds were beneficial, as they generated strong results given overall solid demand from investors looking to generate incremental yield in the low interest rate environment.

  – During the first part of the reporting period, the Fund had an overweight to 10-year UK bonds versus Japanese government bonds. This aided performance as inflation and economic growth moderated in the UK, which supported its longer term bonds. In contrast, Japanese government bonds came under pressure given the stimulus program Japan implemented following the March 2011 natural disasters.

  – Security selection within US bonds also contributed to results.

•  Exposures to several portions of the global equity market contributed to performance.

  – A bias to US large cap equities versus US small cap equities during the first half of the reporting period was additive for results, as US large cap equities outperformed their smaller-cap counterparts.

UBS Global Allocation Fund

  – We initiated a long position in German equities versus Spanish equities in March 2012, which was rewarded because Germany's economy held up relatively well, while Spain's was expected to fall back into a recession.

What didn't work

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

  – When the reporting period began, the Fund had a 68% equity market exposure, versus the Index's weight of 65%. Given a host of macro issues, including the European sovereign debt crisis and slowing global growth, we took a more conservative approach in the portfolio and sharply reduced our equity exposure toward the end of the third quarter of 2011. This position negatively impacted results when equities rallied over the last three months of 2011.

  Early in 2012, the Fund's underweight to equities continued to be a drag on performance as the global equity market rally continued. We adjusted the Fund's equity position and, by February, had moved to a roughly neutral position versus the Index. By period end, 63% of the portfolio was allocated to equities.

  – A bias to European versus US equities early in 2012 hurt performance. Our research showed European equities were more attractively valued, whereas we believed US equities were fairly valued and had more downside risk over the longer term. This positioning was not rewarded in the short term, as European equities underperformed due to slowing growth and negative investor sentiment given the sovereign debt crisis.

  – An underweight to emerging markets equities for a portion of the period was a drag on performance.

•  Security selection within the global equity market was a negative for results. Throughout the reporting period, we favored higher quality stocks with solid fundamentals and strong balance sheets. However, given the macro-driven environment, companies with strong fundamentals sold off along with the market during periods of risk aversion. Overall, stock selection in the US, developed international and emerging markets detracted from performance.

•  Duration positioning detracted from results. During the fiscal year, the Fund's duration in the US was largely neutral or tactically shorter than that of the Index when we felt US yields would move higher. Overall, duration positioning detracted from results, as US Treasury yields moved sharply lower given decelerating economic growth and as risk-averse investors looked for safe havens amid the challenging macro environment.

•  One currency trade was negative for the period. The Fund's short positions in commodity linked currencies, specifically the Australian and New Zealand dollars versus the US dollar, were drags on performance. We believed the Australian and New Zealand dollars would weaken, given softening commodity prices. While we continue to hold this view, the Australian and New Zealand dollars held up well versus the US dollar during the reporting period.

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 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 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 C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 distribution and service 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.

3  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 distribution and service fees.

4  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.

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 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.

7  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.

*  Non-income producing security.

1  Security, or portion thereof, was on loan at June 30, 2012.

2  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. Regulation S applies to securities offerings that are made outside of the United States and do not involve direct selling efforts in the United States. At June 30, 2012, the value of this security amounted to $106,828 or 0.01% of net assets.

4  Debt security whose principal and/or interest payments are adjusted for inflation, unlike debt securities that make fixed principal and interest payments. The interest rate paid by the securities is fixed, while the principal value rises or falls based on changes in an index. Thus, if inflation occurs, the principal and interest payments on the securities are adjusted accordingly to protect investors from inflationary loss. During a deflationary period, the principal and interest payments decrease, although the securities principal amounts will not drop below their face amounts at maturity. In exchange for the inflation protection, the securities generally pay lower interest rates than typical government securities from the issuer's country. Only if inflation occurs will securities offer a higher real yield than a conventional government security of the same maturity.

UBS Global Frontier Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2012, Class A shares of UBS Global Frontier Fund (the "Fund") declined 10.38% (Class A shares declined 15.34% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares declined 10.07%. The Fund's benchmark, the GSMI Mutual Fund Index (the "Index"), declined 2.07% over the same time period. For comparison purposes, the MSCI World Free Index (net) declined 4.98%. (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 38; 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 underperformance versus the Index was primarily due to 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. In relation to our currency strategy, derivatives had a direct positive impact on Fund performance. Derivatives were also just one tool, among others, we used to implement our market allocation strategy; that said, overall, our market allocation strategy detracted from Fund performance during the period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Currency strategies, overall, were positive for performance.

  – A long position in a basket of European currencies (the Great Britain pound, the Swedish krona and the Norwegian krone) versus the euro was beneficial, as the euro weakened given the ongoing sovereign debt crisis.

  – In the early part of the fiscal year, the Fund was rewarded for having a short position in the Great Britain pound versus the US dollar. During the time we held this position, the US dollar appreciated against the pound.

  – A long US dollar position versus a short position in the euro enhanced the Fund's results, especially during the second half of the fiscal year given the weakness of the euro.

•  Positioning and security selection in certain fixed income sectors aided the Fund's results.

  – Overweights to investment grade corporate bonds and high yield bonds were beneficial, as they generated strong results given overall solid demand from investors looking to generate incremental yield in the low interest rate environment.

  – During the first part of the reporting period, the Fund had an overweight to 10-year UK bonds versus Japanese government bonds. This aided performance as inflation and economic growth moderated in the UK, which supported its longer term bonds. In contrast, Japanese government bonds came under pressure given the stimulus program Japan implemented following the March 2011 natural disasters.

  – Security selection within US bonds also contributed to results.

•  Exposures to several portions of the global equity market contributed to performance.

  – A bias to US large cap equities versus US small cap equities during the first half of the reporting period was additive for results, as US large cap equities outperformed their smaller-cap counterparts.

  – We initiated a long position in German equities versus Spanish equities in March 2012, which was rewarded because Germany's economy held up relatively well, while Spain's was expected to fall back into a recession.

UBS Global Frontier Fund

What didn't work

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

  – When the reporting period began, the Fund had a 68% equity market exposure, versus the Index's weight of 65%. Given a host of macro issues, including the European sovereign debt crisis and slowing global growth, we took a more conservative approach in the portfolio and sharply reduced our equity exposure toward the end of the third quarter of 2011. This position negatively impacted results when equities rallied over the last three months of 2011.

  Early in 2012, the Fund's underweight to equities continued to be a drag on performance as the global equity market rally continued. We adjusted the Fund's equity position and, by February, had moved to a roughly neutral position versus the Index. At period end, the Fund's underlying portfolio, while applying a leverage factor of 25%, still remained overweight to equities based on our forward looking assumptions, with an estimated 78.75% exposure.

  – A bias to European versus US equities early in 2012 hurt performance. Our research showed European equities were more attractively valued, whereas we believed US equities were fairly valued and had more downside risk over the longer term. This positioning was not rewarded in the short term, as European equities underperformed due to slowing growth and negative investor sentiment given the sovereign debt crisis.

  – An underweight to emerging markets equities for a portion of the period was a drag on performance.

•  Security selection within the global equity market was a negative for results. Throughout the reporting period, we favored higher quality stocks with solid fundamentals and strong balance sheets. However, given the macro-driven environment, companies with strong fundamentals sold off along with the market during periods of risk aversion. Overall, stock selection in the US, developed international and emerging markets detracted from performance.

•  Duration positioning detracted from results. During the fiscal year, the Fund's duration in the US was largely neutral or tactically shorter than that of the Index when we felt that US yields would move higher. Overall, duration positioning detracted from results, as US Treasury yields moved sharply lower given decelerating economic growth and as risk-averse investors looked for safe havens amid the challenging macro environment.

•  One currency trade was negative for the period. The Fund's short positions in commodity linked currencies, specifically the Australian and New Zealand dollars versus the US dollar, were drags on performance. We felt the Australian and New Zealand dollars would weaken, given softening commodity prices. While we continue to hold this view, the Australian and New Zealand dollars held up well versus the US dollar during the reporting period.

•  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% from the beginning of the reporting period until early February 2012. We then pared leverage to 35%, and further reduced it to 25% in March, where it remained though the end of the fiscal year. The reduction in the use of leverage reflected our more cautious stance for the portfolio. However, given that leverage magnifies returns on the upside and the downside, the negative impact from market exposure was amplified.

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.

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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

Portfolio footnotes

*  Non-income producing security.

1  Security, or portion thereof, was on loan at June 30, 2012.

2  Debt security whose principal and/or interest payments are adjusted for inflation, unlike debt securities that make fixed principal and interest payments. The interest rate paid by the securities is fixed, while the principal value rises or falls based on changes in an index. Thus, if inflation occurs, the principal and interest payments on the securities are adjusted accordingly to protect investors from inflationary loss. During a deflationary period, the principal and interest payments decrease, although the securities principal amounts will not drop below their face amounts at maturity. In exchange for the inflation protection, the securities generally pay lower interest rates than typical government securities from the issuer's country. Only if inflation occurs will securities offer a higher real yield than a conventional government security of the same maturity.

UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund

Portfolio performance

From the period from its inception on April 25, 2012, through June 30, 2012, Class A shares of UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund (the "Fund") returned 0.50% (Class A shares declined 4.01% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 0.53%. For comparison purposes, the Barclays US Corporate Investment Grade Index (the "Index"), returned 1.56% 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 49; 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 portfolio was managed in accordance with our cautious view on the markets; thus we placed a stronger emphasis on minimizing risk and protecting capital during the review period. If you consider this within the context of the Fund's goal of providing a monthly income payout of between 3% and 6% per year, the Fund was positioned at the lower end of its payout range1. This contributed to positive performance through a very volatile period in the markets.

During the review period, we used derivatives, including writing covered calls, to increase cash flow and reduce the risk profile of the Fund's global real estate allocation. Additionally, we utilized derivatives, including currency forwards, to hedge our exposure to the euro. In summary, while our derivatives exposure was limited in the portfolio, our ability to increase cash flow and neutralize unwanted risks relating to the euro positively contributed to performance.

Portfolio performance summary2

What worked

•  The Fund's allocation to investment-grade corporate bonds was positive for performance.

  – Despite elevated market volatility during the period—and especially in May—the Fund's investment grade corporate bond exposure was a positive contributor to performance.

  – Investment grade corporate bonds represented the largest allocation within the Fund's portfolio, ranging between 25% and 30% throughout the reporting period. The asset class, in our view, offered an attractive valuation and yield relative to Treasuries.

1  How the Fund works

While there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its target payout, UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund seeks a target payout of 3% – 6% per year, based on the current interest rate environment. UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc., the Fund's Advisor, does not represent or guarantee that the Fund will meet this target payout.

In an attempt to achieve its target payout, the Fund will actively allocate among traditional and nontraditional asset classes. The allocation of investments across each asset class will vary over time and will be driven by:

•  Valuation based on the Advisor's 30-year fundamental value philosophy;

•  Economic factors, including the current and projected interest rate environment and credit conditions; and

•  A focus on diversification and risk management to meet the Fund's payout objective while minimizing volatility.

The Fund seeks to achieve its target payout by investing primarily in a combination of equities, fixed income securities, third party ETFs, TIPS, listed exchange options, and other derivative securities. The Fund will also engage in derivative strategies, most notably, call overwriting, and purchase currencies in accordance with its target asset allocation. The strategies that the Fund will employ include a combination of active and passive investment strategies; however, the Fund may invest directly in equity and fixed income securities, and cash equivalents, including money market securities, futures, and currency contracts. In addition, the Fund will engage in covered call option writing to enhance returns and for risk management purposes. Covered calls against equity ETFs will be written to generate premiums that typically would be classified as short-term capital gains and can potentially contribute to enhancing the overall payout of the Fund. Currency forwards could also be used to potentially enhance income using positive carry strategies whereby higher-yielding currencies are bought in exchange for lower-yielding currencies.

UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund

•  The Fund's allocation to global real estate with call overwriting3 contributed to performance.

  – Global real estate represented the second largest position in the portfolio, with a 20% allocation throughout the period.

  – We found global real estate—particularly European and Asian real estate investment trusts (REITs)—to be attractively valued. The asset class also offered attractive yield characteristics versus other equity income sources, such as high dividend-paying stocks.

  – We utilized call overwriting to increase the Fund's cash flow and to help manage the portfolio's risk exposure.

•  Our holdings in certain other spread sectors enhanced the Fund's results.

  – The Fund's allocation to mortgage-backed securities generated good results during the reporting period, due to generally solid demand from investors seeking attractive yields and credit exposure that possesses lower interest rate sensitivity.

  – Our positions in agency mortgage-backed securities aided the Fund's performance, given their positive results over the reporting period.

What didn't work

•  An allocation to high yield bonds modestly detracted from results. While the high yield sector produced solid results in June, this was more than offset by a period of weakness resulting from elevated risk aversion in May. We remain positive on high yield; among other things, attractive spreads versus Treasuries, strong US balance sheets and historically low default rates make it an attractively valued asset class. (The spread is the difference between the yields paid on non-government securities versus those paid on government securities of comparable duration.)

•  The Fund's emerging markets debt (EMD) exposure was a slight drag on performance. The flight-to-quality in May and a strong US dollar negatively impacted the asset class; however, we maintain a positive outlook for EMD based on attractive yields, improving credit quality and underlying fundamentals related to the emerging market currencies.

3  The covered call writing program seeks to generate additional cash flow while improving the Fund's risk profile by reducing the volatility of an asset class holding via the receipt of an option premium. Writing calls may limit upside potential of the Fund.

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. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Fund's advisory contract with the Advisor.

IO  Interest only—This security entitles the holder to receive interest payments from an underlying pool of mortgages. The risk associated with this security is related to the speed of the principal paydowns. High prepayments would result in a smaller amount of interest being received and cause the yield to decrease. Low prepayments would result in a greater amount of interest being received and cause the yield to increase.

TBA  (To be announced) Security is purchased on a forward commitment basis with an approximate principal amount (generally +/-1.0%) and no definite maturity date. The actual principal amount and maturity date will be determined upon settlement, when the specific mortgage pools are assigned.

TIPS  Treasury inflation protected securities ("TIPS") are debt securities issued by the US Treasury whose principal and/or interest payments are adjusted for inflation, unlike debt securities that make fixed principal and interest payments. The interest rate paid by the TIPS is fixed, while the principal value rises or falls based on changes in a published Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). Thus, if inflation occurs, the principal and interest payments on the TIPS are adjusted accordingly to protect investors from inflationary loss. During a deflationary period, the principal and interest payments decrease, although the TIPS principal amounts will not drop below their face amounts at maturity. In exchange for the inflation protection, the TIPS generally pay lower interest rates than typical US Treasury securities. Only if inflation occurs will TIPS offer a higher real yield than a conventional Treasury security of the same maturity.

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; distribution and/or service (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, January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012.

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 January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012.

1  UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund commenced operations on April 25, 2012. Actual expense is equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratios from the commencement of investment operations date, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 67 divided by 366 (to reflect the actual days in the period). For comparability purposes, hypothetical expense assumes that the Fund was in operation for the entire six-month period ended June 30, 2012. Thus, the hypothetical expense is equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182 divided by 366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The figures do not include any applicable sales charges; results would be lower if they were included. 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  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, the Fund's total investment return included a reimbursement by the Investment Advisor for amounts related to a trading error that had an impact on total return of less than 0.005%.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

1. Organization and significant accounting policies

The UBS Funds (the "Trust") is registered with the US 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 15 Funds available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies. The following four funds are covered in this report: UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS Global Frontier Fund, and UBS Multi-Asset Income 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. The Funds currently offer Class A, C and Class Y shares. For each Fund except UBS Global Frontier Fund and UBS Multi-Asset Income fund, Class B shares had been 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 Advisors Trust and other funds for which UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc. ("UBS Global AM (US)") serves as principal underwriter. UBS Global Frontier Fund and UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund have never offered Class B shares. Effective on March 1, 2012, all outstanding Class B shares converted to Class A shares of the same Fund. 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 distribution and service charges and certain transfer agency and related services expenses. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution and/or service plan, if any. Class Y shares have no distribution or service 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 ("US 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 US GAAP for SEC registrants. The Funds' financial statements are prepared in accordance with US 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

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 is believed 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 "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 (or a committee designated by it) 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 are 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 (or a committee designated by it).

The Board has delegated to the UBS Global Asset Management Global Valuation Committee ("GVC") the responsibility for making fair value determinations with respect to the Funds' portfolio holdings. The GVC is comprised of representatives of management, including members of the investment team.

The GVC provides reports to the Board at each quarterly meeting regarding any securities or instruments that have been fair valued, valued pursuant to standing instructions approved by the GVC, or where non-vendor pricing sources had been used to make fair value determinations when sufficient information exists during the prior quarter. Fair valuation determinations are subject to review at least monthly by the GVC during scheduled meetings. Pricing decisions, processes, and controls over fair value determinations are subject to internal and external reviews, including annual internal compliance reviews, periodic internal audit reviews and annual review of securities valuations by the Funds' independent auditors.

The types of securities or instruments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are not limited to: foreign securities and instruments under some circumstances, as discussed below, securities of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; securities or instruments whose trading has been halted or suspended; fixed income securities that are in default and for which there is no current market value quotation; and securities or instruments that are restricted as to transfer or resale. The need to fair value a Fund's portfolio securities and other instruments may also result from low trading volume in foreign markets or thinly traded domestic securities or instruments, and when a security is subject to a trading limit or collar on the exchange or market on which it is primarily traded reaches the "limit up" or "limit down" price and no trading has taken place at that price. 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. Valuing securities and other instruments at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than valuing securities and other instruments that have readily available market quotations. Fair value determinations can also involve reliance on quantitative models employed by a fair value pricing service.

US 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 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. The new disclosures have been implemented for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and there is no change in accounting for the Funds. While the new disclosures are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011, management has determined that the Funds have not entered into transactions that can be deemed "secured borrowings" as defined by ASU 2011-03.

In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 "Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US 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 US GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 requires 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 requires 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 disclosures have been implemented for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At June 30, 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the Funds.

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 US 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. Swap agreements, forward foreign currency contracts and options written entered into by a Fund 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 June 30, 2012 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of June 30, 2012, the Fund would be required to post additional collateral or may be required to

terminate the contracts 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 year ended June 30, 2012, except for forward foreign currency contracts for UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Global Frontier Fund, for which the average volume during the year was greater than at year 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 expenses, and


86



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities, if any, is included in each Fund's Portfolio footnotes.

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 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

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 performance. 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.


88



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 retain 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 June 30, 2012 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

Notes to financial statements

in the value of swap agreements are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on 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 a 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: 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' (except UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund) policy to distribute their respective net investment income and net capital gains, if any, annually. Income dividends are normally declared and paid by UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund monthly and net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and


90



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

distributed at least semi-annually, usually in September and December. 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 US 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 year ended June 30, 2012, UBS Global Allocation Fund recorded $34,274 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.

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:

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 with a value of $4,389,051 and $84,140 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 years ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 were as follows:

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


96



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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.

Post-enactment losses incurred that will be carried forward indefinitely are as follows:

Fund   Short-term
losses
  Long-term
losses
  Net capital
losses

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 year ended June 30, 2012.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of The UBS Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS Global Frontier Fund and UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund (four of the series comprising The UBS Funds) (collectively the "Funds") as of June 30, 2012, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS Global Frontier Fund and UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund at June 30, 2012, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Board approval of investment advisory agreements
(unaudited)

At the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of The UBS Funds (the "Trust"), held on June 7 and 8, 2012 (the "Meeting"), the Board, including those Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust or UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (the "Advisor") and its affiliates (together, the "Independent Trustees"), considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements (the "Advisory Agreements") between the Trust and the Advisor for the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS Global Frontier Fund, UBS Global Equity Fund, UBS International Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS Global Bond Fund, UBS High Yield Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and UBS Core Plus Bond Fund (each a "Fund," and together, the "Funds"). Prior to the Meeting, the Independent Trustees' counsel had sent to the Advisor a request detailing the information that the Independent Trustees wished to receive in connection with their consideration of the continuation of the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees met with their independent counsel, as well as an independent consultant engaged by the Board to assist in the annual Advisory Agreement review process, on June 4, 2012, June 7, 2012 and June 8, 2012, to discuss the materials provided to them in response to the information request, including materials prepared by the Advisor, as well as reports prepared by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper Reports"), an independent statistical compilation company, providing comparative expense information on an actual and contractual basis and comparative performance information for the Funds. The Board also made reference to information and material that had been provided to the Independent Trustees throughout the year at quarterly Board meetings.

At the Meeting, the Board considered a number of factors in connection with its deliberations concerning the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for each Fund, including: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund; (ii) the performance of the Fund and the Advisor; (iii) the Fund's expenses, costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the relationship with the Fund; and (iv) whether economies of scale are realized by the Advisor with respect to the Fund, as it grows larger, and the extent to which the economies of scale are reflected in the level of the management fees charged.

Nature, extent, and quality of services

In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to a Fund, the Board reviewed the material presented by the Advisor describing the various services provided to each Fund. The Board noted that in addition to investment management services, the Advisor provides each Fund with operational, legal, and compliance support. The Board also considered the scope and depth of the Advisor's organization and the experience and expertise of the professionals currently providing investment management and other services to the Funds. The Board considered that the Advisor was a well-established investment management organization employing investment personnel with significant experience in the investment management industry. The Board also considered the Advisor's in-house research capabilities, as well as other research services available to it, including research services available to the Advisor as a result of securities transactions effected for the Funds and the Advisor's other investment management clients, and noted that the Advisor had extensive global research capabilities. The Board also evaluated the Advisor's portfolio management process for each Fund, including the use of risk management techniques and the proprietary technologies utilized to structure the Fund's portfolio. The Board noted that various presentations had been made by investment personnel at Board meetings throughout the year concerning the Funds' investment performance and investment strategies, including the derivative strategies utilized by certain Funds.

The Board also noted and discussed the services that the Advisor and its affiliates provide to the Funds under other agreements with the Trust, including administration services provided by the Advisor, underwriting services provided by UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc. ("UBS Global AM (US)"), and sub-transfer agency services provided by UBS Financial Services Inc. ("UBS Financial Services"). In connection with the non-investment management services, the Board also considered the quarterly reports that the Advisor provides to the Board throughout the year pertaining to brokerage commissions, soft dollars, portfolio valuations, and Rule 12b-1 fees, among others. In addition, the Board considered the presentations provided with respect to distribution strategies for the Funds. The


103

Board also discussed the annual written compliance report from the Chief Compliance Officer and noted enhancements undertaken and planned with respect to the compliance program. After analyzing the services provided by the Advisor to each Fund, both quantitatively and qualitatively, including the impact of these services on investment performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to each Fund were consistent with the operational requirements of each Fund, and met the needs of the Fund's shareholders.

Performance

In evaluating the performance of each Fund, the Board analyzed the Lipper Reports, which compared the performance of each Fund with other funds in its respective peer universe over various time periods. The Board also reviewed the memoranda provided by the Advisor providing an analysis of the markets and the Funds' performance during the past year. In reviewing the Lipper Reports, the Board noted that the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund and UBS Core Plus Bond Fund each had appeared in one of the top three performance quintiles for the one-year performance period. At the Board's request, the Advisor further addressed the performance data for the UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS Global Frontier Fund, UBS International Equity Fund, UBS Global Equity Fund, UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS High Yield Fund, UBS Global Bond Fund and UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, each of which had appeared in one of the lower performance quintiles for the one-year period.

In explaining the performance of the UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Global Frontier Fund, the Advisor discussed the factors that had affected the performance of each Fund. The Advisor stated that during the one-year performance period, each Fund's more conservative stance with respect to risk may have impacted the performance of the UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Global Frontier Fund relative to their peers. Each Fund's defensive position resulted in an underweight to equities in the latter part of 2011, which negatively affected performance relative to its peers. The Advisor noted that while each Fund underperformed relative to its peer universe for the one-year performance period, each of the UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Global Frontier Fund outperformed relative to its peer universe for the three-year performance period, appearing in the second performance quintile and first performance quintile, respectively. The Advisor also stated that for the calendar year-to-date ending March 31, 2012, each of the UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Global Frontier Fund exceeded its peer universe median for the period.

With respect to the performance of the UBS International Equity Fund and UBS Global Equity Fund over the past year, the Advisor stated that stock selection was the primary reason for each Fund's underperformance compared to its peer universe. The Advisor discussed each Fund's stock selection process and stated that each Fund was well positioned in the next year to take advantage of attractively priced stocks that fit each Fund's long-term investment focus. The Advisor also noted that while each of the UBS International Equity Fund and UBS Global Equity Fund underperformed relative to its respective peer universe for the one-year performance period, each Fund exceeded its respective peer universe median for the three-year performance period.

The Advisor then discussed the factors that had a negative effect on the relative performance of the UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund during the one-year performance period. The Advisor specifically outlined the proposed strategy changes that had recently been approved by the Board for the Fund. The Advisor stated that management expected that the strategy changes when implemented would provide a more desirable risk/return target for investors of the UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund.

With respect to the performance of the UBS High Yield Fund for the one-year performance period, the Advisor noted that the Fund had a positive return but also noted that the Fund underperformed relative to its peer benchmark and its universe. In explaining the factors that contributed to the UBS High Yield Fund's relative underperformance for the one-year performance period, the Advisor noted that the Fund's positioning within the financials sector and certain


104



The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements
(unaudited)

industrial subsectors were the major contributors to the Fund's relative underperformance for the period. The Advisor also noted that although the Lipper peer universe reflects an appropriate group of peers, funds within the category are managed to several different indexes. While generally these indices are similar, allocations do vary and over time may result in performance differences, thus impacting peer relative results. The Advisor also noted that the UBS High Yield Fund performed more in line with its peers for the other performance periods presented.

With respect to the UBS Global Bond Fund, the Advisor noted that while the Fund underperformed relative to its benchmark and its peer universe for the one-year period, the Fund experienced a positive return during this time period. The Fund's weaker relative performance was partially attributable to certain sector allocation decisions, including the Fund's investments in investment grade financials, which performed poorly during the period. The Advisor discussed with the Board the performance outlook for the Fund in the upcoming year and stated that it believed that the Fund was positioned for better relative performance.

The Advisor next addressed the relative underperformance of the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund with respect to the Fund's peers. The Advisor stated that the Fund's weaker one-year return was partly attributable to certain hedges the Fund maintained to reduce overall credit market risk. While these hedges were implemented to minimize significant downside events, they generally underperformed as credit markets fared well over the period. The Advisor also discussed with the Board the Fund's strategy of investing in a wide range of fixed income securities, currencies and other investments to generate total returns under a variety of market conditions and economic cycles. The Advisor stated the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund fared poorly compared to its peers because most of the funds in its peer universe are primarily income-focused products which generally maintain long exposure to credit sectors and are less likely than the Fund to engage in hedges or maintain net short positions across interest rates, credit markets and currencies. The Advisor noted that while the funds in the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund's Lipper performance universe benefitted from their income focus during the one-year performance, the Advisor believes that over market cycles, the Fund's ability to maintain both long and short exposure across fixed income and currency markets as part of its unconstrained investment framework will be instrumental in providing attractive risk-adjusted returns for the Fund with minimal correlation to the broader fixed income and equity markets.

The Board concluded that the Advisor's explanations provided a sound basis for understanding the performance of each Fund that underperformed in comparison to its peer universe. The Board determined, after analyzing the performance data, that the performance of each Fund was acceptable as compared with relevant performance standards, given the investment strategies and risk profile of each Fund, the expectations of the shareholder base, the current market environment and the Advisor's efforts to address the underperformance issues of each Fund.

Fund fees and expenses

When considering the fees and expenses borne by each Fund, and the reasonableness of the management fees paid to the Advisor in light of the services provided to each Fund, the Board compared the fees charged by the Advisor to each Fund to fees charged to the funds in its peer group for comparable services, as provided in the Lipper Reports, on both an actual (taking into account expense limitation arrangements) and a contractual basis (assuming all funds in the peer expense group were similar in size to the respective Fund). In examining the Lipper Reports, and in reviewing comparative costs, it was noted that the results of such expense comparisons showed that the actual management fee rate for each Fund, except the UBS Global Allocation Fund, was comparable to, or lower than, the Lipper median in its respective Lipper expense group. The Board also noted that each Fund, except the UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, UBS International Equity Fund, UBS Core Plus Bond Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and UBS Global Bond Fund, had a contractual fee rate comparable to, or lower than, the Lipper median in its respective Lipper expense group. In addition, the Board reviewed the actual total expenses of each Fund and noted that each Fund, except the UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund and UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund, had total expenses that were comparable to, or lower than, the Lipper median in its respective Lipper expense group.

The Board first discussed the management fee of the UBS Global Allocation Fund. It was noted that the actual management fee for the UBS Global Allocation Fund was higher than the management fee of several of the funds in its Lipper expense group. The Board, however, determined that the UBS Global Allocation Fund's management fee was reasonable considering that it was not significantly higher than its Lipper expense group median and the Fund's actual total expenses were in line with the median of its Lipper expense group.

The Board next considered that the management fee of the UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund was higher than the median of its Lipper expense group on a contractual basis, but noted that the Fund's actual management fee compared favorably with the Fund's peers placing in the first quintile of the Lipper expense group. The Board also considered the UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund's total expenses, which were higher than the median of the Fund's expense group. The Advisor explained that the Fund has higher non-management expenses as compared to its peers due to the Fund's smaller asset base.

The Board next discussed the management fee of the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund. It was noted that the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund's management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group on a contractual basis, which led the Board to discuss this Fund's management fee with the Advisor. The Board noted that while the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund's contractual management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, the Fund's actual management fee and total expenses compared favorably to its peers, placing in the first quintile and second quintile, respectively, of its Lipper expense group.

The Board then considered the management fee of the UBS International Equity Fund. It was noted that the UBS International Equity Fund's management fee also was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group on a contractual basis. The Board noted that while the UBS International Equity Fund's contractual management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, the Fund's actual management fee and total expenses each placed in the first quintile in the Fund's Lipper expense group.

The Board also reviewed the management fee of the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund and noted that the contractual management fee for the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund was not significantly higher than the median of the Fund's expense group. The Board also considered that the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund's actual management fee and actual total expenses were each in the first quintile of the Fund's Lipper expense group.

The Board also noted that the contractual management fee for the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund was higher than the management fee of several of the funds in its Lipper expense group. The Board, however, noted that the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund's actual management fee and total expenses were lower than many of the Fund's peers, each ranking in the first quintile of the Fund's Lipper expense group.

With respect to the fees and expenses of the UBS Global Bond Fund, the Board noted that the Fund was above the median of its Lipper expense group with respect to contractual management fees. The Board, however, also noted that the Fund's actual management fee was lower than the median of its Lipper expense group, placing in the first quintile of its expense group. The Board also considered that the UBS Global Bond Fund had total expenses that were in line with the median of its Lipper expense group.

The Board then considered the total expenses of the UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund, noting that the total expenses of the Fund were higher than the Fund's Lipper expense group median. The Advisor explained that the UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund has higher non-management expenses as compared to its peers due to the Fund's smaller asset base. The Board also noted the Fund's management fees, on both an actual and contractual basis, were very competitive with the management fees of the funds in its Lipper expense group.

The Board also received and considered information about the fee rates charged to other funds and accounts that are managed by the Advisor. After discussing the information about the other funds and accounts with the Advisor, the Board determined that the fees charged by the Advisor to the Funds were within a reasonable range, giving effect to differences in services performed for such other funds and accounts as compared to such fee rates. The Board, after reviewing all pertinent material, concluded that the management fee payable under each Fund's Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable, both on an absolute basis and in comparison with the fees of other funds identified in its peer group.

Costs and profitability

The Board considered the costs of providing services to the Funds and the profitability of the Funds to the Advisor and its affiliates by reviewing the profitability analysis provided by the Advisor, including information about its fee revenues and expenses. The Board reviewed the profitability of each Fund to the Advisor and its affiliates, and the compensation that was received for providing services to each Fund. The profitability analysis, which provided information for the last three calendar years, included schedules relating to the revenue and expenses attributable to: (i) the investment advisory and administration services provided by the Advisor; (ii) the distribution and shareholder services provided by UBS Global AM (US) and UBS Financial Services; (iii) the transfer agency-related services provided by UBS Financial Services; and (iv) all services provided by the Advisor, UBS Global AM (US), and UBS Financial Services shown on a consolidated basis. In discussing the profitability analysis with the Board, the Advisor, as requested by the Board, provided the Board with a presentation on the methodology utilized in the profitability analysis. The Board noted that the methodology used for the profitability analysis provided to the Board for purposes of its annual review of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable. The Advisor also explained to the Board the reasons for an increase or decrease in profitability of each Fund from last calendar year to this calendar year.

The Board also considered "fall-out" or ancillary benefits to the Advisor or its affiliates as the result of their relationship with the Funds; for example, the ability to attract other clients due to the Advisor's role as investment advisor to the Funds and the research services available to the Advisor through soft dollar brokerage commissions. The Independent Trustees also considered the ancillary benefits received by the Advisor's affiliates, UBS Securities LLC and UBS AG, in the form of commissions for executing securities transactions for the Funds. Upon closely examining the information provided concerning the Advisor's profitability, the Board concluded that the level of profits realized by the Advisor and its affiliates with respect to each Fund, if any, was reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services that were provided.

Economies of scale

The Board also discussed whether economies of scale are realized by the Advisor with respect to each Fund as it grows larger, and the extent to which this is reflected in the level of management fees charged. The Board noted that with respect to most Funds, any actual or potential economies of scale are, or will be, shared with the Fund and its shareholders through existing management fee breakpoints so that as the Fund grows in size, its effective management fee declines. The Board noted that each Fund, except UBS Global Frontier Fund, UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund and UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, had a breakpoint schedule that provided for continuing breakpoints past the current asset level for the Fund. Based on each Fund's fees and expenses and the Advisor's profitability analysis, the Board concluded that any actual or potential economies of scale would be reasonably shared with a Fund and its shareholders.

After full consideration of the factors discussed above, with no single factor identified as being of paramount importance, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, concluded that the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for each Fund was in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

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

 

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

Committee, the auditors would not be independent of the UBS Funds under applicable federal securities laws, rules or auditing standards.

 

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

 

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