Expense, Heading	rr_ExpenseHeading	Fees and expenses
Expense, Narrative	rr_ExpenseNarrativeTextBlock	These tables describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. You may qualify for a sales charge waiver or discount if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in the Fund. More information about these and other discounts and waivers, as well as eligibility requirements for each share class, is available from your financial advisor and in "Managing your fund account" on page 12 of the Fund's prospectus and in "Reduced sales charges, additional purchase, exchange and redemption information and other services" on page 55 of the Fund's statement of additional information ("SAI").

Operating Expenses, Caption	rr_OperatingExpensesCaption	Annual fund operating expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Portfolio Turnover, Heading	rr_PortfolioTurnoverHeading	Portfolio turnover
Portfolio Turnover	rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock	The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 460% of the average value of its portfolio.

Expense Example, Heading	rr_ExpenseExampleHeading	Example
Expense Example, Narrative	rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock	This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of your shares at the end of those periods unless otherwise stated. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The costs described in the example reflect the expenses of the Fund that would result from the contractual fee waiver and expense reimbursement agreement with the Advisor for the first year only. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
Investment Strategy, Heading	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal strategies
Investment Strategy, Narrative	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	Principal investments Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes, if any) in equity and/or equity-related instruments. Equity-related instruments include securities or other instruments that derive their value from equity securities and may include such instruments as short sales of equity securities, swaps on equity securities, and futures and options on equity securities. Investments by the Fund in equity securities may include, but are not limited to, common stock and preferred stock of issuers in developed countries (including the United States) and emerging markets. The Fund's equity investments may include large, intermediate and small capitalization companies. The Fund will maintain both long positions and short positions in equity securities and securities with equity-like characteristics. The Fund also may invest in securities convertible into equity securities. The Fund may, but is not required to, use exchange-traded or over-the- counter derivative instruments for risk management purposes or as part of the Fund's investment strategies. The derivatives in which the Fund may invest include options, futures, forward agreements, swap agreements (specifically, total return and currency swaps), equity participation notes and equity linked notes. All of these derivatives may be used for risk management purposes, such as hedging against a specific security or currency, or to manage or adjust the risk profile of the Fund. In addition, all of the derivative instruments listed above may be used for investment (non-hedging) purposes to earn income; to enhance returns; to replace more traditional direct investments; to obtain exposure to certain markets; or to establish net short positions for individual markets, currencies or securities. Under certain market conditions, the Fund may invest in companies at the time of their initial public offering ("IPO"). To the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), the Fund may borrow money from banks to purchase investments for the Fund. Management process The Fund seeks to maximize total returns by allocating its assets among one or more distinct equity investment strategies (each a "Fund component" and together, the "Fund components"), which are managed by portfolio management teams at the Advisor. Each Fund component is unique in terms of the source of its investment insight, its geographic focus, or both. A Fund component will purchase securities long that it believes will outperform the market, other Fund securities or both, and sell securities short that are expected to underperform the market, other Fund securities or both. The Fund engages in its long/short strategies in order to generate returns with low correlations to equity markets. The Advisor selects Fund components and allocates the Fund's assets among the Fund components based on each Fund component's expected contribution to the risk adjusted investment return of the Fund. Fund components are chosen by the Advisor in part because the Fund components demonstrate a low correlation of returns versus equity markets and among each other. The Advisor intends to allocate assets among the Fund components with the goal of providing returns for the Fund that are a function of the Advisor's stock-level investment insights rather than a function of broad market movements. In deciding the Fund's allocation to each Fund component, the Advisor utilizes analytical tools that enable the Advisor to view the entire investment portfolio of the Fund across all underlying components in order to best assess the allocation of Fund assets among these components based on alpha potential and contribution to volatility and to monitor the impact of individual stock positions, both long and short positions, on the Fund's entire portfolio. The Fund components utilize fundamental valuation, quantitative research or a combination of both to construct a portfolio. The investment decisions for certain Fund components are based on price/value discrepancies as identified by the Advisor's fundamental valuation process. In selecting securities utilizing the fundamental valuation process, the Advisor bases its estimates of value upon economic, industry and company analysis, as well as upon a company's management team, competitive advantage and core competencies. The investment decisions for other Fund components are based on investment opportunities generated by quantitative research techniques that systematically exploit market anomalies to provide consistent excess returns for the Fund. The Fund's expected net equity market exposure (long market value - short market value) will typically range from 10% to 50%; however, in response to market conditions the Fund may adjust its net equity market exposure. The Fund's net equity market exposure may range from -25% to +75% and at the same time will comply with all leverage restrictions required by Section 18 of the 1940 Act and subsequent determinations of the SEC and any other regulatory limitations. The Fund may hold a substantial portion of its total assets in cash when the Fund maintains a net short equity market position. By taking both long and short positions, the Fund seeks to provide some protection in down markets when compared to a fund that takes only long positions.
Risk, Heading	rr_RiskHeading	Main risks
Risk, Narrative	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	All investments carry a certain amount of risk and the Fund cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objective. You may lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of the bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Below are some of the specific risks of investing in the Fund. Management risk: The risk that the investment strategies, techniques and risk analyses employed by the Advisor may not produce the desired results. Short sales risk: There are certain unique risks associated with the use of short sales strategies. When selling a security short, the Advisor will sell a security it does not own at the then-current market price and then borrow the security to deliver to the buyer. The Fund is then obligated to buy the security on a later date so it can return the security to the lender. Short sales therefore involve the risk that the Fund will incur a loss by subsequently buying a security at a higher price than the price at which the Fund previously sold the security short. This would occur if the securities lender required the Fund to deliver the securities the Fund had borrowed at the commencement of the short sale and the Fund was unable to either purchase the security at a favorable price or to borrow the security from another securities lender. If this occurs at a time when other short sellers of the security also want to close out their positions, a "short squeeze" can occur. A short squeeze occurs when demand is greater than supply for the security sold short. Moreover, because a Fund's loss on a short sale arises from increases in the value of the security sold short, such loss, like the price of the security sold short, is theoretically unlimited. By contrast, a Fund's loss on a long position arises from decreases in the value of the security and therefore is limited by the fact that a security's value cannot drop below zero. It is possible that the Fund's securities held long will decline in value at the same time that the value of the securities sold short increases, thereby increasing the potential for loss. Foreign investing risk: The value of the Fund's investments in foreign securities may fall due to adverse political, social and economic developments abroad and due to decreases in foreign currency values relative to the US dollar. Also, foreign securities are sometimes less liquid and more difficult to sell and to value than securities of US issuers. These risks are greater for investments in emerging market issuers. In addition, investments in emerging market issuers may decline in value because of unfavorable foreign government actions, greater risks of political instability or the absence of accurate information about emerging market issuers. Multi-strategy risk: The risk that the Fund may allocate assets to a Fund component that underperforms other strategy types. Market risk: The risk that the market value of the Fund's investments may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, as the stock and bond markets fluctuate. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, or sector of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. Derivatives risk: The value of "derivatives"--so called because their value "derives" from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index-may rise or fall more rapidly than other investments. When using derivatives for non-hedging purposes, it is possible for the Fund to lose more than the amount it invested in the derivative. The risks of investing in derivative instruments also include market and management risks. In addition, many types of swaps and other non-exchange traded derivatives may be subject to liquidity risk, credit risk and mispricing or valuation complexity. These derivatives risks are different from, and may be greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other instruments. Leverage risk associated with financial instruments: The use of financial instruments to increase potential returns, including derivatives used for investment (non-hedging) purposes, may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged. The use of leverage may also accelerate the velocity of losses and can result in losses to the Fund that exceed the amount originally invested. Leverage risk associated with borrowing: The Fund may borrow money from banks to purchase investments for the Fund, which is a form of leverage. If the Fund borrows money to purchase securities and the Fund's investments decrease in value, the Fund's losses will be greater than if the Fund did not borrow money for investment purposes. In addition, if the return on an investment purchased with borrowed funds is not sufficient to cover the cost of borrowing, then the net income of the Fund would be less than if borrowing were not used. Limited capitalization risk: The risk that securities of smaller capitalization companies tend to be more volatile and less liquid than securities of larger capitalization companies. This can have a disproportionate effect on the market price of smaller capitalization companies and affect the Fund's ability to purchase or sell these securities. In general, smaller capitalization companies are more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments and they may have more limited resources. IPOs risk: The purchase of shares issued in IPOs may expose the Fund to the risks associated with issuers that have no operating history as public companies, as well as to the risks associated with the sectors of the market in which the issuer operates. The market for IPO shares may be volatile, and share prices of newly-public companies may fluctuate significantly over a short period of time.

[1] Due to the Fund's strategy change, the Fund has restated the "Dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short" and "Acquired fund fees and expenses" based on the anticipated expenses for the new strategy. These "Dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short" and "Acquired fund fees and expenses" are based on estimates and may vary based on actual investments. The actual "Dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short" for the Fund's fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were 2.38% for Class A shares, 2.44% for Class C shares and 2.32% for Class Y shares. The actual "Acquired fund fees and expenses" for the Fund's fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were 0.04% for Class A shares, 0.04% for Class C shares and 0.04% for Class Y shares. The actual "Total annual fund operating expenses" for the Fund's fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were 5.30% for Class A shares, 5.98% for Class C shares and 4.87% for Class Y shares. The actual "Total annual fund operating expenses after management fee waiver/expense reimbursements" for the Fund's fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were 4.17% for Class A shares, 4.98% for Class C shares and 3.86% for Class Y shares.

[2] Since the "Acquired fund fees and expenses" are not directly borne by the Fund, they are not reflected in the Fund's financial statements, and therefore the amounts listed in "Total annual fund operating expenses" and "Total annual fund operating expenses after management fee waiver/expense reimbursements" will differ from those presented in the Financial highlights.

[3] 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 ompanies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, 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, dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short), through the period ending October 27, 2013, do not exceed 1.75% for Class A shares, 2.50% for Class C shares and 1.50% for Class Y shares. Pursuant to the written agreement, the Advisor is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees it waives and expenses it reimburses for a period of three years following such fee waivers and expense reimbursements to the extent that such reimbursement of the Advisor by the Fund will not cause the Fund to exceed any applicable expense limit that is in place for the Fund. 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. Upon termination of the fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement, however, the UBS Global AM (Americas)'s three year recoupment rights will survive.

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund
with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you
invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of
your shares at the end of those periods unless otherwise stated. The example
also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's
operating expenses remain the same. The costs described in the example reflect
the expenses of the Fund that would result from the contractual fee waiver and
expense reimbursement agreement with the Advisor for the first year only.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions,
your costs would be:

Expense Example UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund (USD $)	Expense Example, With Redemption, 1 Year	Expense Example, With Redemption, 3 Years	Expense Example, With Redemption, 5 Years	Expense Example, With Redemption, 10 Years
Class A	854	1,691	2,539	4,711
Class C	496	1,395	2,395	4,901
Class Y	297	1,112	1,944	4,101

Expense Example, No Redemption (USD $)	Expense Example, No Redemption, 1 Year	Expense Example, No Redemption, 3 Years	Expense Example, No Redemption, 5 Years	Expense Example, No Redemption, 10 Years
UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund Class C	396	1,395	2,395	4,901

Portfolio turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 460%
of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal strategies

Principal investments

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net
assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes, if any) in equity
and/or equity-related instruments. Equity-related instruments include
securities or other instruments that derive their value from equity
securities and may include such instruments as short sales of equity
securities, swaps on equity securities, and futures and options on
equity securities. Investments by the Fund in equity securities may
include, but are not limited to, common stock and preferred stock
of issuers in developed countries (including the United States) and
emerging markets. The Fund's equity investments may include large,
intermediate and small capitalization companies. The Fund will maintain
both long positions and short positions in equity securities and
securities with equity-like characteristics. The Fund also may invest
in securities convertible into equity securities.

The Fund may, but is not required to, use exchange-traded or over-the-
counter derivative instruments for risk management purposes or as part
of the Fund's investment strategies. The derivatives in which the Fund
may invest include options, futures, forward agreements, swap agreements
(specifically, total return and currency swaps), equity participation
notes and equity linked notes. All of these derivatives may be used for
risk management purposes, such as hedging against a specific security or
currency, or to manage or adjust the risk profile of the Fund. In addition,
all of the derivative instruments listed above may be used for investment
(non-hedging) purposes to earn income; to enhance returns; to replace more
traditional direct investments; to obtain exposure to certain markets; or to
establish net short positions for individual markets, currencies or securities.

Under certain market conditions, the Fund may invest in companies at the
time of their initial public offering ("IPO"). To the extent permitted by
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), the Fund
may borrow money from banks to purchase investments for the Fund.

Management process

The Fund seeks to maximize total returns by allocating its assets among one
or more distinct equity investment strategies (each a "Fund component" and
together, the "Fund components"), which are managed by portfolio management
teams at the Advisor. Each Fund component is unique in terms of the source of
its investment insight, its geographic focus, or both. A Fund component will
purchase securities long that it believes will outperform the market, other
Fund securities or both, and sell securities short that are expected to
underperform the market, other Fund securities or both. The Fund engages in
its long/short strategies in order to generate returns with low correlations
to equity markets.

The Advisor selects Fund components and allocates the Fund's assets among the
Fund components based on each Fund component's expected contribution to the
risk adjusted investment return of the Fund. Fund components are chosen by the
Advisor in part because the Fund components demonstrate a low correlation of
returns versus equity markets and among each other. The Advisor intends to
allocate assets among the Fund components with the goal of providing returns
for the Fund that are a function of the Advisor's stock-level investment
insights rather than a function of broad market movements.

In deciding the Fund's allocation to each Fund component, the Advisor utilizes
analytical tools that enable the Advisor to view the entire investment portfolio
of the Fund across all underlying components in order to best assess the
allocation of Fund assets among these components based on alpha potential and
contribution to volatility and to monitor the impact of individual stock
positions, both long and short positions, on the Fund's entire portfolio.

The Fund components utilize fundamental valuation, quantitative research or
a combination of both to construct a portfolio. The investment decisions for
certain Fund components are based on price/value discrepancies as identified
by the Advisor's fundamental valuation process. In selecting securities utilizing
the fundamental valuation process, the Advisor bases its estimates of value upon
economic, industry and company analysis, as well as upon a company's management
team, competitive advantage and core competencies. The investment decisions for
other Fund components are based on investment opportunities generated by
quantitative research techniques that systematically exploit market anomalies
to provide consistent excess returns for the Fund.

The Fund's expected net equity market exposure (long market value - short market
value) will typically range from 10% to 50%; however, in response to market
conditions the Fund may adjust its net equity market exposure. The Fund's net
equity market exposure may range from -25% to +75% and at the same time will
comply with all leverage restrictions required by Section 18 of the 1940 Act
and subsequent determinations of the SEC and any other regulatory limitations.
The Fund may hold a substantial portion of its total assets in cash when the
Fund maintains a net short equity market position. By taking both long and
short positions, the Fund seeks to provide some protection in down markets
when compared to a fund that takes only long positions.

Main risks

All investments carry a certain amount of risk and the Fund cannot guarantee
that it will achieve its investment objective. You may lose money by investing
in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of the bank and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other government agency. Below are some of the specific risks of investing in
the Fund.

Management risk: The risk that the investment strategies, techniques and risk
analyses employed by the Advisor may not produce the desired results.

Short sales risk: There are certain unique risks associated with the use of
short sales strategies. When selling a security short, the Advisor will sell
a security it does not own at the then-current market price and then borrow
the security to deliver to the buyer. The Fund is then obligated to buy the
security on a later date so it can return the security to the lender. Short
sales therefore involve the risk that the Fund will incur a loss by
subsequently buying a security at a higher price than the price at which
the Fund previously sold the security short. This would occur if the securities
lender required the Fund to deliver the securities the Fund had borrowed
at the commencement of the short sale and the Fund was unable to either
purchase the security at a favorable price or to borrow the security from
another securities lender. If this occurs at a time when other short sellers
of the security also want to close out their positions, a "short squeeze" can
occur. A short squeeze occurs when demand is greater than supply for the
security sold short. Moreover, because a Fund's loss on a short sale arises
from increases in the value of the security sold short, such loss, like the price
of the security sold short, is theoretically unlimited. By contrast, a Fund's
loss on a long position arises from decreases in the value of the security and
therefore is limited by the fact that a security's value cannot drop below zero.
It is possible that the Fund's securities held long will decline in value at the
same time that the value of the securities sold short increases, thereby
increasing the potential for loss.

Foreign investing risk: The value of the Fund's investments in foreign securities
may fall due to adverse political, social and economic developments abroad
and due to decreases in foreign currency values relative to the US dollar. Also,
foreign securities are sometimes less liquid and more difficult to sell and to
value than securities of US issuers. These risks are greater for investments in
emerging market issuers. In addition, investments in emerging market issuers
may decline in value because of unfavorable foreign government actions,
greater risks of political instability or the absence of accurate information about
emerging market issuers.

Multi-strategy risk: The risk that the Fund may allocate assets to a Fund
component that underperforms other strategy types.

Market risk: The risk that the market value of the Fund's investments may
fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, as the stock and bond markets
fluctuate. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, or sector of the
economy, or it may affect the market as a whole.

Derivatives risk: The value of "derivatives"--so called because their value
"derives" from the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index-may
rise or fall more rapidly than other investments. When using derivatives for
non-hedging purposes, it is possible for the Fund to lose more than the amount
it invested in the derivative. The risks of investing in derivative instruments
also include market and management risks. In addition, many types of swaps
and other non-exchange traded derivatives may be subject to liquidity risk,
credit risk and mispricing or valuation complexity. These derivatives risks
are different from, and may be greater than, the risks associated with
investing directly in securities and other instruments.

Leverage risk associated with financial instruments: The use of financial
instruments to increase potential returns, including derivatives used for
investment (non-hedging) purposes, may cause the Fund to be more volatile
than if it had not been leveraged. The use of leverage may also accelerate
the velocity of losses and can result in losses to the Fund that exceed the
amount originally invested.

Leverage risk associated with borrowing: The Fund may borrow money from banks
to purchase investments for the Fund, which is a form of leverage. If the Fund
borrows money to purchase securities and the Fund's investments decrease in
value, the Fund's losses will be greater than if the Fund did not borrow money
for investment purposes. In addition, if the return on an investment purchased
with borrowed funds is not sufficient to cover the cost of borrowing, then the
net income of the Fund would be less than if borrowing were not used.

Limited capitalization risk: The risk that securities of smaller capitalization
companies tend to be more volatile and less liquid than securities of larger
capitalization companies. This can have a disproportionate effect on the
market price of smaller capitalization companies and affect the Fund's ability to
purchase or sell these securities. In general, smaller capitalization companies
are more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic
developments and they may have more limited resources.

IPOs risk: The purchase of shares issued in IPOs may expose the Fund to the
risks associated with issuers that have no operating history as public companies,
as well as to the risks associated with the sectors of the market in which the
issuer operates. The market for IPO shares may be volatile, and share prices of
newly-public companies may fluctuate significantly over a short period of time.

Performance

Risk/return bar chart and table

The performance information that follows shows the Fund's performance
information in a bar chart and an average annual total returns table. The
information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund
by showing the Fund's performance for the year 2011 and by showing how the
Fund's average annual total returns compare with those of a broad measure
of market performance. Index reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or
taxes. The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not
necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. On
September 5, 2012 the Fund's investment strategy changed. The performance
information below, prior to that date, is attributable to the Fund's
previous investment strategy. Updated performance for the Fund is available
at http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual
federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state
and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax
situation and may differ from those shown. In addition, the after-tax
returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold Fund shares
through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or
individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns for other classes
will vary from the Class Y shares' after-tax returns shown.

[1] Due to the Fund's strategy change, the Fund has restated the "Dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short" and "Acquired fund fees and expenses" based on the anticipated expenses for the new strategy. These "Dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short" and "Acquired fund fees and expenses" are based on estimates and may vary based on actual investments. The actual "Dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short" for the Fund's fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were 2.38% for Class A shares, 2.44% for Class C shares and 2.32% for Class Y shares. The actual "Acquired fund fees and expenses" for the Fund's fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were 0.04% for Class A shares, 0.04% for Class C shares and 0.04% for Class Y shares. The actual "Total annual fund operating expenses" for the Fund's fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were 5.30% for Class A shares, 5.98% for Class C shares and 4.87% for Class Y shares. The actual "Total annual fund operating expenses after management fee waiver/expense reimbursements" for the Fund's fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 were 4.17% for Class A shares, 4.98% for Class C shares and 3.86% for Class Y shares.

[2] Since the "Acquired fund fees and expenses" are not directly borne by the Fund, they are not reflected in the Fund's financial statements, and therefore the amounts listed in "Total annual fund operating expenses" and "Total annual fund operating expenses after management fee waiver/expense reimbursements" will differ from those presented in the Financial highlights.

[3] 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 ompanies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, 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, dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short), through the period ending October 27, 2013, do not exceed 1.75% for Class A shares, 2.50% for Class C shares and 1.50% for Class Y shares. Pursuant to the written agreement, the Advisor is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees it waives and expenses it reimburses for a period of three years following such fee waivers and expense reimbursements to the extent that such reimbursement of the Advisor by the Fund will not cause the Fund to exceed any applicable expense limit that is in place for the Fund. 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. Upon termination of the fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement, however, the UBS Global AM (Americas)'s three year recoupment rights will survive.
