Fees and expenses

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 11 of the Fund's prospectus and in "Reduced sales charges, additional purchase, exchange and redemption information and other services" on page 54 of the Fund's statement of additional information ("SAI").

Total annual fund operating expenses after management fee waiver/expense reimbursements^2,3		2.22			2.97			1.94

¹ Purchases of $1 million or more that were not subject to a front-end sales charge are subject to a 1% CDSC if sold within one year of the purchase date.

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 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 28, 2013, otherwise do not exceed 1.50% for Class A shares, 2.25% for Class C shares and 1.25% for Class Y shares. Pursuant to the written agreement, the Advisor is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees it waives and expenses it reimburses for a period of three years following such fee waivers and expense reimbursements, to the extent that such reimbursement of the Advisor

by the Fund will not cause the Fund to exceed any applicable expense limit that is in place for the Fund. 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:

	1 year		3 years		5 years		10 years
Class A	$	763	$	1,399	$	2,059	$	3,813
Class C (assuming sale of all shares at end of period)		400		1,134		1,985		4,182
Class C (assuming no sale of shares)		300		1,134		1,985		4,182
Class Y		197		799		1,427		3,119

Portfolio turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 85% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal strategies

Principal investments

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes, if any) in equity securities of US companies. The Fund will generally invest in equity securities of large and mid capitalization companies but is permitted to invest up to 15% of its net assets in small capitalization companies. The Fund will maintain both long positions and short positions in equity securities and securities with equity-like characteristics. In addition, up to 20% of the Fund's net assets may be invested in securities of foreign companies in developed countries, including long and short positions in foreign equity securities and securities with equity-like characteristics.

The Fund may, but is not required to, use exchange-traded or over-the-counter derivative instruments for risk management purposes or as part of the Fund's investment strategies. The derivatives in which the Fund may invest include futures and forward currency agreements. These derivatives may be used for risk management purposes to manage or adjust the risk profile of the Fund. Futures on currencies and forward currency agreements may also be used to hedge against a specific currency. In addition, futures on indices may be used for investment (non-hedging) purposes to earn income; to enhance returns; to replace more traditional direct investments; or to obtain exposure to certain markets.

The Fund may also invest in exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") and similarly structured pooled investments in order to provide exposure to the equity markets while maintaining liquidity. The Fund may also engage in short sales of ETFs and similarly structured pooled investments in order to reduce exposure to certain sectors of the equity markets.

Management process

The Advisor's investment style is singularly focused on investment fundamentals. The Advisor believes that investment fundamentals determine and describe future cash flows that define fundamental investment value. The Advisor tries to identify and exploit periodic discrepancies between market prices and fundamental value. These price/value discrepancies are used as the building blocks for portfolio construction.

In constructing the Fund's portfolio, the Advisor primarily uses fundamental analysis and, to a lesser extent, quantitative analysis to identify securities that are underpriced and overpriced relative to their fundamental value. In general, the Advisor buys securities "long" for the Fund's portfolio that it believes are underpriced and will outperform, and sells securities "short" that it believes are overpriced and will underperform. The Fund anticipates that it will normally maintain long positions in equity securities and securities with equity-like characteristics equal to 120% to 140% of the value of its net assets, short positions in equity securities and securities with equity-like characteristics equal to 20% to 40% of the value of its net assets and cash positions equal to 0% to 10% of the value of its net assets. This active management process is intended to produce performance that outperforms the Fund's benchmark. The Fund's ability to fully implement its investment strategy may be affected by (i) regulatory restrictions prohibiting short sales of certain securities that may be imposed from time to time or (ii) the Advisor's written procedures designed to address potential conflicts that exist where the Advisor manages both long-only and long/short accounts and/or funds.

In employing its investment strategies for the Fund, the Advisor attempts to outperform (before taking into account any Fund fees or expenses) the Russell 1000 Index by 2.50% to 5.00% per year with a similar level of market risk as the benchmark over a full market cycle. A typical market cycle is 4 to 7 years. The Advisor does not represent or guarantee that the Fund will meet this total return goal.

Main risks

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

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

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

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 the 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, the 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.

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

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

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.

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.

Unseasoned company risk: The Fund may invest in relatively new or unseasoned companies that are in their early stages of development. Securities of unseasoned companies present greater risks than securities of larger, more established companies. The companies may have greater risks because they (i) may be dependent on a small number of products or services; (ii) may lack substantial capital reserves; and (iii) do not have proven track records.
