President's letter

February 15, 2013

Dear Shareholder,

Since I last wrote to you six months ago, some of the macroeconomic concerns, such as the US fiscal cliff, European sovereign debt crisis and other potential global worries, shaking investor confidence have largely abated. As a result, we are witnessing early signs that investors are looking to transition some of their assets from traditional fixed income and cash back into risk assets. However, concerns remain, and a large number of investors are waiting on the sidelines, either hesitant or unwilling to venture into uncertain and relatively more volatile markets.

While those investors who have contributed to record fixed income asset flows over the past few years have generally been compensated with positive performance, this seemingly soft-paved road they have been riding may eventually hit a rough patch—inevitably resulting in a letdown for those who have grown complacent in the benign fixed income market. Equally disappointed may be those investors sitting on the sidelines in cash, as they may find they were unable to achieve the level of returns required to fund their future needs. Clearly, now more than ever, investors need to examine their portfolios. Given these circumstances, what may be an investor's best defense against the backdrop of a volatile—or any—market environment? The answer is a thoughtful plan anchored on diversification.

At UBS Global Asset Management, we remain committed to providing you with globally diversified, outcome-oriented solutions that we believe can help you navigate today's markets and help you meet your investment goals. Over the last few years, we have enhanced and refined our mutual fund lineup to better meet your needs for growth, while limiting volatility in the face of evolving markets. For example, in April 2012, we launched UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, which is designed to provide risk-managed income while focusing on minimizing capital risk in the current interest rate environment. UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund seeks to provide investors with a flexible strategy that relies less on favorable market conditions to generate an absolute return, and focuses more on loss limitation. UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, which has the flexibility to adjust its duration and the ability to short interest rate markets, can play an important complementary role in an investor's overall fixed income allocation.

We recognize that now, more than ever, investors can benefit from professional guidance as they review their portfolios and reallocate them with a forward-thinking view. In making this transition, the value of risk-managed solutions provided by well-resourced global managers cannot be overemphasized. I firmly believe that our over 30-year active asset allocation history combined with our diversified and continually evolving fund lineup can help investors build their portfolios to successfully meet their individual, long-term investment goals.

Sincerely,

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

The markets in review

Global economic growth decelerates

While the overall US economy continued to grow during the reporting period, the pace of the expansion was mixed and far from robust. Looking back, the Commerce Department reported 2.0% gross domestic product ("GDP") growth in the US for the first quarter of 2012, followed by growth of 1.3% in the second quarter, partially due to weaker consumer spending. After expanding 3.1% in the third quarter, GDP growth contracted 0.1%1 in the fourth quarter, representing the first negative reading since the second quarter of 2009.

The Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") took a number of actions during the reporting period, as it looked to meet its dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment. Throughout the reporting period, the Fed kept the federal funds rate (the federal funds rate, or "fed funds" rate, is the rate banks charge one another for funds they borrow on an overnight basis) at an extremely low level of between 0% and 0.25%. Prior to the beginning of the reporting period, 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 June meeting, the Fed extended Operation Twist until the end of 2012. In September, the Fed launched a third round of quantitative easing ("QE3"), which involved purchasing $40 billion of agency mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") on an open-end basis each month. At its final meeting of the year, in December, the Fed said it would continue buying $40 billion a month of agency MBS, as well as purchase $45 billion a month of longer-term Treasuries. The Fed also said that it would keep the federal funds rate on hold "...as long as the unemployment rate remains above 6.5%," provided inflation remains well-contained.

Economic growth in countries outside the US also decelerated and, in some cases, fell back into recessions. In October 2012, the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") projected that global growth would decline from 3.8% in 2011 to 3.3% in 2012. From a regional perspective, the IMF anticipated that 2012 growth in the Eurozone would contract 0.4%. While growth in emerging market countries was expected to remain higher than in their developed country counterparts, the IMF projected that emerging market growth would fall from 6.2% in 2011 to 5.3% in 2012.

Risk is rewarded in the fixed income market

There were several macro-induced flights to quality in the global fixed income markets during the reporting period, triggered by a number of factors, including the European sovereign debt crisis, moderating global growth and uncertainties related to the US "fiscal cliff." However, they proved to be only temporary setbacks and the US taxable spread sectors (non-US Treasury fixed income securities) generally outperformed equal duration Treasuries during the reporting period. With the Fed keeping interest rates at a historically low range, investors were drawn to lower quality/higher yielding fixed income securities for much of the period. Against this backdrop, high yield bonds and emerging markets debt generated strong returns. All told, the overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Index,2 returned 1.80% during the six months ended December 31, 2012.

Looking closer at lower-rated fixed income securities, the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index3 returned 7.87% during the reporting period. Emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),4 rose 10.32% over the six-month period.

1  Based on the Commerce Department's most recent estimate announced on January 30, 2013, after the Fund's fiscal period had ended.

2  The Barclays US Aggregate Index is an unmanaged broad based index designed to measure the US dollar-demonimnated, investment-grade, taxable bond market. The index includes bonds from the Treasury, government-related, corporate, mortgage-backed, asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed sectors. 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 US dollar denominated below investment grade corporate debt, currently in a coupon paying period, that is publicly issued in the US domestic market 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 six months ended December 31, 2012, Class A shares of UBS Core Plus Bond Fund (the "Fund") returned 2.69% (Class A shares declined 1.93 % after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 2.83%. The Fund's benchmark, the Barclays US Aggregate Index (the "Index"), returned 1.80% 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 outperformed the Index during the reporting period, largely due to sector allocation and issue selection.

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

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

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

  – Both our allocation to commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") and security selection within the sector contributed to results. While the Fund's CMBS exposure fluctuated from month to month, we generally maintained an overweight position for the period. Within the sector, the Fund held a mix of securities across the capital structure. During the second half of 2012, CMBS significantly outperformed most other spread sectors.

  – Investor demand for yield and a preference for higher quality, lower risk assets provided momentum for investment grade credit. Against this backdrop, the Fund's overweight to the sector was beneficial. The Fund was underweight non-financials in favor of financials. This positioning worked in our favor as financials outperformed non-financials for the period.

  – An out-of-index exposure to high yield bonds modestly added to performance.

•  Security selection in investment grade corporate bonds and securitized debt helped the Fund's performance. Within the corporate sector, we emphasized more liquid, higher beta (higher risk) companies, which was additive for results. Our issue selection in mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") was also a positive for performance. In agency MBS, we had a bias toward the lower coupons throughout the period in both the 30-year and 15-year segments.

UBS Core Plus Bond Fund

What didn't work

•  Duration and yield curve positioning were detractors from performance. We tactically traded duration throughout the period, spending most of the time with a short duration bias. At different times during the period, we initiated yield curve flatteners for the portfolio. This was a detractor as the yield curve steepened during the reporting period.

•  The Fund's active currency decisions in several developed markets detracted from results. The largest detractor came from the Fund's short position in the euro, which strengthened during the reporting period as momentum in economic activity in Europe appeared to be improving, albeit at a modest pace.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 29, 2012 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.46% and 0.65%; Class C—1.92% and 1.15%; Class Y—1.13% and 0.40%. 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 28, 2013, do not exceed 0.64% for Class A shares, 1.14% for Class C shares and 0.39% 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.

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 Barclays US Aggregate Index is an unmanaged broad based index designed to measure the US dollar-denominated, investment-grade, taxable bond market. The index includes bonds from the Treasury, government-related, corporate, mortgage-backed, asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed sectors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

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

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

7  Security is illiquid. At December 31, 2012, the value of these securities and other illiquid derivative instruments amounted to $19,339 or 0.05% of net assets.

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

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 a bankruptcy and/or restructuring event with respect to the referenced index/obligation.

11  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 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 underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

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

UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund

Portfolio performance

From the period from its inception on July 23, 2012 through December 31, 2012, Class A shares of UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund (the "Fund") returned 8.67% (Class A shares returned 3.79% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 9.30%. For comparison purposes, the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global) returned 6.07%, and the Emerging Markets Debt Benchmark Index (the "Index") returned 6.41% 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 17; 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 and outperformed its Index, primarily due to country and currency positioning.

The Fund used derivatives during the reporting period. Certain foreign exchange instruments were utilized to manage the Fund's currency exposure, while credit default swaps were used to express our views regarding specific country exposures, as well as for hedging purposes. To a smaller extent, the Fund also utilized interest rate derivatives to adjust its duration positioning. Derivatives play a role in the overall portfolio construction process, but are just one of the tools we use to manage the Fund's overall risk exposure and to implement the aforementioned strategies. That said, country allocation (USD and local), security selection and currency management contributed to performance, while duration positioning had no impact on performance during the reporting period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  An overweight to local Brazilian debt contributed to performance. In particular, our longer-dated local Brazilian debt with inflation protection generated solid results, given the decline in local yields and due to solid demand.

•  Allocations to certain US dollar-denominated bonds were beneficial for results. Overweights to higher risk countries, like Venezuela, contributed to performance during the reporting period.

•  Overweights to several higher yielding countries were additive for performance. Overweights to countries, such as Belarus and Serbia, were rewarded as they outperformed the Index.

What didn't work

•  The Fund's underweights to certain local bonds detracted from results. The Fund's underweights to local bonds from Indonesia were modestly negative for results, as they performed well given robust demand from investors seeking to generate incremental yield.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 29, 2012 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.84% and 1.25%; Class C—2.34% and 1.75%; Class Y—1.59% 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. 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, do not exceed 1.25% for Class A shares, 1.75% for Class C shares and 1.00% 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, UBS Global AM (Americas)'s three year recoupment rights will survive.

5  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.

6  The Emerging Markets Debt Benchmark Index is an unmanaged index compiled by the Advisor, constructed as follows: from Fund's inception to current—50% J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global) and 50% J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index-Emerging Markets Global Diversified (GBI-EM Global Diversified). Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

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

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

UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, Class A shares of UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") returned 2.52% (Class A shares declined 2.14% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 2.65%. For comparison purposes, the BofA Merrill Lynch US Dollar 3-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index (the "Index") returned 0.23% 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 28; 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, largely due to sector allocation and security selection across spread sectors, such as investment grade and high yield credit, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and emerging markets debt.

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 derivatives, such as 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 manage the Fund's overall risk exposure and to implement the aforementioned strategies. That said, overall, the Fund's interest rate- and spread sector-related hedging strategies detracted from results. Currency positioning was also a negative for performance. In contrast, sector allocation was a positive contributor to results.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Allocations to several spread sectors (non-US Treasuries) were positive for results during the reporting period.

  – The Fund's allocations to both high yield corporate bonds and investment grade corporate bonds were rewarded. Allocations to securities in these sectors produced solid results, given overall strong demand from investors looking to generate incremental yield in the low interest rate environment. The performance of the Fund's long exposures more than offset the negative results generated by hedging strategies employed in both sectors.

  – A small allocation to CMBS, net of hedging positions, proved beneficial to performance. Much of this was driven by CMBS holdings that were lower in the capital structure.

  – The Fund's emerging markets debt exposure was additive for performance during the reporting period. Throughout much of the period, the Fund's overweight exposures (relative to the US) to Brazil, South Africa and Turkey contributed to performance.

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

UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund

•  Duration and yield curve positioning contributed to performance. We tactically adjusted the Fund's duration and yield curve positioning among countries during the period, which was a positive for results. (Duration measures the price sensitivity of a portfolio to interest rate changes.)

What didn't work

•  Overall, currency positioning was a negative for performance. The Fund's active currency decisions in several developed countries, including the euro and the Japanese yen, hurt performance.

•  Hedging strategies detracted from performance. The Fund benefited from duration and yield curve positioning. However, this was more than offset by other interest rate-related and volatility hedging strategies.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 29, 2012 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.51% and 1.04%; Class C—2.02% and 1.54%; Class Y—1.23% and 0.79%. 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 28, 2013, 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. 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, UBS Global AM (Americas)'s three year recoupment rights will survive.

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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

UBS Global Bond Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, Class A shares of UBS Global Bond Fund (the "Fund") returned 3.65% (Class A shares declined 1.03% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 3.71%. The Fund's benchmark, the Barclays Global Aggregate Index (the "Index"), returned 2.78% 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 46; 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 and outperformed its Index, primarily due to sector allocation, currency positioning and security selection.

The Fund used derivatives during the reporting period. These derivatives 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. That said, overall, the Fund's duration and yield curve positioning were modest detractors from performance. However, sector allocations, currency positioning and security selection contributed to performance.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Sector positioning was the largest contributor to performance.

  – The Fund's overweight to US investment grade financials was rewarded during the reporting period. Their spreads2 narrowed given strengthening fundamentals and overall strong demand from investors seeking to generate incremental yield in the low interest rate environment.

  – The Fund's allocation to European financials, including those from the UK, was also rewarded when improving fundamentals helped to support the sector. Additionally, the sector benefited as concerns regarding the European sovereign debt crisis receded given actions taken by the European Central Bank.

  – The Fund's exposure to European bank covered bonds with mortgage collateral boosted returns.

  – An overweight to US mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") was additive for performance given signs of improvement in the US housing market, as well as generally positive supply/demand technicals.

  – A position in US dollar-denominated structured credit positively contributed to performance as spreads contracted during the period. We sold the position during the reporting period.

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

2  "Spreads" refers to differences between the yields paid on US Treasury bonds and other types of debt, such as emerging market bonds.

UBS Global Bond Fund

•  Security selection of investment grade corporate bonds in the financials sector benefited performance. In particular, securities issued by US and European banks aided the Fund's performance given their strong results.

•  The Fund's selective exposure to high yield industrial bonds, such as an Italian telecommunication provider, had a positive impact on performance.

•  The Fund's currency exposures, overall, contributed to performance. The Fund's long exposures to the US dollar and the Norwegian krone, and an underweight position in the euro, were the most beneficial for results during the reporting period.

What didn't work

•  The Fund's duration and yield curve positioning strategies modestly detracted from results. We tactically adjusted the Fund's yield curve positioning throughout the reporting period given shifting economic data. Overall, this was a slight drag on results. (Duration is a measure of a portfolio's sensitivity to changes in interest rates.)

•  Positioning in the Great Britain pound was a slight drag on results.

•  An underweight to European peripheral government bonds detracted from performance during periods when their spreads narrowed.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 29, 2012 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—2.63% and 1.15%; Class C—3.10% and 1.65%; Class Y—2.38% and 0.90%. 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 28, 2013, do not exceed 1.15% for Class A shares, 1.65% for Class C shares and 0.90% for Class Y shares. Pursuant to the written agreement, the Advisor is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees it waives and expenses it reimburses for a period of three years following such fee waivers and expense reimbursements to the extent that such reimbursement of the Advisor by the Fund will not cause the Fund to exceed any applicable expense limit that is in place for the Fund. 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, UBS Global AM (Americas)'s three year recoupment rights will survive.

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 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. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

Portfolio footnotes

1  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are considered liquid, unless noted otherwise, and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At December 31, 2012, the value of these securities amounted to $965,581 or 8.63% of net assets.

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 December 31, 2012, the value of these securities amounted to $69,132 or 0.62% of net assets.

3  Variable or floating rate security—The interest rate shown is the current rate as of December 31, 2012 and changes periodically.

4  Perpetual bond security. The maturity date reflects the next call date.

5  On September 7, 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency placed the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Federal National Mortgage Association into conservatorship, and the US Treasury guaranteed the debt issued by those organizations.

6  Interest rate shown is the discount rate at date of purchase.

7  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 issuers' country. Only if inflation occurs will securities offer a higher real yield than a conventional security of the same maturity.

8  The table below details the Fund's investment in a fund advised by the same advisor as the Fund. The advisor does not earn a management fee from the affiliated UBS Relationship Fund.

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 a bankruptcy and/or restructuring event with respect to the referenced 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 (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.

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.

Explanation of expense disclosure

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

The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, July 1, 2012 to December 31, 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 July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012.

*  Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

1  UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund commenced operations on July 23, 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 161 divided by 365 (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 December 31, 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 184 divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

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

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 14 Funds available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies. The following four funds are covered in this report: UBS Core Plus Bond Fund, UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, and UBS Global Bond 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. 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 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. Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, are disclosed near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

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

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 and periodic internal audit reviews.

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 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 International Financial Reporting Standards ("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, swaptions 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 December 31, 2012 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of December 31, 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 period ended December 31, 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).

Disclosure of derivatives by underlying risk for each Fund as of and for the period ended December 31, 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 expenses are recorded on the ex-dividend date ("ex-date") except in the case of certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon after the ex-date as the respective Fund, using reasonable diligence, becomes aware of such dividends. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.

Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares (or the value of dividend


84



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 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.


85



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. 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.

Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty, respectively. Total return swaps are marked-to-market daily, and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Total return swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk, interest risk, credit risk and the risk that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments.

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


86



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 December 31, 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 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


87



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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. Dividends and distributions: It is the Funds' policy to distribute their respective net investment income monthly except UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund which will distribute its net investment income, if any, quarterly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are paid annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-distribution date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains and/or return of capital is determined in accordance with US federal income tax regulations, which may differ from 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.

L. 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


88



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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.

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

2. Investment advisory fees and other transactions with affiliates

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

The Funds may invest in certain affiliated investment companies also advised or managed by the Advisor. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2012 and for the period then ended have been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

Under normal conditions, the Funds invest cash collateral from securities lending activities into an affiliated private money market fund, UBS Private Money Market Fund LLC ("Private Money Market"), which operates in compliance with most of the substantive provisions of Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Private Money Market is managed by the Advisor and is offered as a cash management option only to mutual funds and certain other accounts managed by the Advisor. 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 December 31, 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 Asset Management (US) Inc. ("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 and Class C. The Plans govern payments made for the expenses incurred in the service and/or distribution of Class A and Class C. Annual fees under the Plans as a percentage of the average daily net assets of each representative class of each of the Funds are as follows:

5. Securities lending

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

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.

6. Purchases and sales of securities

For the period ended December 31, 2012, aggregate purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term investments and US Government and agency securities, were as follows:

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.

President's letter

February 15, 2013

Dear Shareholder,

Since I last wrote to you six months ago, some of the macroeconomic concerns, such as the US fiscal cliff, European sovereign debt crisis and other potential global worries, shaking investor confidence have largely abated. As a result, we are witnessing early signs that investors are looking to transition some of their assets from traditional fixed income and cash back into risk assets. However, concerns remain, and a large number of investors are waiting on the sidelines, either hesitant or unwilling to venture into uncertain and relatively more volatile markets.

While those investors who have contributed to record fixed income asset flows over the past few years have generally been compensated with positive performance, this seemingly soft-paved road they have been riding may eventually hit a rough patch—inevitably resulting in a letdown for those who have grown complacent in the benign fixed income market. Equally disappointed may be those investors sitting on the sidelines in cash, as they may find they were unable to achieve the level of returns required to fund their needs. Clearly, now more than ever, investors need to examine their portfolios. Given these circumstances, what may be an investor's best defense against the backdrop of a volatile—or any—market environment? The answer is a thoughtful plan anchored on diversification.

At UBS Global Asset Management, we remain committed to providing you with globally diversified, outcome-oriented solutions that we believe can help you navigate today's markets and help you meet your investment goals. Over the last few years, we have enhanced and refined our mutual fund lineup to better meet your needs for growth, while limiting volatility in the face of evolving markets. For example, in April 2012, we launched UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, which is designed to provide risk-managed income while focusing on minimizing capital risk in the current interest rate environment. UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund seeks to provide investors with a flexible strategy that relies less on favorable market conditions to generate an absolute return, and focuses more on loss limitation. UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, which has the flexibility to adjust its duration and the ability to short interest rate markets, can play an important complementary role in an investor's overall fixed income allocation.

We recognize that now, more than ever, investors can benefit from professional guidance as they review their portfolios and reallocate them with a forward-thinking view. In making this transition, the value of risk-managed solutions provided by well-resourced global managers cannot be overemphasized. I firmly believe that our over 30-year active asset allocation history combined with our diversified and continually evolving fund lineup can help investors build their portfolios to successfully meet their individual, long-term investment goals.

Sincerely,

Mark E. Carver
President
The UBS Funds

While the overall US economy continued to grow during the reporting period, the pace of the expansion was mixed and far from robust. Looking back, the Commerce Department reported 2.0% gross domestic product ("GDP") growth in the US for the first quarter of 2012, followed by growth of 1.3% in the second quarter, partially due to weaker consumer spending. It then hit a soft patch and only grew 1.3% in the second quarter, partially due to weaker consumer spending. After expanding 3.1% in the third quarter, GDP growth contracted 0.1%1 in the fourth quarter, representing the first negative reading since the second quarter of 2009.

The Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") took a number of actions during the reporting period, as it looked to meet its dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment. Throughout the reporting period, the Fed kept the federal funds rate (the federal funds rate, or "fed funds" rate, is the rate banks charge one another for funds they borrow on an overnight basis) at an extremely low level of between 0% and 0.25%. Prior to the beginning of the reporting period, 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 June meeting, the Fed extended Operation Twist until the end of 2012. In September, the Fed launched a third round of quantitative easing ("QE3"), which involved purchasing $40 billion of agency mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") on an open-ended basis each month. At its final meeting of the year, in December, the Fed said it would continue buying $40 billion a month of agency MBS, as well as purchase $45 billion a month of longer-term Treasuries. The Fed also said that it would keep the federal funds rate on hold "...as long as the unemployment rate remains above 6.5%," provided inflation remains well-contained.

Economic growth in countries outside the US also decelerated and, in some cases, fell back into recessions. In October 2012, the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") projected that global growth would decline from 3.8% in 2011, to 3.3% in 2012. From a regional perspective, the IMF anticipated that 2012 growth in the Eurozone would contract 0.4%. While growth in emerging market countries was expected to remain higher than in their developed country counterparts, the IMF projected that emerging markets growth would fall from 6.2%, in 2011 to 5.3% in 2012.

Global equities produce solid results

While the global equity market experienced periods of volatility, it ultimately generated strong results during the reporting period. A number of macro issues negatively impacted investor sentiment at times, including the European sovereign debt crisis, moderating global growth and uncertainties related to the US "fiscal cliff." However, in general, investor risk appetite returned fairly quickly as investors looked to boost their returns. Also supporting sentiment were actions taken by central banks to support their economies. The US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,2 rose during five of the six months during the reporting period and gained 5.95% for the six months ended December 31, 2012.

The markets in review

International developed and emerging markets equities also experienced periodic soft patches, but they produced strong results during the reporting period. Aggressive actions taken by the European Central Bank to support the eurozone and indications that China may avoid a "hard landing" for its economy were two factors boosting investor sentiment for foreign stocks. All told, international developed equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net),3 returned 13.95% during the six months ended December 31, 2012. Elsewhere, emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net),4 rose 13.75% over the same time period.

3  The MSCI EAFE Index (net) is an index of stocks 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 different 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 Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, Class A shares of UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund (previously UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund) (the "Fund") declined 0.95% (Class A shares declined 6.41% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares declined 0.74%. The Fund's benchmark, the Citigroup Three-Month US Treasury Bill Index (the "Index"), returned 0.05% 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 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.)

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 went into effect on September 5, 2012. Specifically:

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

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

•  The Fund's investment strategy changed 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.

The transition from the Fund's previous strategy to its new strategy occurred during the first two weeks of September 2012.

Overall, the Fund generated a negative return during the reporting period and lagged the Index. The Fund's underperformance was primarily driven by the negative return generated by the US fundamental sleeve of the portfolio in September 2012.

That said, in the time since we implemented changes to its investment strategy, the Fund has generated a positive absolute return and outperformed its benchmark. This was directly related to the Fund's ability to take on directional long and short exposures. Stock correlations also declined in the second half of the period, which helped us in our efforts to add value through stock selection.

During the first half of 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, another type of derivative instrument, to hedge its currency exposure. As a result of the strategy change, we closed all existing currency forwards positions on September 19, 2012.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  During the second half of the reporting period, the Fund's US equity long/short strategy outperformed its benchmark.

  – The Fund's investment strategy has changed from a market neutral to a multi-strategy approach that allows us to pursue net exposure to the equity markets. The Fund's expected net equity market exposure (the difference

between the long market value and short market value) will typically range from 10% to 50%. Using its new investment strategy, the Fund generated a positive absolute return and outperformed its benchmark during the second half of the reporting period.

  – The correlation among stocks decreased during the second half of the period, as investors appeared to have a renewed focus on company fundamentals. This was a positive development for the Fund and our bottom-up selection process. During this period, the Fund's stock selection was beneficial in seven of the 10 broad equity market sectors.

  – Stock selection was most successful in the consumer discretionary sector, largely due to two short positions that added value as their share prices declined.

  – Stock selection was also rewarded in the health care sector, given a variety of short and long positions that were additive for results.

  – In terms of the Fund's individual holdings, a long position in a rental car company was rewarded, as its share price moved sharply higher, supported by improving industry dynamics.

•  The event-driven sleeve modestly contributed to results during the first half of 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 during July 2012 in the Topix.

What didn't work

•  During the first half of the reporting period, the Fund's US fundamental sleeve was the largest detractor from performance. While stock selection was positive in the first half of the reporting period, led by health care and energy sectors, the directional market exposure during the second half of September was a large detractor for the Fund.

•  The European fundamental sleeve also detracted from performance during the first half of the period. Short positions in the health care and insurance sectors detracted from results as their shares increased in value, more than offsetting the positive impact from several long positions in those sectors.

•  During the second half of the period, stock selection in the financials sector was a modest detractor from results. A combination of long and short positions in the sector was slightly negative for performance.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 29, 2012 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—4.77% and 3.26%; Class C—5.43% and 4.01%; Class Y—4.26% and 3.01%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. 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", which are reflected in the annualized gross and net expense ratios above, 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, 2012 were 2.50% for Class A shares, 2.55% for Class C shares and 2.58% for Class Y shares. The actual "Acquired fund fees and expenses" for the Fund's fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 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, 2012 were 5.80% for Class A shares, 6.51% for Class C shares and 5.37% 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, 2012 were 4.29% for Class A shares, 5.08% for Class C shares and 4.12% for Class Y shares. 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, 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, UBS Global AM (Americas)'s three year recoupment rights will survive.

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

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

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 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 Citigroup Three-Month US Treasury Bill Index is an unmanaged index reflecting monthly return equivalents of yield averages that are not marked to the market and an average of the last three 3-month T-bill month-end rates. 3-month T-bills are the short-term debt obligations of the US government. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

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

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

UBS International Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, Class A shares of UBS International Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned 14.11% (Class A shares returned 7.88% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 14.42%. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI World Free ex USA Index (net) (the "Index"), returned 13.65% 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 15; 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 strong absolute return and outperformed its benchmark during the reporting period, primarily due to stock selection.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Overall, individual stock selection was a positive for performance during the reporting period.

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

  – Turk Hava Yollari is Turkey's leading airline. Its share price moved higher during the reporting period, as it continued to gain market share. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

  – Carrefour is the largest retailer in France and the second largest chain store retailer in the world. After a weak start at the beginning of 2012, the company's shares rose sharply during the reporting period. Carrefour has been under new leadership since early 2012, has been recovering its competitiveness in its domestic market and selling non-core assets in Asia and Latin America. Furthermore, Carrefour has successfully paid down debt and experienced solid same-store sales.

  – Barclays Plc. is a British multinational banking and financial services company headquartered in London. During the first half of 2012, Barclays' shares were trading at depressed levels given the repercussions from the ongoing European sovereign debt crisis and low expectations for the banking sector as a whole. However, Barclays' shares sharply rallied during the reporting period, as investor sentiment improved given the company's strengthening balance sheet. In addition, the overhang from the company's involvement in the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)—the average interest rate at which large international banks can borrow from each other—scandal was removed as Barclays agreed to a $450 million settlement.

•  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, an overweight to consumer discretionary, along with underweights to utilities and health care, were beneficial to the Fund's relative performance.

What didn't work

•  Several individual stocks had a negative impact on performance.

  – Sankyo Co., a Japanese game machine company, experienced delays in introducing its new product line. In addition, sentiment regarding the company soured as its existing products lost market share during the reporting period.

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


13



UBS International Equity Fund

  – Boart Longyear is an Australian company that provides drilling services to the mining industry. Its shares fell sharply during the reporting period as capital expenditure budgets from major mining companies were reduced. These reductions resulted from a slowdown in the global economy and uncertainty over mining projects. We sold out of our position in Boart Longyear in August due to deteriorating fundamentals.

  – Petrominerales Ltd., a Latin America-based oil and gas exploration and production company, generated disappointing performance and detracted from the Fund's results during the reporting period. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

  – Vodafone Group is a British multinational telecommunications company headquartered in London. Its shares declined during the reporting period as it experienced both increased pricing pressures and a lack of growth in its end markets. In addition, the anticipated benefits from Vodafone's part ownership in Verizon Wireless have not met expectations.

•  Sector allocations in several areas detracted from results. Overweights to information technology, financials and telecommunication services were negative for the Fund's relative performance during the reporting period.

Portfolio highlights

•  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 Fund's position in the company was rewarded as Mellanox Technologies posted results that exceeded analysts' expectations. In addition, the company raised its earnings estimates, which further increased its share price. We sold out of our position in Mellanox Technologies in October, as the company failed to meet both sales and earnings expectations.

•  Turkish airline Turk Hava Yollari continued to successfully add international routes and gain international market share, as it converts Istanbul into a global transfer hub. Based largely on Turk Hava Yollari's increased success, Istanbul airport experienced a 20% increase in passengers in 2012. In comparison, other European global transfer hubs, such as London's Heathrow Airport and Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, experienced only slight increases in passenger volume during the year.

•  The Fund's position in Petrominerales, an oil and gas exploration and production company, was not rewarded as the company's shares fell sharply during the reporting period. In particular, Petrominerales was negatively impacted by poor drilling results at its properties in Columbia and Peru.

•  Imperial Tobacco is a well-managed, global tobacco products manufacturer that has leading positions in key tobacco profit pools, such as the UK, Germany, Spain and Russia. While it primarily competes in the value and mid-price ranges, it has been growing Davidoff as a global premium brand. After a strong start to 2012, the company underperformed as investors became concerned about higher tobacco excise taxes in Europe. In addition, anti-tobacco regulations limited advertising and promotions in Europe and Russia—two important markets for the company.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 29, 2012 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—2.28% and 1.25%; Class C—3.06% and 2.00%; Class Y—2.06% 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. Dividends are reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, using tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. Had US tax rates been applied, the performance of the index would be different. The index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

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

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

UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund (the "Fund") returned 7.92% (Class A shares returned 2.03% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 7.98%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), returned 6.44% 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 26; 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 primarily due to stock selection decisions.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Several of the Fund's stock positions were positive for relative performance.

  – Time Warner was the largest contributor to results during the period. The company was one of the largest active overweights in the Fund. Time Warner has executed well and achieved good earnings growth, which moved the share price higher for the six months. Consumer and advertising spending have increased, driving revenue for media companies in general, and for Time Warner in particular.

  – Citigroup positively contributed to Fund returns. The company performed well following an impressive capital build during the past year. In December 2012, Citigroup announced it would cut 11,000 jobs—about 4% of its worldwide staff—and, as a result, expects to save as much as $1.1 billion per year in expenses. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – The Fund's position in Hertz Global Holdings was successful during the six-month period. The company ended 2012 with strong stock performance after the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group. Dollar Thrifty is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz. During the fourth quarter of 2012, Hertz partnered with Liberty Tire Recycling, the largest tire recycling company in North America, to launch the first nationwide tire recycling program in the US car rental industry. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Gilead Sciences was a top contributor within the health care sector. The research-based biopharmaceutical company primarily focuses on HIV and hepatitis B and C. Gilead had a strong year in 2012, receiving two major FDA approvals for its drugs. Truvada is the first agent to be approved for HIV prevention in uninfected adults and Stribild is a once-daily regiment for HIV-1 infection. Gilead also reported positive results in studies of its 12-week therapy course for the treatment of hepatitis C.

  – Symantec, one of the leading players in storage software, anti-virus software, online authentication software and online verification certificates, was a strong contributor to performance during the period. In July 2012, the company's CEO was replaced by the chairman, and the price of Symantec stock soared higher. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Several industry weightings modestly contributed to relative returns. The Fund was overweight to industrial stocks and underweight to information technology stocks. The industry weightings were based on several stock-specific positions that were rewarded during the six months, including a successful short to Intel. We covered our short position in Intel, in October, as it moved towards fair value and we found more compelling opportunities.

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


23



UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund

What didn't work

•  Several stock positions were negative for performance during the six months.

  – ServiceSource International was the largest detractor in the Fund. The company has a unique business model that seeks to increase subscription renewal rates for technology service providers. Its shares sold off after ServiceSource issued fourth quarter 2012 guidance in September and 2013 guidance in December that were below analysts' estimates. We took advantage of the price weakness and increased our position in ServiceSource International, as we believe this is a short-term issue and the longer-term business model is strong.

  – Skyworks Solutions, a wireless semiconductor company, made a negative contribution to Fund returns. The company is a supplier to Apple and traded down along with Apple after the iPhone 5 was released in China. Consumers responded with less enthusiasm than expected, partly due to increased competition from Google, Microsoft and Amazon in China. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  The Fund's position in Norfolk Southern hindered relative performance. The stock declined after Norfolk Southern announced disappointing quarterly profits due to lower rail volumes. Concerns about reduced demand for coal also led to weak performance. We believe the market is overestimating the impact of coal on Norfolk Southern, as coal transportation makes up 30% of the railroad's business. We have confidence in the company's other revenue sources, and we continue to hold the stock. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  A short position in Bank of America was negative for performance. The company's stock was up sharply in 2012, benefiting from the tailwinds that are helping much of the financial sector. Additionally, the bank addressed concerns about its mortgage business to the satisfaction of the market.

Portfolio highlights

•  Citigroup continues to rationalize its balance sheet, wind down Citi Holdings, engineer expense reductions, improve liquidity and capital metrics and take share in its core businesses. The company transferred $45 billion of retail partner cards back to Citicorp, and could see more improvement when it sells part of its joint venture with Morgan Stanley. Additionally, Citigroup has been aggressively selling minority stakes in several banks including HDFC, Pudong Bank and Akbank, which should provide significant capital relief on a Basel III basis. We expect to see above-peer earnings growth over the next several years as a result of solid revenue growth, improving expense discipline and better credit quality.

•  Hertz Global Holdings is a worldwide airport general use car rental brand operating from approximately 8,500 locations in 146 countries. We believe the market underappreciates two key factors in the valuation of Hertz. First, the auto rental industry has undergone significant changes in the past decade which should allow it to operate more efficiently and rationally, Second, Hertz has a solid management team that was put into place by private equity. We believe the team is managing Hertz's business to optimize the new industry dynamics.

•  Symantec is one of the leading players in storage software, anti-virus software, online authentication software and online verification certificates. Rumors have been circulating that the company may split off its storage business from the security business, with IBM and Oracle being discussed as potential buyers. We believe Symantec is well positioned for future growth, and we continue to hold our position.


24



UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund

•  Skyworks Solutions 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 providers continue to perform well and their performances 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.

•  Norfolk Southern engages in the rail transportation of raw materials, intermediate products and finished goods primarily in the United States. Commodity trends, slower growth in Europe and Asia, and a tepid recovery in the US have caused rail volumes to slow. We believe that trends in US economic data are slowly improving, which should be positive for Norfolk Southern for the long term.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the January 28, 2013 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—3.22% and 2.22%; Class C—4.05% and 2.97%; Class Y—2.86% and 1.94%. 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 28, 2014, 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, UBS Global AM (Americas)'s three year recoupment rights will survive.

1  Inception date of all shares of UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund and the index is September 26, 2006.

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

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 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 Russell 1000 Index measures the performance of the large-cap segment of the US equity universe. It is a subset of the Russell 3000 Index and includes approximately 1,000 of the largest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell 1000 represents approximately 92% of the US market. The Russell 1000 Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the large-cap segment and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

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

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

UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund (the "Fund") returned 8.61% (Class A shares returned 2.59% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 8.70%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), returned 6.44% 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 37; 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 primarily due to stock selection decisions.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  The Fund's overweight to financial stocks, though a non-consensus view, made a strong contribution to relative returns. Our research has identified several well-capitalized companies with competitive funding advantages, winning franchises and solid returns on equity. Many banks have reduced risk and increased capital. As the US housing market improves, the stronger backdrop for home prices should increase lending. The sector appears attractive from a price-to-tangible-book basis. Within financials, the Fund is overweight to global diversified financial firms and underweight to insurance and regional banks.

  – Morgan Stanley was a top contributor during the six months. Financial stocks outperformed in December as the market became increasingly confident that a fiscal cliff crisis would be averted and the Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review process would likely result in increased capital return for the industry. Morgan Stanley's stock disproportionately rose as the market began to believe the company would be able to earn returns on equity closer to their cost of capital. In addition, Morgan Stanley began risk weighted asset optimization plans to improve profitability and balance sheet efficiency. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Several of the Fund's stock positions were positive for relative performance.

  – Steel Dynamics, a steel producer and metals recycler in the US, was a top contributor during the period. Its positive performance can be attributed to improved investor sentiment regarding macroeconomic conditions in China, coupled with an inflection in steel prices domestically. We locked in profits and sold out of the position in December.

  – Hertz Global Holdings made a positive contribution to Fund returns. The company ended 2012 with strong stock performance after the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group. Dollar Thrifty is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz. During the fourth quarter of 2012, Hertz partnered with Liberty Tire Recycling, the largest tire recycling company in North America, to launch the first nationwide tire recycling program in the US car rental industry. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Time Warner was a major contributor to relative returns during the period. The company has executed well and achieved good earnings growth, increasing its share price. Additionally, Time Warner has particularly benefited from an increase in consumer and advertising spending, which has driven revenue for media companies in general.

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

UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

  – Shares of Lululemon Athletica were up during the six months. Lululemon offers a comprehensive line of yoga-inspired athletic apparel and accessories for pursuits such as yoga, running and general fitness. The company's products are designed to offer performance, fit and comfort, while incorporating both function and style. The company continues to grow at above-industry rates and broaden its customer base across geographies and demographics.

•  The Fund was underweight to the consumer staples sector, which was positive for performance. Our valuation research indicates that this defensive sector is unattractively valued. Investors fled to these names during periods of market volatility, driving the prices higher. However, as markets recovered during the second half of 2012, we saw signs that investors were placing a new focus on relative valuations. Consumer staples stocks lagged the broader market, and our underweight position was rewarded.

What didn't work

•  An overweight to the information technology sector detracted from relative performance. The industry positioning was based on several stock-specific overweights that were not rewarded during the six months.

  – Skyworks Solutions, a wireless semiconductor company, was the largest detractor in the Fund. The company is a supplier to Apple, and traded down, along with Apple, after the iPhone 5 was released in China. Consumers responded with less enthusiasm than expected, due in part to increased competition from Google, Microsoft and Amazon in China. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – ServiceSource International was a negative contributor to Fund returns. The company has a unique business model that seeks to increase subscription renewal rates for technology service providers. Its shares sold off after ServiceSource issued fourth quarter 2012 guidance in September and 2013 guidance in December that were below analysts' estimates. We took advantage of the price weakness and increased our position in the name as we believe this is a short-term issue and the company has a strong longer-term business model.

•  The Fund's position in American Capital Agency, a real estate investment trust, hindered relative performance. The stock was punished along with other defensive names as investors favored higher-growth stocks during the six months. American Capital tends to outperform when yield is in high demand during periods of market volatility. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

Portfolio highlights

•  We believe Morgan Stanley is well-positioned to leverage its core Global Wealth Management (GWM), Institutional Securities and Asset Management businesses into earnings growth and profitability metrics that are higher than average within the financial services industry. The company maintains strong global positions within the high-margin equity capital markets, M&A advisory and asset management businesses and is gaining share in the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation and debt capital markets. As management reallocates capital and resources to more client-centric, less capital-intensive businesses over time, we expect earnings volatility to decline and return on capital to improve.

•  Hertz Global Holdings is a worldwide airport general use car rental brand operating from approximately 8,500 locations in 146 countries. We believe the market underappreciates two key factors in the valuation of Hertz.


35



UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

First, the auto rental industry has undergone significant changes in the past decade which should allow it to operate more efficiently and rationally, Second, Hertz has a solid management team that was put into place by private equity. We believe the team is managing Hertz's business to optimize the new industry dynamics.

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

•  American Capital Agency, a real estate investment trust, invests in residential mortgage pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations on a leveraged basis. These investments consist of securities for which the principal and interest payments are guaranteed by US government-sponsored entities such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and 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 in the name and an opportunity for capital appreciation. As American Capital demonstrates repayment speeds well below industry averages, modest leverage, and attractive interest rate spreads, we believe the company will be able to invest at returns well above its cost of capital for the foreseeable future.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 29, 2012 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.90% and 1.21%; Class C—2.68% and 1.96%; Class Y—1.74% 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 28, 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. 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, UBS Global AM (Americas)'s three year recoupment rights will survive.

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

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

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

UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned 6.85% (Class A shares returned 0.97% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 7.00%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), returned 6.44% 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 45; 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 primarily due to stock selection decisions.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  The Fund's overweight to financial stocks, though a non-consensus view, made a strong contribution to relative returns. Our research identified several well-capitalized companies with competitive funding advantages, winning franchises and solid returns on equity. Many banks have reduced risk and increased capital. As the US housing market improves, the stronger backdrop for home prices should increase lending. The sector appears attractive from a price-to-tangible-book basis. Within financials, the Fund is overweight to global diversified financial firms and is underweight to insurance and regional banks.

  – Citigroup positively contributed to Fund returns. The company performed well following an impressive capital build during the past year. In December 2012, Citigroup announced it would cut 11,000 jobs—about 4% of its worldwide staff—and, as a result, expects to save as much as $1.1 billion per year in expenses. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Morgan Stanley was another top contributor during the six months. Financial stocks outperformed in December as the market became increasingly confident that a fiscal cliff crisis would be averted and that the Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review process would likely result in increased capital return for the industry. Morgan Stanley disproportionately rose as the market began to believe that the company would be able to earn returns on equity closer to their cost of capital. In addition, Morgan Stanley began risk-weighted assets optimization plans to improve profitability and balance sheet efficiency. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Several of the Fund's stock positions were positive for relative performance.

  – Shares of MetroPCS Communications were up during the six months. The US wireless carrier is in the process of rolling out a 4G network that will allow it to enhance its coverage and competitiveness. During the period, MetroPCS announced that it would merge with T-Mobile USA, driving up the stock price.

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


42



UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

  – Hertz Global Holdings made a positive contribution to Fund returns. The company ended 2012 with strong stock performance after the acquisition of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group. Dollar Thrifty is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Hertz. During the fourth quarter of 2012, Hertz partnered with Liberty Tire Recycling, the largest tire recycling company in North America, to launch the first nationwide tire recycling program in the US car rental industry. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Within health care, Gilead Sciences was a top contributor to Fund performance. The research-based biopharmaceutical company primarily focuses on HIV and hepatitis B and C. Gilead had a strong year in 2012, receiving two major FDA approvals for its drugs. Truvada is the first agent to be approved for HIV prevention in uninfected adults and Stribild is a once-daily regiment for HIV-1 infection. Gilead also reported positive results in studies of its 12-week course of therapy for the treatment of hepatitis C.

•  The Fund's underweight to the consumer staples sector was positive for performance. Our valuation research indicates that this defensive sector is unattractively valued. Investors had fled to these names during periods of market volatility, driving the prices higher. However, as markets recovered during the second half of 2012, we saw signs that investors were placing a new focus on relative valuations. Consumer staples stocks lagged the broader market, and our underweight position was rewarded.

What didn't work

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

  – ServiceSource International was the largest detractor in the Fund. The company has a unique business model that seeks to increase subscription renewal rates for technology service providers. Its shares sold off after ServiceSource issued fourth quarter 2012 guidance in September and 2013 guidance in December, that were below analysts' estimates. We took advantage of the price weakness and increased our position in ServiceSource International, as we believe this is a short-term issue and the longer-term business model is strong.

  – The Fund's position in Apple detracted during the reporting period. Toward the end of 2012, concerns about the new iPhone 5 caused a decline in Apple's share price. The market feared that sales of the new model were lagging behind previous iPhone launches. The Apple Maps application received negative press about its performance relative to competitor Google Maps and there was concern about whether the iPad Mini would cannibalize sales of the iPad. We believe that Apple will continue to lead the market due to its constant innovation and ability to command premium prices for its products. Our conviction in Apple remains strong, and we continue to hold the stock.

  – Skyworks Solutions, a wireless semiconductor company, made a negative contribution to Fund returns. The company is a supplier to Apple and traded down along with Apple after the iPhone 5 was released in China. Consumers responded with less enthusiasm than expected, partly due to increased competition from Google, Microsoft and Amazon in China. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – American Capital Agency, a real estate investment trust, hindered relative performance. The stock was punished along with other defensive names as investors favored higher-growth stocks during the six months. American Capital tends to outperform when yield is in high demand during periods of market volatility. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

Portfolio highlights

•  Citigroup continues to rationalize its balance sheet, wind down Citi Holdings, engineer expense reductions, improve liquidity and capital metrics and take share in its core businesses. The company transferred $45 billion of retail partner cards back to Citicorp, and could see more improvement when it sells part of its joint venture with Morgan Stanley. Additionally, Citigroup has been aggressively selling minority stakes in several banks including HDFC, Pudong Bank and Akbank, which should provide significant capital relief on a Basel III basis. We expect to see above-peer earnings growth over the next several years as a result of solid revenue growth, improving expense discipline and better credit quality.

•  We believe Morgan Stanley is well-positioned to leverage its core Global Wealth Management (GWM), Institutional Securities and Asset Management businesses into earnings growth and profitability metrics that are higher than average within the financial services industry. The company maintains strong global positions within the high-margin equity capital markets, M&A advisory and asset management businesses and is gaining share in the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation and debt capital markets. As management reallocates capital and resources to more client-centric, less capital-intensive businesses over time, we expect earnings volatility to decline and return on capital to improve.

•  Hertz Global Holdings is a worldwide airport general use car rental brand operating from approximately 8,500 locations in 146 countries. We believe the market underappreciates two key factors in the valuation of Hertz. First, the auto rental industry has undergone significant changes in the past decade which should allow it to operate more efficiently and rationally, Second, Hertz has a solid management team that was put into place by private equity. We believe the team is managing Hertz's business to optimize the new industry dynamics.

•  American Capital Agency, a real estate investment trust, invests in residential mortgage pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations on a leveraged basis. These investments consist of securities for which the principal and interest payments are guaranteed by US government-sponsored entities such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and 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 in the name and an opportunity for capital appreciation. As American Capital demonstrates repayment speeds well below industry averages, modest leverage, and attractive interest rate spreads, we believe the company will be able to invest at returns well above its cost of capital for the foreseeable future.

•  Skyworks Solutions 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 providers continue to perform well and their performances 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.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 29, 2012 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.24% and 1.20%; Class C—2.02% and 1.95%; Class Y—0.97% and 0.95%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements/recoupments, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Trust, with respect to the Fund, and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc., the Fund's investment advisor ("UBS Global AM (Americas)" or the "Advisor"), have entered into a written agreement pursuant to which the Advisor has agreed to waive a portion of its management fees and/or to reimburse expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses), through the period ending October 28, 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. 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, UBS Global AM (Americas)'s three year recoupment rights will survive.

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

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

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

UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund") returned 3.83% (Class A shares declined 1.87% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 3.97%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the "Index"), returned 5.31% 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 underperformed the Index primarily due to stock selection.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector was the main driver of relative returns.

  – Restoration Hardware, a home furnishings retailer, saw its shares rise following a successful public offering in November 2012. The company is a multi-channel retailer that is successfully shifting its real estate from legacy mall-based locations to high profile full-line design galleries.

  – Ryland Group, Inc., a developer and home builder, benefited from an improving housing market and an increase in new home building in 2012.

  – Shares of apparel company PVH Corp. traded higher during the six-month period. The company designs and manufactures apparel for men, women and children, and owns the Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and Kenneth Cole brands, among others. PVH acquired a sportswear manufacturer in 2012 whose brands include Speedo. We believe this purchase should be highly accretive to the company's growth strategy.

•  Several stock positions within the materials sector were positive for performance during the reporting period.

  – Rock-Tenn Co. was a major positive contributor to Fund returns during the six months. The paperboard manufacturer grew revenues by maintaining lower costs and increasing its prices. In addition, Rock-Tenn has benefited from industry consolidation in recent years. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Shares of Gulfport Energy Corp., an independent oil and gas exploration and production company, rose during the period, after the company reported strong initial production rates in its Utica shale acreage. A rebound in commodity crude oil prices was also beneficial to the company. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Other successful holdings included Eloqua, Inc. The company develops and markets on-demand revenue performance management software. Shares rose after Oracle Corp. agreed to buy Eloqua for $871 million, or $23.50 per share.

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

UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

What didn't work

•  Stock selection in the industrials sector detracted from relative performance during the six months.

  – Shares of Hub Group, Inc., a leading provider of intermodal, truck brokerage and logistics services, declined when the company reported sales and earnings that were below expectations. Company management continued to give conservative guidance, based in part on softer freight demand that adversely impacted pricing and margins. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Chart Industries, Inc. underperformed as the stock retreated from its former highs during the reporting period. The company manufactures cryogenic equipment used to produce, distribute and store liquefied natural gas (LNG). We believe that Chart Industries will benefit from increased natural gas production and eventual exporting by the US. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – The stock price of Spirit Airlines, Inc. traded down after the announcement that the low-fare carrier's third-quarter 2012 revenues would be lower than expected. Partially due to Hurricane Isaac, Spirit projected a 2.5% to 4.5% decline in total revenue per available seat mile.

•  Several of the Fund's health care holdings underperformed during the six months.

  – The market sold off Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a specialty pharmaceutical company, based on concerns about generic competition for one of the company's marquee drugs used to treat central nervous system disorders.

  – Cepheid, Inc., a molecular diagnostics company, saw its shares decline after the company lowered its second-half 2012 outlook based on fears that macro uncertainties would impact customer behavior for the remainder of the year.

•  Several sector weightings hindered relative returns during the reporting period. The Fund was underweight to industrials and financials, both of which outperformed the broader market during the six months. Industrials rose based on increasing investor optimism about a rebound in China's economic growth, and financials traded higher after concerns about the Eurozone crisis were assuaged by European Central Bank actions.

Portfolio highlights

•  Rock-Tenn Co. manufactures containerboard, recycled paperboard, bleached paperboard, packaging products and merchandising displays. It operates within three segments: corrugated packaging, consumer packaging, and recycling and waste solutions. Company management has been successful at integrating acquisitions and cutting costs. Margins have benefited from plant closures and pricing discipline. Management has an excellent track record with acquisitions. We believe there is a sizeable potential accretion of the company's recent acquisition of containerboard manufacturer Smurfit-Stone.


51



UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

•  Gulfport Energy Corp. is an independent energy exploration and production company primarily focused on drilling for oil in North America. The company's legacy area of operations in southern Louisiana is complemented by its emerging oil plays in the Utica, Permian basin, Canadian oil sands and Niobrara. The Utica in Ohio is one of the newest and most exciting unconventional shale plays in North America as the company has amassed an acreage position of over 60,000 net acres in the Utica, and plans to drill 20 gross wells in the play this year. The company also has an equity interest in the Grizzly Canadian Oil sands project, which is expected to begin production in 2013. Gulfport Energy has monetized a portion of its Permian basin assets through the initial public offering (IPO) of Diamondback Energy earlier in 2012.

•  Hub Group, Inc. is a leading provider of intermodal, truck brokerage and logistics services. Despite the overall weak freight market, the company's asset-light business model should allow it to flex capacity in accordance with demand. We believe the company is well-positioned to continue delivering solid returns and increase its margins as it grows its higher-margin truck brokerage and logistics businesses.

•  Chart Industries, Inc. is a manufacturer of cryogenic equipment used to produce, distribute and store liquefied natural gas (LNG). We believe that increasing global demand for LNG will help drive results for the company. Order momentum should continue to be positive as large scale LNG projects proceed due to low natural gas prices. Backlog is growing and Chart is currently increasing capacity to keep up with this increased demand.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 29, 2012 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.58% and 1.41%; Class C—2.36% and 2.16%; Class Y—1.16% 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 28, 2013, 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. 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, UBS Global AM (Americas)'s three year recoupment rights will survive.

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

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

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

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

The UBS Funds

December 31, 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, July 1, 2012 to December 31, 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 July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012.

Class C maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Class Y has no contingent deferred sales charge.

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

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

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

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

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

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

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 14 Funds available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies. The following six funds are covered in this report: UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund (formerly, UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund), UBS International Equity 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 (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. 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 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


86



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 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.

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


87



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 and periodic internal audit reviews.

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 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 International Financial Reporting Standards ("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.


88



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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. 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 December 31, 2012 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of December 31, 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 period ended December 31, 2012.

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 basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.


89



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 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


90



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

of the underlying securities. To the extent that market prices move in an unexpected direction, there is a risk that a Fund will not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contract or may realize a loss.

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

G. Short sales: UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund and UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth 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 Equity Long-Short 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 period ended December 31, 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

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

companies may not be well-known to the investing public, may not have institutional ownership and may have only cyclical, static or moderated growth prospects.

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

J. Commission recapture program: The Funds participate in a brokerage commission recapture program. The Funds have established commission recapture arrangements with certain participating brokers or dealers. If a Fund's investment manager chooses to execute a transaction through a participating broker subject to best price and execution, the broker will rebate a portion of the commission back to the Fund. Any collateral benefit received through participation in the commission recapture program is directed exclusively to the Fund. For the period ended December 31, 2012, the following Fund recorded recapture commissions which are reflected on the Statement of operations within the net realized gains (losses) on investments in unaffiliated issuers:

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.

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.

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 U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund and UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund loaned securities to certain qualified broker dealers, with the Funds' custodian acting as the Funds' lending agent. Cash collateral received is invested in Private Money Market, which is included in the Fund's Portfolio of investments.

Accordingly, no federal income tax provision was required.

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 borrowing under the agreement for the period ended December 31, 2012, were as follows:

President's letter

February 15, 2013

Dear Shareholder,

Since I last wrote to you six months ago, some of the macroeconomic concerns, such as the US fiscal cliff, European sovereign debt crisis and other potential global worries, shaking investor confidence have largely abated. As a result, we are witnessing early signs that investors are looking to transition some of their assets from traditional fixed income and cash back into risk assets. However, concerns remain, and a large number of investors are waiting on the sidelines, either hesitant or unwilling to venture into uncertain and relatively more volatile markets.

While those investors who have contributed to record fixed income asset flows over the past few years have generally been compensated with positive performance, this seemingly soft-paved road they have been riding may eventually hit a rough patch—inevitably resulting in a letdown for those who have grown complacent in the benign fixed income market. Equally disappointed may be those investors sitting on the sidelines in cash, as they may find they were unable to achieve the level of returns required to fund their future needs. Clearly, now more than ever, investors need to examine their portfolios. Given these circumstances, what may be an investor's best defense against the backdrop of a volatile—or any—market environment? The answer is a thoughtful plan anchored on diversification.

At UBS Global Asset Management, we remain committed to providing you with globally diversified, outcome-oriented solutions that we believe can help you navigate today's markets and help you meet your investment goals. Over the last few years, we have enhanced and refined our mutual fund lineup to better meet your needs for growth, while limiting volatility in the face of evolving markets. For example, in April 2012, we launched UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, which is designed to provide risk-managed income while focusing on minimizing capital risk in the current interest rate environment. UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund seeks to provide investors with a flexible strategy that relies less on favorable market conditions to generate an absolute return, and focuses more on loss limitation. UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, which has the flexibility to adjust its duration and the ability to short interest rate markets, can play an important complementary role in an investor's overall fixed income allocation.

We recognize that now, more than ever, investors can benefit from professional guidance as they review their portfolios and reallocate them with a forward-thinking view. In making this transition, the value of risk-managed solutions provided by well-resourced global managers cannot be overemphasized. I firmly believe that our over 30-year active asset allocation history combined with our diversified and continually evolving fund lineup can help investors build their portfolios to successfully meet their individual, long-term investment goals.

Sincerely,

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

The markets in review

Global economic growth decelerates

While the overall US economy continued to grow during the reporting period, the pace of the expansion was mixed and far from robust. Looking back, the Commerce Department reported 2.0% gross domestic product ("GDP") growth in the US for the first quarter of 2012, followed by growth of 1.3% in the second quarter, partially due to weaker consumer spending. After expanding 3.1% in the third quarter, GDP growth contracted 0.1%1 in the fourth quarter, representing the first negative reading since the second quarter of 2009.

The Federal Reserve Board ("Fed") took a number of actions during the reporting period, as it looked to meet its dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment. Throughout the reporting period, the Fed kept the federal funds rate (the federal funds rate, or "fed funds" rate, is the rate banks charge one another for funds they borrow on an overnight basis) at an extremely low level of between 0% and 0.25%. Prior to the beginning of the reporting period, 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 June meeting, the Fed extended Operation Twist until the end of 2012. In September, the Fed launched a third round of quantitative easing ("QE3"), which involved purchasing $40 billion of agency mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") on an open-ended basis each month. At its final meeting of the year, in December, the Fed said it would continue buying $40 billion a month of agency MBS, as well as purchase $45 billion a month of longer-term Treasuries. The Fed also said that it would keep the federal funds rate on hold "...as long as the unemployment rate remains above 6.5%," provided inflation remains well-contained.

Economic growth in countries outside the US also decelerated and, in some cases, fell back into recessions. In October 2012, the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") projected that global growth would decline from 3.8% in 2011, to 3.3% in 2012. From a regional perspective, the IMF anticipated that 2012 growth in the Eurozone would contract 0.4%. While growth in emerging market countries was expected to remain higher than in their developed country counterparts, the IMF projected that emerging market growth would fall from 6.2% in 2011 to 5.3% in 2012.

Global equities produce solid results

While the global equity market experienced periods of volatility, it ultimately generated strong results during the reporting period. A number of macro issues negatively impacted investor sentiment at times, including the European sovereign debt crisis, moderating global growth and uncertainties related to the US "fiscal cliff." However, investor risk appetite generally returned fairly quickly as investors looked to boost their returns. Also supporting sentiment were actions taken by central banks to support their economies. The US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,2 rose during five of the six months during the reporting period and gained 5.95% for the six months ended December 31, 2012.

The markets in review

International developed and emerging markets equities also experienced periodic soft patches, but they produced strong results during the reporting period. Aggressive actions taken by the European Central Bank to support the eurozone and indications that China may avoid a "hard landing" for its economy were two factors boosting investor sentiment for foreign stocks. All told, international developed equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net),3 returned 13.95% during the six months ended December 31, 2012. Elsewhere, emerging markets equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net),4 returned 13.75% over the same time period.

Risk is rewarded in the fixed income market

There were several macro-induced flights to quality in the global fixed income markets during the reporting period. However, they proved to be only temporary setbacks and the US taxable spread sectors (non-US Treasury fixed income securities) generally outperformed equal duration Treasuries during the reporting period. With the Fed keeping interest rates at a historically low range, investors were drawn to lower quality/higher yielding fixed income securities for much of the period. Against this backdrop, high yield bonds and emerging markets debt generated strong returns. All told, the overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Index,5 returned 1.80% during the six months ended December 31, 2012. Looking closer at lower-rated fixed income securities, the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index6 returned 7.87% during the reporting period. Emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),7 returned 10.32% during the six month period.

3  The MSCI EAFE Index (net) is an index of stocks 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 different 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.

5  The Barclays US Aggregate Index is an unmanaged broad based index designed to measure the US-dollar-denominated, investment-grade, taxable bond market. The index includes bonds from the Treasury, government-related, corporate, mortgage-backed, asset-backed and commercial mortgage-backed sectors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

6  The BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index is an unmanaged index of US dollar denominated below investment grade corporate debt, currently in a coupon paying period, that is publicly issued in the US domestic market with a term to maturity of at least one year. The index is market weighted, so that larger bond issuers have a great 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.

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

UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, Class A shares of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund (the "Fund") returned 8.25% (Class A shares returned 2.30% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 8.35%. For comparison purposes, the BofA Merrill Lynch US Treasury 1-5 Year Index returned 0.51% during the same time period, the MSCI World Free Index (net) returned 9.36% and the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.05%. (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. Performance was primarily due 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. Certain interest rate derivatives were utilized to manage the Fund's duration and yield curve exposure, while credit default swaps were used to implement specific credit-related investment strategies. In relation to our currency strategy, derivatives had a direct positive impact on Fund performance. Derivatives were just one tool, among others, that we used to implement our market allocation strategy. Having said this, overall, as mentioned above, our market allocation strategy contributed to Fund performance during the period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Currency strategies, overall, were positive for performance.

  – Our long position in a basket of Asian currencies (the Malaysian ringgit, South Korean won and Taiwan dollar) was beneficial for performance as these currencies generally appreciated versus the US dollar.

  – A long Mexican peso added to performance as the currency strengthened against the US dollar.

  – Long positions in the euro and Polish zloty were both rewarded, as fears of the European sovereign debt crisis diminished during the reporting period.

•  Positioning in a number of fixed income sectors benefited Fund performance.

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

  – Our long credit position versus government bonds was rewarded as credit spreads2 tightened and outperformed Treasuries. This was due to the generally risk-on sentiment during the reporting period.

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

2  "Spreads" refers to differences between the yields paid on US Treasury bonds and other types of debt, such as emerging market bonds.

UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

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

  – Our conservative to modestly long equities position was a positive for results as equities produced overall strong returns during the six-month review period.

  – A bias to international equities versus US equities during the reporting period was rewarded. In particular, international equities rallied at the end of the review period, as concerns related to the European sovereign debt crisis receded. In contrast, US equities weakened given uncertainties related to the "fiscal cliff."

What didn't work

•  A few 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 believed that the Australian and New Zealand dollars would weaken given moderating global growth, but this did not prove true during the reporting period.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 29, 2012 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.42% and 1.36%; Class C—2.18% and 2.11%; Class Y—1.11% and 1.11%. 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 28, 2013, 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. 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, UBS Global AM (Americas)'s three year recoupment rights will survive.

6  The MSCI World Free Index (net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. Dividends are reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, using tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates.

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

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 (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.

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.

UBS Global Allocation Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, Class A shares of UBS Global Allocation Fund (the "Fund") returned 8.18% (Class A shares returned 2.24% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 8.45%. The Fund's benchmark, the GSMI Mutual Fund Index (the "Index"), returned 7.14% during the same time period. For comparison purposes, the Russell 3000 Index returned 6.49%, the MSCI World Free Index (net) returned 9.36%, and the Citigroup World Government Bond Index returned 1.23% over the same period. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 23; please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund produced a positive absolute return during the reporting period. Performance was primarily due to currency positioning, market allocation strategy and security selection.

During the review period, we used derivatives for risk management purposes and as a tool to help enhance returns across various strategies. 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. Overall, as mentioned above, our market allocation strategy positively contributed to Fund performance during the reporting period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Currency strategies, overall, were positive for performance.

  – A long Mexican peso was the most beneficial currency strategy for performance given its strong results.

  – Our long position in a basket of Asian currencies (the Malaysian ringgit, South Korean won and Taiwan dollar) was beneficial for performance as they generally appreciated, versus the US dollar.

  – Long positions in the euro and Polish zloty were both rewarded during the reporting period as fears of the European sovereign debt crisis diminished during the reporting period.

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

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

  – Our long credit position versus government bonds was rewarded as credit spreads2 tightened and they outperformed Treasuries. This was due to the generally risk-on sentiment during the reporting period

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

2  "Spreads" refers to differences between the yields paid on US Treasury bonds and other types of debt, such as emerging market bonds.

UBS Global Allocation Fund

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

  – A bias to international equities versus US equities during the reporting period was rewarded. In particular, international equities rallied during the fourth quarter of 2012, as concerns related to the European sovereign debt crisis receded. In contrast, US equities weakened given uncertainties related to the "fiscal cliff."

  – In November 2012, we added to the Fund's neutral position in emerging markets equities, bringing it to an overweight. This was positive for performance as emerging markets equities performed well at the end of the review period.

  Security selection in a number of areas was beneficial for results. In particular, security selection of international equities and US core value equities were positives for performance.

  – Several relative value equity trades were additive for performance. A bias toward Australian equities versus US equities generated positive results, as did a long Japan position versus a short Taiwan position.

•  Overall, the Fund's positioning among risk assets was mixed during the period.

  – We tactically adjusted the Fund's allocation to equities during the reporting period. When the period began, 63% of the portfolio was allocated to equities, versus 65% for the benchmark. The initial underweight, as well as a tactical underweight in the middle of the period, modestly detracted from results as equity markets performed well. As the reporting period progressed, we moved to an overweight in equities as economic data somewhat improved. At the end of the reporting period, the Fund had a 69% allocation to equities and a 31% allocation to global fixed income and cash.

  – We moved to an overweight position in emerging markets equities in November 2012, given signs of some improvement in China's economy. This position was rewarded, as emerging markets equities generated strong results at the end of the review period.

What didn't work

  A couple of 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 believed that the Australian and New Zealand dollars would weaken given moderating global growth, but this did not prove to be the case during the reporting period.

•  An allocation to cash was a drag on results given better opportunities in risk assets.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 29, 2012 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.31% and 1.31%; Class C—2.08% and 2.08%; Class Y—1.01% and 1.01%. 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 28, 2013, 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 measures 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. 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 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 in 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 replaced the 40% Russell 3000 Index, 22% MSCI World ex USA Index and 3% MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net); the 15% Citigroup World Government Bond ex US Index and 15% Citigroup US Government Bond Index replaced the 9% Citigroup World Government Bond ex US Index and the 21% Citigroup US Broad Investment Grade Index. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

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

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

Portfolio of investments

December 31, 2012 (unaudited)

Portfolio footnotes

*  Non-income producing security.

1  Security, or portion thereof, was on loan at December 31, 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 December 31, 2012, the value of these securities amounted to $242,992 or 0.03% of net assets.

3  On September 7, 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency placed the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Federal National Mortgage Association into conservatorship, and the US Treasury guaranteed the debt issued by those organizations.

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 issuers' country. Only if inflation occurs will securities offer a higher real yield than a conventional security of the same maturity.

UBS Global Frontier Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, Class A shares of UBS Global Frontier Fund (the "Fund") returned 10.26% (Class A shares returned 4.23% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 10.34%. The Fund's benchmark, the GSMI Mutual Fund Index (the "Index"), returned 7.14% over the same time period. For comparison purposes, the MSCI World Free Index (net) returned 9.36%. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 36; please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund produced a positive absolute return during the reporting period. Performance was primarily due to currency positioning, market allocation strategy, security selection and the use of leverage.

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. Overall, as mentioned above, our market allocation strategy positively contributed to Fund performance during the period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Currency strategies, overall, were positive for performance.

  – A long Mexican peso was the most beneficial currency strategy for performance given its strong results.

  – Our long position in a basket of Asian currencies (the Malaysian ringgit, South Korean won and Taiwan dollar) was beneficial for performance as they generally appreciated versus the US dollar.

  – Long positions in the euro and Polish zloty were both rewarded as fears of the European sovereign debt crisis diminished during the reporting period.

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

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

  – Our long credit position versus government bonds was rewarded as credit spreads2 tightened and they outperformed Treasuries. This was due to the generally risk-on sentiment during the reporting period.

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

2  "Spreads" refers to differences between the yields paid on US Treasury bonds and other types of debt, such as emerging market bonds.

UBS Global Frontier Fund

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

  – A bias to international equities versus US equities during the reporting period was rewarded. In particular, international equities rallied during the fourth quarter of 2012, as concerns related to the European sovereign debt crisis receded. In contrast, US equities weakened given uncertainties related to the "fiscal cliff."

  – In November 2012, we added to the Fund's neutral position in emerging markets equities, bringing it to an overweight. This was positive for performance as emerging markets equities performed well at the end of the review period.

  Security selection in a number of areas was beneficial for results. In particular, security selection of international equities and US core value equities were positives for performance.

  Several relative value equity trades were additive for performance. A bias toward Australian equities versus US equities generated positive results, as did a long Japan position versus a short Taiwan position.

•  Overall, the Fund's positioning among risk assets was mixed during the period.

  – We tactically adjusted the Fund's allocation to equities during the reporting period. When the period began, 63% of the portfolio was allocated to equities, versus 65% for the benchmark. The initial underweight, as well as a tactical underweight in the middle of the period, modestly detracted from results as equity markets performed well. As the reporting period progressed, we moved to an overweight in equities as economic data somewhat improved. At the end of the reporting period, the Fund had a 69% allocation to equities and a 31% allocation to global fixed income and cash.

  – We moved to an overweight position in emerging markets equities in November 2012, given signs of some improvement in China's economy. This position was rewarded, as emerging markets equities generated strong results at the end of the review period.

  Leverage contributed to performance during the period. The Fund maintained a leverage factor of approximately 25% during the reporting period. Given that leverage magnifies returns on the upside and the downside, the positive impact from market exposure was, therefore, amplified and benefited the Fund's results.

What didn't work

  A couple of 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 believed that the Australian and New Zealand dollars would weaken given moderating global growth, but this did not prove to be the case during the reporting period.

•  An allocation to cash was a drag on results given better opportunities in risk assets.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 29, 2012 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.85% and 1.52%; Class C—2.63% and 2.27%; Class Y—1.63% and 1.27%. 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 28, 2013, 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. 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, UBS Global AM (Americas)'s three year recoupment rights will survive.

1  Inception date of all share classes of UBS Global Frontier Fund is July 26, 2007. Inception date of the indices, for the purpose of this illustration, is July 31, 2007.

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

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 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 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. Dividends are reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, using tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies, as Luxembourg applies the highest rates. Had US tax rates been applied, the performance of the index would be different. The index is constructed and managed with a view to being fully investable from the perspective of international institutional investors. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

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

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

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

Portfolio footnotes

*  Non-income producing security.

1  Security, or portion thereof, was on loan at December 31, 2012.

2  Debt security whose principal and/or interest payments are adjusted for inflation, unlike 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 amount at maturity. In exchange for the inflation protection, the securities generally pay lower interest rates than typical government securities from the issuers' country. Only if inflation occurs will securities offer a high real yield than a conventional security of the same maturity.

UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2012, Class A shares of UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund (the "Fund") returned 5.97% (Class A shares returned 1.21% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 6.10%. For comparison purposes, the Barclays US Corporate Investment Grade Index (the "Index"), returned 4.93% during 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 46; 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 this is considered 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 range.1 For the six months ended December 31, 2012, the Fund's yield was 3.69% and 3.93% for Class A and Class Y shares, respectively. We believe this was an attractive level of income, given the continued low interest rate environment.

During the review period, we used derivatives, including writing covered calls, to increase cash flow and reduce the risk profile of the Fund's allocation to global real estate. 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 high yield corporate bond exposure was beneficial for performance. We added to the Fund's high yield bond allocation during the reporting period, making it the portfolio's largest position. This was rewarded given the sector's strong return over the six-month period, which was supported by generally solid corporate balance sheets, low defaults and overall robust demand from investors looking to generate incremental yield. We believe that investor demand for yield will support the significant supply of new issuance coming to the market. That said, given the sector's strong performance in 2012, we remain vigilant for signs of less bondholder-friendly behavior and any changes in market supply/demand technicals.

1  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 was among the largest positions in the portfolio during the reporting period. We believed global real estate, particularly European and Asian real estate investment trusts (REITs), offered more attractive income potential and inflation protection versus high dividend stocks.

  – During the reporting period, we began to see investors search for alternative income sources outside the US, which positively contributed to our performance in this sector.

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

  Our emphasis on international equities with call overwriting versus US high dividend stocks was rewarded. We added to the Fund's international equity allocation during the period, given what we felt were compelling valuations in certain markets, including Japan and Europe. This was beneficial for performance, as international equities was the top-performing asset class during the period.

  An allocation to local emerging markets debt ("EMD") was additive for results, given the sector's strong performance. We maintained a bias for local EMD over US dollar-denominated debt, as we felt the former presented more compelling risk-adjusted opportunities.

•  A number of asset allocation strategies were successful in generating income and maintaining a low risk profile.

  – The Fund's allocations to high yield bonds, global real estate, local EMD and international equities were beneficial, as they outperformed other income-generating portions of the market, including utilities, master limited partnerships and investment grade corporate bonds.

  – The Fund's beta, a measure of market volatility, of 0.3 was significantly lower than the overall equity market, which had a beta of 1.0.

What didn't work

  Certain hedging instruments slightly detracted from results. Given the market's strong overall performance during the reporting period, certain hedging instruments, which were used to manage the portfolio's overall risk, were a modest drag on performance.

3  Call overwriting involves selling options while already owning the underlying security. As the seller of a call option, we believe that the price of the security will not rise. If the stock price rises, then we can sell the security and receive the call option premium, but our upside is capped. If the stock price falls, then the call option is worthless; we would still receive the call option premium, but the underlying position would fall in price.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 29, 2012 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—3.30% and 1.28%; Class C—4.14% and 2.03%; Class Y—3.06% and 1.03%. 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 28, 2013, do not exceed 0.95% for Class A shares, 1.70% 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. 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, UBS Global AM (Americas)'s three year recoupment rights will survive.

1  Inception date of all share classes of UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund and the index is April 25, 2012.

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 Barclays US Corporate Investment Grade Index is a sub-index of the Barclays US Credit Index, and includes publicly issued US corporate and specified foreign debentures and secured notes that meet the specified maturity, liquidity and quality requirements. To qualify, bonds must be SEC-registered. Investors should note that the indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

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

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

EURIBOR  Euro Interbank Offered Rate

GDR  Global depositary receipt

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 paydown. 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.

  A special type of equity investment that shares in the earnings of the company, has limited voting rights, and may have a dividend preference. Preference shares may also have liquidation preference.

Re-REMIC  Combined Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit

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.

The UBS Funds

December 31, 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; service and/or distribution (12b-1) fees (if applicable); and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, July 1, 2012 to December 31, 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 July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012.

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

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

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 14 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. 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 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


75



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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. Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, if any, are disclosed near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

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


76



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 and periodic internal audit reviews.

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 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 International Financial Reporting Standards ("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


77



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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, swaptions 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 December 31, 2012 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of December 31, 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 period ended December 31, 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).

Disclosure of derivatives by underlying risk for each Fund as of and for the period ended December 31, 2012 is as follows:

The UBS Funds

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 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


82



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 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


83



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

Fund. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to a specified currency exchange rate(s) for a specified amount. Currency swap agreements are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk, foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk.

Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to make or receive payments in the event of a default or other credit event of a referenced security. As a buyer, a Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty, and a Fund would receive payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, a Fund will lose its periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event does occur, a Fund typically would receive full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. As a seller, a Fund would receive periodic payments from the counterparty, and a Fund would make payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, a Fund will 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 December 31, 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


84



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 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.

For the period ended December 31, 2012, there were no short positions held by UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund.


85



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 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 period ended December 31, 2012, the Funds did not record any recaptured commissions.

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:

The Funds may invest in certain affiliated investment companies also advised or managed by the Advisor. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2012 and for the period then ended have been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

Under normal conditions, the Funds invest cash collateral from securities lending activities into an affiliated private money market fund, UBS Private Money Market Fund LLC ("Private Money Market"), which operates in compliance with most of the substantive provisions of Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Private Money Market is managed by the Advisor and is offered as a cash management option only to mutual funds and certain other accounts managed by the Advisor. 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 December 31, 2012 and for the year then ended have been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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.

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.

Notes to financial statements

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended June 30, 2012, or since inception in the case of UBS Multi-Asset Income 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 period ended December 31, 2012.
