President's letter

Dear Shareholder,

When I last wrote to you, in February, I noted that we were beginning to see signs of investors looking to transition some of their assets from traditional fixed income and cash back into risk assets. As the last few months have partly been characterized by increasing investor concern about the commitment of the Federal Reserve Board to its quantitative easing program, the rotation out of fixed income, to a large degree, has not yet occurred. Complicating the decision making process for investors are the inherent behavioral challenges of market timing and whether or not to act now, given the relatively strong year-to-date results for large and small US company stocks and developed international equity markets, while fixed income markets are generally in negative territory.

At UBS Global Asset Management, we have always emphasized the importance of developing an appropriate investment plan and seeing it through. For individual investors, this task has never been easy, and the shift in the dynamics we face going forward requires that investors re-examine how they construct portfolios to meet their long-term goals. A good example, and one worth highlighting, is the current and likely unsustainable low interest rate environment. As a result, regulators, such as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, have mandated greater disclosure of the risks associated with investing in fixed income securities. They want investors to understand that as bond yields rise, bond prices fall. They also want investors to know that slower changes in rates could have less impact, while faster increases would likely mean more dramatic changes in the value of investors' bond portfolios. Consequently, the role of fixed income as a core holding could play a dramatically different role in portfolios, and investors, advisors and consultants are all adapting their approaches to deal with the reality of this dynamic shift.

UBS Global Asset Management remains committed to providing you with an array of flexible, outcome-oriented investment solutions that we believe can dial down the risk and correlations to traditional fixed income and equities, in the pursuit of income and growth. We have remained ahead of these issues, as over the last few years, we have enhanced and refined our mutual fund lineup to meet your evolving investment needs. For example, April marked the one-year anniversary of the launching of 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 and focuses more on loss limitation. UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund looks to generate returns via a strategy that is designed to have lower correlation to the broader equity and fixed income markets and can play an important complementary role in an investor's overall fixed income allocation. These funds complement our overall offering of funds that are designed to meet core and niche market exposure needs for portfolios across traditional equity and fixed income asset classes.

President's letter

Now is an important time to review your financial plan. It's important to have a plan that considers the market environment ahead and, as always, to do your best to stick with it. UBS Global Asset Management is well-resourced to play an active role, by providing solutions and guidance, as investors and their advisors seek to outsource the complexities they face in achieving their investment needs. I hope you continue to leverage our talent, resources and our 30-year heritage of navigating markets globally and trust us to see your plan through.

Sincerely,

Mark E. Carver

The markets in review

Moderating global growth

While the overall US economy continued to grow during the reporting period, the pace of the expansion was mixed. Gross domestic product ("GDP") growth was 2.8% during the third quarter of 2012 and decelerated by 0.1% in the fourth quarter. However, the economy regained some traction, as GDP grew 1.1% during the first three months of 2013. The Commerce Department's initial estimate for second quarter 2013 GDP growth was 1.7%.1

The Federal Reserve Board (the "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 at an extremely low level between 0% and 0.25%. Looking back, at its December 2012 meeting, the Fed said it would continue buying $40 billion a month of agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and 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. The Fed has not materially changed its official policy stance thus far in 2013. However, in his press conference following the Fed's meeting in June, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said "...the Committee currently anticipates that it would be appropriate to moderate the monthly pace of purchases later this year; and if the subsequent data remain broadly aligned with our current expectations for the economy, we would continue to reduce the pace of purchases in measured steps through the first half of next year, ending purchases around midyear." This triggered increased volatility throughout the global financial markets.

Economic growth in countries outside the US often decelerated or remained in recession during the reporting period. In its July 2013 World Economic Outlook Update, released after the reporting period ended, the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") projected that global growth would be 3.1% in 2013, lower than its previous forecast of a 3.3% expansion. From a regional perspective, the IMF anticipated 2013 growth in the eurozone would contract 0.6%. While growth in emerging market countries is expected to remain higher than in their developed country counterparts, the IMF also trimmed its forecast for most emerging market countries.

Rising rates negatively impact the fixed income market

US Treasury yields moved higher during the reporting period and negatively impacted the overall bond market (yields and bond prices move in opposite directions). Increasing investor concerns about the commitment of the Fed to its quantitative easing program caused yields to move sharply higher in May and June 2013. Against this backdrop, a number of US taxable spread sectors (non-US Treasury fixed income securities) produced either negative returns or only modest gains during the reporting period. The overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Index,2 declined 0.69% over the 12 months ended June 30, 2013. Looking more closely at lower-rated fixed income securities, high yield bonds generated strong results given largely robust demand from investors looking for incremental yield in the low interest rate environment. All told, the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index3 rose 9.44% during the reporting period. In contrast, emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),4 returned 1.24%. This weak performance was due to a variety of factors, including fears of a "hard landing" for China's economy, falling commodity prices and rising US interest rates.

1  Based on the Commerce Department's most recent estimate announced on July 31, 2013, after the Funds' reporting period had ended.

2  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.

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

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

UBS Core Plus Bond Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2013, Class A shares of UBS Core Plus Bond Fund (the "Fund") returned 0.06% (Class A shares declined 4.44% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 0.31%. The Fund's benchmark, the Barclays US Aggregate Index (the "Index"), declined 0.69% 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.)

The Fund posted a slightly 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 use to manage the Fund's overall risk exposure and to implement the aforementioned strategies. That said, overall, currency management and sector allocation were additive to performance, while yield curve positioning was a negative contributor to performance.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Overall, sector allocation contributed to performance during the reporting period.

  – We tactically adjusted the Fund's exposure to investment grade corporate bonds, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) during the fiscal year. For the majority of the reporting period, we had an overweight position in these three sectors, which was beneficial for performance given generally solid demand from investors seeking yield in the low interest rate environment.

  – Toward the end of the reporting period, we reduced exposure to those sectors, but generally maintained a modest overweight to non-Treasury securities.

•  Security selection was additive to performance during the 12 months.

  – Security selection in both the investment grade corporate sector and CMBS contributed to relative performance.

  – Within corporates, we generally maintained an overweight to financials, with an emphasis on more liquid, higher beta (higher risk) bank holding companies.

  – In CMBS, we favored "mezzanine"2 tranches, which performed well for much of the reporting period.

1  For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, see page 3.

2  Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) commonly feature a subordination structure, where cash flows from an underlying commercial mortgage pool are allocated to various tranches of securities (bonds) according to predetermined rules. Each tranche differs in payment priority, duration and yield; where more subordinated tranches typically offer higher yields to compensate for the additional risk. Credit ratings are assigned to tranches and range from highest quality AAA to below investment grade and non-rated tranches. The AAA-rated tranche is further segmented into super senior AAA, mezzanine AAA and junior AAA classes; each carries a different risk and reward profile because of its degree of credit enhancement and placement in payment priority within the overall securitization.

UBS Core Plus Bond Fund

•  Currency positioning was additive for results. The largest benefit came from the Fund's short position in the Japanese yen, which weakened following the Bank of Japan's aggressive steps to provide policy accommodation.

What didn't work

•  Yield curve positioning detracted from the Fund's results. During the fiscal year, the Fund's duration in the US was largely neutral or tactically shorter than that of the Index, while we believed that US yields would move higher. We implemented our shorter duration bias by being underweight the back-end of the yield curve. The Fund was also underweight shorter-dated instruments. This positioning detracted from performance as the yield curve flattened toward the end of the reporting period.

•  The Fund's exposure to emerging markets debt (EMD) detracted from performance. The Fund held a modest position in the debt of emerging economies. This exposure underperformed in the latter half of the reporting period as rising US interest rates, a strengthening US dollar and concerns over a cyclical slowdown in emerging markets converged and negatively impacted this market segment.

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, 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.

UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund

Portfolio performance

From the period from its inception on July 23, 2012 through June 30, 2013, Class A shares of UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund declined 1.78% (Class A shares declined 6.19% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares declined 1.16%. For comparison purposes, the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global) declined 2.65%, and the Emerging Markets Debt Benchmark Index (the "Index") declined 1.76% 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 20; 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 negative return during the reporting period and performed largely in line with the Index. The Fund's negative return was primarily due to country 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) and security selection modestly contributed to performance, while currency management did not meaningfully impact performance during the reporting period. Elsewhere, duration management detracted from performance due to a longer duration exposure in local debt, particularly during the first half of 2013.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Country selection, overall, modestly contributed to performance. Overweights to Belarus and Serbia were beneficial to performance, as was an underweight in Ukraine.

•  Overweights and security selection of quasi-sovereign bonds aided the Fund's performance. In particular, our quasi-sovereign positioning in Russia, Venezuela and United Arab Emirates were additive for performance.

•  Our positioning in local currency debt in Ghana was positive for performance. An overweight position, as well as yield curve positioning, were rewarded.

•  Investments in local Brazilian debt were a modest positive for performance. Local yields significantly declined during 2012 and added to results. This trend was reversed at the beginning of 2013. Pressure came from increasing inflation forecasts, followed by a first rate hike by Brazil's central bank. This negative trend intensified when US Treasury yields started to rise.

What didn't work

•  The Fund's positioning in Hungary detracted from performance. In particular, an underweight in Hungarian government bonds was a negative, as rates in the country declined during the reporting period, after a strong sell-off during the first half of 2012.

•  An underweight in Poland was detrimental for results as the country outperformed the Index.

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.

Portfolio footnotes

*  Non-income producing security.

1  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. Regulation S applies to securities offerings that are made outside of the United States and do not involve direct selling efforts in the United States. At June 30, 2013, the value of these securities amounted to $7,873,542 or 33.81% of net assets.

2  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 June 30, 2013, the value of these securities amounted to $2,388,268 or 10.26% of net assets.

3  Variable or floating rate security—the interest rate shown is the current rate as of June 30, 2013 and changes periodically.

4  Security pays, when required, a floating rate that is determined annually based on the Argentina GDP.

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

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

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

a  Fund commenced operations on July 23, 2012.

8  Illiquid investment. At June 30, 2013, the value of this investment amounted to $13,062 or 0.00% of net assets.

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

10  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 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 underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

11  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.

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. Credit spreads are unaudited.

UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2013, Class A shares of UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") returned 4.15% (Class A shares declined 0.58% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 4.50%. For comparison purposes, the BofA Merrill Lynch US Dollar 3-Month LIBOR Constant Maturity Index (the "Index"), returned 0.38% 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 35; 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 as well as commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS).

The Fund extensively uses 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, the Fund's interest rate- and spread sector-related hedging strategies produced mixed results. While spread sector hedging strategies detracted from performance, duration hedging was additive for results. Currency positioning and spread management were overall positive contributors to results during the reporting period.

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

  – The Fund's allocations to both high yield and investment grade corporate bonds were rewarded. These credit sectors were supported by generally solid investor demand and positive fundamentals. However, a portion of their previous gains were given back due to a sharp sell-off in the fixed income market in May and June. This was triggered by the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") indicating that it may begin to taper its asset purchase program—known as quantitative easing—sooner than previously anticipated. The performance of the Fund's long exposures more than offset the negative impact of the hedging strategies employed in both sectors over the course of the full reporting period.

  – 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.

UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund

  – The Fund's emerging markets debt exposure was additive for performance during the first half of the reporting period. However, some of these gains were given back due to weakness in the asset class during the second half of the period.

  – Security selection of taxable municipal Build America Bonds (BABs) was positive for results.

•  Overall, currency positioning was a positive for performance. The Fund's active currency decisions in several developed countries, including the euro, Japanese yen and Australian dollar, contributed to performance.

•  Tactical management of the Fund's duration and yield curve positioning was beneficial. We 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

•  Hedging strategies detracted from performance.

  – The Fund's credit hedging strategies were a small negative for performance.

  – The Fund benefited from duration and yield curve positioning. However, this was partially offset by other interest rate-related 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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

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

12  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.

13  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.

14  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.

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

16  Payment is based on the performance of the underlying iBoxx GBP Corporates Total Return Index.

17  Swap agreements are included in the table at value, with the exception of centrally cleared swap agreements which are included in the table at unrealized appreciation/(depreciation).

The UBS Funds

June 30, 2013 (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, January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013.

Actual expenses

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

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

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

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

This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013.

For Class A shares of each Fund, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% of the shares' offering price or the net asset value at the time of sales by the shareholder, whichever is less, is charged on sales of shares on original purchases of $1,000,000 or more that were not subject to a front-end sales charge made within one year of the purchase date. For Class C, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 0.75% for each Fund. Class Y has no contingent deferred sales charge. 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.

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 13 Funds available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies. The following three funds are covered in this report: UBS Core Plus Bond Fund, UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund, and UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund (each a "Fund", and collectively, the "Funds").

Each of the Funds is classified as a "diversified" investment company. 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 on days that the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open. A Fund calculates net asset value separately for each class as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). If trading on the NYSE is halted for the day before 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, a Fund's net asset value per share will be calculated as of the time trading was halted.

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 investments 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 investments. 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 investments. Investments also may be valued based on appraisals derived from information concerning the investment or similar investments received from recognized dealers in those holdings. Investments 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


70



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

prior to valuation. Investments 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 investments are traded on more than one exchange, the investments 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 investment, that investment 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 an investment'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 investment; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the investment is purchased and sold. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").

Certain investments 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 investments, the Fund may adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what the Board believes to be the fair value of these investments 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 investments 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 an investment is valued at "fair value," that value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the investment. 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 Board has delegated to the UBS Global AM 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.


71



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

The GVC provides reports to the Board at each quarterly meeting regarding any investments 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 investments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are not limited to: foreign investments under some circumstances, as discussed below, securities of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; investments 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 investments that are restricted as to transfer or resale. The need to fair value a Fund's portfolio investments may also result from low trading volume in foreign markets or thinly traded domestic investments, and when a security that 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 an investment'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 investment; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the investment is purchased and sold. Valuing investments at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than valuing investments 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 January 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-01 ("ASU 2013-01"), "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities", replaced Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 ("ASU 2011-11"), "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities". ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2013-01 and its impact, if any, on the Funds' financial statements.

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


72



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 June 30, 2013 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of June 30, 2013, the Fund would be required to post additional collateral or may be required to terminate the contracts and settle any amounts outstanding. 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). 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 June 30, 2013, except for written options and forward foreign currency contracts for UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund for which the average volume during the year was lower than at year end.

Disclosure of derivatives by underlying risk as of and for the period ended June 30, 2013 is as follows:

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 realized 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


77



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 income or realize gains. Using financial futures contracts involves various market risks, including interest rate and equity risk. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. To the extent that market prices move in an unexpected direction, there is a risk that a Fund will not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contract or may realize a loss.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the "initial margin". Subsequent payments, known as "variation margin", are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying futures contracts. Such variation margin is recorded 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.


78



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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

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

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of June 30, 2013 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.

Certain clearinghouses currently offer clearing for limited types of derivatives transactions, such as interest and credit derivatives. In a cleared derivative transaction, a Fund typically enters into the transaction with a financial institution counterparty, and performance of the transaction is effectively guaranteed by a central clearinghouse, thereby


79



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

reducing or eliminating the Fund's exposure to the credit risk of its original counterparty. The Fund will be required to post specified levels of margin with the clearinghouse or at the instruction of the clearinghouse; the margin required by a clearinghouse may be greater than the margin the Fund would be required to post in an uncleared transaction. Only a limited number of transactions are currently eligible for clearing. Centrally cleared swaps, if any, are reported on the Statement of assets and liabilities based on variation margin receivable or payable, if any.

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 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


80



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 each Fund's policy to distribute its 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 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 Asset Management (US) Inc., ("UBS Global AM (US)"). The redemption fees retained by the Funds are disclosed in the Statement of changes in net assets. For the period ended June 30, 2013, redemption fees for each Fund amounted to less than $0.01 per share and less than 0.01% of average 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 year ended June 30, 2013 have been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

The Funds may invest in UBS Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund ("Cash Prime"). Cash Prime is offered as a cash management option only to mutual funds and certain other accounts. Distributions received from Cash Prime are reflected as affiliated interest income in the Statement of operations. Amounts relating to those investments at June 30, 2013 and for the year then ended have been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

Under normal conditions, the Funds invest cash collateral from securities lending activities into an affiliated private money market fund, UBS Private Money Market Fund LLC ("Private Money Market"), which operates in compliance with most of the substantive provisions of Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Private Money Market is managed by the Advisor and is offered as a cash management option only to mutual funds and certain other accounts managed by the Advisor. UBS Global AM acts as managing member and receives a management fee from Private Money Market payable monthly in arrears at the annual rate of 0.10% of Private Money Market's average daily members' equity, minus the aggregate operating expenses of, and incurred by, Private Money Market during each such related month, not including investment expenses (including brokerage commissions, taxes, interest charges and other costs with respect to transactions in securities) and extraordinary expenses including litigation expenses, if any. The Advisor may, in its sole discretion, waive all or any portion of the management fee to which it may be entitled from time to time in order to maintain operating expenses at a certain level. Distributions received from Private Money Market, net of fee rebates paid to borrowers, are reflected as securities lending income in the Statement of operations. Amounts relating to those investments at June 30, 2013 and for the year then ended have been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

3. Distribution and service plans

UBS Global AM (US) is the principal underwriter of each Fund's shares. The Trust has adopted distribution and/or service plans (the "Plans") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Class A 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.

7. Federal income taxes

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

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 were as follows:

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

As of and during the year ended June 30, 2013, the Funds did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended June 30, 2013 or since inception in the case of UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund and UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

8. Line of credit

The Trust has entered into an agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank to provide a $50 million committed line of credit to the Funds ("Committed Credit Facility") to be utilized for temporary financing until the settlement of sales or purchases of portfolio securities, the repurchase or redemption of shares of each Fund at the request of shareholders and other temporary or emergency purposes. Interest on amounts borrowed is calculated based on the prevailing rates in effect at the time of borrowing. Under the Committed Credit Facility arrangement, each Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees, pro rata, based on the relative asset size of the Funds in the Committed Credit Facility. The average daily borrowings under the agreement for the year ended June 30, 2013, were as follows:

The UBS Funds

Report of independent registered public accounting firm

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of The UBS Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of UBS Core Plus Bond Fund, UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund and UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund (three of the series comprising The UBS Funds) (collectively the "Funds") as of June 30, 2013, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UBS Core Plus Bond Fund, UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund and UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund at June 30, 2013, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements
(unaudited)

At the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of The UBS Funds (the "Trust"), held on June 13 and 14, 2013 (the "Meeting"), the Board, including those Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust or UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (the "Advisor") and its affiliates (together, the "Independent Trustees"), considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements (the "Advisory Agreements") between the Trust and the Advisor for the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS Global Frontier Fund, UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, UBS International Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and UBS Core Plus Bond Fund (each a "Fund," and together, the "Funds"). Prior to the Meeting, the Independent Trustees' counsel had sent to the Advisor a request detailing the information that the Independent Trustees wished to receive in connection with their consideration of the continuation of the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees met with their independent counsel, as well as an independent consultant engaged by the Board to assist in the annual Advisory Agreement review process, on June 7, 2013, June 13, 2013 and June 14, 2013, to discuss the materials provided to them in response to the information request, including materials prepared by the Advisor, as well as reports prepared by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper Reports"), an independent statistical compilation company, providing comparative expense information on an actual and contractual basis and comparative performance information for the Funds. The Board also made reference to information and material that had been provided to the Independent Trustees throughout the year at quarterly Board meetings.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services.

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

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

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

Performance.

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

In explaining the performance of the UBS International Equity Fund, the Advisor discussed the factors that had affected the performance of the Fund over the past year. The Advisor stated that stock selection and the underperformance of the Fund's growth sleeve were the primary reasons for the Fund's underperformance compared to its peer universe. The Advisor discussed the Fund's stock selection process and discussed changes to the Fund's strategy that the Advisor was going to propose to the Board. The Advisor stated that it believed that the proposed strategy changes will provide the Fund with a more marketable investment strategy in the future.

The Advisor then discussed the factors that had a negative effect on the relative performance of the UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund during the one-year performance period. The Advisor noted that strategy changes had been implemented for the Fund in October 2012. The Advisor stated that since the transition to the new strategy, the Fund has experienced improved performance. The Advisor reported that the year-to-date performance of the Fund, as of March 31, 2013, placed the Fund in the highest quintile of its Lipper category.

With respect to the performance of the UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund and UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, the Advisor noted that each Fund had a positive return but also noted that each Fund underperformed relative to its peer universe. The Advisor explained that each Fund's relative underperformance as compared to its peers was due to the stock selection. The Advisor noted recent changes that were made that management believed would positively impact performance going forward including improvements to the investment process, changes in senior stock analysts and the employment of a new head of US Equity and Research.

In discussing the performance of the UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund for the one-year performance period, the Advisor explained that stock selection was the primary reason for the Fund's underperformance as compared to its peer universe. In addition to noting the recent changes made with respect to the equity team and enhancements to the investment process, the Advisor also noted that in the beginning of 2013, the Advisor had implemented, after Board approval, an options overlay strategy for the Fund. The Advisor stated that it believed that the changes to the equity team and investment process, as well as the enhancements to the Fund's strategy, would provide improved performance for the Fund.

The Advisor next addressed the relative underperformance of the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund with respect to the Fund's peers. The Fund's weaker relative performance as compared to its peer universe was mostly attributable to

The UBS Funds

(unaudited)

the Fund's more limited exposure to high yield and emerging market sectors, which were high performing asset classes during the period. The Advisor also noted that although the Fund underperformed as compared to its peers, the Fund outperformed its benchmark index during the period.

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

Fund fees and expenses.

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

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

The Board next considered that the management fee of the UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund was higher than the median of its Lipper expense group on a contractual basis, but noted that the Fund's actual management fee compared favorably with the Fund's peers placing in the first quintile of the Lipper expense group. The Board also considered that the UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund's total expenses were lower than the median of the Fund's expense group.

The Board then discussed the management fee of the UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund. It was noted that the UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund's management fee also was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group on a contractual basis. The Board noted that while the UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund's contractual management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, the Fund's actual management fee and total expenses were each at the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group.

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

The Board also reviewed the management fee of the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund and noted that the contractual management fee for the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund was higher than the management fee of several of the funds in its Lipper expense group. The Board, however, noted that the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund's actual management fee and total expenses were the lowest of the Fund's peers, each appearing in the first quintile of the Fund's Lipper expense group.

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

Costs and profitability.

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

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

Economies of scale.

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

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

President's letter

August 15, 2013

Dear Shareholder,

When I last wrote to you, in February, I noted that we were beginning to see signs of investors looking to transition some of their assets from traditional fixed income and cash back into risk assets. As the last few months have partly been characterized by increasing investor concern about the commitment of the Federal Reserve Board to its quantitative easing program, the rotation out of fixed income, to a large degree, has not yet occurred. Complicating the decision making process for investors are the inherent behavioral challenges of market timing and whether or not to act now, given the relatively strong year-to-date results for large and small US company stocks and developed international equity markets, while fixed income markets are generally in negative territory.

At UBS Global Asset Management, we have always emphasized the importance of developing an appropriate investment plan and seeing it through. For individual investors, this task has never been easy, and the shift in the dynamics we face going forward requires that investors re-examine how they construct portfolios to meet their long-term goals. A good example, and one worth highlighting, is the current and likely unsustainable low interest rate environment. As a result, regulators, such as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, have mandated greater disclosure of the risks associated with investing in fixed income securities. They want investors to understand that as bond yields rise, bond prices fall. They also want investors to know that slower changes in rates could have less impact, while faster increases would likely mean more dramatic changes in the value of investors' bond portfolios. Consequently, the role of fixed income as a core holding could play a dramatically different role in portfolios, and investors, advisors and consultants are all adapting their approaches to deal with the reality of this dynamic shift.

UBS Global Asset Management remains committed to providing you with an array of flexible, outcome-oriented investment solutions that we believe can dial down the risk and correlations to traditional fixed income and equities, in the pursuit of income and growth. We have remained ahead of these issues, as over the last few years, we have enhanced and refined our mutual fund lineup to meet your evolving investment needs. For example, April marked the one-year anniversary of the launching of 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 and focuses more on loss limitation. UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund looks to generate returns via a strategy that is designed to have lower correlation to the broader equity and fixed income markets and can play an important complementary role in an investor's overall fixed income allocation. These funds complement our overall offering of funds that are designed to meet core and niche market exposure needs for portfolios across traditional equity and fixed income asset classes.

The markets in review

Moderating global growth

While the overall US economy continued to grow during the reporting period, the pace of the expansion was mixed. The Commerce Department reported that gross domestic product ("GDP") growth was 2.8% during the third quarter of 2012 and decelerated to 0.1% in the fourth quarter. However, the economy regained some traction, as GDP grew 1.1% during the first three months of 2013. The Commerce Department's initial estimate for second quarter 2013 GDP growth was 1.7%.1

The Federal Reserve Board (the "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 at an extremely low level between 0% and 0.25% and, on several occasions, extended the period it expected to keep the fed funds rate on hold. Looking back, at its final meeting of the year, in December 2012, the Fed said it would continue buying $40 billion a month of agency mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and 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. The Fed has not materially changed its official policy stance thus far in 2013. However, in his press conference following the Fed's meeting in June, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said "...the Committee currently anticipates that it would be appropriate to moderate the monthly pace of purchases later this year; and if the subsequent data remain broadly aligned with our current expectations for the economy, we would continue to reduce the pace of purchases in measured steps through the first half of next year, ending purchases around midyear." This statement triggered increased volatility throughout the global financial markets.

Economic growth in countries outside the US often decelerated or remained in recession during the reporting period. In its July 2013 World Economic Outlook Update, released after the reporting period ended, the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") projected that global growth would be 3.1% in 2013, lower than its previous forecast of a 3.3% expansion. From a regional perspective, the IMF anticipated 2013 growth in the eurozone would contract 0.6%. While growth in emerging market countries is expected to remain higher than that in their developed country counterparts, the IMF also trimmed its forecast for most emerging market countries.

Most equity markets post strong results

Despite periods of heightened volatility and a late setback, developed market equities produced very strong results during the reporting period. In the US, continued positive economic growth, overall solid corporate profits and largely robust demand supported the market. While equities initially sold off after the Fed's comments about tapering its asset purchase program, this was not enough to offset their earlier gains. All told, the US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,2 gained 20.60% for the 12 months ended June 30, 2013. International equity markets were also impacted by the Fed's policy shift, as well as the ongoing European sovereign debt crisis and geopolitical issues. While international developed equities fell sharply in May and June, they returned 18.62% during the 12-month period, as measure by the MSCI EAFE Index (net).3 Emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net),4 returned 2.87% over the same time period. This relatively weak performance was due to a variety of factors, including fears of a "hard landing" for China's economy, falling commodity prices and rising US interest rates.

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

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

4  The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net) is a market capitalization-weighted index composed of 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 12 months ended June 30, 2013, Class A shares of UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund (previously UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund) (the "Fund") returned 6.68% (Class A shares returned 0.80% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 6.96%. The Fund's benchmark, the Citigroup Three-Month US Treasury Bill Index (the "Index"), returned 0.08% 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 7; 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 directional long-short 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.

The Fund generated a positive return and outperformed the Index during the 12 months ended June 30, 2013. The Fund invested in a number of distinct investment "sleeves" during the reporting period: US fundamental (from June 30, 2012 to early September 2012), event-driven (from June 30, 2012 to early September 2012), European fundamental (from June 30, 2012 to early September 2012), US fundamental long-short (from early September 2012 to June 30, 2013) and equity opportunity long-short (from January 31, 2013 to June 30, 2013). The Fund's outperformance was mainly derived from its allocations to the equity opportunity long-short sleeve and the US fundamental long-short sleeve.

During the first three months 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 three-month 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 forward positions on September 19, 2012. From the date of addition of the equity opportunity long-short sleeve, the Fund also successfully used currency forwards to hedge its currency exposure.

UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  The US fundamental long-short sleeve contributed to performance during the reporting period.

  – Every sector within the sleeve contributed to the Fund's results. Of particular note was the strong performance in the healthcare and industrials sectors.

  – At the stock level, the sleeve had strong contributions from Hertz Global Holding, a car rental firm, Micron Technology, a global semiconductor manufacturer, and Adobe Systems, a leading supplier of creative software tools.

•  The equity opportunity long-short sleeve was beneficial for performance.

  – The sleeve's long position added significant value, with the largest contribution coming from the healthcare sector. At the stock level, the top performers were long swap positions in GlaxoSmithKline, a UK pharmaceuticals company, and William Hill, a UK bookmaker.

  – The sleeve's short positions were also positive for performance. In particular, short positions in the financials and materials sectors were the most additive for results. Having a short position in African Bank Investment was positive for results, as its shares performed poorly. We closed our position in African Bank, as downside on the stock was limited after information following earnings disappointment was already factored in.

•  The event-driven sleeve modestly contributed to results during the first three months 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

•  The European fundamental sleeve detracted from performance during the month of September. Short positions in the healthcare 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.

•  Several individual stock positions in the US fundamental long-short sleeve detracted from performance.

  – The sleeve's exposure to Apple, Inc. was a large detractor from the sleeve's results.

  – A short position in Hewlett Packard negatively impacted the sleeves, as its shares rallied sharply during the reporting period.

•  Within the equity opportunity long-short sleeve, the consumer discretionary sector was the most detrimental to results. The sleeve's short position in Italian automobile manufacturer Fiat was a negative, as its shares rallied sharply during the reporting period.

UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund

•  Falling gold prices, late in the reporting period, negatively impacted several of the Fund's equity positions. The Fund was exposed to the price of gold through a long position in Detour Gold, which experienced a significant decline in its share 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—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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

UBS International Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2013, Class A shares of UBS International Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned 15.49% (Class A shares returned 9.18% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 15.95%. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI World Free ex USA Index (net) (the "Index"), returned 17.07% 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 21; 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 but underperformed its benchmark during the reporting period, primarily due to stock selection.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

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

  – Shares of UK online retailer ASOS performed well after its first half 2013 interim results surpassed analysts' expectations. Moreover, the company provided more detailed information regarding its Chinese expansion plans, which include a local third party distribution center for next day delivery.

  – Kabel Deutschland Holding is a German cable television operator. The company saw its shares outperform the benchmark after both Vodafone and Liberty Global made bids to acquire the company.

  – Shares of Carrefour, the largest retailer in France and the second largest chain store retailer in the world, rallied sharply during the reporting period. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

  – Scandinavian insurance company Sampo Oyj performed well on the back of improvements to its core business. Sampo owns more than 20% of Nordea, the largest bank in the Nordic region. We believe that the value of Nordea was not recognized by investors. However, sentiment improved as Nordea reported record-high total operating income for first quarter 2013.

•  Sector allocation decisions, overall, positively contributed to relative performance. 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 energy and utilities, were beneficial to the Fund's relative performance.

What didn't work

•  Several individual stocks had a negative impact on performance.

  – The large pharmaceutical company Roche Holdings weighed on the Fund's relative performance, since we did not hold it in the portfolio and it is a large weight in the benchmark. While recent earnings estimates for the company were largely flat, Roche's share price moved higher during the reporting period amid general strength by pharmaceutical stocks.

1  For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, see page 3.


19



UBS International Equity Fund

  – Orica, a multinational mining services company headquartered in Australia, performed poorly during the reporting period and detracted from the Fund's performance. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

  – Vale S.A. is a multinational diversified metals and mining company with its headquarters in Brazil. The company's shares were dragged down by weak mining volumes and softening demand for its mining products during the reporting period.

  – Petrominerales Ltd. is a Latin America-based oil and gas exploration and production company. Its shares fell sharply due to disappointing gas and oil exploration and production results.

•  Sector allocations in several areas detracted from results. Underweights to healthcare, telecommunication services and consumer staples were negative for the Fund's relative performance during the reporting period.

Portfolio highlights

•  After a weak start to the year, shares of Carrefour rose sharply during the reporting period. The company has been under new leadership since early 2012 and has been recovering its competitiveness in its domestic market and rationalizing its international footprint. We believe that improving French sales growth, better control of operating costs, value-adding divestitures and new investments, as well as a more sensible capital structure will help Carrefour restore its profitability in the coming years.

•  Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. is the largest financial conglomerate in Japan, offering traditional retail and commercial banking, securities, investment banking, credit card and consumer finance services. Its shares rallied after Japan's central bank announced its biggest round of quantitative easing and there were expectations that the company would report earnings above consensus expectations.

•  Orica is a multinational corporation headquartered in Australia that provides commercial blasting systems, mining and tunneling support systems and various chemical products. The company operates in more than 50 countries worldwide and serves customers in more than 100 countries. Shares of Orica performed poorly due to weakness in Chinese growth and declining mining capital expansion activity.

•  Imperial Tobacco is a global tobacco products manufacturer. It 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 the reporting period, the company underperformed due to weakening demand in emerging market countries.

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

UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2013, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund (previously UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund) (the "Fund") returned 25.04% (Class A shares returned 18.22% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 25.26%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), returned 21.24% 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 33; 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 U.S. Equity Alpha Fund, which went into effect on January 28, 2013. Specifically:

•  The Fund's name changed from UBS U.S. Equity Alpha Fund to UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund to better reflect its underlying investment strategy.

•  The Fund's 80% policy was changed from investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes, if any) in equity securities of US companies, to investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes, if any) in equity and/or equity-related instruments of US companies.

•  The Fund's 80% policy changed to provide the Fund with a greater opportunity to utilize the Advisor's options-based strategy to seek to reduce systematic market risk in the Fund's portfolio in extreme down markets.

The Fund outperformed the Index primarily due to stock selection decisions.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Several stock positions in various industry groups contributed to the Fund's outperformance.

  – Hertz Global Holdings made the largest contribution to relative performance during the 12-month period. The market continues to positively react to Hertz's recent acquisition of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group. Shares surged in March and April of 2013, after the company forecasted increased revenue, declining per-unit fleet costs, increased free cash flow and higher margins. During the reporting period, Hertz and China Auto Rental announced that Hertz will acquire a 20% stake in CAR, China's domestic market leader in short- and long-term car rentals. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Micron Technology was the second largest contributor to Fund returns. Micron is a leading manufacturer of semiconductor memories. The company's shares rose after it posted solid financial results. Micron is completing its acquisition of Elpida at the same time the industry has seen significant consolidation, resulting in increased pricing power. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

1  For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, see page 3.


30



UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund

  – Citigroup was positive for relative performance during the 12 months. The company continues to return capital to shareholders through share buybacks and a steadily rising dividend. In December 2012, Citigroup announced it would cut 11,000 jobs—about 4% of its worldwide staff—and, as a result, should save as much as $1.1 billion per year in expenses. The market responded to this announcement by sending the share price higher.

  – Gilead Sciences was a top contributor within the healthcare sector. The research-based biopharmaceutical company focuses primarily on HIV and hepatitis B and C. Gilead has had multiple successes with its drugs, which sent the stock price significantly higher during the 12 months. In 2012, the company received major FDA approvals for two of its HIV drugs. Gilead has reported positive results from several clinical trials of its HIV and hepatitis C treatments.

What didn't work

•  Several information technology stocks detracted from relative performance.

  – Apple was the largest detractor in the Fund during the 12 months. The company continues to face pressures regarding the distribution of the iPhone5, cannibalization of the iPad by the iPad Mini and its declining share of the mobile device market. Despite competition from Samsung, we continue to believe in Apple's ability to offer innovative products. We view the sell-off as overdone and have taken advantage of the weaker price to add to the Fund's position.

  – Skyworks Solutions detracted from Fund returns. The company is a supplier to Apple, and has traded down along with Apple for much of the 12-month period. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

• Certain stocks detracted from Fund performance for the full 12 months, but showed improvement toward the end of the reporting period.

  – Although NII Holdings was a detractor for the 12 months, performance improved toward the end of the reporting period. The telecommunications company's earnings were hurt when the Mexican peso and Brazilian real declined against the US dollar. We believe that NII has strong fundamentals and good future growth prospects and continued to hold the stock. When the price declined, we added to our position, viewing the company as inexpensive relative to its asset value. Our thesis was validated when the company announced it would liquidate some of its assets in Peru.

  – Shares of ServiceSource International were negative for relative performance. The company has a unique business model that manages recurring revenue for technology companies. Its shares sold off after ServiceSource issued earnings guidance in late 2012 that was below analysts' estimates. We took advantage of the price weakness and increased our position in ServiceSource International, as we have confidence in the company's longer-term business model. The company posted better-than-expected earnings in the first quarter of 2013 and increased its outlook for capital expenditures and free cash flow for the year. ServiceSource International recovered, bolstered by heavy insider buying, and was a significant positive contributor to the Fund during the second quarter. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund

•  A short position in Charles Schwab Corp. detracted from the Fund's performance. We believe that Schwab is less attractively valued than some of the other financial names that are held in the Fund. However, the stock traded higher during the recent rise in interest rates, along with the rest of the sector. High trading volume was positive for Schwab's stock price, which negatively impacted the Fund's short position in the name.

Portfolio highlights

•  Hertz Global Holdings is a worldwide airport general use car rental brand operating from approximately 8,500 locations in 146 countries. We believe that Hertz is undervalued based on several factors. First, the auto rental industry has undergone significant changes in the past decade, which is enabling it to operate more efficiently. Second, industry consolidation is having a favorable impact on the underlying supply and pricing environments. Finally, Hertz has a solid management team that was put into place by private equity. We believe that the team is successfully managing Hertz's business to optimize the new industry dynamics.

•  Micron Technology is fueling a major consolidation in the highly profitable mobile DRAM memory market with its acquisition of Elpida. The deal's favorable terms and expectations that the company would benefit from increased demand for smart phones and tablets helped drive Micron's stock higher, as the semiconductor industry is well-positioned, and companies have little need to out-price competitors in order to gain market share. The declining yen also contributed to Micron's strong results.

•  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. 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.

•  ServiceSource International is engaged in service revenue management, providing solutions that drive renewals of maintenance, support and subscription agreements for technology companies. Its business is built on its pay-for-performance model, in which customers pay the company based on renewal sales that it generates on their behalf. The company has significantly invested in new sales force members. We believe that ServiceSource international will accelerate revenue growth by further penetrating current customers, adding new customers and through sales of its new Renew OnDemand product.

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

UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2013, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund (the "Fund") returned 24.92% (Class A shares returned 18.01% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 25.27%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), returned 21.24% 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

•  Hertz Global Holdings made a significant contribution to relative performance during the 12 months. The market continues to positively react to Hertz's recent acquisition of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group. Shares surged in March and April of 2013, after the company forecasted increased revenue, declining per-unit fleet costs, increased free cash flow and higher margins. During the reporting period, Hertz and China Auto Rental announced that Hertz will acquire a 20% stake in CAR, China's domestic market leader in short- and long-term car rentals. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  The Fund was overweight the financial sector, as many financial stocks appeared attractively valued, which was positive for performance. The Fund has positions in several well-capitalized companies with competitive funding advantages, winning franchises and solid returns on equity. These firms should benefit as the US housing market improves and interest rates rise.

  – Citigroup was a top contributor to performance during the 12 months. The company continues to return capital to shareholders through share buybacks and a steadily rising dividend. In December 2012, Citigroup announced it would cut 11,000 jobs—about 4% of its worldwide staff—and, as a result, should save as much as $1.1 billion per year in expenses. The market responded to this announcement by sending the share price higher. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Morgan Stanley was a positive contributor to the Fund's relative returns. Shares were up more than 16% in May of 2013. As the company continued to downsize its volatile and capital-intensive investment bank, its business mix shifted toward the steady revenues of the wealth and asset management divisions. Shares headed higher, aided by strengthening capital markets, improving economic data and optimism about the housing market. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Several of the Fund's pharmaceutical stocks contributed to the Fund's outperformance.

  – Aegerion Pharmaceuticals was the largest stock contributor to Fund returns during the 12 months. The company is an emerging biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel and life-altering therapeutics to treat debilitating and often fatal rare diseases. Aegerion's stock rose more than 80% during the second quarter of 2013, after the announcement that its Juxtapid drug could reach $1 billion of annual sales. We sold the stock in June 2013, after it moved higher and reached our estimate of fair value.

1  For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, see page 3.


42



UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

  – Ligand Pharmaceuticals positively contributed to Fund returns. The stock was up more than 25% in June 2013. The company announced positive preclinical data for its Glucagon program, which demonstrated the ability to significantly lower glucose in an animal model of type 1 diabetes. In early 2013, Spectrum Pharmaceuticals licensed a potential multiple myeloma treatment from Ligand, and agreed to significant milestone payments and royalties if the drug is approved. This news contributed to the advance in the company's share price.

•  The Fund was underweight to the consumer staples sector, which was positive for performance. We believe this defensive sector is overvalued, with share prices that were driven up by nervous investors. As the economy has started to recover, these stocks have lagged the broader market, rewarding our underweight position.

What didn't work

•  Several of the Fund's stock positions detracted from relative performance during the 12-month period.

  – American Capital Agency was the largest detractor in the Fund during the 12 months. The real estate investment trust reported a comprehensive loss per common share of $1.57 for the first quarter of 2013. While this earnings report was a significant factor in the stock's decline, the entire sector suffered during the reporting period. Residential mortgage-backed securities issued and guaranteed by any of the federal agencies in the US are being held back by worries about the end of the Federal Reserve's asset buying program, known as quantitative easing. As interest rates rose during the second quarter of 2013, shares of American Capital sold off further. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Apple was the second-largest detractor during the reporting period. The company continues to face pressures regarding the distribution of the iPhone5, cannibalization of the iPad by the iPad Mini, and its declining share of the mobile device market. Despite competition from Samsung, we continue to believe in Apple's ability to offer innovative products. We view the sell-off as overdone and have taken advantage of the weaker price to add to the Fund's position.

  – Skyworks Solutions detracted from Fund returns. The company is a supplier to Apple and has traded down along with Apple for much of the 12-month period. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Although NII Holdings was a detractor for the 12 months, performance improved toward the end of the reporting period. The telecommunications company's earnings were hurt when the Mexican peso and Brazilian real declined against the US dollar. We believe that NII has strong fundamentals and good future growth prospects and continued to hold the stock. When the price declined, we added to our position, viewing the company as inexpensive relative to its asset value. Our thesis was validated when the company announced it would liquidate some of its assets in Peru. NII became the top positive contributor for the Fund during the second quarter of 2013.

Portfolio highlights

•  Hertz Global Holdings is a worldwide airport general use car rental brand operating from approximately 8,500 locations in 146 countries. We believe that Hertz is undervalued based on several factors. First, the auto rental industry has undergone significant changes in the past decade, which is enabling it to operate more efficiently. Second, industry consolidation is having a favorable impact on the underlying supply and pricing environments.


43



UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

Finally, Hertz has a solid management team that was put into place by private equity. We believe that the team is successfully managing Hertz's business to optimize the new industry dynamics.

•  Citigroup continues to rationalize its balance sheet, wind down bad assets in Citi Holdings, engineer expense reductions, improve liquidity and take share in its core businesses. The company transferred $45 billion of retail partner cards back to Citicorp, and finished selling its Smith Barney joint venture back to 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 strong earnings over the next several years as a result of solid revenue growth, improving expense discipline and better credit quality. Additionally, Citigroup should also benefit from its significant global exposure, particularly in the rapidly growing emerging markets.

•  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 for 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.

•  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. 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.

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

UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2013, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned 24.99% (Class A shares returned 18.10% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 25.28%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), returned 21.24% 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 54; 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 successful stock selection.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Many financial stocks appeared attractively valued, which led us to overweight the sector. The Fund has positions in several well-capitalized financial firms that demonstrate competitive funding advantages, winning franchises and solid returns on equity. These firms should benefit as the US housing market improves and interest rates rise.

  – Citigroup was a top contributor to Fund performance. The company continues to return capital to shareholders through share buybacks and a steadily rising dividend. In December 2012, Citigroup announced it would cut 11,000 jobs—about 4% of its worldwide staff—and, as a result, should save as much as $1.1 billion per year in expenses. The market responded to this announcement by sending the share price higher. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Morgan Stanley was a positive contributor to the Fund's relative returns. Shares were up more than 16% in May 2013. As the company continued to downsize its volatile and capital-intensive investment bank, its business mix shifted toward the steady revenues of the wealth and asset management divisions. Shares headed higher, aided by strengthening capital markets, improving economic data and optimism about the housing market.

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

  – Hertz Global Holdings made the largest contribution to relative performance during the 12 months. The market continues to positively react to Hertz's recent acquisition of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group. Shares of Hertz surged in March and April of 2013, after the company forecasted increased revenue, declining per-unit fleet costs, increased free cash flow and higher margins. During the reporting period, Hertz and China Auto Rental (CAR) announced that Hertz will acquire a 20% stake in CAR, China's domestic market leader in short- and long-term car rentals.

  – Micron Technology was the second largest contributor to Fund returns. Micron is a leading manufacturer of semiconductor memories. The company's shares rose after it posted solid financial results. Micron is completing its acquisition of Elpida at the same time the industry has seen significant consolidation, resulting in increased pricing power. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

1  For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, see page 3.


51



UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

  – Shares of Spirit Airlines traded higher during the reporting period. Spirit recently announced the purchase of 20 A321 aircraft, as well as the conversion of 10 of its existing A320 aircraft orders, to A321 aircrafts. The airline plans to extend several of its current A319 operating leases, which we believe will further bolster the company's future growth capacity. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  The Fund's underweight to the consumer staples sector was positive for performance. We believe that this defensive sector is overvalued, with share prices that were driven up by nervous investors. As the economy has started to recover, these stocks have lagged the broader market, rewarding our underweight position.

What didn't work

•  Several stock positions detracted from relative performance during the 12 months. While an underweight to the consumer discretionary sector slightly detracted from performance, it was the Fund's only negative sector position.

  – Apple was the largest detractor in the Fund. The company continues to face pressures regarding the distribution of the iPhone5, cannibalization of the iPad by the iPad Mini, and its declining share of the mobile device market. Despite competition from Samsung, we continue to believe in Apple's ability to offer innovative products. We view the sell-off as overdone and have taken advantage of the weaker price to add to the Fund's position.

  – American Capital Agency detracted from relative performance during the 12 months. The real estate investment trust reported a comprehensive loss per common share of $1.57 for the first quarter of 2013. Although this earnings report was a significant factor in the stock's decline, the entire sector suffered during the period. Residential mortgage-backed securities issued and guaranteed by any of the federal agencies in the US are being held back by worries about the end of the Federal Reserve's asset buying program. As interest rates rose during the second quarter of 2013, shares of American Capital sold off further. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Although NII Holdings was a detractor for the 12 months, performance improved toward the end of the reporting period. The telecommunications company's earnings were hurt when the Mexican peso and Brazilian real declined against the US dollar. We believe that NII has strong fundamentals and good future growth prospects and continued to hold the stock. When the price declined, we added to our position, viewing the company as inexpensive relative to its asset value. Our thesis was validated when the company announced it would liquidate some of its assets in Peru, and NII became the top positive contributor for the Fund during the second quarter of 2013.

  – Shares of ServiceSource International were negative for relative performance. The company has a unique business model that manages recurring revenue for technology companies. Its shares sold off after ServiceSource issued earnings guidance in late 2012 that was below analysts' estimates. We took advantage of the price weakness and increased our position in ServiceSource International, as we have confidence in the company's longer-term business model. The company posted better-than-expected earnings in the first quarter of 2013 and increased its outlook for capital expenditures and free cash flow for the year. ServiceSource International recovered, bolstered by heavy insider buying, and was the second largest positive contributor to the Fund during the second quarter. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")


52



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 take share in its core businesses. The company transferred $45 billion of retail partner cards back to Citicorp and finished selling its Smith Barney joint venture back to 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 strong earnings over the next several years as a result of solid revenue growth, improving expense discipline and better credit quality. Citigroup should also benefit from its significant global exposure, particularly in the rapidly growing emerging markets.

•  Micron Technology is fueling a major consolidation in the highly profitable mobile DRAM memory market with its acquisition of Elpida. The deal's favorable terms and expectations that the company would benefit from increased demand for smart phones and tablets helped drive Micron's stock higher. As the semiconductor industry is well-positioned, companies have little need to out-price competitors in order to gain market share. The declining yen also contributed to Micron's strong results.

•  Spirit Airlines continues to profit from industry consolidation, which helped its stock price rise during the 12 months. Spirit has demonstrated the ability to take market share from larger carriers by selling less expensive seats on the same routes. We believe the market is underestimating the cost per available seat mile and the financial strength advantages of Spirit compared to the legacy carriers. With its business model of selling discounted fares online, then charging for extras on board, we believe that Spirit has the potential to grow ancillary revenues at a higher rate than its competitors.

•  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 that the company will be able to invest at returns well above its cost of capital for the foreseeable future.

•  ServiceSource International is engaged in service revenue management, providing solutions that drive renewals of maintenance, support and subscription agreements for technology companies. Its business is built on its pay-for-performance model, in which customers pay the company based on renewal sales that it generates on their behalf. The company has invested significantly in new sales force members. We believe that ServiceSource International will accelerate revenue growth by further penetrating current customers, adding new customers and through sales of its new Renew OnDemand product.

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

Illustration of an assumed investment of $10,000 in Class A shares (adjusted for 5.5% maximum sales charge) and $5,000,000 in Class Y shares (unaudited)

The following two graphs depict the performance of UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund Class A and Class Y shares versus the Russell 1000 Index over the 10 years ended June 30, 2013. The performance of Class C shares will vary based upon the different class specific expenses and sales charges. The performance provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price and returns will vary with market conditions; investors may realize a gain or loss upon redemption.

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2013, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund") returned 23.78% (Class A shares returned 16.99% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 24.17%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the "Index"), returned 23.67% 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 63; 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 kept pace with the Index primarily due to stock selection decisions.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector resulted in an overweight to the sector and positively contributed to Fund returns.

  – Restoration Hardware, a home furnishings retailer, saw its shares rise after reporting better-than-expected sales and earnings for the first quarter. The company also raised guidance for fiscal 2013. The company is a multi-channel retailer that is shifting its real estate from legacy mall-based locations to high profile full-line design galleries, and the market approves. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Shares of Shutterfly, an operator of a photo-related website, rose on investor optimism that the company's competitors have reduced discounting. Shutterfly is gaining market share and improving its margins. We believe that the company will continue to benefit from a more rational pricing environment.

  – Bloomin' Brands is a casual dining company with a diverse portfolio of restaurants that includes Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's Italian Grill and Bonefish Grill. The company outperformed after posting better-than-expected earnings in early 2013 and reporting growth in same store sales. We believe that Bloomin' has the potential to improve profitability by expanding overseas.

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

  – Shares of Gulfport Energy Corp., an independent oil and gas exploration and production company, rose during the reporting period, after the company reported strong ultimate recovery numbers for the first two of its Utica shale wells to begin production. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Bonanza Creek was another successful oil and natural gas holding for the Fund. The company's shares traded higher as investors became more confident about Bonanza's ability to develop the acreage it owns in the Niobrara shale.

•  Another successful holding was Rock-Tenn Co. The manufacturer of corrugated packaging, recycled paperboard and display products performed well after posting earnings for the first quarter of 2013 that were above consensus expectations. Rock-Tenn continues to benefit from the solid execution of its restructuring and modernization plan. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

What didn't work

•  Stock selection in the technology sector detracted from relative performance during the 12 months.

  – Procera Networks was the largest negative contributor to Fund returns during the reporting period. The company is a leading provider of deep packet inspection appliances and software. Procera's shares declined after its first quarter 2013 sales and earnings came in below consensus estimates.

  – Shares of Mellanox Technologies, a semiconductor company, traded down after it reported a large inventory buildup during the first quarter of 2013. Investors feared the implications of Mellanox's lower-than-expected device sales, which led to weakness in the stock price.

  – Although OSI Systems made modest gains during the 12-month period, the stock was not able to keep pace with its peers. OSI is a diversified manufacturer of security screening systems, medical monitors and electrical components. The company reported second fiscal quarter 2013 sales that missed consensus estimates. The revenue shortfall was due to unexpectedly weak results in OSI's healthcare division. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Several of the Fund's healthcare holdings disappointed during the reporting period.

  – The Fund's position in Cepheid, a molecular diagnostics company, detracted from its relative returns after the company lowered earnings guidance several times during the 12 months. Macro uncertainties in the healthcare sector negatively impacted Cepheid's results.

  – HMS Holdings is a provider and coordinator of healthcare programs for government healthcare plans. The stock declined after the company reported quarterly sales and earnings below expectations and management reduced annual revenue guidance. Management lowered guidance based on slower than expected growth in Medicaid and Medicare Recovery Audit Contractor as well as a more conservative outlook on the recently won Medicare Coordination of Benefits contract.

  – Questcor Pharmaceuticals, a specialty pharmaceutical company that provides prescription drugs for central nervous system and immune system disorders, disappointed after Aetna announced it would limit reimbursements on one of Questcor's more popular drugs.

•  The Fund's underweight to industrials held back more robust performance, as industrials was one of the top performing sectors for the 12 months.

Portfolio highlights

•  Restoration Hardware is a specialty retailer of furniture, bathware, hardware, lighting, textiles, accessories and related merchandise. The company is transitioning its largely mall-based units to larger-format galleries. The galleries are roughly 20,000 square feet and have the capacity to showcase a significant portion of the company's merchandise under one roof. We believe that additional growth will come from planned product line expansions and new category introductions.

•  Gulfport Energy 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. The company has monetized a portion of its Permian basin assets through the initial public offering (IPO) of Diamondback Energy earlier in 2012.

•  Rock-Tenn 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 as well as 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.

•  OSI Systems is a manufacturer of security inspection systems and medical monitoring systems. The company's primary division sells equipment that is used to scan baggage, cargo and vehicles for weapons, explosives, drugs and other contraband. In 2012, OSI announced a major win with the port of Puerto Rico, where the company will provide the equipment and turnkey cargo screening services. OSI is in the process of launching a new CT scanner for airport baggage screening that can operate at three times the speed of current scanners with similar accuracy rates. We believe that the healthcare division will see improving results as it starts to benefit from a new product cycle. Most of the company's new monitors now offer increased functionality and touch screen interfaces.

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

The UBS Funds

June 30, 2013 (unaudited)

Explanation of expense disclosure

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

The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013.

Actual expenses

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

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

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

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

This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013.

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

2  Total investment return is calculated assuming a $10,000 investment on the first day of each year 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 year reported. The figures do not include any applicable sales charges; results would be lower if they were included. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund 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 year 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 year reported. The figures do not include any applicable sales charges; results would be lower if they were included. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends/distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

3  Amount represents less than $0.005 per share.

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 13 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. Defensive Equity Fund (formerly, 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 on days that the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open. A Fund calculates net asset value separately for each class as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). If trading on the NYSE is halted for the day before 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, a Fund's net asset value per share will be calculated as of the time trading was halted.

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 investments 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 investments. 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 investments. Investments also may be valued based on appraisals derived


98



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

from information concerning the investment or similar investments received from recognized dealers in those holdings. Investments 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. Investments 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 investments are traded on more than one exchange, the investments 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 investment, that investment 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 an investment'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 investment; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the investment is purchased and sold. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").

Certain investments 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 investments, the Fund may adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what is believed to be the fair value of these investments 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 investments 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 an investment 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.

The Board has delegated to the UBS Global AM 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.


99



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

The GVC provides reports to the Board at each quarterly meeting regarding any investments 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 investments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are not limited to: foreign investments under some circumstances, as discussed below, securities of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; investments 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 investments that are restricted as to transfer or resale. The need to fair value a Fund's portfolio investments may also result from low trading volume in foreign markets or thinly traded domestic investments, and when a security that 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 an investment'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 investment; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the investment is purchased and sold. Valuing investments at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than valuing investments 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 January 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-01 ("ASU 2013-01"), "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities", replaced Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 ("ASU 2011-11"), "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities". ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2013-01 and its impact, if any, on the Funds' financial statements.

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


100



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 June 30, 2013 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of June 30, 2013, the Fund would be required to post additional collateral or may be required to terminate the contracts and settle any amounts outstanding. The volume of derivatives as disclosed in each Fund's Portfolio of investments is representative of the volume of derivatives outstanding during the year ended June 30, 2013, except for forward foreign currency contracts for UBS International Equity Fund for which the average volume during the year was greater than at year end and for futures contracts for UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund for which the average volume during the year was lower than at year end.

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 realized gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of


102



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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. Portfolio swap: UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund entered into a portfolio swap agreement to obtain exposure to a portfolio of long and short securities. This is a highly specialized activity and a significant aspect of the Fund's investment strategy.

Under the terms of the agreement, the swap is designed to function as a portfolio of direct investments in long and short equity positions. This means that the Fund has the ability to trade in and out of long and short positions within the swap and will receive all of the economic benefits and risks equivalent to direct investments in these positions such as: capital appreciation (depreciation), corporate actions and dividends received and paid, all of which are reflected in the swap value. The swap value also includes interest charges and credits related to the notional values of the long and short positions and cash balances within the swap. These interest charges and credits are based on defined market rates plus or minus a specified spread and are referred to herein as "financing costs". Positions within the swap are reset periodically, usually annually and financing costs are reset monthly. During a reset, any unrealized gains (losses) on positions and accrued financing costs become available for cash settlement between the Fund and the swap counterparty. Cash settlement in and out of the swap may occur at a reset date or any other date, at the discretion of the Fund and counterparty, over the life of the agreement, and is generally determined based on limits and thresholds established at both the Fund and counterparty.

The swap involves additional risks than if the Fund had invested in the underlying positions directly including: the risk that changes in the value of the swap may not correlate perfectly with the underlying long and short securities; credit risk related to the counterparty's failure to perform under contract terms; liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for the swap contract, which may limit the ability of the Fund to close out its position(s); and, documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. The Fund's activities in the portfolio swap are currently concentrated with a single highly rated counterparty. Investing in swaps results in a form of leverage (i.e., the Fund's risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value as recorded on the Statement of assets and liabilities).

The value of the swap is derived from a combination of (i) the net value of the underlying positions, which are valued daily using the last sale or closing prices on the principal exchange on which the securities are traded; (ii) financing costs; (iii) the value of dividends; (iv) cash balances within the swap; and (v) other factors, as applicable. The value of the swap is reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as outstanding swap agreements, at value. Changes in the value of the swap are recognized as changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statement of Operations.

Cash settlements between the Fund and counterparty are recognized as realized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations.

F. 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.

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

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the "initial margin". Subsequent payments, known as "variation margin", are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying futures contracts. Such variation margin is recorded 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.

H. 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 re-

Notes to financial statements

sult in the Fund selling or buying a derivative instrument, security or currency at a price different from current market value.

I. Short sales: UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS U.S. Defensive Equity 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 sale transactions for UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund during the year ended June 30, 2013.

J. Dividends and distributions: It is each Fund's policy to distribute its 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.

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

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

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

L. 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

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 Asset Management (US) Inc., ("UBS Global AM (US)"). The redemption fees retained by the Funds are disclosed in the Statement of changes in net assets. For the year ended June 30, 2013, redemption fees for each Fund amounted to less than $0.01 per share and less than 0.01% of average 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 year ended June 30, 2013 have been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

The Funds may invest in UBS Cash Management Prime Relationship Fund ("Cash Prime"). Cash Prime is offered as a cash management option only to mutual funds and certain other accounts. Distributions received from Cash Prime are reflected as affiliated interest income in the Statement of operations. Amounts relating to those investments at June 30, 2013 and for the year then ended have been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

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

The following Funds have incurred brokerage commissions with UBS AG, an affiliated broker-dealer. Amounts relating to those transactions for the year ended June 30, 2013, were 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 International Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund and UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund loaned securities to certain qualified broker dealers, with the Funds' custodian acting as the Funds' lending agent. Cash collateral received is invested in Private Money Market, which is included in the Fund's Portfolio of investments.

7. Federal income taxes

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

The 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.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of The UBS Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund (formerly, UBS Market Neutral Multi-Strategy Fund), UBS International Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund (formerly, 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 (six of the series comprising The UBS Funds) (collectively the "Funds") as of June 30, 2013, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS International Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund and UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund at June 30, 2013, the results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Board approval of investment advisory agreements
(unaudited)

At the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of The UBS Funds (the "Trust"), held on June 13 and 14, 2013 (the "Meeting"), the Board, including those Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust or UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (the "Advisor") and its affiliates (together, the "Independent Trustees"), considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements (the "Advisory Agreements") between the Trust and the Advisor for the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS Global Frontier Fund, UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, UBS International Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and UBS Core Plus Bond Fund (each a "Fund," and together, the "Funds"). Prior to the Meeting, the Independent Trustees' counsel had sent to the Advisor a request detailing the information that the Independent Trustees wished to receive in connection with their consideration of the continuation of the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees met with their independent counsel, as well as an independent consultant engaged by the Board to assist in the annual Advisory Agreement review process, on June 7, 2013, June 13, 2013 and June 14, 2013, to discuss the materials provided to them in response to the information request, including materials prepared by the Advisor, as well as reports prepared by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper Reports"), an independent statistical compilation company, providing comparative expense information on an actual and contractual basis and comparative performance information for the Funds. The Board also made reference to information and material that had been provided to the Independent Trustees throughout the year at quarterly Board meetings.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services.

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

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


119

(unaudited)

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

Performance.

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

In explaining the performance of the UBS International Equity Fund, the Advisor discussed the factors that had affected the performance of the Fund over the past year. The Advisor stated that stock selection and the underperformance of the Fund's growth sleeve were the primary reasons for the Fund's underperformance compared to its peer universe. The Advisor discussed the Fund's stock selection process and discussed changes to the Fund's strategy that the Advisor was going to propose to the Board. The Advisor stated that it believed that the proposed strategy changes will provide the Fund with a more marketable investment strategy in the future.

The Advisor then discussed the factors that had a negative effect on the relative performance of the UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund during the one-year performance period. The Advisor noted that strategy changes had been implemented for the Fund in October 2012. The Advisor stated that since the transition to the new strategy, the Fund has experienced improved performance. The Advisor reported that the year-to-date performance of the Fund, as of March 31, 2013, placed the Fund in the highest quintile of its Lipper category.

With respect to the performance of the UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund and UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, the Advisor noted that each Fund had a positive return but also noted that each Fund underperformed relative to its peer universe. The Advisor explained that each Fund's relative underperformance as compared to its peers was due to the stock selection. The Advisor noted recent changes that were made that management believed would positively impact performance going forward including improvements to the investment process, changes in senior stock analysts and the employment of a new head of US Equity and Research.

In discussing the performance of the UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund for the one-year performance period, the Advisor explained that stock selection was the primary reason for the Fund's underperformance as compared to its peer universe. In addition to noting the recent changes made with respect to the equity team and enhancements to the investment process, the Advisor also noted that in the beginning of 2013, the Advisor had implemented, after Board approval, an options overlay strategy for the Fund. The Advisor stated that it believed that the changes to the equity team and investment process, as well as the enhancements to the Fund's strategy, would provide improved performance for the Fund.

The Advisor next addressed the relative underperformance of the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund with respect to the Fund's peers. The Fund's weaker relative performance as compared to its peer universe was mostly attributable to


120



The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements
(unaudited)

the Fund's more limited exposure to high yield and emerging market sectors, which were high performing asset classes during the period. The Advisor also noted that although the Fund underperformed as compared to its peers, the Fund outperformed its benchmark index during the period.

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

Fund fees and expenses.

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

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

The Board next considered that the management fee of the UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund was higher than the median of its Lipper expense group on a contractual basis, but noted that the Fund's actual management fee compared favorably with the Fund's peers placing in the first quintile of the Lipper expense group. The Board also considered that the UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund's total expenses were lower than the median of the Fund's expense group.

The Board then discussed the management fee of the UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund. It was noted that the UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund's management fee also was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group on a contractual basis. The Board noted that while the UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund's contractual management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, the Fund's actual management fee and total expenses were each at the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group.

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


121

The Board also reviewed the management fee of the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund and noted that the contractual management fee for the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund was higher than the management fee of several of the funds in its Lipper expense group. The Board, however, noted that the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund's actual management fee and total expenses were the lowest of the Fund's peers, each appearing in the first quintile of the Fund's Lipper expense group.

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

Costs and profitability.

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

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

Economies of scale.

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


122



The UBS Funds

(unaudited)

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

President's letter

August 15, 2013

Dear Shareholder,

When I last wrote to you, in February, I noted that we were beginning to see signs of investors looking to transition some of their assets from traditional fixed income and cash back into risk assets. As the last few months have partly been characterized by increasing investor concern about the commitment of the Federal Reserve Board to its quantitative easing program, the rotation out of fixed income, to a large degree, has not yet occurred. Complicating the decision making process for investors are the inherent behavioral challenges of market timing and whether or not to act now, given the relatively strong year-to-date results for large and small US company stocks and developed international equity markets, while fixed income markets are generally in negative territory.

At UBS Global Asset Management, we have always emphasized the importance of developing an appropriate investment plan and seeing it through. For individual investors, this task has never been easy, and the shift in the dynamics we face going forward requires that investors re-examine how they construct portfolios to meet their long-term goals. A good example, and one worth highlighting, is the current and likely unsustainable low interest rate environment. As a result, regulators, such as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, have mandated greater disclosure of the risks associated with investing in fixed income securities. They want investors to understand that as bond yields rise, bond prices fall. They also want investors to know that slower changes in rates could have less impact, while faster increases would likely mean more dramatic changes in the value of investors' bond portfolios. Consequently, the role of fixed income as a core holding could play a dramatically different role in portfolios, and investors, advisors and consultants are all adapting their approaches to deal with the reality of this dynamic shift.

UBS Global Asset Management remains committed to providing you with an array of flexible, outcome-oriented investment solutions that we believe can dial down the risk and correlations to traditional fixed income and equities, in the pursuit of income and growth. We have remained ahead of these issues, as over the last few years, we have enhanced and refined our mutual fund lineup to meet your evolving investment needs. For example, April marked the one-year anniversary of the launching of 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 and focuses more on loss limitation. UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund looks to generate returns via a strategy that is designed to have lower correlation to the broader equity and fixed income markets and can play an important complementary role in an investor's overall fixed income allocation. These funds complement our overall offering of funds that are designed to meet core and niche market exposure needs for portfolios across traditional equity and fixed income asset classes.

The markets in review

Moderating global growth

While the overall US economy continued to grow during the reporting period, the pace of the expansion was mixed. The Commerce Department reported that gross domestic product ("GDP") growth was 2.8% during the third quarter of 2012 and decelerated to 0.1% in the fourth quarter. However, the economy regained some traction, as GDP grew 1.1% during the first three months of 2013. The Commerce Department's initial estimate for second quarter 2013 GDP growth was 1.7%.1

The Federal Reserve Board (the "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 at an extremely low level between 0% and 0.25%. Looking back, at its December 2012 meeting, the Fed said it would continue buying $40 billion a month of agency mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and 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. The Fed has not materially changed its official policy stance thus far in 2013. However, in his press conference following the Fed's meeting in June, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said "...the Committee currently anticipates that it would be appropriate to moderate the monthly pace of purchases later this year; and if the subsequent data remain broadly aligned with our current expectations for the economy, we would continue to reduce the pace of purchases in measured steps through the first half of next year, ending purchases around midyear." This triggered increased volatility throughout the global financial markets.

Economic growth in countries outside the US often decelerated or remained in recession during the reporting period. In its July 2013 World Economic Outlook Update, released after the reporting period ended, the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") projected that global growth would be 3.1% in 2013, lower than its previous forecast of a 3.3% expansion. From a regional perspective, the IMF anticipated 2013 growth in the eurozone would contract 0.6%. While growth in emerging market countries is expected to remain higher than in their developed country counterparts, the IMF also trimmed its forecast for most emerging market countries.

Most equity markets post strong results

Despite periods of heightened volatility and a late setback, developed market equities produced very strong results during the reporting period. In the US, continued positive economic growth, overall solid corporate profits and largely robust demand supported the market. While equities initially sold off after the Fed's comments about tapering its asset purchase program, this was not enough to offset their earlier gains. All told, the US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,2 gained 20.60% for the 12 months ended June 30, 2013. International equity markets were also impacted by the Fed's policy shift, as well as the ongoing European sovereign debt crisis and geopolitical issues. While international developed equities fell sharply in May and June, they returned 18.62% during the 12-month period, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net).3 Emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net),4 returned 2.87% during the same time period. This relatively weak performance was due to a variety of factors, including fears of a "hard landing" for China's economy, falling commodity prices and rising US interest rates.

3  The MSCI EAFE Index (net) is an index of stocks from different countries designed to measure the investment returns of developed economies outside of North America.

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.

The markets in review

Rising rates negatively impact the fixed income market

US Treasury yields moved higher during the reporting period and negatively impacted the overall bond market (yields and bond prices move in opposite directions). Increasing investor concerns about the commitment of the Fed to its quantitative easing program caused yields to move sharply higher in May and June 2013. Against this backdrop, a number of US taxable spread sectors (non-US Treasury fixed income securities) produced either negative returns or only modest gains during the reporting period. The overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Index,5 declined 0.69% over the 12 months ended June 30, 2013. Looking more closely at lower-rated fixed income securities, high yield bonds generated strong results given largely robust demand from investors looking for incremental yield in the low interest rate environment. All told, the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index6 rose 9.44% during the reporting period. In contrast, emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),7 returned 1.24%. This weak performance was due to a variety of factors, including fears of a "hard landing" for China's economy, falling commodity prices and rising US interest rates.

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

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 12 months ended June 30, 2013, Class A shares of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund (the "Fund") returned 9.05% (Class A shares returned 3.05% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 9.29%. For purposes of comparison, the BofA Merrill Lynch US Treasury 1-5 Year Index declined 0.03% during the same time period, the MSCI World Free Index (net) returned 18.58% and the Citigroup One-Month US Treasury Bill Index returned 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 7; 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 12 months, 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 reporting period.

Portfolio performance summary

What worked1

•  Currency strategies, overall, were positive for performance.

  – A short position in the Australian dollar versus the US dollar was beneficial for results.

  – Long positions in both the Mexican peso and Indian rupee versus the US dollar contributed to performance.

  – Tactically adjusting our exposure to the euro added value.

  – Our long position in the Polish zloty versus the euro was a positive contributor to Fund performance.

•  Our long position in equities aided the Fund's results.

  – Despite a setback toward the end of the reporting period, Japanese equities generated strong results given aggressive actions taken by the Bank of Japan to stimulate growth and end deflation.

  – Overall, a net long position in US equities was additive for results.

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

  – An allocation to investment grade corporate bonds was rewarded, 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 position in Italian bonds was a positive for performance.

UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

•  From a relative value perspective, our preference for US high yield bonds versus US Treasuries aided results.

•  Overall, the Fund's positioning among risk assets was positive for performance during the reporting period.

  – We tactically adjusted the Fund's allocation to equities during the reporting period. We began the reporting period fairly conservatively positioned, with a 22% net equity exposure. In August 2012 we added to this exposure, especially in the UK and Germany, which was beneficial for results. We then pared our equity exposure to capture profits prior to the US November election. Toward the end of 2012, we added back to our exposure, ending the year with a 36% net equity exposure. We further added to this exposure early in 2013, but then reduced this to 17% prior to the February 2013 elections in Italy, as we believed that this could have negatively impacted the markets, which proved to be positive for performance. We then increased the Fund's equity position to nearly a 50% net exposure, due to both adding to equities and allowing the position to drift upward.

  – In late May, we began to trim equities to capture profits. During this time, the equity market experienced a period of weakness and the Fund's position fell to a 24% net exposure. We then tactically added back to the Fund's equity exposure as the markets sold off and ended the reporting period with a 35% net equity exposure. Outside the US, we eliminated our emerging market equity exposure in June. The fixed income market was volatile in June in the wake of the Fed's comments about tapering its asset purchase program. Against this backdrop, we reduced our exposures to investment grade and high yield corporate bonds.

What didn't work

•  A couple of the Fund's currency positions were negative for the period.

  – A long position in the South African rand modestly detracted from results during the reporting period.

  – Our short position in the Swiss franc versus the euro was a negative for Fund performance.

•  Our equity relative value trade modestly detracted from results. Our preference for both international developed and emerging market equities over US equities was not rewarded, as US equities outperformed their international counterparts given concerns about moderating global growth, the European sovereign debt crisis and falling commodity prices.

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.

1  Inception date of all share classes of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund is January 27, 2005. Inception date of the indices, for the purpose of this illustration, is January 31, 2005.

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 BofA Merrill Lynch US Treasury 1-5 Year Index is an unmanaged index designed to track US Treasury securities with maturities between 1 and 5 years. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

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. 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.

7  The Citigroup One-Month US Treasury Bill Index is an unmanaged index representing monthly return equivalents of yield averages of the last 1 month Treasury Bill issue. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

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

Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

Illustration of an assumed investment of $10,000 in Class A shares (adjusted for 5.5% maximum sales charge) and $5,000,000 in Class Y shares (unaudited)

The following two graphs depict the performance of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund Class A and Class Y shares versus the BofA Merrill Lynch US Treasury 1-5 Year Index, the MSCI World Free Index (net) and the Citigroup One-Month US Treasury Bill Index from January 27, 2005, which is the inception date of the two classes, through June 30, 2013. The performance of Class C shares will vary based upon the different class specific expenses and sales charges. The performance provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price and returns will vary with market conditions; investors may realize a gain or loss upon redemption.

UBS Global Allocation Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2013, Class A shares of UBS Global Allocation Fund (the "Fund") returned 9.86% (Class A shares returned 3.83% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 10.22%. The Fund's benchmark, the GSMI Mutual Fund Index (the "Index"), returned 9.67% during the same time period. For comparison purposes, the Russell 3000 Index returned 21.46%, the MSCI World Free Index (net) returned 18.58%, and the Citigroup World Government Bond Index declined 4.50% 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 26; 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, security selection and currency positioning.

During the review period, we used derivatives for risk management purposes and as a tool to help enhance returns across various strategies. In relation to our currency strategy, derivatives had a direct positive impact on Fund performance. Derivatives were 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

•  An overweight to Japanese equities added to performance. Despite a setback toward the end of the reporting period, Japanese equities generated strong results given aggressive actions taken by the Bank of Japan to stimulate growth and end deflation.

•  Positioning in a number of fixed income sectors aided the Fund's results. A preference for high yield and investment grade corporate bonds over US Treasuries was rewarded 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.

•  Security selection, overall, was positive for performance. US large cap core/value equities and international core equities security selection was additive for results.

•  Currency strategies, overall, were positive for performance.

  – A short position in the Australian dollar versus the US dollar was beneficial for results.

  – Long positions in both the Mexican peso and Indian rupee versus the US dollar contributed to performance during the reporting period.

  – Tactically adjusting our exposure to the euro added value.

  – Our long position in the Polish zloty versus the euro was a positive contributor to performance.

1  For a detailed commentary on the market environment in general during the reporting period, see page 3.


24



UBS Global Allocation Fund

•  Overall, the Fund's positioning among risk assets was positive for performance 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 detracted from results as equity markets rallied. During the fourth quarter of 2012, we moved to an overweight in equities, as economic data somewhat improved, and ended the year with a 69% allocation to equities. In early January, we increased the Fund's allocation to 72% and then pared it to 68% at the end of the month. During the second quarter of 2013, we further increased our equity overweight. However, we reduced this exposure and moved to a slight underweight position in June. The Fund ended the reporting period with a 64% allocation to equities and a 36% allocation to global fixed income and cash.

  – The fixed income market was volatile in June in the wake of the Federal Reserve Board's comments about tapering its asset purchase program. Against this backdrop, we moved from an overweight to a neutral position in investment grade corporate bonds and modestly pared our high yield bond exposure.

What didn't work

•  A couple of the Fund's currency positions were negative for the period.

  – A long position in the South African rand modestly detracted from results.

  – Our short in the Swiss franc versus the euro was a negative for performance.

•  A bias toward non-US equities versus US equities modestly detracted from results. Our preference for both international developed equities and emerging market equities was not rewarded, as they lagged their US counterparts given concerns about moderating global growth, the European sovereign debt crisis and falling commodity prices.

•  Security selection in certain areas was not beneficial to performance. Our international all cap growth equities and emerging market core equities security selection was not rewarded 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—1.31% 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. 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 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 designed to measure the performance of fixed-rate, local currency, investment-grade sovereign bonds with a one-year minimum maturity. 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, and is a composite of five indexes compiled by independent data providers: 65% MSCI All-Country World Index (net), 15% Citigroup World Government Bond Ex US Index, 15% Citigroup US Government Bond Index, 2% JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global) and 3% BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index.

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

Past performance does not predict future performance, and the performance information provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

Portfolio footnotes

*  Non-income producing security.

1  Security, or portion thereof, was on loan at June 30, 2013.

2  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.

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

4  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. This security is considered liquid, unless noted otherwise, and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At June 30, 2013, the value of this security amounted to $3,925,140 or 0.56% of net assets.

UBS Global Frontier Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2013, Class A shares of UBS Global Frontier Fund (the "Fund") returned 12.98% (Class A shares returned 6.80% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 13.21%. The Fund's benchmark, the GSMI Mutual Fund Index (the "Index"), returned 9.67% over the same time period. For comparison purposes, the MSCI World Free Index (net) returned 18.58%. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 41; please note that 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 strong absolute return during the reporting period. Performance was primarily due to market allocation strategy, security selection, currency positioning 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 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

•  An overweight to Japanese equities added to performance. Despite a setback toward the end of the reporting period, Japanese equities generated strong results given aggressive actions taken by the Bank of Japan to stimulate growth and end deflation.

•  Positioning in a number of fixed income sectors aided the Fund's results. A preference for high yield and investment grade corporate bonds over US Treasuries was rewarded, 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.

•  Security selection, overall, was positive for performance. US large cap core value equities and international core equities security selection was additive for results.

•  Currency strategies, overall, were positive for performance.

  – A short position in the Australian dollar versus the US dollar was beneficial for results.

  – Long positions in both the Mexican peso and Indian rupee versus the US dollar contributed to performance during the reporting period.

  – Tactically adjusting our exposure to the euro added value.

  – Our long position in the Polish zloty versus the euro was a positive contributor to performance.

•  Overall, the Fund's positioning among risk assets was positive for performance 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 Index. The initial underweight detracted

UBS Global Frontier Fund

from results as equity markets rallied. During the fourth quarter of 2012, we moved to an overweight in equities as economic data somewhat improved, and ended the year with a 69% allocation to equities. In early January, we increased the Fund's allocation to 72% and then pared it to 68% at the end of the month. During the second quarter of 2013, we further increased our equity overweight. However, we reduced this exposure and moved to a slight underweight position in June. The Fund ended the reporting period with a 64% allocation to equities and a 36% allocation to global fixed income and cash.

  – The fixed income market was volatile in June in the wake of the Federal Reserve Board's comments about tapering its asset purchase program. Against this backdrop, we moved from an overweight to a neutral position in investment grade corporate bonds and modestly pared our high yield bond exposure.

•  Leverage contributed to performance during the reporting 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 beneficial to the Fund's results.

What didn't work

•  A couple of the Fund's currency positions were negative for the reporting period.

  – A long position in the South African rand modestly detracted from results.

  – Our short in the Swiss franc versus the euro was a negative for performance.

•  A bias toward non-US equities versus US equities modestly detracted from results. Our preference for both international developed equities and emerging market equities was not rewarded, as they lagged their US counterparts given concerns about moderating global growth, the European sovereign debt crisis and falling commodity prices.

Security selection in certain areas was not beneficial to performance. Our international all cap growth equities and emerging market core equities security selection was not rewarded 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—1.85% 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, and is a composite of five indexes compiled by independent data providers: 65% MSCI All-Country World Index (net), 15% Citigroup World Government Bond Ex US Index, 15% Citigroup US Government Bond Index, 2% JPMorgan 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 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. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit http://globalam-us.ubs.com/corpweb/performance.do.

Illustration of an assumed investment of $10,000 in Class A shares (adjusted for 5.5% maximum sales charge) and $5,000,000 in Class Y shares (unaudited)

The following two graphs depict the performance of UBS Global Frontier Fund Class A and Class Y shares versus the MSCI World Free Index (net) and the GSMI Mutual Fund Index from July 26, 2007, which is the inception date of the two classes, through June 30, 2013. The performance of Class C shares will vary based upon the different class specific expenses and sales charges. The performance provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price and returns will vary with market conditions; investors may realize a gain or loss upon redemption.

Portfolio of investments

June 30, 2013

Portfolio footnotes

*  Non-income producing security.

1  Security, or portion thereof, was on loan at June 30, 2013.

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

3  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. This security is considered liquid, unless noted otherwise, and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At June 30, 2013, the value of this security amounted to $157,833 or 0.44% of net assets.

4  The table below details the Fund's investments in funds advised by the same advisor as the Fund. The advisor does not earn a management fee from the affiliated UBS Relationship Funds.

UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2013, Class A shares of UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund (the "Fund") returned 3.98% (Class A shares declined 0.69% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 4.23%. For comparison purposes, the Barclays US Corporate Investment Grade Index (the "Index"), returned 1.36% 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 54; 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 12 months ended June 30, 2013, the Fund's yield was 3.76% and 4.01% for Class A and Class Y shares, respectively. We believe this was an attractive level of income, given the relatively 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 and international equities. Additionally, we utilized derivatives, including currency forwards, to hedge our exposures to the euro and British pound as well as futures to shorten duration in the portfolio. In summary, while our derivatives exposure was limited in the portfolio, our ability to increase cash flow and manage unwanted risks relating to currency and duration positively contributed to our ability to meet our low-to-moderate risk targets.

Portfolio performance summary2

What worked

•  The Fund's high yield corporate bond exposure was beneficial for performance. Despite a setback late in the fiscal year, the Fund's high yield bond allocation was a key contributor to performance. The sector was supported by generally solid investor demand, positive fundamentals and low defaults. However, a portion of the Fund's previous gains were given back in May and June, due to a sharp sell-off in the fixed income market. This was triggered by the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") indicating that it may begin to taper its asset purchase program, known as quantitative easing or QE, sooner than previously anticipated.

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

•  Overall, the Fund's allocation to global real estate, with call overwriting,3 at times, was an important contributor to performance.

  – Similarly to the high yield bond market, global real estate was also negatively impacted by the Fed's tapering comments, as this led to a sharp sell-off in high dividend paying equities. Regardless, our allocation, overall, was a positive for both yield and total return performance during the 12-month reporting period.

  – We reduced our allocation, from a high of roughly 20%, to 10% of the Fund's assets during the fiscal year as the asset class exhibited strong performance, in order to capture profits and manage the Fund's overall risk exposure.

  – We utilized call overwriting at times during the fiscal year to increase the Fund's cash flow and help manage the Fund's risk exposure.

•  An allocation to international and US dividend-paying stocks was beneficial for the Fund's performance.

  – Throughout the reporting period, the Fund maintained roughly a 5%-7% allocation to international dividend stocks. Despite weak performance in May and June, overall they positively contributed to both yield and total returns.

  – We increased the Fund's exposure to US high dividend stocks, from 2% to 8% late in the reporting period amid the market's downturn to take advantage of more compelling valuations and higher yields.

•  The Fund's exposure to global infrastructure stocks was rewarded. Approximately 5% of the Fund's assets were invested in global infrastructure stocks during the fiscal year. In particular, we emphasized securities with roughly 5.5%-6.0% yields, delivered through the combination of secure, long-term and operational contracts with intrinsic inflation protection, which continued to be an attractive prospect for yield-seeking investors.

•  Our asset allocation strategies were successful in generating income and maintaining a lower risk profile.

  – The Fund's tactical asset allocation strategy was rewarded, as it helped the Fund outperform the Index and achieve its risk-managed income target during the reporting period.

  – The Fund's standard deviation, a measure of market volatility, of 6.11% was in line with its low-to-moderate volatility range.

What didn't work

•  The Fund's exposure to emerging markets debt (EMD) detracted from results during the reporting period.

  – After generating strong results during the first half of the fiscal year, the EMD asset class performed poorly during the second half of the reporting period, as we increased our allocation. This turnaround was triggered by rising US interest rates, concerns regarding China's economy and falling commodity prices.

  – We reduced our allocation to EMD from a high of roughly 15% to 4% of the Fund's assets at the end of the reporting period, as our outlook for the asset class became less positive and we moved to allocate the assets into areas of the market where we had higher convictions.

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.

UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund

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

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.

Portfolio footnotes

*  Non-income producing security.

1  Variable or floating rate security—The interest rate shown is the current rate as of June 30, 2013 and changes periodically.

2  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.

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

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.

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

Explanation of expense disclosure

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

The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013.

Actual expenses

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

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

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

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

This projection assumes that annualized expense ratios were in effect during the period January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013.

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

2  Total investment return is calculated assuming a $10,000 investment on the first day of each year 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 year reported. The figures do not include any applicable sales charges; results would be lower if they were included. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund 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 13 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, 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 on days that the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open. A Fund calculates net asset value separately for each class as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). If trading on the NYSE is halted for the day before 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, a Fund's net asset value per share will be calculated as of the time trading was halted.

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 investments 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 investments. 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 investments. Investments also may be valued based on appraisals derived from information concerning the investment or similar investments received from recognized dealers in those holdings. Investments

Notes to financial statements

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. Investments 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 investments are traded on more than one exchange, the investments 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 investment, that investment 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 an investment'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 investment; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the investment is purchased and sold. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").

Certain investments 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 investments, the Fund may adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what is believed to be the fair value of these investments 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 investments 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 an investment is valued at "fair value," that value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the investment. 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 AM 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 investments 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 investments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are not limited to: foreign investments under some circumstances, as discussed below, investments of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; investments 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 investments that are restricted as to transfer or resale. The need to fair value a Fund's portfolio investments may also result from low trading volume in foreign markets or thinly traded domestic investments, and when a security that 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 an investment'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 investment; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the investment is purchased and sold. Valuing investments at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than valuing investments 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 January 2013, Accounting Standards Update 2013-01 ("ASU 2013-01"), "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities", replaced Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 ("ASU 2011-11"), "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities". ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. ASU 2011-11 was intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. ASU 2013-01 limits the scope of the new balance sheet offsetting disclosures to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2013-01 and its impact, if any, on the Fund's financial statements.

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


88



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 June 30, 2013 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of June 30, 2013, the Fund would be required to post additional collateral or may be required to terminate the contracts and settle any amounts outstanding. 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). The volume of derivatives as disclosed in each Fund's Portfolio of investments is representative of the volume of derivatives outstanding during the year ended June 30, 2013.

Disclosure of derivatives by underlying risk as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013 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 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.

Notes to financial statements

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 realized gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency-denominated securities pursuant to US federal income tax regulations. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with US federal income tax regulations.

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

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

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

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

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the "initial margin".


94



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the futures contract is closed or expires, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures.

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

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

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

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

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


95



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of June 30, 2013 for which a Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed under the section "Credit default swaps on corporate—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.

Certain clearinghouses currently offer clearing for limited types of derivatives transactions, such as interest and credit derivatives. In a cleared derivative transaction, a Fund typically enters into the transaction with a financial institution counterparty, and performance of the transaction is effectively guaranteed by a central clearinghouse, thereby reducing or eliminating the Fund's exposure to the credit risk of its original counterparty. The Fund will be required to post specified levels of margin with the clearinghouse or at the instruction of the clearinghouse; the margin required by a clearinghouse may be greater than the margin the Fund would be required to post in an uncleared transaction. Only a limited number of transactions are currently eligible for clearing. Centrally cleared swaps, if any, are reported on the Statement of assets and liabilities based on variation margin receivable or payable, if any.

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 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


96



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 year ended June 30, 2013, there were no short positions held by UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund.

L. Dividends and distributions: It is each Fund's (except UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund) policy to distribute its 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.


97



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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

N. Commission recapture program: The Funds participate in a brokerage commission recapture program. The Funds have established commission recapture arrangements with certain participating brokers or dealers. If a Fund's investment manager chooses to execute a transaction through a participating broker subject to best price and execution, the broker will rebate a portion of the commission back to the Fund. Any collateral benefit received through participation in the commission recapture program is directed exclusively to the Fund. For the year ended June 30, 2013, 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. For the year ended June 30, 2013, redemption fees for each Fund amounted to less than $0.01 per share and less than 0.01% of average net assets.

2. Investment advisory fees and other transactions with affiliates

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

Notes to financial statements

Prime are reflected as affiliated interest income in the Statement of operations. Amounts relating to those investments at June 30, 2013 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 June 30, 2013 and for the year then ended have been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

The following Funds have incurred brokerage commissions with UBS AG, an affiliated broker-dealer. Amounts relating to those transactions for the year ended June 30, 2013, were 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 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.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 were as follows:

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

As of and during the year ended June 30, 2013, the Funds did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended June 30, 2013, 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 year ended June 30, 2013.

10. Subsequent Event Note

In August 2013, the Board approved changes to reposition UBS Global Frontier Fund, including changing its name, adding portfolio managers and modifying certain investment strategies, which are expected to become effective on or about October 30, 2013. Specifically, the Fund's name is expected to change from UBS Global Frontier Fund to UBS Asset Growth Fund. The UBS Asset Growth Fund would adopt an explicit managed volatility strategy and achieve passive exposure to underlying asset classes primarily by investing in derivatives and other funds, including exchange-traded funds.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of The UBS Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS Global Frontier Fund and UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund (four of the series comprising The UBS Funds) (collectively the "Funds") as of June 30, 2013, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS Global Frontier Fund and UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund at June 30, 2013, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the indicated periods, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Board approval of investment advisory agreements
(unaudited)

At the meeting of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of The UBS Funds (the "Trust"), held on June 13 and 14, 2013 (the "Meeting"), the Board, including those Trustees who are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust or UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (the "Advisor") and its affiliates (together, the "Independent Trustees"), considered the continuation of the investment advisory agreements (the "Advisory Agreements") between the Trust and the Advisor for the UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, UBS Global Frontier Fund, UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, UBS International Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund, UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and UBS Core Plus Bond Fund (each a "Fund," and together, the "Funds"). Prior to the Meeting, the Independent Trustees' counsel had sent to the Advisor a request detailing the information that the Independent Trustees wished to receive in connection with their consideration of the continuation of the Advisory Agreements. The Independent Trustees met with their independent counsel, as well as an independent consultant engaged by the Board to assist in the annual Advisory Agreement review process, on June 7, 2013, June 13, 2013 and June 14, 2013, to discuss the materials provided to them in response to the information request, including materials prepared by the Advisor, as well as reports prepared by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper Reports"), an independent statistical compilation company, providing comparative expense information on an actual and contractual basis and comparative performance information for the Funds. The Board also made reference to information and material that had been provided to the Independent Trustees throughout the year at quarterly Board meetings.

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

Nature, extent, and quality of services.

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

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


109

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

Performance.

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

In explaining the performance of the UBS International Equity Fund, the Advisor discussed the factors that had affected the performance of the Fund over the past year. The Advisor stated that stock selection and the underperformance of the Fund's growth sleeve were the primary reasons for the Fund's underperformance compared to its peer universe. The Advisor discussed the Fund's stock selection process and discussed changes to the Fund's strategy that the Advisor was going to propose to the Board. The Advisor stated that it believed that the proposed strategy changes will provide the Fund with a more marketable investment strategy in the future.

The Advisor then discussed the factors that had a negative effect on the relative performance of the UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund during the one-year performance period. The Advisor noted that strategy changes had been implemented for the Fund in October 2012. The Advisor stated that since the transition to the new strategy, the Fund has experienced improved performance. The Advisor reported that the year-to-date performance of the Fund, as of March 31, 2013, placed the Fund in the highest quintile of its Lipper category.

With respect to the performance of the UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund and UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund, the Advisor noted that each Fund had a positive return but also noted that each Fund underperformed relative to its peer universe. The Advisor explained that each Fund's relative underperformance as compared to its peers was due to the stock selection. The Advisor noted recent changes that were made that management believed would positively impact performance going forward including improvements to the investment process, changes in senior stock analysts and the employment of a new head of US Equity and Research.

In discussing the performance of the UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund for the one-year performance period, the Advisor explained that stock selection was the primary reason for the Fund's underperformance as compared to its peer universe. In addition to noting the recent changes made with respect to the equity team and enhancements to the investment process, the Advisor also noted that in the beginning of 2013, the Advisor had implemented, after Board approval, an options overlay strategy for the Fund. The Advisor stated that it believed that the changes to the equity team and investment process, as well as the enhancements to the Fund's strategy, would provide improved performance for the Fund.

The Advisor next addressed the relative underperformance of the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund with respect to the Fund's peers. The Fund's weaker relative performance as compared to its peer universe was mostly attributable to


110



The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements
(unaudited)

the Fund's more limited exposure to high yield and emerging market sectors, which were high performing asset classes during the period. The Advisor also noted that although the Fund underperformed as compared to its peers, the Fund outperformed its benchmark index during the period.

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

Fund fees and expenses.

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

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

The Board next considered that the management fee of the UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund was higher than the median of its Lipper expense group on a contractual basis, but noted that the Fund's actual management fee compared favorably with the Fund's peers placing in the first quintile of the Lipper expense group. The Board also considered that the UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund's total expenses were lower than the median of the Fund's expense group.

The Board then discussed the management fee of the UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund. It was noted that the UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund's management fee also was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group on a contractual basis. The Board noted that while the UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund's contractual management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, the Fund's actual management fee and total expenses were each at the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group.

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


111

The Board also reviewed the management fee of the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund and noted that the contractual management fee for the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund was higher than the management fee of several of the funds in its Lipper expense group. The Board, however, noted that the UBS Core Plus Bond Fund's actual management fee and total expenses were the lowest of the Fund's peers, each appearing in the first quintile of the Fund's Lipper expense group.

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

Costs and profitability.

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

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

Economies of scale.

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


112

(unaudited)

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

The Audit Committee Charter contains the Audit Committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures.  Reproduced below is an excerpt from the Audit Committee Charter regarding pre-approval policies and procedures:

 

To carry out its purposes, the Audit Committee shall have the following duties and powers:

 

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

 

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

 

(c)          To pre-approve all non-audit services to be provided by the UBS Funds’ independent auditors to the UBS Funds’ investment advisor or to any entity, that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the UBS Funds investment advisor (“advisor affiliate”) and that provides ongoing services to the UBS Funds when, without such pre-approval by the

 



 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(e) (2) Services approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X:
