President's letter

August 14, 2014

Dear Shareholder,

Investors cheered earlier this year as the bull market in US equities turned five years old. It has been a remarkable five years for US equity investors. In the depths of the "Great Recession," on March 9, 2009, the S&P 500 closed at 676.53, but on the same date this year, the index closed at 1,878.04, a gain of 178%. The anniversary of the equity bull market has inspired much reflection among investors, as opposing arguments have formed about the longevity of the market going forward.

Currently, both bullish and bearish investors have compelling arguments to support their positions. The case for a continuation of the bull market rests on expectations of low inflation, continued economic and corporate growth, and rising equity valuations. In this view, further equity market gains will be driven by a low inflationary environment, downward trending unemployment, continued consumer deleveraging and rising confidence, as well as increasing capital expenditures as corporations begin to focus on expansion. Conversely, the case for a market correction rests on assumptions of declining valuations, deteriorating profit margins and earnings disappointments. Those who support this view believe that a market correction could be led by rising interest rates, equity valuations that may appear to be overstretched versus historical averages and profit margins that, while currently above historical levels, may regress back toward their long-term mean. For mutual fund shareholders, however, long-term success will have less to do with how long the equity bull market runs and more with a long-term investment approach that will help achieve their desired outcomes despite the ups and downs of markets.

At UBS Global Asset Management, we are focused on managing funds that achieve our clients' objectives through sustainable investment outcomes. In addition to single-strategy, equity and fixed-income products, we have added funds that utilize innovative diversifiers intended to soften the impact of market swings. These funds diversify risk through strategies that are not bound by benchmarks, are expected often to benefit from both rising and falling security prices, and utilize cost-effective defensive investment strategies. UBS Global Asset Management was among the early leaders to evolve its product offerings with the intention of providing sustainable returns in up and down markets using these strategies. We believe that diversification is paramount to successful investment outcomes, irrespective of market conditions, and we will continue to offer clients products that aim to mitigate downside risk and provide durable returns through both up and down market cycles.

I am pleased to share that the client focus, investment discipline and strength of our firm recently garnered a prestigious accolade from Euromoney magazine. In its July 2014 issue, Euromoney named UBS "Best Global Bank," describing our firm as "a global wealth manager first and foremost, underpinned by a Swiss universal bank and a powerful asset management business...." This award is just one measure of how UBS is succeeding as a business by focusing on meeting clients' needs.

We embrace the responsibility of helping our clients meet their financial objectives and thank you for your continued trust in our skill and commitment to serve you.

Sincerely,

The markets in review

Improving growth in the developed world

After three consecutive years of generally modest growth, the overall US economy contracted in the first quarter of 2014. Looking back, gross domestic product ("GDP") in the US grew at annualized rates of 4.5% and 3.5% during the third and fourth quarters of 2013, respectively. The Commerce Department then reported that first quarter 2014 GDP contracted at a 2.1% annualized rate. This was the first negative reading since the first quarter of 2011 and the downturn was partially attributed to severe winter weather in parts of the country. However, this proved to be a temporary setback for the economy, as GDP growth was 4.0% during the second quarter of 2014.1

The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") took a number of actions during the reporting period. In December 2013, the Fed announced that it would begin paring back its monthly asset purchases, stating "Beginning in January, the Committee will add to its holdings of agency mortgage-backed securities at a [reduced] pace of $35 billion per month rather than $40 billion per month, and will add to its holdings of longer-term Treasury securities at a [reduced] pace of $40 billion per month rather than $45 billion per month." At its meetings in January, March, April and June 2014, the Fed said it would further taper its asset purchases, in each case paring its total purchases a total of $10 billion per month. Beginning in July, it will buy a total of $35 billion per month ($15 billion per month of agency mortgage-backed securities and $20 billion per month of longer-term Treasuries). In the Fed's official statement it stated, "Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in April indicates that growth in economic activity has rebounded in recent months. Labor market indicators generally showed further improvement. The unemployment rate, though lower, remains elevated. Household spending appears to be rising moderately and business fixed investment resumed its advance, while the recovery in the housing sector remained slow."

Growth outside the US generally improved. In its April 2014 World Economic Outlook Update, the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") reported that "Global activity has broadly strengthened and is expected to improve further in 2014-15, with much of the impetus coming from advanced economies." From a regional perspective, the IMF anticipates 2014 growth will be 1.2% in the Eurozone, versus a 0.5% contraction in 2013. Economic activity in Japan is expected to be relatively stable, with growth of 1.4% in 2014, compared with 1.5% in 2013. After decelerating in 2013, the IMF projects that overall growth in emerging market countries will experience an uptick to 4.9% in 2014, versus 4.7% in 2013.

The markets in review

The fixed income market performs well

The fixed income market surprised many investors, as it posted positive results during the reporting period as a whole. During the first half of the period, US Treasury yields moved higher and negatively impacted the overall bond market (yields and bond prices move in opposite directions). This was due to a number of factors, including continued economic growth and expectations that the Fed would begin tapering its asset purchase program. However, as discussed, the US economy weakened during the first quarter of 2014, and geopolitical concerns triggered several flights to quality. All told, the yield on the 10-year Treasury fell from 3.04% to 2.53% during the first six months of 2014. The overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Index,2 gained 4.37% during the 12 month reporting period and the US taxable spread sectors (non-US Treasury fixed income securities) generated positive absolute returns. Taking on greater risk was often rewarded, as investors looked to generate incremental yield in the low interest rate environment. For example, high yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index3 rose 11.70% during the reporting period. Elsewhere, emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),4 gained 11.05%.

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 capitalization weighted, so that larger bond issuers have a greater effect on the index's return. However, the representation of any single bond issuer 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, 2014, Class A shares of UBS Core Plus Bond Fund (the "Fund") gained 5.68% (Class A shares returned 0.92% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares gained 6.08%. The Fund's benchmark, the Barclays US Aggregate Index (the "Index"), returned 4.37% over the same time period. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 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.)

The Fund posted a positive return and outperformed the Index during the reporting period, largely due to sector allocation and issue selection.

The Fund used derivatives during the reporting period. Certain interest rate derivatives were utilized to facilitate specific duration and yield curve strategies. Credit derivatives (such as credit default swaps and options on credit default swaps) were used to implement specific credit-related investment strategies as part of the Fund's sector allocation and security selection. Throughout the period, the Fund engaged in foreign exchange forwards to help implement its active currency positions. Derivatives play a role in the overall portfolio construction process, but are just one of the tools we use to manage the Fund's overall risk exposure and to implement the aforementioned strategies. That said, overall, spread sector1 management was additive to performance, duration and yield curve positioning detracted from performance, and currency management produced mixed results, but on the balance was moderately negative.

Portfolio performance summary2

What worked

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

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

•  An allocation to high yield corporate bonds was beneficial. The Fund tactically had an out-of-Index exposure to high yield bonds, which benefited performance over the reporting period. High yield corporate bonds were supported by the low default environment and investor demand for income and yield oriented assets.

•  Security selection was additive to performance.

  – Security selection of investment grade corporate bonds and CMBS contributed to performance.

  – Within the investment grade corporate bond sector we generally maintained exposure to select industrial and financial credits, which benefited performance.

1  A spread sector refers to non-government fixed income sectors, such as investment grade or high yield bonds, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), etc.

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

UBS Core Plus Bond Fund

What didn't work

•  From a currency perspective, our positioning in the euro detracted from results.

  – We traded the euro with a bias toward being short. This detracted from results, as the euro strengthened versus the US dollar over the 12 month period.

•  Duration positioning in the latter half of the reporting period was negative for results. We generally maintained a short duration bias during the first half of 2014. This was not rewarded, as interest rates fell due to weaker than expected economic data and geopolitical concerns.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2013 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.59% and 0.65%; Class C—2.03% and 1.15%; Class Y—1.21% 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, 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, 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.

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.

June 30, 2014

4  Step bond—Coupon rate increases in increments to maturity. Rate disclosed is as of June 30, 2014. Maturity date disclosed is the ultimate maturity date.

5  Security is being fair valued by a valuation committee under the direction of the Board of Trustees. At June 30, 2014, the value of this security amounted to $225,000 or 0.75% of net assets.

6  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.

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

8  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, 2014, the value of this security amounted to $143,875 or 0.48% of net assets.

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.

UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2014, Class A shares of UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund (the "Fund") returned 4.65% (Class A shares declined 0.09% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 5.01%. For comparison purposes, the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global) gained 11.05%, and the Emerging Markets Debt Benchmark Index (the "Index") returned 7.46% 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 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.)

Comments below relate to the Fund's positioning and performance relative to the Index, which represents investments in both US dollar-denominated and local currency debt.

The emerging markets debt asset class was weak during the first half of the reporting period, but then rallied sharply and generated strong results for the 12-months ended June 30, 2014. The asset class was initially weak due to concerns about decelerating global growth, geopolitical issues and rising US interest rates. However, the asset class moved sharply higher over the last five months of the reporting period as investor demand was largely robust, US interest rates declined and China's economy appeared to stabilize. Over the 12 month period, US dollar denominated emerging markets debt substantially outperformed local currency denominated emerging markets debt. While the Fund generated a positive absolute return, it underperformed the Index, partially due to its overweight to emerging markets local currencies.

The Fund used a number of derivatives during the reporting period, the following of which were more commonly utilized. Certain foreign exchange instruments, including currency forwards and options, were utilized to manage the Fund's currency exposure. Overall, the Fund's currency allocations detracted from performance. The Fund also utilized interest rate derivatives, including US Treasury futures and interest rate swaps, to adjust its duration and yield curve positioning. In aggregate, the Fund's duration and yield curve positioning were negative for performance. Credit default swaps and credit-linked notes were used to express our views regarding specific country exposures, as well as for hedging purposes. Overall, the Fund's country allocation and spread sector1 management were negative for its performance. Although 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.

Portfolio performance summary2

What worked

•  An overweight to US dollar-denominated debt from Sri Lanka and Belarus contributed to performance. Investor demand was solid overall given attractive yields.

•  The Fund's overweights to certain quasi-sovereign debt was rewarded. In particular, the Fund's allocations in Indonesia, India and Venezuela were additive for performance.

1  A spread sector refers to non-government fixed income sectors, such as investment grade or high yield bonds, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), etc.

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

UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund

•  A small overweight in Russian local debt was a modest contributor to results. While performance was volatile given geopolitical issues, overall the Fund's exposure to Russian local debt was slightly positive for performance. While we continue to have a favorable view of the country's debt overall, given the recent implementation of sanctions against Russia, our future investments may be more constrained if the magnitude and range of sanctions increase.

What didn't work

•  Underweights to Mexican local and US dollar-denominated debt hurt performance. This positioning was a drag on results, as these bonds rallied when US Treasury yields declined during the second half of the reporting period.

•  The Fund's allocation to longer-term Brazilian local debt was negative for results. Brazil's local debt performed poorly overall due to negative economic sentiment, fears of higher inflation and a severe unwinding of positions from foreign investors. While Brazil's local debt rallied during the second half of the reporting period, when US interest rates declined, it was not enough to offset earlier losses.

•  A lack of exposure to certain Eastern European countries detracted from performance. The Fund's underweights to Hungarian and Polish local debt was a drag on performance. This positioning hurt results as these bonds rallied late in the period, partially driven by aggressive actions by the European Central Bank to stimulate growth.

•  An overweight to Ghana local debt was not beneficial as it performed poorly.

•  The Fund's small duration underweight was modestly negative for performance.

•  An overweight to the Russian ruble detracted from the Fund's results. On the whole, the currency depreciated during the 12 month period due to negative investor sentiment about escalating tensions between Russia and the west over the situation in Ukraine.

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, 2023, 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.

Portfolio footnotes

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, 2014, the value of these securities amounted to $8,405,551 or 36.29% of net assets.

2  Variable or floating rate security—the interest rate shown is the current rate as of June 30, 2014 and changes periodically.

3  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, 2014, the value of these securities amounted to $1,871,963 or 8.08% of net assets.

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 government security of the same maturity.

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

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 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 agreement less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or 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 agreement 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, 2014, Class A shares of UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") declined 1.14% (Class A shares fell 5.58% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares declined 0.99%. For comparison purposes, The BofA Merrill Lynch US Dollar 3-Month Deposit Offered Rate Constant Maturity Index (the "Index") gained 0.26% 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.)

The Fund generated a negative return during the reporting period. Factors driving this weak performance included interest rate strategies, exposure to emerging markets debt and active currency management. These negatives more than offset the positive impact from the Fund's credit assets.

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, credit default swaptions and, to a more limited extent, total return swaps 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 active interest rate strategies detracted from results. While most spread sector1 hedging strategies generally detracted from performance, spread management overall was additive to results. Currency positioning negatively contributed to results during the reporting period.

Portfolio performance summary2

What worked

•  The Fund's allocation to several spread sectors was positive for results during the reporting period.

  – The Fund's allocations to corporate bonds were rewarded. High yield bonds in particular performed very well as investors sought additional yield in the low interest rate environment. Credit markets experienced strong fundamentals as defaults and volatility remained low, while demand for new issuance was high.

  – Securitized assets contributed to performance during the period, particularly the Fund's holdings of commercial mortgage-backed securities, as they outperformed other spread products. We think these securities offer the most attractive yield profiles on a risk-adjusted basis. Mortgage-backed securities also contributed to performance during the period.

  – The Fund's allocation to collateralized loan obligations, which were tactically traded and increased over the period, contributed modestly to results.

1  A spread sector refers to non-government fixed income sectors, such as investment grade or high yield bonds, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), etc.

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


31



UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund

What didn't work

•  The Fund's allocation to emerging markets debt detracted from performance. The Fund's exposure to US dollar-denominated emerging-market bonds detracted from performance in the first part of the reporting period, but was additive in recent months. Growth in emerging markets slowed considerably as some developing countries dealt with structural problems, while the initial delay of the US Federal Reserve Board's tapering of its asset-purchase program increased volatility globally.

•  Interest rate strategies generally detracted from results during the reporting period. The Fund was generally positioned for higher US interest rates and higher volatility in interest rate markets, neither of which materialized during the reporting period.

•  Overall, currency positioning was a negative for performance. We traded the euro with a bias toward short positioning versus the US dollar. This detracted from results as the euro remained resilient and strengthened versus the US dollar during the reporting period.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2013 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.52% and 1.05%; Class C—2.02% and 1.55%; Class Y—1.23% and 0.80%. 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, 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 Deposit Offered Rate Constant Maturity Index (formerly 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.

10  Illiquid investment as of June 30, 2014.

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 agreement 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 agreement less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

15  Credit spreads, where available, 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  Transfers out of Level 3 represent the value at the end of the year. At June 30, 2014, securities were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 as the valuations are based on observable inputs from an established pricing source.

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

JIBAR  Johannesburg Interbank Agreed Rate

MXNTIIE  Mexico Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate

PO  Principal only security—This security entitles the holder to receive principal payments from an underlying pool of assets or on the security itself. In the case of asset-backed securities, high prepayments return principal faster than expected and cause the yield to increase. Low prepayments return principal slower than expected and cause the yield to decrease.

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

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

The UBS Funds

June 30, 2014 (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, 2014 to June 30, 2014.

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, 2014 to June 30, 2014.

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.

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.

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 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"). At Board meetings held in December 2013 and April 2014, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") approved certain changes to the Class Y shares of each series of the Trust to permit wrap fee advisory program accounts to purchase Class Y shares. The Board also approved the tax-free conversion of wrap fee advisory program accounts currently holding Class A shares or Class C shares (post-CDSC) into Class Y shares. In connection with these changes, the Board approved the redesignation of Class Y shares as Class P shares, effective on or about July 28, 2014.

Each of the Funds covered by this report is diversified, except for UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund which is non-diversified. 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


68



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 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 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 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.


69



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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.

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, 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 the Fund's Portfolio of investments.

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

Notes to financial statements

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, 2014 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of June 30, 2014, 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, 2014, except for forward foreign currency contracts and options for UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund for which the average volume during the year was greater than at year end.

Disclosure of derivatives by underlying risk as of and for the year ended June 30, 2014 is as follows:

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

The Funds typically enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements ("ISDA Master Agreements") or similar master agreements (collectively, "Master Agreements") with its OTC derivative contract counterparties in order to, among other things, reduce its credit risk to counterparties. ISDA Master Agreements include provisions for general obligations, representations, collateral and events of default or termination. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Funds typically may offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument's payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment (close-out netting) in the event of default or termination.

The provisions of ASC Topic 210 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" require disclosure on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. The offsetting disclosures are limited to derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and security lending and borrowing transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement ("MNA") or similar agreement.

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 of investments 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


77



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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: 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.


78



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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

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

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

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

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

Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to make or receive payments in the event of a default or other credit event of a referenced security. As a buyer, a Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty, and a Fund would receive payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, a Fund 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.


79



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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, 2014 for which a Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed under the section "Credit default swaps on credit indices—sell protection", "Credit default swaps on corporate and sovereign issues—sell protection" and "Centrally cleared credit default swaps on credit indices—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


80



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund's Statement of assets and liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. If an option which the Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security or derivative instrument, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss (long-term or short-term, depending on the holding period of the underlying security) from the sale of the underlying security or derivative instrument and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option which a Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security or derivative instrument which the Fund purchases upon exercise of the option.

In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the derivative instrument, security, index or currency underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could result in the Fund selling or buying a derivative instrument, security or currency at a price different from current market value.

J. Purchased options: Certain Funds may purchase put and call options on foreign or US securities, indices, foreign currencies and interest rate swaps (commonly referred to as swaptions), as well as exchange listed call options on particular market segment indices to achieve temporary exposure to a specific security, currency, industry or geographic region. Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund pays a premium which is included in the Statement of assets and liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying futures, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

K. 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


81



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 year ended June 30, 2014, 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:

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, 2014 and for the period 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:

Fund

 

Class A

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.


84



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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. In addition, UBS Core Plus Bond Fund received US government agency securities as collateral with a market value of $71,506, which can not be resold. The value of loaned securities and related collateral at June 30, 2014 was as follows:

7. Federal income taxes

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

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act"), net capital losses recognized by the Funds after December 22, 2010, may be carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

Qualified late year losses are deemed to arise on the first business day of a Fund's next taxable year. For the year ended June 30, 2014, the Funds incurred no late year losses.

ASC 740-10 "Income Taxes—Overall" sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken. The Funds have conducted an analysis and concluded as of June 30, 2014 that there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. It is each Fund's policy to record any significant foreign tax exposures in the financial statements. 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 ended June 30, 2014, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. Capital gains realized by the Funds on securities issued in or by certain foreign countries may be subject to capital gains tax imposed by those countries.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended June 30, 2014, 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. There were no borrowings from the Committed Credit Facility outstanding as of or during the year ended June 30, 2014.

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, 2014, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended and the statements of 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, 2014, 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, 2014, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and 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 5 and 6, 2014 (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 Asset Growth Fund (formerly, UBS Global Frontier Fund), UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund (formerly, 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, UBS Core Plus Bond Fund and UBS Emerging Markets Debt 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 May 30, 2014, June 5, 2014 and June 6, 2014, 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. 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 Asset Growth Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund, UBS Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, and UBS Core Plus Bond Fund each had appeared in one of the top three performance quintiles for the one-year performance period. At the Board's request, the Advisor further addressed the performance data for the UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund, UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and UBS Emerging Markets Debt 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 Multi-Asset Income Fund, the Advisor discussed the factors that had affected the performance of the Fund over the past year. The Advisor noted that the UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund pursues a tactical income strategy to provide risk-managed income over the long-term. The Advisor noted that the Fund produced positive performance for the year and outperformed its benchmark index. The Advisor noted the Fund's relative underperformance compared to its Lipper peer group was due to the variety of different strategies of the funds included in the peer group. The Advisor noted that the UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund was designed for a conservative income investor that seeks a positive income stream through various market conditions. The Advisor stated that the Fund's performance results during the past year were consistent with the Fund's investment objective.

The Advisor then discussed the performance of the UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund. The Advisor stated that the main reason for the Fund's underperformance relative to its peers was due to the transition in strategy during the past year from international equity to global sustainable equity. Due to the strong performance of the U.S. market over the past year, international strategies on average underperformed global strategies, which distorted this transitioning Fund's performance versus its global equity peers.

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, and that additional investment sleeves had been added in 2013. The Advisor stated that since the transition to the new strategy, the Fund has experienced better risk-adjusted performance. The Advisor reported that it believed that the Fund's relative performance versus its peers would fare better in down markets.

In discussing the performance of the UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund for the one-year performance period, the Advisor explained that the Fund's defensive strategy was the primary reason for the Fund's underperformance as compared to its peer universe. The Advisor noted that the options overlay strategy for the Fund, which reduced the volatility profile of the Fund, detracted from the Fund's performance. The Advisor stated the options overlay strategy should benefit the Fund's relative performance when the U.S. equity market experiences a down turn.

The Advisor next addressed the relative underperformance of the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund with respect to the Fund's peers. The Fund produced a small positive return over the period; however, produced weaker peer relative rankings. Its weaker relative performance as compared to its peer universe was largely attributable to the composition of the Fund's current absolute return peer group. The peer group contains a wide mix of funds that are managed to varying risk/return objectives and follow investment strategies that may not be similar to the Fund. This includes strategies with sizable allocation to equity markets, such as asset allocation funds, which benefited from equity exposure in a positive equity market.

With respect to the performance of the UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund, the Advisor noted that the Fund underperformed relative to its peer universe. The Advisor explained that the Fund's relative underperformance as compared to its peers was due primarily to the Fund's investments in longer duration Brazil debt and its overweight to local currencies as compared to its peers. The Advisor explained that U.S. dollar-denominated debt generally outperformed local currency debt during the period and noted that any fund that allocated more heavily to local markets would reflect lower performance rankings.

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 Global Allocation Fund, UBS Asset Growth Fund, UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund and UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth 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, except for UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund.

The Board first discussed the management fee and expenses of the UBS Global Allocation Fund. It was noted that the contractual management fee, actual management fee and total expenses for the UBS Global Allocation Fund were each slightly higher than the fees and expenses of several of the funds in its Lipper expense group. The Advisor noted that changes to the funds in the peer group and a reduction in the UBS Global Allocation Fund's assets caused the Fund's relative lower rankings. The Board, however, noted that the Fund's management fee and expenses were each reasonable considering that neither the management fee nor the Fund's total expenses were significantly higher than the respective Lipper expense group medians. The Board will continue to monitor the Fund's peers and expenses.

The Board then discussed the management fee of the UBS Asset Growth Fund. It was noted that the UBS Asset Growth Fund's management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group on a contractual basis. The Board noted that while the UBS Asset Growth Fund's contractual management fee was higher than the


94



The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements (unaudited)

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 considered that the management fee of the UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund was slightly 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 second 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 next discussed the management fee of the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund. It was noted that the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund's management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group on a contractual basis, which led the Board to discuss this Fund's management fee with the Advisor. The Board noted that while the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund's contractual management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, the Fund's actual management fee compared more favorably to its peers. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the UBS Small Cap Growth Fund were comparable to the other funds in its peer group.

The Board also reviewed the expenses of the UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund and noted that the Fund's expenses were higher than the Fund's peers. The Board noted that the Fund's management fee on both a contractual and actual basis compared favorably to the management fee of its Lipper peers. The Advisor noted that the Fund's total expenses were higher than its peers primarily because the Fund was relatively newer and had less assets than many of the funds in its peer group. The Advisor also note that some of the UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund's peers maintain only limited or no exposure to securities denominated in local market currencies, which have additional expenses that are not associated with holding U.S. dollar-denominated debt.

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 Asset Growth Fund, UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, UBS Emerging Markets Debt 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 14, 2014

Dear Shareholder,

Investors cheered earlier this year as the bull market in US equities turned five years old. It has been a remarkable five years for US equity investors. In the depths of the "Great Recession," on March 9, 2009, the S&P 500 closed at 676.53, but on the same date this year, the index closed at 1,878.04, a gain of 178%. The anniversary of the equity bull market has inspired much reflection among investors, as opposing arguments have formed about the longevity of the market going forward.

Currently, both bullish and bearish investors have compelling arguments to support their positions. The case for a continuation of the bull market rests on expectations of low inflation, continued economic and corporate growth, and rising equity valuations. In this view, further equity market gains will be driven by a low inflationary environment, downward trending unemployment, continued consumer deleveraging and rising confidence, as well as increasing capital expenditures as corporations begin to focus on expansion. Conversely, the case for a market correction rests on assumptions of declining valuations, deteriorating profit margins and earnings disappointments. Those who support this view believe that a market correction could be led by rising interest rates, equity valuations that may appear to be overstretched versus historical averages and profit margins that, while currently above historical levels, may regress back toward their long-term mean. For mutual fund shareholders, however, long-term success will have less to do with how long the equity bull market runs and more with a long-term investment approach that will help achieve their desired outcomes despite the ups and downs of markets.

At UBS Global Asset Management, we are focused on managing funds that achieve our clients' objectives through sustainable investment outcomes. In addition to single-strategy, equity and fixed-income products, we have added funds that utilize innovative diversifiers intended to soften the impact of market swings. These funds diversify risk through strategies that are not bound by benchmarks, are expected often to benefit from both rising and falling security prices, and utilize cost-effective defensive investment strategies. UBS Global Asset Management was among the early leaders to evolve its product offerings with the intention of providing sustainable returns in up and down markets using these strategies. We believe that diversification is paramount to successful investment outcomes, irrespective of market conditions, and we will continue to offer clients products that aim to mitigate downside risk and provide durable returns through both up and down market cycles.

I am pleased to share that the client focus, investment discipline and strength of our firm recently garnered a prestigious accolade from Euromoney magazine. In its July 2014 issue, Euromoney named UBS "Best Global Bank," describing our firm as "a global wealth manager first and foremost, underpinned by a Swiss universal bank and a powerful asset management business...." This award is just one measure of how UBS is succeeding as a business by focusing on meeting clients' needs.

Whatever the outcome of the current equity bull market, we remain focused on enabling our clients to achieve the outcomes they desire. As we continue to evolve our funds to provide sustainable performance in a variety of market conditions, we rely on our firm's client-oriented culture to guide everything we do. We embrace the responsibility

The markets in review

Improving growth in the developed world

After three consecutive years of generally modest growth, the overall US economy contracted in the first quarter of 2014. Looking back, gross domestic product ("GDP") in the US grew at annualized rates of 4.5% and 3.5% during the third and fourth quarters of 2013, respectively. The Commerce Department then reported that first quarter 2014 GDP contracted at a 2.1% annualized rate. This was the first negative reading since the first quarter of 2011 and the downturn was partially attributed to severe winter weather in parts of the country. However, this proved to be a temporary setback for the economy, as GDP growth was 4.0% during the second quarter of 2014.1

The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") took a number of actions during the reporting period. Looking back, in December 2013, the Fed announced that it would begin paring back its monthly asset purchases, stating "Beginning in January, the Committee will add to its holdings of agency mortgage-backed securities at a [reduced] pace of $35 billion per month rather than $40 billion per month, and will add to its holdings of longer-term Treasury securities at a [reduced] pace of $40 billion per month rather than $45 billion per month." At its meetings in January, March, April and June 2014, the Fed said it would further taper its asset purchases, in each case paring its total purchases a total of $10 billion per month. Beginning in July, it will buy a total of $35 billion per month ($15 billion per month of agency mortgage-backed securities and $20 billion per month of longer-term Treasuries). In the Fed's official statement it said, "Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in April indicates that growth in economic activity has rebounded in recent months. Labor market indicators generally showed further improvement. The unemployment rate, though lower, remains elevated. Household spending appears to be rising moderately and business fixed investment resumed its advance, while the recovery in the housing sector remained slow."

Growth outside the US generally improved. In its April 2014 World Economic Outlook Update, the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") reported that "Global activity has broadly strengthened and is expected to improve further in 2014 - 15, with much of the impetus coming from advanced economies." From a regional perspective, the IMF anticipates 2014 growth will be 1.2% in the Eurozone, versus a 0.5% contraction in 2013. Economic activity in Japan is expected to be relatively stable, with growth of 1.4% in 2014, compared with 1.5% in 2013. After decelerating in 2013, the IMF projects that overall growth in emerging markets countries will experience an uptick to 4.9% in 2014, versus 4.7% in 2013.

Global equities rally sharply

Despite a number of headwinds, the global equity market was highly resilient and generated strong results during the reporting period. The market was volatile at times given mixed global growth, geopolitical issues and questions regarding future central bank monetary policy. However, investor demand was solid overall, as corporate profits often surprised and central banks largely remained highly accommodative. All told, the US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,2 gained 24.61% for the 12 months ended June 30, 2014. International developed equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net),3 also produced very strong results, gaining 23.57% during the period. Returns for emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net),4 were less robust, as they returned 14.31% over the same period. This was due to several factors, including concerns regarding China's ability to provide a soft landing for its economy.

1  Based on the Commerce Department's first estimate announced on July 30, 2014, after the reporting period had ended.

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 designed to measure the investment returns of developed economies outside of North America. Net total return indices reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. 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. Net total return indices reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. 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.

UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2014, Class A shares of UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund (the "Fund") gained 3.08% (Class A shares declined 2.63% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares rose 3.35%. The Fund's benchmark, the Citigroup Three-Month US Treasury Bill Index (the "Index"), returned 0.04% over the same time period. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 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 generated a positive return and outperformed the Index during the 12 months ended June 30, 2014. The Fund invested in three distinct investment "sleeves" during the reporting period: US fundamental long-short, equity opportunity long-short and global equity long-short, the latter of which was added in January 2014. All three sleeves contributed to the Fund's performance during the reporting period.

During the 12 month period, the sleeves in which the Fund invests used derivative instruments for efficient portfolio and risk management purposes. Currency forwards were used to hedge the Fund's currency exposure. Swaps were used on individual stocks to gain exposure to the shares in a more efficient manner. The use of these derivatives was successful in helping manage both the portfolio, and risk within the sleeves.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

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

  – At the stock level, the sleeve had strong contributions from its long positions in information technology companies Micron Technology Inc., NXP Semiconductor and Apple Inc. Norfolk Southern Corp., a rail transportation company, and Morgan Stanley, a financial firm, added considerable value as well.

  – The sectors within the sleeve that added the most value were information technology, health care, industrials and financials.

•  In aggregate, the equity opportunity long-short sleeve was beneficial for performance.

  – The sleeve's long positions in Pandora, an online radio company, Investment AB Kinnevik, an investment firm, Continental, a tire manufacturer and Novartis, a health care company, were additive to results.

  – The best performing sectors within the sleeve were health care, consumer discretionary and financials.

  – From a country perspective, the sleeve's allocations to the US, Denmark, Germany and the UK were the most beneficial during the reporting period.

•  Overall, the global equity long-short sleeve was beneficial for performance.

  – The sleeve's long positions in several energy firms, such as Perpetual Energy, Paramount Resources and Lightstream Resources added value. Pharmaceutical company Shire contributed positively as well, as it became a potential consolidation target.

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

UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund

  – The best performing sectors within the sleeve were energy, information technology and consumer staples.

  – From a country perspective, the sleeve's allocations to the UK, the US and Japan were the most beneficial during the reporting period.

What didn't work

•  Certain strategies in the US fundamental long-short sleeve detracted from performance.

  – The sleeve's short positions in packaging and shipping-related company Pitney Bowes and information technology company Cognizant Tech, along with long positions in mobile communications company NII Holdings and ServiceSource, a provider of information technology outsourcing solutions, were negative for results.

  – The sleeve's allocation to the telecommunications sector detracted from performance during the reporting period.

•  Several positions in the equity opportunity long-short sleeve dragged on performance.

  – The sleeve's short positions in Aperam, a specialty steel producer, Italcementi, a cement company, and Groupe Eurotunnel, a tunnel operator, were the largest individual detractors from results. We exited these positions before the end of the reporting period.

  – Allocations to the materials, industrials and utilities sectors were negative for performance.

  – In terms of countries, the sleeve's allocations to Spain, Italy and Finland were the largest detractors.

•  Certain positions in the global long-short sleeve detracted from performance.

  – The sleeve's short positions in two Canadian oil and gas exploration companies, Petromanas Energy and Bankers Petroleum, as well as hydrogen fuel cell producer Ballard Power, were negative for returns. A short position in Golar LNG, a liquefied natural gas shipping company, also detracted from performance.

  – The sleeve's allocation to the financials and industrials sectors detracted from performance during the reporting period.

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, 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.

UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2014, Class A shares of UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund (the "Fund") (formerly UBS International Equity Fund) gained 21.32% (Class A shares returned 14.64% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares rose 21.65%. The Fund's new benchmark, the MSCI World Free Index (net) (the "Index") returned 24.05%, whereas the Fund's previous benchmark, the MSCI World Free ex-USA Index (net), returned 23.83% over the same time period. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes in the series. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 24; please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

Special Fund Update

The Board of Trustees of The UBS Funds approved changes to UBS International Equity Fund, including changing its name, its listed portfolio managers and adjusting certain investment policies to allow the Fund to pursue a sustainable investment approach. These changes went into effect on October 28, 2013. Specifically:

•  The Fund's name changed from UBS International Equity Fund to UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund.

•  The Fund's benchmark changed from the MSCI World Free ex USA Index (net), to the MSCI World Free Index (net). This increased the Fund's investable universe and allows for its investment in US equities.

•  The investment process for the Fund was enhanced by the use of a positive screening approach that integrates sustainability analysis and a long-term perspective with a rigorous fundamental valuation framework. The investment process for the Fund also incorporates some negative screening for controversial industries.

The Fund posted a strong absolute return but underperformed its benchmark during the reporting period, primarily due to stock selection and sector allocation.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Several individual stocks had a positive impact on performance.

  • NXP Semiconductor, a leading semiconductor manufacturer headquartered in the Netherlands, generated strong results and benefited the Fund's performance. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

  • Broadcom Corp. is an American semiconductor company in the wireless and broadband communication business. Investors were pleased by the company's announcement that it would exit its baseband chip business, which will lead to substantial savings. This, in turn, resulted in expectations for improving earnings.

  • Aviva plc is a British multinational insurance company headquartered in London. The company has undergone a successful restructuring, which has resulted in increased revenues and lower costs for its business lines.

  • Apple, Inc. designs, develops, and sells consumer electronics, computer software, online services, and personal computers. After a period of weakness, its shares rallied in anticipation of several new products being launched in the fall, including the iPhone 6 and iWatch.

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


21



UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund

  • Sector allocation in several areas contributed to results. The Fund's overall sector allocations are a byproduct of our bottom-up stock selection process. During the reporting period, underweights to health care, materials and financials were the most beneficial sector allocations to the Fund's relative performance.

What didn't work

•  Overall, stock selection detracted from performance during the reporting period.

  • ServiceSource International is a US-based software service company. Sentiment for the company weakened as it reported disappointing results that caused investors to question its future growth prospects. In addition, the company has experienced some management turnover that was negatively received by investors.

  • Amazon.com is a leading web-based retailer. While its revenues continue to rise sharply, investors were disappointed by rising costs for its distribution facilities and the start-up costs for its new phone product, which depressed earnings.

  • NII Holdings is a telecommunications company that performed poorly during the reporting period and was subsequently eliminated from the portfolio. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

  • Bank Rakyat Indonesia is a finance company based in Indonesia. It performed poorly and we eliminated the holding. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

  • Shin-Etsu Chemical Company is a Japanese supplier of semiconductor materials and polyvinyl chloride. Its shares declined as semiconductor pricing has been weak.

•  Sector allocation decisions, overall, detracted from performance. During the reporting period, having an overweight to information technology, along with underweights to energy and telecommunication services, were negative for the Fund's relative performance.

Portfolio highlights

•  NXP Semiconductor is highly leveraged to industrial production in Europe, which has shown signs of economic improvement. The company also owns new technology in the area of Near Field Communications, which is expected to be included in the new iPhone 6. This bolstered investor sentiment for NXP Semiconductor and helped to drive its share price sharply higher during the reporting period.

•  A.P. Moller is a Danish shipping company. Its shares rallied sharply given expectations for improved pricing, especially in the Pacific. The company's volumes have also increased along with strengthening global growth.

•  NII Holdings is a holding company that, through its various subsidiaries, provides mobile communication services under the Nextel brand in five Latin American countries. The company experienced pricing pressures and lost customers during the reporting period. In addition, its 3G technology transition did not work out as planned, and we sold the stock.


22



UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund

•  Shares of Bank Rakyat Indonesia declined during the reporting period, given the volatility in the Indonesian economy. This, in turn, has negatively impacted the country's banking system. We sold the stock during the reporting period and locked in previous profits from the holding.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2013 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—2.65% and 1.25%; Class C—3.40% and 2.00%; Class Y—2.40% 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. This fee waiver and expense arrangement may only be amended or terminated by shareholders.

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

2  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 1% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 distribution and service fees.

3  The Fund offers Class Y shares to a limited group of eligible investors, including certain qualifying retirement plans. Class Y shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 distribution and service fees.

4  The 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. Net total return indices reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. 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.

5  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. Net total return indices reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. 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  Please note that UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund (formerly, International Equity Fund) was transitioned from a Global (Ex-US) strategy on October 28, 2013. The benchmark was also changed from the MSCI World Free ex USA Index (net) to the MSCI World Free Index (net), in order to properly reflect the new strategy.

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, 2014, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned 18.78% (Class A shares returned 12.24% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 19.17%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), returned 25.35% 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.)

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

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Stock selection decisions in the information technology sector contributed strongly to Fund performance.

  – Shares of Micron Technology rose 39% during the second quarter of 2014 as the company saw strong upward momentum. Micron benefited from supply disruptions at its key competitor, Hynix. This development increased expectations for improved DRAM pricing and higher margins for Micron.

  – NXP Semiconductor was a top holding for the Fund. Shares were up 28% during the first quarter of 2014 after NXP reported quarterly and annual earnings at the high end of guidance. The company's revenue growth reached 13% for the full year, led by its automotive business and its portable and computing business. NXP also benefited from the announcement of an expanded stock repurchase program.

•  Several energy and materials stocks made a positive contribution to relative performance.

  – Shares of EOG Resources rose 19% during the second quarter of 2014. The company posted strong earnings results in the first quarter due to new Rocky Mountain oil plays, which added to its high quality inventory. EOG is benefiting from strong rig counts, and has raised its production targets from 27% to 29%. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Martin Marietta Materials gained 29% during the first quarter of 2014. The company reported full-year results that exceeded expectations, crediting double-digit volume growth in its residential and non-residential aggregates business. Other positive developments included the company's announcement that it would acquire Texas Industries, the second-largest producer of sand, gravel and crushed rock.

•  The Fund had a successful overweight to the health care sector.

  – Allergan made a significant contribution to Fund returns during the 12 months. The stock price gained 36% during the second quarter of 2014. The spike was due to the announcement in April 2014 that activist investor William Ackman and Valeant Pharmaceuticals were teaming up to pursue a takeover of Allergan.

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

What didn't work

•  Certain individual stock positions detracted from relative performance during the 12-month period.

  – NII Holdings was the top detractor for the reporting period. The stock plunged 55% in late February 2014 when NII reported a net subscriber loss of 247,000 and warned about declining liquidity. The company continues to make progress in Brazil, where it has built a 3G network and is selling the iPhone 5. But greater-than-expected customer losses in Mexico are hampering results. We continue to hold the stock, based on the situation in Brazil and an asset base that we believe is undervalued by the market.

  – ServiceSource International made a negative contribution to Fund returns. The company saw a significant decline in its stock price due to poor performance in the first quarter of 2014. The stock came under additional pressure after ServiceSource announced negative earnings estimate revisions for the quarter and the current year.

  – J. C. Penney detracted from Fund returns after reporting earnings and revenue that were below expectations. Early in the 12 months, Bill Ackman publicly criticized the company's strategy and subsequently resigned from his seat on its board. The company attempted to raise cash by selling roughly $800 million of new stock before the critical 2013 holiday shopping season, but this only eroded investor confidence. While the mid-tier department store faces some challenges, we believe the current valuation does not reflect J.C. Penney's future cash generation potential.

  – Shares of Philip Morris suffered along with the broader consumer staples sector. Investor sentiment about the decline in the number of smokers worsened, leading to poor performance for the company's stock price. However, we believe that Philip Morris is attractively valued. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – The stock price of Citigroup declined during the 12 months. Along with other large global financial services companies, Citigroup suffered from uncertainty about the future regulatory environment. Ongoing concerns about settlements related to the financial crisis also hindered the performance of many banks. In addition, Citigroup failed a regulatory test of balance sheet strength, and was denied the opportunity to increase its dividend and share buyback program. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  An underweight to the utilities sector detracted from the Fund's relative returns when many of these stocks traded higher during the period.

Portfolio highlights

•  EOG Resources is a natural gas and crude oil exploration & production (E&P) company. We believe it is a best-in-class company run by experienced managers. EOG benefits from a disciplined focus on internal rate of return at the project level. The company has core positions in prime acreage of the Eagle Ford, Bakken and Permian basins. It is a first mover in the onshore tight gas and tight oil basins. EOG has a track record of superior innovation and, as a result, is well-positioned with the lowest exploration and development costs.

•  We believe the market underappreciates the persistence and predictability of Philip Morris' cash flows and returns to shareholders. While governments have an interest in public health and declining tobacco consumption, they have become reliant on steady and predictable tobacco tax flows. Philip Morris has proven skill at modeling cigarette demand, even with variables such as regulation, taxation and demographics. Over time, governments are learning to trust the company's models. Governments have learned that aggressive tax increases tend to encourage the illicit cigarette trade, which reduces tax revenue and increases consumption. Philip Morris' regulatory and consumption risk is well diversified, as the company operates in more than 180 markets globally.


31



UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund

•  Citigroup continues to execute its plan to rationalize its balance sheet, wind down Citi Holdings, engineer expense reductions, and improve liquidity and capital metrics. It is successfully taking market share in its core businesses: regional consumer banking, securities and banking, and global transaction services. Additionally, the company has been aggressively selling minority stakes in several banks, which should provide significant capital relief on a Basel III basis. We anticipate superior earnings growth over the next few years due to solid revenue growth, improving expense discipline and better credit quality.

•  Mondelez manufactures and markets snack food and beverage products, including cookies, crackers, chocolate, gum, candy, coffee, powdered beverages, and various cheese and grocery products. We believe the company is well-positioned for growth due to its significant exposure to developing markets. We think there is an opportunity for margin expansion from a rebound in Europe and by leveraging synergies across distribution platforms.

•  Yum! Brands is the leading multi-concept global restaurant company with three main concepts: KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut. The stock experienced weakness due to supply issues and avian flu concerns in China. We believe the market is undervaluing the long-term value of the KFC and Pizza Hut franchises in China. Unit growth has accelerated in recent years as a result of prior investment in infrastructure. We expect Yum! to continue to grow earnings per share by double digits for the next several years due to strong international growth and return of capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2013 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—4.79% and 2.81%; Class C—5.61% and 3.59%; Class Y—4.51% and 2.57%. 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, 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 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. Defensive Equity Fund Class A and Class Y shares versus the Russell 1000 Index from September 26, 2006, which is the inception date of the two classes, through June 30, 2014. The performance of Class C shares will vary based upon the class specific expenses and sales charges. The performance provided does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Share price and returns will vary with market conditions; investors may realize a gain or loss upon redemption.

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

UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2014, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund (the "Fund") returned 24.01% (Class A shares returned 17.26% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 24.28%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), returned 25.35% over the same time period. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 46; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund lagged the Index primarily due to stock selection decisions, which were partially offset by successful industry allocations.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  A significant overweight position in the information technology (IT) sector, as well as stock selection within IT, were positive for performance.

  – Shares of Micron Technology rose 39% during the second quarter of 2014 as the company saw strong upward momentum. Micron benefited from supply disruptions at its key competitor, Hynix. This development increased expectations for improved DRAM pricing and higher margins for Micron.

  – NXP Semiconductor was a top holding for the Fund. Shares rose 28% during the first quarter of 2014 after NXP reported quarterly and annual earnings at the high end of guidance. The company's revenue growth reached 13% for the full year, led by its automotive business and its portable and computing business. NXP also benefited from the announcement of an expanded stock repurchase program. We exited the position during the reporting period in favor of pursuing more compelling opportunities.

  – Apple Inc. was a top contributor for the 12 months. Strong shipments of the iPhone and improved margins led to results that exceeded analysts' expectations. The company announced an increase in its buyback authorization from $60 billion to $90 billion, and raised its dividend by 8%. The anticipated release of the iPhone 6 later this year also contributed to a rising stock price.

•  The Fund had a successful overweight to the health care sector, and several biotechnology stocks were additive for relative performance.

  – Alexion Pharmaceuticals was a top contributor, as it was up 35% during the first quarter of 2014. The company delivered strong performance with quarterly results that exceeded expectations. Its Soliris product posted robust sales numbers, which should be enhanced further by the development of a second use for the drug. During the period, Alexion announced a realignment of operations and the centralization of global supply chains in Ireland, which will have a significant impact on its future non-GAAP tax rates. We exited the position during the reporting period in favor of pursuing more compelling opportunities.

  – The stock price of Alnylam Pharmaceuticals nearly doubled during the period. The company reported positive data in its effort to treat TTR-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR), a major unmet medical need with significant morbidity and mortality. Analysts believe there is a high probability of Alnylam's treatment becoming a marketed product in the coming quarters.

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


43



UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

•  Several energy and materials stocks made a positive contribution to relative performance.

  – Shares of EOG Resources rose 19% during the second quarter of 2014. The company posted strong earnings results in the first quarter due to new Rocky Mountain oil plays, which added to its high quality inventory. EOG is benefiting from strong rig counts, and has raised its production targets from 27% to 29%. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Martin Marietta Materials was up 29% during the first quarter of 2014. The company reported full-year results that exceeded expectations, crediting double-digit volume growth in its residential and non-residential aggregates business. Other positive developments included the company's announcement that it would acquire Texas Industries, the second-largest producer of sand, gravel and crushed rock. We exited the position in March 2014.

What didn't work

•  Certain individual stock positions detracted from relative performance during the 12-month period.

  – ServiceSource International was the top detractor for the reporting period. The company saw a significant decline in its stock price due to poor performance in the first quarter of 2014. The stock came under additional pressure after ServiceSource announced negative earnings estimate revisions for the quarter and the current year.

  – NII Holdings made a negative contribution to Fund returns. The stock plunged 55% in late February 2014, when NII reported a net subscriber loss of 247,000 and warned about declining liquidity. The company continues to make progress in Brazil, where it has built a 3G network and is selling the iPhone 5. But greater-than-expected customer losses in Mexico are hampering results. We exited the position before the end of the reporting period.

  – The stock price of Citigroup declined during the period. Along with other large global financial services companies, Citigroup suffered from uncertainty about the future regulatory environment. Ongoing concerns about settlements related to the financial crisis also hindered the performance of many banks. In addition, Citigroup failed a regulatory test of balance sheet strength, and was denied the opportunity to increase its dividend and share buyback program. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Lululemon Athletica had a negative impact on the Fund's relative performance as an onslaught of increased competition led to declining growth. The athletic clothing retailer also struggled with management changes, including the departure of its chief executive officer, in the second half of 2013. We exited the position in early 2014.

  – Acorda Therapeutics detracted from relative returns for the full 12 months but showed signs of improvement in early 2014. Sales of Ampyra, its multiple sclerosis (MS) product, have increased. Acorda has strengthened its balance sheet, and we believe it has further positive developments in its pipeline.

Portfolio highlights

•  EOG Resources is a natural gas and crude oil exploration & production (E&P) company. We believe it is a best-in-class company run by experienced managers. EOG benefits from a disciplined focus on internal rate of return at the project level. The company has core positions in prime acreage of the Eagle Ford, Bakken and Permian basins. It is a first mover in the onshore tight gas and tight oil basins. EOG has a track record of superior innovation and, as a result, is well-positioned with the lowest exploration and development costs.


44



UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

•  Citigroup continues to execute its plan to rationalize its balance sheet, wind down Citi Holdings, engineer expense reductions, and improve liquidity and capital metrics. It is successfully taking market share in its core businesses: regional consumer banking, securities and banking, and global transaction services. Additionally, the company has been aggressively selling minority stakes in several banks, which should provide significant capital relief on a Basel III basis. We anticipate superior earnings growth over the next few years due to solid revenue growth, improving expense discipline and better credit quality.

•  Mondelez manufactures and markets snack food and beverage products, including cookies, crackers, chocolate, gum, candy, coffee, powdered beverages, and various cheese and grocery products. We believe the company is well-positioned for growth due to its significant exposure to developing markets. We think there is an opportunity for margin expansion from a rebound in Europe and by leveraging synergies across distribution platforms.

•  Yum! Brands is the leading multi-concept global restaurant company with three main concepts: KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut. The stock experienced weakness due to supply issues and avian flu concerns in China. We believe the market is undervaluing the long-term value of the KFC and Pizza Hut franchises in China. Unit growth has accelerated in recent years as a result of prior investment in infrastructure. We expect Yum! to continue to grow earnings per share by double digits for the next several years due to strong international growth and return of capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

•  Automaker Ford is poised to benefit from the auto demand cycle, which we believe has several years left to run, absent a material decline in global growth. Ford's fundamentally improved cost structure and competitive position allows the company to earn its cost of capital in what is still a structurally challenged industry. Ford's North American truck business is a well-established franchise that can earn more than the company's cost of capital returns. The launch of the new F-150 appears to have been well-executed and the truck is priced at a premium, allowing for increased margins and slight market share benefits. We believe Ford will have a strong product cycle over the next few years, which should support the company's relatively competitive position.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2013 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.84% and 1.21%; Class C—2.63% and 1.96%; Class Y—1.68% 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, 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, 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.

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 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, 2014, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned 27.05% (Class A shares returned 20.03% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 27.38%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), returned 25.35% 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 55; 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

•  Stock selection decisions in the information technology sector contributed strongly to Fund performance.

  – NXP Semiconductor was a top holding for the Fund. Shares rose 28% during the first quarter of 2014 after NXP reported quarterly and annual earnings at the high end of guidance. The company's revenue growth reached 13% for the full year, led by its automotive business and its portable and computing business. NXP also benefited from the announcement of an expanded stock repurchase program.

  – Shares of Micron Technology were up 39% during the second quarter of 2014 as the company saw strong upward momentum. Micron benefited from supply disruptions at its key competitor, Hynix. This development increased expectations for improved DRAM pricing and higher margins for Micron.

  – Apple Inc. was a top contributor for the 12 months. Strong shipments of the iPhone and improved margins led to results that exceeded analysts' expectations. The company announced an increase in its buyback authorization from $60 billion to $90 billion, and raised its dividend by 8%. The anticipated release of the iPhone 6 later this year also contributed to a rising stock price. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  The Fund's energy stocks made a positive contribution to relative performance.

  – Shares of EOG Resources rose 19% during the second quarter of 2014. The company posted strong earnings results in the first quarter due to new Rocky Mountain oil plays, which added to its high quality inventory. EOG is benefiting from strong rig counts, and has raised its production targets from 27% to 29%. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – In addition, Halliburton and Baker Hughes were successful energy holdings during the 12 months.

• Martin Marietta Materials was a top contributor during the period.

  – The stock price of Martin Marietta increased 29% during the first quarter of 2014. The company reported full-year results that exceeded expectations, crediting double-digit volume growth in its residential and non-residential aggregates business. Other positive developments included the company's announcement that it would acquire Texas Industries, the second-largest producer of sand, gravel and crushed rock.

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

UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

•  Sector allocations were additive for relative performance. The Fund benefited from an underweight position in consumer staples stocks, which lagged the rising market. An overweight to health care also proved successful.

What didn't work

• Individual stock positions detracted from relative performance during the 12-month period.

  – NII Holdings was the top detractor for the reporting period. The stock plunged 55% in late February 2014 when NII reported a net subscriber loss of 247,000 and warned about declining liquidity. The company continues to make progress in Brazil, where it has built a 3G network and is selling the iPhone 5. But greater-than-expected customer losses in Mexico are hampering results. We continue to hold the stock, based on the situation in Brazil and an asset base that we believe is undervalued by the market.

  – ServiceSource International made a negative contribution to Fund returns. The company saw a significant decline in its stock price due to poor performance in the first quarter of 2014. The stock came under additional pressure after ServiceSource announced negative earnings estimate revisions for the quarter and the current year.

  – J. C. Penney detracted from Fund returns after reporting earnings and revenue that were below expectations. Early in the 12 months, activist investor Bill Ackman publicly criticized the company's strategy and subsequently resigned from his seat on its board. The company attempted to raise cash by selling roughly $800 million of new stock before the critical 2013 holiday shopping season, but this only eroded investor confidence. While the mid-tier department store faces some challenges, we believe the current valuation does not reflect J.C. Penney's future cash generation potential.

  – The stock price of Citigroup declined during the period. Along with other large global financial services companies, Citigroup suffered from uncertainty about the future regulatory environment. Ongoing concerns about settlements related to the financial crisis also hindered the performance of many banks. In addition, Citigroup failed a regulatory test of balance sheet strength, and was denied the opportunity to increase its dividend and share buyback program. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Shares of Philip Morris suffered along with the broader consumer staples sector. Investor sentiment about the decline in the number of smokers worsened, leading to poor performance for the company's stock price. However, we believe that Philip Morris is attractively valued. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

Portfolio highlights

•  EOG Resources is a natural gas and crude oil exploration & production (E&P) company. We believe it is a best-in-class company run by experienced managers. EOG benefits from a disciplined focus on internal rate of return at the project level. The company has core positions in prime acreage of the Eagle Ford, Bakken and Permian basins. It is a first mover in the onshore tight gas and tight oil basins. EOG has a track record of superior innovation and, as a result, is well-positioned with the lowest exploration and development costs.

•  We believe the market underappreciates the persistence and predictability of Philip Morris' cash flows and returns to shareholders. While governments have an interest in public health and declining tobacco consumption, they have become reliant on steady and predictable tobacco tax flows. Philip Morris has proven skill at modeling cigarette demand, even with variables such as regulation, taxation and demographics. Over time, governments are learning to trust the company's models. Governments have learned that aggressive tax increases tend to


53



UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

encourage the illicit cigarette trade, which reduces tax revenue and increases consumption. Philip Morris' regulatory and consumption risk is well diversified, as the company operates in more than 180 markets globally.

•  Citigroup continues to execute its plan to rationalize its balance sheet, wind down Citi Holdings, engineer expense reductions, and improve liquidity and capital metrics. It is successfully taking market share in its core businesses: regional consumer banking, securities and banking, and global transaction services. Additionally, the company has been aggressively selling minority stakes in several banks, which should provide significant capital relief on a Basel III basis. We anticipate superior earnings growth over the next few years due to solid revenue growth, improving expense discipline and better credit quality.

•  Apple is a market leader in personal computers and mobile electronic devices. The company continues to offer unmatched innovation in product lines and ease of use. We believe Apple is poised to grow revenue and profit at above-industry rates. We also anticipate that the company will gain market share and expand operating margins. Apple currently has a significant excess cash position and the capability to generate more. This should lead to an increasing return of cash to shareholders.

•  Mondelez manufactures and markets snack food and beverage products, including cookies, crackers, chocolate, gum, candy, coffee, powdered beverages, and various cheese and grocery products. We believe the company is well-positioned for growth due to it significant exposure to developing markets. We think there is an opportunity for margin expansion from a rebound in Europe and by leveraging synergies across distribution platforms.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2013 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.28% and 1.20%; Class C—2.04% and 1.95%; Class Y—0.98% and 0.95%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Trust, with respect to the Fund, and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc., the Fund's investment advisor ("UBS Global AM (Americas)" or the "Advisor"), have entered into a written agreement pursuant to which the Advisor has agreed to waive a portion of its management fees and/or to reimburse expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short) to the extent necessary so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short), through the period ending October 28, 2014, 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.

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 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. Small Cap Growth Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2014, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund") returned 26.42% (Class A shares returned 19.44% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 26.79%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the "Index"), returned 24.73% over the same time period. (Class Y shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 64; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

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

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  The Fund's consumer discretionary stocks made a positive contribution to relative returns for the 12 months.

  – RetailMeNot was one of the Fund's top performers during the reporting period. The company is a provider of online coupons and deals. After a successful initial public offering ("IPO") in July 2013, the stock traded higher for much of the period. We sold out of our position and took profits in November of 2013.

  – Tower International outperformed based on continued strength in its end markets. In addition, Tower's management offered an improved outlook on the company's prospects for the remainder of 2014. Tower is an integrated global manufacturer of engineered structural metal components and assemblies that primarily serves automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

  – Asbury Automotive, the sixth largest U.S. auto retailer, was a successful holding for the Fund during the period. The company has a new management team that has focused on improving operations by centralizing processes and implementing best practices throughout the business. This led to a substantial rise in profitability, followed by a higher stock price.

•  Within the information technology sector, several stock holdings were positive for performance.

  – FireEye was the largest positive contributor to Fund returns for the 12 months. Shares of the network security solutions provider rose following an announcement in January 2014 of preliminary fourth quarter 2013 results that beat expectations. In addition, the company acquired closely held Mandiant Corp., a leading provider of endpoint security products and incident response management solutions. We sold the position in February of 2014, before the market selloff.

  – Nimble Storage, a provider of enterprise storage and back-up solutions, performed well following a successful IPO in early December 2013. The company both designs and sells a flash-optimized hybrid storage platform that provides superior data protection. Nimble's platform also helps lower capital and operating expenditures for its customers. Valuations eventually became too high to justify the stock price, and we sold the position in May of 2014.

  – Shares of Splunk Inc. traded higher during the period due to investor enthusiasm. The company provides software that collects, indexes and analyzes machine data generated by websites, applications, servers, networks

and mobile devices. Anticipation of continued strong adoption of the company's solutions across a developing market opportunity led to strong performance. We sold the stock in February of 2014, prior to the market selloff.

• Several other stock positions were additive for the Fund's relative performance.

  – Pioneer Energy Services was one of the top performers during the reporting period. Pioneer provides onshore production services to the oil and natural gas industries. The company's shares continued to outperform following a strong earnings report in late April, coupled with management's confidence that demand remains strong for its services. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Spirit Airlines, a low-fare airline with routes to South Florida, the Caribbean and Latin America, saw its shares rise during the 12 months. In the first quarter of 2014, Spirit reported earnings in excess of consensus forecasts. Following that earnings release, the company indicated that the current revenue environment remains strong. Management believes that current inflation pressures remain manageable. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

• Stock selection in the health care sector, particularly among biotech and pharmaceutical companies, was successful during the 12-month period.

What didn't work

• Several information technology stocks detracted from relative performance during the 12 months.

  – Infoblox was the largest negative contributor during the reporting period. The company underperformed after reporting results below consensus estimates. In addition, sales execution challenges continued to manifest themselves, and the CEO announced his intention to step down. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Silver Spring Networks detracted from the Fund's relative performance. The provider of smart grid network and security technology solutions underperformed following news in the second half of 2013 that it had failed to win a piece of the lucrative Smart Meter grid contract in the UK. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Shares of Cyan Inc., a networking solutions company, declined after it provided revenue guidance for the fourth quarter of 2013 and the 2014 fiscal year that was sharply below consensus estimates. The disappointing guidance was partially due to a larger-than-anticipated sequential decline in revenues from Windstream, Cyan's largest customer, as well as slower-than-expected adoption of the company's systems in international markets. We sold the position in March of 2014.

  – MagnaChip Semiconductor, a manufacturer of mixed-signal semiconductors, saw its shares fall during the first quarter of 2014. The market reacted negatively to the company's announcement that it was delaying the release of fourth quarter 2013 earnings results in order to conduct a complete review of its financials. The company also announced it would be hiring a new chief financial officer.

  – OSI Systems detracted from Fund returns during the reporting period. The diversified manufacturer of security screening systems, medical monitors and electrical components suffered a price decline after the Transportation Security Administration ("TSA") canceled its $60 million order for AT-2 X-ray systems in the second half of 2013. The cancellation was made after OSI swapped out a component of its checkpoint X-ray system without notifying the TSA of the change. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

Portfolio highlights

•  Infoblox is a leader in automated network control, and provides an appliance-based solution that enables dynamic networks and next-generation data centers. Infoblox's solution combines real-time IP address management with the automation of key network management processes in purpose-built physical and virtual appliances. The company's proprietary grid technology software allows customers to control appliances across the enterprise, thereby increasing network uptime and reliability, while providing cost savings.

•  Silver Spring Networks provides network and security technology solutions that enable utilities to transform the power grid infrastructure into the smart grid. The company's networking platform provides two-way communication between the utility back office and devices on the power grid. We continue to see a large growth opportunity for Silver Spring due to two factors: The company's platform allows utilities to manage their network more efficiently, and its services remain underpenetrated.

•  Pioneer Energy Services provides land-based contract drilling and production services to independent and major oil and gas exploration companies. The company currently operates rigs in West Texas, South Texas, Bakken Shale, Utah, Marcellus and Colombia. The company is benefiting from increased drilling and exploration activity across these regions, and from improving rates for their services. We believe Pioneer will be able to continue to raise prices and invest incrementally in new rigs for further growth.

•  Spirit Airlines is an ultra-low-cost carrier that operates 40 aircraft on 190 daily flights to over 45 destinations. The airline adopted this approach when new management arrived in 2007, and it has been profitable ever since. Spirit is the most profitable US airline, with a pre-tax margin of 14.3% and a pretax return on investment capital of 28.5%. Spirit's valuation is inexpensive relative to the market and its growth prospects. As investors become more familiar with Spirit's operating model and potential, we believe the company will benefit from higher multiples.

•  OSI Systems manufactures security inspection systems and medical monitoring systems. The company's primary division sells inspection systems and scanners for use in the scanning of baggage, cargo and vehicles for weapons, explosives, drugs and other contraband. We believe OSI's healthcare division should see improving results as it starts to benefit from a new product cycle. Most of the company's new monitors now offer increased functionality, as well as touch screen interfaces, and we believe the secular nature of the company's growth is not reflected in its stock price.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2013 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.56% and 1.41%; Class C—2.33% and 2.16%; Class Y—1.14% and 1.14%. 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, 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.

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 following two graphs depict the performance of UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund Class A and Class Y versus the Russell 2000 Growth Index over the 10 years ended June 30, 2014. 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.

The UBS Funds

June 30, 2014 (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, 2014 to June 30, 2014.

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, 2014 to June 30, 2014.

1  For Class A, the maximum sales charge is 5.50%. Classes C and Y have no front-end sales charges. For Class A, 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. Class C maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. 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.

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.

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.

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, UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund (formerly, 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 (each a "Fund", and collectively, the "Funds"). At Board meetings held in December 2013 and April 2014, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") approved certain changes to the Class Y shares of each series of the Trust to permit wrap fee advisory program accounts to purchase Class Y shares. The Board also approved the tax-free conversion of wrap fee advisory program accounts currently holding Class A shares or Class C shares (post-CDSC) into Class Y shares. In connection with these changes, the Board approved the redesignation of Class Y shares as Class P shares, effective on or about July 28, 2014.

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-

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 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 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 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.

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, 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.

The provisions of ASC Topic 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC Topic 815") require qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. Since investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, even though a Fund's investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for purposes of disclosure under ASC Topic 815. ASC Topic 815 requires that (1) objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation, (2) the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses be disclosed in a tabular format, and (3) information be disclosed about credit-risk contingent features of derivatives contracts. Details of this disclosure can be found below as well as in the Portfolio of investments. 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 mar-


100

Notes to financial statements

gin 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, 2014 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of June 30, 2014, 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, 2014, except for forward foreign currency contracts for UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund for which the average volume during the year was greater than at year end.

Disclosure of derivatives by underlying risk as of and for the year ended June 30, 2014 is as follows:

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

The Funds typically enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements ("ISDA Master Agreements") or similar master agreements (collectively, "Master Agreements") with its OTC derivative contract counterparties in order to, among other things, reduce its credit risk to counterparties. ISDA Master Agreements include provisions for general obligations, representations, collateral and events of default or termination. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Funds typically may offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument's payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment (close-out netting) in the event of default or termination.

The provisions of ASC Topic 210 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" require disclosure on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. The offsetting disclosures are limited to derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and security lending and borrowing transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement ("MNA") or similar agreement.

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 of investments 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.


102



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares (or the value of dividend eligible shares, as appropriate) of each class at the beginning of the day after adjusting for current capital share activity of the respective classes. Class specific expenses are charged directly to the applicable class of shares.

D. Foreign currency translation: The Funds use the foreign currency exchange rates determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. For purposes of calculating the US dollar equivalent value of a non US dollar denominated obligation, foreign currency amounts are translated into US dollars on the following basis: (1) market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities—at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of each Fund's fiscal period; and (2) purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses—at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets and the market value of each Fund's portfolio are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of each Fund's fiscal period, the Funds do not generally isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of the changes in market prices of securities. However, the Funds do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the 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. 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 applica-


103



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

ble. The value of the swap is 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 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.

G. 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 liabili-


104



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

ties 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.

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, 2014.

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.


105



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 through participation in the commission recapture program is directed exclusively to the Fund. For the year ended June 30, 2014, the following Funds recorded recaptured commissions which are reflected on the Statement of operations within the net realized gains (losses) on investments in unaffiliated issuers:

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.

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 Global Sustainable 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. The value of loaned securities and related collateral at June 30, 2014 were as follows:

7. Federal income taxes

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

ASC 740-10 "Income Taxes—Overall" sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken. The Funds have conducted an analysis and concluded, as of June 30, 2014, that there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. It is each Fund's policy to record any significant foreign tax exposures in the financial statements. 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 ended June 30, 2014, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. Capital gains realized by the Funds on securities issued in or by certain foreign countries may be subject to capital gains tax imposed by those countries.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended June 30, 2014, or since inception in the case of UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund, remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities.

8. Line of credit

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, UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund (formerly, 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 (six of the series comprising The UBS Funds) (collectively the "Funds") as of June 30, 2014, 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, 2014, 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 Global Sustainable 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, 2014, 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.

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 5 and 6, 2014 (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 Asset Growth Fund (formerly, UBS Global Frontier Fund), UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund (formerly, 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, UBS Core Plus Bond Fund and UBS Emerging Markets Debt 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 May 30, 2014, June 5, 2014 and June 6, 2014, 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. 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 Asset Growth Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund, UBS Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, and UBS Core Plus Bond Fund each had appeared in one of the top three performance quintiles for the one-year performance period. At the Board's request, the Advisor further addressed the performance data for the UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund, UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and UBS Emerging Markets Debt 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 Multi-Asset Income Fund, the Advisor discussed the factors that had affected the performance of the Fund over the past year. The Advisor noted that the UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund pursues a tactical income strategy to provide risk-managed income over the long-term. The Advisor noted that the Fund produced positive performance for the year and outperformed its benchmark index. The Advisor noted the Fund's relative underperformance compared to its Lipper peer group was due to the variety of different strategies of the funds included in the peer group. The Advisor noted that the UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund was designed for a conservative income investor that seeks a positive income stream through various market conditions. The Advisor stated that the Fund's performance results during the past year were consistent with the Fund's investment objective.

The Advisor then discussed the performance of the UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund. The Advisor stated that the main reason for the Fund's underperformance relative to its peers was due to the transition in strategy during the past year from international equity to global sustainable equity. Due to the strong performance of the U.S. market over the past year, international strategies on average underperformed global strategies, which distorted this transitioning Fund's performance versus its global equity peers.

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, and that additional investment sleeves had been added in 2013. The Advisor stated that since the transition to the new strategy, the Fund has experienced better risk-adjusted performance. The Advisor reported that it believed that the Fund's relative performance versus its peers would fare better in down markets.

In discussing the performance of the UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund for the one-year performance period, the Advisor explained that the Fund's defensive strategy was the primary reason for the Fund's underperformance as compared to its peer universe. The Advisor noted that the options overlay strategy for the Fund, which reduced the volatility profile of the Fund, detracted from the Fund's performance. The Advisor stated the options overlay strategy should benefit the Fund's relative performance when the U.S. equity market experiences a down turn.

The Advisor next addressed the relative underperformance of the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund with respect to the Fund's peers. The Fund produced a small positive return over the period; however, produced weaker peer relative rankings. Its weaker relative performance as compared to its peer universe was largely attributable to the composition of the Fund's current absolute return peer group. The peer group contains a wide mix of funds that are managed to varying risk/return objectives and follow investment strategies that may not be similar to the Fund. This includes strategies with sizable allocation to equity markets, such as asset allocation funds, which benefited from equity exposure in a positive equity market.

With respect to the performance of the UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund, the Advisor noted that the Fund underperformed relative to its peer universe. The Advisor explained that the Fund's relative underperformance as compared to its peers was due primarily to the Fund's investments in longer duration Brazil debt and its overweight to local currencies as compared to its peers. The Advisor explained that U.S. dollar-denominated debt generally outperformed local currency debt during the period and noted that any fund that allocated more heavily to local markets would reflect lower performance rankings.

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 Global Allocation Fund, UBS Asset Growth Fund, UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund and UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth 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, except for UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund.

The Board first discussed the management fee and expenses of the UBS Global Allocation Fund. It was noted that the contractual management fee, actual management fee and total expenses for the UBS Global Allocation Fund were each slightly higher than the fees and expenses of several of the funds in its Lipper expense group. The Advisor noted that changes to the funds in the peer group and a reduction in the UBS Global Allocation Fund's assets caused the Fund's relative lower rankings. The Board, however, noted that the Fund's management fee and expenses were each reasonable considering that neither the management fee nor the Fund's total expenses were significantly higher than the respective Lipper expense group medians. The Board will continue to monitor the Fund's peers and expenses.

The Board then discussed the management fee of the UBS Asset Growth Fund. It was noted that the UBS Asset Growth Fund's management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group on a contractual basis. The Board noted that while the UBS Asset Growth Fund's contractual management fee was higher than the


120



The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements
(unaudited)

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 considered that the management fee of the UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund was slightly 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 second 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 next discussed the management fee of the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund. It was noted that the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund's management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group on a contractual basis, which led the Board to discuss this Fund's management fee with the Advisor. The Board noted that while the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund's contractual management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, the Fund's actual management fee compared more favorably to its peers. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the UBS Small Cap Growth Fund were comparable to the other funds in its peer group.

The Board also reviewed the expenses of the UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund and noted that the Fund's expenses were higher than the Fund's peers. The Board noted that the Fund's management fee on both a contractual and actual basis compared favorably to the management fee of its Lipper peers. The Advisor noted that the Fund's total expenses were higher than its peers primarily because the Fund was relatively newer and had less assets than many of the funds in its peer group. The Advisor also note that some of the UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund's peers maintain only limited or no exposure to securities denominated in local market currencies, which have additional expenses that are not associated with holding U.S. dollar-denominated debt.

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 Asset Growth Fund, UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, UBS Emerging Markets Debt 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 14, 2014

Dear Shareholder,

Investors cheered earlier this year as the bull market in US equities turned five years old. It has been a remarkable five years for US equity investors. In the depths of the "Great Recession," on March 9, 2009, the S&P 500 closed at 676.53, but on the same date this year, the index closed at 1,878.04, a gain of 178%. The anniversary of the equity bull market has inspired much reflection among investors, as opposing arguments have formed about the longevity of the market going forward.

Currently, both bullish and bearish investors have compelling arguments to support their positions. The case for a continuation of the bull market rests on expectations of low inflation, continued economic and corporate growth, and rising equity valuations. In this view, further equity market gains will be driven by a low inflationary environment, downward trending unemployment, continued consumer deleveraging and rising confidence, as well as increasing capital expenditures as corporations begin to focus on expansion. Conversely, the case for a market correction rests on assumptions of declining valuations, deteriorating profit margins and earnings disappointments. Those who support this view believe that a market correction could be led by rising interest rates, equity valuations that may appear to be overstretched versus historical averages and profit margins that, while currently above historical levels, may regress back toward their long-term mean. For mutual fund shareholders, however, long-term success will have less to do with how long the equity bull market runs and more with a long-term investment approach that will help achieve their desired outcomes despite the ups and downs of markets.

At UBS Global Asset Management, we are focused on managing funds that achieve our clients' objectives through sustainable investment outcomes. In addition to single-strategy, equity and fixed-income products, we have added funds that utilize innovative diversifiers intended to soften the impact of market swings. These funds diversify risk through strategies that are not bound by benchmarks, are expected often to benefit from both rising and falling security prices, and utilize cost-effective defensive investment strategies. UBS Global Asset Management was among the early leaders to evolve its product offerings with the intention of providing sustainable returns in up and down markets using these strategies. We believe that diversification is paramount to successful investment outcomes, irrespective of market conditions, and we will continue to offer clients products that aim to mitigate downside risk and provide durable returns through both up and down market cycles.

I am pleased to share that the client focus, investment discipline and strength of our firm recently garnered a prestigious accolade from Euromoney magazine. In its July 2014 issue, Euromoney named UBS "Best Global Bank," describing our firm as "a global wealth manager first and foremost, underpinned by a Swiss universal bank and a powerful asset management business...." This award is just one measure of how UBS is succeeding as a business by focusing on meeting clients' needs.

President's letter

Whatever the outcome of the current equity bull market, we remain focused on enabling our clients to achieve the outcomes they desire. As we continue to evolve our funds to provide sustainable performance in a variety of market conditions, we rely on our firm's client-oriented culture to guide everything we do. We embrace the responsibility of helping our clients meet their financial objectives and thank you for your continued trust in our skill and commitment to serve you.

Sincerely,

Mark E. Carver

The markets in review

Improving growth in the developed world

After three consecutive years of generally modest growth, the overall US economy contracted in the first quarter of 2014. Looking back, gross domestic product ("GDP") in the US grew at annualized rates of 4.5% and 3.5% during the third and fourth quarters of 2013, respectively. The Commerce Department then reported that first quarter 2014 GDP contracted at a 2.1% annualized rate. This was the first negative reading since the first quarter of 2011, and the downturn was partially attributed to severe winter weather in parts of the country. However, this proved to be a temporary setback for the economy, as GDP growth was 4.0% during the second quarter of 2014.1

The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") took a number of actions during the reporting period. In December 2013, the Fed announced that it would begin paring back its monthly asset purchases, stating "Beginning in January, the Committee will add to its holdings of agency mortgage-backed securities at a [reduced] pace of $35 billion per month rather than $40 billion per month, and will add to its holdings of longer-term Treasury securities at a [reduced] pace of $40 billion per month rather than $45 billion per month." At its meetings in January, March, April and June 2014, the Fed said it would further taper its asset purchases, in each case paring its total purchases a total of $10 billion per month. Beginning in July, the Fed will purchase a total of $35 billion per month ($15 billion per month of agency mortgage-backed securities and $20 billion per month of longer-term Treasuries). In the Fed's official statement it stated, "Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in April indicates that growth in economic activity has rebounded in recent months. Labor market indicators generally showed further improvement. The unemployment rate, though lower, remains elevated. Household spending appears to be rising moderately, and business fixed investment resumed its advance, while the recovery in the housing sector remained slow."

Growth outside the US generally improved. In its April 2014 World Economic Outlook Update, the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") reported that "Global activity has broadly strengthened and is expected to improve further in 2014–15, with much of the impetus coming from advanced economies." From a regional perspective, the IMF anticipates 2014 growth will be 1.2% in the Eurozone, versus a 0.5% contraction in 2013. Economic activity in Japan is expected to be relatively stable, with growth of 1.4% in 2014, compared with 1.5% in 2013. After decelerating in 2013, the IMF projects that overall growth in emerging market countries will experience an uptick to 4.9% in 2014, versus 4.7% in 2013.

Global equities rally sharply

Despite a number of headwinds, the global equity market was highly resilient and generated strong results during the reporting period. The market was volatile at times given mixed global growth, geopolitical issues and questions regarding future central bank monetary policy. However, investor demand was solid overall, as corporate profits often surprised and central banks largely remained highly accommodative. All told, the US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,2 gained 24.61% for the 12 months ended June 30, 2014. International developed equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net),3 also produced very strong results, gaining 23.57% during the period. Returns for emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net),4

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 designed to measure the investment returns of developed economies outside of North America. Net total return indices reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. 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 markets in review

were less robust, as they returned 14.31% over the same period. This was due to several factors, including concerns regarding China's ability to provide a soft landing for its economy.

The fixed income market performs well

The fixed income market surprised many investors, as it posted positive results during the reporting period as a whole. During the first half of the period, US Treasury yields moved higher and negatively impacted the overall bond market (yields and bond prices move in opposite directions). This was due to a number of factors, including continued economic growth and expectations that the Fed would begin tapering its asset purchase program. However, as discussed, the US economy weakened during the first quarter of 2014 and geopolitical concerns triggered several flights to quality. All told, the yield on the 10-year Treasury fell from 3.04% to 2.53% during the first six months of 2014. The overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Index,5 gained 4.37% during the 12 month reporting period and the US taxable spread sectors (non-US Treasury fixed income securities) generated positive absolute returns. Taking on greater risk was often rewarded, as investors looked to generate incremental yield in the low interest rate environment. For example, high yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index6 rose 11.70% during the reporting period. Elsewhere, emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),7 gained 11.05%.

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 capitalization weighted, so that larger bond issuers have a greater effect on the index's return. However, the representation of any single bond issuer 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 Asset Growth Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2014, Class A shares of UBS Asset Growth Fund (the "Fund") (previously UBS Global Frontier Fund) gained 18.75% (Class A shares returned 12.22% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares rose 19.12%. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI World Free Index (net) (the "Index") gained 24.05%. (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 8; 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.)

Special Fund Update

The Board of Trustees of The UBS Funds approved a name change and investment policy modifications to UBS Global Frontier Fund, which went into effect on October 28, 2013. Specifically:

•  The Fund's name was changed from UBS Global Frontier Fund to UBS Asset Growth Fund.

•  The Fund implemented a managed volatility strategy to seek to target a defined level of portfolio risk of 15% annual volatility or lower. Volatility is a risk measurement that measures the relative rate at which the price of a security moves up and down and is typically determined by calculating the annualized standard deviation of the daily change in price. Commonly, the higher the volatility the greater the risk of the security. The Fund may continue to use leverage to help implement the managed volatility strategy. While the Advisor will attempt to manage the Fund's volatility, there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its target and the actual volatility may be higher or lower than 15% over any period.

•  The Fund's exposure to underlying asset classes is now achieved primarily through passive index exposures and derivatives.

Please note, the transition of the Fund's portfolio largely occurred in December 2013.

The Fund produced a strong absolute return during the reporting period but underperformed the Index.

During the reporting period, we used derivatives for risk management purposes and as a tool to help enhance returns across various strategies. With respect to our active currency strategy, the utilization of currency forwards and currency futures had a direct positive impact on Fund performance. Various equity and fixed income futures and ETFs (exchange traded funds) were used to implement our market allocation strategy. Derivatives were just one tool, among others, that we used to implement our market allocation strategy. In aggregate, these derivatives contributed to performance during the reporting period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  The Fund's long directional position in most equity markets generated positive absolute returns.

  – The Fund's developed equity allocation was the greatest contributor to absolute performance, as it was the best performing asset class over the 12-month period.

  – Strong positive performance was achieved from the Fund's US large cap equities.

  – The Fund's European and UK equities were beneficial for performance.

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

UBS Asset Growth Fund

•  Several of the Fund's currency strategies were positive for performance.

  – A long position in the Australian dollar versus the US dollar was additive to results.

  – A long position in the Japanese yen relative to the US dollar was rewarded

  – A long position in the British pound relative to the US dollar was beneficial.

•  The Fund's position in certain alternative assets was beneficial. The Fund's long position in convertible bonds had a positive impact on performance.

•  Leverage enhanced the Fund's performance.

  – The Fund seeks to maintain a volatility target of 15% or less annually. As volatility of both equity and bond markets remained subdued over the period, the Fund used leverage in an attempt to maintain its target volatility. Given that leverage magnifies returns on the upside and the downside, the positive impact from our equity exposure was amplified and added to the Fund's results. As of June 30, 2014, the Fund's total market exposure was 169%.

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

  – The portfolio uses a managed volatility strategy based around a passive multi-asset portfolio (the "Baseline"). The Baseline takes into account the potential returns and risks of each asset class, as well as the expected diversification benefits from a multi-asset approach. Views of potential returns and risks are based on a 3–5 year time horizon. The Baseline is intended to be a dynamic structure, which may result in changes to the underlying asset allocation strategy as our outlook changes. No changes to the Baseline were made during the period. The Baseline began and ended the period with an allocation of 69% equities, 29% fixed income and 2% alternatives. During the period, market volatility and Fund-realized volatility were subdued and, therefore, the Fund maintained a leverage factor of approximately 170% to achieve target volatility at or below 15%. Actual realized volatility of the Fund over the period was approximately 12%.

What did not work:

•  A bias for non-US equities over US equities was not rewarded.

  – Our preference for international equities, including European and Japanese equities, detracted from performance, as US equities outperformed international equities.

  – While the Fund's position in emerging markets equities was positive on an absolute basis, relative to the benchmark this detracted from performance.

•  The Fund's position in fixed income securities detracted from performance on a relative basis.

  – The Fund's directional exposure to high yield and investment grade bonds was beneficial on an absolute basis, but since equities outperformed fixed income over the period, this position hindered performance relative to its benchmark.


6



UBS Asset Growth Fund

•  Certain currency positions were negative for performance.

  – The Fund's short position in the New Zealand dollar versus the US dollar detracted from results over the reporting period.

  – The Fund's short position in the Swiss franc versus the euro was not rewarded.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2013 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—2.06% and 1.56%; Class C—2.83% and 2.31%; Class Y—1.83% and 1.31%. 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, 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 Asset Growth Fund and the index is July 26, 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. Net total return indices reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. 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.

UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2014, Class A shares of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund (the "Fund") gained 6.31% (Class A shares returned 0.42% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares rose 6.45%. For purposes of comparison, the BofA Merrill Lynch US Treasury 1-5 Year Index returned 1.16% during the same time period, the MSCI World Free Index (net) returned 24.05% and the Citigroup One-Month US Treasury Bill Index returned 0.03%. (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 16; 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 our market allocation strategy.

During the review period, we used derivatives for risk management purposes and as a tool to help enhance returns across various strategies. With respect to our active currency strategy, utilizing currency forwards had a direct negative impact on Fund performance. We used a variety of equity and fixed income options, futures and swaps to implement our market allocation strategy. Derivatives were just one tool, among others, that we used to implement our market allocation strategy. These derivatives, in aggregate, contributed to performance during the period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

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

  – Net long positions in developed equities were additive to results.

  – A preference for Italian equities versus French equities was beneficial for the Fund's performance, as was our preference for Canadian versus Australian equities.

  – The relative value trade of US industrials over US consumer staples had a positive impact on returns.

•  Overall, the Fund's fixed income positioning contributed to performance

  – A long high yield bond position was beneficial. High yield spreads narrowed during the reporting period, given generally strong demand and improving fundamentals.

  – The Fund's allocation to short-dated Italian bonds was additive to performance.

  – An allocation to investment grade corporate bonds, as well as security selection within the sector, enhanced the Fund's results.

  – The Fund's position in French government bonds versus Japanese government bonds was rewarded.

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


14



UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

•  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 12-month period with a 36% net equity exposure and allowed this to drift higher, reaching a high in the upper 40% range in the fourth quarter of 2013. Prior to the Federal Reserve Board's (the "Fed") final meeting of 2013 in December, we reduced the Fund's net equity exposure to 20%. Following the meeting, with clearer forward guidance on the path of asset purchase tapering, we reallocated our cash back to risk assets. The portfolio ended the reporting period with a net equity position of 34%.

  – The Fund began the reporting period with a 30% allocation to fixed income and had an elevated cash exposure of 34%. This higher than usual cash position was due to our reducing the Fund's market exposure, particularly in fixed income during May and June 2013, prior to the beginning of the reporting period. The decision to reduce the Fund's market exposure was made in the wake of the Fed's comments about tapering its asset purchases. As the reporting period progressed, we redeployed our cash position into the fixed income and equity markets. At the end of the 12-month period, the Fund's fixed income allocation was 56% and its cash position had fallen to 10%.

What didn't work

•  A bias toward non-US equities versus US equities detracted from results.

  – The Fund's preference for international developed equities, which was largely allocated to European over US equities, was not rewarded, as the former lagged their US counterparts.

•  Certain of the Fund's fixed income exposures detracted from results.

  – The Fund's long position in UK gilts versus German bunds was not rewarded.

•  Overall, the Fund's currency strategy was negative for performance.

  – The Fund's short position in the New Zealand dollar was the largest detractor from performance during the reporting period.

  – The Fund's short position in the Swiss franc was negative over the reporting period.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2013 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.44% and 1.36%; Class C—2.20% and 2.11%; Class Y—1.13% 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, 2014, 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. Net total return indices reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. 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 one 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.

13  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 agreement less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

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

UBS Global Allocation Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2014, Class A shares of UBS Global Allocation Fund (the "Fund") returned 14.20% (Class A shares returned 7.91% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares returned 14.56%. The Fund's benchmark, the 60% MSCI All Country World Index (net)/40% Citigroup World Government Bond Index (hedged in USD) (the "Index"), returned 15.50% during the same time period. For comparison purposes, the MSCI All Country World Index (net) returned 22.95%, the Citigroup World Government Bond Index (hedged in USD) returned 4.81%, the Russell 3000 Index returned 25.22%, the MSCI World Free Index (net) returned 24.05% and the Citigroup World Government Bond Index returned 6.85% 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 37; 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 but lagged the benchmark. Positive performance was primarily due to our market allocation strategy and security selection.

During the review period, we used derivatives for risk management purposes and as a tool to help enhance returns across various strategies. With respect to our active currency strategy, the use of currency forwards had a direct negative impact on Fund performance. We used a variety of futures and forwards to implement our market allocation strategy. Derivatives were just one tool, among others, that we used to implement our market allocation strategy. These derivatives, in aggregate, contributed to performance during the period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  The Fund's positioning in fixed income contributed to performance.

  – The Fund maintained an underweight to fixed income during the period which, overall, was beneficial, as bonds underperformed during the period.

  – The Fund held a tactically short-duration position relative to the benchmark, particularly in US fixed income, which added to performance.

•  The Fund's positioning in the equity market was positive for performance.

  – The Fund's overweight to global equities added to performance, as this was the best-performing asset class over the period.

•  Overall, the Fund's security selection was beneficial to results.

  – The Fund's selection in US large cap equities contributed positively during the period.

•  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 12-month period with a net equity exposure of 64%. While net equity exposure fluctuated during the period, the Fund

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

UBS Global Allocation Fund

maintained an overweight to equities relative to the benchmark throughout the period. The Fund ended the period with a net equity exposure of 68%, inclusive of futures.

  – The Fund began the reporting period with a 20% allocation to fixed income and a cash exposure of 16%. As the reporting period progressed, we redeployed some of the Fund's cash into equity markets. At the end of the 12 month period, the Fund's fixed income allocation was 20% and its cash position had fallen to 12%.

What didn't work

•  A bias toward non-US equities versus US equities detracted from results

  – The Fund's preference for international developed equities—largely in Europe—over US equities was not rewarded, as US equities outperformed non-US equities during the period.

•  Certain of the Fund's fixed income exposures detracted from results.

  – The Fund's overweight position in Australian government bonds relative to the benchmark detracted from performance.

•  Overall, the Fund's currency strategy detracted from performance.

  – The Fund's short position in the New Zealand dollar was the greatest detractor from performance during the period.

  – The Fund's long position in the Japanese yen detracted from performance over the period.

  – The Fund's short position in the Swiss franc was negative for performance.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2013 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.36% and 1.36%; Class C—2.14% and 2.14%; Class Y—1.06% and 1.06%. 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, 2014, 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.

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 All Country World Index (net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. Net total return indices reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. 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.

5  The Citigroup World Government Bond Index (hedged in USD) 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 and is hedged back to the US dollar. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

6  The Russell 3000 Index is designed to measure the performance of the largest 3,000 US companies representing approximately 98% of the investable US equity market. The Russell 3000 Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive, unbiased, and stable barometer of the broad market and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

7  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. Net total return indices reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. 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.

8  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.

9  The 60% MSCI All Country World Index (net)/40% Citigroup World Government Bond Index (hedged in USD) is a unmanaged blended index compiled by the Advisor. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

10  Effective on January 31, 2014, the MSCI All Country World Index (net) and Citigroup World Government Bond Index (hedged in USD) replaced the Russell 3000 Index, MSCI World Free Index (net) and Citigroup World Government Bond Index as the Fund's primary benchmark indices because they better represent the Fund's portfolio composition and intended risk profile.

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.

4  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.

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 government security of the same maturity.

UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund

Portfolio performance

For the 12 months ended June 30, 2014, Class A shares of UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund (the "Fund") gained 8.94% (Class A shares returned 4.06% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class Y shares rose 9.32%. For comparison purposes, the Barclays US Corporate Investment Grade Index (the "Index"), returned 7.73% 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 52; 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 low to moderate risk profile for the Fund. We continued to place a strong emphasis on minimizing interest rate 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, 2014, the Fund's yield was 3.32% and 3.56%% 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 reporting period, we used derivatives, including writing covered calls2, to increase cash flow and reduce the risk profile of the Fund's allocation to international equities. We also utilized derivatives, including currency forwards, to hedge our exposures to international currency risk, as well as Treasury futures to manage duration and the Fund's yield curve positioning. 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 the Fund's ability to meet our low-to-moderate risk targets.

Portfolio performance summary3

What worked

The Fund's corporate bond exposure was beneficial for performance

  – The Fund's high yield corporate bond allocation represented the largest portion of the Fund's portfolio, as well as the largest contributor to its performance. The sector was supported by accelerating economic growth, generally solid corporate fundamentals, low defaults and overall robust investor demand.

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.

2  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.

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

UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund

  – Our exposure to investment grade corporate bonds contributed to performance as credit spreads continued to compress as investors bid up high credit quality debt securities seeking yield and stability in the current market environment.

•  The Fund's allocation to global dividend paying stocks, including emerging market equities, was beneficial for its performance.

  – The Fund maintained on average an estimated 20% allocation to global dividend paying stocks during the reporting period. While these stocks experienced periods of volatility as interest rates fluctuated, they generated strong results overall. They were also a strong contributor to both yield and total returns.

•  The Fund's exposures to global infrastructure stocks enhanced the Fund's yield.

  – The Fund had approximately 5% of its assets in global infrastructure stocks during the reporting period. 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 provided an attractive prospect for yield-seeking investors.

•  Asset allocation strategies were beneficial for the Fund.

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

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

What didn't work

•  Certain hedging instruments detracted from results. Given the market's overall positive performance during the reporting period, certain hedging instruments used in emerging markets, as well as duration overlay strategies that were used to manage the Fund'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, 2014, 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  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.

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

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, 2014, the value of this security amounted to $577,591 or 2.45% of net assets.

4  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, 2014, the value of this security amounted to $577,591 or 2.45% of net assets.

5  Amount represents less than 0.005%.

GE  General Electric

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.

TBA  (To be announced) Security is purchased on a forward commitment basis with an approximate principal amount

(generally +/-1.0%) and no definite maturity date. The actual principal amount and maturity date will be determined upon settlement, when the specific mortgage pools are assigned.

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

Explanation of expense disclosure

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transactional costs (as applicable); including sales charges (loads); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; 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, 2014 to June 30, 2014.

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, 2014 to June 30, 2014.

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.

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 Asset Growth Fund (formerly, UBS Global Frontier Fund), UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, and UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund (each a "Fund", and collectively, the "Funds"). At Board meetings held in December 2013 and April 2014, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") approved certain changes to the Class Y shares of each series of the Trust to permit wrap fee advisory program accounts to purchase Class Y shares. The Board also approved the tax-free conversion of wrap fee advisory program accounts currently holding Class A shares or Class C shares (post-CDSC) into Class Y shares. In connection with these changes, the Board approved the redesignation of Class Y shares as Class P shares, effective on or about July 28, 2014.

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-

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 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 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 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.


85



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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.

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, 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.

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

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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, 2014 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of June 30, 2014, 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, 2014, except for forward foreign currency contracts for UBS Asset Growth Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund for which the average volume during the year was greater than at year end.

The Funds typically enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements ("ISDA Master Agreements") or similar master agreements (collectively, "Master Agreements") with its OTC derivative contract counterparties in order to, among other things, reduce its credit risk to counterparties. ISDA Master Agreements include provisions for general obligations, representations, collateral and events of default or termination. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Funds typically may offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument's payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment (close-out netting) in the event of default or termination.

The provisions of ASC Topic 210 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" require disclosure on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. The offsetting disclosures are limited to derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and security lending and borrowing transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement ("MNA") or similar agreement.

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 of investments 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


94



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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: 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.


95



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 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, 2014 for which a Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed under the section "Credit default swaps on corporate issues—sell protection" and "Centrally cleared credit default swaps on credit indices—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 UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 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


97



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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. There were no short sale transactions for UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund during the year ended June 30, 2014.

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.

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, 2014, the following Fund recorded recaptured commissions which are reflected on the Statement of operations within the net realized gains (losses) on investments in unaffiliated issuers:

O. Redemption fees: Each class of each series of The UBS Funds will impose a 1% redemption fee on shares sold or exchanged within 90 days of their purchase date, subject to limited exceptions. This amount is paid to the applicable Fund, not the Advisor or UBS Global 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, 2014, redemption fees for each Fund amounted to less than $0.01 per share and less than 0.01% of average net assets.

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, 2014 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.

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, 2014 and for the year then ended have been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

3. Distribution and service plans

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 Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Asset 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. In addition, UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund and UBS Global Allocation Fund received US government agency securities as collateral with a market value of $933,255 and $583,893, respectively, which cannot be resold. The value of loaned securities and related collateral at June 30, 2014 was as follows:

7. Federal income taxes

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

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 were as follows:

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act"), net capital losses recognized by the Funds after December 22, 2010, may be carried forward indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term losses. The Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.

At June 30, 2014, the following Funds had pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains through the indicated expiration dates:

ASC 740-10 "Income Taxes—Overall" sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken. The Funds have conducted an analysis and concluded as of June 30, 2014 that there are no significant uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition in the financial statements. It is each Fund's policy to record any significant foreign tax exposures in the financial statements. 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 ended June 30, 2014, the Funds did not incur


104



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

any interest or penalties. Capital gains realized by the Funds on securities issued in or by certain foreign countries may be subject to capital gains tax imposed by those countries.

Each of the tax years in the four year period ended June 30, 2014, 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 outstanding as of or during the year ended June 30, 2014.

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 Asset Growth Fund (formerly UBS Global Frontier Fund), UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund (four of the series comprising The UBS Funds) (collectively the "Funds") as of June 30, 2014, and the related statements of operations for the year the 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, 2014, 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 Asset Growth Fund, UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund at June 30, 2014, the results of their operations 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 5 and 6, 2014 (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 Asset Growth Fund (formerly, UBS Global Frontier Fund), UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund (formerly, 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, UBS Core Plus Bond Fund and UBS Emerging Markets Debt 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 May 30, 2014, June 5, 2014 and June 6, 2014, 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 addi-


110



The UBS Funds

tion, the Board considered the presentations provided with respect to distribution strategies for the Funds. 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 Asset Growth Fund, UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund, UBS Equity Opportunity Fund, UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, and UBS Core Plus Bond Fund each had appeared in one of the top three performance quintiles for the one-year performance period. At the Board's request, the Advisor further addressed the performance data for the UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund, UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and UBS Emerging Markets Debt 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 Multi-Asset Income Fund, the Advisor discussed the factors that had affected the performance of the Fund over the past year. The Advisor noted that the UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund pursues a tactical income strategy to provide risk-managed income over the long-term. The Advisor noted that the Fund produced positive performance for the year and outperformed its benchmark index. The Advisor noted the Fund's relative underperformance compared to its Lipper peer group was due to the variety of different strategies of the funds included in the peer group. The Advisor noted that the UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund was designed for a conservative income investor that seeks a positive income stream through various market conditions. The Advisor stated that the Fund's performance results during the past year were consistent with the Fund's investment objective.

The Advisor then discussed the performance of the UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund. The Advisor stated that the main reason for the Fund's underperformance relative to its peers was due to the transition in strategy during the past year from international equity to global sustainable equity. Due to the strong performance of the U.S. market over the past year, international strategies on average underperformed global strategies, which distorted this transitioning Fund's performance versus its global equity peers.

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, and that additional investment sleeves had been added in 2013. The Advisor stated that since the transition to the new strategy, the Fund has experienced better risk-adjusted performance. The Advisor reported that it believed that the Fund's relative performance versus its peers would fare better in down markets.

In discussing the performance of the UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund for the one-year performance period, the Advisor explained that the Fund's defensive strategy was the primary reason for the Fund's underperformance as compared to its peer universe. The Advisor noted that the options overlay strategy for the Fund, which reduced the volatility profile of the Fund, detracted from the Fund's performance. The Advisor stated the options overlay strategy should benefit the Fund's relative performance when the U.S. equity market experiences a down turn.


111



The UBS Funds

The Advisor next addressed the relative underperformance of the UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund with respect to the Fund's peers. The Fund produced a small positive return over the period; however, produced weaker peer relative rankings. Its weaker relative performance as compared to its peer universe was largely attributable to the composition of the Fund's current absolute return peer group. The peer group contains a wide mix of funds that are managed to varying risk/return objectives and follow investment strategies that may not be similar to the Fund. This includes strategies with sizable allocation to equity markets, such as asset allocation funds, which benefited from equity exposure in a positive equity market.

With respect to the performance of the UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund, the Advisor noted that the Fund underperformed relative to its peer universe. The Advisor explained that the Fund's relative underperformance as compared to its peers was due primarily to the Fund's investments in longer duration Brazil debt and its overweight to local currencies as compared to its peers. The Advisor explained that U.S. dollar-denominated debt generally outperformed local currency debt during the period and noted that any fund that allocated more heavily to local markets would reflect lower performance rankings.

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 Global Allocation Fund, UBS Asset Growth Fund, UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund and UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth 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, except for UBS Global Allocation Fund and UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund.

The Board first discussed the management fee and expenses of the UBS Global Allocation Fund. It was noted that the contractual management fee, actual management fee and total expenses for the UBS Global Allocation Fund were each slightly higher than the fees and expenses of several of the funds in its Lipper expense group. The Advisor noted that changes to the funds in the peer group and a reduction in the UBS Global Allocation Fund's assets caused the Fund's relative lower rankings. The Board, however, noted that the Fund's management fee and expenses were each reasonable considering that neither the management fee nor the Fund's total expenses were significantly higher than the respective Lipper expense group medians. The Board will continue to monitor the Fund's peers and expenses.

The Board then discussed the management fee of the UBS Asset Growth Fund. It was noted that the UBS Asset Growth Fund's management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group on a contractual basis. The Board noted that while the UBS Asset Growth Fund's contractual management fee was higher than the


112



The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements (unaudited)

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 considered that the management fee of the UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund was slightly 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 second 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 next discussed the management fee of the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund. It was noted that the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund's management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group on a contractual basis, which led the Board to discuss this Fund's management fee with the Advisor. The Board noted that while the UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund's contractual management fee was higher than the median of the Fund's Lipper expense group, the Fund's actual management fee compared more favorably to its peers. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the UBS Small Cap Growth Fund were comparable to the other funds in its peer group.

The Board also reviewed the expenses of the UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund and noted that the Fund's expenses were higher than the Fund's peers. The Board noted that the Fund's management fee on both a contractual and actual basis compared favorably to the management fee of its Lipper peers. The Advisor noted that the Fund's total expenses were higher than its peers primarily because the Fund was relatively newer and had less assets than many of the funds in its peer group. The Advisor also note that some of the UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund's peers maintain only limited or no exposure to securities denominated in local market currencies, which have additional expenses that are not associated with holding U.S. dollar-denominated debt.

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.


113



The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreements (unaudited)

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 Asset Growth Fund, UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund, UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund, UBS Emerging Markets Debt 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.

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:

 

Audit-Related Fees:

 

There were no amounts that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 on behalf of the registrant.
