President's letter

February 17, 2015

Dear Shareholder,

Almost six years after the end of the Great Recession, the US economy is firmly leading the global recovery. But sluggish growth in other developed countries and weakening growth in emerging markets paint a decidedly mixed global economic picture, which, along with geopolitical risks around the world, are feeding a general mood of uncertainty. In this environment, the temptation may be strong for investors to concentrate their portfolios within their borders, but the wisdom of holding a diversified portfolio is timeless. And it is during times of uncertainty that it is more important than ever to have a partner that understands and can navigate complex global markets to build portfolios that balance risks and rewards.

There are many concrete signs that the US economy is beginning to meaningfully strengthen and is well-positioned for future growth. The US added 3 million jobs in 2014, the most since 1999, and the price of oil fell 46% during the year, saving Americans an estimated $14 billion at the pump. In all, Americans are feeling better about the state of the economy, with consumer confidence at its highest level since October 2007, before the Great Recession began. Looking forward, economists are predicting US gross domestic product ("GDP") growth to exceed 3% in 2015, which would be its highest growth rate in ten years. Employment in the US should continue to improve this year, while lower oil prices keep inflation muted.

Internationally, confidence in the strength of America's main economic indicators is contributing to the rising value of the US dollar. The accelerating US recovery comes as growth in China appears to be slowing, Japan emerges from its fourth recession since 2008, and the Eurozone as well as many commodity-exporting economies show weakness. The divergence between the US and other world economies is most apparent in the 2014 GDP figures. While the US economy posted 2.4% GDP growth in 2014, the Eurozone and Japan grew by an estimated 0.8% and 0.9%, respectively, over the same period. The European Central Bank recently initiated a quantitative easing (QE) program, similar to the one just ended in the US, in an effort to stimulate the Eurozone economy. Growth is weakening in emerging markets countries, even as they continue to grow faster than their developed counterparts. China's 2014 GDP growth of 7.3% looks impressive at first glance but is the country's slowest growth rate since 1990. More broadly, emerging markets growth decelerated to 4.4% in 2014 from 4.7% in 2013. In a generally weak global environment, investors are looking to the United States as a country with a relatively attractive economy. The US dollar has risen about 15% against other major currencies since mid-2014, as investors around the globe have brought their capital to the United States.

In this environment, investors face a new set of challenges, some of them unexpected. The rising strength of the US dollar has far-reaching effects on the global investment landscape. As with any major economic trend, there are winners and losers. On the positive side, US consumers benefit. The stronger US dollar contributes to lower oil prices by reducing the cost of imports, which also keeps inflation in check. This, in turn, boosts the real disposable income of the average American household. On the other hand, the impact on businesses is decidedly more mixed. The upside is that American companies that source most of their materials from abroad will find them less expensive, which could boost profit margins or allow savings to be passed on to consumers. Foreign firms that export products to the US also benefit, as their products become relatively less expensive for US consumers.

But the strengthening US dollar also can negatively impact both US and foreign-based businesses. In the US, almost half of the revenues of S&P 500 companies come from overseas, and an even higher share of net profits. Because these transactions are recorded in currencies that are weakening against the US dollar, it has the same effect as if these US-based companies were selling their products at a discount. Internationally, some companies in

President's letter

emerging markets economies obtain financing denominated in US dollars to hedge against uncertainty in their local currencies. Many of these companies may now need to raise more cash in their own currencies to repay their dollar-denominated debt, negatively impacting their financial positions.

Amid this mixed picture, investors may be challenged to find investments that may profit from current trends and avoid those that could be negatively impacted. In this environment, we believe investors can benefit from the resources of a global partner that has a comprehensive understanding of investment risks and opportunities, as UBS Global Asset Management does. Our research capabilities and global perspective are crucial elements in navigating the far-reaching effects of economic trends and pursuing the best investment outcomes for our clients. This knowledge and discernment informs our ability to actively manage the UBS family of funds with an eye toward benefiting from major trends, while mitigating downside risks.

UBS Global Asset Management remains committed to applying rigorous research and active management to achieve the sustainable performance that our clients need in order to meet their goals. As we continue to evolve our funds to take advantage of changing market conditions, we rely on our firm's client-oriented culture to guide everything we do. It is in this spirit, responding to clients' needs, that we recently introduced the newest member of the UBS fund family: The UBS Municipal Bond Fund. The fund provides a powerful diversifier for individuals interested in potentially tax-free income. By drawing upon proprietary credit research to scrutinize underlying issuers, the UBS Municipal Bond Fund uses active management to gain an information edge in the market.

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

Mixed growth in the developed world

The Commerce Department reported that gross domestic product ("GDP") grew at a 5.0% seasonally adjusted annualized rate during the third quarter of 2014, and its initial estimate for fourth-quarter GDP growth was 2.6%.1 This followed the first quarter's contraction in GDP of 2.1%, a temporary setback for the economy after three consecutive years of generally modest growth, which was followed by second quarter GDP growth of 4.6%.

The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") largely maintained its accommodative monetary policy during the reporting period. The central bank continued to hold the federal funds rate at a historically low range between 0% and 0.25%. The federal funds rate or the "fed funds rate," is the rate banks charge one another for funds they borrow on an overnight basis. During the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Fed wound down its asset purchase program, also known as quantitative easing or QE, a process called tapering, which it began in January 2014. At its meeting in December 2013, the Fed said "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." The Fed further reduced QE over several months, and its meeting in October, it said it had concluded its asset purchase program. Finally, at its meeting that concluded on December 17, 2014, the Fed said "Based on its current assessment, the Committee judges that it can be patient in beginning to normalize the stance of monetary policy."

In its October 2014 World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") said "Despite setbacks, an uneven global recovery continues. In advanced economies, the legacies of the pre-crisis boom and the subsequent crisis, including high private and public debt, still cast a shadow on the recovery. Emerging markets are adjusting to rates of economic growth lower than those reached in the pre-crisis boom and the post-crisis recovery." From a regional perspective, the IMF estimates 2014 growth was 0.8% in the eurozone, versus -0.4% in 2013. Japan's economy is expected to have grown 0.9% in 2014, compared to 1.5% in 2013. Elsewhere, the IMF estimates that overall growth in emerging market countries decelerated in 2014, with expected growth of 4.4% versus 4.7% in 2013.

Positive returns for higher-quality fixed income securities

When 2014 began, there were expectations that the US economy would continue to expand and that Treasury yields would move higher. As discussed, while the US economy was initially weak, it quickly recovered and grew at a solid pace. However, concerns about global growth, sharply falling oil prices and geopolitical concerns triggered several flights to quality. Against this backdrop, the yield on the 10-year Treasury fell from 2.53% to 2.17% during the reporting period, and the overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Index,2 gained 1.96%. Riskier fixed income securities produced weak results during the six months ended December 31, 2014. High yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index3 declined 2.93% during the reporting period. Emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),4 fell 3.27%.

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 six months ended December 31, 2014, Class A shares of UBS Core Plus Bond Fund (the "Fund") gained 2.20% (Class A shares returned -2.37% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares rose 2.23%. The Fund's benchmark, the Barclays US Aggregate Index (the "Index"), returned 1.96% over the same time period. (Class P shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 6; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund posted a positive return during the reporting period, largely due to currency management and yield curve positioning.

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. While derivatives play a role in the overall portfolio construction process, they are just one of the tools we use to manage the Fund's overall risk exposure and to implement the aforementioned strategies. Overall, while spread management detracted, currency strategies and yield curve management contributed to results over the period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Currency positioning was additive to performance during the reporting period. The US dollar continued to appreciate against a basket of developed market currencies during the reporting period. We generally maintained a positive view on the US dollar versus other developed market currencies, primarily the euro and the Japanese yen. This was based on diverging economic trends and central bank policies. In particular, we favored the US dollar over currencies of countries with weaker growth prospects or the potential for more supportive monetary policy.

•  Yield curve positioning was additive to performance. The Fund was positioned to benefit from a flattening of the yield curve. (When the yield curve flattens, the difference in yields between long-term bonds and short-term bonds decreases, either as a result of longer-term bond yields declining or shorter-term bond yields increasing.) This played out during the reporting period, as shorter-term yields modestly increased and investors started to price in the likelihood of rate hikes by the Federal Reserve Board. In contrast, longer-term yields declined given solid investor demand.

UBS Core Plus Bond Fund

What didn't work

•  The Fund's allocation to US high yield corporate bonds detracted from performance. High yield corporate bond spreads widened substantially during the reporting period, mostly driven by the energy sector following the precipitous decline in the price of oil. The energy sector has broadly fallen in price, negatively impacting many companies that are less directly impacted by oil. Therefore, in addition to closely reassessing existing holdings at current valuations, we are looking to identify possible buying opportunities for companies that we like on a fundamental level and that have been affected as part of the overall risk-off environment.

•  Security selection of investment grade corporate bonds detracted from performance. In particular, the Fund's energy-related issues underperformed on the heels of volatility in the price of oil coupled with a seasonal lack of liquidity at the end of the year.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2014 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.70% and 0.65%; Class C—2.29% and 1.15%; Class P—1.39% and 0.40%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Trust, with respect to the Fund, and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc., the Fund's investment advisor ("UBS Global AM (Americas)" or the "Advisor"), have entered into a written agreement pursuant to which the Advisor has agreed to waive a portion of its management fees and/or to reimburse expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses), through the period ending October 27, 2015, do not exceed 0.64% for Class A shares, 1.14% for Class C shares and 0.39% for Class P 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  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.

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.

Prior to February 17, 2015, 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. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015, there will be a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Shares that an investor holds or purchases prior to implementation of this new holding period are subject to preexisting terms for the holding period as outlined in the prospectus.

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

2  Security, or portion thereof, was on loan at December 31, 2014.

3  Variable or floating rate security—The interest rate shown is the current rate as of December 31, 2014 and changes periodically.

4  Perpetual investment. Date shown reflects the next call date.

5  Step bond—Coupon rate increases in increments to maturity. Rate disclosed is as of December 31, 2014. Maturity date disclosed is the ultimate maturity date.

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 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 December 31, 2014, the value of this security amounted to $94,384 or 0.31% of net assets.

UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2014, Class A shares of UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund (the "Fund") fell 9.19% (Class A shares declined 13.24% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares declined 9.17%. For comparison purposes, the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global) fell 3.27%, and the Emerging Markets Debt Benchmark Index (the "Index") declined 7.22% over the same time period. (Class P 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.)

Special Note

On or about February 24, 2015, UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund will be liquidated and the proceeds distributed to the Fund's shareholders. Please see the supplement to the Fund's prospectus dated December 19, 2014 for more information regarding the liquidation.

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 volatile and generated weak results during the reporting period. After posting modest gains in July and August, the asset class fell sharply in September. This was triggered by a number of factors, including increased investor risk aversion, rising US Treasury yields and signs of moderating growth in many developed and emerging markets countries. After posting a positive return in October and treading water in November, the asset class again declined in December. Local currency denominated emerging markets debt substantially underperformed US dollar-denominated emerging markets debt due to sharply falling oil and other commodity prices, renewed global growth concerns and the rising US dollar. Over the six-month period, the Fund's underperformance versus the Index was partially due to country selection.

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 used to manage the Fund's currency exposure. Overall, the Fund's currency allocations modestly contributed to performance relative to the Index. The Fund also utilized interest rate derivatives, including 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 was negative for performance. Although derivatives play a role in the overall portfolio construction process, they are just one of the tools we used to manage the Fund's overall risk exposure and to implement the aforementioned strategies.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  An underweight to Ukrainian US dollar-denominated debt was beneficial for results. The country's economy deteriorated further during the reporting period, and Ukraine needs long-term financial support to service its debt obligations.

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

UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund

•  Security selection in Venezuela was additive for performance. Our holdings within the country outperformed the Venezuela Index, particularly bonds of Petróleos de Venezuela, the Venezuelan state-owned oil and natural gas company.

•  The use of certain hedging instruments was rewarded. In particular, hedging a portion of the Fund's emerging market US dollar-denominated exposure was beneficial when the asset class sold off late in the reporting period.

What didn't work

•  An overweight to Venezuelan US dollar-denominated debt detracted from results. Venezuela performed poorly due to declining oil prices, coupled with political and economic uncertainties.

•  An overweight and security selection of Russian sovereign and quasi-sovereign bonds were negative for performance. Investor sentiment for Russia further weakened during the fourth quarter, as oil prices collapsed and it appeared more likely that Russia would fall into a recession. Ongoing geopolitical issues surrounding the country also weighed on the Fund's holdings.

•  Overweights to countries that are closely tied to Russia's economy detracted from performance. In particular, the Fund's allocations to Belarus and Kazakhstan negatively impacted performance.

•  The Fund's short duration was not rewarded.

•  Underweights in several oil-importing countries detracted from performance. Oil importing countries performed relatively well during the reporting period given sharply falling oil prices. As such, the Fund's underweights in local debt in countries such as Hungary, Poland and Thailand were negative for performance.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2014 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—15.41% and 1.25%; Class C—15.92% and 1.75%; Class P—2.02% and 1.00%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Trust, with respect to the Fund, and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc., the Fund's investment advisor ("UBS Global AM (Americas)" or the "Advisor"), have entered into a written agreement pursuant to which the Advisor has agreed to waive a portion of its management fees and/or to reimburse expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short) to the extent necessary so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short), through the period ending October 28, 2023, do not exceed 1.25% for Class A shares, 1.75% for Class C shares and 1.00% for Class P 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 Emerging Markets Debt Fund is July 23, 2012. Inception date of the indices, for the purpose of this illustration, is July 31, 2012.

2  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 4.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 0.75% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 distribution and service fees.

4  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.

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

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

Prior to February 17, 2015, 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. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015, there will be a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Shares that an investor holds or purchases prior to implementation of this new holding period are subject to preexisting terms for the holding period as outlined in the prospectus.

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

Portfolio footnotes

1  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. Regulation S applies to securities offerings that are made outside of the United States and do not involve direct selling efforts in the United States. At December 31, 2014, the value of these securities amounted to $7,038,943 or 34.55% of net assets.

2  Variable or floating rate security—The interest rate shown is the current rate as of December 31, 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 December 31, 2014, the value of these securities amounted to $2,920,456 or 14.33% 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 security of the same maturity.

6  Step bond—Coupon rate increases in increments to maturity. Rate disclosed is as of December 31, 2014. Maturity date disclosed is the ultimate maturity date.

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.

UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2014, Class A shares of UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund (the "Fund") declined 2.79% (Class A shares fell 7.14% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares declined 2.69%. For comparison purposes, The BofA Merrill Lynch US Dollar 3-Month Deposit Offered Rate Constant Maturity Index (the "Index") gained 0.11% over the same time period. (Class P 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's negative return during the reporting period was driven by factors including corporate credit, interest rate strategies and emerging markets debt. These negatives more than offset the positive impact of the Fund's developed-market currency exposure and allocation to securitized 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. Spread management was overall negative for performance, but some spread sectors contributed positively. A spread sector refers to non-government fixed income sectors, such as investment grade or high yield bonds, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), etc. Currency positioning positively contributed to results during the reporting period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  The Fund's active currency management was positive for results during the reporting period.

  – The Fund's exposure to the US dollar against a basket of developed market currencies during the period contributed to performance. At various times during the period, the Fund was long the US dollar against the euro, Japanese yen, Swiss franc, New Zealand dollar, Australian dollar and British pound. The US dollar appreciated during the period, and the US dollar index reached an eight-year high at the end of 2014.

•  Certain securitized and collateralized debt assets contributed to performance during the period.

  – The Fund's holdings of commercial mortgage-backed securities outperformed other spread products. We believe these securities are undervalued in certain parts of the capital structure and offer attractive spreads relative to other similarly-rated securities.

  – The Fund's small allocation to collateralized loan obligations modestly contributed to performance during the period.

1  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 corporate credit was negative for performance during the period.

  – The Fund's allocation to both investment grade and high yield corporate debt was negative for performance, as their spreads widened during the period.

  – Security selection in the energy sector detracted from performance, as the sharp fall in the price of oil led to weak results for companies in oil-related industries. High yield energy credits, in particular, underperformed due to the drop in the price of oil. The negative performance from security selection was partially offset by beta index hedging.

•  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. Intermediate- and longer-term US interest rates declined during the period, while volatility was mixed.

•  The Fund's allocation to emerging markets debt and currencies detracted from performance.

  – Emerging markets were also affected by the steep decline in the price of oil, particularly those countries that are oil exporters.

  – Security selection within emerging markets debt was negative for performance, but was offset somewhat by beta index hedging.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2014 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.52% and 1.04%; Class C—2.02% and 1.54%; Class P—1.23% and 0.79%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Trust, with respect to the Fund, and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc., the Fund's investment advisor ("UBS Global AM (Americas)" or the "Advisor"), have entered into a written agreement pursuant to which the Advisor has agreed to waive a portion of its management fees and/or to reimburse expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short) to the extent necessary so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and dividend expense and security loan fees for securities sold short), through the period ending October 27, 2015, do not exceed 0.95% for Class A shares, 1.45% for Class C shares and 0.70% for Class P 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  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.

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.

Prior to February 17, 2015, 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. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015, there will be a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Shares that an investor holds or purchases prior to implementation of this new holding period are subject to preexisting terms for the holding period as outlined in the prospectus.

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

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.

16  Payment is based on the performance of the underlying iBoxx USD Liquid High Yield Index.

17  Transfers out of Level 3 represent the value at the end of the period. At December 31, 2014, securities were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 as the valuations are based on observable inputs from an established pricing source.

UBS Municipal Bond Fund

Portfolio performance

For the period from its inception on November 10, 2014 through December 31, 2014, Class A shares of UBS Municipal Bond Fund (the "Fund") gained 0.87% (Class A shares declined 1.40% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares rose 0.89%. For comparison purposes, the Fund's benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index (the "Index"), returned 0.94%, and the Barclays Municipal Managed Money Intermediate (1–17) Index returned 0.79% over the same time period. (Class P shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 49; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder could 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 used futures during the reporting period to adjust its duration positioning. Overall, our duration strategy contributed to results, while yield curve positioning detracted from Index-relative performance.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  An underweight to the 1-5 year portion of the municipal yield curve was additive for performance during the reporting period. The shorter portion of the municipal yield curve was the weakest performer. As such, having an underweight to this segment of the curve was a positive for the Fund's results.

What didn't work

•  Yield curve positioning, overall, was detrimental to results during the period. The Fund's yield curve positioning was negative overall. In particular, the Fund's underweight versus the Index to securities with maturities of 22+ years detracted from results, as this was the best-performing portion of the curve. (The yield curve plots the interest rates, at a set point in time, of bonds having equal credit quality, but differing maturity dates.)

•  Our quality biases detracted from performance. An underweight to lower-quality BBB rated securities was not rewarded, as they generated the strongest results from a quality perspective during the reporting period. Also detracting from performance was our overweight to higher-quality AAA rated securities, as they lagged the Index.

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

This letter is intended to assist shareholders in understanding how the Fund performed during the period from its inception on November 10, 2014 through December 31, 2014.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2014 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.82% and 0.65%; Class C—2.32% and 1.15%; Class P—1.57% and 0.40%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Trust, with respect to the Fund, and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc., the Fund's investment advisor ("UBS Global AM (Americas)" or the "Advisor"), have entered into a written agreement pursuant to which the Advisor has agreed to waive a portion of its management fees and/or to reimburse expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary so that the Fund's ordinary operating expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses), through the period ending October 27, 2015, do not exceed 0.65% for Class A shares, 1.15% for Class C shares and 0.40% for Class P 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 Municipal Bond Fund and the indices is November 10, 2014.

2  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 2.25%. 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  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.

5  The Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index designed to measure the total return of the US dollar denominated long-term tax exempt bond market. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

6  The Barclays Municipal Managed Money Intermediate (1-17) Index is an unmanaged sub-index of the Barclays Municipal Managed Money Index, which is a rules-based, market-value-weighted index designed to track the performance of municipal securities issued by state and local municipalities whose interest is exempt from federal income tax and the federal alternative minimum tax. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

Prior to February 17, 2015, 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. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015, there will be a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Shares that an investor holds or purchases prior to implementation of this new holding period are subject to preexisting terms for the holding period as outlined 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 could pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates. Total returns for periods of less than one year have not been annualized. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted.

GS  Goldman Sachs

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.

LIBOR  London Interbank Offered Rate

MXIBTIIE  Mexico Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate

OJSC  Open Joint Stock Company

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.

PSF-GTD  Permanent School Fund Guaranteed

REIT  Real Estate Investment Trust

REMIC  Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit

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

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

The UBS Funds

December 31, 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, July 1, 2014 to December 31, 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 July 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014.

1  UBS Municipal Bond Fund commenced operations on November 10, 2014. Actual expense is equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratios from the commencement of investment operations date, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 51 divided by 365 (to reflect the actual days in the period). For comparability purposes, hypothetical expense assumes that the Fund was in operation for the entire six-month period ended December 31, 2014. Thus, the hypothetical expense is equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 divided by 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

1  For Class A, the maximum sales charge is 4.50% for each Fund, Classes C and P have no front-end sales charges. 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 P 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. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015, there will be a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Shares that an investor holds or purchases prior to implementation of this new holding period are subject to preexisting terms for the holding period as outlined 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 period reported, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any, at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates, and a sale at net asset value on the last day of each period reported. The figures do not include any applicable sales charges; results would be lower if they were included. Total investment return for periods of less than one year has not been annualized. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends/distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

1. Organization and significant accounting policies

The UBS Funds (the "Trust") is registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), as amended, as an open-end management investment company currently offering multiple series representing separate investment portfolios. The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust organized on August 13, 1993. The trustees of the Trust have the authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at a par value of $0.001 per share.

The Trust has 14 Funds available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies. The following four funds are covered in this report: UBS Core Plus Bond Fund, UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and UBS Municipal Bond 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

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 owned asset management subsidiary of UBS Group AG. UBS Group AG an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland UBS Group AG operates 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

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

instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation, (2) the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses be disclosed in a tabular format, and (3) information be disclosed about credit-risk contingent features of derivatives contracts. Details of this disclosure can be found below as well as in the Portfolio of investments. Swap agreements, forward foreign currency contracts, swaptions and options written entered into by a Fund may contain credit-risk related contingent features that could be triggered subject to certain circumstances. Such circumstances include agreed upon net asset value thresholds. If triggered, the derivative counterparty could request additional cash margin and/or terminate the derivative contract. The aggregate fair value of the derivative contracts that are in a net liability position that contain these triggers can be found in the Portfolio of investments. The aggregate fair value of assets that are already posted as collateral as of December 31, 2014 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of December 31, 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 period ended December 31, 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.

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.

During prior fiscal years, the amortization of premium and accretion of inflationary income for certain securities was accounted for incorrectly. This resulted in an understatement of net investment income and an overstatement of realized and unrealized gains/losses for the UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund (the "Fund"). As such, there was no corresponding impact to the net assets or the net asset value per share of the Fund in any prior year since this represented only a reclassification between income and capital accounts. The impact of these misclassifications was immaterial, and therefore, no changes to prior year reported amounts have been recorded. During the current fiscal year, the amortization of premium and recognition of inflationary income was calculated using the US GAAP


82



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

approved method over the remaining contractual maturity period. The cumulative impact of these adjustments on the components of net assets as of the beginning of the year was to increase net unrealized depreciation by $54,841 (as a result of the change to amortized cost of impacted portfolio securities), decrease distributions in excess of net investment income by $66,563 and increase accumulated realized loss by $11,722.

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

Although the net assets and the market value of each Fund's portfolio are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of each Fund's fiscal period, the Funds do not generally isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of the changes in market prices of securities. However, the Funds do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the realized gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency-denominated securities pursuant to US federal income tax regulations. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with US federal income tax regulations.

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

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

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

F. Futures contracts: 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


83



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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

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

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

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

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

Certain Funds may enter into currency swap agreements with another party to receive or pay amounts based on changes in currency exchange rates in order to protect itself from or take advantage of exchange rate fluctuations. 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.


84



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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

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

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of December 31, 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 sovereign issues—sell protection" and "Credit default swaps on corporate and sovereign issues—sell protection" in the Notes to Portfolio of investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into, if any, by a Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

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


85



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

tled 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 in 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. 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.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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

Investments in bonds with ratings of BB (Standard & Poor's Ratings Group) or Ba (Moody's Investors Service, Inc.) or below (commonly referred to as "high yield" bonds), or deemed of equivalent quality, have an increased risk of defaulting or otherwise being unable to honor a financial obligation. These securities are considered to be predominately speculative with respect to an issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligations. Lower-quality bonds are more likely to be subject to an issuer's default or downgrade than investment grade (higher-quality) bonds.

M. Redemption fees: Each class of each series of The UBS Funds will impose a 1% redemption fee on shares sold or exchanged within 90 days of their purchase date, subject to limited exceptions. This amount is paid to the applicable Fund, not the Advisor or UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc., ("UBS Global AM (US)"). The redemption fees retained by the Funds are disclosed in the Statement of changes in net assets. For the period ended December 31, 2014, redemption fees for each Fund amounted to less than $0.01 per share and less than 0.01% of average net assets.

Effective February 17, 2015, for purchases of shares on or after that date, the redemption fee will be calculated as a percentage of the amount redeemed within 30 days of purchase, if applicable.

2. Investment advisory fees and other transactions with affiliates

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

The Funds may invest in certain affiliated investment companies also advised or managed by the Advisor. Investments in affiliated investment companies for the period ended December 31, 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. Distributions received from Cash Prime are reflected as affiliated income in the Statement of operations. Amounts relating to those investments at December 31, 2014 and for the period then ended have been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

Under normal conditions, the Funds invest cash collateral from securities lending activities into an affiliated private money market fund, UBS Private Money Market Fund LLC ("Private Money Market"), which operates in compliance with most of the substantive provisions of Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Private Money Market is managed by the Advisor and is offered as a cash management option only to mutual funds and certain other accounts managed by the Advisor. UBS Global AM acts as managing member and receives a management fee from Private Money Market payable monthly in arrears at the annual rate of 0.10% of Private Money Market's average daily members' equity, minus the aggregate operating expenses of, and incurred by, Private Money Market during each such related month, not including investment expenses (including brokerage commissions, taxes, interest charges and other costs with respect to transactions in securities) and extraordinary expenses including litigation expenses, if any. The Advisor may, in its sole discretion, waive all or any portion of the management fee to which it may be entitled from time to time in order to maintain operating expenses at a certain level. Distributions received from Private Money Market, net of fee rebates paid to borrowers, are reflected as securities lending income in the Statement of operations. Amounts relating to those investments at December 31, 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

5. Securities lending

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

Each Fund will regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or US government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees.

UBS Core Plus Bond Fund loaned securities to certain qualified broker-dealers, with the Funds' custodian acting as the Funds' lending agent. In addition, UBS Core Plus Bond Fund received US government agency securities as collateral with a market value of $744,459, which can not be resold.

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 year ended June 30, 2014 were as follows:

The tax character of distributions paid and components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis for the current fiscal year will be determined after the Trust's fiscal year ending June 30, 2015.

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

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 December 31, 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 December 31, 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, UBS Fixed Income Opportunities Fund and UBS Municipal Bond 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 period ended December 31, 2014.

10. Subsequent events

At a meeting held on December 4, 2014, the Board approved certain actions to liquidate and dissolve UBS Emerging Markets Debt Fund. The liquidation occurred on February 24, 2015.

In connection with the liquidation, the Board approved, effective December 24, 2014, the closure of each class of the Fund to new investments, including new investors, additional purchases from existing investors and purchases for exchange from other funds. The Board also approved effective December 24, 2014, the closure of each class of the Fund to reinvestments of dividends and distributions. Therefore, the Fund will no longer offer shares for purchase. The Fund reserves the right to change this policy at any time. Of course, shareholders will continue to be able to redeem their shares in accordance with the policies in the Prospectus.

Board approval of investment advisory agreement
(unaudited)

At a meeting (the "Meeting") of the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of The UBS Funds (the "Trust"), 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, considered the initial approval of the investment advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Trust and the Advisor for the UBS Municipal Bond Fund (the "Fund").

At the Meeting, the Board considered a number of factors in connection with its deliberations concerning the approval of the Advisory Agreement for the Fund, including: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be 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 will be 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 to be provided by the Advisor to the Fund, the Board reviewed the material presented by the Advisor describing the various services to be provided to the Fund. The Board noted that in addition to investment management services, the Advisor would provide the 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 that will be providing investment management and other services to the Fund. 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 other series of the Trust and the Advisor's other investment management clients. The Board also noted and discussed the services that the Advisor and its affiliates would provide to the Fund under other agreements with the Trust including administration services to be provided by the Advisor, underwriting services to be provided by UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc., and sub-transfer agency services to be provided by UBS Financial Services Inc. 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, to the existing series of the Trust. The Board also discussed the compliance program for the Advisor. After analyzing the services to be provided by the Advisor to the Fund, both quantitatively and qualitatively, including the likely impact of these services on investment performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services expected to be provided to the Fund were consistent with the operational requirements of the Fund, and would meet the needs of the Fund's shareholders.

Performance.

The Board also noted that, as the Fund had not yet commenced investment operations, there was no investment performance for either the Fund or the Advisor in managing the Fund for the Board to evaluate.

Fund Fees and Expenses.

When considering the fees and expenses to be borne by the Fund, and the reasonableness of the management fees to be paid to the Advisor in light of the services to be provided to the Fund, the Board compared the fees to be charged by the Advisor to the Fund to the fees charged to the funds in its peer group for comparable services. In examining these reports, and in reviewing comparative costs, it was noted that the results of such expense comparisons showed that the anticipated actual management fee rate and total expenses for the fund were comparable to similar funds. The Board also considered that the Advisor had agreed to an expense limit arrangement for a one-year period. The Board, after reviewing all pertinent material, concluded that the management fee payable


97



The UBS Funds

Board approval of investment advisory agreement
(unaudited)

under the 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 noted that the Advisor could not report any financial results from its relationship with the Fund because the Fund had not yet commenced investment operations, and thus, the Board could not evaluate the profitability of the Fund. The Board considered the expected "fall-out" or ancillary benefits to the Advisor and its affiliates as the result of their relationship with the Fund; for example, the ability to attract other clients due to the Advisor's role as investment adviser to the Fund. The Board then concluded that the level of profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates with respect to the Fund, if any, were expected to be reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services that were to be provided.

Economies of Scale.

The Board also discussed whether economies of scale will be realized by the Advisor with respect to the Fund, as it grows larger, and the extent to which this is reflected in the level of advisory fees to be charged. The Board noted that, since the Fund had not yet commenced investment operations, economies of scale were not likely to be realized in the near future.

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

President's letter

February 17, 2015

Dear Shareholder,

Almost six years after the end of the Great Recession, the US economy is firmly leading the global recovery. But sluggish growth in other developed countries and weakening growth in emerging markets paint a decidedly mixed global economic picture, which, along with geopolitical risks around the world, are feeding a general mood of uncertainty. In this environment, the temptation may be strong for investors to concentrate their portfolios within their borders, but the wisdom of holding a diversified portfolio is timeless. And it is during times of uncertainty that it is more important than ever to have a partner that understands and can navigate complex global markets to build portfolios that balance risks and rewards.

There are many concrete signs that the US economy is beginning to meaningfully strengthen and is well-positioned for future growth. The US added 3 million jobs in 2014, the most since 1999, and the price of oil fell 46% during the year, saving Americans an estimated $14 billion at the pump. In all, Americans are feeling better about the state of the economy, with consumer confidence at its highest level since October 2007, before the Great Recession began. Looking forward, economists are predicting US gross domestic product ("GDP") growth to exceed 3% in 2015, which would be its highest growth rate in ten years. Employment in the US should continue to improve this year, while lower oil prices keep inflation muted.

Internationally, confidence in the strength of America's main economic indicators is contributing to the rising value of the US dollar. The accelerating US recovery comes as growth in China appears to be slowing, Japan emerges from its fourth recession since 2008, and the Eurozone as well as many commodity-exporting economies show weakness. The divergence between the US and other world economies is most apparent in the 2014 GDP figures. While the US economy posted 2.4% GDP growth in 2014, the Eurozone and Japan grew by an estimated 0.8% and 0.9%, respectively, over the same period. The European Central Bank recently initiated a quantitative easing (QE) program, similar to the one just ended in the US, in an effort to stimulate the Eurozone economy. Growth is weakening in emerging markets countries, even as they continue to grow faster than their developed counterparts. China's 2014 GDP growth of 7.3% looks impressive at first glance but is the country's slowest growth rate since 1990. More broadly, emerging markets growth decelerated to 4.4% in 2014 from 4.7% in 2013. In a generally weak global environment, investors are looking to the United States as a country with a relatively attractive economy. The US dollar has risen about 15% against other major currencies since mid-2014, as investors around the globe have brought their capital to the United States.

In this environment, investors face a new set of challenges, some of them unexpected. The rising strength of the US dollar has far-reaching effects on the global investment landscape. As with any major economic trend, there are winners and losers. On the positive side, US consumers benefit. The stronger US dollar contributes to lower oil prices by reducing the cost of imports, which also keeps inflation in check. This, in turn, boosts the real disposable income of the average American household. On the other hand, the impact on businesses is decidedly more mixed. The upside is that American companies that source most of their materials from abroad will find them less expensive, which could boost profit margins or allow savings to be passed on to consumers. Foreign firms that export products to the US also benefit, as their products become relatively less expensive for US consumers.

But the strengthening US dollar also can negatively impact both US and foreign-based businesses. In the US, almost half of the revenues of S&P 500 companies come from overseas, and an even higher share of net profits. Because these transactions are recorded in currencies that are weakening against the US dollar, it has the same effect as if these US-based companies were selling their products at a discount. Internationally, some companies in emerging markets economies obtain financing denominated in US dollars to hedge against uncertainty in their


1



President's letter

local currencies. Many of these companies may now need to raise more cash in their own currencies to repay their dollar-denominated debt, negatively impacting their financial positions.

Amid this mixed picture, investors may be challenged to find investments that may profit from current trends and avoid those that could be negatively impacted. In this environment, we believe investors can benefit from the resources of a global partner that has a comprehensive understanding of investment risks and opportunities, as UBS Global Asset Management does. Our research capabilities and global perspective are crucial elements in navigating the far-reaching effects of economic trends and pursuing the best investment outcomes for our clients. This knowledge and discernment informs our ability to actively manage the UBS family of funds with an eye toward benefiting from major trends, while mitigating downside risks.

UBS Global Asset Management remains committed to applying rigorous research and active management to achieve the sustainable performance that our clients need in order to meet their goals. As we continue to evolve our funds to take advantage of changing market conditions, we rely on our firm's client-oriented culture to guide everything we do. It is in this spirit, responding to clients' needs, that we recently introduced the newest member of the UBS fund family: The UBS Municipal Bond Fund. The fund provides a powerful diversifier for individuals interested in potentially tax-free income. By drawing upon proprietary credit research to scrutinize underlying issuers, the UBS Municipal Bond Fund uses active management to gain an information edge in the market.

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

Mixed growth in the developed world

The Commerce Department reported that gross domestic product ("GDP") grew at a 5.0% seasonally adjusted annualized rate during the third quarter of 2014, and its initial estimate for fourth-quarter GDP growth was 2.6%.1 This followed the first quarter's contraction in GDP of 2.1%, a temporary setback for the economy after three consecutive years of generally modest growth, which was followed by second quarter GDP growth of 4.6%.

The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") largely maintained its accommodative monetary policy during the reporting period. The central bank continued to hold the federal funds rate at a historically low range between 0% and 0.25%. The federal funds rate or the "fed funds rate," is the rate banks charge one another for funds they borrow on an overnight basis. During the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Fed wound down its asset purchase program, also known as quantitative easing or QE, a process called tapering, which it began in January 2014. At its meeting in December 2013, the Fed said "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." The Fed further reduced QE over several months, and its meeting in October, it said it had concluded its asset purchase program. Finally, at its meeting that concluded on December 17, 2014, the Fed said "Based on its current assessment, the Committee judges that it can be patient in beginning to normalize the stance of monetary policy."

In its October 2014 World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") said "Despite setbacks, an uneven global recovery continues. In advanced economies, the legacies of the pre-crisis boom and the subsequent crisis, including high private and public debt, still cast a shadow on the recovery. Emerging markets are adjusting to rates of economic growth lower than those reached in the pre-crisis boom and the post-crisis recovery." From a regional perspective, the IMF estimates 2014 growth was 0.8% in the eurozone, versus -0.4% in 2013. Japan's economy is expected to have grown 0.9% in 2014, compared to 1.5% in 2013. Elsewhere, the IMF estimates that overall growth in emerging market countries decelerated in 2014, with expected growth of 4.4% versus 4.7% in 2013.

US equities outperform

The US equity market was highly resilient and generated solid results during the reporting period. While there were several setbacks, these were overshadowed by periods of strong investor risk appetite, corporate profits that were solid overall and accommodative central banks. All told, the US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,2 gained 6.12% for the six months ended December 31, 2014. In contrast, international equities produced poor results, as they were dragged down by moderating growth overseas, fears of deflation and several geopolitical issues. International developed equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net),3 fell 9.24% during the period. Emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net),4 declined 7.84% over the same period.

Positive returns for higher-quality fixed income securities

When 2014 began, there were expectations that the US economy would continue to expand and that Treasury yields would move higher. As discussed, while the US economy was initially weak, it quickly recovered and grew at a solid pace. However, concerns about global growth, sharply falling oil prices and geopolitical concerns triggered several flights to quality. Against this backdrop, the yield on the 10-year Treasury fell from 2.53% to 2.17% during the reporting period, and the overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Index,5 gained 1.96%. Riskier fixed income securities produced weak results during the six months ended December 31, 2014. High yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index6 declined 2.93% during the reporting period. Emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),7 fell 3.27%.

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 Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2014, Class A shares of UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund (the "Fund") gained 5.32% (Class A shares declined 0.44% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares gained 5.46%. The Fund's benchmark, the Citigroup Three-Month US Treasury Bill Index (the "Index"), returned 0.01% over the same time period. (Class P 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 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 six months ended December 31, 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. All three sleeves contributed to the Fund's performance during the reporting period.

During the six-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 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 Chimerix, a biopharmaceutical company that develops antiviral therapeutics, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, an early-stage therapeutics company, and Bluebird Bio, a biotech company whose share price soared in December 2014 on positive gene therapy findings. Information technology company Apple was a top contributor as well.

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

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

  – The sleeve's short positions in Fugro, a company that collects, processes and interprets geological results, Saipem, an off- and on-shore drilling services provider, and Outotec, a company that provides solutions for the sustainable use of earth's natural resources, were additive to results.

UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund

  – The best performing sectors within the sleeve were energy, industrials, health care and information technology.

  – From a country perspective, the sleeve's allocations to the US, Finland, Canada, Sweden 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 short positions in several energy firms, such as Pacific Rubiales Energy, a firm exploring, developing and producing oil, Petromanas Energy, a firm exploring oil and gas in Albania, and Athabasca Oil Corporation, a developer of oil sands in Canada, added the most value.

  – The best performing sectors within the sleeve were energy, industrials and health care.

  – From a country perspective, the sleeve's allocations to the US, Norway and Italy 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 long positions in several energy stocks—such as energy services company McDermott, diversified oil and gas service provider Noble Corp., and oil exploration and developer PDC Energy—detracted from performance. A short position in biopharmaceutical company Celgene was negative for results as well.

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

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

  – The sleeve's long positions in Acciona, a developer of renewable energy, civil infrastructure, water treatment and desalination, BG Group, an integrated natural gas company and oil company Royal Dutch Shell, were the largest individual detractors from results. Acciona and BG Group were both sold prior to the end of the reporting period due to unfavorable risk profiles.

  – Allocations to the financials and telecommunication services sectors were negative for performance.

  – In terms of countries, the sleeve's allocations to France and Japan were the largest detractors.

UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund

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

  – The sleeve's long positions in several energy-related companies—such as Lightstream Resources, a light oil exploration and production firm, Paramount Resources, a firm that explores and develops oil and natural gas, and independent natural gas producer Perpetual Energy—detracted from performance over the reporting period.

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

  – In terms of countries, the sleeve's allocations to Turkey and Japan were the largest detractors.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2014 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—6.31% and 4.07%; Class C—6.46% and 4.87%; Class P—5.48% and 3.89%. 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 27, 2015, do not exceed 1.75% for Class A shares, 2.50% for Class C shares and 1.50% for Class P shares. Pursuant to the written agreement, the Advisor is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees it waives and expenses it reimburses for a period of three years following such fee waivers and expense reimbursements to the extent that such reimbursement of the Advisor by the Fund will not cause the Fund to exceed any applicable expense limit that is in place for the Fund. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Fund's advisory contract with the Advisor. Upon termination of the fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement, however, UBS Global AM (Americas)'s three year recoupment rights will survive.

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

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

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

4  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.

5  The Citigroup Three-Month US Treasury Bill Index is an unmanaged index reflecting monthly return equivalents of yield averages that are not marked to the market and an average of the last three 3-month T-bill month-end rates. 3-month T-bills are the short-term debt obligations of the US government. Investors should note that indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

Prior to February 17, 2015, 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. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015, there will be a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Shares that an investor holds or purchases prior to implementation of this new holding period are subject to preexisting terms for the holding period as outlined in the prospectus.

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

UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2014, Class A shares of UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund (the "Fund") declined 1.00% (Class A shares declined 6.44% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned -0.93%. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI World Free Index (net) (the "Index") declined 1.17%. (Class P shares have lower expenses than other share classes in the series. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 25; please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund posted a negative absolute return during the reporting period, primarily due to stock selection and sector allocation.

•  Stock selection drove the Fund's performance during the reporting period.

  – Alnylam Pharmaceuticals is a biopharmaceutical company headquartered in the US. The stock rallied sharply, and it was the Fund's largest contributor to performance during the reporting period. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

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

  – Mallinckrodt PLC, which is based in Ireland, produces specialty pharmaceutical products, including generic drugs and imaging agents. The company's restructuring has led to improved profitability, and its share price rose sharply during the reporting period.

  – Chimerix, Inc. is a US-based biopharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering, developing and commercializing oral antivirals in areas of high unmet medical need. Its shares rallied during the reporting period and benefited the Fund's results. Chimerix's proprietary technology has produced brincidofovir, a clinical-stage product that has demonstrated potent antiviral activity and safety in convenient, orally administered dosing regimens.

  – Sector allocation, overall, contributed to results. During the reporting period, overweights to the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors, along with an underweight to energy, were the most beneficial to the Fund's relative performance. The Fund's overall sector allocations are a byproduct of our bottom-up stock selection process.

UBS Global Sustainable Equity Fund

What didn't work

•  Several individual stocks had a negative impact on performance.

  – Premier Oil is an independent British oil company with gas and oil interests in the UK, Asia and Africa. Its shares fell sharply, which negatively impacted the Fund. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

  – Statoil is a multinational oil and gas company headquartered in Norway. Statoil is a fully integrated petroleum company with operations in 36 countries. Its shares came under pressure as oil prices moved lower, and the company canceled a number of projects as a result.

  – A.P. Moeller-Maersk Group is a Danish conglomerate and a large container ship and supply vessel operator. Its shares declined, which negatively impacted the Fund. (For additional details, see "Portfolio Highlights.")

  – Lundin Petroleum is an independent international petroleum company based in Sweden. The company was negatively impacted by lower oil prices.

  – Sector allocation decisions modestly detracted from performance. During the reporting period, underweights to consumer staples and financials modestly dragged on the Fund's relative performance.

Portfolio highlights

•  Alnylam Pharmaceuticals is a US biopharmaceutical company. The company's core focus is the development of novel therapeutics based on RNA interference, or RNAi, for genetically defined diseases. The company has a large pipeline of promising prospects, many of which have had generally positive results in clinical tests.

•  NXP Semiconductors is a semiconductor chip manufacturer. Its Near Field Communication (NFC) chip enables smartphones and other devices to establish radio communication with each other. During the reporting period, Apple introduced its highly successful iPhone 6 with Apple Pay, which uses NXP Semiconductors' NFC technology.

•  Premier Oil was the Fund's worst-performing position during the reporting period. Oil prices fell more than 40% over the six months ended December 31, 2014, causing oil exporters to suffer significant losses. Although share prices have fallen substantially, we have not made changes to the majority of the Fund's energy holdings as, based on previous experience, our view is that once the price of oil begins to recover these companies can gain back losses very quickly.

•  A.P. Moeller-Maersk Group is a Danish business conglomerate with activities in a variety of business sectors, primarily within transportation and energy. Its shares were volatile during the reporting period given concerns about global growth on one hand, and positive sentiment about falling input costs, stemming from the lower price of oil, on the other hand. All told, its shares weakened over the reporting period.

This letter is intended to assist shareholders in understanding how the Fund performed during the six months ended December 31, 2014.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2014 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—2.74% and 1.25%; Class C—3.54% and 2.00%; Class P—2.45% 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 P 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  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.

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.

Prior to February 17, 2015, 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. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015, there will be a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Shares that an investor holds or purchases prior to implementation of this new holding period are subject to preexisting terms for the holding period as outlined in the prospectus.

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

UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2014, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned 4.13% (Class A shares returned -1.62% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 4.27%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), returned 5.57% over the same time period. (Class P 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

•  Strong stock selection within health care, as well as an overweight to the sector, contributed to Fund performance during the reporting period.

  – Chimerix was a top contributor to Fund returns, as the stock was up 76% during the six-month period. The development-stage biotech company boasts a promising drug pipeline that includes an antiviral treatment recently used with Ebola patients.

  – Shares of Alnylam Pharmaceuticals performed strongly, returning 54% for the six months. The biotech company specializes in RNAi therapeutics. Alnylam revised earnings estimates upward during the period, and reported favorable news on both the clinical trial and intellectual property fronts.

  – UnitedHealth Group rose 25% during the reporting period. The health care insurance provider reported better-than-expected third quarter earnings, as revenues increased.

•  Several individual stocks made strong positive contributions to relative returns.

  – Pacific DataVision was up 70% during the six-month period. The position began as a private placement that was intended to fund the potential acquisition of Sprint's wireless spectrum, which would be used to build a nationwide push-to-talk wireless network and consolidate 4G networks.

•  The Fund maintained a successful underweight to the telecommunications sector. This position contributed to relative performance, as the sector was down 2% within the benchmark during the six-month period.

UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund

What didn't work

•  Energy stocks detracted from relative performance during the six-month period. The steep decline in oil prices has created both opportunity and heightened risk within the markets. We maintain our focus on company fundamentals and remain confident in the theses of our positions in the sector.

  – McDermott International was the top detractor for the reporting period with a decline of 64%. McDermott reported significant operating losses and indicated that the trend would continue in the near term based on the current environment for companies in the oil and gas industry.

  – Noble Corporation also detracted from performance, declining 42% for the six-month period. Calendar year 2014 presented a difficult environment for offshore drillers, with challenging trends in the number of uncontracted new-build deliveries, rigs rolling off contracts and operator sublets. As a result, these companies have seen intense competition, falling day rates and rig retirements, all of which exerted downward pressure on Noble's stock price.

  – The Fund's position in EOG Resources made a negative contribution to relative returns. The company struggled as a result of oil price volatility during the six-month period. We consider EOG to be best-of-breed within the exploration and production (E&P) space.

•  Within the consumer discretionary sector, individual stock positions made a negative contribution to Fund returns.

  – The stock price of YUM! Brands came under pressure during the period due to issues with suppliers in China. However, we believe the market is undervaluing the long-term value of the KFC and Pizza Hut franchises in China. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

•  Sector underweights in utilities and information technology made a negative contribution to Fund returns. The Fund did not hold any utilities names during the period. Stock selection within the IT sector was strong, but was hindered by the reduced weight relative to the benchmark.

Portfolio highlights

•  We initiated a position in NXP Semiconductors based on the thesis that the company would successfully expand operating margins and deleverage, which it did by shedding money-losing business lines. We now believe NXP has above-average growth potential that is not fully appreciated by analysts. Fueling our confidence is the fact that the company's near field communication (NFC) radio and secure element are utilized in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+, and will likely be used in the Apple Watch to power Apple Pay.


31



UBS U.S. Defensive Equity Fund

• We believe Citigroup's shares are undervalued relative to the current price. The market remains skeptical about the company's ability to increase regulatory capital and capital return. Investors have further discounted Citigroup's shares due to concerns over emerging market growth and credit quality. We believe the company's interest rate leverage and share count reduction capacity are underappreciated by the market, and should result in higher-than-expected earnings in the coming years.

•  Eli Lilly faces near-term headwinds from the loss of exclusivity on its Cymbalta and ALIMTA drugs. However, we believe the company's prospects for the next two years exceed consensus estimates. Lilly's heavy spending on research and development for a dozen Phase 3 programs is winding down, and the company is shifting away from primary care markets toward oncology and diabetes. While the company's margins are currently at the low end of industry norms, we expect to see improvement driven by pipeline success or accelerated cost reductions. Our research indicates that Lilly's broad diabetes portfolio, which will cover all key therapeutic areas, offers prospects for additional growth.

•  We see a multi-year growth story in China for YUM! Brands fueled by the growth of its high margin global franchise business. Though the market underestimates China, we believe YUM! will continue to experience rapid unit growth in the country's tier-four through six cities, where YUM!'s development team made significant investments in infrastructure. In addition, we expect the company to return capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, further boosting its stock price.

•  Mondelez International 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.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2014 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—3.80% and 2.15%; Class C—4.61% and 2.90%; Class P—3.53% and 1.90%. Net expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses. The Trust, with respect to the Fund, and UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc., the Fund's investment advisor ("UBS Global AM (Americas)" or the "Advisor"), have entered into a written agreement pursuant to which the Advisor has agreed to waive a portion of its management fees and/or to reimburse expenses (excluding expenses incurred through investment in other investment companies, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, 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 27, 2015, otherwise do not exceed 1.50% for Class A shares, 2.25% for Class C shares and 1.25% for Class P 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  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.

5  The Russell 1000 Index is designed to measure 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.

Prior to February 17, 2015, 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. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015, there will be a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Shares that an investor holds or purchases prior to implementation of this new holding period are subject to preexisting terms for the holding period as outlined in the prospectus.

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

UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2014, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund (the "Fund") returned 5.53% (Class A shares returned -0.26% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 5.66%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), returned 5.57% over the same time period. (Class P shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 44; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund kept pace with the Index primarily due to stock selection decisions.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Strong stock selection within health care, as well as an overweight to the sector, contributed to Fund performance during the reporting period.

  – Shares of Alnylam Pharmaceuticals performed strongly, returning 54% for the six months. The biotech company specializes in RNAi therapeutics. Alnylam revised earnings estimates upward during the period, and reported favorable news on both the clinical trial and intellectual property fronts.

  – Bluebird Bio's stock price soared during the fourth quarter of 2014 after the company announced that its experimental gene therapy had ended the need for regular blood transfusions in four patients with beta thalassemia major, an inherited blood disorder. For the six-month period, the stock returned 138%.

  – Chimerix was a top contributor to Fund returns, as the stock was up 76% during the six-month period. The development-stage biotech company boasts a promising drug pipeline that includes an antiviral treatment recently used with Ebola patients.

•  Several individual stocks made a strong positive contribution to relative returns.

  – Rite Aid, which operates retail drugstores, reported third-quarter 2014 financial results that exceeded Wall Street's expectations and raised the company's full-year fiscal guidance. Shares traded 24% higher for the six-month period.

  – Pacific DataVision was up 70% during the six months. The position began as a private placement that was intended to fund the potential acquisition of Sprint's wireless spectrum, which would be used to build a nationwide push-to-talk wireless network and consolidate 4G networks.

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

UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

•  The Fund maintained a successful underweight to the hard-hit energy sector. This position contributed to relative performance, as the sector was down 20% within the benchmark during the six-month period. An overweight to information technology stocks was also additive for performance.

What didn't work

•  Energy stocks detracted from relative performance during the six-month period. The steep decline in oil prices has created both opportunity and heightened risk within the markets. We maintain our focus on company fundamentals and remain confident in the theses of our positions in the sector.

  – The Fund's position in EOG Resources made a negative contribution to relative returns. The company struggled as a result of oil price volatility during the six-month period. We consider EOG to be best-of-breed within the exploration and production (E&P) space. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – Noble Corporation detracted from performance, declining 42% for the six-month period. Calendar year 2014 presented a difficult environment for offshore drillers, with challenging trends in the number of uncontracted new-build deliveries, rigs rolling off contracts and operator sublets. As a result, these companies have seen intense competition, falling day rates and rig retirements, all of which exerted downward pressure on Noble's stock price.

  – Baker Hughes, a provider of oil and gas services, also declined on news of oil price volatility during the period. We continue to believe increased onshore activity and technology content in North America will drive faster-than-industry growth and margin improvements for both Baker Hughes and Halliburton, as the two companies combine through a merger deal announced during the fourth quarter.

•  Within the consumer discretionary sector, individual stock positions made a negative contribution to Fund returns.

  – Shares of Ford underperformed during the six months. We believe the automaker has fundamentally improved its cost structure and competitive position. Ford's North American truck business is a well-established franchise that can earn more than the company's cost of capital returns. We believe Ford will have a strong product cycle over the next few years, which should support the company's relatively competitive position.

•  Certain sector underweights made a negative contribution to Fund returns. The health care sector was up 13% within the benchmark, and though our stock selection made a positive contribution, the Fund's underweight to the sector detracted. The Fund's underweight to consumer discretionary also detracted, as the sector rose 9% for the period. Stock selection decisions within the sector further hindered performance for the six months.

UBS U.S. Equity Opportunity Fund

Portfolio highlights

•  Citigroup continues to execute its plan to rationalize its balance sheet, wind down Citi Holdings, engineer expense reductions, and improve liquidity and capital metrics. Citigroup 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.

•  Digital Realty Trust is a technology REIT that has been aggressively improving its portfolio of global data centers through new developments and acquisitions, particularly in higher-margin overseas markets. We believe the REIT will benefit from improved occupancy levels at higher rents as current contracts expire and are replaced with more profitable leases. Customers will likely be motivated to stay with Digital Realty, even at higher rates, because they will incur material costs if they choose to move their facilities. We believe the REIT has the ability to generate above-average earnings growth in most economic scenarios.

•  Applied Materials is the leading producer of front-end semiconductor manufacturing equipment. As this industry becomes more complex, Applied Materials has the ability to sell more equipment while maintaining manufacturing throughput. Our research indicates further upside potential from the firm's planned acquisition of Tokyo Electron, the industry's third-largest supplier of semiconductor process equipment.

•  EOG Resources is a natural gas and crude oil exploration and 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, and is a first mover in onshore tight gas and tight oil basins. EOG has a track record of superior innovation and, as a result, is well-positioned with low exploration and development costs.

•  We expect Amazon.com to benefit from its large served market, which should provide much higher-than-average sustained revenue growth. Major opportunities for Amazon include continued growth in all retail categories, online media and appliance growth, groceries, Amazon Web Services, and third party sales and logistics. The company's investment in new fulfillment centers should enable faster delivery and manageable fulfillment costs. While we believe Amazon will reinvest much of its profits in new opportunities and growth, we expect margins to gradually rise due to achievement of scale in subscale businesses.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2014 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.72% and 1.20%; Class C—2.50% and 1.95%; Class P—1.52% 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 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 27, 2015, do not exceed 1.20% for Class A shares, 1.95% for Class C shares and 0.95% for Class P 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  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.

4  The Russell 1000 Index is designed to measure 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.

Prior to February 17, 2015, 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. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015, there will be a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Shares that an investor holds or purchases prior to implementation of this new holding period are subject to preexisting terms for the holding period as outlined in the prospectus.

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

UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2014, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund (the "Fund") returned 4.55% (Class A shares returned -1.21% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 4.68%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index (the "Index"), returned 5.57% over the same time period. (Class P 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 the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund underperformed the Index primarily due to stock selection.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Strong stock selection within health care, as well as an overweight to the sector, contributed to Fund performance during the reporting period.

  – Chimerix was a top contributor to Fund returns, as the stock was up 76% during the six-month period. The development-stage biotech company boasts a promising drug pipeline that includes an antiviral treatment recently used with Ebola patients.

  – Shares of Alnylam Pharmaceuticals performed strongly, returning 54% for the six months. The biotech company specializes in RNAi therapeutics. Alnylam revised earnings estimates upward during the period and reported favorable news on both the clinical trial and intellectual property fronts.

  – Gilead Sciences was another top-performing health care name. Gilead's acquisition of Pharmasset created more than $100 billion in market capitalization value for Gilead, while confirming our view of the strong potential for Pharmasset's hepatitis C drug. We sold our position in Gilead during the fourth quarter of 2014, as investor consensus about the company's prospects came into alignment with our views, leaving the stock fairly valued.

•  Several other stock selection decisions were positive contributors to relative performance during the six months.

  – In the financial sector, Digital Realty Trust was additive to the Fund's performance. The real estate investment trust (REIT), which focuses on technology-related real estate, reported strong revenue growth and cash flow from operations. The share price was up 16% during the reporting period. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

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


49



UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

•  The Fund maintained a successful underweight to the hard-hit energy sector. This position contributed to relative performance, as the sector was down 20% within the benchmark during the six-month period.

What didn't work

•  Energy stocks detracted from relative performance during the six-month period. The steep decline in oil prices has created both opportunity and heightened risk within the markets. We maintain our focus on company fundamentals and remain confident in the theses of our positions in the sector.

  – McDermott International was the top detractor for the reporting period with a decline of 64%. McDermott reported significant operating losses and indicated that the trend would continue in the near term based on the current environment for companies in the oil and gas industry.

  – Noble Corporation also detracted from performance, declining 42% for the six-month period. Calendar year 2014 presented a difficult environment for offshore drillers, with challenging trends in the number of uncontracted new-build deliveries, rigs rolling off contracts and operator sublets. As a result, these companies have seen intense competition, falling day rates and rig retirements, all of which exerted downward pressure on Noble's stock price.

  – The Fund's positions in EOG Resources and PDC Energy made a negative contribution to relative returns. Both companies struggled as a result of oil price volatility during the six-month period. We consider these names to be best-of-breed within the exploration and production (E&P) space. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

• Within the consumer discretionary sector, individual stock positions made a negative contribution to Fund returns.

  – The stock price of YUM! Brands came under pressure during the period due to issues with suppliers in China. However, we believe the market is undervaluing the long-term value of the KFC and Pizza Hut franchises in China. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

Sector underweights in utilities and information technology made a negative contribution to Fund returns. The Fund did not hold any utilities names during the period. Stock selection within the IT sector was strong, but was hindered by an underweight relative to the benchmark.


50



UBS U.S. Large Cap Equity Fund

Portfolio highlights

•  Digital Realty Trust is a technology REIT that has been aggressively improving its portfolio of global data centers through new developments and acquisitions, particularly in higher-margin overseas markets. We believe the REIT will benefit from improved occupancy levels at higher rents as current contracts expire and are replaced with more profitable leases. Customers will likely be motivated to stay with Digital Realty, even at higher rates, because they will incur material costs if they choose to move their facilities. We believe the REIT has the ability to generate above-average earnings growth in most economic scenarios.

•  We believe Citigroup's shares are undervalued relative to the current price. The market remains skeptical about the company's ability to increase regulatory capital and capital return. Investors have further discounted Citigroup's shares due to concerns over emerging market growth and credit quality. We believe the company's interest rate leverage and share count reduction capacity are underappreciated by the market and should result in higher-than-expected earnings in the coming years.

•  Eli Lilly faces near-term headwinds from the loss of exclusivity on its Cymbalta and ALIMTA drugs. However, we believe the company's prospects for the next two years exceed consensus estimates. Lilly's heavy spending on research and development for a dozen Phase 3 programs is winding down, and the company is shifting away from primary care markets toward oncology and diabetes. While the company's margins are currently at the low end of industry norms, we expect to see improvement driven by pipeline success or accelerated cost reductions. Our research indicates that Lilly's broad diabetes portfolio, which will cover all key therapeutic areas, offers prospects for additional growth.

•  EOG Resources is a natural gas and crude oil exploration and 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, and it is a first mover in onshore tight gas and tight oil basins. EOG has a track record of superior innovation and, as a result, is well-positioned with low exploration and development costs.

•  We see a multi-year growth story in China for YUM! Brands fueled by the growth of its high margin global franchise business. Though the market underestimates China, we believe YUM will continue to experience rapid unit growth in the country's tier-four through six cities, where YUM's development team made significant investments in infrastructure. In addition, we expect the company to return capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, further boosting its stock price.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2014 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.29% and 1.20%; Class C—2.08% and 1.95%; Class P—0.99% 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 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 27, 2015, do not exceed 1.20% for Class A shares, 1.95% for Class C shares and 0.95% for Class P 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  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.

4  The Russell 1000 Index is designed to measure 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.

Prior to February 17, 2015, 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. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015, there will be a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Shares that an investor holds or purchases prior to implementation of this new holding period are subject to preexisting terms for the holding period as outlined in the prospectus.

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

UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2014, Class A shares of UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund") returned 4.39% (Class A shares returned -1.35% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares returned 4.57%. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the "Index"), returned 3.31% over the same time period. (Class P shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 60; please note that the Fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

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

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked

•  Stock selection within the health care sector made the largest positive contribution to Fund returns during the six months.

  – Receptos Inc., a developer of small molecule drug therapies, was the Fund's top-performing position during the reporting period. The company's share price rose sharply after Receptos reported positive efficacy and safety data for its lead pipeline drug, RPC1063, in a phase II trial for ulcerative colitis.

  – Exact Sciences, a molecular diagnostics company, was another top contributor. The company finalized its National Coverage Decision and issued preliminary reimbursement for Cologuard, its non-invasive stool-based DNA screening assay. The reimbursement amount was well above consensus expectations, and shares traded higher as a result.

  – The Fund's position in Bluebird Bio made a positive contribution to relative returns. Bluebird Bio is a biotechnology company that focuses on gene therapy. Testing of its LentiGlobin product showed positive results in freeing some patients from required monthly blood transfusions.

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

  – Shares of Imperva rose after the company reported third quarter 2014 results that exceeded consensus estimates and showed improving execution. The developer of protection software and services for databases and business applications showed accelerating product revenue growth and increased subscription business. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

  – Proofpoint contributed to the Fund's relative performance during the six months. The company, a global provider of an integrated suite of on-demand protection solutions, outperformed after reporting third quarter revenues in excess of Wall Street estimates. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

  – The Fund benefited from its position in Infoblox. The company reported better-than-expected earnings during the six-month period. In addition, Infoblox named a new CEO, resolving uncertainty around the company's leadership that had been hindering the stock price.

•  Stock positions in other industries made a positive contribution to Fund returns.

  – Spirit Airlines, a low-fare airline with routes to South Florida, the Caribbean and Latin America, continued to outperform during the six months. Investor enthusiasm over declining oil prices, which should result in better earnings, drove the stock higher. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

What didn't work

•  Stock selection in the energy sector, as well as an overweight position to the sector, detracted from relative performance. Falling commodity prices weighed heavily on investor sentiment, causing many energy names to underperform, including:

  – Bonanza Creek: an independent oil and natural gas company focused on the Niobrara Oil Shale

  – Callon Petroleum: an independent oil and natural gas company operating in the Permian Basin

  – Kodiak Oil & Gas: an energy company focused on the exploration, acquisition and production of natural gas and crude. We sold the position to focus on producers with lower overhead costs that can better navigate the current environment of lower oil prices.

•  Industrial stocks held in the Fund were also negatively affected by lower oil prices during the six months.

  – The Fund's position in Chart Industries detracted from relative returns during the period. Chart manufactures industrial gases and capital equipment for the oil and gas industries. The company posted sales and earnings results that were below expectations and lowered future guidance due to weak sales in China. We believe the longer-term prospects for Chart are strong due to the increasing rate of shale gas exports, and we continue to hold the stock.

UBS U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund

•  Certain other holdings made a negative contribution to relative performance.

  – Shares of InvenSense, a provider of micro-electro-mechanical systems for motion processing, fell after the company reported disappointing results during the period. InvenSense had lower-than-expected gross margins due to a non-recurring inventory write-off charge. This was largely related to earlier generations of the company's products, as well as a shift in revenue toward lower-margin, high-volume sales. (For details, see "Portfolio highlights.")

Portfolio highlights

•  Imperva delivers data security, monitoring and web application security as on-site solutions and through the cloud. New management has refined the company's go-to-market strategy and reinvigorated the sales force. Recent acquisitions have bolstered Imperva's product suite, elevating the company's offering to represent a robust cyber security platform.

•  Proofpoint is a global provider of enterprise software solutions. The company offers an integrated suite of on-demand solutions that include secure communications, archiving, compliance and cyber security. Proofpoint's software-as-a-service (SaaS) model delivers 95% recurring revenues at greater than 90% renewal rates. The company's main competitor, Postini, was acquired by Google and is in the process of shutting down.

•  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.

•  InvenSense designs and markets micro-electro-mechanical system gyroscopes for motion tracking devices in consumer electronics such as smartphones and tablets. The company is the leader in intelligent motion processing, and sells into multiple high-growth end markets. We continue to believe the company's technological lead and large addressable market imply stronger earnings growth than the market anticipates.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2014 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.46% and 1.41%; Class C—2.25% and 2.16%; Class P—1.10% and 1.10%. 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 27, 2015, do not exceed 1.40% for Class A shares, 2.15% for Class C shares and 1.15% for Class P 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  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.

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-book 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.

Prior to February 17, 2015, 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. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015, there will be a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Shares that an investor holds or purchases prior to implementation of this new holding period are subject to preexisting terms for the holding period as outlined in the prospectus.

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

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

Explanation of expense disclosure

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

The example below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, July 1, 2014 to December 31, 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 July 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014.

1  For Class A, the maximum sales charge is 5.50%. Classes C and P have no front-end sales charges. 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. Class C maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00% for each Fund. Class P 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. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015, there will be a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Shares that an investor holds or purchases prior to implementation of this new holding period are subject to preexisting terms for the holding period as outlined 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 period reported, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any, at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates, and a sale at net asset value on the last day of each period reported. The figures do not include any applicable sales charges; results would be lower if they were included. Total investment return for periods of less than one year has not been annualized. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends/distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

1  Calculated using the average shares method.

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

3  Annualized.

4  The investment manager recouped expenses previously reimbursed by the investment manager on behalf of the Fund, not to exceed the expense cap.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

1. Organization and significant accounting policies

The UBS Funds (the "Trust") is registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), as amended, as an open-end management investment company currently offering multiple series representing separate investment portfolios. The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust organized on August 13, 1993. The trustees of the Trust have the authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at a par value of $0.001 per share.

The Trust has 14 Funds available for investment, each having its own investment objectives and policies. The following six funds are covered in this report: UBS Equity Long-Short Multi-Strategy Fund, 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 (each a "Fund", and collectively, the "Funds").

Each of the Funds is classified as a "diversified" investment company for purposes of the 1940 Act. The Funds currently offer Class A, Class C and Class P shares. Effective July 28, 2014, Class Y shares were redesignated as Class P 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 P shares have no distribution or service plan.

In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification for certain liabilities. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series' operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative US GAAP for SEC registrants. The Funds' financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

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

Each Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio securities. The Funds normally obtain market values for their investments from independent pricing sources and broker-dealers. Independent pricing sources may use reported last sale prices, official market closing prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized "evaluation" systems that derive values based on comparable investments. An evaluation system incorporates parameters such as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/or research and evaluations by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations, if available, in determining the valuation of the portfolio investments. Investments also may be valued based on appraisals derived


94



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

from information concerning the investment or similar investments received from recognized dealers in those holdings. Investments traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market and listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. ("NASDAQ") normally are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price on the valuation date available prior to valuation. Investments which are listed on US and foreign stock exchanges normally are valued at the market closing price, the last sale price on the day the securities are valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price. In cases where investments are traded on more than one exchange, the investments are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. ("UBS Global AM" or the "Advisor"), the investment advisor of the Funds. UBS Global AM is an indirect wholly owned asset management subsidiary of UBS AG, an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich, 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 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.


95



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

The GVC provides reports to the Board at each quarterly meeting regarding any investments that have been fair valued, valued pursuant to standing instructions approved by the GVC, or where non-vendor pricing sources had been used to make fair value determinations when sufficient information exists during the prior quarter. Fair valuation determinations are subject to review at least monthly by the GVC during scheduled meetings. Pricing decisions, processes, and controls over fair value determinations are subject to internal and external reviews, including annual internal compliance reviews and periodic internal audit reviews.

The types of investments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are not limited to: foreign investments under some circumstances, 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- 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 December 31, 2014 is reflected in the Statement of assets and

liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of December 31, 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 period ended December 31, 2014.

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.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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. 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


99



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

liquid market for the swap contract, which may limit the ability of the Fund to close out its position(s); and, documentation risk relating to disagreement over contract terms. The Fund's activities in the portfolio swap are currently concentrated with a single highly rated counterparty. Investing in swaps results in a form of leverage (i.e., the Fund's risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value as recorded on the Statement of assets and liabilities).

The value of the swap is derived from a combination of (i) the net value of the underlying positions, which are valued daily using the last sale or closing prices on the principal exchange on which the securities are traded; (ii) financing costs; (iii) the value of dividends; (iv) cash balances within the swap; and (v) other factors, as applicable. The value of the swap is 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.


100



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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

H. Option writing: Certain Funds may write (sell) put and call options on foreign or US securities, indices, foreign currencies and interest rate swaps (commonly referred to as swaptions), in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the markets or in an attempt to enhance income or gains. When a Fund writes a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund's Statement of assets and liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. If an option which the Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security or derivative instrument, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss (long-term or short-term, depending on the holding period of the underlying security) from the sale of the underlying security or derivative instrument and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option which a Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security or derivative instrument which the Fund purchases upon exercise of the option.

In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the derivative instrument, security, index or currency underlying the written option. Exercise of an option written by the Fund could 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 in 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 period ended December 31, 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


101



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

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

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

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

L. Commission recapture program: The Funds participate in a brokerage commission recapture program. The Funds have established commission recapture arrangements with certain participating brokers or dealers. If a Fund's investment manager chooses to execute a transaction through a participating broker subject to best price and execution, the broker will rebate a portion of the commission back to the Fund. Any collateral benefit received 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 in the Statement of operations within the net realized gains (losses) on investments in unaffiliated issuers:

M. Redemption fees: Each class of each series of The UBS Funds will impose a 1% redemption fee on shares sold or exchanged within 90 days of their purchase date, subject to limited exceptions. This amount is paid to the applicable Fund, not the Advisor or UBS Global Asset Management (US) Inc., ("UBS Global AM (US)"). The redemption fees retained by the Funds are disclosed in the Statement of changes in net assets. For the period ended December 31, 2014, redemption fees for each Fund amounted to less than $0.01 per share and less than 0.01% of average net assets.

Effective February 17, 2015, for purchases of shares on or after that date, the redemption fee will be calculated as a percentage of the amount redeemed within 30 days of purchase, if applicable.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

Under normal conditions, the Funds invest cash collateral from securities lending activities into an affiliated private money market fund, UBS Private Money Market Fund LLC ("Private Money Market"), which operates in compliance with most of the substantive provisions of Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Private Money Market is managed by the Advisor and is offered as a cash management option only to mutual funds and certain other accounts managed by the Advisor. UBS Global AM acts as managing member and receives a management fee from Private Money Market payable monthly in arrears at the annual rate of 0.10% of Private Money Market's average daily members' equity, minus the aggregate operating expenses of, and incurred by, Private Money Market during each such related month, not including investment expenses (including brokerage commissions, taxes, interest charges and other costs with respect to transactions in securities) and extraordinary expenses including litigation expenses, if any. The Advisor may, in its sole discretion, waive all or any portion of the management fee to which it may be entitled from time to time in order to maintain operating expenses at a certain level. Distributions received from Private Money Market, net of fee rebates paid to borrowers, are reflected as securities lending income in the Statement of operations. Amounts relating to those investments at December 31, 2014 and for the period then ended have been included near the end of each Fund's Portfolio of investments.

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.

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 year ended June 30, 2014 were as follows:

Notes to financial statements

The tax character of distributions paid and components of accumulated earnings / (deficit) on a tax basis for the current fiscal year will be determined after the Trust's fiscal year ending June 30, 2015.

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 December 31, 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 period ended December 31, 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

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 under the agreement for the period ended December 31, 2014.

President's letter

February 17, 2015

Dear Shareholder,

Almost six years after the end of the Great Recession, the US economy is firmly leading the global recovery. But sluggish growth in other developed countries and weakening growth in emerging markets paint a decidedly mixed global economic picture, which, along with geopolitical risks around the world, are feeding a general mood of uncertainty. In this environment, the temptation may be strong for investors to concentrate their portfolios within their borders, but the wisdom of holding a diversified portfolio is timeless. And it is during times of uncertainty that it is more important than ever to have a partner that understands and can navigate complex global markets to build portfolios that balance risks and rewards.

There are many concrete signs that the US economy is beginning to meaningfully strengthen and is well-positioned for future growth. The US added 3 million jobs in 2014, the most since 1999, and the price of oil fell 46% during the year, saving Americans an estimated $14 billion at the pump. In all, Americans are feeling better about the state of the economy, with consumer confidence at its highest level since October 2007, before the Great Recession began. Looking forward, economists are predicting US gross domestic product ("GDP") growth to exceed 3% in 2015, which would be its highest growth rate in ten years. Employment in the US should continue to improve this year, while lower oil prices keep inflation muted.

Internationally, confidence in the strength of America's main economic indicators is contributing to the rising value of the US dollar. The accelerating US recovery comes as growth in China appears to be slowing, Japan emerges from its fourth recession since 2008, and the Eurozone as well as many commodity-exporting economies show weakness. The divergence between the US and other world economies is most apparent in the 2014 GDP figures. While the US economy posted 2.4% GDP growth in 2014, the Eurozone and Japan grew by an estimated 0.8% and 0.9% respectively over the same period. The European Central Bank recently initiated a quantitative easing (QE) program, similar to the one just ended in the US, in an effort to stimulate the Eurozone economy. Growth is weakening in emerging markets countries, even as they continue to grow faster than their developed counterparts. China's 2014 GDP growth of 7.3% looks impressive at first glance but is the country's slowest growth rate since 1990. More broadly, emerging markets growth decelerated to 4.4% in 2014 from 4.7% in 2013. In a generally weak global environment, investors are looking to the United States as a country with a relatively attractive economy. The US dollar has risen about 15% against other major currencies since mid-2014, as investors around the globe have brought their capital to the United States.

In this environment, investors face a new set of challenges, some of them unexpected. The rising strength of the US dollar has far-reaching effects on the global investment landscape. As with any major economic trend, there are winners and losers. On the positive side, US consumers benefit. The stronger US dollar contributes to lower oil prices by reducing the cost of imports, which also keeps inflation in check. This, in turn, boosts the real disposable income of the average American household. On the other hand, the impact on businesses is decidedly more mixed. The upside is that American companies that source most of their materials from abroad will find them less expensive, which could boost profit margins or allow savings to be passed on to consumers. Foreign firms that export products to the US also benefit, as their products become relatively less expensive for US consumers.

But the strengthening US dollar also can negatively impact both US and foreign-based businesses. In the US, almost half of the revenues of S&P 500 companies come from overseas, and an even higher share of net profits. Because these transactions are recorded in currencies that are weakening against the US dollar, it has the same effect as if these US-based companies were selling their products at a discount. Internationally, some companies in emerging markets economies obtain financing denominated in US dollars to hedge against uncertainty in their

local currencies. Many of these companies may now need to raise more cash in their own currencies to repay their dollar-denominated debt, negatively impacting their financial positions.

Amid this mixed picture, investors may be challenged to find investments that may profit from current trends and avoid those that could be negatively impacted. In this environment, we believe investors can benefit from the resources of a global partner that has a comprehensive understanding of investment risks and opportunities, as UBS Global Asset Management does. Our research capabilities and global perspective are crucial elements in navigating the far-reaching effects of economic trends and pursuing the best investment outcomes for our clients. This knowledge and discernment informs our ability to actively manage the UBS family of funds with an eye toward benefiting from major trends, while mitigating downside risks.

UBS Global Asset Management remains committed to applying rigorous research and active management to achieve the sustainable performance that our clients need in order to meet their goals. As we continue to evolve our funds to take advantage of changing market conditions, we rely on our firm's client-oriented culture to guide everything we do. It is in this spirit, responding to clients' needs, that we recently introduced the newest member of the UBS fund family: The UBS Municipal Bond Fund. The fund provides a powerful diversifier for individuals interested in potentially tax-free income. By drawing upon proprietary credit research to scrutinize underlying issuers, the UBS Municipal Bond Fund uses active management to gain an information edge in the market.

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

Mixed growth in the developed world

The Commerce Department reported that gross domestic product ("GDP") grew at a 5.0% seasonally adjusted annualized rate during the third quarter of 2014, and its initial estimate for fourth-quarter GDP growth was 2.6%.1 This followed the first quarter's contraction in GDP of 2.1%, a temporary setback for the economy after three consecutive years of generally modest growth, which was followed by second quarter GDP growth of 4.6%.

The Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") largely maintained its accommodative monetary policy during the reporting period. The central bank continued to hold the federal funds rate at a historically low range between 0% and 0.25%. The federal funds rate or the "fed funds rate," is the rate banks charge one another for funds they borrow on an overnight basis. During the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Fed wound down its asset purchase program, also known as quantitative easing or QE, a process called tapering, which it began in January 2014. At its meeting in December 2013, the Fed said "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." The Fed further reduced QE over several months, and its meeting in October, it said it had concluded its asset purchase program. Finally, at its meeting that concluded on December 17, 2014, the Fed said "Based on its current assessment, the Committee judges that it can be patient in beginning to normalize the stance of monetary policy."

In its October 2014 World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") said "Despite setbacks, an uneven global recovery continues. In advanced economies, the legacies of the pre-crisis boom and the subsequent crisis, including high private and public debt, still cast a shadow on the recovery. Emerging markets are adjusting to rates of economic growth lower than those reached in the pre-crisis boom and the post-crisis recovery." From a regional perspective, the IMF estimates 2014 growth was 0.8% in the eurozone, versus -0.4% in 2013. Japan's economy is expected to have grown 0.9% in 2014, compared to 1.5% in 2013. Elsewhere, the IMF estimates that overall growth in emerging market countries decelerated in 2014, with expected growth of 4.4% versus 4.7% in 2013.

US equities outperform

The US equity market was highly resilient and generated solid results during the reporting period. While there were several setbacks, these were overshadowed by periods of strong investor risk appetite, corporate profits that were solid overall and accommodative central banks. All told, the US stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index,2 gained 6.12% for the six months ended December 31, 2014. In contrast, international equities produced poor results, as they were dragged down by moderating growth overseas, fears of deflation and several geopolitical issues. International developed equities, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index (net),3 fell 9.24% during the period. Emerging market equities, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (net),4 declined 7.84% over the same period.

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

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.

The markets in review

Positive returns for higher-quality fixed income securities

When 2014 began, there were expectations that the US economy would continue to expand and that Treasury yields would move higher. As discussed, while the US economy was initially weak, it quickly recovered and grew at a solid pace. However, concerns about global growth, sharply falling oil prices and geopolitical concerns triggered several flights to quality. Against this backdrop, the yield on the 10-year Treasury fell from 2.53% to 2.17% during the reporting period, and the overall US bond market, as measured by the Barclays US Aggregate Index,5 gained 1.96%. Riskier fixed income securities produced weak results during the six months ended December 31, 2014. High yield bonds, as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Cash Pay Constrained Index6 declined 2.93% during the reporting period. Emerging markets debt, as measured by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (EMBI Global),7 fell 3.27%.

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.

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2014, Class A shares of UBS Asset Growth Fund declined 5.03% (Class A shares fell 10.22% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares declined 4.93%. The Fund's benchmark, the MSCI World Free Index (net) (the "Index") returned -1.17%. (Class P shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 7; please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The Fund produced negative returns during the semi-annual period and underperformed the benchmark.

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 use of currency forwards and currency futures had a direct negative impact on Fund performance. Various equity and fixed income futures and ETFs (exchange-traded funds) were utilized 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 detracted from performance during the reporting period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  The Fund's long directional position in certain equity markets generated positive absolute returns during the reporting period.

  – The Fund's position in Japanese equities was the biggest contributor to positive performance as Japanese equities rallied on the back of monetary stimulus.

  – Strong positive performance was gained from the Fund's position in US equities, as the US market continued to rally through the second half of the year.

What didn't work:

•  The portfolio's position in fixed income securities was negative for results.

  – The Fund held positions in high yield bonds and emerging market debt in both local and hard currency. These positions generated negative performance during the reporting period as concerns related to sharply falling oil prices began to negatively impact these asset classes.

•  Overall, the Fund's currency positions were headwinds for performance.

  – The Fund was hurt by a position of long Japanese yen relative to the US dollar, as well as a position of long euro relative to the US dollar.

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

UBS Asset Growth Fund

•  Leverage detracted from the Fund's performance.

  – The Fund maintains a volatility target of 15% or less annually. During the reporting period, market volatility and Fund-realized volatility remained mostly subdued, and, therefore, the Fund maintained leverage throughout the period. However, during October and December, the volatility of the baseline portfolio rose to the point where the amount of leverage being applied to reach the Fund's target volatility of 15% was reduced. The Fund's leverage ranged from the maximum 175% down to 125%. Since the Fund maintained leverage throughout a period where its market allocations were negative, leverage detracted from performance.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2014 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—2.36% and 1.57%; Class C—3.13% and 2.32%; Class P—2.11% and 1.32%. 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 27, 2015, do not exceed 1.40% for Class A shares, 2.15% for Class C shares and 1.15% for Class P 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  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.

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.

Prior to February 17, 2015, 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. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015, there will be a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Shares that an investor holds or purchases prior to implementation of this new holding period are subject to preexisting terms for the holding period as outlined in the prospectus.

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

UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2014, Class A shares of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund (the "Fund") gained 1.89% (Class A shares declined 3.70% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares rose 2.14%. For purposes of comparison, the BofA Merrill Lynch US Treasury 1-5 Year Index returned 0.43% during the same time period, the MSCI World Free Index (net) returned -1.17% and the Citigroup One-Month US Treasury Bill Index returned 0.01%. (Class P shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 14; 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 due to asset allocation and currency decisions.

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 positive 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 reporting period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Overall, the Fund's positions in equities added to results during the reporting period.

  – Net long positions in developed equities were additive for results. Strong performance was achieved from the Fund's long position in Japanese equities, which rallied off of the back of monetary stimulus, as well as US equities, which continued to perform well amid concerns about global growth.

  – The Fund's preference for China A shares relative to China H shares was a strong contributor during the reporting period.

•  Overall, the Fund's fixed income positioning was slightly positive for performance.

  – During the period, the Fund preferred Australian government bonds over US Treasuries, which benefited performance.

  – The Fund's positioning in European government bonds, such as UK, Italian and French government bonds, was additive to performance.

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

UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund

•  Overall, the portfolio's active currency strategy added to performance.

  – The Fund's short position in commodity currencies such as the New Zealand and Australian dollars was the biggest contributor to positive currency results.

What didn't work:

•  Certain equity positions were negative during the reporting period.

  – The Fund's positions in European equities detracted from performance during the reporting period.

  – Emerging market equities struggled during the volatile six month period, and the Fund was negatively impacted by its long positions.

  – The Fund's pair trade of long US industrials versus US consumer staples was a headwind for results.

•  Certain fixed income exposures detracted from results.

  – The Fund's position in emerging market debt was the biggest detractor from performance during the reporting period, as concerns grew over the falling price of oil.

•  Several currency trades performed poorly.

  – The Fund's trade of long Japanese yen versus the US dollar and euro detracted from performance over the reporting period.

  – The position of long Swedish krona versus the British pound was also negative.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2014 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.42% and 1.35%; Class C—2.18% and 2.10%; Class P—1.15% and 1.10%. 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 27, 2015, do not exceed 1.35% for Class A shares, 2.10% for Class C shares and 1.10% for Class P 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  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.

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.

Prior to February 17, 2015, 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. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015, there will be a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Shares that an investor holds or purchases prior to implementation of this new holding period are subject to preexisting terms for the holding period as outlined in the prospectus.

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

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 (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

13  Payments from/to the counterparty will be received/made upon the occurrence of bankruptcy and/or restructuring event with respect to the referenced index/obligation.

14  If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or (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.

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.

UBS Global Allocation Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2014, Class A shares of UBS Global Allocation Fund (the "Fund") gained 1.00% (Class A shares returned -4.54% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares rose 1.16%. In contrast, the Fund's benchmark, the 60% MSCI All Country World Index (net)/40% Citigroup World Government Bond Index (Hedged in USD), gained 0.54% during the same time period. For comparison purposes, the MSCI All Country World Index (net) returned -1.90%, the Citigroup World Government Bond Index (Hedged in USD) returned 4.26%, the Russell 3000 Index returned 5.25%, the MSCI World Free Index (net) returned -1.17%, and the Citigroup World Government Bond Index returned -5.21% over the same period. (Class P 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 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 and outperformed the benchmark. Positive performance was primarily due to our market allocation strategy and currency management.

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 positive 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 reporting period.

Portfolio performance summary1

What worked:

•  Overall, the portfolio's allocations among equity markets added to performance during the reporting period.

  – The biggest contributors to performance relative to the benchmark were the Fund's overweight positions in Japanese and Chinese equities, as both of these markets benefited from further stimulus by their central banks.

•  Overall, the Fund's allocation among fixed income markets was beneficial for performance.

  – The Fund benefited from long positions in French and Italian government bonds during the reporting period as spreads contracted amid speculation of central bank easing.

  – The Fund also benefited from a relative value trade of long UK gilts versus German bunds, as the spread between the two sovereign bonds narrowed during the reporting period.

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

UBS Global Allocation Fund

•  Overall, the portfolio's active currency positions were additive for performance.

  – The Fund maintained an overweight to the US dollar relative to commodity currencies such as the New Zealand dollar and Australian dollar. This significantly added to performance relative to the benchmark.

What didn't work:

•  Certain equity trades detracted from performance during the reporting period.

  – The Fund's relative trade of long European equities versus US equities was negative during the reporting period.

  – The Fund's relative trade of long Canadian equities versus Australian equities detracted from performance.

•  Certain fixed income allocations detracted from results.

  – The Fund's overweight to emerging market debt detracted from performance, as concerns grew about emerging sovereigns and corporates meeting their debt obligations in the face of falling oil prices and a rising US dollar.

  – The Fund's position in high yield corporate bonds was slightly negative for performance, as the high yield energy sector came under pressure amid plunging oil prices.

•  Overall, the Fund's security selection was negative for results during the reporting period.

  – The biggest detractor from performance was the Fund's security selection within US large-cap equities.

This letter is intended to assist shareholders in understanding how the Fund performed during the six months ended December 31, 2014. The views and opinions in the letter were current as of February 17, 2015. They are not guarantees of future performance or investment results and should not be taken as investment advice. Investment decisions reflect a variety of factors, and we reserve the right to change our views about individual securities, sectors and markets at any time. As a result, the views expressed should not be relied upon as a forecast of the Fund's future investment intent. We encourage you to consult your financial advisor regarding your personal investment program.

Mutual funds are sold by prospectus only. You should read it carefully and consider a fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses and other important information contained in the prospectus before investing.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2014 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—1.36% and 1.36%; Class C—2.14% and 2.14%; Class P—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 27, 2015, do not exceed 1.35% for Class A shares, 2.10% for Class C shares and 1.10% for Class P 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  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.

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) are replacing 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.

Prior to February 17, 2015, 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. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015, there will be a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Shares that an investor holds or purchases prior to implementation of this new holding period are subject to preexisting terms for the holding period as outlined in the prospectus.

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

*  Non-income producing security.

1  Security, or portion thereof, was on loan at December 31, 2014.

2  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are considered liquid, unless noted otherwise, and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At December 31, 2014, the value of these securities amounted to $4,337,382 or 0.84% of net assets.

3  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. Regulation S applies to securities offerings that are made outside of the United States and do not involve direct selling efforts in the United States. At December 31, 2014, the value of these securities amounted to $8,610,893 or 1.66% of net assets.

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 security of the same maturity.

UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund

Portfolio performance

For the six months ended December 31, 2014, Class A shares of UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund (the "Fund") declined 0.20% (Class A shares returned -4.71% after the deduction of the maximum sales charge), while Class P shares declined 0.06%. For comparison purposes, the Barclays US Corporate Investment Grade Index (the "Index") gained 1.69% during the same time period. (Class P shares have lower expenses than other share classes of the Fund. Returns for all share classes over various time periods are shown on page 46; please note that these returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares, while the Index returns do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.)

The portfolio was managed in accordance with our low-to-moderate risk profile for the Fund during the review period, and we continued to place a strong emphasis on minimizing interest rate risk and protecting capital. During the six-month period, the Fund paid out income in line with its objective and additionally distributed capital gains earned by the fund.

During the reporting period, we used derivatives, including writing covered calls, 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 summary1

What worked:

•  The Fund's allocation to US equities contributed to performance during the reporting period.

  – The Fund maintained a long position of approximately 14% to US equities, which had strong performance throughout the period. The majority of this allocation was to high dividend stocks.

•  The Fund's exposure to real estate was beneficial for performance.

  – The Fund maintained approximately 6% of its assets in global real estate investment trusts, which performed well during the six-month reporting period.

•  The Fund's allocation to global infrastructure added to performance.

  – The Fund held approximately 4% of its assets in global infrastructure stocks during the reporting period. These assets provided strong performance, delivered through the combination of secure, long-term and operational contracts with intrinsic inflation protection.

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

UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund

What didn't work:

•  The Fund's allocation to non-US developed and emerging markets equities detracted from performance.

  – The Fund held approximately 8% of its assets in non-US developed equities. Due to concerns regarding global growth and political uncertainty, markets such as Europe and the UK struggled during the reporting period.

  – The Fund maintained a position of approximately 3% in emerging markets equities. As the price of oil continued to fall and the US dollar strengthened, concerns grew over emerging markets corporates and the equity market was negatively impacted.

•  The Fund's allocation to high yield corporate bonds was negative during the reporting period.

  – High yield corporate bonds continue to be a large portion of the portfolio given attractive yields and strong fundamentals. However, the energy sector, which comprises roughly 15% of the US high yield index, was negatively impacted during the period by the falling price of oil. Spreads in the energy sector widened significantly during the period.

•  The Fund's allocation to emerging markets debt was negative for performance.

  – The Fund maintained a position of approximately 6% in emerging markets debt over the reporting period. As the price of oil continued to decline, concerns grew on countries that derive a large portion of their exports from oil, such as Russia, Venezuela and Nigeria.

The annualized gross and net expense ratios, respectively, for each class of shares as in the October 28, 2014 prospectuses were as follows: Class A—2.04% and 1.35%; Class C—2.79% and 2.10%; Class P—1.57% and 1.10%. 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 27, 2015, do not exceed 0.95% for Class A shares, 1.70% for Class C shares and 0.70% for Class P shares. Pursuant to the written agreement, the Advisor is entitled to be reimbursed for any fees it waives and expenses it reimburses for a period of three years following such fee waivers and expense reimbursements to the extent that such reimbursement of the Advisor by the Fund will not cause the Fund to exceed any applicable expense limit that is in place for the Fund. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement may be terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees at any time and also will terminate automatically upon the expiration or termination of the Fund's advisory contract with the Advisor. Upon termination of the fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement, however, UBS Global AM (Americas)'s three year recoupment rights will survive.

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

2  Maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 4.5%. Class A shares bear ongoing 12b-1 service fees.

3  Maximum contingent deferred sales charge for Class C shares is 0.75% imposed on redemptions and is reduced to 0% after one year. Class C shares bear ongoing 12b-1 distribution and service fees.

4  Class P shares do not bear initial or contingent deferred sales charges or ongoing 12b-1 service and distribution fees, but Class P shares held through advisory programs may be subject to a program fee, which, if included, would have reduced performance.

5  The Barclays US Corporate Investment Grade Index is a sub-index of the Barclays US Credit Index, and includes USD-denominated securities publicly issued by US and non-US industrial, utility, and financial issuers that meet the specified maturity, liquidity and quality requirements. Investors should note that the indices do not reflect the deduction of fees and expenses.

Prior to February 17, 2015, 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. For sales or exchanges taking place on or after February 17, 2015, there will be a reduction in the redemption holding period from 90 days to 30 days. Shares that an investor holds or purchases prior to implementation of this new holding period are subject to preexisting terms for the holding period as outlined in the prospectus.

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

UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund

Portfolio of investments

December 31, 2014 (unaudited)

Portfolio footnotes

*  Non-income producing security.

1  Amount represents less than 0.005%.

2  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are considered liquid, unless noted otherwise, and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At December 31, 2014, the value of these securities amounted to $933,095 or 4.64% of net assets.

3  Variable or floating rate security—The interest rate shown is the current rate as of December 31, 2014 and changes periodically.

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

6  Security exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. Regulation S applies to securities offerings that are made outside of the United States and do not involve direct selling efforts in the United States. At December 31, 2014, the value of these securities amounted to $1,060,080 or 5.27% of net assets.

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

ETF  Exchange Traded Fund

EURIBOR  Euro Interbank Offered Rate

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, July 1, 2014 to December 31, 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 July 1, 2014 to December 31, 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 period reported, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any, at net asset value on the ex-dividend dates, and a sale at net asset value on the last day of each period reported. The figures do not include any applicable sales charges; results would be lower if they were included. Total investment return for periods of less than one year has not been annualized. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends/distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

3  Amount represents less than $0.005 per share.

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

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

1. Organization and significant accounting policies

The UBS Funds (the "Trust") is registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), as amended, as an open-end management investment company currently offering multiple series representing separate investment portfolios. The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust organized on August 13, 1993. The trustees of the Trust have the authority to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at a par value of $0.001 per share.

The Trust has 14 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, UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund, UBS Global Allocation Fund, and UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund (each a "Fund", and collectively, the "Funds").

Each of the Funds is classified as a "diversified" investment company with the exception of UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund which is classified as "non-diversified" for purposes of the 1940 Act. The Funds currently offer Class A, Class C and Class P 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 P shares have no distribution or service plan.

In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification for certain liabilities. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had any prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each series. Expenses directly attributable to each series are charged to that series' operations; expenses which are applicable to all series are allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") is the exclusive reference of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative US GAAP for SEC registrants. The Funds' financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

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

Each Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio securities. The Funds normally obtain market values for their investments from independent pricing sources and broker-dealers. Independent pricing sources may use reported last sale prices, official market closing prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized "evaluation" systems that derive values based on comparable investments. An evaluation system incorporates parameters such as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/or research and evaluations by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations, if available, in determining the valuation of the portfolio investments. Investments also may be valued based on appraisals derived from information concerning the investment or similar investments received from recognized dealers in those hold-

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

ings. 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 asset management subsidiary of UBS Group AG. UBS Group AG is an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland. UBS Group AG operates 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.

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon values from third party vendors or quotations from market makers to the extent available, and the change in value, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of assets and liabilities. In the event that market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, the swap is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board.

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

The Board has delegated to the UBS Global AM Global Valuation Committee ("GVC") the responsibility for making fair value determinations with respect to the Funds' portfolio holdings. The GVC is comprised of representatives of management, including members of the investment team.

The GVC provides reports to the Board at each quarterly meeting regarding any investments that have been fair valued, valued pursuant to standing instructions approved by the GVC, or where non-vendor pricing sources had been used to make fair value determinations when sufficient information exists during the prior quarter. Fair valuation determinations are subject to review at least monthly by the GVC during scheduled meetings. Pricing decisions, processes, and controls over fair value determinations are subject to internal and external reviews, including annual internal compliance reviews and periodic internal audit reviews.

The types of investments for which such fair value pricing may be necessary include, but are not limited to: foreign investments under some circumstances, 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. 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


78



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

circumstances. Such circumstances include agreed upon net asset value thresholds. If triggered, the derivative counterparty could request additional cash margin and/or terminate the derivative contract. The aggregate fair value of the derivative contracts that are in a net liability position that contain these triggers can be found in the Portfolio of investments. The aggregate fair value of assets that are already posted as collateral as of December 31, 2014 is reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities. If the applicable credit-risk related contingent features were triggered as of December 31, 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 period ended December 31, 2014, except for forward foreign currency contracts for UBS Global Allocation Fund and forward foreign currency contracts, options and swap agreements for UBS Dynamic Alpha 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

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.

Notes to financial statements

C. Investment transactions, investment income and expenses: Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment and foreign exchange transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Dividend income and expenses are recorded on the ex-dividend date ("ex-date") except in the case of certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon after the ex-date as the respective Fund, using reasonable diligence, becomes aware of such dividends. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.

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

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

Although the net assets and the market value of each Fund's portfolio are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of each Fund's fiscal period, the Funds do not generally isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from the effect of the changes in market prices of securities. However, the Funds do isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the realized gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency-denominated securities pursuant to US federal income tax regulations. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with US federal income tax regulations.

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

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


85



The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

unrealized gains or losses on foreign forward currency contracts by the Funds. Realized gains and losses include net gains and losses recognized by each Fund on contracts which have been sold or matured.

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

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

Subsequent payments, known as "variation margin", are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying futures contracts. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the futures contract is closed or expires, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures.

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

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

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

Certain Funds may enter into currency swap agreements with another party to receive or pay amounts based on changes in currency exchange rates in order to protect itself from or take advantage of exchange rate fluctuations. The Funds utilize currency swaps to earn income and enhance returns as well as to manage the risk profile of the Funds. 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.

Notes to financial statements

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

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

The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of all credit default swap agreements outstanding as of December 31, 2014 for which a Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed under the section "Credit default swaps on corporate issues—sell protection" in the Notes to Portfolio of investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into, if any, by a Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

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

The UBS Funds

Notes to financial statements

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 in the Statement of operations. Fluctuations in the value of swap agreements are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap agreements.

I. Option writing: Certain Funds may write (sell) put and call options on foreign or US securities, indices, foreign currencies and interest rate swaps (commonly referred to as swaptions), in order to gain exposure to or protect against changes in the markets or in an attempt to enhance income or gains. When a Fund writes a call or a put option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund's Statement of assets and liabilities as an asset and as an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option written. If an option which the Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or a loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security or derivative instrument, and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss (long-term or short-term, depending on the holding period of the underlying security) from the sale of the underlying security or derivative instrument and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option which a Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security or derivative instrument which the Fund purchases upon exercise of the option.

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

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

K. Short sales: UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund may enter into short sales whereby it sells a security it generally does not own, in anticipation of a decline in the security's price. The initial amount of a short sale is recorded as a liability which is marked to market daily. Fluctuations in the value of this liability are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on the Statement of operations. If the Fund shorts a security while holding a long position in the security (a "short against the box"), as the security price declines, the short position increases in value, offsetting the long position's decrease in value. The opposite effect occurs if the security price rises. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon closing of the short sale (returning the security to the lender by way of purchase or delivery of a long position owned). The Fund is liable to the lender for any dividends payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. These dividends are booked as an expense or liability of the Fund. The Fund segregates collateral consisting of cash, US government securities or other liquid assets sufficient to collateralize the market value of short positions. The Fund is charged a securities loan fee in connection with short sale transactions.

Notes to financial statements

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 period ended December 31, 2014, the following Fund recorded recaptured commissions which are reflected in 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 period ended December 31, 2014, redemption fees for each Fund amounted to less than $0.01 per share and less than 0.01% of average net assets.

Effective February 17, 2015, for purchases of shares on or after that date, the redemption fee will be calculated as a percentage of the amount redeemed within 30 days of purchase, if applicable.

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 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 Asset Growth Fund, UBS Dynamic Alpha Fund and UBS Global Allocation Fund received US government agency securities as collateral with a market value of $4,080,296, $327,800 and $4,800,681, respectively, which cannot be resold. The value of loaned securities and related collateral at December 31, 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 year ended June 30, 2014 were as follows:

paid from

long-term gains

The tax character of distributions paid and components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis for the current fiscal year will be determined after the Trust's fiscal year ending June 30, 2015.

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.

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 December 31, 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 on 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 six months ended December 31, 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.

As of and during the period ended December 31, 2014, the Funds did not have any liabilities for any uncertain tax positions. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

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 period ended December 31, 2014.

Except as described in this privacy notice, the Funds will not use Personal Information for any other purpose unless the Funds describe how such Personal Information will be used and clients are given an opportunity to decline approval of such use of Personal Information relating to them (or affirmatively approve the use of Personal Information, if required by applicable law).
